Wow congrats to Shetland, Phryn and Bitchpeas that's brilliant news to wake up to! Well overdue some bfps on the bus. fx to you too blueberry!

I'm just quietly plodding away on my 2ww at the moment, I'm 5dpo and not really experiencing any symptoms which I'm really pleased about. I've stopped taking the pregnacare from last month as I was feeling awful and so I'm definitely putting it down to those.

Aww Brixton I bet it's difficult not to worry, but I'm sure everything will be absolutely perfect! Relax, and good luck to u, I hope you enjoy seeing your little bean for the 1st time! :)

Sunshinesaz86 · 10/08/2014 10:11

Oooh ladies with BFP's can we have some stats? I do love the stats!

Thanks for the stats updates, I'm officially on the AF lost now, just for next time! The tww is so hard and long, FX for u!

Blueskygirl30 · 10/08/2014 10:11

Massive congratulations Phyrn and BitchPeas!!!!!!!!! This is amazing, so many BFPs already.....hoping for many more this month!

Spinning I've properly got my fx for you and am really hoping that when I check back later I get to see your BFP!

Jazzy have a read of the thread I linked in yesterday! it explains about the concept behind taking cough medicine. Basically it thins mucus, including cervical mucus as well as what you'd normally expect from cough medicine. The thinning of the cm is meant to make it more hospitable to the little swimmers if you don't normally get fertile cm, which I hadn't been. I'm actually amazed by the difference this cycle, although I have been taking evening primrose oil daily up until yesterday and have only been taking the cough medicine when I remember and even then only once or twice a day. I've stopped taking both those now as I got the positive opk.

Katybear123 · 10/08/2014 10:12

Mrs e - will miss u gd luck on sept
Spinning -do u know what dose of epo u take I've just added to my online shop and I can either have regular or super 1000 sort . Gd luck for later
Bluesky - thanks for the link cough medicine in online shopping basket
Kitty - thanks so much for advice will dtd tonight to make most of it. Glad u have been dtd lots. Brighton lovely
Phryn - congrats amazing
Blueberry - booooo that sucks I'm sorry :-(
Bitchpreas - woopy bfp Grin
English - I'm sorry for what ur going through. It's horrid sat yesterday all day with a preg friend and a friend with 2 children who spent the day telling me how easy it is to have children how the both feel 1st cycle and how generally conceiving is a piece of cake even though both were told they would struggle as 1 had end emeritus and the other fell on the pill!!!! I wanted to scream listen u fuckers b thankful it's not that easy for everyone grrrrrrr!!!!!

spinningirl10 · 10/08/2014 10:19

Katy, if you google epo when ttc it will tell you. I can't remember what dosage I have but I think it may be 1000. I'm out now so can't check.

MrsGingerbread · 10/08/2014 10:25

English sorry that you are having a tough time. Glad for the make up dtd though. Phew!

Katybear123 · 10/08/2014 10:31

Thanks spinning goggled and in basket online :-) gd luck today

sparkle17 · 10/08/2014 10:34

Ok so I actually have a genuine cough.is it ok to take the cough medicine that has been discussed after ov. I am 8dpo today!

Blueskygirl30 · 10/08/2014 10:43

Katy I've been taking boot own brand epo 500mg and they seem to have done the trick for me

Katybear123 · 10/08/2014 10:43

Hi sparkle I read the link and it didn't say u couldn't. The only thing it mentioned was don't take 1 with a decongestant if u r doing for cm as this dries it. I would ask the pharmacist

sparkle17 · 10/08/2014 10:46

I've just read the link too. I may as well buy it today for my cough and then I will already have it in my ttc armoury for next cycle

spinningirl10 · 10/08/2014 11:00

Just wondering.....if it was an Evap line will it disappear? When I got my bfp before my mc I didn't use ic's but I remember the line on the frer remained until I threw it away after a few days.

lindamagoo · 10/08/2014 11:05

Spinning I have my fingers so tightly crossed for you that they are almost breaking Grin So glad I decided to check in on you today Smile Please please please let it be your BFP

Katybear123 · 10/08/2014 11:20

Th ks blue sky, did it alter ur cycle timing at all? Some vits seem to do that and just wondering if these r the same?

