Hi everyone, I know this is probably a bit early (since it isn't July yet) but I thought I would start a new thread for those who lost their tickets for previous busses and for those who are beginning their bus journey now. Please feel free to add your stats to the list and grab a good seat while you can. Best of luck to everyone TTC and I look forward to getting many BFP's posted on here.

Thanks scottish :)

I LOVE alcohol. Just had the most amazing cocktail that tasted like a twister ice cream. Mmmmmm :)

Enjoy your night ladies x

laurano81 · 20/06/2014 22:28

Nordic I get EWCM for a 2/3 days running up to ovulation, maybe the feeling on your ovary is just the follicle getting ready to rupture..Fx you get a +opk tomorrow x When did you ovulate last month? Do you temp?

Welcome FoscarC Smile Oh wouldn't a honeymoon baby be fab! Fx Smile Where did you go on honeymoon? I got married in October! We went to Hungary for our honeymoon, as some of my DH' family couldn't travel over. I'm 32, as well! I will be 33 in October! x

Rainbow555 · 20/06/2014 22:29

Thanks to those with the advice on OV sticks and pee times! Mine wer off internet and came with very few instructions and nothing about when to use them! Got up early in a daze today and forgot...so good to know I don't need fmu!
I can't get things delivered form amazon very easily to NZ, wish I could cos it sounds much cheaper!!
Will do another when I get up soon....hope you are all having lovely Friday nights...I had a glass of wine last nigh too to celebrate the weekend and will go dry now till bfp time!
Mmmmm your cocktail sounds lush treacle

Treaclepie19 · 20/06/2014 22:31

It really was!
Yum.

I am not worrying so much this month because the cycle I had a few drinks around ovulation I got pregnant.

KittyVonCatsington · 20/06/2014 22:51

Am tucked up in bed-getting too old for late nights!!

So much to catch up on-Treacle, my Head gave me a bottle of wine yesterday for the last minute OFSTED training observation. So lovely of him!

laurano81 - Went to the Doctors on Wednesday and even though I listed everything, she merely said I was allergic to something but was unlikely to do with ovulation I so think it is hormonal related and should be fine ovulating. Rushed me out in 5 minutes though obviously wanted to rush me out!

Hve read over a few of the questions relating to preseed etc. when I got my BFP in Feb, this is what I did:

  1. Used Balance Activ every time now use conceive plus as cheaper
  2. Orgasmed after DH manually or cycled with legs in air for a few minutes
  3. DTD every day from CD10-CD24 (didn't know I'd ovulate late at CD20 back then otherwises wouldn't have started so early)
  4. DTD mostly in the morning
  5. Used ClearBlue Digi OPK sticks. They say to use FMU but I randomly tested in the afternoon on CD20 as in the morning, could see the two lines getting darker on the sticks and got my positive then. I now uses Internet cheapie OneStep ovulation sticks and they worked perfectly last month and won't break the bank. I also bought mini plastic shot glasses from ASDA and they are perfect to pee in and bin straight away!)
  6. Was on pregnacare conception vits. Now only take Folic acid as pregnacare messed with my cycle
  7. Was first month of trying Reflexology
  8. Was taking manuka honey every day, based on a past bus passenger called MrsKoala. Can't say it made a difference as still had colds all over winter! Don't bother with it now.

Of course, I also had a textbook cycle last month and wasn't successful so the above could all be complete nonsense. Gives me something to do, anyway!

kurama · 20/06/2014 22:52

Lol choccy! Everyone has a diff opinion! Nope never on an ic and only once out of 3 months of using cb digi. I have no cm thanks to clomid and sod all symptoms to go by..... The doc says I am ov-in as the cd21 test they did 5 months ago came back at 60 which he says is high Smile didn't do anything last month but I've got discusting cough syrup for this month and I wanna get another blood test to check up. Woooo last day of work tomoro till tues. Car boot on SundayGrinGrinGrinGrin
Hope everyone's good today Wink

Treaclepie19 · 20/06/2014 22:53

Aww that was nice of him kitty, you deserve it though!

cinnamongreyhound · 20/06/2014 22:55

Meant to ask earlier what is pink grapefruit juice for?

laurano81 · 20/06/2014 23:07

cinnamon Pink grapefruit is supposed to help increase cervical mucus Smile x

Kitty sorry your Doc was like that! Unreal! Go back again if it doesn't go away! Did you change your washing powder! I sometimes get hives when I get stress...especially on my arms...but tbh, it hasn't happened in a while! I say keep a log about it! When it is worse etc....Elave bodywash is very good for sensitive skin..fx it sorts itself out! Where did you get balance activ? I love the idea of using the mini shot glasses! Grin Genius! xx

Rainbow do you know anyone in the UK who could send them over to you? That might be worth considering! x

xBlueberry88x · 20/06/2014 23:18

I cant read back much on my phone.

kitty im the same with nights out usually in bed by 9 lol getting to old.

laurano gotta have lots more blood tests and a hsg to check tubes. Hes also told me to loose weight. Has scan on ovaries and theres no lumps or growths so gd on that side of things. Ive got till beginning of sept to loose weight and get all the various tests done.

