Thanks missmrs I'm hoping to make the spa day fairly regular. I never thought i would enjoy them but for 55 for the day, including breakfast and lunch, it was WELL worth it!

Hmm re pregnacare. I started out on plain old folic acid. Then read lots on here and moved onto seven seas ' trying for a baby' and got very constipated.... Nice. Had a break. Started pregnacare, and again rather bunged up but have two packs to work through. However, have been a static 25 days throughtout (since af returned after coming off depo) once the pregnacare are gone i will be preggers by then i will go back to simple folic acid i think.

Hi. I'm hopping over from the February bus, cd 43 here and no sign of AF but bfn yesterday. Was an enthusiastic follower of the February bus though I didn't post much
Woohoo to Sara, Tigsy and Littlemiss. Hope the BFP's are very contagious for everyone else!
Sorry about AF mama - fingers crossed this is your month!
Off to read the last thread to discover what the dragon penis is all about!

Spotti · 01/03/2014 19:37

chuckling every time someone mentions 'dragon penis'

That guys tattooed whatsit is burned into my brain! The poor man. Actually, the poor tattoo artist/piercing person!!! When I showed it to my OH he to thought it was quite odd and gave me a sort of 'whyyyyyy would you do that to yourself?' look, but he didn't once let out a chuckle unlike me who practically wet myself at the whole thing

I love you viroids, you're so funny. I can always count on you to cheer me up when I've had a poop day Smile.

I said earlier that I'm trying not to symptom spot...well I'm feeling a bit crampy and bloated doubt it has anything to do with that naughty chocolate cake I ate earlier and (tmi alert!) white CM...it's not the blobby stuff that I think comes around the time of icing, but it's kind of sticky looking. (Again, apologies for tmi!). Looked at the calendar and apparently I've written down that AF is due on the 8th not the 10th as I thought...really hoping this crampy feeling isn't the start of an early AF!!! I will be cross if it comes early!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 01/03/2014 19:49

Hmmm, thinking the end of the 2ww is imminent, pink spotting & AF due mon. Too late for implantation bleeding Sad. Looks like it'll be cycle 19 for me, getting really fed up now! At least I can stay on the march bus.

SaRaRaRaRa · 01/03/2014 19:49

Oooh posy and allthequeens. Fx for the morning. Let us know when you have POAS.

Mama am sorry AF arrived, have a blow out and spoil yourself tonight Wine

In case it helps anyone, this month we dtd cd6 to 11 then cd13 to 16. I used digital OPKs for the first time and they didn't pick up ovulation but I usually ov cd12, the day we missed dtd ironically! Hubby and I both took the pregnacare conception tablets and I drank two cartons of pineapple juice in the 5 days after ov. I couldn't face eating the core!

SaRaRaRaRa · 01/03/2014 19:50

Gingerbreadlady sorry to hear that. If AF does get you hopefully the other end of March will be lucky for you x

Tilly28 · 01/03/2014 19:59

Oooh can I join please? Just come off the pill so I'm ttc #1 cycle 1 bfp due 22nd March (if my cycles 28 days, although been on the pill so long iv no idea)

Congratulations to all those who already have BFP! Hope there's lots more to come this month!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 01/03/2014 20:01

Thanks sarara

missmrsmummy · 01/03/2014 20:39

Notta I was on Depo too. What was your experience with it? It did the job while I was on it but had a bad time after it and wasn't warned about how much it can delay conception afterwards. Hmmph!

impatienceisavirtue · 01/03/2014 20:46

Tentative wave

I'm just about ready to start talking about the bus again.

For those that didn't catch it, I did get pregnant on the February bus but miscarried. It happened last Saturday and I was still devastated and in the sobbing-all-day place by Monday but not in a position to take time off work without making life impossible for colleagues due to already being understaffed and deadlines. I've had a horrific week and spent the first of it crying on and off. I know it was very early but it hit me very hard - to go from one day deliriously happy and excited, falling asleep with DH's hand on my stomach, to gut wrenching sadness the next. We had been TTC for eight months and couldn't believe it had finally happened.

