Welcome to the March bus, every one welcome!

Remember to update us and for ease please post your update in a separate post with lots of #### to signify an update.

I'm weaning you guys off the gin, it's not good for the eggies! Instead we have some of Sparkly's green gunk! Wink

Happy shagging/syringing! Grin

I've tried conceive plus and preseed (I think the housekeeping nicked the CP when we were on holiday) and preseed is much better for me, it seems to last a lot longer.
CD13 today, but we can't try this month. Well, we can, but until I've had my op I'm basically infertile, so there's no chance of a BFP.
I've got to phone the clinic tomorrow to see what my consultant has decided on. My last scan was two weeks ago, and I was told to leave it a week or two and then contact the clinic of I'd not heard anything, so that's what I've done. No letter or phone calls, and we've had another wasted month now, and I don't know if I've been booked in for the op or not, so hope to get some info at least tomorrow.
Congrats to all with BFPs!

Hello all. Bonkers busy at work but wanted to hop on quickly.

Tessie, what line of work are you in? Feel free to ask away, by pm if you'd prefer.

Lucie, nice to see you. I'm glad things continue to progress for you. Keep us updated!

Purdey, sorry you've had a rubbish few days. I must admit I was taken aback by you unleashing on me but hey ho, ttc is fucking stressful and it manifests in lots of different ways. Thanks for the Flowers. And yes, I am a slight brainbox (ie nerd) but I love my job. I was born here in Australia, then moved to the UK in 2010. Worked there for three years then had my little girl, and we left when she was about 10 months old. I miss London and I love Melbourne - if I could live in both at once I would.

Congrats to the bfp s! And there is a disturbing spate of AFs too, they can all just fuck off.

I feel a bit nauseated today. Love to think it's a symptom but really I'm quite anxious which I think is the culprit.

AF due tomorrow.

PurdeyBirdie · 05/03/2015 00:08

mama thank you for being gracious. I don't know if it's the stress of ttc or not. I'm feeling generally unhappy, unsettled, unfulfilled and anxious lately. DH losing his job has been horrid and my foray into the world of work after eight years is scaring me.

Sorry for moaning. Do you know why you have felt anxious today?

Nomio230 · 05/03/2015 00:42

Sorry you are feeling so down at the minute, purds. It is shit when you get into that kind of state.

Do you have any hobbies that might help you relax? I realise I sound like a fifties housewife, but I find things like baking, crochet, etc really therapeutic.

MaMaPo · 05/03/2015 01:58

Yep - anxious about the impending arrival of AF. Having a frankly awful day at work (changing deadlines means I'm under the pump) and so of course AF arrived in the middle of it. Haven't got time for lunch, let alone for wallowing.

Your situation sounds really shit Purdey. What do you think you can do about it?

Mumof1sofar · 05/03/2015 06:10

Congrats mrscat!

Woolly we are using preseed for the first time this cycle & so far so good. I've been using it with the applicator but don't need v much of it at all. Fx for us all!

Thinking of you, purdey. Sorry for those af has got.

I'm just up with my little dd who has decided now is the time to get up! I am trying to convince her otherwise (she's only 10 months so doesn't quite understand lol).

Good luck to anyone testing this morning & hope everyone has a good daySmile

woodpigeon123 · 05/03/2015 06:25

I've finally got my non-flashing peak smiley! After 6 days of flashing.... Phew!

I think it says I am supposed to stop testing now?

And try to DTD today, tomorrow, and maybe a day after too do you think?

loopylou1984 · 05/03/2015 06:49

Morning All Smile

Wood pigeon congrats on the solid smiley! You'll have to stop testing now as that solid smiley will stay on the screen for 2 days.

Lucie - where did you find that information? I'm struggling to find anything useful. Xx

Rainy34 · 05/03/2015 06:57

Morning everyone, Af has got me good and proper in the night, i am not going to join any other buses, i just can't do this anymore, its affecting my state of mind, i need to step back and enjoy life and that is not happening at the moment , i will still pop in from time to time and keep my eye on you all, good luck and wishing all well

dojo123 · 05/03/2015 07:01

Morning

AF is being a bitch and has kept me awake most of the night even with painkillers.
Do I class this as CD1 or yesterday a CD1 as I was showing quote a bit yesterday evening but nothing during the day?

loopylou1984 · 05/03/2015 07:10

Sorry rainy and dojo about af.

Dojo - I think of yesterday wasn't proper bleeding then you count today... That's what I've done anyway.

