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!

dizzy earlier than usual AF spotting is the symptom that has prompted me to test in both my pgs! Exciting!! Will you still hold out until next week or test sooner?

heir is that the deliciously Ella recipe?

sarky keeping everything crossed for the morning!

A pancake party night? wow i need to be in your social group.

I am hoping it will be a mix of pancakes, booze and dancing! Might as well make the most of the fact I can't start TTC yet and enjoy myself a bit :)

A pancake party night? wow i need to be in your social group.

Strange double post..

Booze and pancakes sounds like my kind of night. YY make the most of it!!

I will do :) hopefully I won't be able to partake of the booze for much longer! Fx crossed for you tomorrow sarky

Good luck for tomorrow Sarky ??

Is it tomorrow yet, sarky? Almost. FMU. Isn't there such a thing as first midnight urine?

'Im defo sick of sex lol' Come and eat some pork scratchings on t'bottom deck o't'bus, lovemylittlebear!

I have much to catch up on. I have missed you all

Ok normally hormonal imbalances and unreasoned crying happened before Cd1 but here I was tonight CD4 and cried my eyes out when OH called me lazy. Wtf! I can be emotional and was pathetic in my last pg. Thought I had grown a pair....

Tessie, I'm good thanks, been busy and finding it hard to keep up on here but I'm still popping in and out cd6 so I shall peeing on ov sticks from Sunday as I usually get a positive around cd10. How are you doing?

Missmrs, Yep I deffo get more cm with them. They worked quite quickly I think but I've been taking them for over a year so can't really remember

Did someone mention Deliciously Ella I'm sat in bed reading her book, I just love her recipes!

Austral, tomorrow is perfect timing! What CD are you?

Knit, I saw your photo and all I could think was where the bloody hell you r left hand had been. Looks like it's been up a cow's poo pipe!

Ricicle, your back only kills at the end of pregnancy when your 9lb sprog is leaning against it having a fag.

Anyone eating pancakes with lemon and sugar can do one to the bottom deck. Filthy whores.

Crazy, sorry I scared you. Ignore me until you have reason not to

Twinks, you make me laugh.

Boris! Minion! I'm loving the unabashed bourgeois!

purdey don't worry you didn't scare me. I knew as soon as the lurgy hit that this month would be a write off. Although we did manage to DTD more than I expected. Even if it does come early I won't worry unless it happens again next month.

Thanks purple good to know someone else has had a random chart! We'll just have to see what happens.

On a side note, I've had pork scratching with a few drinks tonight which puts me on the bottom deck I think?

Oooh pork scratchings!!!! I so want some!! Symptom?? Or symptom of being on new year's diet..?

Hee hee, when you lot up there hear our pancake pans fizzing with butter you'll all be down on the bottom deck. It's going to get squashed, especially with all the Bfp ladies sprouting bumps....

TakesTwo no, a random one from the internet with peanut butter in it! Couldn't be arsed in the end so went with banana ice cream instead (the cheaty blitzing frozen bananas version!)

So I wanted to ask a question - does anyone else find that their DH/DP sometimes fails to perform at the right time? Happened to us tonight, and I want to be sympathetic, and I understand pressure is not helpful, but frustrating! I think I'm past my most fertile point anyway but trying to make sure!

heir yup. Had the same a few days ago and then the day after. Wasn't sympathetic the second time and stormed out on him and Harry half mast.

Catching up on three pages!...

Purdey yep smep all the way...! No AI tonight ... Tomor we are on! And hoping I see some action on the OPKs too!!

Victoria I really really hope for a surprise BFP for you, you deserve it so so much

blondie men! My dh is the same, eh nah sorry I can't just switch it off out my mind for two hours let alone two weeks!!!..meanwhile he's off in his own little world ha ha fingers crossed for you!

Heirtotheiron Mmm yes I do love an avo cacao mousse!! Is this from honestly Healthy by any chance?! Spinning I think this would be up your street. I may or may not have had courgetti for tea tonight ...

Winter I found temping stressful at first as I thought it focused me even more so on TTC than already was if poss... However now I honestly love it as I think it's a great insight to what's going on and really useful so I would recommend it! But hopefully you will get your BFP this cycle and not need to even consider it!

sarky massive amounts of positivity and luck sent your way fingers crossed for you tomorrow.

night a pancake party?! Whatttt?! Is this a new thing?! Either way I love it. Nutella for me. (Or healthy nutella if I could be bothered making it but also know I'll get a right slagging off you lot if I mention it.... Ooops too late .... )

Oh and I most probably will cook them in coconut oil...

Missed you too Purdey pal!

takestwo tis only a symptom of being a commoner

winter I've only started temping this month and it's taken till now (CD23) for my chart to really mean anything but it's nice to have a bit of an insight into what's happening. I'm hoping it will make more sense next cycle but it's just nice reassurance atm that I have oved. Just waiting to see how long the luteal phase is now

purdey tonight it will be then! Again. After yesterday morning. And the day before. And the night before that. And so forth.
Alas I don't have a cycle day because that relies on having had an AF already to establish a cycle day!

Hullo hullo.

sarky, so exciting! Awaiting updates.

Who else is next to test when the bus finally departs?

CD13 here and just waiting for ovulation. CBFM gave me a peak yesterday so I've stopped testing as it automatically give you Peak, Peak, High after the initial peak reading. Luckily after my husband's stage fright he's, er, perked back up again. We'll try to DTD again for the next 2 days, depending on how we're feeling given we're off to Sydney for a funeral. :(

My temps are being weird though. I'm all suspicious. Having to get up at 5.30am for our flight tomorrow won't help though.

I'm also having ongoing left side ?ovulation pains. I'm really very suspicious. It's been going on for a couple of days.

Then, once ovulation is confirmed by temping it'll be off to get my bloods done. The GP wants 21 day bloods but given my last cycle was 22 days that'll be a bit tricky! She gave me a couple of referral forms and suggested I get bloods done at 3 and 6DPO - anyone got any ideas as to whether this is the best approach? I've never had a cycle shorter than 22 days but am I likely to see a drop in progesterone is AF is only a day or two away? To be frank I'm not 100% sure what the 21 day bloods are looking for.

Eumic I have reported you, be gone with you crap.

heir yeah we have that issue. Lots of pressure of having to perform doesn't help. Never happened before we started ttc.
