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.

treacle it only takes once.... And laurano glad you are starting to feel better :)

Rainbow555 · 24/06/2014 04:02

Oh and just read about lube being counter productive to the little swimmers!! Yikes! Shock

Can't find any preseed etc in my town so will have to order online, won't be here for this cycle so fx DH has some strong swimmers.

Trying not to worry, DH was like 'well why do ppl use contraception then if the lube kills them? It will be fine"

Bit gutted, we do everything possible and then find out the lube is against us!!

KittyVonCatsington · 24/06/2014 05:59

I found out that saliva is also against us, Rainbow and DH was most upset about that one! We have compromised as he likes the foreplay and I'll rub lots of conceive plus on him before action stations Wink

notoasthere · 24/06/2014 06:07

Morning all! Hope everyone with sore bits is feeling ok this morning

I'm meeting a friend today I haven't seen for 2 years - we had a similarly large gap between seeing each other a few years back then we met so she could tell me she was pregnant - I wonder if she will have news today!

MissMrsMummy · 24/06/2014 07:29

Can I just say... If you need ewcm just get yourself some Sainsbury's Adult Chesty Cough Syrup (bargain)!

I used this yesterday for legitimate reasons (not crazy TTC reasons) and this may be tmi but AF is here and I got loads of EWCM after just one day...also it started working straight away on the cough and loosened up all the mucous (sorry).

I tool 2 x 5ml teaspoon 3 times yesterday.

Rainbow555 · 24/06/2014 07:40

Yes kitty I read that too! DH also not that impressed! Will just have to keep fx as we have used both Wink oops!

spinningirl10 · 24/06/2014 08:32

Morning ladies Grin

Af has arrived so I'm boarding the July bus for my spring bfpGrin

I come with homemade scones and clotted cream....yummy, tuck in ladiesGrin

Spinningirl10 ttc#3 cycle 12 bfp due July 20th

Ahh cycle 12!!! I can't believe it's been that longHmm

MrsExtraOrdinary · 24/06/2014 08:43

Hi spinning I'd love a scone, alas I better not. Blush Sorry af got you. Cycle 12, you are hardly getting started! Don't feel too glum. Spring babies are much nicer anyway Wink

MrsExtraOrdinary · 24/06/2014 08:48

.....and thanks everyone for your lovely kind support yesterday. I actually thought I was dying yesterday morning. I'm feeling a bit weak and sore but 100 times better than I was. Smile

kurama · 24/06/2014 08:51

yay spinning scones! !! jam and clotted cream and ready to go Grin my mum made diff rum truffles for my sisters bday and a load are in my fridge.... dh keeps telling me off for eating themAngry

Cpt1sock · 24/06/2014 09:29

Scone & clotted cream mmmm, lovely stuff! I will partake in a virtual one I believe virtual calories are perfectly fine, although knowing my bod, I'll still gain bloody weight just typing clotted cream!

Morning everyone, hope everyone is feeling better today.

My body is being strange this cycle, I'm wondering if it's to do with weightloss. I think I got a +ov test on Sunday cd 10, period tracker has me down as ov today, I've had - test but ewcm. I feel like I've got AF pains today. So far we have dtd on cd7,11 & 12. If I did ov on cd 10, have I missed the boat? Is it possible to have + ov test and not ov until days later with - tests in between?

I feel like I've just not taken this month seriously because of my wobble at the end of last week and that I've just wasted a month.

Sorry for whining!

Xx

Aprilray · 24/06/2014 09:59

Morning,

Glad you're feeling better today MrsE

Welcome aboard Spinning, sorry AF got you but hopefully the July bus will be a lucky one for you.

Cpt If you did ov on CD10 I am sure you are fine if you dtd on CD11 and there may well still have been some swimmers around from CD7 Smile

I am now on CD14 and still getting low readings on my monitor, my cycle was 33 days last month, think it is getting longer - fx for a high tomorrow.

TheGrandHighWitch · 24/06/2014 10:03

My husband was also unimpressed about the saliva thing (not that that applies to him anyway lol). I suppose if you are so inclined then a good compromise would be to avoid it during the ahem crucial timeframe so to speak.

I absolutely love scones with clotted cream and jam. They would in fact make an excellent breakfast were it not for the fact I don't actually have any in the house probably a good thing.

Do any of you ladies have any experience of spotting? I am currently 3/4dpo (dependant on whether I ovulated late on cd13 or early on cd14) but had some pink/brown discharge on wiping after using the loo this morning. Trying not to get my hopes up as it is so early but am sure you all know what symptom spotting can do to a person. Other 'symptoms' include nausea off and on all day yesterday (to the point where I vomited after breakfast) and am a little nauseous today. I have also had some mild cramping over the last few days.

