Come on Eros! Shoot your --man fat-- arrow through the heart of this February bus and give us our babbies!

[purdeybirdie]

Do you love being elbow deep in your cervix? Can you tell your cream from your egg? No, we're not talking Cadbury, we're talking vadge juice. Come and join the fingering fillies on our flight of fecundity (see what I did there?).

Purds, I only used to ov very infrequently before Clomid. Since starting on it, I have ov'd on day 14 each month according to cb digi. It does say in the instructions that it is ok to use while on Clomid.

Thanks for the reassurance girls will just wait it out. Sorry to those with temp drops, it's shit isnt it, at least you kinda know one way or another and you can focus on next cycle

Crikey, Sparkly, that temp is still so healthy-looking! Certainly not indicative of imminent AF. Black bits? Your emissions are such a puzzle! I'm sorry you are in pain I take it you've tested for pregnancy?

Nomio, d'oh! I'm an idiot. Yes, of course Clomid was prescribed because you were ov-ing infrequently (because I already ovulated pre-Clomid - and am on it to try and spit more than one egg out per cycle - I assume everyone else is on it for a laugh, too ). You've clearly ov'd later than usual this month but I can't explain why. What are your plans when you've exhausted the Clomid route?

Just wrote a post and lost it

Sammy and Spinning I hope things are a bit better in both households today

Victoria so sorry for that bad day, sometimes need to just let it all out as horrible as it is. I really hope you feel a bit brighter soon

Bean so sorry as those tests were so clear. Hold on, there's still hope as that was early.

Juney hope all went well, you are now on route to your BFP!

Mrsb I was in your position a couple weeks ago and really didn't think I was going to OV at all, there were no positive OPKs.. But they were just very late and I OVd much later than usual so don't lose hope after the mc. Fingers crossed, and if not, it won't be long Until the next cycle kicks in

Thanks Purdey will happily ignore them. Trial membership ran out today, I miss all my little coloured boxes!!

How are you today Purdey ??
The pain is like my normal AF pain. Terrible! My temps are a mystery. Only thing I can think is- my thermometer is a dud?! Can you still get AF with a high temp?? I just went to loo again and now a bit of brown red blood and clotting. oh and don't even ask about pregnancy test! I took one fmu as I was so confused. An internet cheapie. And it's left a evap line I think! Lovely!

Can you tell I'm today?!

Thanks sparkly I've just gone out and bought 20 cheap sticks. That's got to induce ov, and a bfp for sure. Haha.
DH keeps telling me to relax. I don't think it would bother me so much apart from the mc and the aftermath of that. I know our bodies are resilient and I just have to be positive.

Hope your pain eases soon

Mrsb I totally understand what you mean, my husband is the same too. But it's very different for you going through it all physically. I'm sure those sticks will bring OV about super quick! You will get your BFP, and you are on the right track!

Hope you feel better soon sparkly :-(

Tearoom baby was just a flying visit. It wasn't a cute baby anyway. Massive forehead and cross expression. Didn't make me broody at all

Victoria just saw about the tearoom baby. First laugh I've had today though at the massive forehead comment! Aw you have to laugh right, otherwise we would all actually lose the plot! Really wish could say something to help you, I know there will be a way to get your baby I'm just so sorry it's taking so long for you. Lots of and for you!!!

Victoria, you just made me laugh out loud!

Purdey, we have been referred for IVF. Sent the forms back last week & are now waiting to hear. In the meantime I have 2 more cycles of clomid to try.

I think the reason I ovulated late this month as because I was so tired & stressed with moving house.

Sparkly Sorry to hear that you are in pain. Have some cake to cheer you up. I have back pain today too. Must be the weather!

Juney I am sending lots of 'swim faster' vibes to your boys!

Hello all - apologies for slight meltdown yesterday, I was having a moment

We've not been trying long at all, so thank you all for giving me a virtual hug/slap - much needed! I was just having a gloomy day.

(or possibly am premenstrual - I am a bit concerned as Ovia says my luteal phase is only 10 days - that's not good is it?)

Grrrr...I would like to know one way or the other because we are going on a weekend away with a big group of friends this Friday and I want to know if I should be packing stealth soft drinks or having a consolatory g&t!

Knit, we all have down days here, I y doesn't matter how long we've been trying for. Pleased you're feeling brighter today.

Sparkly, your chart is still looking good. I thought you said your temp had dropped below coverline?

All ok with dp now thanks. He said I was a grumpy cow this morning and left for work without a kiss. Anyway I've since seen him and told him I was feeling down about this cycle having got my hopes up (even thought I tried not to, you know how it goes!) anyway he gave me a big cuddle and said I should have spoken to him before. We're out to dinner with our student tonight so I'm looking forward to that

Right can finally catch up after my flap this morning! Have taken egg for a walk and got a decaf coffee from the farm shop

sammy fingers crossed you get a go tonight

bean it's not over til it's over!

spinnin you argue over coffee & cake?! what?!

purdle how are you feeling?

oh wood bloody AF, hope she stays away...

fingers crossed the elusive egg snuck past you bowies

hope you're okay knit bloody stressful this getting knocked up lark!

spinnin your "student" ???

Nomio, good luck with your ivf. I hope you'll stay on the buses when you have it. So many ladies disappear to another thread but I like that we all hang around together. At the end of the day we all want the same thing no matter how we get there

Sparkly, what is usually happening for you at 12dpo (temp-wise)? Would a photo show us your line? Are you sure it's an evap?? Was it pink or grey?

Howling at giant-forehead-baby There sure are some munter tots around

Spinning nope that wasn't me. It just dropped.. Not to coverline though. I've bed having these pains all day and feel like AF to be honest but not getting full flow at all. Weird too as the pain in my stomach is high up like I've been kicked in tummy really weird!! I can't believe today of all days I get an evap line on my test too! Ha. Pretty sure the full flow is imminent. Glad all is sorted with your dp and you have a lovely dinner to look forward to tonight!!

Juney it's all happening now! Woo hoo!!

Purds November-dec by 12dpo dropped below coverline but December-jan chart it was same as today but that was my BFP one. So I'm not sure. All I know is I feel exactly like I do at AF with addition of this back pain and upper stomach pain. I've attached test it's def looking colourless to me.

I can see that!

Thanks for the Nomio I really good you get on well the next two cycles but your IVF is in progress so that's good to know too. Rooting for you!

Thanks, Spinning. I have no intention of going anywhere. You ladies will have to kick me off to get rid of me!

Knit, I think we can all sympathise with you having a bad day. Ttc is incredibly hard to deal with at times.

Anyone that has taken B6 to lengthen lp, can you please give me some advice as to what amounts I should take. Also, do you take it all month, or just certain days?

Juney it's def got no colour though and it's extremely faint. I'm sure it's evap given me pain and bleeding

Sparkly, I'm sorry to say this but I am convinced your black-ish blood and clots are remnants of the products of conception last month. I'm sure of it. The good news is that it is clear your body is having a clear out. I hope so anyway. If you are concerned I would visit your GP. It's not right that any woman's period should be very painful.
