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.

1More If your temps are still up in the morning, I would test again! Especially if you are stressing over it & are sort of in limbo land...is there any chance that the bleed you had for the 3 days, was implantation bleeding & maybe that is why you have cramps now!? Fx for you! If it was me I would POAS tomorrow with FMU! xx It would just wreck my head otherwise xx

laurano81 · 26/06/2014 23:45

That's great Treaclepie Yay! My temp went up today! Odd, I am only CD10, but I will have to see what it is tomorrow,...saying that I had a bit of a sore throat today, so maybe it is because of that! I saw this pic earlier & had to share! x Who else is guilty of this! Grin x

Good luck tomorrow Choccy, will be thinking of you!
Well done for the public speaking treacle! Couldn't ever do that! Give me a fanny to wax any day! Haha!
Kitty - I'm feeling surprisingly positive and calm at the moment. Ok not going to temp this cycle. Will do a hot in a week and hope my hcg has come down, then may start OPKs.

I've been advised not to DTD for at least 2 weeks. As soon as I've had AF (but hopefully I'll have a BFP before then) I'll go straight back to temping.
I'm not going to take any supplements other than maca - started that the cycle I got my BFP. Convinced agnus castus fucked me over. Don't want my body full of odd chemicals etc.

MrsE what's going on with you? Seems like you've had a bit of a rough ride. Think i missed what's actually wrong. Hope you're ok.

Girl at work announced pregnancy today. Surprise pregnancy too. Bitch! Lol! Wink

notoasthere · 27/06/2014 06:28

8dpo and I'm starting to get testers twitch.....it's a good thing I don't have any tests in the house!

Treaclepie19 · 27/06/2014 06:53

laura, my temp went up today too! I'm excited as if it is because of ovulation it might mean my luteal phase is longer. Fingers crossed!

Treaclepie19 · 27/06/2014 06:57

Eeek deffo to do with ovulation! My opk turned to a solid smiley too! :) should be 14 days til af arrives so as long as it plays ball that would be a textbook cycle!
or it will arrive in 10 days as normal
Hey Ho!

cinnamongreyhound · 27/06/2014 07:22

Ok so I did my fmu in a pot today as I have the dip in tests, to dip or not to dip?!?

spinningirl10 · 27/06/2014 07:26

Cinnamon yes dip the stickGrin

Good luck today Choccy.

Rainbow555 · 27/06/2014 08:56

cinnamon dip it dip it dip it!!

Have you dipped it yet??

Yay treacle for the smiley! fx for textbook cycle!
Hahah english not sure what's worse lol!

notoasthere · 27/06/2014 08:59

DIP IT!!!

FoscarC · 27/06/2014 09:08

Dip dip dip dip!!!!!

I am now cd31 and I think about 15dpo (although not sure quite when I ov. And still no af. But I could get it any day still. If it holds out another couple of days I will be poas. DH needs to hurry home so I can test. He desperately wants to be with me when I test. Managed to speak to him yesterday which was great and he got all emotional about the fact we may be having a baby. Quite sweet really. He's normally quite a roughty toughty chap and to see him well up at the prospect of being a dad made me love him even more.

I feel all rather normal. No really symptoms. Very sore boobs but that's it. And they are much more sore at the end of the day. But have been sore for about 10 days now.

I have looked through all the talk properly as have been a bit busy of late and trying to keep occupied so as not to obsess too much. Went to my sisters last night and she is due to have her second baby now. Due date was yesterday. Anyway. Sounds like a lot has been going on. I hope everyone feels ok. Welldone for the public speaking and for those who are getting good smiley opk faces and temps doing as they're meant to and dtd lots. And fx for those poas. cinnamon and news?

Cripes. Just need to hold on for 3 more days!!!!

Cpt1sock · 27/06/2014 09:20

Wow, so much to catch up on, you're a chatty bunch Smile

english, choccy, Nordic sorry you have all been through so much hurt. I hope there's some brightness in the future to ease the pain.

mamapo & sunshine hello & welcome, I hope your journeys are short and sweet, fx for BFPs!

mrse so glad you got your referral. My sister going through something similar with iron issues, she's got disease related anemia, her consultant being an arse, she's seeing her gp today so hoping he will push for her to be seen.

mrsginger hope your levels are reduced this morning

april your little trick with the herbs made me giggle. That's something I'd do, I have dizzy moments quite often. Well done for getting the brew down though, I can't do it, tablets all round for me.

laura glad to hear you're recovering. I've no idea how many days po I am. I had + opk on Sunday, cd10. But also got another yesterday which would be cd14 which we did nothing about. I did so much reiki yesterday and the last lady had v. Emotional reaction. I came home and crashed. I'm having a strange month emotionally too, think me and dh need to review our tactics! He's home from work early today so we'll have a bit of time before kids come home, hopefully catch the little eggy if we make the most of the weekend too. Hope your dh isn't too exhausted, bloody work getting in the way off ttc!!

treacle I love seeing those cheeky smiley faces! all systems go!! Fx AF will stay well away!

cinnamon DIP!!!!!!!!!

