Hello ladies,

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

Purdey - I don't chart unfortunately... If BFP doesn't arrive this month I'm definitely going to start - if not to get pregnant, at least to have an awareness of my boy and what's it's up to!

Some cramping this morning - yes! Crazypuglady! It's like an awareness! A "full" feeling!fingers crossed for either way fairly soon - I wanna know!been awake since 9am and I'm gonna go for a lay down - shattered!!

HeirToTheIronThrone · 06/02/2015 14:24

Hugs and malteasers prescribed by me for everyone with AF. Last month the day before she arrived I spent the day at our godson's first birthday party with a billion small children. When AF appeared it was horrific - the thought that I will never be one of those party-going parents :(

I think I'm about 10dpo though FF has again decided it can't tell... Temp still up though, and today's 'symptoms' are waking up in the night boiling hot and drenched in sweat (we live in the coldest flat in the world and I am a tightarse re heating so definitely wasn't warm!) and, (TMI) lots of creamy CM which I don't normally have. Ugh, my brain is just going 'What does it all MEEEEEEEEEEEEAN?'

Oh, and I have AF pants too. Very old greying big short ones from Primark. They are all the sexy Grin

Hairstylisttoboris · 06/02/2015 14:24

sparkly our shower is in an extension so we just gave a velux window in the flat roof above. It's fab as in summer you get bathed in light. The disadvantage is we live on a flight route and so Sleezy Jet customers could theoretically get a free showing of something more than they paid for.

juneybean · 06/02/2015 14:25

my temps have been up and down so far this cycle but I do keep waking up in the night.

I'm only cd5 so far though.

Giddymamma · 06/02/2015 14:26

Pleased they've been in touch sparkly!

MarysPrayer · 06/02/2015 14:27

Hmm, I don't really have any AF pants. It would seem that all of my knickers are granny pants plain cotton briefs Blush #immaculate conception Grin

crazypuglady · 06/02/2015 14:35

Just filled the form in for clear blue trial. Hope they call me. Hope even more that I get a BFP in a few days time and don't need it.

MrsG fx that full feeling is us being full of arms and legs (in the oh so eloquent words of my DH). I've had a full day today and really feel like I could sleep standing up right about now.

Ooooo forgot to say the other day, I got chewable vit D from boots (kids range) half price so 33p for 30! Get yourselves down there. Except you sparkly, you just stay in front of your window.

Sparkly123 · 06/02/2015 14:36

Ha ha thanks Mary re cycle praise.. I'm glad one of us is convinced!! Wink

Mummyofone I know exactly! Why wouldn't you do it?! Plus free clearblue preggo tests? Eh yes please! I'm already signing the consent form!! Ha ha . I didn't think vit D was a massive deal but lately I've heard it's important for fertility too. WHY is EVERYTHING so important for fertility?! So I need to sort it out. I'm stuck in house a lot with my health so it's hard for me to get it naturally outside too. My cardiologist told me though you can absorb it through the car windows so you might get some there!!

Heirtotheiron Here's some of my earlier malteaser cake Cake I absolutely know what you mean about kiddies parties.. It's hard when you are only the childless one! You don't really know what to do with yourself. It WILL be you! You just gotta keep going. And this months symptoms sound good already!!! BFP is a coming!!!

Boris ha ha Grin I honestly thought you had some sort of device.. !! That's great I want a velux! Sleazy jet customers would have a field day! Well done on living sane on the flight path! I need absolute silence and live on a quiet street with a huge field next to me. I don't do noise at bedtime! We went to stay with our friends in London on the heathrow flight path and we were seriously considering leaving one hour in.. Ha ha! We are too used to the silence here I think!

Giddymamma · 06/02/2015 14:38

They called! Not eligible until I've had two cycles and only had one since ds born. I'm just going to sit here and gnaw my arm in frustration. COME ON EGGS! I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!

MarysPrayer · 06/02/2015 14:39

...

Sparkly123 · 06/02/2015 14:39

Crazypug Grin ha ha ha I'm still here.., only joking! It's such a gorgeous day here and I'm stuck in bed.. If only my lovely south facing garden would be outside my bedroom window so I can get all the light in!!! ... That's where the nursery will be! Wink. Yes let's hope you don't need the OPKs! BFPs all the way!

