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

shinysparklythings · 28/01/2015 07:26

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.

Hello all!

CD6 here and just started temping again this morning.

I also bled for longer this month which was annoying, I've only just finished.

shiny I pee in a plastic avent cup that I used to store breast milk in! I've got my money's worth out of it Grin

thanks for the stats night

MaMa good news about your tests and your lined up specialist!

spinning sorry to see you here but glad to have you also!

spinningirl10 · 19/02/2015 19:25

Ooh nearly time for Eastenders.....anyone watching? Grin

dojo123 · 19/02/2015 19:28

Spinning haven't watched Eastenders in months and then I have started watching again (mainly this week to see what's going on). I have to pick the DH up from work in a sec so am going to miss most of the episode, going to try and catch it on catch up instead.

victoria401 · 19/02/2015 19:30

I pee into disposable plastic measuring cups! Not sure where they came from but they are small and have mils down the side Grin

spinning don't take this the wrong way but I'm glad I'm not the only 20 monther on board. Makes me feel like I shouldn't be over in the infertility thread and that I'm still just as welcome here x

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 19/02/2015 19:37

I'm watching eastbenders. I reckon it was Ian/Adam! Lol

spinningirl10 · 19/02/2015 19:38

Dojo, I won't reveal who dunnit Smile

Victoria, Yep there's still a few of us left although our numbers seem to be dwindling. It's nice that we're together though, hopefully it will be our turn soonSmile

tessiegirl · 19/02/2015 20:22

Kissing I use internet cheapy opks twice a day - usually once around 10am then again between 4-6pm. FMU is NOT recommended to be used with these. However, I also use the Clearblue Dual Hormone opks and these are to be used with FMU. Hope that make sense! Smile

Oooh ladies I can't wait for the big reveal on Eastenders! We will be watching it on iplayer in a little while. I haven't got a clue who it could be, although I don't think it was either Ian or Jane....surely not?!

tessiegirl · 19/02/2015 20:23

Haha!! Just seen the time of Spinning's last post - is everyone off watching Eastenders?!! Grin

gennibugs · 19/02/2015 20:43

Woop woop I was engrossed in eastenders. That took my mind off things for an hour.

Looking forward to the episode later now!

spinningirl10 · 19/02/2015 20:47

Ooh I was watching Genni, bloody hell, it was all going on wasn't it!! Also looking forward to the next oneSmile

gennibugs · 19/02/2015 20:49

Without spoiling for anyone I couldn't blooming keep up tbh!

DH is at work and asked for an update and apart from the obvious I didn't really know where to start.

I feel like I need a large Wine after all that! Grin

Beansprout30 · 19/02/2015 22:16

Hi girls, jumping over from the feb bus. Hope this was is a bit quicker off the mark!

Ooh eastenders! Didn't see that coming

BabyBumpHopeful · 20/02/2015 00:27

Opk from today after work attached (one with flash, one without). Still positive so dtd today. Woot woot

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

Sparkly123 · 20/02/2015 01:09

Eastenders- yes! That is all...! (What the eck is happening to old Dotty though.. Is she off?!)

Sorry I've not contributed much to this bus yet ladies. I've been trying to chill out a bit and not focus too much on it all at the moment as last month was a hard one. But I'm def still here popping in!

Victoria you stay put mrs! Course you are welcome here!! I am going to see you get your BFP lovely. You too spinning hope your bleeding slowing victoria

Hi beansprout

coffeenut · 20/02/2015 03:20

Hi can I join? I loosely followed the last part of the jan and some of the feb threads. Have tried to read up to date on this one too.

AF due 3 March. I had positive OPKs on Sat and Sunday, cramping Sunday night, and then negative Monday. Does this mean I prob ov'd Sunday or would it have been Monday?

Anyway, hopefully we didn't miss it as we were a bit . . . sporadic.

Have cut out alcohol but really feel like a small one tonight - these TWWs kill me.

MrsGingerbread · 20/02/2015 06:27

Eeek!

My digi clear blue opk has jumped straight to a static smiley at cd 8! What the hell! Surely this can't be right...?

Obviously we will start dtd anyway, but aunt flo hasn't been gone long!

Oh and I wee into a the lid of the pump toothpaste. (Not the one we are using you understand, an old one!)

Giddymamma · 20/02/2015 08:19

Morning! Joining from the feb bus if that's okay? Stats 37 ttc 2 cycle 2. I pee straight onto sticks. don't trust myself not to drop containers

Southy84 · 20/02/2015 08:26

I pee straight onto the stick too and got an error today :( really annoyed as still not seen any signs of a smiley face, will try again when I get home from work

chasingtherainbow · 20/02/2015 08:50

I pee into a plastic jug I keep soley for that purpose (once you are heavily pregnant and trying to pee into those teeny tubes the midwives use you'll be grateful for a pee jug Wink )

Blank smiley/negative opk today but line definitely darker, cd12. Really hoping ovulation occurs for day 13/14.

Now. It's a dtd night tonight... He had a rest yesterday lol ... but, I'm thinking we should try to dtd every night for the next 3? my only concern is burning him out and missing out if I ov over cd 14/15 ? Gah!

Welcome to the people bus hopping from feb.

Does anyone know why cycle length effects when a positive test occurs?

I was on countdowntopregnancy and did the pg test calculator, but I forgot to change cycle length from 28 days to 32. Ov date was the same etc. on the 28 day cycle it said I could test 4 days earlier than on a 32 day cycle. But surely conception and growth of the cells etc would happen at the same rate therefore the amount of hcg would also be the same???

Morning all Smile TGIF!

I was so tired this morning I nodded back off to sleep whilst taking my temp. Not sure if the reading is correct now! Oh well I'm guessing it won't matter too much!

Just sat in Starbucks waiting for my car to be MOT'd and catching up on all the threads Smile

dojo123 · 20/02/2015 09:34

Caught up with 'sternders this morning... What!!? Shock. Who'd of thunk it!

CD17 and getting slight cramps RHS of my stomach. Thought I had OVd on Wednesday due to the temp dip but my temp dipped again a little this morning. Going to DTD again tonight to make sure we've covered all bases.

When I was POAS at the beginning of the month I used the cap to my dry shampoo can. Do we all need to invest in Shewees to make it easier!!! Grin

gennibugs · 20/02/2015 09:35

shiny I always assumed it was to do with implantation? But I'm not sure where I got that from!

Original poster
shinysparklythings · 20/02/2015 10:07

genni yup that's sort of what is hinted at but why should implantation take longer in a 32 day cycle??

Loving the pee receptacles! Dry shampoo lids seem to be a common one.

Consultant this morning and the upshot was Consultant confirmed everything removed benign and now to give everything a good shot til may. In the long term a hysterectomy is the answer but until I'm done then we will manage the issues.
So trying harder til may and crossing everything it happens
