It's staying light longer and we are taking the opportunity to get well and truly upduffed, yes that's right, three BFPs in one day! That's the May bus for you.

Forgive me ladies but I must rush, DH is waiting to inseminate me!

btw, speaking of familiar faces before has anyone heard anything of Spinning? Not seen her for a while.

I have to say as I get closer to the day of AF it's getting harder not to symptom spot. I have nausea, I'm randomly going between feeling hot and getting these funny little chills, and my BBT temps are still up. I just have to keep telling myself that I had most of these last month and I wasn't pregnant then. AF is due sometime between now and Wednesday... I will be testing on Thursday morning if she hasn't arrived by then. God this week is going to be so damn slow!!

Southy I had a few sessions of reflexology before moving to acupuncture. It was nice and I could feel twinges when she pressed on a pressure point. Not had it long to see any benefits though.

I've got loads of ewcm so will dtd tonigh in case my body is trying to ov.

Actually that wouldn't be possible as I'm on cd30. My body's playing tricks on me!

Hi all

Someone pointed me in your direction

Thanks Trixie for asking after me. How are you? I'm ok thanks, af arrived on Friday, one day early. I left the Megabus but if it's ok with everyone I'll take a seat here

I'm still in Tenerife but fly back tomorrow for the summer so I'm busy cleaning today!

I'll add stats and catch up a little in a few days when I've got sorted back in UK.

Hope everyone here is well and we see some bfps very soon xx

dizzym that's really weird, my body is also up to mischief! I've had loads of wet cm today, tmi but enough to soak the lining in my knickers at one point.....

No idea whether this means my body is trying to ov (over a week late as I'm now cd27) or it's impending AF (but she'd be several days early as not expected until the weekend) as I do usually feel a bit wetter right before she comes. Either one of those will suit me, but if it's ov I would kinda like to know whether I need to dtd or not!!

I've started eating Brazil nuts again the last few days, maybe they're working their magic?!

spinning nice to see you here, hope the journey home isn't too stressful.

banana hang in there, Thursday will be here soon enough!

trixie how much are the batteries? Will have a look on Amazon... I really don't want to waste any more money on shitty digital thermometers but I don't want to have to stop temping either. Hopefully I'll get a replacement for my mercury thermometer and I'll stick with that in future.

I've done opks but negative so I think it's just pre AF cm in my case. The cycle I want her to show her face she plays games with me!

Definitely thinking the thermometers are inaccurate! I will continue for another month at least tho, my post OV temps are looking better than pre ov, well less rocky anyway!

Thanks for the info trixie how often do you have reflexology sessions? I really hope it helps my pmt, I turn into a stroppy cow and I just can't help it, I feel so bad for dh, I kind of get angry with everything....

How are you getting on with accupuncture merry that is also on my list (but as it's more expensive it's on hold for the minute) :)

Hi spinning good to see you, hope you're well.

Fx for you banana it's so hard not to symptom spot. I'm awful for it. Ff is telling me as this is my first month temping to take a pg test at dpo 18!!! Only dpo 9 today :( to be honest I doubt i would even get to that point in my cycle before AF appears but seriously that's so long to wait

The problem is with symptom spotting is that for me personally I get all of the symptoms or none at all during my tww! It always makes me chuckle when other people discuss their symptoms before bfp because you can guarantee I've had the same symptoms without the bfp!

dizzy FYI I found some batteries on Amazon for under 2 quid for a pack of 10.... They're called lp41's or something similar....assuming yours uses the same battery.

It's good to see you spinning. How is Tenerife? Are you looking forward to settling over there? Safe travels back and looking forward to hearing more from you.

Southy I've only had two sessions so far but with different ladies as I wanted to test them both out. I have settled with the one who also has endo as she has more knowledge of my condition and is generally more knowledgeable. I only need to see her twice a month pre and post ov, which is what she recommends when dealing with fertility issues so for me it's worked out cheaper than the weekly reflexology sessions. It is utterly relaxing and I'm hoping I'll see some benefits soon. Seeing her again tomorrow.

Thanks for the info dizzy will have a look tomorrow and get ordered tomorrow. I may just pick a thermometer up from tesco tomorrow to compare.

Well no AF so far, which means my LP is at least 11 days long this cycle (instead of 10 days last cycle), so it looks as though the B vitamin complex is working. Yay!! Hopefully the witch won't turn up at all, but at least if she does turn up I know I am on the right track.

Hi Spinning! Lovely to see you though was hoping that you had got your BFP and I had just missed it. Sorry for AF.
I'm ok. DH and I decided to go down the IVF route and are due to start on Monday, exciting but scary. I've mainly been on the 10 month plus and infertility pages now but can't quite leave the bus.

DizzyNorthern, I'm sorry I really can't remember, it has been ages since I last temped.

Southy, I was just having one session a month usually around day 7. I'm going to have a few more sessions this month alongside the IVF to help keep me nice and relaxed. I used to be an absolute nightmare, my DH literally could not do anything without me going off on one. I still have my moments but nowhere near as bad as before.

