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.

I was wrong, it's around ovulation that it should be soft, high, open and wet then afterwards should be firm, low, closed and non wet.

Treaclepie19 · 29/06/2014 09:44

Sorry cinnamon cross post!

kurama · 29/06/2014 09:45

Morning everyone! Fx for everyone testing in next few days . I'm confused as I've hardly been eating past 2 months and for the past few days I'm constantly hungry...... Wtf is going on body???Confused
Repeats July is our month while trying to go back to sleep lol

Treaclepie19 · 29/06/2014 09:45

Also, yay TCOYF says that my temp could be the fall back pattern.

Fingers crossed.

FoscarC · 29/06/2014 09:45

X posts everywhere!! Fx for you cinammon.

I am sure that high cervix is related to ovulating. I saw a rather graphic website - can not remember where or how I found it. But it showed a woman's cervix each day during a whole cycle. And the cervix moved and opened more and you could see the different type of cm she produced. Very interesting if not a bit tmi. And I'm sure that once you are ready to conceive your cervix moves up and opens up a bit.

FoscarC · 29/06/2014 09:50

kurama I have also been eating like a horse the last week. But yesterday my appetite dropped off. This may well for me be a sign of incoming af though as I often lose my appetite the day before, and the fact that I was on honeymoon for 2 weeks and eating loads so am just still hungry. I am trying to not pin too much on symptoms as I don't want to get my hopes up. But if things have changed for you for no reason that's got to be a good sign!

KittyVonCatsington · 29/06/2014 10:05

Thank you ladies! Will keep DTD and just wait. did I mention I hate waiting

Cpt1sock · 29/06/2014 10:15

Hello everybody,

Sorry to those who have tested and got bfn, hopefully it's just too early.

Today I'm possibly 6dpo, yesterday I was getting stomach pains, not cramps more like sharp pains that go as quick as they arrive. I was also getting shooting pains in boobs,they aren't painful otherwise.

We moved away about 8yrs ago so yesterday was spent visiting which meant spending time with cuddly babies. A 4 month old and a 9 month old, I didn't want to leave them.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday. Dh is on call so we won't be doing too much of anything, I need to catch up on sleep I think.

Xxx

Rainbow555 · 29/06/2014 10:57

Ooh all these dreams!! I had a bfp dream last night too! I tested and it was positive and then I woke up! But it felt really real!
I love the idea it's our brains telling us blue fx!
I am beginning to realise that my 'early symptoms' are likely to be just how I feel around ovulation time...been nothing last couple days and the. Today I notice cm changes again...not sure if that is good or not?!
And I have read about the cervix thing but (tmi) no idea if I am feeling the right thing ahahah oh dear!
Good luck to those waiting and enjoy those who are DTD!

Blueskygirl30 · 29/06/2014 11:28

Cinnamon my AF is due tomorrow based on my cycle length of 26 days. However, I had my implant out in February and for the 4 years it was in I didn't have any AFs. Once it was out I waited 10 weeks for my first AF so this is actually only my 3rd full cycle since then. The first one was 25 days, the second was 26 days and this one...well I'll have to wait and see. Last month AF arrived 14DPO but I ovulated on CD13 compared to CD17 this month....so hopefully I'm just getting a bit ahead of myself. Either way I'll keep testing daily until AF turns up.

xBlueberry88x · 29/06/2014 11:45

foscar I used pregnacare a couple of months ago and ended up being 7 days late it wwas the only thing I changed so stopped immediately. Next cycle went straight back to 28 days.

Fx to anyone poas

spinningirl10 · 29/06/2014 11:53

Fx for you grandwitchGrin

Happy dtd'ing KittyWink

FoscarC · 29/06/2014 11:55

I took it last month too and had a 34 day cycle. It's 34 days tomorrow so we will see.

My sister has just had her baby. A little girl. I'm so so happy for them but it made my insides contract when she sent the photo through. I am only a little bit jealous madly madly to be honest I'm so happy for her after all the problems she's had. So there is a happy story for us all. After numerous mc's and a still born at 16 weeks she has a healthy happy little girl. Yay!!

Blueskygirl30 · 29/06/2014 12:03

Awe Foscar congratulations on the arrival of your niece! Not long til your POAS moment now! Keeping my fx!

FoscarC · 29/06/2014 12:18

Thanks bluesky. Fx for you too.

