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?).

Hi everyone

Firstly I just wanted to say thank you for listening to my doom and gloom post from last night, and not throwing me off the bus for being so negative! it really helps knowing that there are people who understand.

Secondly - sparkly I can see a line! Keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you Smile

My laptop has broken so am having to make do with the app, boo!

Purdey, hope you're feeling better?

Juney - go swimmers go!!

loopylou1984 · 16/02/2015 17:42

Spinning - your student sounds creepy!! X

MissMrsMummy · 16/02/2015 17:43

sammy I saw your earlier post about thinking of giving up all the monitoring, I have done that this cycle and I honestly feel so much better. I am enjoying TTC again like cycle 1! It is working for me as I know I ov around the same day each cycle but not sure how you'd feel if you have long cycles. Also not sure how I will feel when I am near my due date (not even sure when that is!) it's just nice to be carefree and not analysing a chart all the time.

loopylou1984 · 16/02/2015 17:46

Missmrs - I really am torn. On the one hand is love to feel the way you do as I'm usually a regular 28 days ov 14/15 kinda girl, but in the back of my mind is the 53 day cycle I had in October where I clearly didn't ovulate and thought I was pg... I wasn't temping then so had no idea! Xx

MissMrsMummy · 16/02/2015 17:53

Yes it is tricky and I was torn too but maybe you could try it once to see how it feels? You could always start temping/opking part way through if you're panicking and compare to previous charts. Thats what I was planning to but haven't needed to. Also read lots of fertility advice saying you shouldn't do all this monitoring. And DH is happier just DTD EOD. Do whatever you're comfortable with Smile

Hairstylisttoboris · 16/02/2015 18:08

Now who was it asking about Vit B? For lengthening LP? nomio? based on advice here I'm taking 100 mgs(?) of Vit B6 all cycle. Got them from super drug. So far my whole cycle is 1-2 days longer. I used to take big b6 as I bruise easily and it seems fine to take in doses up to 100 per day but not more.

sparkly I saw a line and nearly cried for you with excitement.

I'm exhausted. DH is sick with man flu and I just got a positive OPK. Damn that timeing.

Hairstylisttoboris · 16/02/2015 18:11

Oh and juney really wishing your swimmers on...!

loopylou1984 · 16/02/2015 18:21

Boris - boo to that timing!

Missmrs - I think I am going to ditch the thermometer, for the next couple of cycles at least. We'll see what comes of our appointment in April and go from there. I know the benefits of temping are huge in terms of knowing what's going on, but I will love not having to wake up at 5am every day! That in itself will make me more relaxed :) Xx

auroraboringalis · 16/02/2015 18:31

Wow so many ups and downs today! I take it the bus is driving through the red lake district at present? wry
Thanks for the earlier replies. Will pop in later for a proper catch up!

Sparkly123 · 16/02/2015 19:02

I have more red bleeding and no line on another internet cheapie girls. The pain has also Cranked up a lot, so I think it will def have been an evap. Sorry to get u all excited!

On the plus side- I'm onto a new cycle I hope which means my BFP is on route. Right?! Grin

Sparkly123 · 16/02/2015 19:04

In other news: clearblue trial stuff arrived today! Blooming eck- what's that potty all about?! I got given a dual hormone test kit which freaks me out as only used the pink digi smile one but im sure I'll get the hang of it! Plenty pregnancy pee sticks too!

Rainy34 · 16/02/2015 19:14

Sparkly sorry you are in so much pain hope it subsides soon for you!!

loopylou1984 · 16/02/2015 19:17

Sparkly - sorry it seems that line was an evap :(
At least you're prepared for the next cycle with all your clear blue bits! X

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 16/02/2015 19:19

I have got on the computer to catch up! Sparkly I got a call today from CB too! what did they ask you on the 2nd interview part before they sent you the stuff? what have you received. I cant wait to get mine!

Also, I hope I dont have to sticka BBT up my ass!!!! LOL xx

BowiesJumper · 16/02/2015 19:21

I'm feeling down tonight as it appears I haven't ovulated. Maybe it's too much to ask that my pcos hasn't effected my fertility but who knows. I might book in to see the docs just in case.

I'll do an opk tonight in case I do get a second lh surge and I ovulate after that. Who knows. Le sigh.

BowiesJumper · 16/02/2015 19:23

Sorry af arrived sparkly. But ooo new toys eh! I've got to send my forms off for the trial. Hope this next cycle is better for you xx

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 16/02/2015 19:24

ah no sparkly. that is shit. but, you are a month closer! Stay positive lovely. we will get there soon I promise. Hopefully you will have a corker of AF and start afresh in a few days.

AF has finished for me, so am inbetween waiting to be fertile again. I think I need a hobby or summat.

mrsb0710 · 16/02/2015 19:24

Flowers sparkly let us know what happens tomorrow. For now, cake and painkillers.

mummyofonesofar · 16/02/2015 19:36

So Sparkly will you count this as CD1 on charts and in trial?

auroraboringalis · 16/02/2015 19:50

Oh no spark :(
bowie are you sure? With your freaky temps? Have you poas just to double check?

victoria401 · 16/02/2015 19:56

Sorry af arrived sparkly

I'm feeling super great tonight oddly! I'm wondering if dh snooped on here and saw my post last week about our unhappy marriage. The last few days he's been amazeballs! AND just now he was in the shower and called though the door asking me to do his back! I leapt up there at the speed of light! TMI but I gave him a good old soaping!!!!

Sparkly123 · 16/02/2015 19:57

Thanks lovely ladies. Weirdest ever! Hardly any bleeding at all. Helpful that I have this all Tomor though. Hope they take us seriously even though not been trying a year. We shall see.

mummy I have no clue about if this is cycle day 1 or not as not full flow?? What do you think?

glittery you want me to extend your bbt up your to next month in the hope this cycle gets me a BFP?! Ha ha Grin I shall not be far behind you this month then!

Sorry Bowie I hope OPK shows something soon but def go see doctor just to get some advice too!

So in the CB trial box I have dual hormone kit with 20 sticks. A potty?!?!... The little urine sample pots and a few CB pregnancy tests. I've not delved right into the paperwork etc yet but it's great having all the bits and bobs for free!

Sparkly123 · 16/02/2015 19:58

Victoria so pleased for you!!!!!! GrinFlowers

victoria401 · 16/02/2015 19:58

Sorry if that was inappropriate timing of post in amongst sparkly's angst

GlitteryLipgloss1 · 16/02/2015 20:03