Sorry if there's lots of mistakes in that lot.

Have a lovely,lovely day everyone.

Xx

BrixtonBunny · 27/06/2014 09:20

Foscar am keeping everything crossed for you! Smile

Cpt1sock · 27/06/2014 09:25

foscar well done for not poas by now. How about doing a FaceTime/Skype poas event? Wink

gennibugs · 27/06/2014 09:40

Morning all

I've jumped from the June bus as AF got me today. I'm going to grab a coffee and have a good read back but hi to those of you I know (and don't know but soon will)

please can my stats be added to the list?

gennibugs ttc#1 cycle 8 bfp due 26 July.

BrixtonBunny · 27/06/2014 09:51

Morning gennibugs, hope your journey is a short one!

cinnamongreyhound · 27/06/2014 09:54

I did and bfn :( but af not due until Monday so we'll see. Haven't read back properly I'll be back!

TheGrandHighWitch · 27/06/2014 10:01

Sorry to see you here gennibugs in the best way I mean as you are of course welcome. I'll add you to the stats now.

cinnamongreyhound Dip it fgs. It really is wholly unacceptable making us wait this long Angry. You do know we are living viariously through your poasing atm? Grin

laurano81 Thanks for the fx. How am I feeling now? A distinct lack of pms symptoms tbh which I am not sure is a good thing or not as most of them are similar to pg symptoms too. 7dpo today and perked up a bit when I felt a little crampy on the right hand side about half an hour ago. The veins on my legs are very prominent at the moment and still having thick creamy cm so am a bit hopeful.

Vicariously I mean. Clearly I have lost both the plot and the ability to spell check my own posts.

Blueskygirl30 · 27/06/2014 10:04

cinnamon that sucks, but it might just be too early. I also poas this morning and got a BFN too, AF is due Monday or Tuesday for me. Im going to wait until Sunday or Monday now though.

Grand Im keeping my fx for you, all sounds very promising!

Thanks lauran, I get tested all the time it was the referral to the consultant haematologist I've been after for so long. The gp refused as wanted me to take oral iron but alas that ain't gonna happen ever again now Sad

Ahhh English I'm a winey old fish wife! It's a long story to the already stupid body I have coz of a stupid virus I had age 16, I've had an under active thyroid and been anaemic for 18 yrs. always managed okish but irratic, then dc5 with the enormous head, bless him?horrid pg, awful birth, followed since he was born with continual pain and yucky illness, lots of bowel surgery. During which time I couldn't take my iron. So I've had a ferritin level (iron store of between 7-11) the most I've archived is 13, for several years. Normal range is 12-150. what a ridiculous range but to feel tip top I need to be about 100.

I had my last surgery just before Xmas where they stretched my bowel all in preparation for me to be able to take iron again. I started a couple of months ago, so been on ferrous fumerate. Unfortunately natural iron isn't potent enough for me. I have a problem with absorption. So fast forward to last week, started to feel really unwell, but been v v stressed with moving house. Finally got mortgage in place last week, dss is in trouble at school, again I had a make or break meeting with my web team, huge work load, etc etc. By Friday I had gastroenteritis. Carried on feeling yucky, by 4.30 Monday I was In agony. Thought my stomach was going to explode. Basically I've got inflammation of stomach lining, hugely swollen, suspected ulcer. It's being managed with drugs, which are helping, but it's very painful. The problem with the drugs is they state do not take if ttc or pg. But I had no choice. I have to think of dc1,2,3,4&5!!

So we've dtd in the window and now I'm on these drugs.Confused I've had to review my diet completely. Gone cold turkey on WineBrew and basically nothing acid at all. My gm died of a perforated ulcer in her 50s so it's a wake up call really, to make changes.

Now I definitely can't take oral iron, I've been referred to a haematologist to see if I can have iron injections or a blood transfusion. I think that wraps it up.

Just annoying really and v v boring! In a selfish way as much as I want you to get your bfp ASAP, I'm so glad you're with us, we've missed you. Are you settling back into the uk ok?

cinnamongreyhound · 27/06/2014 12:13

Sorry gennibugs :( and hello :)

notoasthere · 27/06/2014 13:24

Aah sorry cinnamon maybe worth another try over the weekend

I'm exhausted - another 4.30 start and setting up playgroup/playgroup/lunch out with 4 toddlers has left me needing a nap just as much as my ds does!

laurano81 · 27/06/2014 13:25
