Another thread for a very chatty bus!!

Yes choccy for the FRER!
Hope the prof is happy too!

Don't be worried. Are you on Fertility Friend? They have a gallery of charts that other people have shared which is great for convincing yourself you're pregnant normal!

Is this your first cycle temping? How long since you've been off the pill, and how regular are your cycles anyway? It might be worth temping vaginally next cycle if you don't mind it. I find I trust them more because they're not affected by my mouth breathing!

No, don't worry Hazel! Lots of things can cause fluctuations. Just try to take it at the same time each day, before you get out of bed. A rubbish nights sleep can effect it, as can alcohol. Just keep at it and maybe try vaginally next cycle

First cycle of temping. I've been off the pill since end of November and trying since January. Cycles so far have been 31 days, 28 days and the last one was 34 days. Decided to temp and use OPKs this month. I'm just waiting for my special pee cups to be delivered. I've had my post this morning and they weren't with it so won't be able to PIAC until tomorrow at the earliest now

Hmm, I did drink a bit on Sunday but nothing yesterday so that might have had an effect I guess.

Not on FF but might join now

Morning all

Congratulations choccy really hope its a nice sticky bean for you.

Well Im CD10, and got my 3rd flashing smiley. Last month I had had my fixed smiley today. The second line doesnt seem to be getting darker either so not sure whats going on.

I guess we will carry on DTD this week and hope fixed smiley comes soon.

Oh and this morning in the work kitchen they had some random plastic disposable cups different to ones we usually have which are just the perfect shape for PIAC - so Ive taken 5 and stuck them in my handbag

Congrats Choccy

Can we officially place you on the list of BFPs?

I was kicked off the Feb bus quite early and joined this one so I'm not sure how lucky it was - but this bus is doing amazing. Its so lovely to see all you ladies get your BFPs.... There is hope!!!

MrBsMrsB Question for the day
What cough mixtures do you ladies use for increased ewcm?

MrsB - your question answered! I used venos. a spoonful morning and night...and that month i did it i got my bfp. Hope that positive story helps! It was pretty rank, a bit like licorice tasting, but i was desperate by then!!!!

Thanks Sazzle
I'm pretty much willing to eat/drink/consume anything that may help speed up my BFP

Also, I used to see grapefruit juice in the stores all the time and avoid it like it was the plague. Now that I actually require a few boxes, I cant seem to get any. There was none at my local Tescos (a large tesco at that!). Has anyone else used grapefruit juice t a success?

MrsB - Ive started with the grapefruit juice this month.I think that I started it maybe a day or too late but thought Id give it a go. I got mine in m&s as its the only supermarket type place near work. Since TTC I appear to have little or no EWCM annoyingly.

If I dont get my BFP next month Ill be trying the cough medicine - have made a note of the Venos.

Sazzle when do you start and stop taking venos? I'm only on cd5 so I'll have time to start won't i?

Yay for the FRER choccy lovely!!! What do you have to do now re treatment?? sorry I didnt see from before what they advised you x

Linda I started just after AF buggered off and stopped when I thought I had ov. The other thing I did I swear helped was to have a hot water bottle on my belly after ov to give that egg and nice snug place to set up camp! This is easy for me as I'm working from home, so no odd looks at work! Well, who knows really but this was what I did differently after 13 unsuccessful months so I guess it is all worth a go!

Yes linda I'd start now! And drink plenty of water with it too. x

MrsB wait til Friday, then feel free to add me
I used grapefruit juice for the other 3 cycles I fell, didn't this month and still fell so didn't matter in the end!

Lucy, thank you sweetie, have just got to continue pesseries until 12 weeks now If i get there I think I may actually have a panic attack when I have to come off them!

Mama, sorry I didn't see your posts! How are you my lovely. When are you next due to test? We miss you!!!! Xx

Thanks sazzle, think I'll give the venos and hot water bottle a go, anything that's a possible aid is worth a go x

7dpo and I am feeling 'twinges' low down in my abdomen. However, I have also spent the last four days coughing up my lungs so it's entirely possible I've pulled a muscle

Having my bacon butty then going to sit in a nice warm bath for a couple of hours bit to get that little imaginary egg nice and cosy!

Hoping my temp rise today was just cos of a crappy nights sleep and I'll have a lovely implantation dip tomorrow this cycle will be textbook!

Or should I just finish the conceive plus before trying the venos? Maybe wait til next month for the venos!

I have a cup!!!!!

Bloody DH just pointed out to me that I have a huge stock of plastic cups bit big but never mind at work so I've nabbed one! Yay!

So. Around what CD do I need to start using the OPKs? I'm on CD9...too early to do one tonight? Oh and is around 6pm an ok time to do it? I really don't want to do it at work and 6pm is usually the only time I can guarantee being home during the week.

How are you feeling Retro?

Yay Choccy that's great about your lines!

4doo here... [twiddles thumbs]

*dpo lol not doo!

Hazel are you using ics? I'd start now if I were you. I think any time between 10am and 7pm is ok

Any advice great fully received... I'm ameamic always have been so am on prescribed iron and I take spa tone as well. I have to start taking this 2 hrs after my thyroxine or the thyroxine won't be absorbed. Currently on 275mg thyroxine. So in addition I've been taking b vits, calcium, magnesium, evening primrose and "frolic"acid. As seperate vits. I'm a bit worried if I take any of the specific conception vits it will upset my iron as most have iron in them. I had bowel surgery last year so have to be really careful about what form of iron I take. I'm getting a tad confused with everything. Help!!!

Mrs that could have been writing that post! I take thyroxin, iron tablets and had a bowel op last year too, lol...

Mrs I once had a query similar to yours and rang the local chemist to check. He was very helpful. I have no idea - sounds very confusing!

Or ....should I just get the conception vits for dh? As currently he's not taking anything. I think he's quite willing now after we nearly got rumbled last night, to get this bfp ASAP!
