Good luck with work today Missmrs :)

And hope the doctors goes well Mama :)

I'm still at home at the moment. On a course this morning. Still no smiley face yet. Cd11.

SaRaRaRaRa · 03/03/2014 07:46

linda, that's great re no spotting.

English, hurrah for a high!

SaRaRaRaRa · 03/03/2014 07:47

And kitty thanks for stats!

lindamagoo · 03/03/2014 07:52

Just been reading back through the posts and saw Barmey's post about af being all over the place since coming off the pill, I bet that's why I've had no spotting yet, af is probably going to be a bit out with stopping the pill Hmm barmy if you don't mind me asking how long were you on the pill and what type? I was only on it about 7 months, the mini pill noriday...

MrsExtraOrdinary · 03/03/2014 08:26

I'm cd8 today, we had a wkd without dc, fairly vital when ttc if you've got teenagers In The house, but a wkd without dtd. Maybe that's why it took 18mts last time?! Don't get me wrong I know I've not missed the boat this month, but i feel a bit rejected this morning.

We've got a meeting with the bank today which I have to present. And I feel like stamping my feet in a paddy, at the bank lady when she asks about how smooth our company runs? It would run a lot smoother if we'd had dtd this wkd. BrewBrewBrew Just ranting ladies, sorry!

mama31 · 03/03/2014 08:27

Thank you ladies. Will keep you updated when I get out of my appointment.

Good luck Missmrs on your first day back, hope it goes well.

Hope everyone else is ok. Awaiting the next bfp....who is it????

Hazelbrowneyes · 03/03/2014 08:29

Phew! AF has arrived on CD34 so I just get a seat here if I'm lucky enough to be back to 28 days this month.

Hazelbrowneyes TTC#1 Cycle 3 BFP 31st March

it's likely to be a longer cycle as I'm averaging 31 days but I don't want to wait at the bus stop on my own

I'm actually buying some cheapy OPKs today so I should have a better idea of when I ovulate and therefore when BFP will be due.

Oh, if I fall pregnant this month...my due date will be my birthday Grin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 03/03/2014 08:34

Hi hazel Brew You've missed out on the penis dragons!

spinningirl10 · 03/03/2014 08:44

MorningGrin

English....hurray for your peak, have fun!

Mama....good luck today xx

Barmy....fx for implantation Grin

I've lost count!! Think I'm 9/10 dpo, will probably poas tomorrow but have zero symptoms!! I have been really hungry but that's probably because I'm training quite hard.....in fact I've just reached my target weightGrin

GeorgieWilson · 03/03/2014 08:45

Well I've had a short journey on the bus and am hopping off now, AF came yesterday so with the last 2 cycles being 41 and 43 days I'll be waiting at the bus stop for an April bus!
I'll still be lurking for for dragon penis's and waving pom poms at all the BFP's.
Good Luck ladies and I don't want to see any of you on the April bus (stern voice bad glare)

Choccywoccydodah · 03/03/2014 09:16

Good luck today mama!! Cyclogest, remember that if nothing else!! I'm on 400mg every 12 hours as from today. Let us know how you get on Smile

So, first pessery this morning wasn't unpleasant, so that's good. I was dreading it tbh, but if it helps get me a sticky one, I'll do anything!!

Tigsy I had a lovely bath last night too, just need to remember another one in a few days Smile

Aww hazel, that would be lovely. If I fall this month, mine would be around my birthday too (1st nov) so s/he may come early Smile

English woohoo!! Get jiggy!!

Georgie, sorry, that's rubbish :(

Hello all I've just come over from the last march bus. Congrats to all bfps and sorry to those who af has got.

I'm currently on cd 10 2nd round of 50mg clomid. Really trying to stay positive this month which is easier said than done.. Hmm I will not get to cycle 16!!

Spotti · 03/03/2014 09:26

Morning ladies, hope everyone's ok today. We've got some lovely sunshine here today which is making this Monday morning a bit nicer than they usually are...not at work today (so not sure if 'Monday morning blues' are allowed, but the sun certainly helps make me smile!).

Sorry to hear about AF Georgie, but don't wait at the bus stop on your own (it can get cold in March!). Stick around and we'll drop you off later on :). I have breakfast biscuits a bit like Belvitas, but gluten free with chocolate chips in and a nice got cup of got chocolate if that helps to tempt you to stay?

I'm getting some mild crampy sensations, a poking feeling in my boobs and a bit of blobby EWCM (TMI ALERT: it's sort of creamy coloured, not white - does that still count as EWCM?) ...could be AF not due until next week, but maybe I'm going back to the date I should have been due on if I hadn't been late I February. Seriously hoping it's something else...or nothing at all...just not AF. Please, not AF.

Santa, for Christmas, I'd really like a baby please! I've been very, very good! flutters eye lashes and offers Santa a choccy biccie and a cuppa

cth1982 · 03/03/2014 09:41

you go off the board for a weekend and look what happens...

HUGE congrats to all the BFP's - I am so happy for you guys - much love and luck for the next 9 months!

Spent all of Sunday playing with a 3 year old - DH looked slightly shell shocked afterwards but doesn't seem to have put him off!

Still waiting for ovulation - such is the joy of life eh?

GoWestcountry · 03/03/2014 09:48

Hello All,

I'm joining from the slow March bus which seems to have ground to a halt, hope that's ok!

Congratulations on all the BFPs so far and sympathies to everyone having a rough time. Here's to happier times ahead.

Anyone else just starting the 2ww? I am feeling very very impatient already!

gennibugs · 03/03/2014 09:56

Morning all!

