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 ???

Linda I think it's only normal if it's normal for you... (I am learning all my "symptoms" are just normal cycle things after 9 months of no bfp) but if you don't normally get it is a SYMPTOM

Not read from the top yet but just wanted to add my quota

Rawr!

Woo for May. Let's hope lots of BFP are coming our way!

spinning I use the kindara app and it's got af as tomorrow. I usually get 5 days of spotting before af but since coming off the pill it's went down to 2 days so I guess I'll know if af is coming Sat if I start spotting today

broody I defo don't usually get it, never really get ewcm either that's why I took the cough bottle, which did nothing for me last cycle but worked this cycle

welcome new ladies.....get your on......roar! welcome to the pissystick club lol.

well I was dog tired late afternoon and all evening and had an early night then was really grumpy this morning. Tummy feels like really bloated and that af on way.....hope not!

linda I've not been monitoring Lucas much at all until this month and I noticed it went creamy white and a lot more of it after ov. I couldn't say for definite if it is a SYMPTOM though

not decided whether to test on Sat - that will be 10dpo/CD23 of what I think is a 26 day cycle. have some piss sticks in the house but they are just Tesco own brand which aren't sensitive enough so i'd need to go and buy more. If BFN this month then I'll "invest" in some IC's I think.

rawr! welcome newbies. fx linda woke up this morning thinking id already poas.... still flashy smileys but lines a lot fainter than before must get up and go to work lol but so tired rawr! fx for everyone this month!

I've got my seat on the new bus!!!!! I'm peeling on my opk and DTD - roll on 2ww so I can poas!!

I'm only cd3! Long way before I'll even be peeing on opks sticks! Its getting exciting in here already with all the symptom spotting! I hope there will be people left at the end to be with me! Anyone else still on af?

Me Victoria! And it's pissing me right off - really heavy and painful, meh ?? I'm cd3 too - looks like we'll be on this bus til the end!

Hello newbies!! Very excited to see how many of us get off this bus with BFPs...

Linda I'm experiencing the same as you, tons of creamy Lucas, started at 4dpo and still like it now at 6dpo. I'm still very new to observing cycles as this is only my second ever, but it's not a normal amount for me! I have been drinking a big glass of grapefruit juice every morning for about a week - I'm wondering if that's got anything to do with it? I thought that would only affect the EWCM but I guess logically it could have an impact on all CM all month... Anyone else have any experience with this? X x

Lady flower - hello! Welcome! I hear ya on the post-pill cycles... All a bit yawn waiting around hey? I'm ttc1 on cycle 2 which has so far been 36 days long (last one, the first, was 98!!).

Gingerbread - we seem to have similar stats!! And AF due 9 may... Good luck

yes victoria me! ill be here right until the bitter end as with the April bus!

I'll probably be on this bus until the end as af is due in the next few days and then next af will be right at the end of May.

linda, I'm on CD 5, AF has just buggered off.

I'm trying to stay cool, calm and collected so I ov on time and have a 'normal' 26 day cycle. However, it could follow last months pattern and be 40

At least the temps seem to indicate no ov yet, so I'm not looking at a 16/17 dayer. Irregular cycles suck!

Throwing everything at it this month after getting our hopes up with April's false positive.

So far, temping and OPKing. Will be employing the NUDP technique and DTD every day for a week. We keep missing the crucial two days pre ov. I have told DH this is NOT happening this time! He was as gutted as me when AF arrived on Sunday, so he's more than willing to so whatever it takes!

Let Operation Knock Up Retro commence!

Retro I've got my fingers crossed for you this month

I'll be gutted if af shows up on time only because I'll be kicked off the bus at the start of the month, I don't wana be alone

Love the positive attitude Retro, fx for you this month

Linda, you'll have to stay around even if af arrives.

I've just poas and got a bfn, got loads of cm which I usually get before af arrives.....will continue to poas daily until she arrives though!!

You can still lurk Linda and post lots of George's ( ). We never kick fellow dragon lovers off the bus...only AF!

Rambini and MrsE - we are due our BFP round about the same time - fancy a synchro pee on the 23rd/24th?

My BFP is due a week before my 24th birthday and we've been making plans to either celebrate our BFP on my bday OR get spectacularly pissed if AF shows up...either way, I'm not going to sulk this month. I'm going to celebrate something at the end of the month even if it involves stuffing my face with cake before getting pissed, it's gonna happen!.

It would be lovely if May was our month...we could find out a week before my birthday and possibly conceive on OH's birthday (this weekend).

Come on big penis dragon in the sky. Bring me my BFP!

Just about to go and POA-OPK-S - hopefully that second line will be darker and will confirm these weird pains I'm feeling as OV pains...

Oh yeah I'll still lurk, and knowing me I'll still have 101 questions to ask that can only be answered by penis dragon lovers

That's a good attitude to have spotti!
I'm similar, am going on a weekend break to York just after my bfp is due, so if AF turns up instead I will be able to have some gorgeous fizz and lots of wine with my DH. Gotta look at the bright side!

Can I ask a bit of a TMI question... ?

Is anyone else struggling with dryness in the fanjo parts?

I've struggled with it for a while - I desperately want to DTD but poor old bits are fast asleep. Before TTC it wouldn't have mattered as used normal lube, but obviously can't now. Bought some preseed and used a bit last night but it was no way enough and I dried out really quickly.

I clearly need to use the right amount, but it does mean there is fuck all spontaneity with DTD and the dryness is really stressing me out.

How can we TTC if my fanjo has given up? Okay slight exaggeration - once we start it gets better. But it's worrying me.

Anyone else struggle? Hopefully the preseed will help but it's not really designed to use all the time - ie not during fertile phase?

Just looking for a bit of encouragement I guess.

Ive just read through this thread at my desk at work and some of your posts made me laugh out loud!! Getting very strange looks now and can't say why I'm laughing.
Well I could, but explaining "crotch watching" "cervival Lucas" and "dry fanjo" to my boss might be inappropriate.

Reporting in, af due sat, poas this morning, bfn but not surprised, I don't feel like we've been successful this month. If af turns up I have two tubs of pâté in the freezer ready to defrost and scoff so it could be worse

This is my fourth cycle, I think we managed it on our fifth go last time....

Spotti I'm more than happy to give synchronised peeing a try! Although it may be the immaculate conception this month and a miracle if I get that far

Brummiegirl, I've not used Preseed but Conceive Plus may be an option if you're not getting on with it?

Brummie I prefer conceive plus, and if it's a spontaneous shag just make sure it's at hand but there are things you can take and drink that boost cm, all I tried was a cough bottle and I've in no way been dry this cycle