Sparkly123 · 06/02/2015 14:40

Do it Mary!!

Oh nooo Giddy what a shame! We shall all shut up now... Blush

MrsG23 · 06/02/2015 14:40

Crazypuglady - think my husband would prefer me to be full of wind than arms and legs... But in that case, he shoulda put something on the end of it, Aye? We shall see! It's just so different to my usual AF cramping - I have endometriosis so know what painful periods are like.. Fx for you!! :)

Giddymamma · 06/02/2015 14:44

Ach no, is not a problem sparkly. They said I can call back when I've had cycle two. Which I won't have. Because of the delayed ovulation being caused by the egg ripening to absolute perfection. You see? Grin

mummyofonesofar · 06/02/2015 14:45

sparkly you're signing yours already? Mine are being posted so have to wait Hmm didn't know about free preggo tests too wahoo! OH doesn't know I applied. He already thinks I'm crazy with my DTD planning.

mustbemad71 · 06/02/2015 14:49

Hi girls - so sorry for all the BFNs and AF arrivals. Hoping we have some BFPs on here soon!

I've been to see the GP this morn after my chem last week. Basically she said just keep on with the excessive shagging as we have been doing and hope for a decent egg. DCs are with their dad this weekend so I'm planning noisy sex all over the house instead of the usual stealth shag when the teenagers are about!

Have a fab weekend everyone! Grin

Sparkly123 · 06/02/2015 14:51

mummy yeh they emailed me them so don't and dusted! Yes free clearblue preggo tests! Woo!!! And shopping vouchers cause obv we shall all be preg!

Giddy ah yes I like your thinking!

MrsG hi! Can I ask if you don't mind- did you have a lap to confirm endo?

CoffeeTwo · 06/02/2015 14:54

Winterbaby thank you for the kind words, I'm so sorry to hear about your difficult experience.

MaMaPo sorry to hear you're feeling the frustration too, fingers crossed this is our month!

Welcome to the newbies.

Sorry to those with AF or BFNs :(

crazypuglady · 06/02/2015 14:58

sparkly I suggest building a conservatory for the sole purpose of putting your bed in there so you can get plenty of vit D and make babies.

MrsG fx for you too. Then your DH can just get used to the idea. I don't have endo as far as I'm aware but have always had painful periods. Despite a high pain threshold I've been known to almost pass out. Nothing like that at the moment though. Just this strange full sensation.

tessiegirl · 06/02/2015 15:00

Oooh clearblue trial sounds good...

Can I ask you all a question? Blush during the tww do you continue to have orgasms as I have heard some IVF clinics not allowing women to as it could impact the egg implanting?! What are everyone's thoughts?! Blush

Sparkly123 · 06/02/2015 15:01

Ha ha crazypug I wish!!! We build a conservatory- we have no money for baby! Ha. In fact.. We have no money for baby full stop!! Someone reassure me they don't cost much right? They are so teeny?! Surely!
I also have horrendous pain at periods and have passed out many a time. MEN! Have it so easy!

Sparkly123 · 06/02/2015 15:03

Tessie get on it! Go on clearblue website. Oh that's interesting re orgasm in TWW.. I've never heard that before but then I am not overly experienced in all aspects of this TTC ... Maybe someone else will know! While we are at it- waxing and hair dying in TWW everyone? Sounds insane I know but have heard various people say not to! Including my wax lady!

mummyofonesofar · 06/02/2015 15:12

No idea about orgasms or waxing!! I had tonns of great sex when pregnant with my first. Plus found it made orgasms easier as everything was so much more sensitive! Blush

mrsb0710 · 06/02/2015 15:19

Help! Advice please.
CD 1&2 - AF very heavy. CD 3 - very light. Thinking I may short cycle due to it being first after MC?
When should I start DTD and OPK? Was hoping to follow SMEP, but don't want to miss the boat egg.

TheSortingCat · 06/02/2015 15:32

Place marking.
