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!

English when I was younger I was put on the pill for 2 months to help me and I hadn't had af for months so i just started on a random day and it kicked started everything for me.

Spinning af is due tomorrow but I always get spotting for a few days before and so far nothing

I think i might give it a few more days, see what my temps do and then maybe just start a packet on monday. Don't really want to give up a cycle but if i'm not ovulating I have no chance anyway! I just wish I knew that 1 cycle on the pill might help back when I had the mc.
Thanks for your support though ladies

hi blueberry and tilly I'm also 29th so have a long old wait left!

Morning All,

How many days has this cycle been English?

I'm still waiting, lost track of how many days now. Was on the March bus with BFP due 12th March which was CD38

Been looking back at an old diary and my cycles before contraception were 6 to 8 weeks, so guess not all that unexpected

Keeping my fingers crossed that I read the cervix signals right at the end of March. Holding out testing till the 12th if I can.

Come on BFP, if not where the hell is AF so we can start opk ing.

Worked it out CD60 today.

How many other ladies? There were a few with long cycles on the March bus.

Pain is can't use any of the prediction charts as they stop at CD50, my opk's lovingly say if your cycle days are longer than 40 see a Dr

Have you seen the dr Fingers? It could be that with long cycles like that you're not ovulating either. I'm on cd 43. This is unusual for me.

well didnt poas this morn. mainly coz I havnt got any cb digis! pain on left side is deffo back and im confused as hell. roll on 13th

No English haven't seen a doctor CD42 Has always been a normal cycle for me

Considered going when I went from August to Christmas without AF making an appearance but then when she appeared at CD38 in February I got all hopeful.

Got my fingers crossed that your advise on reading cervix caught ovulation and my BFP arrives in just over a week. Don't want to be sent away by the Dr however DD just turned 4, really didn't want such a big gap. My friend told me yesterday she's due at end of August

BFN this morning. It didn't even think about it.

To add to this, it resulted in me and DP falling out and as usual, him saying if that's how you feel Guilt, let's break up/not have another baby. This is his reaction every time I mention something I'm unhappy with. Am I right in thinking this is rather manipulative? Every time we argue he gives me an ultimatum and refuses to work on things. His suggestion is to forget and move on instead (let things fester and bring them up next time we argue so it's really just temporary forgetting)

He's a great Dad and a lovely man when things are good. No one would EVER guess he could be like this. But when things don't go his way he is both unreasonable and impossible to reason with. It's like arguing with a 10 year old.

So I will mainly be consuming the caffeine and Ibuprofen tablets (bad back) that I have been avoiding all week and I shall then make my way to this hen do at the weekend and drink my weight in wine in a man-free environment.

Sorry to moan to people with bigger problems.

Guilt that's just as valid a problem as any other. I'm sorry you fell out. Dh and I argued like that for a bit. What it meant was it's just impossibly hard and we didn't know how to get through it or what to do to make it better.

Now if it's said on either side the other one says something silly and it becomes a joke. A few months back I had the most awful pmt and sent dh away "forever" he drove off for 5 minutes and came back saying he had no where to go could he please come home as he didn't understand divorce any way. I agreed he could if he got me chocolate.

Ttc is very stressful added to the usual stresses. Perhaps discuss it when it's calmer about his reaction to an argument.

Thank you MrsExtra I'm glad to hear you managed to turn it around.

It's just very hard to get through to someone who talks over me, changes topic and whose only response is blame, i.e. 'no, you're that one that did X' 'No you caused this argument as usual' on repeat.

Last night he started having a go at me for something I hadn't yet done. Now this is a new one.

He was getting cross because I was going to drag the argument on all night, apparently. When I said he couldn't have a go at me for something that hadn't happened he said yes he could, because that always happens . And finally, I should apologise for getting annoyed at him for something he had actually done. I am not ever allowed to be annoyed.

I never ever moan about or share my relationship problems. This board does things to me :)

Guilt I think it does things to all of us. Isn't it good to have such good company

Of course you know what he's doing is wrong, which is good. Do you think it's his way of showing disappointment, to blame instead of take responsibility and look ahead. I think it's called deferred blame of something clever?

