April 2015 bus #4 - Step aboard for bfps!

[auxiliaryauroch]

New bus! Ding ding! Bfp seats aplenty! Make haste!

No pink on mine miss it's just white with a blue babymad logo! Quite like the hot pink one though haha hope yours arrives soon too! X

Thanks flatwhite, and I know exactly how you feel, it's a very strong desire to have that little bundle, but we'll get there!

boris! that really made me laugh 'hope non of my colleagues are on here' ...(((((TMI ALERT!)))))this sounds stupid but i never put my finger (only other things) 'up' there cz there's sumert about it i hate where is the actually cervix situated? luckly my cm is always visable in other places haha. .. i feel like you ladies are fully qualified gynaecologists with some of the stuff i learn on here

cervix actually *

Overheard the following gem at work today:

'Dunno why some women get so over emotional if they can't get pregnant, is it really that big a deal?'

I am SEETHING with rage.

Haven't read back yet, but Parsnip that makes my blood boil!
I once accidentally stumbled across an online debate about whether IVF should be available on the nhs. The insensitive morons on there were mostly saying it shouldn't as it's not an illness.... They clearly don't know the emotional toll long term ttc takes on a person! Xx

mrsm your cervix is at the top of your vag. The walls of your vag will feel different to your cervix and have lots of lovely crevices where sperm and cm and things can fester.
At the top will be your cervix - it moves up and down and changes consistency from hardish to sponge like - depending on where you are in your cycle. So you may not always reach it.

I can, on approaching ovulation reach mine easily with a finger easily and wipe round the sides slightly to find my cm. then it goes hard and I know my dtd shag a thon is over.

Tmi?

Enjoy your dinners ladies. Stake and salad for me.

Cervix feels a bit like the end of a penis!

Sammy, I know, I couldn't believe it. Also in the room at the same time was a colleague who I know has suffered repeated miscarriages.

Hi all, I am wondering if I can join? I have been lurking for a while. Me and DH have just got married and we are keen to start TTC as soon as. I have only just come off the pill so currently don't know my cycle or anything, I have a thermometer and ovulation sticks! Hoping trial and error works for a bit!!

Oh no! Parsnip, tell me the morons didn't know about the mc?

Hi Amy, welcome to the mad bus! Sounds like you're well stocked up Xx

Thanks sammy I have been reading here for a bit and thought I should stock up. Trying to not get obsessed but it's so easy too...

Evening ladies! Loving the cervix lesson...so a cervix feels like a bellend..I've always wondered! #youlearnsomethingneweveryday ??

Welcome Amy Fellow newlywed here!

Parsnip your colleague sounds like a mega-arse! Headbutt due there I think!

Thanks for the cervix tips ladies. I'll remember them in future!

Hello Amy! Welcome to the bus. Congratulations on the recent wedding.

Parsnip that's horrible. I would be fuming if I heard that. Ignorant twat. Also, why is it always the people with the worst views who feel the need to speak up and air their opinions? Grr...

parsnip that person sounds like an ignorant twat!

missmartin I've never cervix-poked either, but very interesting lesson from boris there!

amy welcome! Congrats on your wedding and I hope your journey here is short!

jemima how are you?

I'm good thanks Woolly, if we go on the fact my micro-period was an actual period I'm CD15 so putting DH through his paces just in case

Just about to read back the whole of the day's posts but hope everyone is ok

Welcome amy. Congratulations on your wedding. Yay for temping and opks. I find it all very useful and it's helped me greatly in understanding my body and cycle.

Parsnip what an utter arse your colleague is. Ugh!!!

It's been confirmed by Dr Purdie that I ovulated on cd13. Cd16 now and still have ewcm but no more energy to dtd as we've dtd for the past 3 days!

Oh and I ovulate the day I get a positive opk. Only found this out by charting so we've timed it all wrong and dtd later rather than before ovulation.

thanks boris!! ... cervix bellend..
oohrighty then V.interesting indeedy .. welcome amy

sounds like you need a break Dizzy ..
parsnip your colleague is a dick head! ive obly been trying for 3 cycles and i feel bloody desperate.. there's a johnsons baby advert with the baby having her hair washed.. so cute! I need a baby... it infuriates me.. my dps sister is a rotten mum.. 4 kids and doesnt even look after/live 2 of them they live with the grandparents because she couldnt be arsed with them and she gets pregnant at the drop of a hat and she dosent even care for her kids ... grrrr makes me sooo mad.. especially when theres people out there who cant have a baby!

Good work jemima, cover all bases!

dizzym I'm so glad things are clearer now, fx it happens this month but you're armed with more knowledge now and knowledge is power! Haha I'm excited to start temping tomorrow, do you manage to take your temp at consistent times each day?

missmartin that johnsons advert totally gets to me too - talk about aching ovaries!! Haha
agree it's so very frustrating coming across stories like that

Welcome Amy and congrats on your recent wedding :)

It breaks my heart to hear stories like that missmartin there's no fairness in ttc.

Woolly I have managed to take my temp consistently. I was initially falling asleep with the thermometer in my mouth but the beep would wake me up so I'd just do it again I case it was wrong. At first it seems a bit pointless but the real satisfaction comes at ovulation time as the chart then starts to come together. It's amazing what temping can tell you. My progesterone level was only 17 but I am ovulating so that's a good thing. Sorry, I'm getting carried away now with excitement!!!

dizzy.. how do you check your progesterone levels?
im looking forward to start temping! ill do everything possible to feel like im doing the most i can.. woo being proactive!!!
you starting tmmra woolly? what cd are you on atm?

((((oh btw...ive slightly changed my name from missmartin1992))))))
