You are more Than welcome to stay here, notoast but most tend to jump straight onto an Antenatal Club thread. There will most likely be a March one already, but if not you can start one (hoping to be joining you of course!)

Well! This morning's DTD was a right comedy of errors Grin To be fair to DH, we have been doing the dead daily since last Thurs and the weekday ones have been 5.30 would much rather they were honeymoon daily ones instead a la Foscar so we are both knackered.

Normally, would have stopped by now but seeing as I don't seem to have ovulated yet, I took my temp and it rose but only by .1 to 36.39. So I tapped DH on shoulder and said my temp still hasn't risen so can we bloody hell whatever happened to sexy talk and he did try but couldn't. So I asked him to have a shower and try again. 45 minutes later of chaos and finally Grin My temps and BETTER rise tomorrow or I will be like the Hulk!

Interestingly, I wonder if it was stress that delayed my ovulation? The bloody examination board OCR decided to play silly buggers on Monday and release a statement that all Computing controlled assessments would be withdrawn with immediate effect and all current Year 10s would have to re-do new ones from September, that's 40 hours of their work gone! Spent Monday panicking and shouting at OCR and social media finally, they have retracted it. But I do wonder if the stress played a part... Love it though. 5,000 angry teachers + social media = results Grin

spinningirl10 · 02/07/2014 17:11

Cpt, good luck with house, sendin positive vibes Grin

The pregnancy journal is a fab idea, wish I'd done that with mine. Good to look back on if you have another baby as well!

KittyVonCatsington · 02/07/2014 17:13

doing the dead!!?? F@ck me, that's a new one!! DTD obviously Grin. I blame stress

Treaclepie19 · 02/07/2014 17:14

Hi all :)
Will read back properly in a bit.

6 dpo here and hoping my little bean is implanting.

cinnamongreyhound · 02/07/2014 17:15

Hi Broodylicious,sorry to hear about your mc and welcome!

laurano81 · 02/07/2014 17:21

Misty Hi again! You were on the June bus if I am correct x

Kitty & Treacle ((Hugs)) x I know how hard it is! I sometimes look at my son & wonder what his twin would have looked like! I always say happy birthday, happy Christmas etc xx I believe those that we have lost never leave us, that includes our little beans xx (((Hugs))) Fx we all get to see those 2 lines x

MrsE What wise words full of love & comfort x Thank you for giving us all hope x

Sparkle Hi! Smile! OMG that is great 17 BFP's on the June bus! Yipee,...let's keep it going x

English I love your view on life! I too try to be positive, as much I can! I believe we create our own reality, so I keep saying to myself "I am pregnant" Smile! You will get that icing on your spectacular cake x

Bluesky I am glad you are feeling better! I get down too when AF arrives x I am on my second month of taking agnus cactus. Before I started it I was ovulating CD18/19..last month I ovulated CD 17, & my luteal phase lengthened from 10 to 13 days! I am sure that not everyone would agree that it has helped them, but it has helped me so far! I got an almost +opk earlier, & I am on CD16. I feel that I am about to ovulate at the moment, ovaries are twitching both sides, I have discomfort & my tummy is tightening Smile! It will be interesting to see how my luteal phase is this month x B6 is also known to increase the luteal phase! fx

MaMaPo I use Opk's, in conjunction with watching cervical mucus & temping! x That way I know when I ovulate, so we can ensure we DTD & it helps during the 2WW, when I am questionning what dpo I am etc! x Fx You get a BFP this month & you won't have to worry about all that! Smile x

Sorry about the BFN's Nordic, Cinnamon, & Brixton but hang in there! x

KittyVonCatsington · 02/07/2014 17:30

Hi broody long time no see Grin Let's hope July is both our months considering what we went through back in Feb. How are you? Lots and lots of supportive hugs coming your way. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

lauran your OPK looks like mine did on Sunday-good sign! Get DTD but keep testing too Grin Let me know if your temps concur as I'm sooo nosey!

I second what everyone said Foscar although I have no direct experience. I had to cancel my midwife appointment before I got to go there. However, it must be really strange to go for the first time Grin Thank you so much for your advice Grand Soooo helpful and one of the reasons I value Mumsnet and you all so much!

Welcome roastpots hope your journey is a short one.

Hi hanflan hope you and your little bean are doing great!!

Sorry to those in Limbo. I've been there. Waiting is the one thing I hate about TTC!!!

KittyVonCatsington · 02/07/2014 17:36

shit! Just read back, lauran you lost a twin?! I'm so so sorry!! Thanks You are extremely lovely, helpful and so caring on these buses and it must be really hard for you, bringing up horrid memories. Can I have interest you in a Brew and Cake with me?

notoasthere · 02/07/2014 17:42

Thanks Kitty - going to ride this bus to see how you all get on with a massive set of pom poms to cheer lead with!

laurano81 · 02/07/2014 17:47

Welcome Roastpot & broody

Rainbow Fx lovely lady for a BFP! I hate the end of the 2WW as well! I too feel like I am driving myself crazy! x

Grandhigh Fx you get a shiny BFP in the morning! x

MrsE I hope it's pregnancy hormones making you all emotional! x

Siarie Yay! Ovulation is on it's way! x

Cpt I love the pic! x I am glad you are feeling better x Fantastic news re your house! yay! Sending you postivie vibes x love & light x