ChandlersFarang · 10/08/2014 12:09

Fucking hell- take my eyes off you all for half a day and then the BFPs come like busses! Phryn, Shetland, BitchPeas... Amazing work, congratulations!!! SmileThanks

spinning like Kitty said I love it when a long-distance bus passenger gets a break!! Am also crossing everything for you GrinGrin

Katy - I hear ya! If I have to listen to one more friend waxing lyrical about their "one shag wonder" story I will scream!! Lolz!! Grin

So am getting much closer to the moment when you can kick me off the stats. Am 14DPO for the first time in my life thanks to the progesterone lengthening my LP!! Took a crap thai test and got a totally expected second BFN (am on Koh Tao now and they have never heard of FRERs - I honestly think thai women are patient as fuck - the most sensitive tests here can be taken THREE DAYS AFTER your period is due!?!?). Haven't taken any progesterone today and got into the most irrational rage with poor DH earlier! We'd literally just checked in to a beautiful beachfront cabin and I lost the plot about him wanting to read for 30 minutes before exploring. Stormed off in a totally uncharacteristic huff - realised something hormonal was afoot when I then saw two squirrels playing in a tree and it made me LIVID!!!! Pahahahaha!!! This progesterone is not to be taken lightly, lol! AF fully anticipated tomorrow, if not Tues. Will keep u posted for the stats!! Grin

Sunshinesaz86 · 10/08/2014 12:13

Haha!! Chandlers that just made me laugh!! Hormones make us do the most crazy things! Hopefully hubby won't mind! And FX for u, still in with a shot! Gutted that fact they don't have early tests tho........just to add to the suspense!!

Katybear123 · 10/08/2014 12:21

Thanks chandler and I too lol at ur post. Hormones r madness! Here I'm cd 15 clearly to early to symptom spot but the pulling in abdominal has lessened. It's more I think I saw someone say this a feeling in the middle of abs now. and now have a strange kind of shakeu feeling. It's like I have been running for 7 miles with no breaky. Wonder if it's a sign of well will have to wait for 10-14 days to know I guess! Off for lunch win in laws so will try to forget about it. Oh and I'm off wine to wired but don't feel like it but I have had that on cycle 1 and lead to nothing Shock

jazzyjenbo · 10/08/2014 12:34

Fantastic reading this morning girls! Congrats on the 3 bfp's and spinning fx for u.

Thanks for the epo/cough medicine tips, cm isnt usually an issue for me so i mite start with epo to help regate cycle.
I'm only 3dpo so still early days but getting a very heavy/crampy feeling and lots of ewcm??... Late ov or early pregnancy signs?
Dont feel much like dtd as i'm full of a cold.

alien11 · 10/08/2014 12:36

phew found the new thread :)
Right well ertd has arrived 27 days after mirena removal. so maybe this is the sign of a 'normal' cycle length?!

Thankfully its arrived and hopefully will go before I go on holiday !

Think I can be updated to: Alien11, 32, TTC #2, cycle1, BFP due ( going on this first ertd) around 10th Sept??

Pompatrol · 10/08/2014 12:38

Wow congrats bitchpeas phyrn and shetland oooh exciting spinning!
Sorry to everyone having a tough time. It pisses me off too when I hear people yabbering on about how easy it is to get pregnant... Idiots!
Hope the baby shower isn't too hard.

Turtle21 · 10/08/2014 13:19

Hi I've been lurking on this thread for a bit now and thought I'd tag along, im only 22 but been with my DP for 4years and had a MC 2012 and from then iv Felt a huge hole and a desparte need to fill that..but nothing has happened (i never used anything to help tho or work out when i ov'd like opk or anything) until now im doing the cb trial) I'm due to test 23rd of aug! So I'm tec' only 1dpo I think? I'm wondering if any one could help As am doing the CB trial (the one with just the monitor, not the one were I store pee LOL) and I got a peak yesterday(cd16) and one this morning(cd17) is that normal? And does it mean I ov'd yesterday or today? Am so confused as its tec' only my first time proper tracking and using something to help, I normally just go by the online catulators which said I should of ov'd cd14? I have a normal 29-30day cycle. Sorry if all that sounds silly to you ladies its just am not very up to date with it all lol and abit confused. Many thanks in advance if you can help x

jazzyjenbo · 10/08/2014 13:41

Welcome turtle and sorry for the mc, i know how u feel having mmc in january.
I used opks but found them confusing as never seemed to peak, i'm also a 29-30 day cycle and due to test on 22nd, my app said i ovulated on cd16 but i felt ov pain on cd15.. Earlier than usual.
If ur getting a peak then dtd and make the most of what maybe a late ovulation.
I would suggest starting to monitor your general symptoms... I can always feel ov pain and track cm.
Ru using an app or just going off google? I use ovia app and hav stats since jan so thats helpful, now cycle 7 for me which is the longest time ttc.
Dont be to hard on yourself, this bus is very supportive,Wink

spinningirl10 · 10/08/2014 13:46

Well I pee'd on another ic and it's a bfn, not even a hint of a line Sad I do have frer and Superdrug own tests but I am going to wait and test with fmu. As I said earlier, I don't feel pregnant.....I only tested because I am a poas addict Grin. How bloody frustrating that these tests have evap lines.....it was quite exciting for a few hours to think that I might be!
