I've seen them in Boots Spinning. Both times i've caught I did Smep to the letter.....maybe that's the ticket. Of course i've also had a fair few annov cycles so wouldn't have fallen then anyway!

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 10:17

Thanks English, huge boots here so will try and sneak in there without dp, don't think he needs to know about everything!!

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 10:18

Welcome mustbedue, good luck Grin

macmissy · 12/05/2014 10:22

Morning all!

I am back from a pretty lovely weekend & will catch up with posts in a little (I feel I am going to need a brew as there seems to be TONS!)

AF arrived yesterday for me, grrr what a witch she is but I am all set for getting DTD later on in the month & will keep my fingers crossed & prepared for the June bus

Now.. where do I start with you all?

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 10:38

Yay I have softcups....gonna get that egg this timeGrin

ChandlersFarang · 12/05/2014 10:39

English I'm so pleased for u!! Zwanger hey?! Love that!! Compelling/motivational stats for us all to have a thorough DTD fest this month.

Fx for darker lines SoMuch! Smile

macmissy · 12/05/2014 10:48

Congratulations English & Ginger. Such good news!

Stepawayfromthezebras · 12/05/2014 10:49

It's lovely to see more BFP's! :)

This thread is going to bankrupt me! I've already invested in a CB digital OPK tester with 20 sticks and have been knowking back Pregnacare for months but don't think there's any chance of a BFP this month (I'm getting really fed up with DTD not for fun so only managed a couple of half hearted shags this month) So as soon as AF arrives I'm also stocking up on Conceive Plus, softcups, grapefruit juice. Anything else I need??!!

Spotti · 12/05/2014 11:56

Zwanger - LOVE IT! That's what I'm going to use instead of Pregnant from now on :).

Yay for English and Ginger. And fx for SoMuch.

I'm on Bike day 22-24 (I've lost count!) of a 35 day Bike , and around 6-8dpo. Doing well at keeping myself distracted from symptom spotting but I have a feeling that the crazy is going to reappear in a few days...got about a week and a half still to wait. Hmph.

So what are you lovely ladies up to today? I've got a rare day off work and was supposed to be out training a friends dog (the same friend whose springer spaniel is currently chomping on a bone at my feet) but she cancelled due to the pounding rain I'm kind of glad tbh - wasn't looking forward to getting drenched!, and my other daily-dog-client was simply amazing last night and we've decided to have a few days between sessions to allow them all to practise sooooooo that means I've got diddly squat to do today!!! Anyone got any suggestions? Currently just sat here watching twaddly telly Come Dine With Me - bleurgh! and stuffing my face with homemade gluten free quiche (tuna and sweetcorn - sounds weird but it is actually really yummy!)

macmissy · 12/05/2014 12:14

I am stuck in work Spotti struggling as had only 2 days in last week due to my best friends wedding - just can't seem to get motivated at all! Everything is a distraction today!

MrsGingerbread · 12/05/2014 12:59

Stats for me too, from the non-shagathon perspective. :)

Positive opk on cd 12, temperature spike on morning of cycle day 15.

We dtd cycles 12 and 14.

We also -

  • used preseed
  • I ate pineapple around possible implantation dates
  • upsidedown cycling

However the biggest change was a DRASTIC reduction in caffeine intake.

Whether any of these made any difference I really have no idea. :)

I thought af arrived on 10 dpo, possible implantation bleed. I got my bfp on 13dpo (one day after af was due, my cycles are short).

I'll be sticking around here waving pom poms for all of you ladies!

Waffleyversatile · 12/05/2014 13:18

well no AF today again and now on CD30 and 3 days late . had a goot bit of cramping again this morning and really felt like I was going to come on but when i went to the toilet nothing. Have booked an appointment with my GP for Friday. hoping that will make the witch appear.

Strangely feeling a lot moer relaxed today possible as a result of my meltdown yesterday.

