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

Bah choc - good luck for June.

I want sore boobs. Ive got no symptoms at all! Compared to last month where I had every symptom going!

Blueberry I think you should test again just in case...

Just checking in to say I'm still here I'm 11 or 12 dpo.. Just hitting the window of wanting desperately to poas but trying not to. No symptoms. AF due at 16 dpo so by 24/25th..

A belated CONGRATS to retro and all others who got bfp and for those who have had bad news.

I'm here, CD8, BTP due 9th June.

Tonight we start the smep! I really want this month to be the one

I'm CD16 today. Usually ov is cd 13 or 14 but I think the acupuncture lengthens my cycles as I haven't had the consistent temp spike yet. It started going up today so if it continues rising tomorrow, it would mean I oved yesterday. (Good job I managed to force persuade DH to dtd last night!) If that's the case though, it means AF may not be due until 31 May or 1 June, meaning I might be on the wrong bus!

Btw I don't know about reflexology but acupuncture has been really good for me. Relaxing & does what it says on the tin. The session on cd3 was meant to bring the temperature down, which it did in comparison to the prev no-acup cycle; the one on Cd10 was meant to stimulate ewcm, which it did over 3 days & more than usual, etc. So I'm hopeful for this month. Hope it makes a difference!

That's really interesting re acupuncture.

I know my mum swears by it for a few things she's had wrong.

One of my besties had problems conceiving. Bad PCOS and was told she wasn't even ovulating. Had acupuncture and then BOOM, upduffed. Coincidence?!

Hope all of you in the 2ww are ok! Well done for not poas yet!

I thought I was 4DPO but I might only be 1DPO - let me know your thoughts on my temp chart!

Hi ladies! How's everyone doing??
Anyone ready to poas?? I've got an early scan on Thursday, shitting myself but also quietly excited!

Ooh broodie how can you not poas?

I've got loads of cm today, symptom?!

Ooh English, early scan is exciting, let us know how you get on

exciting english keep us updated!

maybe I should add acupuncture to my list. mind you if my DH knew how much I've spent on ttc so far I think he'd faint

That's the thing, it's not a cheap pleasure, I pay £45-50 per treatment. Yet the first full cycle I had treatments I got pg (although for only a few days... ). This is now my second full cycle of treatments so fx.

Yup ttc can be expensive, I have reflexology once a month and it's £35 a session. Which is not too bad to be honest compared to some. But I save on not buying pee sticks as I've only used 3 in 18months and only if I've been later than expected. I've bought ic opks but I'm not happy with them really, might use them up in conjunction with Tesco's own, which are quite good and £9 for 5 or 7? I have not forked out for pre-conception vits either, except frolic acid and iron.

Ooh, missmrs, I can see why you thought you ovulated already. It does look as if you have just ovulated though. Maybe your body geared up for it, but wasn't successful so had another go. Temps over the next few days might be telling. Do you still want to give it a go this cycle?

English The early scan is good-more info the better You're going to see your little one soon!!

Another one here who has spent hundreds in the 7 months I've been TTC. I'll be bankrupt soon!!

Well I'm 9dpo today and have been merrily poas since 7dpo (I know, I've given up trying to be sensible, it's just not in my nature). So far bfn but that doesn't stop me being forever hopeful and symptom spotting. Today the sore boobs have started, and some af cramps.

I'll probably poa ic and an ov test later. I've got a stash of both and my cycles are so all over the shop I'd never rule out not actually having ov'd yet. We did so well with dtd this month that I am well and truly over it though. Let's hope ov really has been and gone.

Thanks for looking Kitty - I wouldn't be surprised if I almost ov'd then didn't, I'm still all over the place with stress! TTC is on the back burner for now, so in a way it'd be good if I only ov'd yest as there is little chance of me conceiving - haven't DTD since last Weds.

The other thing is I haven't been sleeping well, and have been waking before my alarm so temps are probably not that accurate.

Also, my boobs have not been sensitive AT ALL this cycle and they are usually huge and very sore! Maybe I haven't ov'd at all?!

Ooh you just reminded me spinning. I've got loads of cm too. Not ewcm though thankfully. I'm sure I've heard cm is a SYMPTOM.

Are you still seeing your reflexologist missmrs? Might be worth another visit, especially if you haven't been sleeping well, poor love. It's been SATs week as well hasn't it-no wonder your stress levels are through the roof. Hope you Fi nd the next few days easier-and it's half term next week

I know what you need about the DTD duchesse. I often wish I was more normal and ovulated around CD14/15 or at least ovulated same time every month, so then would only have to DTD a couple of time-7 at most. When you have long erratic cycles like ours and end up DTD for about 14 days plus (18 days has been my record) in case ovulation is just around the corner, you tend to get sick of it

mean not need-sorry duchesse!

dark yellow/light brown cm.. symptom??

Evening,

broody, def a symptom!

Just realised I've not posted my stats, feeling more confident now so here goes...

Positive opk on CD9, dtd CD 4, then had a thrush flare-up so abstained for a few days. Thankfully PO the Opk in the morning, so dtd am and pm, that was it for this cycle (reassurance for the non-marathon dtd-ers!).

Painful boobs after ov, eased off around 7 dpo, then picked up again over the last couple of days. Some pink, then brown discharge since Friday, but nothing else. Had a very faint line on the ic at 10dpo, so tested with a million a 'proper' test and got a line!

Got 'pregnant 1-2' this morning (15dpo) on a CB digi, and the ic lines are getting stronger every day. Still no SYMPTOMS other than boob pain, but I'm wondering if the wave of sleepiness that comes over after lunch is related? GP appointment booked for next Tuesday... By which time I might actually believe this .

Still cautious, and though DH wants to tell his mum, I'm wary. I'm going to try and make him hold off till I've been to the GP. Its terrifying

Great to hear the cb digi confirmation and the ic lines are getting darker Retro! Will be exciting to go and tell your GP!

Kitty Yes I went to reflexology last week, after 2 nights of hardly sleeping! It helped massively. I might need a top-up - maybe I'll get a 30-min session. Hope you are ok x

broodie SYMPTOM! How many DPO?

Well the opk was negative so I can have a rest tonight. And it's so faint it's very very possible I'm making it up but I could see a pink tinge line on the hpt. I so hope it is and I get a bfp tomorrow or in the next few days.

Love your stats Retro, Miss I'm 12 dpo but don't expect af until 16 dpo. I've also got INCREDIBLY painful boobs and af like cramps.. symptoms yes that is what I normally get before AF too