ANYWAY. I'm ready to start talking about trying again, so hi :)

Treaclepie19 · 01/03/2014 20:48

Impatience my heart goes out to you. So sorry to hear that.
I hope you get your bfp quickly and it is a sticky bean.
Look after yourself.

rambini · 01/03/2014 20:53

waves back hi impatience. So sorry you have had such a tough week, but glad u feel able to rejoin us on this very crazy bus. Smile fingers crossed that your next bfp is a super sticky one, and in the meantime try to enjoy our again totally crazy company Smile

lindamagoo · 01/03/2014 21:00

Sorry to hear that impatience, but believe me you will get all the support you need here and a lot of laughs to perk you up a bit Smile Wishing you all the best and a much easier time of it next time round Thanks

Sparrowlegs248 · 01/03/2014 21:01

Ah impatience so sorry to hear that. Good luck for next time.

missmrs I actually lived depo! I was on it for about 7 years. No problems, no pmt no periods, nothing. Which, at the time, i thought was great!

I had my last jab sept 2012. I didn't get af til june 2013. But i've had reliable 25 day cycles since then. When i hadn't got af after 6 months, my GP did some blood tests which were 'normal' but i actually have no idea what they were for!

KittyVonCatsington · 01/03/2014 22:53

Oh, impatience, we've had a very similar week Thanks you've done well to get through to the weekend.

Chemical pregnancies are Nature's cruel joke. My sister said to me that it might be easier to think that there was something not quite right with the cells and it would not have been a healthy baby. This helps me to think our bodies know what they are doing. I've also read that some women are super fertile after a chemical...let's hope we both fall into that category!

Sparrowlegs248 · 01/03/2014 22:58

Ok so bored at home and looked back at the penis dragon links. Dear lord. I can't unsee that last one! Whyyyyy?????!!!!!

lindamagoo · 01/03/2014 23:19

So bored! My oh has put the boxing on and fell asleep on the remote Hmm Looks like it's bedtime for me. On the plus side my boobs are killing me and it's (hopefully) too soon to be af Smile

EnglishGirlAbroad · 02/03/2014 00:01

Impatience, sorry you're going through this. I also had an early mc/chem. I prefer to call it early mc as for me that pregnancy was very real. Chem sounds so harsh. I truly wish you all the best. Try not to beat yourself up over it. I like to think it's natures way of saying timing isn't right. Good luck!! Smile

kurama · 02/03/2014 06:46

Hey could use some advice this morn. I've been getting af like cramps and a dull to sharp pain in my lower right abdomen for about a day and half now. It's tender to the touch and im a bit worried but don't want to have to go to a+e unless I have to.... I'm on clomid and finished af around 2 weeks ago. so not sure if to early for anything or not???? poas yest aft and that was bfn Sad

barmybunting · 02/03/2014 07:00

karma, if it's tender to the touch I'm not sure this applies but my first thought was to wonder if it is ovulation pain? Are you ovulating just now do you know? Perhaps phone nhs 24 for some advice as it sounds rather sore.

impatience I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Life doesn't make sense sometimes. I hope you and DH can talk about how your both doing with each other.

choccy thanks for that. I have to say that your situation has been on my mind during the last month following my second chemical. I guess I should know about this cycle in the next week or so and if not a bfp, I will be off to the Dr about irregular cycles so we may well take a break during that cycle- I think dh is away when I'm due to next ovulate anyway so it may be an enforced break!

The spotting seems to have stopped this morning so I don't know what it's doing! At least full on af hasn't arrived.

barmybunting · 02/03/2014 07:00

Sorry, I meant kurama

toots123 · 02/03/2014 07:19

Morning all! Hope everyone is well

cd 51 and bfn!! I keep doubting myself now. Was the spotting I had just a really light and short af?! It was only there and nomore and never had that before...

Going a bit mad and should really try and see gp next week but feel silly and wouldn't know what to say other than "have you seen my af doc?"

kurama · 02/03/2014 07:37

barmy bunting I did wonder about that but I thought that only lasted a few hours? might have to poas again today ( ov one this time lol) hospital said he thought it could be about a week ago

barmybunting · 02/03/2014 07:49

kurama was it the Dr who prescribed you Clomid who thought you would be oving last week? I would do an opk to see if anything shows up. I'm not sure how long ov pain can last, I know mine is normally only a few hours but I think it probably differs from person to person.

toots I think you should see the Dr. You're fairly sure of when you ovulated and your cycles are normally regular, aren't you? It might be that you need blood tests to show up pregnancy.

sazzlehopes · 02/03/2014 07:52

Impatience so sorry to hear of your mc. Take it east and let these crazy bus girls take care of you!

Mama!!! Urgh pants. So sorry. Hope you treated yourself last night to drink and chocolates!

Congrats to the 3 bfp's. A really good way to start the march bus!
