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!

Hi somuch (waves)

Sorry to hear about your mc but nice to see you again, hoping you get your stuck bfp soon Thanks

spinningirl10 · 25/03/2014 19:40

Whoops, that should say sticky not stuck!! Grin

PolytheneGirl · 25/03/2014 21:35

Grrr if I have to see one more scan pic on Facebook I'm going to throw this bloody ipad out the bloody window!

I definitely have the green-eyed-monster in me today! Grrrr!

Treaclepie19 · 25/03/2014 21:36

Oh ladies :( feel free to ignore me as i have only come on for a moan.

We are having a horrible time atm... Mother in law is really ill, im struggling with work and not being pregnant yet is raising concerns with past gynae issues.

Sorry, id normally talk to my closest friend but she is 4 months pregnant and im finding it hard to share anything with her.

Hope everyone is ok.

JonesSchool · 25/03/2014 21:43

Treacle, it's good to moan, I'm a big moaner and you guys help me sooo much!
Big hugs to you xxx

MissMrsMummy · 25/03/2014 21:56

Hi everyone. Sorry some are feeling jealous/down. I feel the same. I was sent a video of my cousin's baby today. One of my students got a new baby sister yesterday. I have no cm despite taking yucky cough syrup and drinking grapefruit. I feel so stressed and so unlike DTD it's unreal. Don't want to start too early and run out of steam. Mehh ;-(

Semirural · 25/03/2014 22:34

So sometime only Nandos (I raised the average age by a good 10 years just by walking in) and a large glass of wine hits the spot. Despite not ttc last month, in my mind we are 'getting pregnant' so af was a surprise - shouldn't have been - daft really.

So by calculations (and a fancy app) I will be back in full dtd duties week beginning 7th (peak around 12th) with a bfp due 28th. I've not started to look at ovulation kits, so am not sure what smiley faces mean (assume peak fertility?) or cm etc - I need to do some homework.

I'm sorry to hear so many are having a tough time and hope we have a bumper crop of Christmas babies!

Semirural · 25/03/2014 22:40

Notta - I am constantly speechless at the number of enquiries I get about my baby making ability! My Dh gets no such enquiries, but my fertility seems to be fair game. Three times in the last three days I have been asked about the 'pitter patter of tiny feet' to the blatant, 'why do you not have children' - people mean well I suppose Hmm

Viperama · 25/03/2014 23:52

I want a dragon egg necklace!

So cd 7 today, just started gewurztraminer cough syrup today to loosen up that cervical mucus for cd14 which is when I traditionally ovulate. Sorry I'm bring silly, I know it's called something else that starts with a G but nice chilled white wine is so much nicer. I'm on my last of my week of wine today until I get AF again or fingers crossed for another 39 weeks. Please please please penis dragon bless us all on this thread.

Owlie84 · 26/03/2014 06:55

Snap Viper! I had some this morning - yum! not
I'm on a shake diet at the moment and am thoroughly depressed that all foods I like are not allowed! Nooo!!!
Sorry to hear others are pissed off at the moment too. We're trying/not trying this cycle so I have to step away from the OPKs!

KittyVonCatsington · 26/03/2014 06:56

Technically not officially on the April bus but just wanted to say high to SoMuchFruit-I remember you from before and glad you are feeling better and popping in again-I was very sorry to hear it when it happened and just wanted to say good luck for this cycle Grin

toots123 · 26/03/2014 07:38

Hi all

sorry everyone is feeling a bit down. Im the same and keep asking myself why im not pg yet. It sucks as we are totally ready and like poly keep seeing scan pics on Facebook!!!
keep telling myself our time will come!!

Will dtd tonight then symptom spot like mad for the next two-three weeks!!

Also off to the dentist tomorrow to get a tooth out so I will be feeling even more sorry for myself then

JonesSchool · 26/03/2014 07:53

I'm using the cough medicine but all I have is an exceptionally runny nose. I feel this mucus is coming from the wrong end!

cth1982 · 26/03/2014 08:49

jones that has made me spit coffee over my desk with laughter this morning!

PolytheneGirl · 26/03/2014 09:10

I'm so confused! I write that on here practically everyday I got me first flashing smiley yesterday and today I get a solid one! What the hell happened to my "4 best days to conceive" Clearblue?

Just to make things worse we didn't manage to dtd last night as DH was at work till midnight and even though I'd waited up for him, he came in in such a bad mood.

I'm not very optimistic for this cycle now Sad

Nordicmom · 26/03/2014 09:18

Hi ! Just poking my head in from the dwindling march board . Still officially on It (11 dpo and bfn) but expecting to join you guys any day now . I suppose my next BFP would then be due end of April . I'll give proper stats when AF shows ...might straddle the threads for a while . Ours is getting more quiet since only a few days left ...

Nordicmom · 26/03/2014 09:19

Poly for the last few months I haven't had any flashing on the cb but gone from a circle to the solid ...

Sparrowlegs248 · 26/03/2014 10:05

Morning all. Hi somuch sorry to see you here, in the nicest possible way. Good luck this time.

semirural my mum also snuck a baby names book into a bag of stuff she gave me yesterday. Thanks for that then.

Re. Ovulation tests. I had resisted so far until this cycle, but have given in in ligjt of my inability to get an appointment with the GP. I bought the CB digital, but not advanced. So the ones that give you a circle or a face, no flashy!

I started cd7 (although the leaflet advised 8 i felt that could be late given my short cycle)

Cd7 - circle
Cd8 - smiley!!
Cd9 - circle
Cd10 - circle

So, it seems i ovulate much earlier than average. My app suggests i ov on cd14!!!

Just been back through my 'tracking' and we have never dtd on cd 7 & 8! We've done 6 and 9 butnever 8. So far, this time we managed 6 & 8 so i hope thats enough.

poly i read the leaflet thoroughly last night, and it said it pinpoints my best two days. Once i get the smiley it says i should dtd in the next 48hrs. So if you get cracking today you should hopefully still catch it. :-) I guess the flashing smilies give you more of a warning.

I suddenly feel like i've not done enough! 2 days before smiley, then the day of the smiley. I guess i could have tried for last night too.

Anyway, i think its a good idea to try ov tests as i have been targeting a good 6 days too late.
