Fire breathing penis dragons get a 'Spring' in your spermies, warm us up and get us upduffed in March!

Another thread for a very chatty bus!!

Yes punky, i'm the same!! Its a mad scramble to my legs in the air as quick as possible once dh has...ahem.. deposited his swimmers!!

Punky, English, I use a softcup! Bit grim and there's no way DH will ever know .

Lie on my back for a bit, quick dash to the bathroom, lie on the floor, NUDP for a minute or so, then scoop those stray spermies back in with a softcup (positioned handily in advance of course).

Then I do the post-sex pee and I hardly notice any 'drippage'. I'm seriously considering keeping it up after we manage to conceive just because then I don't wake up after DTD with that dribbly feeling

(Positioned handily in the bathroom in advance)

I think positioning it anywhere else would be slightly counter-productive!

Wow you learn something new everyday! Am intrigued by these softcups! Thanks retro!

Well I was due AF today (or if I counted my days wrong then it might have been Saturday)...nothing yet. Either I'm having a longer cycle than I'm expecting OR I'm upduffed :-/ or my body is playing horrid tricks on me and is just making me stay in limbo for even longer (it's already been over 2 weeks since I think I iced, possibly around 20 dpo!)

Last month I had a 35 day cycle, but the one before that - the first 'real' one after stopping the pill in December - was a normal 28 days. Not sure which one is going to be my 'normal' cycle length hoping for 28 but which ever one it is, I hope my body makes it's mind up cos this limbo business is stressful/disheartening when it turns out to be nothing!

Will keep you posted if anything happens at this end!

Just out of curiosity, which dates had we not got expected BFPs for? I seem to remember the 16th was one of them... planning to fill one of the gaps if my BFP arrives a bit behind schedule

Hi Spotti,

Yep - the 16th is free for your BFP fx

Spotti.....it's so frustrating isn't it, waiting for af!!! Still no sign of mine!!

Eek Lucy how exciting! All the best for you sweetie you deserve it!

MrsB, not confident yet, so leave me off for the mo if you could.
Got another faint line this morning and feeling hopeful due to the pesseries and no spotting (MASSIVE GRIN FACE), but am still only 10dpo at the mo and want the lines to get darker.

Broody, how poo, bitch isn't here yet though!

Oh forgot to say, my lines are always lighter in the morning with fmu and darker in the afternoon. Anyone else ever had this? Very odd!

I was the same choccy - I got BFN's with FMU samples and BFP's with my afternoon samples

That's good to know writer
Just read online it's actually quite common!

Lucy, if you have a boy, I totally recommend Euan

Hi Ladies - so it looks like ovulation has occurred (am charting myself as well as trying out a online service which flashed to me today that I am now 4 dpo)

bit of a personal question though...have also been charting CM and although it has been waterish and clear and a little teeny bit stretchy I've not had EWCM - any of you ladies notice the same thing? I have read not everybody gets it but am just curious...

Cth - I get very little ewcm! Funnily enough I think I got more before TTC!! Typical! Everything seems to be working against me!

cth I don't really get it. It changes in consistency slightly and this cycle it was a tiny bit stretchy for the first time. It's always milky rather than clear as well. Worried I have no chance of a bfp as the swimmers will never get through it! Plus I'm convinced it's acidic :-(

English SAME! It was annoying how much I got before, now it have to simulate it artificially with lube! Grr.

phew - ok I won't begin to panic too much!

Is everyone on epo? To encourage eycm? I'm loving the fact after 3 months I'm starting to understand all this ttc coding! I've been taking it but haven't noticed any difference.

I feel pretty shit today, really light headed! Not sure how I'm going to muster any enthusiasm for dtd today but I'm cd14 and I've got loads of stabbing pains so I've got to somehow gather the energy. Dh thankfully has recovered and maybe trying to prove a point after last night! Eve both been pretty stressed over the wkd. It's tough running your own business sometimes. We were expecting a large amount of money in on Saturday from a very large external company. They are stalling and haven't paid. Nice timing bang on ovulation thanks!!! Don't need this stress, trying to think serene thoughts!

Haha yes Mrs doesn't the other company know it's ovulation time?! How inconsiderate of them!

What's epo?

Evening primrose oil!

Very inconsiderate indeed! I felt like screaming that down the phone this morning, but resisted the urge as they'll probably think I'm very very strange!!!! They think they might pay Thursday now, charming!!!

Hope they do Mrs or they won't know what's hit them.. A crazy TTC-lady who was deprived of DTD due to their inconsiderate late payment

I'm so frustrated all the time at the moment in my 2ww. I'm sure I'm not nice to be around! I hate everyone with babies (except those on here!) especially.

Oh evening primrose oil! It is in my WellWoman tablets. Phew! Just had to check in case I was missing out!

The good thing about everyone else's babies is that your own are always so much more lovely!

I really do think upping the dtd to daily is the key! I'm fairly committed this month, even if I am shattered and last night was particularly boring! But hey ho, best foot forward!

Just thought I really ought to go get my bloods done again! Oops! I wonder what my thyroid is up to!

Well worth a read, hilarious!!

Hello ladies just checking into say that if you pick up the free magazine in Boots 'bump, baby, birth' there's vouchers in the front and 1 is for £2 off balance activ fertility spray (lube) it makes it £10.99.

We used it since the beginning of the year and got a BFP on Saturday, Sunday and today not that I'm obsessed about testing or anything

Just checking in took me a while to wade through the posts to find you'd changed buses

In my 2ww (I hope) used ovulation strips this month. No positives but the line got lighter 3-5th March. Completely confused just wait and see I guess. Think might have got my dates wrong so going to try and hold off until Sunday before POAS

Oh forgot to say, my lines are always lighter in the morning with fmu and darker in the afternoon. Anyone else ever had this? Very odd

Me! I had this last cycle for the first few days. Pee was darker in the afternoon too. Obviously don't drink enough
