The long awaited April bus for those penis-dragon-worshipping, green pom pom waving, non symptom spotting ladies who will get their BFP this month!

Morning all!! Finally got a solid smiley!!! We shall dtd tonight and maybe again on Wednesday to make sure we catch it! We haven't dtd since Friday so we better get a move on!

ItsChristmaass · 24/03/2014 06:40

Thanks Linda & spinning. Victoria let's hope it's our time! Well let's hope it's everyone's time! Grin

Treaclepie19 · 24/03/2014 07:01

Thanks Zermatt, think I will try it if no luck this month :)

lindamagoo · 24/03/2014 07:14

Christmas do you mind me asking what happens next if this round of clomid doesn't work? (But it will Smile)

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/03/2014 08:38

Morning all. So I started the clearblue digital ov tests. Decided to start cd 7 as i have a short cycle, that was yesterday and i got a blank circle. Cd 8 today, got up late poas and started to get ready. Checked stick. Smiley face!! Ffs. No time to dtd this am so will be straight on it sniggr after work. The app has me as ovulating NEXT WEEKEND!! I know its just an average guess but i guess this migjt be why i am on cycle 11.....

We dtd saturday and would normally sunday too but not this week. Grr.

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/03/2014 09:02

Just read back Viper i think every other day is fine. Twice a day is mental!! DH wouldn't be able to deliver twice a day at his age so would be pointless for us.

zermatt i too will be trying to give up the booze. I haven't so far and am glad as its taking so long. But i do need to cut down more than i have so far.

Good effort linda and good luck!

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/03/2014 09:07

I have a question - how long should i keep poas for once i've got the smiley face? Should i do it the whole ten days being as its my first go?

PolytheneGirl · 24/03/2014 09:14

Did you get solid smiley without a flashy one notta ? I'm getting royally frustrated with these stupid things! Cd12 and nada!

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/03/2014 09:20

I've just got the standard ones poly the ones that don't flash. I thought they would be simpler. Vut no warnng, cd 8 and wham!!! Smiley!

PolytheneGirl · 24/03/2014 09:23

I can't understand it. I have very regular cycles and last month I got my dark positive on my ic at cd13 so I was sure I'd have a flashy one by now! I feel like throwing them all away and giving up today! Might poa-ic later.

No idea how long you should test for. Maybe until is goes back to negative?

cth1982 · 24/03/2014 09:33

Morning Ladies,

I got kicked off the March bus on Saturday as AF came so am hopping over to here.

Stats TTC #1 Cycle 4 BFP Due 29 April

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/03/2014 09:41

Yes thats what i thought poly but i might carry on this time just to make sure i get no more smilies.....

Sounds like you should have had something by now. Have you used that type before?

Hello cth and welcome. Sorry you got kicked off.

bellaboo88 · 24/03/2014 09:45

This cycle whilst not TTC, I'm monitoring still & normally ov on cd19. Last night on cd15 I got ewcm but opks don't even have a line yet let alone a dark line.

I'm thinking ewcm is a big fat liar & this is why I'm not upduffed!

First month opking.

Xx

PolytheneGirl · 24/03/2014 09:50

No Notta it's my first time with the cb. I'm definitely sceptical.

Bella last cycle I got ewcm on cd10 and no other day but my OPKs suggest I ov'd on cd 14. All very confusing!

cth1982 · 24/03/2014 11:37

thanks Notta actually am a little bit pleased with AF - I know that sounds a bit strange! I have PCOS and was really worried about cycles etc. but have been monitoring the last few months since coming off the pill and it looks like my cycle is doing exactly what it needs to when it should!

I have longish cycles (around 37 days) but it is all steps in the right direction now for BFP! Maybe an extra special Christmas gift? :)

SurreyBunny · 24/03/2014 12:12

Afternoon!

Can I please come on board? I was kicked off the last bus some time ago but I've been feeling a bit rubbish about it all so am only jumping on now I'm in the 2WW!

I've tried everything I can - now we are tired and glad I can obsess over every twinge! Although last month I would have put money on it being our month which is why I was gutted when AF turned up.

Anyway

SurreyBunny TTC #2 Cycle 3 BFP 6th April EDD 14th Dec Grin

Good Luck everyone x

CallingAllEngels · 24/03/2014 13:04

Afternoon all, mind if I jump on? AF showed up at the weekend

CallAllEngels ttc#2 cycle 2 post mc (ttc since July 2013) BFP due 20th April

DH made some noises about avoiding a Christmas baby a few months ago but a)he won't remember and b) I don't mind - my birthday is a week after Christmas, it's not that bad and c) I wish I was fertile enough to pick and choose when I got pg!

Spotti · 24/03/2014 13:15

LOVING that everybody's new stats include EDDs Grin!

waves to the new passengers< Kind of sorry to see you guys here, but at least you're in a nice place. These buses are a good laugh.

Looks like I'm going to have to turn the old laptop on and get up to date with the stats list...anyone else find it weird going back to typing with buttons after using a touchscreen phone/tablet? My fingers still know where all the letters etc are, but finding symbols or numbers is still a bit odd! (I had to actually search the keyboard for the symbol last time I wrote something on here and wanted to make it go in italics^ ...who knew it was above the number 6?!). Will try to get a new list together later on today.

lindamagoo · 24/03/2014 13:44

lol Spotti, I've got a job interview on Fri and it's with computers, I've not been near a keyboard for years so it could all go pear shaped, lol Grin

Welcome to all the newbies and good luck to you all Smile

I've decided since I don't know if I ov'd on Thu like I thought or if the cm yesterday meant it was late that I'm just going with Thu, that way implantation would be sooner and I can crazy symptom spot sooner SmileSmileSmile

Hi Ladies, can I hop on too please?

My DS (nearly 5) has recently been telling me he's going to have a baby brother when he is 6, so might have a few months to wait for a BFP if he's right, and as my cycle has been unpredictable since a miscarriage in January, DS might be on to something. DP and I thought we'd give it a crack anyway and see what happens.

PickleMyster ttc #2 cycle 1 (post MC) BFP 18 April (EDD 25 December - gulp)

kurama · 24/03/2014 16:30
