The May bus continues for those who regularly check for their Cervical Lucas, take frolic acid, shout SYMPTOMS, stock up on more BastardSticks and just want to be upduffed by the green penis dragon!!

We needed a new thread already!!

Old thread is here

Wow English, that's fab! Didn't realise you were back for good must read thread properly

Maybe just change your name to Girl!

I can only imagine what it's like, but I think that's it now, you worry for the rest of your life I like your attitude though, today you are pregnant

Good luck with the unpacking. I think you need to save something really dull for DH to do

Very exciting retro and congrats about the house!
Welcome home english

Well I didn't test last night. Had 2 glasses of wine and felt sick. Still feeling horrible this morning. I'm wondering if I actually have a bug! No af either. And nothing in the house to pee on. DH is still sleeping (in the other room because he was a bit of an arse lsdt night ).
I had a dream that I'd got a BFP and first thing I did was post it on here!
Then woke up.

FX for you blueberry. When will you test?

Welcome home English!
Retro fx for you, I'm reserving judgement on all ic tests after my spate of false positives. Really hope this month is your month though.

I'm distinctly dubious about ics, but the spotting and temps do have me wondering... If still no AF by Wedneday morning I'll crack out the FRER in the cupboard.

Stress often moves my ov date but hasn't been affecting LP up to now. But there's always a first time for everything!

Retro I see a line but hate going with the ic's due to past experience but that is what mines was like this time when I got my BFP on a FRER so fx for you

Welcome home English

I too would po another stick Retro, just because ic is faint doesn't mean another will be.

Found out my bbt problem (thank you Google!). I need to hold down the button to get my last reading and as soon as I unpress it, a reading of 36.50 appears before the Lo message. Got a reading of 36.80 doing that. That's normal, right

That's a normal post-ov temp for me Kitty, but everyone's different.

I give up! Will try tomorrow - hope I don't have a duff thermometer!

Retro I can see a line but can't zoom properly as on phone. Have you kept your fmu? If so, stick a frer in it now. The day I got my BFP the frer was proper strong but still only the faintest line on those "sensitive" ICs. And they were giving me obvious bfn after my period due date.

Retro I can see it! Fx for your next poas!

I completely slept through my 0630 alarm today! So I took my temp at 0830 and it had gone up. I was due to ov today so shall I just assume it was yesterday?

I am so nervous in case of a BFP! With the job situation! DH refuses to stop trying so I said he can go and tell my new boss if I get the job and I'm pg!

Everyone's temps are different kitty, my pre-ov are between 36.4 & 36.6, post ov 36.7-36.9.
As long as there's a clear difference between pre & post it doesn't matter what the temps actually are. And my thermometer sounds the same as yours

fancy, I haven't kept it. I'd get quite obsessive otherwise

I'm only allowing myself to use the cheapies until AF is due, so Tuesday. Still no sign of AF though... Weird.

Morning all!
Retro how exciting to hear about you line! Pls Pls POAS again soon for all our sakes!
Glad the move went well English, at least the unpacking will keep you busy until the doctor's appt, the fact there not much spotting now must be good though.

With all the talk of BBTs, I wonder if we should start a BBT tracker - post each 's temps. I am so curious how others' temp tend to vary. Mine go up and down quite a bit, so pre-ov between 36.2-35.5 and post ov 36.7-36.8. So today is CD13 and dipped from .5 yesterday to .3 first thing, which is good, but then I did a second reading straight after which showed .5... Maybe my termometer is just crap!

Silver, do you have the fertility friend app? There's a free feature where you can look at loads of other charts. Spent many a happy hour on there! You can refine it to include things like early ovulation, pcos, cm etc.

Haha! No I don't... yet!

Just a quick post. I hope your bean sticks English and I hope you get a bfp retro, you deserve it after the shite you had to go through last cycle :-(

Ive had a nice holiday, just on our way back now to a sunny weekend :-) I'm a few dpo, not checked my app, not obsessing, not symptom spotting. Just chillaxing.

Ladies, I'm afraid to say that I'm going to have to bugger off to the other bus . I'm pretty certain AF is here (a week early!) as I'm now bleeding quite a bit and MY GOD these cramps hurt!