I tested but BFN. Then I read the expiry date on the test and googled to discover that a three year old test won't work . AF should technically have arrived yesterday, so I guess I'd best buy a new test tomorrow...

The reflexology lady ive spoken to says an app once a month, but the accupuncture lady said once a week to me merry, it's interesting how each gives different advice.

I can't wait to start now trixie, I have had my massive temp dip and massive stomach pains so think AF will arrive today :( there was slight light brown cm last night and that was only 10dpo so starting vit b again. I don't want to get out of bed, feeling sorry for myself.

Hope everyone else is ok, sorry for bfn kleine but hopefully it's just the test being old

Hallo lovely may bus! Sorry I've been awol. Things messy here so no time or energy for Internet. Hope you're all doing very well and there have been last minute May bfps and that those of you already in the June tww have excellently high temps!

Kleine - I've got my fingers crossed for your fresh test. Hopefully it was just an old crap test being crap.

Southy - awwww, for you. Hopefully it's not the red witch, but if it is then make sure to have lots of - doctor's orders! I'm not a medical professional

Latest update from me - still no sign of AF. She is definitely due by today at the latest, so if she hasn't showed up by tomorrow morning I will be testing. I had a load of random back ache / cramps all day yesterday (like the start of period pain) and kept rushing to the loo thinking AF had started, but nothing. So goodness only knows what that was. Temps still going up, but mine don't tend to drop until after AF has actually started... So I have no idea what's going on. But I'll know by tomorrow morning, one way or the other.

dizzym did you find a new thermometer? I've struggled in the past looking for better quality thermometers, all that seems to be out there is the cheapo ones from Amazon and eBay, unless you want to spend a lot of money.

The company that make my analogue thermometer have said that mine sounds faulty and are sending me a replacement. I really hope this one works because I'm keep to get to the bottom of what is going on. I don't feel I can go to my GP to ask why I'm not ovulating unless I have actual proof with charts that reflect this...at the moment I have questionable charts taken with possibly unreliable thermometers...this has been going on for four months now!

I found a thread on another site with lots of comments similar to mine, ladies with flat temps or temps that appear time and time again on the chart...they reckon it's a problem with the chip inside the unit....it's not normal to have lots of the same temps throughout the month which is why I feel I can't rely on the charts I've been producing.

I've been assuming I didnt ovulate this month but what is I did? I'm almost tempted to poas just in case . If I did I could be 11dpo by now so would be justified in a test in the next few days...... or am I just kidding myself......

waves at august

Got my fingers crossed for you banana

southy sorry to hear AF might be on its way.

Any news for you kleine?

Ooohh DizzyN! I think I would be waiting until AF was due and then testing if I were you. Sounds like all your temps might be wrong. Stupid ruddy unreliable thermometers!

Also thanks for the crossed fingers.

DizzyN I can't find any that I think may be more reliable and as you say it's mostly the cheapo ones available. Yesterday's temp was 35.89 and today it's 35.79 but AF has finally arrived so maybe mine is working ok because I really don't think I did ov and no pre AF symptoms either. You may have ovulated but I would wait a couple of days and then test. Also none of the GP's I've seen have been remotely interested in charts. The first they will do is check you are ovulating so it's worth seeing them just in case.

Aug good to see you. Hope you're ok.

Southy hope AF stays away. It's random this alternative medicine in how much treatment they recommend. Mine only does pre and post ov but reflexologist said every week to 'balance the hormones'. As long as something works it's all worth it

Kleine have you bought a new test? Your post made me chuckle!

I have decided to go for a private HSG test. I contacted a couple of clinics yesterday to ask whether they can make this any easier as I had an awful experience with a HSG a few years ago. One got back to me and said they do it under sedation but I would need a consultation with their Dr. I am waiting for them to contact me with an appointment. I'm on cycle 14 now so it's time I started finding out if there are any other issues going on.

Fx for you banana.

Thanks dizzym, I had thought that I should probably make an appointment anyway seeing as it's been six months now, but I'd just wanted to be certain my charts were correct before using them as 'evidence' of lack of ov (it's the detective in me lol ) I didn't realise that they wouldn't be interested in the charts. I'm like you, I'm pretty certain I haven't ov'd as I have absolutely no symptoms....but last month I did get a thermal shift and I had no symptoms then either...I'd just like to know 100% either way but I guess it's going to be down to the docs to ascertain that now. Sorry for AF but fx for the next cycle and your private appointment too if you've decided to go for it!

Your Dr may show an interest but whenever I suggested temping they all rolled their eyes! I really want to get another thermometer but I'm just not sure which to get as I don't want to spend too much and I'm wary of the cheaper ones. I'm just waiting for confirmation of my appointment. I'm so excited!

Ladies I didn't post for so long this dropped of the list of threads I am on! I am so sorry :(

Any news kleine? Have you bought a new test?

banana I am so excited for you tomorrow!

Congrats on making your hsg appt merry :)

Dizzy did you mention TTC to your doc (in my head you were doing it at same time as ENT appt which was yesterday but I may have that wrong?