Btw ladies I asked doctor about the ovulation pain I thought I had but he said the pain doesnt actually mean much. It doesnt mean or ovulating.

theonewiththenoisychild · 21/06/2014 06:31

af got me so taking my seat on the july bus. on the plus side. if i conceive this cycle little one would be due on my birthday Grin

Rainbow555 · 21/06/2014 07:40

Sorry the witch got you theone birthday due date sounds good though fx for next cycle! :) q

MrsExtraOrdinary · 21/06/2014 08:30

Morning ladies, haven't really been tracking my cycle at all and have no idea when af is due. 28 days would be the 3rd July I think, but last cycle was almost 6 weeks. Haven't been taking vits or testing ov. But have dtd yesterday and day before which sort of comes in the middle of a 28 day cycle. So who knows, I might even be in this month.

Stress levels have plateaued as we have a mortgage offer if anyone was unaware. My family home is in sight now Grin

Such a lovely day I hope you all have a great weekend.

KittyVonCatsington · 21/06/2014 08:41

Morning MrsE -yay for the mortgage offer-great news! Hopefully you'll be able to exchange in a few weeks how are the little fur babies-have you named them?! I'd love a latest pic please please please

Don't think my stress levels are high but my bbt temps are-one bloody glass of Sangria last night and my temp shoots up again!

DH is back from his school trip so he's all mine now

Interesting to hear how your hospital appt went Blueberry - positive news on the scan but it must be frustrating to wait for further tests. Hope we can keep you company till then.

cinnamon - pink grapefruit juice or even grapefruit juie helps to increase EWCM Grin

Welcome theonewiththenoisychild Sorry AF got you but maybe the EDD is a good sign?!

A beautiful morning ladies, let's make babies!!!

FoscarC · 21/06/2014 08:52

Yes! Let's make babies. I am way passed my ov this month but believe that practice makes perfect! However dh goes away tomorrow for work and is away for my poas and af date so plan to wait and see what happens and poas once he's home if no af. He is also away next ov if we don't get a BFP this month - which I doubt we will as I drank a lot and so on with it being honeymoon. We only see each other at weekends as I work away so who knows when we'll have the timing right again! So fingers crossed for this month.

Sorry to those of you who have had af and good luck to all those still waiting! Yay for march babies!!

scottishbride · 21/06/2014 09:10

Another "yum" for treacle's amazing sounding cocktail! But kitty I was also tucked in bed by 11, thought I might pounce on dh when he finally finished watching football but here I am, waiting to pounce this morning, ha ha, it's very hot though!!

Hello theone, join us for a March baby.

Great news about pink grapefruit, I love it but I haven't had any since ttc. I actually have pink grapefruit liquor, probably not the best!

KittyVonCatsington · 21/06/2014 09:19

Pink grapefruit liquor might work, but for a totally different reason Wink

FoscarC · 21/06/2014 09:23

Oh, and what's all the chat about cough medicine for?

theonewiththenoisychild · 21/06/2014 09:40

yeah thats what im hoping kitty its taken 4 years to get oh to the point where he wants another baby and i did say i wanted a baby for my birthday Grin dd was born near oh birthday. ds born near my birthday maybe its a birthday thing

Treaclepie19 · 21/06/2014 09:44

Morning all :)
The cocktails didn't work as I was too tired to dtd when I got home :/ and DH's Hayfever was really bad.
Oops.

theone, sounds like it's fate for this month :p

lavender20 · 21/06/2014 09:46

First post on the site! Hello! TTC#1, cycle 3 just started!

Treaclepie19 · 21/06/2014 09:49

Welcome lavender :)

KittyVonCatsington · 21/06/2014 10:54

Caugh mixture for same reason, Foscar as it helps produce more EWCM. Welcome Lavender !!

Choccywoccydodah · 21/06/2014 10:55

kurama that's interesting about clomid. I was going to ask the prof next Friday if they were going to put me on anything else now, I thought clomid might be an option although dh is not too keen. He just keeps saying what will be will be! After 6 mcs I'm willing to try anything!!
I think he's worried about me carrying a pregnancy that shouldn't have caught and we have to make a heartbreaking decision if anything is wrong.

I'm thinking about getting some epo today but will I be too late at cd9 if I'm due to ov cd15? I don't really know how it works.

And that twister cocktail sounds lush!! I had the lolly for he first time in yonks last weeks, so good!
Out with friends tonight so I'm going to have a few drinks which I don't normally :)

kitty liking the pink grapefruit liqueur thinking!! Where can I get me some, worth a shot (ha ha get it!!)

Welcome lavendar

lp2014 · 21/06/2014 11:00

Morning girls!

Treacle- your cocktail sounds amazing! I want one! Never mind about dtd.

Kitty- how lovely getting a bottle of wine! Well deserved! Thanks also for all the advice you have posted

HELLO to Mrsextra, lavender and theone! Birthday baby sounds great, theone! :-)

Happy Saturday! Xx
