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

OP posts:
Strawberryfizzylaces1 · 14/02/2014 11:59

Thanks Sara and genni- how do I make them go bold? Not figured that out yet! I don't want to get obsessed with using them but equally I don't want to miss ov and then take ages to get a bfp. X

SnowBells · 14/02/2014 12:52

I think I may need to reserve a space on the March bus as I believe AF is about to arrive early, kicking me off the February bus. It's Cycle 4 BFP now likely due 19th March.

SaRaRaRaRa · 14/02/2014 15:02

You're right Genni, I should make the most of Valentines romance today. Am just worried as he has already text me today mentioning it so I know it's on his mind, I hope it doesn't become a mental block for him. Maybe a nice romantic meal and a few drinks will help this evening Wink

MrsB, yes it will happen this cycle! Positive thinking and all that. I don't take EPO but think I might next month if no joy this so let us know how you get on with that. Ginger, if you take EPO past ov (if you don't know exactly when you have ov'd) can it be detrimental do you know?

Also, I remember hearing something about pineapple - am I making that up or does anyone know whether this can be a helpful thing when TTC?

Snowbells, I hope you don't have to join us (in the nicest way possible!) but if AF does show then welcome Smile

SaRaRaRaRa · 14/02/2014 15:03

Strawberry using each side of word with no gaps makes things go bold*.

Gingerbreadlady1 · 14/02/2014 16:30

Someone said grapefruit juice help sarara not heard of pineapple. I don't think epo past ov will do any massive harm, just not recommended but I'm no expert!

gennibugs · 14/02/2014 18:42

I read last year that pineapple core helps with implantation apparently.

I think you eat it up to a point in your cycle. I remember googling it and there was a lot of discussion about it - can't remember the details exactlyGrin

flirty30s · 14/02/2014 19:13

Sorry to hear that keepingmyconvertible hope you are feeling much better today! I would just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride (pun intended) until March 14th! And make sure hubby is pampering you lots tonight!

Silly question ladies on the pineapple core...is that the part that is really hard? I thought it was unedible? Confused

SkylerRose · 15/02/2014 09:00

Hi can I join? Ttc#1 cycle 6 BFP due 15th :)

SkylerRose · 15/02/2014 09:17

I haven't been on these properly since last June so thought I'd add some info again.... Dh and myself both 26 been ttc for around 18 months but with pcos and me having arthritis we were referred to hosp 3 months ago and I start the 1st of 4 rounds of chlomid today so fingers crossed! Baby dust for everyone Grin

mama31 · 15/02/2014 14:22

Hi ladies how you all doing? Hope you all made the most of Vday, especially those with ovulation approaching ;)

Well I'm certain that the reflexology/new vits (vitex/maca) have somewhat helped as I am ovulating a day earlier than usual! Got pos opk today and wasn't expecting it until tomorrow! Every day counts for the LP on the other side :)

DH and I have had plenty of action this cycle and will continue dtd today, tomorrow and Mon to make sure all bases covered! Slightly concerned about too much action decreasing sperm quality but as pos opk today, can't stop and miss the egg!!!!

I hope you are all having a relaxing wkend and for those ovulating....get to work....babies to be made!!!!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 15/02/2014 14:31

You go mama! Happy shagging!

SaRaRaRaRa · 15/02/2014 14:32

Thanks ladies, might drink some pineapple juice rather than eat the core!

Welcome Skyler, fx the clomid does the job for you.

Fantastic that those things have worked mama. Hopefully the will help with the spotting too.

Got yet another flashing smiley, driving me crazy! Keeping going with dtd though, until we get fixed smiley or run out of energy! I know what my money is on happening first Grin

Hope you all had lovely valentine's days and happy weekend to you all Smile

SaRaRaRaRa · 15/02/2014 14:40

Oh mama, we have dtd lots this cycle too (due to inconclusive OPKs!) so have also been worrying about DH's supplies, can't really find any info on whether sex everyday is bad for the swimmers. Am too worried to skip a day in case that turns out to be the crucial one! Surely tired swimmers are better than none?!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 15/02/2014 14:46

Not necessarily bad if you skip a day ladies. Better quality swimmers plus it takes a while for them to reach egg and sperm can live for 3-5 days inside us so I'm aiming for every second day near to ov then once a day for 3 days after ov. more than that just too exhausting!

skyler I'm on second month of clomid, how you finding it?

gennibugs · 15/02/2014 14:56

Hi ladies! Hope we are all having a nice weekend!

I am now worried having read your posts that we didn't do it enough! aargh we just can't win can we!

I guess if no BFP then maybe that will be something to try next month :)

mama31 · 15/02/2014 14:56

Thanks sararara! I'm hoping it helps the spotting!!

Also please see the link on feb bus kitty posted for me re dtd every day!!! Very interesting reading and would suggest every day is a good thing! :) keep at it sara....i def will be! ;)

gennibugs · 15/02/2014 14:56

Ps sara sorry to read you got another flashing.

FX you get your fixed tomorrow...

mama31 · 15/02/2014 14:57

Oh and re pineapple, has to be the core! Don't think juice helps. I did it a few cycles back and obv no bfp so ditched that idea!

SaRaRaRaRa · 15/02/2014 15:03

Thanks Ginger, won't feel so bad if we don't manage to keep all this dtd up then Grin

Mama, will pop onto feb bus to check out that link...

Thanks Genni. You will have done it at the crucial times so don't worry about frequency. I would much rather a few well timed shags that having to go every day Wink But what else is there to do on the 2ww but worry?! Hmm

Gingerbreadlady1 · 15/02/2014 20:02

No way I could be arsed with every day! I'm massively impressed by those that can.

boumplj · 15/02/2014 20:23

TTC 1, cycle 2, BFP due 20 March, also the anniversary of when I met my husband, so would be a very special present.....

SkylerRose · 15/02/2014 22:29

Thanks guys. I couldn't say yet ginger as I'm only on day 1 of the tablets lol. Fingers crossed Wink

RetroHippy · 16/02/2014 08:48

CD 12 and I have given up temping as my chart looked similar to the new ride at Alton Towers Hmm.

No cm at all now following what I think was EWCM on CD 5 Hmm. OPKs were also darker then than they are now.

Also very much enjoying Dry January being over, to the extent that I can't remember DTD on Friday, though I suspect we did...

And now appear to have given up sex altogether in favour of sleeping Hmm.

Notice this face Hmm is featuring a lot, all of the above is obviously a recipe for success Grin.

SnowBells · 16/02/2014 10:19

Now have to officially join the March bus as AF kicked in.

Cycle #4, BFP due 19th March.

babytinks89 · 16/02/2014 10:25

I think i will be joining you girls. 15dpo today and a bfn! no sign of af yet..... But hoping it hurrys up so we can try again! :)