My OH, bless him, keeps trying to tell me that some people have 'a period' and are trill pregnant (apparently his step mum and step sister had 'periods' during early pregnancy), but without wanting to ask the TMI question IRL about just how much blood counts as 'a period', it's hard to know how realistic that is...

I'm not allowing myself to even think I might be. I'll be too sad when I come crashing back down to reality and realise that actually it's just Mother Nature being an evil bitch as always.

So I guess I'll see you guys over on the June bus...although I really hope not...--I'll just stalk you all on the dragon a/n thread instead >evil laugh

Just realised that if I OV at around the same time again, my most fertile days are going to be over my birthday...now this might sound good for birthday sexy time BUT if I think I might be ovulating then I'm not going to want to get drunk.

So now that means:
A) AF turned up a full week early.
B) because of I have wasn't prepared with cake-day cake, hence have nothing to console myself with cake obviously^ soothes the pain
C) it's looking like I won't be celebrating my BFP around my birthday...
D) ...or getting spectacularly pissed as I might be OVing and don't want to f*ck it up by adding alcohol into the mix.

Argh!

Stupid bloody Mother Nature bitch messing with my life again! Why do you have to take all of the fun out of everything?,

It's not fair. >stamps feet and sulks like a child<

I hate my body right now.

On a more positive note - the sun is shining! Woo!

Hey everyone
I have been very quiet this week due to my phone being broken :-(
Sorry I havent been able to catch up on everyones news, this bus is chatty! But I did read back a bit.
english I hope your move back wasnt too stressful, and at least England is looking appealing basking in this sunshine!
Spotti Mother nature is indeed a total bitch. Cake sounds like a very good idea.
retro fx for a darker line in the coming days!
Not much to report here really. 11dpo today for me and I am trying not to get my hopes up. My boobs hurt and are swollen, I still have creamy cm, Normally I wee twice a day, morning and evening, but today I have been 3 times already, and I keep getting very short waces of feeling sick, but of course all these things could just be mother nature playing mind games with me. Bfn this morning on ic, but as I have a long LP it is still early days I guess.
Sorry for any news I missed, fx for anyone else awaiting a bfp and lots of virtual cake to anyone who needs it too x

Oh Spotti, is AF here a week early as in 7dpo, or might you have ovulated early? Just thinking there may be some hope for a boozy birthday if so? And let's face it, how many of us have friends who we're trying for ages then got drunk and bam, bfp?! It's a story that usually closet follows the 'just relax' statement.

I poanothers . Faint line, same shade as this mornings. Showed DH who was even more underwhelmed than last time. Especially when I said if I was going to be stressing he should too.

BBQing at SIL's this evening. I'm still drinking, but will just take it easy. If I am, I am, if I'm not, I'm not. A couple of cold beers with my partially raw burger isn't going to hurt.

Daren't even look at the FRER yet. Going to see if my IC line gets any darker or AF (very very pale brown discharge -sorry - now) arrives.

Eekz

Mmm, I can smell someone's BBQ and I want some! Sitting in my garden MNetting! Love the name change English-glad to have you back on British soil! Did you miss hills ?!

Am convinced now that I have yet to get the right BBT temp. It doesn't matter that it is still only CD5 does it? Think I have the knack but just want to confirm...I can temp vaginally and doze so that the thermometer goes 'off' (as I can't hear the beep down there!) and when I press the hold button record the temp before undressing it. Sound good, ladies?

unpressing it, duh! I'm not doing wierd things to my thermometer...promise

Kitty you're funny!

Retro, nah! I'm pretty sure I OVed around day 16/3rd May (first ever + OPK, had a few days of faint lines and then BAM an instant dark one, and then it started to fade again), which would make today about...>counts on fingers

Hi ladies, I am hopeless at keeping up with this thread!
But wanted to let you know AF has rocked up for me. Not too gutted, as it's 1st cycle TTC post pill & has seemed like a very respectable 28-day cycle, so hopeful this is a sign all is ticking over as it should.

Now, where's that June bus...