FoscarC · 24/06/2014 11:34

Ooohhhhh grandhigh, it's so hard isn't is. You don't want to get your hopes up but it does sound like good symptoms from what I've heard. To be honest I know nothing about this getting pregnant business being a complete newbie. So not sure actually how it feels, if you feel anything at all. My big sister knows within a day that she is pregnant! But my little sister had no idea until she missed a period. It's horrid having to wait and trying not to get your hopes up. I keep thinking on one day that I am defo going to get a BFP and then the next think that there is no way I can be pregnant. But I suppose we just have to wait. I am now cd28. Af normally visits around cd29-30 but had one random af on cd26 and one random on cd34 over the last year so who really knows! Dh keeps messaging and asking about my 'af' and being very supportive but it's hard him being so far away this first time. And I don't know when to poas. I'm meant to be going on a training course on myofascial release on the 5th July and it says in big Capitol letters NOT APPROPRIATE FOR PREGNANT LADIES. So think I need to test before then (unless af gets me first which will of course answer all these questions for me!). However not seeing dh until after the course and he want to be there when I test (if I even need to test!). Hmmmm. I suppose if I haven't had af by the 5th July I probably am pregnant. Only a few more days to push. Getting impatient. I am
Not used to having things out of my control!

Anyway!!! Scones sound yum!! Am sat at my desk very hungry and there's no food in the dept. And I'm drinking decaf coffee but trying not to be too obvious in my sudden swap to decaf. I think I'll have to just stop drinking any sort of coffee. I just love coffee (and gin).

cinnamongreyhound · 24/06/2014 12:36

Hi spinninggirl10, I'm new so not seen you before.

Afaik sperm hang around at least 3 days if not more cpt1sock so you should be good I reckon, plus you've got 24hra from ovulation too.

I was VERY sick with both mine TheGrandHighWitch but neither started until 5 weeks but that doesn't mean it can't be a symptom for you, otherwise no advice. I'm the same though, had a strange pulling feeling behind one of my nipples and thought that could be something happening!

I had been to the dr about 3 weeks before dh decided he would be happy to try for a 3rd as I was getting horrible cramping post ovulation. She said it could be the coil or me but this is the first month without one and I've been fine. Making me a bit worried that it had somehow stopped agreeing with me which is a shame as I loved it as a form of contraceptive.

Cpt1sock · 24/06/2014 12:52

Thank you grand and april think I need to relax a bit! I'm sure I will the more I learn.

grand sounds like you've got exciting symptoms! I've never had any post ov spotting but sickness began v.early with ds2. I'd already been sick daily for days before I missed AF. Fingers crossed for you.

kurama · 24/06/2014 13:01

fx for you grandhigh Smile I decided to start using opks again today. might as well use the ics I have....

Stepawayfromthezebras · 24/06/2014 14:19

Hello everyone :)

I've got loads to catch up on, you're a chatty bunch! Hope everyone's OK. I'm currently on CD 12 and day 5 of flashing smileys on the CB digi OPK. Unlike any other cycle as I usually get 1 or 2 days of flashing smileys and then peak smiley around CD 8 or 9. So I'm hoping that the fact this cycle's a bit different is a good thing. Roll on solid smiley tomorrow!

lp2014 · 24/06/2014 14:29

Hi girls! I am going out of my mind symptom spotting! I need to chill out! Xx

Cpt1sock · 24/06/2014 14:33

Hi stepaway are there different cb digi ov tests? Mine just has a blank circle or a smiley face?

FoscarC · 24/06/2014 14:37

lp2014 how long do you have left to wait until poas time? Just try and relax. Take a deep breath and remember that what will be will be.

Not much help really is it!!! But it's what I am desperately trying to do!

cinnamongreyhound · 24/06/2014 14:40

Is that because of chemicals used FoscarC? I did a first aid course when pregnant with ds1 that recommended you didn't do it if you're pregnant but I was only 9 weeks and I think it's more because of rolling around on the floor but it wasn't my first one so I knew what to expect. Wrt testing I personally couldn't get a positive until after I'd missed my period but it didn't stop me poas! So I probably would have already done it if I was you!!!!

Cpt1sock · 24/06/2014 14:40

Ahhhh yes, I googled. Will give flashy face once a try when I run out.

Treaclepie19 · 24/06/2014 14:51

Hi all,
On cd 13 and had a flashing smiley today and slight temp rise. Will definitely be dtd tonight!
Not long til this bus takes off properly :)
Hope all are ok. Thought I'd pop in while report writing... procrastinating
