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.

GotTheKey · 23/02/2015 07:47

Thanks for the replies ladies! We DTD just to be sure xxx

MaMaPo · 23/02/2015 08:05

You're welcome rainy!

Husband's home, visitors coming in an hour, I'm getting ewcm and ov pains, all systems go! So of course we have a terrible screamy bedtime with the toddler so neither of us are in the mood. Argh!

Morning ladies

I had a busy day yesterday so couldn't check in. Hope you're all doing ok.
CD20. FF has confirmed that it thinks I OVd on Wednesday making me 5dpo. Trying not to symptom spot but can't help myself. So far... More spotty than usual (I think). Cramps similar to AF but not prolonged just little stabs here and there. Insomnia and feeling very warm when I wake (having to use the 'one foot out of the covers' temperature control method).

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

Morning Grin

Dojo, yay for confirmed ov Smile

Allatonce, welcome back. I remember you. Fx for a bfp soon.

Mama, hope you get to dtdWink

Chasing, oh no for sore willy! Tell him to man up and dtd anywayGrin

chasingtherainbow · 23/02/2015 09:17

I'm ready for the gin terrace. Anyone wanna join me? Chin chin.Wine

I'm holding my pee and will do another opk at 10 after 4 hrs as per instructions. I'm 99.9% sure it'll be neg but I just can't understand where ov is. If I did ov Cd9 for some unknown.. bizarre reason.. I'd be 5 dpo now and implanting. But these stretchy, achey feelings feel so much more towards the left rather than central like the last time I felt implantation that I honestly think it feels like ov. But no cm and neg opk.

I just can't make sense of it

gennibugs · 23/02/2015 09:26

Morning All

First day back at work for me today. Luckily DH is working around the corner from me today so we could commute in together and he suggested we try to meet for coffee later. That made it easier.

haven't read back yet - I will later but just wanted to check in and say hi to all Smile

Amyyy27 · 23/02/2015 09:44

Hi genni hope youre first day bavk goes as best as it can. Lovely for DH to be close to you today.

chasing good luck with the opk! Are you able to test later in the day also? Any stabbing pains to one side? Just achey could be the follicles gearing up for O? Or maybe youre right about cd9, i cant remember implantation pain unfortunately.

Hi babs ! Sorry AF got you.

Good news for confirmed O dojo :)

Temp higher today even with waking very early so im still sure about 0 so now 2dpo. Ive had to call in sick today with a hideous sicky migraine which started last night :( im trying not to look into it too much but the last time i had one this bad was just after O when i got pg.... im sure its way too early for any signs though :(

chasingtherainbow · 23/02/2015 10:00

Ok so my 2nd opk is positive. Why wasn't it pos with fmu. Definitely Oving from left side. Now super gutted we didn't dtd last night. I can only pray dh doesn't work too late and that he is up for dtd tonight. . Do you think I'm still in with a chance if we dtd tonight?

Can't understand why it's a while day late this month dither.

Amyyy27 · 23/02/2015 10:02

Yes i definitely think you are hun!

brickiemum2 · 23/02/2015 10:40

chasing afaik you shouldn't opk with fmu as the surge happens after you wake and therefore doesn't get into your fmu. See faq #3 www.ovulation-calculator.com/ovulation-tests/opk-faq.htm

brickiemum2 · 23/02/2015 10:42

Oh and if you are just having the surge more you have about 24-36 hours until egg release so I don't think you need to worry about not dtd last night.

BananaRaces · 23/02/2015 11:04

Morning ladies, I could do with a bit of support today from the bus TBH. (TMI sorry) Over the last 2 years I have been having mid-cycle bleeding for a few days every month, pretty much as heavy and as long as a second period and right over the time when I should be ovulating.

After much waiting and investigation I finally had a polyp removed in December, which the doctors hoped was the cause of the bleeding and we started TTC straight afterwards. Well, after 2 months of blissfully normal CM but no BFP... today I have had bleeding, and I am only on Cycle day 11 of what is normally a 29 day cycle so I don't think it can be ovulation... I'm really scared that the mid-cycle bleeding is coming back, and either the polyp has regrown or it wasn't the problem in the first place.

I have talked to DH about it, but I don't want to scare him by telling him how worried I actually am... Can anyone help me not to freak out? Sad

nightandthelight · 23/02/2015 11:08

Banana I know nothing about these things but don't want you to be left hanging! Is it the same heaviness as before? If I were you I would make a GP appt as soon as possible so that you can put your mind at rest :)

Amyyy27 · 23/02/2015 11:13

Banana yes definitely see GP. Sorry ive had no experience of that so cant help. But hope someond can give you some advice x

BananaRaces · 23/02/2015 11:17

Hi Night, not quite as heavy as before. I think I need to see what happens over the next few days and then go back to the doctor if it carries on. I don't want to restart the whole ruddy process unless I know the problem is still there for sure.
Thanks for the support Flowers

nightandthelight · 23/02/2015 11:18

The fact that it is not as heavy is a good sign :) let us know how it goes. We are always here!

BananaRaces · 23/02/2015 11:18

Thanks to you too Amyyy. Flowers

auroraboringalis · 23/02/2015 11:48

Hello girls. Sorry for radio silence. Have had a sickly DC. Not quite all well yet but much better.
Hope everyone is doing alright and that we've had very few walkovers from the February bus. Probably won't manage to catch up on all the news at this stage so will just jump in mid-thread! Blush

chasingtherainbow · 23/02/2015 11:49

banana that sounds stressfulFlowers

I have previously read that blood streaked ewcm is considered v fertile. Not sure if that matches up with what you
are experiencing but I think I'd see the gp.. a quick scan will tell you if it's regrown and given how busy drs are I wouldn't want to waste too long waiting for app to come through xc

BananaRaces · 23/02/2015 12:39

Hi chasing, thanks for the reply. I have the direct number for the secretary of the consultant who did my operation in December (because there was a lot of faffing around before I had the op). I think if it gets heavier today or carries on tomorrow I will call him and see what he thinks. Then I can either see him again or go back to my GP depending on what he says.

Fingers crossed it stops today, I really don't want to have to start worrying about this again, I thought it was all finally sorted!

Lauramum23 · 23/02/2015 12:47

Hello everyone I thought I'd hop on here, I've just had a miscarriage and I know I can't really ttc yet before period but I will be on the next bus! So although I can't read back all your messages( I should be painting my kitchen right now- boring) I hope I'll get acquainted soon!! So I'll follow from now on Smile

Southy84 · 23/02/2015 13:01

Hi banana a few years ago I had the same thing, It didn't last as long as two years though, think it was 4 months. I was recommended by my dr to go back on the pill to sort my cycle out and then come back off again and it seemed to work (although at the time I was not ttc, so appreciate you probably won't want to do that). Sometimes our bodies have blips, stress can cause it too. I would definitely see your Dr to put your mind at ease

dojo123 · 23/02/2015 13:29

Banana Sorry I have no experience but I would go back to your doctor or consultant, I don't think it's right to see any blood mid cycle especially not more than a couple of drops/spotting. Hope you can get the information you need and I hope it doesn't delay your chances to conceive. Flowers

Laura welcome to the bus. Sorry to hear of your mc, hope you're doing well. We're a pretty friendly lot on here and there is a gin bar on top deck if you feel like drink rather than painting your kitchen!

I still am bored of the 2WW. I have another week to go until AF/BFP is due and I'm struggling. I need to find something to distract me. I had a relatively productive morning but then I stopped for lunch and now I am procrastinating...
