[BorisIsBack]

All aboard the bumsnet bus!

This bus if for anyone genuinely ttc, for anyone just starting on the tTC journey or thoes who have been trying for years.

No entry requirements, only that you join in supporting us all to destination BFP.

Hello everyone! I hope everyone's having a nice weekend.

I agree DizzyM, and would have liked the test done for the reasons you state.

Rainy I hope ov is imminent with all your dtd - sounds like great timing!

Waves to Kellz

No news from me - temping is not going well - I'm day three in and I already have an open circle! However, I aim to improve.

Genghis I think that's why it's good to start temping mid cycle as it gives you a chance to get into he habit before doing a full cycle. You'll be a pro in no time!

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend!

Gengis I think that means you've managed 2 days more than I ever did. Best of intentions....

Thanks for setting the bar so high Boris

I like your thinking Magpie! If you're still on holiday, I hope you're having a great time (though it must be strange not being able to have a drink while on your hols!)

I'm back home now, it was strange being not being able to drink but entirely worth it (though I did glare at DH whenever he had a beer )

Hey, hope you're all having a great weekend!

magpie hope you had a lovely time away
genghis I'm guilty of always having open circles on my chart, i think it depends on how late you were taking it - if it's only an hour for example I don't think it matters too much. But just bear in mind that it can sometimes make it difficult to pinpoint ov so being consistent is the best approach.

I'm cd19 and have been seeing fertile cm for the last couple of days. We haven't had time at all to dtd yet though (actually haven't done it at all for about a month ) as we've been really busy all weekend. Hopefully we'll get to do it later and again in a couple of days. But I don't really fret too much about it these days so if we don't I'm not really fussed. We kind of decided we wouldn't bother too much until after I've had more tests done anyway.

I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment anyway, I seem to have constant heartburn all of the time and I don't know why. I don't know where to start with trying to figure out which food might be causing it, and I don't want to bother my doctor as I'm sure she must think I'm a hypochondriac!

Hi Genghis my temps are all over the shop this month I'm confused.

magpie hope you had a good holiday

DizzyN I've been getting fertile cm too Fx for us. I've also been feeling rotten this month. Sick,heartburn just lost my appetite which the scales aren't Complaining about.
I hope you get to dtd soon xx

I hope ovulation happens soon for you DizzyN and Kellz

Thanks for the consistency tip DizzyN - I think I will struggle with weekends but will see. Day 5 and DP finally noticed the beeping today - he thought it was a smoke alarm - in his defence he had just woken up!

I hope the heartburn clears up for both of you - I've never suffered but it doesn't sound pleasant.

CD29 here - come on AF, shake a leg.

Hope you had a lovely time magpie.

Kellz hope ov doesn't keep you waiting too long.

Dizzy I used to get a bit of heartburn when eating chocolate. Could it be that? Thankfully I can eat loads now without it bothering me. Hope you ov soon and can manage to dtd but good on you for not stressing.

AF arrived today fully expecting as bfns since 12dpo but somehow I got to 15dpo
DH had a call from our local hospital saying they could fit him in on 1 June for his SA. He decided
to take the appointment and then go private depending on the results. I can understand his reasons but it's so annoying when he keeps changing his mind!

Has anybody heard of Arvigo massage therapy, also knows as maya abdominal massage? I heard about it from my acupuncturist and have decided to give it a go. May as well try what I can before we do IVF!!!

Ghengis DH used to sit bolt upright when I first started temping and frighten the life out of me! Apparently it was very loud

Genghis and DizzyM I'm still getting cramping, temps went up last two days so will see, but since AF finished I've been getting loads of ewcm so god knows

Sorry about AF DizzyM - I also test early, and find it makes AF's arrival easier (not sure how!) Good news about the earlier appointment for your DH - like you say, he can still go private afterwards if need be. I've never heard of Arvigo massage therapy but look forward to hearing about it!

I hope ov happens soon Kellz - the last thing you need is more frustration in your cycle!

DizzyN Hope you managed to dtd! Also, how is your house purchase going? Will you be moving soon?

CD31 here and am thoroughly annoyed that AF still hasn't arrived as it's throwing off my 'Don't Travel Dates' for DP. To go with my thermometer I also got some ICs so felt like a true TTCer using them (bfn) but I didn't realise they were so small. No wonder people post asking if others can see a line - I don't know if I'd trust my eyes either!

Genghis sorry your body is confusing yiu and messing with your plans. If only they would work to order.

Waves to everyone else.

Genghis im really thinking im not ovulating this cycle despite having all the symptoms, my temps have been all over the shop. im not using opks as they get me upset when i dont get positive ones!

