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.

Oh bluesky I'm sorry. It really is shit isn't it. I am still waiting for it to start properly. No period pains and no more af signs.

English I really hope your levels drop and things start to sort themselves out.

cth I have no idea about charts I am afraid.

Right. Must stop going to the loo to check for af.

Cpt1sock · 30/06/2014 11:01

Morning,

foscar keeping fx for you, still sounds v.promising. I hope poas time arrives quickly for you!

april hope you peak soon!

spinning enjoy your reflexology! I love it. Before I had it for the first time I thought I'd end up kicking her in the face because I'm so ticklish, I didn't thankfully.

grand, cinnamon, blue and anyone else who's tested or testing soon! it's not over until the fat lady sings, fx for you all.

Well, I threw up this morning at 7. I couldn't eat and being in the kitchen sorting kids breakfasts & packed lunches proved too much. Once both dc got off to school I went back to sleep until 10:30. Still feel yuk but know I'm not going to be sick again. I have never been so excited about a bit of up chucking in my life. Think I'm 9dpo so it's more than likely something I've eaten or a bit of a bug not morning sickness although I was already being sick before I had a BFP with ds2 so who knows.

I need to get ready now, try to do something with the day.

Have a lovely Monday :) xxx

FoscarC · 30/06/2014 11:05

cth just read your post properly. You are not useless at all! That's exactly how I felt when 'the blob' came earlier. You are not not not useless. You are brilliant!!!

genni It must be scary going to see a specialist but at least things may be heading towards a plan and so on

cpt super excited for you. All sounds very positive. Yay!

Cpt1sock · 30/06/2014 11:06

blue sorry AF has shown her ugly,evil, bitchy face. What a cow bag! Fingers crossed for an end of July BFP for you. Xx

cth1982 · 30/06/2014 11:25

Thanks Foscar! I hope AF keeps well away for you - I think creamy CM is a good sign!

scottishbride · 30/06/2014 11:28

O foscar, I really hope it is not af. Sure I read somewhere that as a little bean gets comfy loads of mucus appears as the womb sheds loads of old cells - so that could be it. And the name thing was truly awful- I do think insane jealously is part of our female evolutionary selves to carry on the human race. I never get so jealous when people get new jobs or houses or even boyfriends!!!

I am really sorry others have af, and sorry I never seem to be able to keep up enough to write something timely, by the time I feel on top of things, I've lost it again.

Would like to say thankyou all for pink grapefruit advice, I did have some liquour, but also managed a litre bottle from tesco, and as predicted, got some ewcm, and it was day 13 so who knows. (I'm someone who is yet to plot a cycle or buy an OPK so no idea what this means!!).

BrixtonBunny · 30/06/2014 11:35

I had two (two!) dreams last night where is POAS and got a BFP. Even though I'm only 11dpo and af not due until weekend I thought I'd POAS - of course it was a BFN. Hoping it's too soon but not holding out much hope as apart from a few mild cramps and bloating (which could herald af) I've had no symptoms at all. Fingers crossed for lots of BFPs soon for all.

Foscar, it's not over till the fat lady sings! Brown cm sounds much better than full on red period, so hope you get a BFP later - you deserve it after your upset x

cinnamongreyhound · 30/06/2014 11:42

So sorry Blueskygirl30 :(

Glad the dr was positive gennibugs, a referral doesn't have to mean it won't happen naturally I'm sure.

I spotted a lot with ds2 FoscarC, I panicked the whole time until my 12wk scan but he's now a healthy 3 year old. Will wait to hear from you after 4!

Hope you feel better soon Cpt1sock, or maybe not Hmm

notoasthere · 30/06/2014 11:54

foscar keeping everything crossed

bluesky sorry af has got you, but glad you still have a chance to get a bfp on this bus

Things are sounding positive cpt

I have a pack of frers - so tempted to poas but will wait

ds is napping in the garden so going to have a cup of decaff tea and a sit down. Up at 5, washing, dishwasher and playgroup all done and dusted already!

TheGrandHighWitch · 30/06/2014 12:13

Oh no, sorry to hear that Blueskygirl30 hopefully you will get your BFP soon.

Hope af stays away for you FoscarC.

I am no expert in charts cth1982 but I think that if your chart looks like that then it does mean you didn't ovulate for some reason. I have been looking through the other charts on there with erratic BBT like mine but they usually show the line where ovulation seems to have happened. So basically i'm Confused.