I would say that my tolerance level for dhs annoyances is very low pre af. I am overly sensitive about everything he says. He's very brash, so it's hard. Could there be a dose of that in there too. Not that your wrong at all. I'm an over thinker. It drives me nuts!

I hope you find a way forward today and a hen night sounds like a v good tonic to take your mind off everything.

I feel like a bad statistic following the bus around

AF due on the 3rd and it arrived literally as the clock struck midnight ok, it was about 11.30pm on the 2nd but pretty close to what was expected

My 2014 baby is out the window and I literally cried myself to sleep. I'm actually tearing up writing this. I don't really know what to do with myself. I'm still on this bus though...

MrBsMrsB TTC#1 Cycle 5 BFP Due 28th April

MrBs, I'm sorry, I think it hits us all some months worse than others. If you're a bad statistic so am I, only a month behind you. It really is still early days to be panicking. The chances are it probably will happen. There's lots of things to try. Don't despair yet, we will keep you company. (Is this a chocolate button )

Sorry MrsB

Nothing much I can say except we feel for you x

Morning all.

MrBsMrs I completely understand. When AF hit and I realised a 2014 baby was over on Sunday I cried. and that I'd be another year older too (and I'm no spring chicken to start with!). It's hard.

DH went for his tests yesterday and I have appointments for my bloods and scan. Our GPs have been fab but I honestly didn't think we'd be having to do all this!! trying to stay positive and maybe just maybe through some weird luck I will get my BFP this month.

MrsExtra No, you're right. There are 2 sides to every story and then there's the truth. I am an over-thinker and should probably just ignore his nonsense.

It just angers me that he thinks it's OK to use emotional blackmail for the sake of 'winning'. I also find it upsetting that he won't fight for things to work.

Do you think it's his way of showing disappointment, to blame instead of take responsibility and look ahead -interesting point. I love psychology because I'm very boring.

Guilt I'm always interested in what makes people tick, but sometimes I need to listen to dh and just shut up and stop thinking about a convo that was had 2 weeks ago where I've analysed my response to death and my reaction to it.

I think it can mostly be summed up in one word " men" they just don't seem to tick the same way. Does make it hard sometimes but not impossible.

I'm sure there will be a way forward but you might need to be the one who guides him there.

Aw Guilt I'm sorry you are having a rough time. Doesn't sound very fair that he's treating you this way. Hopefully he will calm down

We need a new bus but I'm useless and don't know how to do it

Thanks Guilt, MrsE, genni

I don't mean to insinuate that a certain number of cycles is a bad statistic. I'm probably being over emotional. I feel like total s**t and almost like the world & mother nature are against me.

I'm just going to have to continue being patient. 2015 baby please!!!!
Sorry for the negativity.

Have you guys made a new bus? If so, where is it? Don't leave without me! (If not, shall I start one?)

So sorry some of you are having a rough time 2015 will be a fab year for babies too xx

I never realised how much of a rollercoaster this would be. I had excitement for about....ooooh 5 minutes...before BAM! Worry set in. Still totally convinced AF will arrive tomorrow, despite another, stronger positive this morning.

I've called my GP surgery and spoke to a lovely receptionist. It's straight to midwife here so I should see her around 8-9 weeks so at the start of next month. She then said congratulations and I got a bit teary.

Going to buy a digi and an FRER today. It might sink in a bit if I use "proper" tests.

Got my pom poms out for you all x

Oh and QUICK - SOMEONE MAKE A NEW THREAD AND LINK IT HERE!!

New board!

I'm sorry, and kick me out of the bus if you like, but I need to say something.....

I know ttc is not the easy journey we all expected, but some of us on here are finding it harder than others. The ladies ttc for less than 6 months are being quite insensitive to us that have been around longer. All this talk of cycle 4/5 when is it going to happen panic is actually upsetting to me. Ive been ttc 17 months this cycle and I'm giving myself permission to start panicking now. But I know there is still time. It can take 12-24 months for normal healthy couples to conceive.