April I am glad you enjoyed the acupuncture! I am always shattered after it! Smile x Your temps are really high! Yay! I really think you did ovulate x

notoast & *Spinning& I want to breastfeed this time around! I was 21 when I had my DS, and there wasn't enough support to breastfeed! My mum didn't breastfed either, so I had no one to turn to for breastfeeding support. I really regret not breastfeeding my DS!. I am older & wiser now I hope hehe! , so I defo will be giving it my best shot! x

JaneyT there will never be a perfect time to TTC! Follow your heart! What will make you he happiest! x

I love the idea of a pregnancy journal! I actually saw one in Mothercare & I was half tempted to buy it x My DS always asks me questions about when I was pregnant with him! I wish I had a journal when I was pregnant with him...I do have a pic of my enormous bump at 37 weeks,..3 days before I had him!

laurano81 · 02/07/2014 17:57

Kitty I had a bleed in the first trim, but then it stopped. My mum said she had bleed with my brother, so not to worry! x Anyway my scan showed my DS & I was relieved! However I was told it was a twin pregnancy, and that there was a demise of the other twin. Sad x I am lucky to have my little man! Smile he's 5ft 2 & catching up to me That was 12 years ago & I have learnt to live with it! I often though get a sense of surrealism about it x I would love some Brew & Cake! Yum soul food! x BTW my temps were 36.02°C today & 36.01°C the day before...I will let you know tomorrow if they go up! x

KittyVonCatsington · 02/07/2014 18:04

How gutting for you. You are inspirational, you know that?!

Those temps sound lovely and low. Hope you're ovulating right now!!

laurano81 · 02/07/2014 18:30

Oh I am not! I am super embarrassed Blush Blush Blush ! In fact we all are truly inspirational & fabulous! Grin We keep each other going & that's what matters x

< I accept wholeheartedly anything chocolate >

lp2014 · 02/07/2014 18:32

Oh Laurano! Sorry to hear that. You are an inspiration.

Well I've not tested yet as advised by you lovely ladies. Still no appetite- not sure if to do with the bug from the weekend or potential bfp. Probably bug i know! Although today i noticed my nails are stronger than ever- potential sign? Boobs usually very sore week leading to af but no discomfort at all. Or am i just going loopy?

broodylicious · 02/07/2014 19:21

Thank you all for your lovely welcomes Smile

Hi again kitty yep we can do this!!! July is our time!!! How are you getting on? It's so hard getting over a mc isn't it? Things were very tough going for me if I'm honest (which I am!) I bled for 12 weeks after so I was a total mess. Feeling much stronger now though and ready for plenty of TITH!

On this day three years ago, we conceived our dd; we were in Hamburg for the boxing, I spent the entire weekend like a drunken English person abroad, which is not at all like me and I think we were both so relaxed that it just happened. I'd not at all worked out I'd be ovulating that weekend and so turned into a sexual demon with all the champagne cocktails inside me! Let's hope the July thing works for us again!!

laurano81 · 02/07/2014 19:22

Hi I did another OPK at 6.30..I think it looks darker? Smile or is it me! Which do you think is darker...the horizontal or vertical opk? x Thank you x

Lp2014 oh fx you get your BFP! My boobs get sore pre AF too, so Fx that your lack of sore boobs is a very good sign x I am glad you are feeling better..it will take a few days for you appetite to come back after being sick! x

MrsI86 · 02/07/2014 19:22

The wait is driving me crazy this month. Can't believe I'm only about 6dpo. Starting to desperately search for symptoms but none spotted so far (I know it's too early really but just can't help myself).

Fx for a bfp for grandhigh and all others who are poas tomorrow!

Good luck finding books foscar. I have what to expect before you're expecting and find it very informative and easy to read, so hopefully the pregnancy one is just as helpful.

Nordicmom · 02/07/2014 19:25

Laurano sorry to hear about your loss!
Sorry I haven't otherwise cought up . So I thought the cb was a blank this morning but later noticed I very faint line on it . Did a frer a while ago and it was neg . Does anyone have experience of evap lines on cb tests ?

Wineandchoccy · 02/07/2014 19:27

Sad I've just got home and opened today's post and I have a letter inviting me to ante natal classes you would think the health centre would update there bloody records AngrySadAngrySadAngrySadAngry

grand I hope you get a BFP tomorrow

Welcome to the new passengers I hope your journey is a short one.

lp2014 · 02/07/2014 19:28

Thanks laurano!

Im.not sure about the sticks- hard to say! Sorry, not much help xx

laurano81 · 02/07/2014 19:34

Nordic I haven't any experience of evap lines or even faint lines on a CB sorry! Fx it is an actual line, not an evap x Sorry I can't advise you any further x

MrsI I usually don't go crazy til 8dpo! Smile then time seems to go by so slowly! x Fx your little bean is implanting x

Broody I'm sorry you went through so much x (hugs) Fx July is a lucky month for you & for everyone aboard the bus Smile x

notoasthere · 02/07/2014 19:39

Laura I'd say the horizontal was a very nearly positive opk - I'd be going for it dtd wise tonight, tomorrow and the next day at least!

laurano81 · 02/07/2014 19:50

Thanks Notaost Smile the horizontal one is the one I took at 6.30, and I did the vertical earlier today at lunchtime x We DTD CD 12-16 & will defo continue for the next few days! Fx it will work x

Nordicmom · 02/07/2014 19:51

Wineandchoccy I'm sorry you got that letter :(. It's happened to me too and it was really upsetting !!!

lp2014 · 02/07/2014 19:55

That's utterly crap wineandchoc! Xx
