We're are getting dangerously close to 1000 posts on the other bus so thought I would start another one. Will update stats in another post. Fingers Crossed for lots more BFPs Grin

I think we probably are Kate. Nothing yet.

I'm really cross - I've had tingling nipples and cramps for nearly a week, nausea for a few days...and then a BFN! How unfair?! AF can now do her thing and show up, I'm desperate to get this month over with and start afresh next month!

toots123 · 28/02/2014 13:21

I would also like af to turn up. Testing tomorrow but dont have high hopes.

Here's to march!

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 28/02/2014 14:01

Hi ladies come and join me on my thread for ladies bfp due end march/beg April :) x

mama31 · 28/02/2014 15:02

Hi ladies sorry to hear your still in limbo hazel! The waiting is the worst. I'm not expecting af until Sunday but could be as late as Tuesday as taking vitex should regulate things including my cycle length. If so, I'd get a 28 day cycle which would be tuesday. Seems a long wait but I've accepted that it's coming and feeling positive for next cycle. I'm not hanging on hoping for my bfp this cycle as got a bfn this morning at 12dpo and I know this just isn't my cycle now.

Determined to keep positive though and enjoy the wkend! When are you ladies joining us on the mad March bus? It's a crazy one, full of giggles!

missmrsmummy · 28/02/2014 15:37

Hi mama I think we are all going to descend tomorrow morning! Watch out!

This bus has been pants!

missmrsmummy · 28/02/2014 15:38

You're all great though Grin

mama31 · 28/02/2014 15:55

Missmrs this bus has been an epic fail.....but that just means that March bus is going to have an immense amount of bfp's!

Hazelbrowneyes · 28/02/2014 16:09

I think I'll move over to the March bus tomorrow but AF hasn't appeared yet so who knows what date my BFP will be due? Sad

Here's to a better March for all of us x

KittyVonCatsington · 28/02/2014 16:19

Phew! Well, that's one hell of a week over...(well nearly, supervising a homework club till 4:30 and I'm pretending to do some work whilst, catching up on your news!) Was really hopping to see a BFP (looks like ladys line will be our BFP send off!)

The March bus will be the one. It has to be!

Have been Googling lots (really should step away...) and lot of women are super fertile after a chemical (I know that not everyone is Sad ) so will hope I'm one of them! Have been obsessing over the fact that I have a luteal phase on the short side, so will hunt down some Vitex as well as B6.

I just one of those who is not used to not being in control. That, and I'm just exhausted at the thought of more regular DTD - what am I like!!??

missmrsmummy · 28/02/2014 16:39

kitty I'm exhausted at the thought of more DTD as well! Especially by your standards!

I'm on CD9 and thinking of starting DTD every other day from tomorrow onwards. Haven't bought any opks! What a rebel. Ov due on weds but was late last cycle so who knows when it will be this time!

ladydolly · 28/02/2014 16:51

I hope I'm a good example of being more fertile after a chemical... darker line on the HPT today so hoping it's sticking.

kitty I started taking B6 after my first cycle after having my coil out produced only a 7 day luteal phase, it may have just been because it was the first month but since then I've gone up to 14 days.

I also have found the lack of control really hard, I think that's why I'm so obsessed with my ovuview app, I know it doesn't 'do' anything but the charts make me feel like I have an element of control.

Good luck to all!

missmrsmummy · 28/02/2014 16:59

Fab news lady fx it sticks!

KittyVonCatsington · 28/02/2014 16:59

I really appreciate that, Lady-you give me hope! So pleased for your darker line Grin

Can I ask, should I take B6 on its own or can I take it as part of a B Complex supplement?

OP posts:
missmrsmummy · 28/02/2014 17:06

Where do you get vitex from?

KittyVonCatsington · 28/02/2014 17:10

I've read Holland and Barrett. Boots didn't have any. Not sure where else though!

mama31 · 28/02/2014 17:20

Hey ladies. I started vitex start of this cycle and I think it's working already. I'm on cd25 now and some of my cycles have been 23 days, mostly 23-25 days, my longest was my last one at 26 days. I don't feel af is imminent, maybe sun or Mon, but if it's Tues that means I'll get a 28 day cycle and that's never happened ever! So vitex is working. Also I'd be spotting from 8dpo usually right through until af arrives. I had some very very light spotting (brown cm more like) 5-8dpo and have had nothing since. I actually believe the vitex was regulating my hormones that why I had the early spotting but thjs is the first time I've had no spotting close to af and at 12dpo!

So vitex seems to work on short LP and spotting but only if the spotting is related to low progesterone which I believe I have. Vitex is no reccomended for people with regular cycles (ie 28 days) or if your low estrogen I think (read that online somewhere).

I'm finding it good, but going to GP on Monday as I'd prefer progesterone prescribed instead of self medicating with herbals.

mama31 · 28/02/2014 17:24

Forgot to say I got my vitex from amazon, they have lots of good offers.

KittyVonCatsington · 28/02/2014 17:28

Ah. See, my cycle is regular in length but I ovulate too late (cd18-20). Might do some more reading!

katecupoftea · 28/02/2014 18:48

Now I'm out of limbo land I'm officially looking forward to next month. Getting a thermometer as didn't realise they were so cheap but also might get that conception lubricant. Does anyone use it? I found all the dtd (particularly when I wasn't in the mood after a stressful day) left me quite sore, which is why we didn't end up dtd when we should have and missed the window. Hoping the lube will help and wondering if anyone has had any experiences?

katecupoftea · 28/02/2014 18:48

Wow, lube talk. What a party topic.

toots123 · 28/02/2014 19:00

Havent used it kate but might try it for the same reasons. We dont dtd that much around ovulation so this might help!

LittleMissSunshine33 · 28/02/2014 19:13

Yes I do Kate preseed as it for conception doesn't harm the sperm and after a few days of DTD I like it! I am due on today all AF pains are here but no AF wicked witch is playing tricks on me!!!

mama31 · 28/02/2014 19:26

I think late ovulation is classed as an iregulairty as well, and I feel vitex probably helps with that as on 1st cycle I ovulated a day earlier and expect maybe a bit more by next cycle as it's for lengthening LP as well.

katecupoftea · 01/03/2014 01:27

Ladies, it's been lovely being on the bus with you and I look forward to sharing your journey on the March bus. See you on the flip slide xxx

toots123 · 01/03/2014 06:53
