Come join us on the bumsnet conception bus

[loopylou1984]

Reinstating the gin deck from a previous bus for AF arrivals, and stocking up on pineapple juice and Brazil nuts, fx for lots of BFPs this month.

night nice to have you around still. X

I'm afraid you are stuck with me Boris until every single one of you has your bfp :)

Thanks Boris

So nice having the week off down South! Off to see my Mum today and an old friend. Taking ds Rock pooling

I love seeing all the grads popping back on here

morning!

Sorry to everyone who's got AF. Surely there must be another bfp due for those of us testing this week?

But that won't be from me! Temps are now on a steady decline and I got a bfn this morning.

Oi! I won't hear a word against my rice cake and Nutella combo! It's my way of having a low calorie chocolatey treat! lets ignore the fact I had a bag of maltesers at work last night

kir I'm hanging out here until whenever. Likely until I'm 12 weeks. Hah hah! I'm only 4.3 weeks in anyway AND besides that's only really 2.3 weeks in. That's like nothing. Reminds self that it will all be okay

Oops! Hoping for a bfp around 24/8 which would be a nice present for my dad... to let him know he would be a grandad again

Felt pretty chipper an hour ago despite the bfn. Now I'm fed up. This business is so fucking boring. I might have a couple of months off. Roll on Thursday for my test results. This is going to be a long week.

dizzyn xf for useful news for Thursday!

dizzyn start of the month always is the crappiest bit - waiting for fertile time, the long wait until bfp date...I'm feeling it too right now. good luck for thurs. I'm sure you'll be given the all clear.

My AF had disappeared to spotting and now there's a light, red flow again. Rubbish! I want sex!

When should i start opks if taking SIs? Last month I didn't on until cd27 but if SIs put my ov forward I guess I need to start cd10 or something to make sure I don't miss it. Will be dtd eod at least anyway.

DizzyN good luck for Thursday.

Kir haha I always want sex when I have Af. Im going to be good and not drink this week due to slimming world but the following weekend I have a bbq to host so I will definitely be drinking.

I've purchased my cb opks for this month and I think I'll just use those nothing else to see if I'm ovulating or not. Then the following month I'll do opks, soy and epo.

Kir ive only ever used cb opks and I think based on my cycle 31 days they tell me to start using them on day 11

Oops I just checked on the cb chart and it says I should test from cd14. How long is your cycle

Here's the chart

Sorry for all the af's guys. Surely by law of averages there should have been a bfp in there :-(

Also lurking until everyone has a bfp!!

Kir I ovulated on CD20 last cycle, and the ClearBlue Fertility Monitor has told me to start testing on CD9...I took SI CD2-6 both last month and this month, though didn't take them to bring O forward (took them in th] hope of getting my polycystic ovaries to lay an egg full stop!) so not sure how you'd want to adjust your own testing this cycle vs last cycle...

Not sure that was v much help was it?!

Although tbh I'm prob mainly doing this to chart my cycle, as DH is away CD12-18

So if I do ovulate this month, I hope it isn't much earlier than last month! Not anticipating ovulating anyway -but even if so, don't hold out much hope of being able to try to catch the egg this cycle!!

Eurgh well after thinking my cycle had finally settled as its been 31 days for 6 months now always spitting on cd31 then full Af d32. This month it's decided to follow a different pattern. Yesterday I had pink streaks in cm and now today cd33 I have brown blood. What's going on

Is it possible you ovulated late beaut?

Spitting lol I meant spotting. I had ewcm in cd 17 DizzyN I think that's about the norm for me. I'm just wondering if epo could have made a difference

Hmm I don't know anything about epo so hopefully someone else could answer that. But unless you're temperature charting you won't know for certain when you've ovulated, it could have been a day or so late which is why your AF is late.

Hi everyone

dizzy what a horrible situation to be put in, bil is an absolute shit!!!

I still have 11 days till af turns up and iv started spotting today, what the hell is going on, sick of my body, can't wait to go to my appointment and hopefully get this sorted out!!

I take EPO but only from CD1 until ovulation, to increase CM. I stopped after ovulation because of the potential effect on uterine cramping. I afraid I don't know about any effects on ovulation timing, sorry can't be more help x
