Rolling rolling rolling, the February bus is still rolling!

Here we are...

at amphibian sex show!

juney honestly. Where in her training manual did it ever advise getting out a couple of beany frogs?!

Grabbing a seat. Thanks for sharing the sperm vids, fascinating stuff really isn't it

sparkly DH wondering why I'm sat here crying with laughter. Oh dear. Really? I think I would have lost it.
Did you learn anything from mr and mrs Kermit? The froggy position?

MissMrs I had a cold this cycle and ov was delayed by around 6 days. I thought I ov'd around Cd14 before on a 28 day cycle. Didn't ov till CD20 this cycle.

Mrsb ha ha. No old kermy didn't come up with any new tips! I don't even know why she was showing me as she knew we were doing AI.. I think it was generally positions that would help with pain etc that I sometimes get.. But honestly! What happened to diagrams?! Internet links? No.. Amphibians!

Haha. We're due to DTD tomorrow, must...not...think....frogs.

Husbands face suddenly transforms into massive Kermit head

Are you all drunk? Just wondering.

So I'm about 8-10dpo and finding my brain extremely distracted. No AF this morning, which means >22 day cycle, calloo callay. Wondering whether to test in the morning but erring on not, especially if FF is wrong and I'll be 9, not 11dpo. Temps dropped slightly this morning so there is a strong chance they'll plummet tomorrow and AF will arrive - just in time for my pelvic ultrasound tomorrow, hooray hooray. Perhaps if they stay high I'll think about testing - imagine if I could cancel my (extremely expensive) ultrasound because a BFP beat it to the punch? So unlikely.

Hmm. As I just tried to find out the sensitivity of my CBAFM pregnancy test, I came across the phenomenon of a YouTube 'LIVE PREGNANCY TEST'. Yep, it's someone recording themselves POAS (that bit is offscreen, luckily) and looking at the results on a range of sticks and monitors. Well, I'm bonkers but I have a way to go before that.

Stop having so much fun when I'm trying to sleep peoples! I've missed so much! wails mournfully at misty skies

Ooooh I really hope AF stays away for you tomorrow MaMaPo and that you get to POAS.

Good luck this morning Heir.

12dpo at this end and got a BFN on a CB digi this morning so despite all the promising symptoms (which I assume must be caused by the vitamins I've been taking all month), it looks as though I'm out.

It's hit me really hard. I would have LOVED an Autumn baby in time for DH's Birthday, not to mention a BFP before the 6 March EDD of my cp. I guess I also now have to face up to the reality that a tube down, I'm not as fertile as I was (my previous BFPs came after 2 and 3 cycles respectively... this was cycle 3 post ectopic) and it will take longer.

Cariad I'm so sorry about the bfn. Remember, you are not out until the witch arrives. The edd for my mc was last month. It was tough but now it has passed it has helped me to feel more relaxed about it.

My bbt has dropped like a stone this morning. Booo. Optimistically hoping that I can blame last night's paracetamol. (Denial!)

Aw cariad, I'm sorry.
Ah austral, that was you wailing earlier? Woke me up. :)
Sparkly, ha ha haaaa! Frog head DH!

WT absolute F?! Just did my morning wee and wiped... Pinky spotting! I'm only cd23! I don't know how many dpo as my body went weird.... My cycles have been 30/31 days for the last 6 months (bit iffy before then but nothing shorter than 26 day one off).

I'm also in flipping agony. First yoga for a month last night and its triggered my sciatica. My left leg keeps collapsing as I try get ready for work! Oh and I have light cramps in my tummy and I feel sick :-( probably from pain and dread :-(

Sorry about the me post...

Implantation bleed Victoria?

I can't even begin to think that night its been over 2 years ttc and our iui cycle was canceled last month as dh's sperm was deemed too poor. Too poor for treatment surely must be way too poor to actually get me normally preg! Feel really depressed now and still wondering if to phone in sick coz I don't know if I can walk the 10 min to the bus stop let alone do a days work....

Morning

Cariad, I'm really sorry about the bfn. I know you were hoping this would be your month. Maybe it will just take a little longer this time but you'll get there and it could maybe be too early

Victoria, I would love if your spotting is an implantation bleed.

My temps are really odd this cycle, not as high as usual. I'll post a pic in a bit as I'm running late!

Victoria my heart breaks for you with the way you are feeling now! Perhaps don't get your hopes up but don't let yourself become too despondent either. It's not over till the fat lady (AF) sings!

Oh Victoria - I really hope this is a good sign for you.

I've worked out why I hate this cough medicine so much... It tastes like the stuff you rinse your mouth out with at the dentist! Lol.
I'm drinking grapefruit juice (which is almost as bad!) but haven't got EPO this cycle, cd10 now so no point starting now, will try it next cycle maybe. Xx

Thanks for your kind words MrsGingerbread, Spinning and Giddy. I know I probably just need to be patient (it's not in my nature though)...Still finding being the only one of my close friends not to be upduffed or to have a young baby really difficult, so much so that I'm on an active bump avoidance mission at the moment. I've already bailed on the baby shower at the end of this month.

Sorry you're having such a tough time Victoria. I would so LOVE it if that was an implantation bleed.

Sorry about the bbt drop MrsG - could it be implantation? Failing that, paracetamol sounds like a good explanation.

Here's my chart, for some reason I can't work out how to add it so I've taken a photo??

Oh victoria I'm so sorry, really hope it turns out not to be AF. Thinking of you

nomio I was reading about hostile cervix and there are diet changes you can make which make you less acidic - more fruit and veg, less meat. So I'm guessing as a veggie your cervix is very friendly

giddy you might be better trying soft cups. They sit higher up inside you than Mooncup so would hold the spermies in place. Also, I have read about Mooncup easing AF cramps/shortening AF because it has a suction effect, don't know if it could suck spermies out a bit? Just a thought.

sparkly hilarious about frogs but also useful to know!

crazypuglady thanks for your experience about late ov. I am not temping or opking this month so I needed to be prepared for if I ov late, maybe I should chart... Trying to relax though!

Anyway here is a new obsession for you all: cervical hostility. You can buy universal indicator strips for 95p on amazon to test your vaginal PH. If you are acidic there are things you can do to help.

Dreamt I had a baby last night

Looking good so far spinning!

BFN for me but no sign of AF other than cramping last night. Wondering if I ovd late due to cold. Ho hum limbo land it is.
