Come one, come all: hop onboard the penis dragon bus and hold on tight for your BFP in April!

[Spotti]

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!

I have to MrsE, that last gp was out of order just making decisions for me like that and not talking to me about it. I'll still go to the gynae app on the 28th to see what they say but I'm complaining about that new gp

It's such a huge decision linda, I find it shocking that if you'd not done your research you could have had the op without question. Definitely worth complaining.

I'm glad you've found it's not a risk to get pg. Don't put those green sheets away just yet .

Retro I'm so gullible I would have went ahead with the op thinking it NEEDED to be done, it was my oh that started questioning things, thank god for him

Think he's got the pom poms out, lol

Haha, I'm never showing him those tattoos, he's got enough without getting that done and besides i'd just giggle every time I looked at it

If I knew it'd do the job I'd have DH booked in tomorrow

Retro he said he'd rather get this done but I said it would be false advertising, lol

I'm just back from my run and I didn't die! Woohoo!!!! This time last year I never thought I'd walk again let alone be running

Well done MrsE, it's a good feeling isn't it?

I know it's only a small step, but I feel a bit better to be taking control. I'm not overweight at all, but I am unfit. It's got to help ttc.

And it does, I said before it was only when I lost weight and got fit that af regulated and I got my bfp

lol Linda at that tattoo!! I'm so pleased you're getting a second opinion.

MrsE well done on the run, great way to clear your mind and get fit.

I'm so lucky to live in the harbour, it's all pedestrianised along the seafront, it was a beautiful evening and I feel really positive. I will get my bfp! And if not I will fit in my skinny size 6 jeans once again! Lol

I'm going to try to convince dd to join me. She's at her dads this wkd, but think it will do her sime good too. She's really suffering with heavy af, poor love. I'm hoping she doesn't end up with endo like me and all her aunts with endo and pcos.

Well done Linda for sticking up for yourself and what is important to you with the GP. Sometimes these people need their heads pulling out of their own arses!

MrsE you're inspiring me to go for a run, unfortunately I don't have a harbour for scenery! So jealous

Well I'm back from my friend's baby's birthday party which was full of beautiful babies and the inevitable "so when are you havering another one?"s. This resulted in a glass or two of wine but I am now feeling quite relaxed. I just think it's a bit of a personal question to ask someone you hardly know. I promise I'm never going to ask anyone, ever!

How are the poorly mums/mils?

my mums feeling a bit better poly but she still hasnt had the scan they said she needs. so she will be in hosp till mon prob. im feeling positive at mo, hoping to get peek fertility tomoro. helps that i had a great day at work today its mine and dhs day off tomoro so will be getting busy before going up to see mum. how is everyone else doing today???

Oh I need to get out running too - signed up for a mountain festival 10k in May so must do some training.
10 DPO today I think and have felt slightly sick all day. Trying so hard to tell myself not to poas tomorrow, it's too early!!

oh and so glad ur feeling positive and got a second opinion linda :)

Evening everyone, hope you're all ok.

We are on day 4 of dtd and the last 2 times I have felt pain inside me on the right hand side. It's like bruising inside. Now I still have the pain several hours later and it's in my lower back also on the right. Does this happen to anyone? I'm thinking either urine/kidney infection or endo (I was suspected to have it 10 years ago but never had investigations)?

Thanks for asking poly :) MIL has had an operation today, double bypass to sort out a blockage in her stomach and colon. Hopefully then she will be back on track for chemo.

Fingers crossed!
Glad your mum is a little better kurama :)

Missmrs, can't really help with the pain... Is it different to vaginismus?

Suffering terribly myself with it... Finfing pillow under bum helps. Sorry tmi... :p

What are people's thoughts on dtd twice a day? Would you think it would increase chances or decrease amount of sperm produced? Got positive on OPK today, dtd this morning and if I can persuade DH will try again tonight, tomorrow morning and tomorrow night :) worried it's better to go just once each day over next 3 days?

Ladies who opk...

I'm really confused!!

I think I've missed my positive, they started to go super faint :-(

Wed - faint, Thurs - faint, Fri - super faint :-\

Is it possible to completely miss it? Xx

Morning all. I've been awol for a couple days so not caught up. Went out with my sister friday night and drank too much. We both seemed to go from merry to plastered in a few minutes! Spent most of yesterday in bed.

I know people say this all the time but i know i need to cut back on the wine. I drink too much in general. So there. I'm aiming for a virtually wine free April.

zermatt re dtd daily. We kind of did this last minth - one morning, the same night then the next morning but by the third go dh couldn't finish! So may be counter productive.

Sounds like a nasty hangover notta, I'm trying a booze free month this month, it can be quite hard, I found this Friday particularly tricky (that was just a week as well!) but keep telling myself to stick with it.

Thanks for the advice re dtd, I was trying SMEP this month, so dtd on cd8, cd10 and then first thing this morning on cd12, got up did an opk and got a positive which has thrown me as I wasn't expecting that until cd14, so worried I missed the boat by not doing it yesterday as well. Have decided to allow DH's little swimmers to have a chance to recover (not to mention DH) and may just try tomorrow morning as well and day after, then skip a day and try again.
