DING! DING! The February bus is departing - destination Preggsville!

[PurdeyBirdie]

Are you trying to get pregnant this month? Are you sick to the back teeth of sex? Would you give your right arm for a BFP? Are you spotting symptoms like an anoraked geek spots birds? Then this is the bus for you...FEBRUARY CONCEPTIONS AHOY!

babybump Could I please be added to the stats? Thank you in advance TeenieDeenie, 34, ttc #1 cycle #1 (after mmc) Bfp due 21/2/15

Rhiannon, first of all, put some effing clothes on you slag (oh, soz..that's Rihanna, isn't it..) There really isn't a way of testing with dignity because there's urine involved and a certain amount of squatting over a bog holding a cup to one's flaps. With this in mind I would go the extreme route and start testing from 2dpo, even though your possibly-fertilised egg is still only a collection of four cells and is still bumbling its way down the fallopian tubes. You could then come here wailing and gnashing your teeth and telling us how your breasts have swollen so much they burst out of your bra, blacking the eyes of the Mothercare delivery driver who has come to deliver your pram (which you ordered yesterday at 1dpo).

Teenie, I am sorry you suffered a mmc. They are evil

Hahaha @purdey
Nearly choked on my wheetabix laughing at that!

Lol Purdey just laughed in the work kitchen at that. I now look crazy oops!

purdey too funny. I can also confirm that 1) I did not embark on Tammy Lil last night and 2) being a Siamese twin is extremely difficult.

Welcome to the new joiners. This is one crazy ass bus!

I'm sitting at work having a quiet giggle at Purdeys post. I just know I'm going to remember that when I poas!

purdey you do make me laugh! My husband is far from a dwarf, he is technically a giant. We've tried and failed a few times during my fertile period to squit the sticky stuff, but tiredness, stress old age and pressure generally leave everything a bit deflated. The things I share on MN!

winterbaby for you and for your daughter. Xxx

boris thanks lovely..
I don't mean to make anybody uncomfortable when I mention dd dying, & I'm also not looking for sympathy...I know I didn't have to say this as most of you will know that already, but I do feel conscious when I talk about it that somebody might be thinking 'here she goes again'..
But I wouldn't be trying to conceive #3 had she have lived, so she's a big part of me being here.. on this crazy ass bus ..
I thought I'd seen the back of opks, military timed sperm deposits by DH and the ridiculous amount of £ spent bloody pee sticks.

Anybody else cd3 and counting down the days til DH's sperm becomes more precious than gold?

Hi everyone,

Well on top of the fact the whole Kelsingra household has this flu-type lurgy (hence my lack of involvement) I regret to announce that I have to give up my seat at the front of the bus and scuttle off down the back.

AF has arrived on CD23! 5 days early! WTF is that about? I am usually so regular - 28 days. last month was 25 days but I believe I had a chemical pregnancy which caused this. no idea what is going on this month!

anyone else had randomly short cycles out of the blue?

So those at the back, squish up! I'll try not to pass my lurgy around and will attempt to die quietly in the corner.

New stats are: Queen, 30, TTC#4, Cycle 3, BFP due around 22 Feb I guess?

You definitely aren't making me uncomfortable, nor do I think there she goes again. I think you gave a lovely, poignant, example of family life. We should be able to be here for each other, for what ever is going on with our journey to build our families, in our rawest state. You've been through something so massive, I really hope for you your journey on the bus is smooth and pain free. X

queen my last cycle was 16 days... No idea why! Damn annoying but this month I'm back to normal. Hope the next cycle is better for you.

accidental and crazypug hooray for the redheads! We shall populate this bus with little ginger sproggies!

Winter, I echo what Boris said. I hope I didn't patronise you with my last post. Was your daughter born sleeping?

winter please don't think you make anyone feel uncomfortable. I had a big sister who died in infancy. I've always felt her to be a big part of me as, like your impending bean, I wouldn't be here if she hadn't died. When people used to ask me about the big age gap between me and my big bro, I'd feel bad mentioning her because i'd worry people thought I was fishing for sympathy but if I didn't I'd feel I wasn't doing her justice. Your loss is huge and will permanently shape your family both existing and future so talking about it should be as natural as talking about either of your ofer DCs.

Thank you! Did my digi this morning and it puts me at 1-2 weeks!

Obviously I'm very happy but also a bit nervous I've found out so early, I found out at 4 weeks with DS1 and it seemed like forever until our 12 week scan which finally calmed my nerves (a little bit!)

I hope that my early BFP is a good omen for anyone else as PP has said!

purdey not at all!
She was born via EMCS & was resuscitated, responding after 17 minutes & several shots of adrenaline. She was too badly damaged through the lack of oxygen though - zero brain activity, although she did open her eyes on day 2 by some miracle.. she wasn't responsive/didn't blink..but I got to see her eyes which was a blessing because I know not everybody gets that..
Bloody NHS were amazing..apart from when they sent a letter afterwards apologising for the 'incident that occurred' - meaning the birth & subsequent death of my dd.. I'm quite a factual person but felt that wording was a bit insensitive I felt..
Eeee once I start chattering I can't stop ha!

queen sorry that af came so early! Hope your next cycle is more regular for you.

boris thank you again, I appreciate the kind words xx

allstopped brilliant news! Yay for the digi!!!

winterbaby please feel free to talk about your daughter as much as you like, don't apologise.
teacher ooh thanks for that I shall go google...

I'm a bit puzzled as ovulation day (not sure why but when I say that it reminds me of coronation day from Frozen and I start singing ) should be today but when I wipe I have blood tinged mucus - now I'm not sure whats going on! I got a smiley on the CB Digital on Sat afternoon so we DTD on Sat and Sun gave last night a miss but wondering if it's worth trying tonight too or if I've missed the boat/egg completely?

ibeka I'm sorry to hear about your sister..thank you for sharing..
That's exactly how I feel - not mentioning her would feel like I'm doing her a disservice..only once have I answered the Q 'how many children do you have' with 1.. It was bad timing & didn't have time to explain.. God I felt guilty afterwards.

I hope this month brings lots of lovely bfps.. We bloody deserve it :)

blondie thank you.

Hopefully Saturday will have done, but no harm in DTD still.. Hope somebody comes along with a better answer! Xx

Hi all!

I don't think my body is behaving as it should :-( I'm cd9 and I've got whatfeels llike ov pains! Mind you I have had a uti since cd3 and been on antibiotics since Thursday. I don't ov til 15 or 16. Wanted to give my waterworks a nice break to heal before dtd and was even thinking about not ttc this month! Plus thinking why am I bothering if dh's sperm is so bloody awful :-( depressed.com

Wow Winter what you just said about you getting to see your dd's eyes...I have never considered that some poor parents don't get to see that. Please feel free and comfortable to talk about your dd as much as you would like

Oh Winter you certainly should never feel bad about talking about your lovely DD 'toI much' .

I think you speak about her beautifully.
