I'm the other way sunshine - I'm second cycle after having my coil out. My first was 28 days bang on, but I didn't track when I ov'd. This cycle it was cs15 or 16 so it seems I'm on track for a slightly longer cycle this time - or a very short one, depending what this blood is?!

Katybear123 · 08/08/2014 19:13

Snap this is cycle 3 off the pill. No rhythm at all yet. Worked on last cycle I have 25 day cycle so day 12-13 I guess could b right. But am also of a mind they may b slightly longer so dtd till day 20 ish just in case. Shetland do u get ewcm at all sorry for asking such a personal q Shock

Shetland · 08/08/2014 19:57

Yes I do katy but not so much that I'd really on only that as a sign. I use a CBFM too.

Sunshinesaz86 · 08/08/2014 20:32

Well FX for u Shetland it's hard when it's a bit of a guessing game isn't it?! Cd20 does seem a bit early for AF for me but again coming off the pill can do anything I suppose? Only time will tell, if this spotting doesn't turn to AF I will hopefully know sun/mon!

If your DTD right through to cd20 Katy hopefully you'll be coveted and FX u get your sticky bean! :)

Hello all, old and new dragons. Am hovering back on the bus, maybe on the step?

Ttc 1, (whoever thought it would be so hard) 32 this month, trying since April, May 2013, mc march 2014, then a wee break to get my head sorted.

Been hovering but grateful to kitty and you all for support. On cycle two since starting again and feeling quite grumpy with it all!! As has been said many many times before, all these years trying not to get pregnant and this is what happens. Have been with dh since I was 16, married at 22, so over half life on pill. Bit of a grump just now but thought I would say hello and wish you all well. The dragon support certainly helped me last time round.
Hope it's ok to hover!

KittyVonCatsington · 08/08/2014 22:19

Hover away allthequeenshorses Grin We can take your mind off the hell that is ttc, with our witterings-you can be sure of that!
Have cut off my first night in Brighton early due to being soaked to my skin but I don't care as I got the best ever opk I've ever had, earlier Smile
At about 2pm, just before leaving I piac and you know when the pee spreads up the stick? Well the second line appeared before the dye got to the end! The test line was so dark, after 5 mins it was almost black! CD13!!! A full 6 days earlier than normal!
Even if I don't get a bfp, it is an amazing feeling to finally get a 'normal' cycle. Come on body, ovulate soon!!!!!!!

MrsGingerbread · 08/08/2014 22:30

Hello ladies!

Sorry to all of you in limboland - the tww is tough isn't it!

At 2dpo (so before possible implantation) I have been busy doing things I hope I can't do again for a long time because I will be pregnant. :) Including a lovely pink steak mmmmmm!

I also had a smear today. The nurse said fine to do early to mid-cycle of ttc, apparently lots of ladies ttc miss them - so maybe something to try and pack into our already packed schedules of temping, dtd and poas!

MrsE another vote for the BabyMad thermometer here.

Happy humping anyone at that stage! :)and happy weekends!

Katybear123 · 08/08/2014 22:36

Quick q to anyone does ur temperature Spink at ovulation this evening I have got v v hot for no apparent reason is this a sign?

CoffeeOne · 08/08/2014 22:52

Evening ladies. Well AF arrived today so I'm hopping off this bus. Thanks all for the support. I'm feeling positive and chilled so shall enjoy my little break with a nice cocktail or two. Good luck for august!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 08/08/2014 23:03

So glad for you kitty. It's the sea air I tell you! Ds came back drenched to the skin. Thought he'd fallen in the sea. Laying in bed with the balcony door wafting a breeze through. Oooo it's lovely.

Think dh has finally persuaded af to come out of hiding. Hopefully.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 08/08/2014 23:16

Kitty that's awesome news!! I'm off to investigate these soy thingy ma-jigs!

Sorry AF has got a few of you.

Hi AllTheQueens, hop back on the bus when ever your feeling ready. Mc does really fuck with your body, head and emotions. Hope you get your sticky BFP very soon.

