realises she has a big fat bag of crisps to herself but hasn't offered to share<

How rude of me - anyone want a crisp? I've got lots. They're sweet chilli flavour and are rather yummy...even if they do set your mouth on fire after a couple of mouthfuls! Tempted?

Mam31 · 17/05/2014 12:30

Hello ladies, Mama31 here (forced to name change due to password issue and wouldn't let me have Mama again so have to use Mam) and please call me Mama! Lol (very attached to this name lol)

Anyway, as some of you know I left the buses a few cycles ago as I was finding it difficult. But I am really missing the fun and positivity on the buses, so if I could get a June bus ticket?? That would be just lovely!

Mama31 TTC#2 cycle 13! BFP 14th June

I am spotting currently as per usual, af due Monday then officially cycle 13. I do now have regular cycles thanks to Agnus Castus they are now 26 days long every month and before they were 22-25 days long, changed every month.

Just an update since I was last on the bus: We have been referred for further tests at the hospital but the waiting list means I won't be seen until August. DH SA has been done and is fine. Just hoping I won't need hoked and poked at in August and that my bfp comes first!!!!

I know cycle 13 sounds scary, but I am still positive it will happen, and will never stop believing and trying until I get my bfp :)

Ok so that's where I'm at now! Great to be back with you crazy ladies....and you better promise to keep it crazy!

KittyVonCatsington · 17/05/2014 12:31

Mmmm, sweet chilli-yes please! Am currently sitting in my garden with mu two fur babies in the glorious sunshine, Spotti !

I'm sorry AF made an appearance when she did. I too am currently starting a 'who knows what, when' cycle, so am partly guessing my stats too and will be 34 before I meet any new arrival. But ho hum! This TTC business tests even the most patient of personalities Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 17/05/2014 12:41

Hi Mama! (feels odd calling you Mam!) So so pleased to have you back on board, but totally understood you needed support from others in the same boat-I always lurked though, just to see how you were getting on!

It does sound scary, Bike 13, but it will happen, I am sure of it. Even if mother nature needs a little push! Till then, I will enjoy your sense of humour and we can all keep each other company.

Have returned from a lovely reflexology session. Keeps me relaxed if nothing else Smile

mistywillow17 · 17/05/2014 17:37

Hey ladies, I need to hop on please.
my stats: Mistywillow17, 32, TTC #1, Cycle 2, BFP due 14th June.

I've just been doing some calculations and looks like this will be a tough month - I am likely to be at my most fertile the day after completing a 100 km walk/run from London to Brighton.
I'm not sure I will be able to bend my knees the next day, let alone get actively involved in any bedroom gymnastics. Still, I have told DH that I am prepared to be brave Wink

Mam31 · 17/05/2014 18:07

Hi Kitty! Thanks for the warm welcome back! I must say I was never far away, always lurking on my old pals to see how they were :) how are you doing? And yes please continue to call me Mama I def do not like Mam, but I'm stuck with it now unfortunately! :(

I'm feeling strangely good today even though af is imminent, Monday I'm guessing! The spotting is steady so will be full flow by Monday!! But I've accepted it's on to cycle 13 and feel happy back on the bus with my buddies! Feels right and I'm always happy when the bfp's coming rolling in, even if mine doesn't I love to see it for others too!

So who's next, make me :)

KittyVonCatsington · 17/05/2014 18:13

Sorry to see you on here, misty - pick a seat and get ready for a brand new Bike full of hope Grin

Mama- seems I'm struggling with taking my own bloody temperature-I ask you!! Other than that, gearing up for this month with lots of posifrickentivity.
Really don't think I have ovulated at all since the chemical back in
Feb, but AF seems back to normal: the right colour, aches and "flow" so hoping she has settled finally. However, in case not, am temping so I have some evidence to take to Doctors if need be. Glad the Agnus Castus is working for you-shame it takes so long!

Mam31 · 17/05/2014 19:22

Yes positivity is the only way! :) I hope your temping helps, I have never done this but have had bloods done and know when I'm ovulating pretty much anyway! I have scrapped opks and pregnacare, just sticking to folic and agnus Castus as the rest has not worked so far so no point wasting any more money.

I'm on the 4th cycle of AC and I definately see an improvement in my cycles so hoping it helps regulate things if nothing else.

Good luck kitty! Hoping for lots of laughs and madness on here, I have missed the fun so much!

Spotti · 17/05/2014 22:06

Does anyone fancy a penis dragon picture? Feels like we've not had on in a while...want me to a'googling?

chuckles at the fact that my autocorrect recognised "a'googling" from me typing "a'goo". He he. Don't think I've ever written that ^ before, but I'm liking the fact that autocorrect is actually being useful for a change!<

Hi mama. Lovely to have you back. Missed you :)

Spotti · 17/05/2014 22:08
  • FFS, just when I was saying how good you've been, you had to go and delete a word so that my sentence no longer made sense. Bloody autocorrect!

