He he MrsE - how's the packing going? Do you know when you can move? And how's the lovely shiny new car?

I'm currently sat on the sofa with my dog "O" on my lap (well his head, he's a bit big to sit on my lap), my foster support doggy "C" chomping on a bone thing on the floor and my friend's was-going-to-be-rehomed-but-now-decided-to-keep-him but let him live with me of a bit while we get him socialised with said friends current grumpy doggies dog "M" at my feet. Got the day off work today and to say it's my day off, I think I've done more today than I do on a normal 'work' day! Only just stopped! (I started my day 5am this morning). I think I'm subconsciously training myself for when my BFP and consequent little dragon arrive...either that or I'm just seriously tempting the Law of Sod by being so busy that I couldn't possibly find time for a baby! Also trying to find time to get my 2 businesses up and running...recently sent off some paperwork for a patent for one of them and I'm spending the next few days cramming in dog training sessions left, right and centre in between shifts at work and other 'a day in the life of Spotti' jobs to try and get the second business going.

Phew. Feeling tired just thinking about it all!

Planning on pouncing on OH tonight. Got another possible positive OPK today (the test line isn't as dark as the control BUT it's only recently that it's shown 2 lines at all) and I'm not risking missing the boat so we're planning to DTD as often as possible until that second line however faint goes away.

Hope everyone else is having a good day Smile.

Dragon Rawr!

toothachereturns · 01/05/2014 13:35

Quick question. .. I know what DH stands for.... but what's OH? Smile

I prefer conceive plus too.

I keep forgetting to try the cough medicine - if I'm cd4 would it be too late to try it this cycle? its the one with robitisthingyun i think?

hanflan · 01/05/2014 14:05

3dpo.... it's impossible to symptom spot as this bloody uti is still raging. And making me cry. Any helpful hints out there?! I have been necking the sodium citrate cranberry sachet thingies but doesn't seem to be doing anything. Ouch Sad

lindamagoo · 01/05/2014 14:08

genni I used boots own chesty cough bottle with the active ingredient guaifenesin. Worked a treat, you should still be ok to start taking it now, just stop when your due to ov

lindamagoo · 01/05/2014 14:09

It's just a cheaper version of Robitussin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 01/05/2014 14:30

I love my new car spotti and for once am the envy of every woman in the playground! Haha! That's novel! I just get knowing glances from men, bubble out of head reads "that's brand new isn't it"! Women are much more vocal. Dh rained on my parade a bit, but that's only coz we are selling his coupe. He's in a sulk.

House move is slow, packing not started yet as vendors haven't found anywhere to buy. It suits me to take time. Life is just one massive stress ball at the moment. I had 5 conversations with one of the ladies that works for me over thread colour this morning it took 2 hours to resolve and felt like I needed a stiff drink after. Just not getting anything find very fast and ridiculously tired. I'm going to try and up these iron tablets as I'm so drained. Feritin only 15. Wish me luck that my bottom holds out. Hopefully it's healed enough. Where's the oj??? Wink

Brummiegirl15 · 01/05/2014 15:01

Thanks for replies all - am on the cough medicine. Taking two teaspoons twice a day. However I read somewhere that cough medicine can make your CM wetter - however it can only improve what is there, you can't put it there if that makes sense.

Will keep trying with preseed but when finished may try conceive plus

BlingBubbles · 01/05/2014 15:12

Hi ladies,

I think I will be joining you all on this crazy bus. Had my coil taken out mid April so it's time to TTC. Already have 1 DD who is nearly 3, fell pregnant the first month with her hopefully things will go as smoothly this time round.

AF is due next weekend so I guess I will really be on the June bus but hey ho!

Looking forward to the ride with you all. Smile

spotti, your day has been way more productive than mine, and mine was meant to be used for work (PPA).

So far I have:
got up at 10am.
not walked the dog.
Been erranding and spent too much.
Paid in some cheques.
Vacced
Put the dishwasher on
Put some laundry in a basket.

I should have been planning reading for the next three weeks, sorting next week's maths lessons and writing my application for the job I'm already doing and apparently aren't very good at which is due in tomorrow.

Nowt like procrastination hey?

RetroHippy · 01/05/2014 15:15

kurama, that's really pretty Dragon Dragon Dragon

hanflan · 01/05/2014 15:22

Kurama that is STUNNING! Ahhhhh I want one! Looks like the dragon eggs in Game of Thrones Dragon

lindamagoo · 01/05/2014 15:52

Kurama that is so nice Smile

kurama · 01/05/2014 16:00

hanflan I think thats what its suppost to be! got it feom a website called etsy... they had so many different colours. I think march or april lady gave the link to hers which was solid blue? its extra for a chain tho. [rawr] Grin I love it x

hanflan · 01/05/2014 16:05

Ooooh I shall have a gander, thanks!

TinyPawz · 01/05/2014 16:08

ok so I was planning on taking things ever so easy and relaxed as much as possible but reading you all with opk and symptom checking I fear my DP will lock me in the cupboard under the stairs......I have become quite hysterical and only on cd 10!!! Going to be a loooooooooooong month for us both

NewlymrsB · 01/05/2014 16:13

TTC actually turns us ladies crazy! I'm on crotch watch and could be until Monday! Agh won't mind if AF never shows but knowing my luck she will appear Monday and drag it out!!

Anyone else waiting for her to show?

RetroHippy · 01/05/2014 16:33

I think I'm getting thrush (tmi, sorry!) gearing up for marathon week and I'm getting that unpleasant feeling Angry

Reckon I can fend it off with yakult? There's no way I'm missing this month!

MrBsMrsB · 01/05/2014 16:53

Hi Ladies,

2 x April cycles and no BFP so I'm hitching a ride with all you beautiful people.

MrBsMrsB TTC#1 Cycle 6 BFP due 20th May

MrsExtraOrdinary · 01/05/2014 16:55

Retro you can get pro biotic tablets that will cleanse. I used to guarantee to get it on run up to period. A flood and thrush! Not Nice! Poor you! Cotton knickers and as my stupid insulting advised to iron your gusset! Grin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 01/05/2014 16:56

Vital word missing (stupid gynea consultant) whoops!

spinningirl10 · 01/05/2014 17:35

Does anyone else not share symptom spotting and poas with their other half? My dp usually asks at some point in my cycle if I'm pregnant!! He doesn't really have any clue when I would get a bfp/af during the cycle..... I just tell him when af arrives.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 01/05/2014 17:50

Brummie - I used evening primrose oil last cycle and it really helped. Just until ov.
I try to keep my crazy away from DH, especially since the mc. He was beginning to get worries that I was too obsessed! So it my (and yours) secret. I just tel him when AF arrives and when he needs to make himself useful Wink
