I'm ok thanks Kitty. So nice to have so many people here who are in relatable circumstances. So much easier to talk to people who know exactly how you feel! I've got one more baby shower to get through next weekend and then they're all done.

Is the Inbetweeners any good?? Really want to see it!

KittyVonCatsington · 10/08/2014 21:57

I laughed so hard watching it I had tears-sounds like just the tonic you need Grin

Might have to go see it this week! Could do with some serious giggles!

Thanks Sunbathing - it really wasn't so bad. I'll just be glad when I'm not surrounded by pregnant people. They're harder to deal with than the actual babies!

Hey lovelies. Been away for the weekend in Brighton and seems I've missed a zillion pages!
Sooooo, lovely husband man and I DTD before I left, approx CD13, think I ovulated whilst away due to temp drop but didn't take OPKs with me as I thought it was too much faffing to do!
Anyway, I don't know if we timed it right, if I officially ovulated or any of that fuh-schizzle but it appears I'm not on the wait for AF too! :-)

kurama · 11/08/2014 00:14

Linda I honestly have no idea ....but I won't need to find out coz I will get that bloody elusive BFP!

MaMaPo · 11/08/2014 04:24

Hallo all again. Sorry to hear of AFs around the place but at least some Bfps!

I'm on CD10 of my first cycle tracking temps and using opks. Given short cycles I've been using opks since the end of AF on CD5, all negative so far (can just just see a line if I squint). Temping is unlikely to be helpful as I have had a sick toddler who's been keeping me up at nigts, or waking me early. But I will persist with everything, trying to get some more action from my husband, and see what I learn. Hopefully something!

ChandlersFarang · 11/08/2014 04:41

xBlue am really sorry to hear AF got you! But don't forget to take the positive from this cycle that you ov'd!! Grin It really is just a matter of time. You're a cycle closer now at least!!

I cheered myself up with a rare steak and half a bottle of Malbec on Saturday, and then me and DH had a raging rum and coconut session at a beach bar last night dancing to breaks - was so fun! Quite enjoyed not being preg! We've discussed, and from now on the (hopefully now 28 day) cycle rhythm will be - CD1, get smashed up together GrinWine, then two weeks of hospital appointments/juicing/sushi, plus joining him on our old hardcore exercise regime - then the TWW where I go down my own path of chilling, yoga and waiting. So it's all planned out, only a baby can mess that up! Smile Wonder how many times we'll go through this routine...?! X x

MrsGingerbread · 11/08/2014 06:02

Blue I'm so sorry about af's arrival - we all had very crossed fingers for you. However, with the ov you are a giant step closer! Hope you are okay - relax and enjoy yourself!

Chandlers That sounds like a great plan. Hopefully you don't get to do it much though :)

Has anyone got any fun random symptoms that we can spot?

My hair still feels greasy (despite feeling squeaky clean) and the left side of my left boob hurts. Only 5dpo today, so hoping soon it will have worked along to be all of my boobs to make SYMPTOM! :)

Who is next to test?

camrywagon · 11/08/2014 06:23

Hi all, I'm proper late to this bus but wonder if I can hop on board cheekily? First ever bus and post here but I've been lurking for what seems an age and we're officially TTC now - ahhhh

I'm 29, TTC1 and on first cycle - AF/BFP due 20th ish August.

Already symptom spotting (not sure it's biologically possible!) with my list consisting of: back pain, stomach twinges, lots of saliva, tiredness, excess urination and I think I may have mauled my tits into them hurting...

Reading that back I could probably add a touch of delusion to my list!

MrsGingerbread · 11/08/2014 06:59

Hi camry

Welcome! :)

I love a symptom spotter! It's my favorite hobby for half the month.

KittyVonCatsington · 11/08/2014 07:04

Hi camry Hope those symptoms mean you are upduffed!

I have no symptoms other than excellent high temps that show I ovulated! None of this slow staircase rise either...temps jumping straight up .2+ places straight away and rising further since Friday. V happy Grin

kurama · 11/08/2014 07:34

spinningirl10 · 11/08/2014 08:17

Morning......it's a BFN for me on a frer this morningSad it must have been an Evap line yesterday which sucks!!! Had a cry on dp after his 12 hour shift last night, he wasn't very understanding and I've woken up with puffy eyes.....not a good look.

Anyway big thanks to all of those rooting for me, I love you ladies, you help keep me sane in this mad process......onwards to Sep bus soon.

lindamagoo · 11/08/2014 08:21

Aw spinning I'm gutted for you Sad but your not out yet. Please don't lose hope, it will happen when the time is right xxx

casiopeia · 11/08/2014 08:26

Hi ladies, AF came few days ago so I am out this month, roll on cycle 4, I will be joining September bus soon.

Fx there is lots of BFPs for you who are still on August waiting list xx

spinningirl10 · 11/08/2014 08:32

Thanks Linda, haha that's what dp says! I say we need to dtd moreWink

spinningirl10 · 11/08/2014 08:36

Katy, sorry your feeling down, it's frustrating when they're not up for it Thanks

Kitty, yay for high temp.

Chandler, I'm loving the rum and coconut beach party.....can I join you? GrinIn fact I think we should have a penis dragon beach party!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 11/08/2014 08:41

Yay for the high temps Kitty!

Genuinely gutted for you Spinning!! I so want you to get a BFP soon.

Welcome Camry Smile

First flashing smiley today, cd13. Hope i don't get loads before it peaks. Positive OPK before cd16 would be nice!

gennibugs · 11/08/2014 09:30

Morning all

spinning grr to the bfn. still you're not out yet so fx.

kitty glad you are having a good cycle!

katy sorry you are a bit down. It's so hard sometimes.

english I hope you get your fixed in good time.

I'm 1dpo (I think) so into the 2ww gaaaaaah! though I had a lot of cramping on my right this morning. DH thinks we should dtd tonight just in case (even though we are both knackered) Grin. We'll give it a go I think just in case! Now that we've made the decision to go to a clinic for testing if no joy this month I feel surprisingly relaxed about it all. Though give it a few days and I'll be obsessing over every twinge, vein and nauseous feeling :).

KittyVonCatsington · 11/08/2014 09:33

Jeez spinning how heart wrenching for you. To be so close is an extra blow. I was really really hoping this was it for you Sad So sorry you had a rough night too-have a gentle me day today, if you can. (((hugs)))

I hope this is a good pre-ov sign for you too English my lovely. May baby here we come...

BrixtonBunny · 11/08/2014 09:39

Spinning it's not over yet! Frers are actually less sensitive than superdrug tests, maybe get one of those and try again in a couple of days? Fx for you xxxx
