Welcome aboard ladies!
Get your pom poms in the air, as well as your ass (post dtd!) and we might get somewhere!
Here's to some BFPs! Wine

Well mine wasn't so quick! We've been trying since end of August and I thought it would never happen (a bit over the top I know but as I said I'm not a patient person!) so keep going everyone and you'll get there in the end x

PosyFossilsShoes · 03/03/2014 16:38

Fab news Lorelie :)

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 03/03/2014 16:40

Hi kitty my huge bfp is due on the 29th!!! Fx fx fx fxxxxxxxx!!! Can't wait to dtd's needed!

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 03/03/2014 16:43

Congrats to all the BFP's this month! Wowwie let's hope we get one or more BFP's every day :)

missmrsmummy · 03/03/2014 16:47

Yep, we are on 5/31 and it's only day 3! If we continue at this rate we'll get about 50! Are there even that many of us on the bus?! Maybe some twins on their way!

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 03/03/2014 16:51

If I get a positive on my clear blue ov stick does that mean my af would be due 14 days after that?

PosyFossilsShoes · 03/03/2014 16:51

Don't, I would not-so-secretly love twins (they run in the family) and DP goes pale every time I mention it.

lindamagoo · 03/03/2014 16:56

Oh my too posy, my oh's brother and sister are twins and she has 20 month old identical twin boys, so damn cute...

lindamagoo · 03/03/2014 16:57

Me too even

missmrsmummy · 03/03/2014 17:01

Aw! Hope we get some twins! Feeling excited about this bus!

Emily that's approximately correct, yes. The time between ov and AF is called the luteal phase and is on average 10-14 days long.

Choccywoccydodah · 03/03/2014 17:01

Massive congratulations Lorelei!!!!
This bus is well on it's way now!!
I fell with ds on cycle 3, also my first mc was cycle 3.

I'm on cycle 6, which is a multiple of 3......... Wink

Nordic so sorry sweetie you are feeling so down. Massive hugs to you xx

My friend had identical twin boys in December. I would have loved twins for my first pregnancy, not so sure about this one with a toddler running around too!
They are absolutely exhausted, but it will be so worth it when they're a bit older Smile

missmrsmummy, believe it or not, I've got 80+ ladies on the BFP roll call..... EIGHTY! Hence why I'm not posting the stats everyday.

Since 3 is our lucky number - maybe we'll get some triplets on this bus too!! Never say Never, my sister naturally conceived triplets after an MC. Anything is possible.

Posy, me and you both. I would love twins, a mini me and a mini DH.
MrBsMrsBandTwinnieBs Grin

If everyone is OK with it, I'll post updated stats on March 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, and 31st

spinningirl10 · 03/03/2014 17:15

oooh Congratulations Lorelie Smile

Nordic...I'm sorry you're feeling down, it must be so hard deciding what to do, look after yourself Thanks

missmrsmummy · 03/03/2014 17:35

Wow MrsB you have your work cut out! Hadn't realised there were so many of us! Looking forward to updates Smile

Starbright24 · 03/03/2014 17:39

Yay Lorelie. Congratulations on bfp :)

My stats aren't quite right. Bfp on 9th march and although been ttc since last april, only got seriously into it since jan which makes this one the lucky number - cycle 3 :)

EnglishGirlAbroad · 03/03/2014 17:43

Emily- you ovulate 12-36hrs after a positive OPK. Then AF would be due approx 14 days after that.

My dad's a twin, so there's a good chance either me or one of my cousins will have them! Hope it's me!!! Smile

My reflexology was loooovvvely!! Thankfully she found nothing untoward in the reproductive areas, she said it felt maybe a little fragile but that's more than likely due to healing from the mc. If anything it's a positive just for the 90mins of relaxation!! Smile

missmrsmummy · 03/03/2014 17:45

90mins - how lovely English!

missmrsmummy · 03/03/2014 17:46

Ps glad all seems ok for you Smile

RetroHippy · 03/03/2014 17:50

Afternoon all! More BFPs?! Haven't checked the thread today, but congrats you ladies!

Can I take a moment to lower the tone and bring up the subject of cervical mucus please? I found this which is very informative (and I'm pleased to not my cervix being high is a Good Thing). However. In the photos of different types of cm there seems to be an excessive amount. I am now worried that mine is so meagre no sperm will get through however determined.

I'm knocking back Benylin like it's going out of fashion, and it does seem to be having a positive effect, but nowhere near that much of an effect!

Starbright24 · 03/03/2014 17:54

I just ordered some preseed Retro as I also got worried about the little swimmers not having anything to swim in. Will try it out next cycle if no bfp.

How much cough mixture do you think is needed as some accidentally fell into my shopping trolley hut I haven't had any yet.

KittyVonCatsington · 03/03/2014 17:56

Hey Snowbells-last cycle, I didn't ovulate till CD19 and did get to the fertilisation stage so don't give up hope-keep using the monitor (maybe twice a day as I got my CB Digi smiley face at 4pm)

missmrs was thinking about you this morning! Remember, one day at a time. What situations made you feel overwhelmed? Can we help Grin

Another BFP! So happy! Well done Lorelei!!!

Retrohave you considers balance Activ, preseed or conceive plus to help with the CM? I used Balance Activ last month and it really helped with the DTD marathon Wink

lindamagoo · 03/03/2014 17:57

Retro I use conceive plus to make sure the little swimmers have a better chance of reaching their destination Smile

RetroHippy · 03/03/2014 17:58

Haha at it 'accidentally' falling in! I did actually really just happen to have mine in the cupboard!

I'm taking two teaspoons three times a day with a glass if water as apparently it's needed to water down the mucus. Which makes sense but is resulting in my needing to pee a lot.

Think the key is to get one with guafenesin in but nothing else if you can. Mine has levomenthol but I don't think that has any particular drying effects!

KittyVonCatsington · 03/03/2014 17:58

Sorry Starbright I went by the post where you said you had been off BC since April so I guessed. I'll update now.
