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?).

Ooh come on paddington!

BowiesJumper · 14/02/2015 10:09

Sorry to hear that mummy. Here's hoping he has a swift recovery x

Quietlyhopeful81 · 14/02/2015 10:18

So glad your little guys arrived juney!

Congrats on both counts lala!! You must be over the moon ??????

Major .6 temp dip to well below coverline this morning at 9dpo. Confused Hoping it shoots back up tomorrow morning and is just a one off and not a forewarning that it's over this month.

Quietlyhopeful81 · 14/02/2015 10:19

Grrrr, used my phones smiley faces instead of mumsnetty ones.

Missed your news mummy. Thinking of you and hoping for a fast recovery for him. Flowers

loopylou1984 · 14/02/2015 10:20

So this is a positive right (opk before anyone gets excited!)?
Would tie in perfectly with my solid smiley days last month.

For anyone wanting to take Q10 but not liking the price it's half price in Holland and Barrett £10.77 for 30 tablets. 120mg.

spinningirl10 · 14/02/2015 10:31

Quietly, it could be an implantation dip, fxGrin

spinningirl10 · 14/02/2015 10:32

Fab positive there Sammy, Valentine shag laterWink

purdeybirdie · 14/02/2015 10:33

Ooh! Oooh! Could this help me know for sure which side I am going to ovulate from each month? Could it? Could it?? With only having one fallopian tube that works it would be such a bonus to know around ovulation whether it's a bust for that month:

'A woman's vulva may swell just prior to ovulation, especially the side on which ovulation will occur. One of the groin lymph nodes (on the side on which ovulation will occur) will swell to about the size of a pea, and may become tender.'

Huge congratulations LaLa - what a week!

Boosk - I'm off to a wedding later (in my bright red dress and killer heels), so I might be able to do even better than Prosecco and smuggle some Champagne onto the March bus!

Spinning and Sparkly - how were your temps this morning?

There are some really positive sounding symptoms on this bus. I would so LOVE for us to see a bumper crop of BFPs before this month's out. I have my pom poms at the ready!

Right - off to have my hair done!

purdeybirdie · 14/02/2015 10:35

Vulva being the inner labia or lips, right? So one side of the lips may be swollen just prior to ovulation on the side where the egg will be released?

Quietlyhopeful81 · 14/02/2015 10:38

That's something to keep an eye out for purdey though I can't say I've ever noticed it before.

purdeybirdie · 14/02/2015 10:39

Oh, mummy Sad I'm so sorry about your FIL Thanks

purdeybirdie · 14/02/2015 10:45

Sammy that is near-as-damnit a positive (it will be a true positive in the next few hours but I wouldn't bother obsessing over it; it's clear you're going to get one.) My prediction yesterday was true! You have 36-48 hours to get the spermz in! Plus the twelve hours after the egg is released! Smile

Spinning, Sparkly is never with us in the mornings. I suspect she perform some mind-enriching ablutions and drinks raw-emu-egg-and-linseed pancakes.

Ok fab! Maybe I do like the internet cheapie tests after all!
So do people think dtd every day for the next 3 days? Or 2 in a row miss one the do it again... Cast your votes please!

Purdey - I've never noticed but I'm going to look out for it now! Will let you know in a couple of days Smile

victoria401 · 14/02/2015 10:49

Sending positive vibes to mummy FIL Flowers

Just on my teabreak after a hectic mornings work! Getting quite strong af cramps now but no bleeding yet. I had completely forgotten but I had these exact same signs in Dec. 3 days spotting, 2 days nothing, then full blown af. My body is crap. Prob get af tomorrow. I want to give up ttc. 2 years plus is doing my nut

loopylou1984 · 14/02/2015 10:51

Thanks Purdey - will get on the case tonight! I never know whether to tell dh or just let him think I'm extra keen. He's well on board with eod but not sure what he'll make of tonight and tomorrow....

ExcitedA3 · 14/02/2015 11:00

Hi ladies, thank you all for your congratulations. I took another two first response this morning - still faint positive and then started to get a little brown discharge :( thought it was start of AF. Took another test clear blue digital this time about 20 mins ago and it said 1-2 weeks pregnant! Very confused!

Sparkly123 · 14/02/2015 11:02

Happy V Day Bus Lovers! I'm off to catch up on this mornings pages! FlowersFlowersFlowers petrol station flowers for you all!

purdeybirdie · 14/02/2015 11:06

Sammy, I hear you, sistah, but let me tell you: the next two days are crucial - far more crucial to have the spermz in place before the egg is released than what could amount to 24 hours later. Tonight and tomorrow night are the very best opportunities.

Vic, sorry AF is on its way. Don't give up until you've tried IVF. You will get your baby.

Ugh. I hate Zita West. Now she's claiming the stress of a demanding career is impeding women's chances of conceiving and that too much protein will make the body too acidic for conception. I eat precisely 21 eggs and 175g of cheese per week Sad

mummy hope your fil makes a speedy recovery.
Congrats to all the v- day bfp's.
sammy I'd go with everyday.
Upping the anti for the next cycle, some how managed to swallow my first EPO tablet, it was huge!
Purdey I know you have answered this question a million times already, but what should I shove done the DH throat to improve his swimmers?
victoria as purdey says don't give up yet, you have come too far.
