The May bus sets off for those who regularly check for their Cervical Lucas, take frolic acid, shout SYMPTOMS, throw out their BastardSticks but then buy more to piss on and just want to be upduffed!

[KittyVonCatsington]

Brand new shiny bus for the 1st May!

Old thread is here

KittyVonCatsington 33, TTC #1, Cycle 6 (early mc cycle 3), BFP ???

Certainly had to pull my jumper down as far as it would go, viperama .

AF like symptoms night before I'm expecting it: like my stomach is tightening (more so on the left side) Gah!

Thanks Linda xx

Oh yay, congratulations for the bfps! Delighted to see the pics of lines!

Also EW those disgusting phrases are good!

Hope the campaign to get the dragon back is successful!

Spinning I'm not doing reflexology, not doing much actually...have realised throwing money at it won't make it happen. fate and nature will take its course!!! I hope!!!

Kitty I'm good! How are you doing?

Hello all! Just thought I'd hop on briefly to congratulate all the Penis Dragon Graduates and wave to everyone else; there is loads of space on the A/N Dragon bus and we are keeping you all comfy seats!

I have everything crossed for all of you this month and look forward to sharing fun stories of morning sickness and tender boobs with you all in the not so distant future .

Oh - and great job on the dragon campaign, I bloody miss him!

I was thinking about you today, missmrs sorry the red bitch got you-consider yourself added and yay for getting two goes at May! Is the vitamin b6 helping your LP?

mama -wallowing in all things TTC but enjoying the witty banter along the way This will all be worth it when we get our sticky beans, it will !!!!

I know Kitty, I'm trying to take the not-obsessed approach but it doesn't work coz I'm always checking in on the banter on the buses...even though I'm not on them now! lol also check in on another thread for long timers! But generally this month is the first I've no idea what's happening, cycle start date or anything! I'm living life now....the baby will come I know it ;) and for you too lovely!

Hi Kitty thanks for thinking of me! Last cycle my LP was 12 days and this time 10 so I think it's doing something! I knew AF was coming (6 days of spotting!!! That's a new low!) but I kept thinking, just one more day, pleeease!

How are you doing?

I like your thinking Mam and my DH is the same. He hates these companies that cash in on vulnerable TTC-ers! I'm also trying not to try too much and tbh it has helped a bit. I didn't even cry when AF came today!

Temping was useful this cycle for me to confirm I had ov'd but it was all over the place after that!

Didn't use opks.

Used ConceivePlus lube once but it's so hard to tell how much you've 'applied' from those tubes... had another whizzing around on the bed experience!

Still having reflexology but that's also because I'm still suffering from stress.

Enjoy the bank hol everyone!

CD35. Was expecting AF when I went to the toilet as is always the case. Nothing. Too scared to POAS in case bfn and in which case, could be in for a long and wasted anovuluatory cycle-aaaaaaaah!

Think I'm out. 11dpo, cm has turned to the pre-AF browny colour I usually get. Can expect the bitch tomorrow or Wednesday. Temp is still up but again I expect that to drop tomorrow

FFS, I'm so sorry English- after your anovulatory cycles, you deserved some good luck. Keep an eye on it, just in case. If you aren't still hungover, enjoy a bank holiday before you go back to Amsterdam

Thanks Kitty! Really thought I could have cracked it this month. Oh well... Onwards and upwards. It WILL happen eventually!

Did another test this morning and much darker line! Whoop! Stats as follows

Age 41, ttc#2 (1st with dh), cycle 3, got bfp on 4th May (star wars day...may the 4th be with you!)...estimated due date 15th January 2015.

Came off pill in December 2014...irregular cycles. Started using clear blue digital ovulation monitor in cycle 2 and it worked for us in cycle 3. Ww didn't do anything out if the ordinary. I'm quite a healthy eater and quite fit so I'd say that's a factor. Also drink lots of vino! But now it makes my stomach churn
..yay!

Symtoms were mild pulling style cramps at 7 and 8 dpo....bit of nausea then too. Yesterday and today (11 & 12dpo) little stabbing cramps and feel very bloated and upset tummy this morning

Hope this helps y'all in some way and gives older ladies some hope too! You are a fabulous and funny bus-load so I'll be sticking around for a wee while to monitor progress!! Roar!

Sorry to hear af coming english...and there's me ranting on about my bfp

I GOT A PEAK, I GOT A PEAK, I GOT A PEAK! and definately DIDNT just do an 'i got my peak' celebratory dance in the kitchen then realised my neighbour was out washing his car staring at me like I am crazy
COME ON UTERUS YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Sorry rambini to be so clueless but what does that mean?

Whatever it is must be good, so yay!!

So I'm into my TWW now. What am I supposed to do now? Wait? How ridiculous.

Yay Mel

English your not out yet huni, might not be af spotting

Oh Kitty I hope that's not the case. Have you tried temping? That really helps as you can tell if you've ov'd. Fx there's a very good reason why AF isn't here yet! X

Sorry English

Brilliant Mel such great news!

Woohoo Rambini! Get busy

Haha sorry, in reality it just means I am a bit mental, but basically I have pcos and a family history of early menopause (mum and gran both 27). I am approaching 26 and was told by my dr that I am already perimenopausal and that she wasnt sure if I was ovulating every month as my bloods kept showing diff results. So I invested in a clearblue advanced fertility monitor to find out if I was actually ovulating or just getting my hopes up every month for nothing. And today I got a peak on the monitor which detects the luetenising hormone surge associated with ovulation. Which means I have ovulated this month and at least stand a fighting chance of a bfp! hope that makes a little more sense!

3 cheers for rambini's peak, Hip Hip...!!!!!!

Good point about temping MissMrs - a few days ago I ordered a BBT thermometer so hopefully turns up soon and will tell me if I am ovulating next cycle but not getting ovulation pains as usual.

I'm just so worried that since early mc, my body hasn't ovulated.

Reasons being: no positive opk, no sharp stabbing pains around CD18-CD19 as before (although did get "tightening" on CD 17) and no progesterone nausea like I did before (back when I thought throwing up at 3-5 dpo meant I was pregnant, doh!) and really very few SYMPTOMS.

Just a waiting game now.

Chaircat - fancy playing something like scrabble to pass the time away

Congratulations on the bfp mel and peak opk rambini!

Horray! !!! lol. go rambini! your not out yet english and wahoo for mel.
im in middle of tww and half the time im convinced im pregnant and the other half that I cant be..... im going crazy here. I have loads of early pregnancy symptoms but ive had them before apart from sore boobs and it was a phantom pregnancy so tryimg not to think this month. only 7 more days of crazy till I know RAWR!!!!

chaircat - I'll join you love. Eye spy? I'm resorted to cleaning the house like a mad woman in the vague hope I stop thinking about it! haha! what a loser I am. Friends will be over soon to head to the park with their rabble. not sure if that's going to take my mind off it or not.

Good job I've got an easy week this week at work. 2 days in & best mate is getting married on Friday so I'm off Thursday to help. Love a wedding Me!

Happy Bank holiday you wondrous lot!

sorry Mel! well done you! what ace news on a particularly lovely sunny day
