I would like to join th February bus please. I have had brown spotting all day which is getting heavier even though AF isn't due until Sunday but this is now all mine start. So onwards and upwards cycle 6 better be lucky for me! I will be testing on 6th Feb (scheduled AF) and not before haha who am I kidding

IndiX · 08/01/2016 18:23

Littlebelle sorry to hear about AF, you're due the same time as me so we can promise each other not to test too early haha

KatOnATinRo0f · 08/01/2016 18:53

Friday list update below. Im not sure if i've missed anyone who has hopped onto the February bus, I think so... Lillian/Ni??

Choc and Stark are blatantly upduffed so will be needing runner to direct them to the grad bus.

Bubbles... please don't leave us just yet! haha

re cervix.. im not sure i am overly able to detect the position of it when i'm dtd or otherwise?? Maybe i need to pay more attention???

re frequency - We dtd every other day from CD3 this cycle (dont worry...short AFs...) and every day 3 days in a row over my strongest OPK tests, then missed a day, one more for good luck ... (and only once in the last week, I'm a bad inconsiderate wife.... lol)

Welcome to the February bus LittleBelle It's a shitty place to be, but we'll be the best company we can although slightly mental and asking daily about your pissy stick result

Really looking forward to this year, af has pissed off and I'm feeling delightful again. Got a trip to Dubai planned, as well as a weekend away in a log cabin in Northumberland and a hol in Greece but only 2 days off in January so I can pay for it. We figured this could bloody better be our last summer just the 2 of us. And would you believe they all coincide with my fw Wink

Mileymoocow · 08/01/2016 18:57

Am I the only one who cringes at the thought of feeling for my cervix? I suppose it could be the thought of my pointy acrylic nail prodding round in there but it makes me feel a little bit Urgh Blush

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 18:58

CD15. CM has gone from bitty with little white clumps to clear and smooth. Sorry if TMI. I am hoping this is a positive sign.

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 18:58

You start to go a little insane after a 77 day cycle!

LittleBelle90 · 08/01/2016 19:34

Thanks indi and miley I'm going to try thinking postive and make a plan of action for after AF. I'm thinking DTD every other day then every day when I get +opk for a few days. This time round I'm also going to do opk every day even after my +opk to make sure I don't miss a second one if there is one like stark did.

I'm not on for examining my cervix either. I wouldn't have a clue what I'm feeling for.

Chocaholic88 · 08/01/2016 19:41

Hahaha don't get me excited kat 😉😉

Ooo that just made me cringe miley ... I can just tell during dtd if everything is a little deeper or not 🙈🙈 I couldn't be poking around up there! Lol

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 19:55

I think I am only comfortable checking cervical position as I'm a doctor

Evergreen15 · 08/01/2016 20:17

Hahaaaaa FXskip hahaaaa "I appreciate his optimism but I'll not be seeing him again!!" Brilliant!!!!
Love this thread. Here I am watching CSI stuffing my face with ChocolateWineall thanks to AF.
DP was a bit confused when I said take me to the shop I need wine, but then I explained I decided to allow myself wine whilst ok my period (I have already given up coffee - worst headache on day 1 ever- and alcohol)
Oh well :-)

Evergreen15 · 08/01/2016 20:25

Miley sooooo happy you mentioned this. It can be some sort of trauma , but just the thought of feeling my cervix makes me nauseous. No idea why ( I work in science and I have dissected my first share of everything)
For some reason (and wonder if it is the scratching with my nails as well) I can't even think about it. I can't!!! ConfusedConfusedConfused
I thought I was the only one and google "feel cervix feel sick" "can't touch my cervix normal?" And all that Hahaaaaaa
I CAN'T DO IT!

leoniethelioness · 08/01/2016 20:58

Checking cervical position doesn't bother me either but my nails are short. I'm not really sure what I'm feeling around for so I don't do it (apart from when I was trying to figure it out for Ovia purposes)

KatOnATinRo0f · 08/01/2016 21:05

Miley the Feb bus is going to be party-town once you lot get dtd!!! You'll be at it while half of us are waiting for our stop off the January bus!

KatOnATinRo0f · 08/01/2016 21:06

Also whereabouts in greece are you going?

Mileymoocow · 08/01/2016 21:07

evergreen I feel mine crawling into my uterus at the thought of it. You're not alone!

KatOnATinRo0f · 08/01/2016 21:08

Evergreen oOo what sort of scientist are you?

And I for one could do with a little lesson from Dr First about cervical examination.

Im sure I could do it... I'm medical based too but the wrong end for me...

KatOnATinRo0f · 08/01/2016 21:10

Leonie did you ever think in a million years that you would be prodding around inside your lady garden at the say-so of an app you downloaded onto your phone?!? Crazy times...

Mileymoocow · 08/01/2016 21:10

Kat I'm off to Zante (for the 3rd time!!) Greece is my favourite place, the people are absolutely amazing. I've been to a few of the islands and Thassaloniki as my auntie lives there lucky cow

Mileymoocow · 08/01/2016 21:11

Same here Kat I'm in chemistry and it's not happening for me, either.

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 21:15

kat its the right end for me!

KatOnATinRo0f · 08/01/2016 21:20

First we probably covered that end of the body briefly in first year then never mentioned it again. I do remember having to examine some breast lumps tho as an undergrad.

Chocaholic88 · 08/01/2016 21:22

Apart from feeling a little sick at the idea of poking around for my cervix and then not knowing what is even a good sign... I am feeling remarkably relaxed tonight. Even if I have felt sick on and off all day... perhaps the blood test delay is a good thing?!

AllyBali123 · 08/01/2016 21:25

Choc sorry to hear about the appt being cancelled but your right your not out till your out!!

Well I'm CD20 and cramping I had yesterday is away, had quite a lot of CM this morn but no other symptoms Hmm

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 21:27

kat I'm O&G so very comfortable with all this. Doesn't help my cycles come back any quicker after pill though!
