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!

Brand new shiny bus for the 1st May!

Old thread is here

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

Waffley yes the opks are ok to use ideally between 10am-7pm. I have found it best to do 2 or 3 a day though because it's easy to miss the peak - it can be quite sudden!

I know Kurama I've written off this month I think, we'll see if the witch appears Next week!

grrrr... sitting here at approx 7dpo with incredibly tender achy boobs and wanting to shout SYMPTOM and, I must confess, prodding them repeatedly occasionally to check, which isn't really helping matters. (Luckily I am working from home not in the office!)

But it has just dawned on me that this could just as easily be a warning that AF is imminent. Really hoping that my cycles have gone back to normal, and not having another ridiculously short one.

i think i have as well mac even though some symptoms are different to normal im still just waitig for af sun/mon

thoroughly pissed off at my body!! Day 3 of brown spotting, 14dpo, bfn. Please do not say that this spotting is a 'period'! If it is I am very concerned that my lining is far too inadequate to ever support a baby

hi all. Sorry to read some of you are in limbo or feeling like AF is approaching. its such an emotional roller coaster. doesn't help that so many symptoms are also AF symptoms.

I am still struggling with the bastardsticks that are clear blue opks. They just don't seem to be able to show anything on me. I've had awful pains which feel like ov pains and am bloated (which again happens to me normally around ov) but still nothing on the wretched sticks. Going to keep dtd regardless but I want to know when we can stop and have a rest!! I swear I'm thinking of temping in future or just using cheap opks.

I've just come back from lunch with my old team and FOUR of them are pregnant. i will admit i was a mixture of and .

English did your temp show ov this cycle? If so when? You must be so frustrated

Hey Linda, yep temp definitely showed it this month. I'm now 14dpo! Just when I think my body is playing game it throws another curve ball my way!! So frustrating!!

How bloody annoying English. How long is your LP normally? When do you move back home now?

Im only on 6th month of trying tested today and got a BFN not due AF till 16TH though want that BFP so bad :(

Expected af yesterday, normally have a 12/13 day lp. Move back next friday. Got a drs appointment for the following monday. Will hopefully start getting some investigations going. I'm utterly fed up of not knowing where I stand with my cycles!

Donyou all find temping helpful? Might start it in July. On holiday next month so wont be tracking ovulation at all :)

Any tips for when I give it a go?

Could the brown spotting be IB? What tests are you using? I hope they get things looked into quickly for you so you can find out what's going on

I find temping really useful Toots. It's shown that there's been month when i haven't ovulated. I've also printed all my charts so I can give the drs as much info as possible.

I doubt it Linda, although it's mostly been brown there has been some red, although not much. Not much is actually making its way out- had a liner on all day and nothing - just when I have a poke around as I do!!
I used an ic, which I did just dig it out, there's a very faint evap. DH thinks i've lost the plot! If nothing more arrives I'll try again on saturday.

Oh English how frustrating!! Hopefully when you get back to the UK your doc will be able to help you.

Toots, you need a basal body temp thermometer (it measures to 2 decimal places), take it before you get out of bed, same time every day, after at least 4 hours sleep. Track on fertility friend. Temps will stay low til ovulation then spike and should stay up until af. Fertility friend confirms ovulation after 3 consecutive higher temps. Hope that helps.

Hope so Spinning! Sick and tired of it if i'm honest!

Yeah wait til Saturday English, my ic just had the faintest of lines on 13 dpo, not much better on 14 dpo and yesterday it finally looked proper positive at 19 dpo

Thanks english! If I do it I'll be on cycle 7 in July so thats probably a good time for me to start if no bfp.
Af due next week. Come on little bean!!

Hi all! I might try temping next cycle. OPKs don't seem to give me consistent results! Is temping more reliable?

Well I'm cd22.... I will NOT poas until af is due on 14th May!

No SYMPTOMS at all... af or pg. Usually get cramping the week before af.... could that be a SYMPTOM?

Evening all

Rambini, very similar stats indeed! We can be poas buddies if you're game.

Getting a faint line which has been getting gradually stronger on the opk cheapies, gearing up for a positive in the next few days hopefully!

Yay sounds good cress how long do you think you will manage to hold off and resist temptation?

Hey hoping onto this nice new shiny bus. TTC #2 cycle 2 BFP due 15th

Anyone notice they've given us a ? Why would we need a bike? Give us back the mumsnet! Please!!

Hi RachieS

At this point in the cycle, I can say I'm going to hold off on testing unless AF is late, but once in the two week week I feel like the poas beast is unleashed. I managed to wait until the day af was due to test as testing early in previous cycle just made me feel rubbish. I'm trying to have a bit more of a plan this month so I think by the time tww comes around I'm going to be too impatient to see whether its worked!

What about you Rambini?