MissMrsMummy · 29/06/2014 13:33

Foscar was it Beautiful Cervix? It's really useful, isn't it. Not for the faint-hearted, though!

laurano81 · 29/06/2014 13:38

Welcome Mulberry, teadrinker & Janeytea Smile x

Foscar Congrads on the arrival of your niece! I am delighted for your sister after all she has been through! Your turn will come too x Fx you will get a shiny BFP tomorrow xx

Spinning I felt shattered after the acupunture! He mostly worked on my back, but he also worked on preparing me for ovulation...He said the sacral area of my back is all inflammed, and the sitting mechanism/muscles! He said by working on that he would also be working on my kidneys, womb etc...I was very sore yesterday! Let me know how you get on tomorrow with the reflexology! I do Reiki myself, so I love all alternative therapies x

Choccy Good luck & take care of yourself! Signapore sounds fab! (((Hugs))) x Fx you will get a BFP & be back to share the great news x

Grand your chart looks good Smile! It's very promising that the OPK got darker! YaY! Fx

Blueberry & Aprilray I'm glad I made you smile! Laughter is good for the soul & all that, but seriously I think I would lose the plot if I couldn't have a good old giggle! x

April & Kitty Any sign of ovulation?

Kitty my temps were Thurs 36.68°c, Fri 36.57°c, Sat 36.48°c, & today 36.51°c...I am on CD13, & I haven't ovulated...still waiting on my OPK's to arrive Hmm! My CM has changed to watery, & I can feel my ovaries starting to twinge! I have tried checking my cervix, but TBH I couldn't tell the difference from one day to another! It seems tricky!

MrsG I am truly sorry for what the doc told you (((Hugs)))..I really hope your HCG level continues to fall & you get a lovely sticky bean xx

Genni How are you doing? I hope you are ok xx We are planning a trip to Hungary in Sept, if I don't get a BFP in the next two months! I want to got back to the Gynae I saw there last Oct, seeing as I am still waiting to see a gynae here!

July Bus to BFP land with onward flights to Thailand at TTC Airport
BrixtonBunny · 29/06/2014 13:58

For everyone who has had problems with pregnacare - if you've stopped using it, have you swapped it for anything? Are you just taking colic acid, or a different vitamin pill? I've been taking pregnacare for 40 days so hoping it won't affect my cycle too much this month (expecting af/BFP next weekend) as my cycles are currently nice and short (23-26days) and would like to keep it that way!

Good luck to all & fx for some BFPs soon!

BrixtonBunny · 29/06/2014 13:59

*folic acid, even... Hmm

Blueskygirl30 · 29/06/2014 14:07

I've just been into town and bought a million pregnancy tests! Just to let all the POAS addicts (like me) know, if you didn't know already, Superdrug are doing buy one, get one half price on own brand pregnancy tests and ovulation tests at the moment. X

KittyVonCatsington · 29/06/2014 14:19

Hmmm... close, but not close enough, eh ladies??!!

Think I'll test again later tonight to see if it gets any darker. Come on little egg, make an appearance!!!!!

KittyVonCatsington · 29/06/2014 14:21

Brixton I'm just taking Folic Acid and keeping my diet varied to get other vitamins that way. Has made the world of difference to my cycle and EWCM.

Thanks Blue!! I know where I'll be going tomorrow Wink

BrixtonBunny · 29/06/2014 14:28

Thanks for the advice kitty - will wait and see what happens next weekend and if I'm late I'll swap to folic acid only! Out of interest does anyone know what it is in pregnacare which messes with cycles?

I'll definitely be popping into superdrug on my way back from work tomorrow! Wink

Wineandchoccy · 29/06/2014 14:46

Ouch my head hurts I am never drinking again, drank cider at a BBQ yesterday afternoon for a friends 40th then went to a house warming last night and had pimms and way to much wine.

Just had a mcdonalds and I think it will have to be takeaway for tonight Blush

I am taking sanotogen mum to be vitamins and I have taken seven seas vitamins in the past and my cycles have not extended with taking either of these.

KittyVonCatsington · 29/06/2014 14:58

Brixton I think it is just the extremely high doses of a lot of the ingredients, way more than other conception multivits and the fact we take them daily, rather than spread out. I got a lot of extra symptoms like nausea at odd times in the cycle, as well as extending it, every month I took it. it does work for a lot of people but i feel that if you don't get that BFP fairly quickly, staying on pregnacare long term can mess things up.
