The continuing Pregtober bus where we all take crack epo!!

[spinningirl10]

New bus ladies, hop on

Ooh it's the Bake Off final tonight! I love that, if my student try's to talk all the way through it telling me how he could cook better I shall have to tell him to be quiet! he is apparently fantastic at everything and according to him could do far better than anyone on strictly come dancing! And yes he's serious

I love Bake Off! But I watch it recorded on iplayer the next day (no tv licence) - PLEASE CAN I MAKE A PLEA for the results not to be discussed until tomorrow evening? hehe

Ohh that looks like good news for Alien!

She just posted saying she did another one today and it was bfn :(

Morning all!
Oh I agree I won’t watch bake off live tonight either as DH plays football and we watch it together (pair of old losers that we are!). Please no spoilers tonight!

7DPO here. Feeling a bit nauseous but I think its tiredness (toddler awake a bit in the night) and the fact that I had my work appraisal first thing this morning! It went well though, it’s a bit nerve wracking coming back after a year’s mat leave but my boss is very happy. Hopefully he’ll be equally happy when I hopefully tell him at some point another baby is coming .

FF thinks I should test on Sat/Sun, when I will be 11 DPO. I think that is too early really but I will do it as I’m going away with my friend and I will need to know whether drinking is ok!

Ah that sucks for Alien, horrid to get a bfp one day and a bfn the next.

Ok no bake off winners chat

Does anyone pay for ff? Just wondering what extra bits you get

Whoo went on holiday for a week then couldn't find you guys, this bus moves quick lol
No news really, fairly certain I ov yesterday, but could have been earlier (can you tell I'm new to this!) have an awful cold which is making dtd interesting
Now I will try and catch up on the 100s of pages I missed so I know where we all are!

Morning ladies, wow, up to 6 pages since yesterday pm.

13 DPO and absolutely shattered today as I woke up early with AF like cramping. Took my temp and have had a Massive dip which means AF will arrive tomorrow. I actually went to bed last night in pajama’s with a hot water bottle and thick duvet thinking if I kept warm I would get a high temp – silly I know. Actually had a little cry for the first time since cycle 2 as I am just so disappointed and frustrated by how long this is taking.

The talk about stress is interesting, it is something that worries me. I also have a very stressful job and find myself resenting it because it always ends up being particularly stressful around ov time. I do ov though and it is good to know day to day stress doesn’t have an effect on TTC. I was listening to the Zita West relaxation for fertility CD- listened to it so often I practically had it memorised.

DH has downloaded it onto my phone and laptop btw so if anyone is interested PM me and I am happy to post it to you. It did help relax me and it is fairly short so easy to fit into a busy day.

Blueberry so sorry to hear that AF arrived, I really hope Clomid gets you a BFP on your next cycle, you have certainly waited a long time.

Spinning I cannot wait for the bake off final. I usually go to my dance class tonight but am going to give it a miss to watch the final – really not in the mood to dance anyway. Plan to stuff my face with omg your student sounds annoying! You should get him to make you a cake if he is that good…

Sorry to hear that April, sometimes I think it’s healthy to just let go and have a really good cry. Just wallow in it for a bit. Hugs to you.

Spinning I only have free FF. Interested to know what you get if you pay!

Sorry to hear of your temp drop April, I have just been through similar myself and it's so disappointing to see.

I paid for FF for one month, you get a few extra things...you can click a button to bring up charts similar to yours. You get an extended graph which also highlights your symptoms per day so you can look back on them. There is a fertility analyser which tells you the number of people who got symptoms same as yours on same day. It tells you when to use hpt and a few other things. I found it ok and it might be worth trying for a month but I didn't renew my subscription as it was quite expensive for what you get.

Aargh 10 dpo and a bfn on a cb and I'm dying of around the clock nausea... It's absolutely evil that it could just be my illness causing it since I've had a cold for a while and it's drained my body . It's uncanny how it started at 7 dpo and hasn't stopped since only feels worse... I've had enough

Nordic could just be too early? Hope you feel better soon

Where did the bfp fairy go? we need her to come back!

Cd14 and I think I may be 1 dpo, so the tww starts here. Planning to keep on dtd a couple more days just in case. We have dtd cd 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 so far.

I had fairly strong lines on icopks the last couple of days and my temp has increased this morning. I've noticed absolutely no ewcm though, despite taking tonnes of epo. We used conceive plus though (but not consistently) and soft cups. Used the last soft cup last night though, and my new ones haven't arrived - does anyone reuse them?

Afternoon Ladies,

November bus is like a ghost bus so boring!!

Spinning I take it from cd2 till cd6 and then I will have a scan around cd10 ish to see how many eggs (if any) have developed. If its to many they wont let us try this month, it there isnt any they will up the dose.

Ladies which lube is better apparently clomid dries you up (tmi) so may need some help lol

Thanks for all being so lovely I will still hang around because my bfp is due early November so may get it before!

Blueberry is back! come stay with us, I am sure eventually this will turn into a Pregvember bus anyway ;)

That sounds good re the scan - at least you can see actual evidence of eggs! Hope there are just the right amount

(I haven't tried any lube so can't offer advice re that sorry!)

Oh the total irony of Clomid drying you up!

We've been using Preseed these last two cycles. It feels nice (cold at first!), a bit more 'runny' than other non-fertility lubes that I've used.

Whether it has worked its magic though I don't know!

So AF has definitely arrived which obviously means I am out this month. At least it means the wtf cycle is officially over!

Good luck to everyone for your bfps. Hope not to see you on the November bus.

Haha you ladies crease me up.

Want I will stick around on both buses, I need you all to keep me smiling!!

Jackie I know right its stupid and the sperm safe lube is bloody expensive!

Purple Sorry AF arrived

Sunbathing just LOL....to be honest I havent looked will have to investigate.

Thanks ladies. You are right Jackie, I always feel better after a cry, better than holding it in. Plan to wallow on the sofa this evening and then it is onwards and upwards.

I have just entered my details online for a Pizza Express voucher (three courses for £13.75- bargain!) and they ask how many children I have - talk about rubbing it in! There wasn't an option that said 'this is a sensitive topic and I am working on it' so I had to put a big fat 0.

Hi and sorry to purple and everyone else who has now got AF

That's an impressive record of DTD lordy! I'm CD11 and only managed it once so far as both a bit under the weather with colds etc plus OPKs still definitely negative.

Blueberry good that you get to try clomid this month. Fx it works for you. I was wondering when you said they won't let you try this month if there are too many eggs developing... I think I would find it too tempting to keep trying anyway. Twins would be fine, mind you probably wouldn't choose to have more than that!

Afternoon all.

Sorry to hear some of you think AF is imminent.

I've found the chat about stress interesting - I suffer very bad stress and anxiety due to my job and I'm convinced it must have an effect. whoever commented that work always seem worse around the crucial time is spot on!!

cd15 here and still no positive opk. I'm feeling very crampy though and have loads of ewcm. DH has announced we shall dtd every day til cd20 as "he's sick of those bastard sticks are their lack of lines" lol

For anyone does ic opks - roughly what time do you do them? and do you make sure you are a bit dehydrated beforehand?

Not suggesting you should do that BTW blueberry and I admit I know nothing about clomid. More that having started and finding it tricky, I would now find it difficult to stop TTC even for one month.
