The February bus rumbles on - only stops are Valentine's Day, Pancake Day and BFP-land. Ding Ding!

[MrsGingerbread]

Hello ladies,

Last bus looks full up. Unless there is a new one that I can't find...

Marmite so sorry onto the next one!!

Beansprout. My apologies. I hope I didn't come across insensitive. Keep strong and positive. Be kind to yourself. No boots needed. Think slippers, chocolate and cup of tea...

Thanks sparkly. Fx for you.

Hello!

Might you beauties have a little look at my chart? FF has just moved ov from CD20 to CD23...

I think this might mean we're out now? We didn't DTD much this month as it was as both been ill but I thought we'd at least got the window roughly right!

Thank you
xxxx

Morning!

After my inconclusive/negative digi test yesterday, I did another test this morning.

This was the result. OMG OMG OMG! Please pray for a sticky one!

Well allthefours, that's pretty conclusive! Congratulations! Xx

Morning

Allthefours, Congratulations, wishing you a healthy nine months

Marmite, sorry af arrived and I hope your toddler is better soon.

Purdey, no I just love taking photos I'm on the south west coast.

Morning Monday Feb bus!
You are all very charty and advisory. I thought I might try temping and using ff. Getting in way over my head? Me? No, surely not?
So I'm sticking the baby thermometer into my ear but so far not once at the same time. DC sleep has been erratic so I might not get the full three hours on one day and might then measure at 5am one day and 6.30am another and 4.30 another. Is temping completely utterly totally useless in this case?
Secondly, I presume all out baseline temps are different, but I've seen a lot of consistency in the charts posted on here. My temps so far (CD1-6) seem to be higher than other peoples and more in line with their post ovulation lines. Not a worry, or a worry?
I'm trying B6 (did it work for anyone on here?) to see if I can extend the lp from cycle zero's 3days to something more useful for cycle one. Unless of course I just had a maaaa-aaasive IB that looks like light/medium AF. Hah-haha-hah. considers poas and wasting a pt in hope

Huge congratulations Allthefours. Here's to a very happy and healthy nine months.

Sorry AF arrived Marmite.

Congratulations all the fours. Wish we hadn't kept you so grounded yesterday now!!!

I miss allthe's* bfp! Hurray!

Morning! Congratulations nailgirl and allthfours!

This cycle is going slowly for me. Cd10. Due to ov at the weekend (Valentine's day DTD wooo) so we have started our EOD DTD.

Looked back at my previous charts and realised that although we have been trying for 12 cycles, sometimes we have just not DTD enough or early enough before ov. So hopefully there is nothing wrong but I will go to the GP next week anyway.

Austral - if you haven't had the 3 hours then your temp will be higher anyway so I'd say don't worry

I've inly been temping for 4 cycles so am not an expert, but I'm sure thee are others on here who can tell you if it's worth continuing.

For the record robitussin cough medicine is horrible! I mean really bad
Not sure I'm going to be able to fully test the ewcm thing because I really don't think I can take that more than once a day ?? Xx

Whoop whoop all the fours! Congratulations. :)

Wow! More bfps! Congratulations ladies!

austral - I'm a big fan of b6. Before my cycles were always 23-24 days with around a 9 day lp. I'm at 27-28 days now with a much healthier lp. What dosage are you taking?

I did chat to my gp about it first, he said it wouldn't make any difference, but he was happy for me to try it. :)

sammy yuck at the cough mixture! I take evening primrose oil (only up to ov) so that's an alternative you could look at maybe? (They are HUGE to swallow though!!)

Congratulations allfours, I hope it's a sticky one

This thread moves so fast. AF was due last Thursday and still isn't here. I'm tempted to go and buy another test but it's bloody freezing and after the whole BFP's then BFN thing I think it will be negative anyway.

Oh and I have a mouse under my cupboard that keeps pinching my tea towels and has started chewing my kitchen rug. This is going to be a long week.

Congrats allthefours

Sarky I think after a week it's time to test again. I really hope it's a BFP and not your body playing tricks. This TTC malarky is cruel at times.

Crikey this bus moves fast! So last day of dtd today (maybe convince him on just one more tomorrow!) according to ovia it's peak fertility day today then onto the dreaded 2ww.

We have taken quite big steps this month into getting ourselves healthier as we needed to anyway and this has been the motivator that we both needed. Fingers crossed it works!
Dh said last night that he's sure we've had more sex this week than in the last four months! Should be BFP/AF on the 23rd but we go to France for a week on the 21st so need to be restrained test early for at least the first two days until we know!

Hullo all. I'm shattered after a busy day!

Congrats to allthefours, pleased you joined us for such a short time.

MrsG (and anyone else who uses B6 to lengthen luteal phase) - how long did it take for you to see an effect on your cycle? This month is my first month taking a B complex, and FF has AF arriving tomorrow (CD22, a ridiculous time) so I'm wondering if I should be anticipating a lengthened cycle or not. I guess I should be aware that late might not = bfp, but just a lengthened cycle. Good either way.

Boo, Marmite. Hope you enjoyed a stiff G&T.

Woohoo allthefours!! Congrats x

MaMaPo I don't know about b complex. I just take B6 from Holland and Barrett.

It comes in two dosages. First month I took 50mg - it made no difference to me. Next month I upped to 100mg (with dr's approval) and I saw the difference straight away.

After a lifetime of 23-4 day cycles I was amazed ( but obviously the first couple of months I did keep hoping it was a bfp).

Sarky, are your cycles usually regular? Do you have any symptoms? I think you'll have to do another test.

blimey we are near enough cycle twins. My app is saying I will ov today. Tracking temps too to make sure I do. Then testing on 24th.

Sarky test again. Isn't it late enough now?

Morning everyone, just popped over from the March bus to say hi! Good to see you have some more bfp's coming in, well done girls!

I also had similar questions to austral, I'm only on my second week of temping and having started taking temps at 06.10 im now taking them at the slightly more amenable time of 07.00. I've been on late shifts and its leaving it a bit tight setting my alarm for 06.10 to be consistent as I might not get the 3hours sleep. However, this week I go back onto early shifts high means I'll revert back to the 06.10 alarm.

Will this mean my temps are totally inaccurate? Or does 50 mins not make much difference? FF is giving me empty circles, does this matter?

Congrats thenailgirl and allthefours

Sammy I took Robitussin this cycle and saw an increase in EWCM, didn't mind the taste too much actually!
