March bus for those of us who drive right on through feb without stopping!

Hope nobody minds, Thought I'd start a march bus especially for those people like me who skip feb out due to it being 28 days and having a 32 day cycle, or those already kicked off the feb bus. But all are welcome expecting bfps in March!

Found the jan bus was a great place to be to discuss the madness that is ttc!

So welcome aboard! Grin

Shinysparklythings 29, ttc#1, cycle 2, bfp due 1st march.

Thanks cariad, I suppose it won't hurt to give them a go. What does bfp stand for?

lucieloos · 15/02/2015 16:56

I really hope you are one of the lucky ones genni, you really deserve it! I shall indeed be boring you all with the highs and lows of my ivf eeekk! Our best chance yet!

Welcome to the newbies and sorry to the ladies who have just joined us from the February bus. Xx

I'm really struggling today. I've been okay for the last few cycles but I have found today really tough. Had a little sob and dh has popped me in a hot bath to cheer me up, bless him.

CoffeeTwo · 15/02/2015 18:57

Hi all, those of you who do temping, do you do it continuously or do you have a break during AF?

CoffeeTwo · 15/02/2015 19:04

Sorry you're feeling blue ginger ttc is really tough isn't it. I really didn't expect it to take this long, but it's the not knowing isn't it. Will this cycle work? Will I still be here this time next year? Will I need treatment??

Glad your DH is looking after you. I'm off for a hot bath too.

auroraboringalis · 15/02/2015 19:08

Just wanted to say hi to new people and sorry for AFs being so nasty. Sorry to read about everyone feeling down. May kittens come and curl up on all your laps! Grin

nightandthelight · 15/02/2015 19:08

I too am off for a hot bath! Great minds think alike :)

Flowers ginger

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 15/02/2015 20:14

Coffee I think it's ok to take a break if you want.

CoffeeTwo · 15/02/2015 20:23

Aurora I have no kittens to cuddle but I do have lindt which helps Grin

Thanks Purple I have long cycles so definitely have time to get several pre ov temperatures recorded.

I've got a good feeling about this bus ladies, bring on the bfp's!

BabyBumpHopeful · 15/02/2015 20:37

CoffeeTwo This is my first cycle temping and I think I'll do it for an entire month so that I get a good graph going.

Time will tell whether I continue to do it all the time, after all once you know what your cycle looks like you shouldn't need to do it all the time... but in the event I don't get my BFP soon it may be a good thing to give my docs as a "hey here's what my cycle looks like" kind of way.

Boosk · 15/02/2015 20:46

Welcome southy, you'll learn so much hanging out here. I like using opks and I temp as well. Good luck Smile

PS. BFP = big fat positive (on pregnancy test).

Boosk · 15/02/2015 20:49

Hi coffee, I temp all month now. The first few months I did have a break around af time but I'm so used to it now. I occasionally skip the odd day if I've slept badly but try to keep it up around ov.

Boosk · 15/02/2015 20:52

Right stats time..

Boosk, 34, ttc1, cycle 7, BFP 13 March.

MrsGingerbread · 15/02/2015 20:55

Thanks ladies. :) Doing okay now.

Has anyone seen Into The Woods? It's about a couple desperate for a baby, it was a great film but a bit too close to home maybe.

I temp all the time too. I find it helps to stay in the habit!

Boosk · 15/02/2015 21:02

Hey ginger glad the hot bath did you good. I was so emotional after af arrived this month. It's taken a few days to get over the disappointment this time but today has been better. Thanks Thanks Thanks

Southy84 · 15/02/2015 21:04

Thanks Boosk trying to understand all of the different terms Smile been feeling pretty down recently so thought it may be good to join and try to be more positive! Nice to hear others experiences, thank you. Fingers crossed for good news in March for us all

MrsGingerbread · 15/02/2015 21:05

I know that we aren't ttc yet, but can we talk bum pillows, please?

Do you guys do 0, 1, a folded one, 2, think it's all rubbish, slowly rotate after dtd etc...?

loopylou1984 · 15/02/2015 21:33

Lol - mrsG, your post made me smile as I've tried several different options with the bum pillow even though deep down I'm pretty sure it makes no difference!

Currently I'm favouring a slow rotation to put my legs on the head board with one folded pillow under my bum! Xx

juneybean · 15/02/2015 21:47

Getting to the important stuff on this thread I see! I'm gonna try for 3 pillows!

MrsGingerbread · 15/02/2015 21:58

Apparently if you raise too high swimmers might get stuck 'behind' the cervix? (Google said).

Some people try a slow rotation on to each side and their tummy to coat the cervix. I might try this this month. I will call it The Kebab. :D

juneybean · 15/02/2015 22:00

Ooo what like turning over in bed? Such an exact science

CoffeeTwo · 15/02/2015 22:08

I'm well up for trying The Kebab this month Grin

dojo123 · 15/02/2015 22:20

mrsg we have gone back to the one pillow. We tried 2 but my tits ended up by my ears! and was really uncomfortable so went back to just one.

Don't know if I'm temping right at all. My temp seems to vary quite considerably and I am also not sleeping very well so not sure on the accuracy.

BabyBumpHopeful · 15/02/2015 23:31

I don't do any pillows but do lie either on my back or side. Apparently useless as they all would have started the journey from "takeoff" but I do it for 15 mins anyway!

As for me. Day 4 of flashing smiley. I sure hope I get a solid tomorrow. I'm about to run out from this pack (pack 10) and didn't want to buy more yet this month. Cross all bits for me please!

BabyBumpHopeful · 15/02/2015 23:33

I also want to o so I finally have a coverline to look at! Right now it's just a line that means next to nothing to me!