Hope we are all ok. Cd2 here. I appear to.ovulate early so not long til we'll be dtd like crazy. DH is off work now for 4 weeks so fingers crossed that means he ll be in the mood for plenty of pumpage!

Doctors tomorrow which I'm slightly dreading but got to be done!

I think if i get my bfp ill have a baby near my birthday too- goes off to Google. ..

PunkyPod · 03/03/2014 10:21

Morning crazy ladies! those dragons were hillarious! I hope they keep bringing us loads of luck.

Congratulations to the BFPs so far. Who's going to be next?

impatience I can only echo what's been said by many on here already about MCs...it's a huge and sad loss, there's no reason to feel like you're taking it badly. If i can just tell my story...When TTC#1 i had an MC at 7ish weeks and the grief hit me like a truck. Bloody hell it's awful. I spent about 3 weeks getting over it, accepting it had happened, thinking about what to do next etc. DH and I talked about it a lot and that helped. I started doing OPKs and soon found i was ovulating and it just felt right to jump right back on the wagon and go for it. And i have to thank my lucky stars that we conceived our DD then. She came in the cycle following the MC. I wouldn't have gone for it if it didn't feel like the right thing to do. But it did and i wouldn't be without her.

We're now TTC#2 and sadly i had another MC in January at about 6 weeks. This one didn't affect me so badly, i think i knew from the start that i didn't even feel pregnant so the hormones just weren't there. Don't get me wrong i'm sad and keep thinking about the milestones we'd be hitting now if it had stuck but I have to trust that my body knew this would not make a healthy child. Better now than finding out much later/having to go through any procedures...

We're back TTC and now on cd9. Am hoping the OPKs will start showing positives at the end of the week. DH wants this too but knows how badly i want this now.

I guess all i'm trying to say is be kind to yourself, do what feels right to you. And talk to your DH (and us) as much as you need.

mama i hope your appointment goes well.

Spring is on its way, this makes me happy Daffodil

MrBsMrsB · 03/03/2014 10:53

Good Morning all,

I think, just as a standard, we should all expect a weekend on MN to yield about 8 pages!!!

I have the stats and have attempted to add everyone to the rollcall. I'll add the list of BFPs now, but post the "Awaiting BFPs" and "Another chance to shake green Pom Poms" Ladies a little later

mama31 and gennibugs, Your bus tickets are still valid and FX you both get the last set of BFPs for this bus.

BFPs
Congratulations to
SaRaRaRaRa TTC#2 Cycle#3 BFP 1st March
Tigsy TTC#1 Cycle#3 BFP 1st March
LittleMissSunshine33 TTC#1 Cycle#3 BFP 1st March
PosyFossilsShoes TTC#1 Cycle#3 BFP 2nd March

There are a few ladies who FX also should have got their BFPs over the weekend..... Let us know how your doing Thanks

PunkyPod · 03/03/2014 11:05

There's something a bit spooky about cycle #3 with the BFPs so far!

lindamagoo · 03/03/2014 11:11

Lol punky so there is Smile 3 is the magic number...

mama31 · 03/03/2014 11:12

Hi ladies thanks for all your lovely thoughts and well wishes.

GP has referred us on to the consultant now and she put that we'd been ttc for a year which is not technically true but she said there's a 5 month waiting list so best not waste any time. She said initially tests/scans/dye test will be done to check tubes clear and everything inside is working as it should. Then after that if still no joy, would be referred on for fertility treatment.

We discussed the spotting and she talked me through all my blood results and said they are completely normal and unnconected to the spotting. She said 21 days bloods should be between 1-80 and mine being 33 were perfectly normal. Also said spotting is not related to infertility and could just be from the cervix. (not convinced and will continue taking vitex)

I suppose it's good to be referred on for support though, but 5 months waiting list!!! Hoping I get my bfp before then obviously.

DH still waiting on sperm analysis, his gp works at a snails pace. Will be chasing that up as need to know that this is not the issue.

Have mixed emotions after my appointment, I do trust my gp though she is very good and has been my gp for a long time. I just hope she's right re the spotting.

Choccywoccydodah · 03/03/2014 11:17

Mama, sorry you've come out not with any proper answers, in my experience, GPs have been a waste of space!! They told me to do one thing and the specialist told me something else. Afterall, GPs refer you because they are not specialists in that field. And a 5 month wait???? Wtaf??
My specialist has given me pesseries due to my spotting, so I do think you should go back and insist they give them to you. They might not work, but it's another thing ruled out before you get your referral appointment.
Honestly, 5 months is a joke!!

OP posts:
lindamagoo · 03/03/2014 11:27

Wow 5 months waiting list mama, I hope you get your bfp before then. I'll keep my fx for you x

Spotti · 03/03/2014 11:28

Ooh, if cycle #3 is a lucky cycle then fx March might be my month!

Glad to hear the doctors are being helpful Mama, even though sometimes you do have to trust your gut instinct and ignore their medical degree (you know your body better than they do, and if you think the vitex is helping then sod the doctors and keep taking it!). Not liking the sound of a 5 month waiting list though! At least your GP is being helpful and encouraging you to get started sooner rather than later.

On a different note, I may have just google imaged "EWCM". Don't ever do it. It's gross. I mean, it's gross enough to see your own, but to see pictures of other women's EWCM is just weird! I did learn the difference between the types of CM though, so although it was a 'why did I just google that?' moment, it was at least educational :p

missmrsmummy · 03/03/2014 11:39

Hi all

Thank you for the well wishes. I went back to work this morning, just for 2 hours. I'm exhausted! It went ok but I'm a bit overwhelmed.

In other news, my brother (who lives in Aus) has just told me he'll be back in the UK for Christmas.

PLEASSSSSEEEE let me have a December baby! Literally praying all month now.