That was supposed to say "want me to go a'googling?"

kurama · 17/05/2014 22:21

Spotti · 17/05/2014 22:25

Really? We show up on google? COOL!!!

does a little "we're famous" dance<

I'm liking the new pic kurama. Feeling the need to google another though...will wait until tomorrow...or at least 5 minutes :p

Mam31 · 17/05/2014 22:51

Hi Spotti, thank you, I've missed you crazy lot too! Feel very welcome back on the bus...think it was the right decision....just need Onelife back on here?!?!

Kurama! Amazing! Wow! I've sure missed these strangely wonderful pics of the penis dragons! MORE MORE MORE!!!!! Lol

Mam31 · 17/05/2014 22:52

Haha! Spotti, would you still think it was cool if your real name came up on google under penis dragons??? Lol

KittyVonCatsington · 17/05/2014 23:49

Come in from my night out to a lovely pic of a dragon penis and couldn't resist going on the hunt for more!

Hope you like this one (purple is my favourite colour!) - thought you'd all like walking up to it Grin Blimey - I did see some corkers though - never thought I'd see drawings of dragons 69ing

Cd4 and now officially our 2nd wedding anniversary. Dtd has commenced WinkSmile will look for more pics on laptop tomorrow in a few hours lol

KittyVonCatsington · 18/05/2014 08:50

Happy Anniversary! Cake What a beautiful day to celebrate Grin

mistywillow17 · 18/05/2014 10:22

Happy anniversary Kurama Thanks

Owlie84 · 18/05/2014 11:30

Hello all!!! I'm dragging my sorry ass onto the bus as AF arrived this morning. Boo!!! :( so stats are:

Owlie84 ttc#1 [cycle] 12 BFP due June 14th

I'm not feeling spectacularly positive as although we're on cycle 12, it's been well over a year ttc now. But I have one more trick up my sleeve - soft cups! I have no idea how to use them as we'll need to inseminate rather than use them after dtd (long term performance issues) so I'll have to read up and hope for the best!

Spotti · 18/05/2014 12:02

Mama, at this particular moment in time, I don't think I'd care if someone found out I was associated to the whole penis dragon craziness! It's made me giggle more times than I can remember, and the fact that I've had you lot to turn to when I feel rubbish has been worth far more than any shake could ever bring to me if anyone IRL made the connection! I've had a few people ask about my dragon egg pineapple pendant already and I've had to make up some lame story about how I've always likes dragons whilst trying to keep a straight face and not reference the words "penis", "DTD/TTC", "pineapple, pomegranate and grapefruit", "pine cones" or "fertility goddesses" (oh and obviously "MN!").

I've actually seen a really cute baby outfit that is a dragon...I'm soooo tempted to get one and then once future bump arrives, have a newborn picture taken in it. You know, just for giggles! Although I think if it was a good photo then I'd maybe frame it as a reminder of you lot and the crazy journey we've been on that is TTC!

On a different note: we've still got sunshine! Wooo!

Been out to a carboot this morning and couldn't resist a few bargains! Got a cute little Moses basket + bedding for a fiver (and it's got a hood - awww!), a travel cot for about £8 and then a non-baby related printer/scanner for the office (been after one for a while but never got round to buying one, but for a fiver, I couldn't resist!). OH bought some pirate Lego and some new shades, and then he almost bought Guitar Hero for Xbox 360 but I talked him out of it as I really don't think he'd use it plus the racket would drive me up the wall...he's much more of a "zombie basher" - his words, not mine - than a guitar player.
There were loads of other cute things too, like a fair few car seats and tiny baby clothes (awww) and those funny sleep bag thingymabobs, one of whic had a crocodile on had it been a dinosaur or a dragon, I wouldn't have been able to walk away Wink. Obvs wasn't planning on buying a car seat second hand...just in case...but the other things we bought were just too good to be missed!

Hope everyone else is having a good Sunday (ha ha, SUNday Grin).

Spotti · 18/05/2014 12:03

*shake? That was supposed to say shame.

Mam31 · 18/05/2014 12:24

Happy Anniversary Kurama! Hope you have a lovely day :)

Spotti wow sounds like some great purchases, ive never seen good stuff at car boots before I must be going to the wrong ones! I will up my game and find some good ones!

And love the dragon outfit how cute is that gona be?!

Mam31 · 18/05/2014 12:25

I'm still shocked at the selection of dragon penis' on google! Good one Kitty! Love how you came in from your night out and just had to get your penis dragon fix haha!

Spotti · 18/05/2014 13:39

They're addictive mama. Really. Try googling one and you'll find yourself looking for more!
