frogbubbles roughy on cd14-15

frogbubbles · 30/03/2015 19:00

Thanks lilbun

littlebbunny · 30/03/2015 19:36

frogbubbles our cycles are similar.

MissMrsMummy · 30/03/2015 20:15

Thanks frogbubbles Smile I looked at the mega bus and felt well scared! I'm quite happy pootling along here.

For a 32 day cycle you should start testing about cd15 as little says. Here is a link to the CB info sheet which has a handy chart on it:

littlebbunny · 30/03/2015 20:35

It's rather calm in here, I think I'll take this bus ride. missmrsmummy do you know when your next od is? I won't know anything until the bleeding stops and I've got no idea when that will be. Im quite eager to start again in April.

littlebbunny · 30/03/2015 20:43

dizzy I never knew that about Brazil nuts.

night if they work I'll force them down DH throat too.

joeybun hope the wicket witch doesn't show up for you.

MissMrsMummy · 30/03/2015 20:54

little what does od stand for? Ov date? My app is predicting CD14 (counting yesterday as CD1 - first day of bleeding) I am going to start opks and temping tomorrow to see what's going on. Just read about someone oving on CD8 post-chemical so be prepared!

littlebbunny · 30/03/2015 21:07

Meant to write ov date. I'm not sure where/when to start CD1. I've been spotting since the day I was supposed to have my period 23/03, but never really got going till yesterday evening. I'll need to speak with my doctor and see what she says.

frogbubbles · 30/03/2015 21:14

Thanks Miss that was really helpful I think I'm going to start day 13 we have enough sticks.

Dizzy I've bought loads of Brazil nuts, caught DS munching on them!!! Told him you had to be 18 to eat Brazil nuts so he has to keep his mitts off Wink

MissMrsMummy · 30/03/2015 21:39

Yes little see what GP says. I just read that if bleeding started after 2pm you count it as the next day. Also don't count the spotting, just the first day of fresh blood.

Glad that helped frog!

Hairstylisttoboris · 30/03/2015 21:56

missmrs just popped by to deliver you Flowers heard your news on the mega bus. Big hug to you.

MissMrsMummy · 30/03/2015 22:18

Thank you boris very kind of you to pop by. Hope you're ok

Sakura03 · 30/03/2015 22:32

Hi I'm hopping on, I recognise some of you from the earlier bussesSmile I've had a break from the busses as it all got a bit too much for me to be honest with several friends and work colleagues falling pregnant, I found myself thinking of it constantly and convincing myself it would never happen. I finally decided to take some action and had blood tests done (cd 5 and 21), I had results today and was told they were normal and that I'm ovulating, I asked if that means everything's fine like no blocked tubes or nothing or would I need an ultrasound for that (I had no idea how it works but a friend of mine told me to push for further tests as she had a blocked tube), the doctor I saw told me that as my partner already has a 17 year old son we wouldn't get any help on the NHS but that she could ask the lead fertility Dr in the surgery if they could send me for an ultrasound. I couldn't get a SA pack for my partner, he'd have to make an appointment himself. However when I initially saw a doctor - the lead fertility Dr in the surgery, she gave me the impression that she'd give it to me once back for the blood results but unfortunately I would have had to wait until 24 April to get an appointment with her so instead I opted for this other Dr. She's now suggesting I start using opks and take it from there... Sorry for this long post ladies.
Stats are: 36, ttc#1, BFP 15 April

coffeenut · 30/03/2015 23:43

dizzy if you had lots of ewcm then you probably did ov, the sticks and temp just didn’t pick it up? I’ve found both can be pretty unreliable.

littlebunny welcome and I’m sorry for your loss Flowers

Hi joey and Alpha

sakura welcome back – it can be all-consuming can’t it? You will get there!!

merry 11 years?! Shock

missmrsmummy glad you are feeling a bit more positive. Fingers crossed for you for this cycle.

Well my temp has dropped. Def out. AF due in two days time. V disappointed but so be it. Felt actually very very sad last night – I think because we have done everything “right” this cycle – we dtd every day for 8 days over the fertile period, so definitely didn’t miss it. I dropped coffee, no alcohol etc etc. I’m hoping my eggs aren’t crap now that I’m 34.