Blueberry, all sounds promising for you!! Smile

MrsE - I don't envy you and all this mortgage bollocks! Moving house is soooo stressful, no wonder AF is keeping her distance! Hope she mans up and makes an appearance soon.

kurama · 08/08/2014 23:25

Apparently I confuse my dr.... How does she think I feel???Confused Af is as normal today so I'm out till sept now. So 2weeks ago 4 days of weird spotting a prob pos ov 7 days ago according to bloods and now af. 52 days since last proper bleed and round 6 of clomid starts tomoro. I hate my body and hope my app for specialist comes through soon!!!!ConfusedHmm

EnglishGirlsReturned · 08/08/2014 23:29

Oh Kurama that sucks!! But at least you're now out of limbo and can give this cycle a good go! Fx this one works for you!

Kitty - read about these soy isoflavones..... Besides the worry stuff about potentially increasing chances if oestrogen dependant cancers, the TTC info seems pretty good! Think I'm willling to give it a go for a couple of months.
What ones do you take and how much?? Smile

Treaclepie19 · 08/08/2014 23:34

Yay kitty that's brilliant! :)

Kitty, MrsE and English, ive had the best day!!! Met Charlie Simpson :D
(Sorry, I know I shouldn't come on and just gloat but it's nice to be in a good mood!!!)

ChandlersFarang · 09/08/2014 06:13

Katy you can test with a FRER from about 10DPO... Some women get a BFP that early - I can't remember the stats but it's less than 50%. Goes up to 88% if you wait til 12DPO, which is when I tested.

I never get EWCM! You can get a synthetic equivalent instead - TTC lube - to help the swimmers on their mission up the lady channel... Wink we use BalanceActiv, you can also try Preseed and ConceivePlus.

Shetland and Sunshine you both sound like you're on the right path!! Smile

Aprilray · 09/08/2014 06:16

Looks like I am officially off the bus. Was woken by cramps and low and behold AF has arrived. Was expecting her seeing as DH was away during ov. Looking at positives wasn't expecting her until Tuesday so get a 3 day head start on my September BFP Smile
Good luck ladies I will be lurking hoping for lots of BFPs xx

spinningirl10 · 09/08/2014 06:30

Morning Grin

Kurama, April and coffeeone sorry af has arrived for you all ThanksWine

Kitty, yay for +opk. Busy weekend for you Wink

10 dpo here. Boobs seem enormous but they are often bigger before af so not counting it as a symptom.

Anyone poas today?

spinningirl10 · 09/08/2014 06:31

Allthequeens, sorry to hear about your mc. Hope you get your sticky bfp very soonThanks

ChandlersFarang · 09/08/2014 06:32

Gah sorry to hear that April! I know it fits the logic of not having DTD'd, but still, there's nothing like news of an immaculate conception to cheer up a bus of ladies TTC GrinGrinGrin. Good luck in Sept!! I'm over there on the new bus too already. Am 13DPO so will stop taking the progesterone tomorrow, AF will then appear by Tues I guess.

Will be keeping a foot in both busses until then!! Grin

Shetland · 09/08/2014 06:38

Welcome (back) allthequeenhorses Sorry for your loss.

Yay for a very positive opk kitty :)

Sorry about AF coffee and april

KittyVonCatsington · 09/08/2014 06:53

English I've saved a lot of info in Soy Isoflavones on my iPad at home. When I get back tomorrow, I'll paste it on here. In the meantime, Tesco do a cheap own brand of 40mg so you have to take a few at a time. I went to Amazon as I'm not near a Tesco and got some 50mg ones. I'm on my phone but I think I pasted the link near beginning of this thread or end of last one.
Sorry for AF coffee and april - treat yourselves today and bfn sucks chandlers Sad
Hope the weather is better today mrse! The seagulls have sure as hell woken me up Grin waiting for DH to wake so I can pounce!

KittyVonCatsington · 09/08/2014 06:58

Okay. I'm obviously too old. Who's Charlie Simpson? Grin

ChandlersFarang · 09/08/2014 07:21

Kitty that's EXACTLY what I was thinking!! I'm way out of touch over here. Who is he Treacle?!

Loving your pre-meditative pounce plans Kitty... How long before you wake HIM up?!Wink

EnglishGirlsReturned · 09/08/2014 07:32

Charlie Simpson is from Busted.... I think! Glad you enjoyed your evening Treacle! Smile

KittyVonCatsington · 09/08/2014 07:36

Ooh, just googled which one it was english thanks! Is he still as good looking treacle?!

Still waiting to pounce...might go and make myself look ravishing so he can't resist Wink
