Hi everyone, I'm taking a plunge and starting our folicking March bus off to a start.

Lunchtime deed done!! DH loves it when ovulation is approaching!!! I on the other hand am slightly flustered in my late return to work!

Tranquilitybaby · 12/02/2014 16:16

Thanks both of you regarding OPKs, think I'll give them a ho just to see if the signs I get are correct. SaRaRaRaRa - I am so tempted, but I'm going to Disney!! So would be parks for a few hours each day then rest time in the afternoons back at the pool. I can remember if I was showing much at 20-24 weeks before.

Thanks though much appreciated. X

SaRaRaRaRa · 12/02/2014 18:25

Ah that would be a bit of a bummer then - no rollercoasters!

Good work mama, am impressed!

Moonbeam83 · 12/02/2014 20:24

Hi all I'm new to the site so here goes........

ttc #1 cycle 8 bfp due 2 March - so I think I shud b on this bus.

Feeling quite frustrated as it seems to be taking so long to get the result I want :(

angelicjen · 12/02/2014 20:45

Lol mama! That is serious dedication!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 12/02/2014 21:08

I hear ya moonbeam! I'm cycle 16!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 12/02/2014 21:08

Very impressed with your dedication mama

mama31 · 12/02/2014 21:18

Thanks ladies! I work close to home so sometimes an extended lunch hour is justified....all in the name of ttc!

Cycle 9 here ladies I hear ya!!! Getting a bit much really! Time we all had our bfp and I so hope March is the bus for us!!!!

Moonbeam83 · 12/02/2014 21:49

Omg gingerbreadlady I think I would be out of my mind by that stage

Well definitely fingers crossed for March bfp :)

bellaboo88 · 12/02/2014 22:40

Blimey gennibugs that's early!! How longs your cycle again??

I'm also trying DTD earlier this month, normally ov cd17 & maybe only do it around cd15 onwards so we'll see....trying from cd10

Does anyone feel 'a bit dry' tho? Don't fancy pressed, heard its expensive...anyone know of any 'friendly' lubes? X

Tranquilitybaby · 12/02/2014 23:01

Preseed bellaboo? X

Nordicmom · 12/02/2014 23:11

So I reckon I'm soon ov , definitely feel it coming but test still negative although only did it in the day when I started feeling like this . If regular cycle it should be this weekend but maybe I'm early so will test in the morning . Feel really blaaah and pessimistic about the whole thing to be honest . Trying to deside whether to jump the ship by June or keep on going for the 12m before IVF ...

bellaboo88 · 13/02/2014 08:22

*preseed pfft stupid tablet yes tranquility lol. Tbh I did a danger poke last night and it wasn't bad, I think cough medicines kicked in! :-)

Nordic :-( sorry you feel this way, keep going.

I had cuddles with a newborn (terrified of newborns!) And a 4month old last week...miles easier. It reinforced how much I want this. Officially have a baby box in wardrobe now, few bits n bobs...box of knits from great aunt a few years ago...lost her Xmas eve, she told me to get on with it! She knew she wouldn't b here to see x

gennibugs · 13/02/2014 09:27

Well if the CB opks are correct I'm now in my 2ww.

bellaboo at the moment my cycle seems to be 26/27 days which is super short for me. We ve been using conceive plus lube this month and it's been good so far!

Ha I'm scared of newborns too - they seem so fragile and tiny!

For those of you long timers - I really hope this is your month.

Goodfruit · 13/02/2014 10:41

Hi all, would love to join you on the March bus! TTC#2, cycle#5, BFP due 14th March.

I really thought last month was the month but AF arrived a few days ago so here we go again. Actually this month would be lovely as the EDD would be both my and my late step-dad's birthday (does anyone else use the due date calculator as soon as AF arrives or is it just me?!!) Anyway this seems like a great bus to join. Tranquilitybaby I reckon 20-24 weeks would be a really good time to be on holiday - hopefully post-early symptoms but well before you're too big to do anything.

I've been using cheapy OPKs the last few months but think I will just give them a miss this time as we're DTD pretty much every day CD10-20 anyway! Also I was diagnosed with PCOS when much younger, not sure if I actually have it as we conceived DD very quickly but if I do it seems as though OPKs would be a waste of time anyway.

Good luck everyone x

SaRaRaRaRa · 13/02/2014 10:53

Welcome goodfruit and all newbies!

I have lots of admiration for you long timers, fx this is the lucky month for us all, especially you.

Genni am Envy re 2ww. My cycles are about 27 days too and I got another flashing smiley this morning - my fourth! Am now starting to panic I am not ovulating. This is exactly why OPKs are bad I guess. Will keep testing and hopefully get a peak tomorrow. Am dtd-ing away but would quite like to know the end is in sight Blush. Might do smep next month if no joy this - doing it everyday is exhausting!

gennibugs · 13/02/2014 11:55

sara fingers crossed you get the fixed tomorrow. I have to say, I think both DH and I are relieved to be able to have a break, this morning we were both blooming exhausted. Are you testing at the same time every day? It does say on the packet that some people get more flashing smilies than other - I guess it doesnt hurt to DTD as much as poss during this time though hey.

MuddyLady · 13/02/2014 12:09

Hi March bus. AF just chucked me off the Feb bus - give us a lift! One-way to a BFP on the 29th would be great Wink

SaRaRaRaRa · 13/02/2014 12:25

Yes testing same time - fmu. Will try again tomorrow! Did you stop dtd after your peak?

Hey muddy, jump on board!

mama31 · 13/02/2014 12:34

Hi ladies! Quick tip: check out carolinecain.com shows a video of how to do a few reflexology motions on your hand to boost fertility! Worth a go!

gennibugs · 13/02/2014 12:49

Ooh Ill check out that link Mama - thanks.

We carried on for for 2 days after the peak, DH is away today so we'll have to leave it at that I think and hope we've done enough! :)

Strawberryfizzylaces1 · 13/02/2014 12:51

Hi ladies, can I jump in. Is there anybody waiting to try next cycle? Af is due next week then I can can crack on with ttc, bfp due 20th march... Getting so impatient and hate wishing the time away! But it's so hard not to think about it. Am I the only person who feels this way? X

mama31 · 13/02/2014 13:14

No strawberry! We all feel that way! Wishing our lives away until we get our bfp....sad as it is...at least we are in it together!

flirty30s · 13/02/2014 13:36

Mama31 you made me LOL. You certainly have much more exciting lunch hours than I do! Bellaboo88 I can recommend preseed although I know it is quite expensive. Conceive plus is maybe slightly cheaper but I think you can get one on prescription from your doctor too?

SaRaRaRaRa · 13/02/2014 13:53

Thanks mama will check that link out.

Genni that sounds like a good effort!

Strawberry I know what you mean! When I have AF I wish time away til ov, when in 2ww I wish time away til AF and can try again. And repeat. The joys of TTC Grin