Anyway. Onwards and upwards. I’m really enjoying the serenity of this bus too Smile. Im going to try pineapple core next cycle – that’s the one that helps with implantation right?

DizzyMerry · 30/03/2015 23:59

I know coffee it must have been absolutely tortuous for them. We were ttc 3 years and whilst we were going through it, it felt like an absolute age. Sorry about the temp drop but it's not over until AF arrives.

I have posted this on the megabus but posting it here as well in case anyone can help. I think I have finally worked out what is 'wrong' with me. I got an opk on cd13 and today at cd18 I'm starting to get pre af cramps, which happens every month and I start getting snotty discharge. As I got a positive opk I am thinking that either my body is not able to ovulate or this is happening due to low progesterone? Any thoughts on this?

coffeenut · 31/03/2015 00:16

How long is your cycle Merry? Are you saying that you are about to get AF?

I got another BFN this morning, I defo out Smile. That's okay. Wobbled last night, dealt with it today (mostly!!).

Sparkly123 · 31/03/2015 00:59

I just popped over here as I heard your news Missmrs.. I'm so so sorry. Flowers we have been on the buses a little while together so was really sad for you when Spinning said you had suffered an early mc. It's heartbreaking and having your happiness snatched away from you is such a rollercoaster. I'm so glad you are able to already take the positive that you proved you can get pregnant. It's fantastic. I know you will get there again and focusing on having that elated feeling again soon is going to get you through. Having the apps lined up is great too and it's good knowing you have that arranged to discuss your worries. I hope you are not in too much pain physically and I just want to wish you lots of positive healing vibes. Star many of us have been where you are and can Relate so feel free to talk about it if you need to. Your forever BFP is coming. Pinky promise. Flowers

Sparkly123 · 31/03/2015 01:00

Hi everyone! So I just came over to see how everyone was and wow---- what a calm and easy to catch up bus this is!! Don't get me wrong I love everyone on the megabus but it is hard to keep up. This is a much better pace.. Who is driving?! Ha.

Hope you are all ok. Waves to Cariad Grin

spinningirl10 · 31/03/2015 07:34

Morning Smile

Coffee, sorry for the bfn. Hope the next cycle is your lucky one.

Merry, I saw your concerns on the other bus but I don't know the answer. It's normal to have different types of cm throughout your cycle. Have you had any tests yet or spoken to your doctor?

I'm 3/4 dpo, FF has changed it this morning from 4 to 3 but I'm not really bothered about when I ov'd just pleased I have and we can stop having forced sex!
Goodness it's so windy here today! Must go and look at the waves today, love the sea on tough daysSmile

coffeenut · 31/03/2015 07:53

sparkly we don't have a driver .... we just sort of drift calmly towards our bfps Grin

Thanks spinning, fingers crossed for you this month. I grew up by the sea, I miss walks on the esplanade on stormy days!

frogbubbles · 31/03/2015 08:05

Goodness me, it was so windy last night!! Kept me awake for ages.

CD5 here it's soooo boring, nothing of importance to update. Hope everyone else is ok this morning

nightandthelight · 31/03/2015 08:07

Sorry for BFN coffee Flowers

jugglingmonkey · 31/03/2015 08:13

Morning all,

Hope everyone well?? I was feeling very happy and excited about Ov in a week or so, but I've come down with the worst D&V ever! Praying I feel better in time for DTD!!

Think I might give the sticks a miss this cycle. They confused me last time. If we DTD every day or every other day from CD10-18 should that be sufficient?? ConfusedConfused

jugglingmonkey · 31/03/2015 08:14

Sorry coffee, has AF arrived though??

coffeenut · 31/03/2015 08:26

thanks night ... have been trying to read back through and catch up with the mega bus news, but I make it through a page and by the time I refresh, you ladies have added another three Smile. I hope you are going well this cycle!

Oh juggling you poor thing. D&V is the worst. Hopefully a 24 hr thing. No AF yet but it's coming. I've had a temp drop and a bfn at 14dpo. I'm having a wine! (it's after 6pm - I'm not having it with my porridge, don't worry)
