All aboard the Feb bus, as we finally take off

[Blue500]

New bus ladies, bring on those Bfp's!

Dojo, sorry to hear your sad news yes stay here for a while and keep us company.

Can I ask everyone's advice? I'm struggling today I've been feeling really unwell yest/today ... And my body is playing tricks as us exactly how I felt in my TWW when I was preg. It's horrible. I feel must be hormone related as obviously can't be preg yet. The thing keeping me positive after the mc was looking forward to OV this month and getting a shot.. Then when I got my positive OPKs and fertile cm and managed to do AI so much this far I felt good. And I've woke up today -after being up most of the night- feeling so deflated as no temp rise to confirm OV. Is there no hope??? I'm CD 18 positive OPKs CD 15 and CD 16. My temps are so strange this month so have no idea what's going on. Anyone shed any light??? I'm going to attach my charts from Nov-now so you can see the difference... (Sorry in advance for huge charty post!)

Thank you for all of your support. Feeling better about things and have warned the DH that we'll be TTC all over again as soon as this bleed has stopped.

(I just posted the following on the March bus... yes, I'm bridging two buses again..)

Think my DH is looking forward to having 'me' back again as I have been a bit distracted/absorbed with the missed AF, positive sticks and then spotting and mc. He was worried that I was getting too excited/ too consumed too early and he was probably right, but you can't really help yourself sometimes. He now just wants to make sure I'm ok and know that he there for me.
He has a day off today so he is cooking dinner, going to pour me a bucket of red wine and light the fire so I'm comforted tonight. Love him sooo much. feeling blessed

Thanks Lilly what do your in laws worry about? Really hoping I am worrying about nothing and parents will be thrilled :)

Dojo this sounds exactly what you need. So glad to hear you dh is looking after you so brilliantly. And yes, it's very hard not to get excited.. Especially when it's going on in your body. I totally understand that and think it's perfectly natural. I hope you can rest now and start to feel better soon and get going again when you feel ready. Your BFP is def waiting for you

lilly and night my parents and in laws have all openly said they will not be happy if we have another child!! I choose to ignore their very unwelcome opinion......

Sorry about you news dojo . It's fantastic that you can stay positive and that you have a fab oh to look after you

Why on earth have they said that kissing? Am glad to hear that you are ignoring them!

dojo sounds like your DH has this in hand, good to know that you are being well taken care of.

Thanks for xf and thoughts!!!!! Never had an implantation bleed with dc1 or didn't pay attention to it so don't know what it might look like and it seemed a bit soon but I'll definitely think positive now.
Wow, people have had a utterly shit time mostly this week. I really feel for you all. Parents CPs partners charts confusing temps it just doesn't end!
I hope tomorrow or the week after or the month after treats everyone better. In the mean time cake and gin if you can. And no, quinoa doesn't count as comfort food, before you ask!

lilly, at 4dpo the fertilised egg - if indeed you have conceived - is still dividing on its way to the uterus ready for implantation. So, yes..too early for symptoms.

austral*, so you're 5dpo? I have no idea what that cm means!

night and kissing I don't really know what they worry about other than they just do. I think they worry about our finances more than anything else and the fact that we don't have a chunk of savings like they always had, though we do pretty well for ourselves (house, car, bills paid etc). They however lived in a different generation when getting a mortgage was easy, job stability was good and pensions were good. They are both retired now and both draw a good pension, no mortgage, go on several holidays per year and have plenty of savings. I think they look at us and think with recession, house prices, lack of future pensions etc and just worry that its not as easy for us as it was for them. Its also not like they are expected to be the kind of gp's that babysit all the time and help out a lot. When ever they have babysat (rare) its only every been for a few hours and never overnight. So I've come to the conclusion that they just worry and that it can't be helped and like you kissing though they haven't said that they would be unhappy at a third child I suspect that they would disappointed.

Dojo sounds like your DH is taking good care of you. Wine and fire sounds nice and cosy...I would love that!

AF due tomorrow!

spinning, thank you. I haven't picked up a needle since I left rehab in the summer of 2011 I have been far too preoccupied in TTC and now raising my tot. This is why I urge everyone here to keep making efforts to do stuff that makes the heart sing. I made myself spectacularly miserable TTC for months and months without looking upwards to the sky.

Purdey Thanks that's what I thought too. Prob just feeling sicky after recovering from my cold.

Sitting on the fence about maybe starting temping and doing opk's, I know I would become obsessive (used to have ocd) also with my work and change in sleep patterns I am not even sure that the temps would be reliable.

Well dc3 and I were very poorly during labour and just after birth, dd almost didn't survive the birth actually so obviously they worry that the same (or worse) could happen again. But we have spoken to hop's and there is no real reason it would happen again but I would be monitored very closely and managed differently with another pregnancy. So I feel they should be supportive and respect my decision to have another.

dojo, you can get through anything with a husband like that.

Sparkly, your disappointment is tangible. I would love to know if you are still testing positive on a cheapie hot. This would surely skew your opks? It certainly seems your body is trying to ovulate, but I urge you to steel yourself for an anovulatory month ( which is very likely after a mc)

*hpt!

Ah right so it is concern for you that drives them then kissing Although like you say it is your decision to make. Fx everything goes smoothly for you :)

Purdey I guess I just thought that because I had all the signs of OV that it would just bloody happen! 7 AIs we have done this far!! Urghhhh!!! So I used the CB smiles and IC OPKs and they correlated exactly as they usually do and got the strongest line on IC I have ever had on OPK. So I just trusted it! I have ran out of CB smiles but used an IC today and there's a fainter line
My temps plummeted down and they don't seem to be increasing much do they?!

Major symptom spotting here.....I just shed a tear at an episode of cake boss!! That has got to be a symptom, yes??

Oh Purdey just re read that.. Cheapie Hpt is negative for sure

definitely, kissing

night and kissing I guess we have to focus on the fact that it is our choice to make at the end of the day. Also though those around us may not share the same view and excitement that it will be worth it in the end and that people come round.

kissing I shed a tear at adverts these days so think I am going soft in my old age as I never used to cry at anything! Could be a symptom though, I always find myself extremely weepy when preggo.

Aw, it's been a hard few days on this bus by the looks of it. So sorry to everyone having a rough time, whatever the reason.
Cd14 and no peak on cbfm here. That's unusual for me compared to pre baby so wondering if I'm not going to ovulate this month after all. Ho hum. In which case, please can I come round yours purdey to yell encouragement at your hubby? I'm thinking it might be fun (you and boris have been making me giggle!) and also the more people there the more supported he might feel?!

Giddymamma now I have the funny image of you cheering on from the side lines (grin)