For a laugh I tried the bleach test again and it frothed a lot more the second time. Probably a fluke though as I don't think it can really be classed as reliable Grin. Still it takes the sting out of this mornings BFN though. Hoping that it is too early but then aren't we all......

Cpt1sock · 30/06/2014 12:23

grand that's exciting. How many dpo are you? I've got no bleach or else I'd be acting the scientist. I do have a hpt but I'm waiting until next Monday to give that a whirl. When are you going to allow dh to get you a first response? Xxx

cinnamongreyhound · 30/06/2014 12:27

Oooo I have bleach, what's a bleach test?

TheGrandHighWitch · 30/06/2014 12:35

I'm 10dpo and it frothed quite a bit with smu and about a 2hr hold.

The bleach test is where you pee in a clean container and add equal parts bleach (I used an old specimen pot that was lurking around). Be careful not to fill half and half though or you risk it overflowing. If it froths/bubbles then it is supposed to mean you are pregnant. Mine frothed like a fizzy drink poured into a glass too quick but can't help but think it would react that way anyway due to the ammonia. Another word of caution, it does stink so maybe open a nearby window.

cth1982 · 30/06/2014 12:47

Thanks GrandHighWitch (awesome name by the way!) I the rocky pattern is as I have PCOS but from today backs wards is 18dpo (so FF told me!) and I had the sustained high temps until this morning - but in fairness my body could have been totally messing me up.

Doctor's have said I need to wait a year before trying to get any help but it does all feel even more depressing if I've not even ovulating!

Cpt1sock · 30/06/2014 12:47

Could you get dh to pee in a container so you can make comparisons? Haha my dh's head would spin if I told him about this trick. He shakes his head when I stick a cushion under my bum after dtd and that's gravity, who can argue with gravity?!

xBlueberry88x · 30/06/2014 12:48

Is it crazy (tmi) that I just went to the toilet and had loadss of ewcm (at cd12) and my first thought was to come on here lol.

I wish I had some ovulation sticks left to see if im actually ovulating or if my bodies playing tricks on me.

Genni dont be worried about being referred hun, I was so worried but it actually wasnt that bad (your mind makes it seem worse than itll be).
If could be the most simple thing that might help you and you'll kick yourself. The process takes quite a while anyway from doctor to being referred and getting through more tests. Feel free to private message if you like.

Sorry to any bfns and sorry foscar fx its not af

Sorry havent caught up properly im at work and people keep coming in.

FoscarC · 30/06/2014 13:07

Still nothing. No cramps, no more brown cm. nothing. I am now thinking maybe it was not the start of af. But what else would it be?

cinnamongreyhound · 30/06/2014 13:08

Well the scientist in me had to try a control so here's mine and ds's bleach test! It appears he's more pregnant than me Wink or perhaps his wee was more concentrated!

cinnamon that made me laugh. The things we do.

lp2014 · 30/06/2014 13:17

Hi everyone! Sorry been so quiet. Had a terrible bug sat and Sunday, still feel awful today. Worst sickness and diarrhea of my life.

Thinking of you all lots xx

MrsExtraOrdinary · 30/06/2014 13:33

Ooooo ip, you poor thing. Sad Hope you're feeling better now.

BrixtonBunny · 30/06/2014 13:36

Feel better ip Thanks

spinningirl10 · 30/06/2014 13:36

Lp sorry you've been poorly, hope
You're feeling better soonThanks

Cinnamon, that made me laughGrin

Blueberry, can you pop out and get an opk?

My reflexology session was lovely. For those of you who haven't had it she asked me to mark pain on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most painful. My high pain points were a 7-8 and were my ovaries, pituitary glands and hormones! She's a lovely lady and I'm going to have weekly appointments until the pain improves and then she recommends once every month or so. Feel very relaxed now and could quite happily have a napGrin

For any of you that haven't tried reflexology I would recommend trying it. Even if you only go once it will show up any trouble spots. I would look for one that specialises in fertility though.

lp2014 · 30/06/2014 13:36

Thank you. On the mend. Still can't eat. Just feel so tired and weak x

lp2014 · 30/06/2014 13:43

Interesting info on the reflexology, spinning. Thanks xx