Rainy - sorry you're feeling so sad, I completely understand. We're having a relaxed month with no temping etc, but I find these forums a comfort so can't give them up too. Hope you feel better soon, remember it's partly the hormones making you feel like this. Xx

MaMaPo · 05/03/2015 07:20

Oh rainy, I'm sorry. AF got me too and it just sucks. I'm a bit worried because this time I had barely any hope. Good luck to you and you're welcome back any time.

Very glad I have a consultant appt in ten days. I need someone else to take charge of my fertility as I'm not cutting it.

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/03/2015 07:21

Morning!

Woke up this morning and was pleased to see my temp was still up. Then I went out for and early run and gave just got back to find the arrival of brown cm. Bang on fucking cue Angry.

So it looks like I'm probably out for this month. Af will arrive on Saturday. Bint.

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/03/2015 07:23

Ugh and in my annoyance it seems I can't type either!

Sorry to mamapo and rainy. We can get through this together girls Flowers x

wotsits1 · 05/03/2015 07:23

Ugh Dojo hope your OK. AF is the epitome of evil. If you were showing quite a bit in the evening then maybe still count yesterday as cd1. If it had just been a little bit with today a proper bleed I would've said today... But if you had a proper bleed last night I'd say start with yesterday as cd1.

Rainy... Hope you're OK? TTC can be super stressful and totally demoralising. Best of British to you.

Well, Its 11dpo in the wotsit house and no af... Yet! Did hpt with fmu this morning but bfn. I'm just not feeling it this month either. Wish AF would just hurry the feck up then I can get started on the next cycle!

wotsits1 · 05/03/2015 07:24

Sorry Dizzy! What dpo are you? Could it be implantation?

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/03/2015 07:29

Nah wotsits, I'm on cd33/15dpo but af due cd35 and I always start with brown cm two days before proper flow kicks in. The pattern is all too familiar I'm afraid!

wotsits1 · 05/03/2015 07:35

Awww sorry Dizzy. AF is a witch!!

spinningirl10 · 05/03/2015 07:43

Morning Grin

Purple, thanks for reporting back with the scan info. Pleased it went ok. Maybe mine won't be internal.

Sorry af has arrived for you mamapo and rainyThanks

Rainy, sorry you're down and leaving us. Af arriving is always such a downer. What is your doctor doing for you?

Dizzy, sorry it looks like af's on her way. Well done on the early run, how far do you run? Its too cold for me at the moment and I did an early morning workout at home. Itching to get out running again and now the lighter mornings are here I must make more effort.

Ff confirmed ov for me this morning and puts me at 3dpo.

Hairstylisttoboris · 05/03/2015 07:50

Sorry to all those struggling and feeling down Flowers
I'm hanging in here for glittery retesting. Looks promising :)
And congrats mrs on the bfp may it be a sticky heathy bean. X

nightandthelight · 05/03/2015 07:52

Congrats MrsCat :)

Sorry for those who have had AF arrive Flowers

Spinning it is v tasty, much better than shop beans in my opinion!

CM related question again! Last cycle I had one day of clear watery followed by two days of ewcm and then it dried up (this is going by what was visible in my pants). This month I had the watery creamy stuff that may have been sperm and then two days of clear watery stuff and today it has dried up (has followed the same pattern of cycle days as last month just different types of CM). Ovia is panicking me by saying that if I am dry at this point in my cycle I should go to the doctor! Have I not ovulated? :(

HeirToTheIronThrone · 05/03/2015 07:59

Hugs for you Dojo and Rainy, look after yourselves.

I've been looking back and concluded that although I get positive opk and temp rise, I never see any ewcm - it seems to just stay white and creamy the whole time. Do you think this is something to worry about?? I am going to see my GP this afternoon about something totally unrelated to TTC, but may bring it up with him (though they probably hate it when you go for one thing and then say 'oh and whilst I'm here'...)

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/03/2015 08:10

Morning spinning! I never usually run early, but I've got a training course today and I don't need to be at work until 10am. Thought I'd take advantage of the 6am temping alarm call to get out before the sun came up. Lovely! Should do it more often! Today I ran my standard 4.5 miles but at the moment I do anything up to about 7 miles, time permitting. A year ago I was running up to 20 miles as I did my first marathon but this ttc malarkey this year has distracted me and I'd probably die if I tried to run more that 10 at the moment Sad.

DizzyNorthernBird · 05/03/2015 08:12

night I wouldn't worry too much, it's not that long since you had your coil out is it? Could your body still be settling down?

loopylou1984 · 05/03/2015 08:16

Heir - I'd be interested to know the answer if you do ask as I've only ever sen ewcm once.... And I couldn't be 100% sure it wasn't leftover spermies ?? Xx