Congrats to all the BFP's!!

sazzlehopes · 12/05/2014 13:33

Hi ladies - delurking quickly to say congrats to english and ginger too...and hopefully SMF! Nice to see you on here!
Really great news on the bus. Hooray!
Loving Zwanger as a phrase - brilliant Grin

Spinning, good luck buddy with those cups! Glad also you're having a nice holiday x

Fingerscrossed36 · 12/05/2014 14:37

Rant alert

Just phoned the Drs for my blood test results.

Drs has marked my tests as no further action required or something like that and when I asked for my actual readings. They can't give them as they are not medically trained. Didn't ask her to interpret them just give me the numbers Angry

What is that supposed to mean anyway. The tests were to check my female hormones that they were functioning but also to check progesterone.

Sorry ladies no one else I can talk to. Over 100 days since AF visited last I just want to know what the hell is going on

BFN last Wednesday Sad

Fingerscrossed36 · 12/05/2014 14:40

Just eaten a whole Easter egg while ranting and now feel sick Blush Sad

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 15:05

Hi Sazzle and thanksGrin

How are you? Have you had your 20week scan yet, do you k ow what you're having?

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 15:06

Fingers, feel free to rant!! That really isn't good enough! I would book an appointment to go and see doc and discuss results with him.

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 15:10

Thanks for stats mrsG, good to hear of a bfp without the shagathon! Preseed seems to be working well on the May busGrin

sazzlehopes · 12/05/2014 15:21

Hi spinning, I'm 20 weeks now, but my scan is next monday - a week today! and i'll be 21 weeks then. Think we will find out what we are having this time, we didn't last...but nice for ds to bond with baby i reckon! I'm going boy again...I'm pretty sure - all feels the same!
Good luck with the preseed! Wink Grin

MiniLop · 12/05/2014 15:23

Hi everyone, please can I join in?
I've finally convinced DH to start TTC! Grin
A little about me:
I'm 25, been married for 9 months (together for 8 years)
I've been on the pill for the last 8 years, excluding a break of about 18 months in the middle when I was on depo.
I took my last pill this morning, expecting AF probably Friday.
So I guess my first cycle will be in June, after my first 'proper' AF??
Nice to meet you all! x

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 16:05

Hi Mini and welcome to the crazy bus, good luckGrin

Ooh Sazzle, so exciting! Wow 20weeks already. Please come and tell us how the scan goes and share a pic with usGrin

Just got a smiley face on a cb opk! Line wasn't as dark on ic which is odd! Anyway we'll dtd later, have just told dp and he said 'oh no, not more!!' Haha Grin

ChandlersFarang · 12/05/2014 16:09

Hiya MiniLop, welcome! Smile

Fingers, that really isn't good enough! Call them back and demand a telephone chat with the doctor at the very least.

Ladies, I'm coming back home to the UK for a two week holiday next month and I want to pick up some of the things you've all been recommending/using as getting it to be delivered to Thailand is really hit and miss!! I want to buy a basal thermometer, Preseed and Softcups so that I'm all prepared if I'm not lucky on my next cycle. If I go to a big Boots branch will I be able to get all of these things? I'll be in Central London a lot so hoping this shouldn't be too hard! The websites aren't very clear as to what is stocked where though. Really grateful to hear if anyone knows!! Thanks!! Smile

hanflan · 12/05/2014 17:07

Hi all! I haven't checked in for a few days as I am on a mini break with DH at the moment. Having a lovely time and it has distracted me from symptom spotting etc. However, I am now 14 dpo and BFN this morning. Arse. Suppose I should just sit back and wait for AF to show her ugly face! Oh well. Still early days so trying not to let it bother me too much. DH is more disappointed than me I think! Bless him Sad

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 17:11

Chandler you definitely get soft cups and preseed or conceive plus. Don't know about the thermometer but I expect someone else will know.

Hanflan, pleased you're enjoying your break. We're just back from our weekend and had a lovely time. Sorry for the bfn. I hate disappointing dp every month.

MissMrsMummy · 12/05/2014 17:13

Hi Chandlers I don't think you can get preseed but you can get ConceivePlus which is the same kind of thing. You should be able to get the Softcups. They seem to have thermometers but they are only 1dp and you need 2 for accuracy. Can you get amazon deliveries in Thailand? That's where I get all my stuff!
