March bus. Free gin with every ticket.

[chasingtherainbow]

....Welcome ladies. let's get those bfp's.

I'm ok thanks Sparkly, the earthquakes were only small!!

I know, I just feel like every celebrity is bloody upduffed at the mo too! This morning I even read Lily bloody Cole is now!! Grrrrr!

To be honest I would definitely dtd on your peak days as leaflet inside box also recommends you do this and when I called Clearblue the other day having had my peak reading the lady on the phone advised us to dtd over next 48 hours for sure! Hope that helps!!

Chasing, what do you mean when you say the depo injection screwed you up for a year? Do you mean you didn't ovulate? I am sorry to hear of your failed pregnancies. TTC took on a whole new level of pressure-filled, emotionally-intense misery for me after my mmc. The desperation to get pregnant again after a miscarriage is just too much to bear at times. How many months in total have you been ttc this second baby? Do you count the year of depo screw-ups as ttc? Do you chart your temperatures? Use opks? What is methotrexate and what was it used for? Have you been reassured that the fallopian tube containing the ectopic pregnancy remains clear and unblocked?

Also Sparkly there is a chance that you may not notice a temperature shift until a couple of days after your peak days but that doesn't mean that ovulation hasn't happened before that temp rise. Sometimes it can take a couple of days for that temp rise to happen but you have ovulated before it - does that make sense?!

Spinning wow! You really are dtd! Must be that sea air.. Elevates the sex drive! Ha ha. Good work! My dh had his count checked and it's good apparently so I think we will do AI tonight again since is a peak day. Too scared to miss a day! Ha. Still in a lot of pain and swelling worse today in face but hey all I have to do is lie there! I don't even have to pretend to enjoy it like some of you lot! what's for tea?! I'm starving! Living off green juices and porridge etc. Hungry!

Tessie thanks for the info love! Glad earthquakes not too bad.. Strange sensation all the same I bet! And yes. Celebrities, family, friends .. Baby boom everywhere! Is it the fifty shades effect everyone is on about it? Mmm not so sure!

Afternoon. I'm in a stinker of a mood this afternoon. Which is ridiculous as I got an offer on my flat yesterday so I'm one step nearer to buying a house. I should be excited.

Knackered, moody and have heartburn. No idea if these are symptoms or I'm just tired.

Have sent DP out for carbs.

Dizzy noooo! First off.. Amazing news re flat, you are def one step closer to your house which is fantastic! And that will be your family home.. Once you get your BFP! Which is coming!!! Carbs always perk you up , even if temporary! You are allowed days like this. You will pick yourself up again, keep focused on the end result, and I'm keeping everything crossed for you that those are symptoms!! Here some march daffs to cheer you up! Spring is coming!

Oh.. so the depo screwed up my cycles, it was impossible to tell if I was ovulating and blood tests were like fishing in the dark.. I had scans etc. The dr told us to count each month like a cycle because I could be ovulating at any given time, so even though we knew our chances were so low we kept on actively trying. I don't chart temps as my dd wakes me during the night, but have been opking since mc. The mc "gave me back" proper cycles and they have been 28 days, at 10 am on the dot each time since. Which has obviously made this ttc much easier. The methotrexate was to dissolve the eptopic, it was caught v v early, was small and although I needed 2 shots they said the damage was little to nothing given the size (

Hello Ladies just popping into the chat, I love reading through all of the posts as I feel like I'm all alone in ttc as none of my friends and family are planning babies any time soon! I'm also driving DH mad, having to wait five months to start 'trying' this will be my 1st cycle period due in four days and it's going Sooo slowly!

Hi Avasmum welcome to the bus! Did you wait five months for any reason? Sorry you don't have to answer that at all!! Hoping the next few days go quick for you and you get your BFP very soon!

Purdey, hmmm you're right, they do seem to start dropping at 9dpo usually.... Wish I had more months of charting to compare.
Can't get excited though, did to self preserve...

Off to read back on all the other posts now! Xx

Don't want to tread on anyone's toes but wondering if there is a list anywhere of the stats of everyone on the bus? Would be really good to see how long everyone's been trying for/when bfp is due/who is upduffed etc x

Hi Mum if you read back you will find the stats that I am keeping (attached as excel documents). Will update this evening so you will be on :)

Mumof1, night has done the stats, if you look back you'll see them. You need to be on a laptop or go into MN through google to see pics.

Sparkly, I went out for a massive roast dinner with dp. Ds was at his Dads. I'm so full Is your dh a good cook?

Hi mumof1 if you go to page 24 nightandthelight has posted current stats :)

Sorry to hear some of your stories, I think about you all and have my fx that we all don't have to wait much longer x

Thank you so much night xx

I am on the mumsnet talk app & finding it a bit tricky to navigate! X

sparkly thank you so much for the reality check, you've made me go a little tearful . Another symptom! Although I've just worked out that if I have another short cycle like last month, AF could be due on Tuesday.....or anytime in between Tuesday and Friday....which could explain the sudden mood swing and tearfulness, along with this mornings temp drop. Daffs are my favourite flower, thanks!

If I don't get a bfp this week I can at least take my mind off things by trying to find a house and won't dwell on the fact I won't ov again until 26th March which is a friggin lifetime away

avasmum you certainly aren't alone here! We're very good at supporting each other through the wait

Sorry sparkly that sounds wrong! What I meant is I went a bit teary because of your nice words,

Mumof1 hi! Queen of the stats night has made a lovely spreadsheet on previous pages .. There are so many of us!

Spinning sounds good! Mouth watering sitting here sipping this! Ha ha. My dh used to do everything out a jar, and that's when he cooked.. Which was once in a blue moon as he lived off ready meals, alcohol and eating out! But since we moved in he really is starting to try and he's learned quite a lot from watching me because he needs to cook for me a lot when I'm particularly unwell so he's def getting better yep!i think he's prob pretty good compared to a lot of men. What about you?

Good luck dizzy! X

I don't use the App because I find it ridiculously hard. I find the mobile site on my phone much better AND I can see pics etc as well.

9DPO today. Temp still high but I'm not sure if it was correct so tomorrow will know for sure. Slept like poo anyway because my back (between shoulder blades specifically) was killing me.

That is fab news about the sale of your flat dizzy 26th March will be here before you know it and hopefully it will be here and you will not be thinking about ov, fx for you.

I'm currently having an argument with myself about the FRER test I have In the cupboard, have so many promising symptoms and so want to POAS tomorrow before DH jets away for work again for the week but don't want to be disappointed! Don't think I can resist.... Must resist...

Hi sparkly & everyone else. I now realise I can't see spreadsheets etc on this app! Ugh, I might have to stick to the mobile site on my phone in future! Thanks ladies x

Thanks mumof1! Good luck to you too!

baby was it you that was saying the other day about waking up early during 2ww? I'm still waking way before my alarm even though it's the weekend! My temps are anywhere between 06.00 and 07.00 but I'm not sure whether the difference of less than an hour makes much difference to temps? Hope your back feels better soon

Sparkly have you been unwell a lot? Sorry if you've already said x