This is my chart?

genghis we dtd last night and my temp increased slightly today...I'm hoping that means ov but i know my body likes to trick me so well see how the next few days go. Luckily I'm off at the weekend so we can hopefully squeeze another in. Not much is happening with the house atm, mortgage offer has just come through today so I guess we're just waiting for solicitors now. Hopefully we'll exchange in the next week and get a moving date!

kellz I'm sorry but I don't think you've ov'd yet. Possibly an anovulatory cycle? Which is really frustrating and I feel for you. I gave up opks for the same reason, they used to make me so stressed. I just rely on cm as my signal now.

waves back at boris

dizzym I don't eat much chocolate lately so I just don't know.....it's feeling a tad better today but I haven't done anything different! Oh and great news about your dh's appointment, at least he doesn't have to pay! I've not heard of that massage, might have to google to see what it's all about!

GenghisKahnSchmitz I'm hoping we have done enough,this month, trying not to get too hung up on it!!

Kelzhopefully being on holiday will help, least your holiday will give you something to look forward too!!

Dizzymerrysorry Af got you!! least he has got an appointment through, just all the waiting about is so annoying

I noticed this month my cm was watery and now turned to school glue , did not have any ewcm, hoping that i did ovulate and not annovlatry cycle, i did notice last thursday i had really bad pain down one side of me, was not sure if it was to do with ovulation or if i just needed a big p**, sorry!!!,

I got some great news this week that my dad's cancer has gone, we are so relived!!!

Rainy great news about your dad :) xx

DizzyN I know I haven't ovulated yet as my ewcm hasn't cleared up.
I have no idea what's wrong but I'm getting loads of ewcm to the point I keep thinking AF has started. Grrr. I'll be giving up shortly

Rainy I hope so but was away in March and it didn't happen then either, great news though honey, you'll be glad it's gone xx

Wonderful news about your Dad Rainy! It must be such a relief - I'm sure you're all walking around on cloud 9 Also hoping it wasn't an anovulatory cycle for you!

Kellz sorry the frustration continues, and just hope ov happens soon. Stupid bodies.

DizzyN Hope that ov is happening! Exciting about the house - all the paperwork and waiting sucks (even though we should all be used to it after ttc!) but hopefully you won't have to wait too long for a moving date.

Thanks for the commiserations Boris. AF ended up arriving late last night, and think we can still manage to try IUI in my next cycle - hooray!

Well look at my chart today.... we dtd on Tuesday to so quite happy.
Yesterday was our wedding anniversary so i was a bit down hoping i could enjoy our night away without worry but im now 3dpo :) i dont use opks as i never know if i can see lines or not. My eyesight is terrible.

DizzyM i do have short surges, i have noticed this with opks in past thats why i no longer use them.

Magpie thank you honey! i dont know why my temps have been all over the shop. I wasnt feeling great at the start of the month which i dont know if it had an effect on them, but it was just symptoms i had. But pleased we rose again today and it has shown i ovulated. Just hope its accurate haha. If i dont fall this cycle then thats a year and i was hoping not to make it to that :(

But not going to be down, since we couldnt celebrate our wedding anniversary yesterday we are away tonight.
Joined SW to see if losing a bit of weight helps, even though i was the same weight when i fell with DD. Ill try anything

Hope everyone is ok

xx

Fantastic news about your dad rainy. What a relief for you all. Fx you have ovulated.

Ghengis hooray indeed!!! I'm so excited for you and fx it all goes well.

Dizzy hope the heartburn stays away as I know how unpleasant it is. Hope you have ovulated and managed to catch that egg.

Kellz happy anniversary enjoy your night away. Keeping everything crossed for you.

I'm on cd3 and having such an easy period which is rather strange considering I had full blown AF symptoms but actual AF has been no trouble at all. Not sure what that actually means but could be that the acupuncture is starting to do something. I have the Arvigo therapy booked for next Saturday and I'm a little nervous about it. I've checked out the lady's website and apparently she has been nicknamed 'the babymaker' by her clients and has been in newspapers. Obviously I'm not taking that title seriously at all but just interested in the massage. She also does reflexology and a few other things so will see how it goes.

thank you DizzyM

Glad your AF isnt too bad hun xx

Great news about your Dad Rainy!

hope you're all keeping well.

Thanks everyone,

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!!

Waves back to Magpie, and hope you had a lovely weekend as well Rainy. We made a half arsed attempt to drive somewhere to go for a walk, got about half way there and decided we couldn't be bothered so turned around and sat on the beach near our house eating ice cream instead.

Belated happy wedding anniversary Kellz, and great news about well timed dtd. I hope you enjoyed your night away!

The 'babymaker' sounds interesting DizzyM!! It'll be nice to try something else anyway, so hope it goes well on Saturday. Did you end up deciding which acupuncturist you were going to stick with?

CD5 here and nothing to report...zzz...
