AF just arrived, which I knew it would but I'm still down in the dumps about it. Very firmly sat on this bus now. Fingers crossed for more luck in Feb!

Where are people buying their basal thermometers for temping? I got one off amazon (babymed) but it's pretty rubbish. According to its readings I am suffering from hyperthermia Hmm

Not been using any tracking method, thought it would just happen but starting to feel like maybe it won't. Going to be keeping an eye on things more closely from now.

TinyPawz · 13/01/2016 14:18

Might be TMI but does anyone else suffer from cytolytic vaginosis? I fear I might do myself an injury if the itching does not stop

nuttynutter · 13/01/2016 21:15

No what is it is it like thrush

nuttynutter · 13/01/2016 21:18

Hi golden pineapple (waves) seen u on jan bus fx feb is ur mnth x

TinyPawz · 13/01/2016 21:37

No it's not thrush more of a painful itch. It usually coincides with ovulation which of course makes dtd utterly delightful. Salt baths help.

Hi all, I'm on CD10 now and want to dtd every day over the next week in the hope I catch the ov this time. BUT, I don't seem to have any cm at the moment, literally as dry as a bone! My ov was four days late last month and cycles messed up from my mc. I really really want my BFP this month, had such a crap few months lost my main client last week at work so rushing around looking for new ones and everyone seems to be falling pg. Should I wait a few days in case ov is late? Don't want to peak too soon, I have quite a low libido but DH is like a Labrador!

Celen · 14/01/2016 07:12

I'd personally wait another day or two if you have low libido but that's just my personal opinion!

For dry cm, try evening primrose tablets and congestion cough medicine!

Reason for cough medicine here and evening primrose here But also if you google you should find other evidence for it too. HTH Smile

I'm cd5 and just waiting for AF to leave...

Lucinda15 · 14/01/2016 08:28

celen have you been taking cough medicine? Which one do you use?

I am on cd3....its dull!!

Celen · 14/01/2016 10:51

I haven't but know people who have. It doesn't matter which brand it is as long as one of the ingredients is Guaifenesin.

I take EPO but have always taken it because I'm a horrible hormonal bitch bag a little moody around my periods Grin

Modestandatinybitsexy · 14/01/2016 12:08

Haha nutter there's no point in it if you can't joke about it!

Celen Do you have any facts about EPO? I've just started taking this and folic acid regularly ad I read on MN they can help/and are just generally good for you.

Modestandatinybitsexy · 14/01/2016 12:10

Also, does anyone have advice on which internet cheapie opk's to buy? I've decided I'm getting down to business this month!

Writerwannabe83 · 14/01/2016 14:20

Hopping on Smile

I'm 31 and TTC number 2. DS is almost 22 months. My Mirena is coming out on the 29th of January and then it's full steam ahead!!

nuttynutter · 14/01/2016 16:03

Tiny pawz sounds painful should try tea tree oil in the bath netime a get thrush it helps..hmm cough medicine aint heard of that before mite give it a bash in due time still waitin on stupid test results so we can start ttc again im just hangin out on this bus for tips and advice in the time being x whats everyone up to at the wkend

Lucinda15 · 14/01/2016 20:18

celen that made me LOL!!! I can empathise with that one - pmt has been horrendous, I think both me and my poor suffering DH have both noticed they have been even worse since mc's. Think hormones generally out of whack. I'm off to chemist Tom to get me some epo and cough medicine Grin

Havetobecrazytolivehere · 14/01/2016 21:57

Thanks Celen. I am also off to shops tomorrow to get EPO and cough medicine, I have a cold anyway and suffer terribly from pmt, would be great if it helps with ttc too. I will try and wait until weekend before doing anymore OPKs. Have an exciting weekend planned decorating my hallway!

nuttynutter · 14/01/2016 22:13

Be gd whens it done tho lol lunch tomorrow then boozin on sat had a family dinner on wed so basically been non stop eatin and drinkin all wk think i mite have a problemWink

miwelaisjacydo · 15/01/2016 06:15

Thought I would share last nights dream with you. Had the weirdest dream last night. That I was pregnant and it came to birth time and DH volunteered to have the baby for me. he had baby out of his per hole. The midwife was so pissed that DH was having the baby as for men it could cause bladder problems!!!! Read into that what you will.

nenehooo · 15/01/2016 06:43

Jumping on - was on Dec bus waves to Dec bus buddies

Temp has just dropped slightly which is a tell tale sign AF will arrive this weekend.

Age: 35
TTC #2
Cycle 3

Taking all sorts of pills and potions and spending a fortune on it Hmm due to work situation I want to get pg sooner rather than later... Which is most likely adding to the stress. Using headspace app to try to calm down about it all!

Good luck everyone!

Celen · 15/01/2016 10:04

nenehoo! Hey darlin' how are you doing? Sorry to hear you've got stress going on Sad T'is almost the weekend so make sure you have plenty of Wine and try to relaaaaaaaax Smile

Modestandatinybitsexy · 15/01/2016 13:40

miwelaisjacydo What a random dream. It must mean something, have you looked it up?

nenehooo does headspace work for you? I downloaded a different stress app and it was so nosey. I don't want to tell you how I'm feeling, I don't even know myself! I just didn't feel like I could fit all this cray into their teeny little categories.

I'm doing dry jan and it's starting to get to me, any ideas on how to unwind while on the unwine?
