Is there a January bus yet?!!

Hello Ladies! Thought I'd check in after a few days away on holiday over the New Year. Have enjoyed catching up with all your progress-congrats on the BFPs and a little sad to hear the arrival of some AFs.

As I am doing the SMEP plan currently, I feel a bit more in control than I did last month. As soon as CD8 appeared, started SWI although had to try a couple of times as DH got stage fright (it must all be affecting him too) and have now started also using OPKs daily since CD10. No second line yet but as I am on CD12 and thinking it might not be too long to wait. I did succumb and have a drink on NYE though, well more than one, but still less than I normally have done in previous years! Am loving the list of stats Kt1991 as it is nice to see I have a few BFP day buddies for the 24th Jan.

Yep lucy, still in limbo land along with Ginger. CD55 today. No sign of AF, but I've had loads (sorry tmi alert) of cm for the past few weeks and it seems to be drying up now so maybe something is about to change. Fed up with waiting!

Munday your hair looks amazeballs! Really suits you - and well done for being so brave, I would never dare!

Sorry to AF-ers, hope Feb is your month! xxx

Morning everyone,

Sorry for those who got got by AF.

jilljill - sorry you got a BFN this AM. Hope you get a BFP soon, but if AF does show her face, then defo give OPKs a go next cycle.

Good luck to everyone else...hope we get some more BFPs soon as they're such a lovely start to the NYE.

I did a test this morning and it was negative :( af is still missing though.

I'm out for this month af arrived this morning, just as I was reaching for the pee cup! Anyway I have 31 day cycle so ill be off to the Feb bus, probably still be lurking on here and wishing you all luck for your bfps though!! Blimey that's cycle 5 for me now, never thought it would take this long!

I had a positive on day 28 but then day 29 it was negative. Will look into b6, thanks.

Came off microgynon on 14th June and cycles have been between 28 days and 41days. I naively thought your body came back to normal after stopping the pill, how wrong was I

I am trying to relax this month but It's really hard when it's the only thing you can think about.

Awwwww w&c

Wineandchoccy cross post. Did you monitor ov on your long cycle months? What days did you ov? Have you thought about taking b6? It helped me with my short LP, but it can also make ov earlier so I would assume a shorter month.

Just read that link choccy and it made me cry

Bella, so sorry af is potentially here, a 27 day cycle is about normal. Did you test for ov so you know exactly when you ov'd?

Cd9 today last couple of cycles have been 41 days but have had 2 at 29 days so not really sure when AF/BFP is due.

Started dtd yesterday after a long and horrible AF going for the eod method, I haven't bought any opks this month because I got a bit disheartened when it said negative yet DH wanted to dtd so trying to relax and forget where I am in my cycle and have fun instead of concentrating on whether it's the right time or not.

AF this morning (I think, its red & only when I wiped) so, keep my stats the same, practice over!! So....if I got AF on cd27, 12dpo does that mean my of estimation was out of sync or short lf??

Will monitor cm more this time x

Morning ladies.

Started using my opks yesterday and have got a flashing smiley face this morning. Let the dtdathon commence. Think the flashing smiley means high fertility not peak fertility so don't think ov will happen until Monday or Tuesday when I'll be working 12.5 hour shifts. Hope I'll be able to summon the energy!!

Thanks for that link Choccy, what a sweet and oh so relevant story. Hoping we all get our chocolate cake soon

Oh dear - 12 dpo and poas today with bfn. Looks bad for this month! Sad

Mrs Koala you made me laugh! Have an image of me trying to explain why I fell off the bed doing the bicycle to a&e staff! Still if it helps!

I'm on day 31 no sign of the witch but dare I say a bit crampy, going to test after the weekend if still going.

Loving the hair munday Still in limbo land here.

It's my first 2ww and am manically symptom spotting. I was a bit obsessed with the one step ovulation strips and think we DTD at the right time. Since I think (fingers crossed) we ovulated, I've had really bad constant cramp, felt really hungry and also had a strange metallic taste in my mouth. Probably wishful thinking but what else should I be looking out for as signs?

Roll on 15th January.

Hi All. Having a nightmare of a few days so can't log in and spend much time on MN. Also no time or inclination to shag - DH and are are bickering about money :(

Anyway, just thought i'd pop on to let you know on what i think worked for us last time. We were trying for 8 months then one month we did these things and bingo! 1. conceive plus lube. 2. Manuka honey (2-3tsps each a day - not heated tho). 3. making sure i orgasmed after DH. 4. upside down bicycle legs for a few mins after, then laying with a pillow under my arse for at least 30 mins. No idea if any one of these things worked but we got preggers the first months we did them all.

Good luck. :)

Thanks for sharing that choccy, I'm sure lots can relate to this and I hope we all get our chocolate cake soon..

Lovecuppy I started taking the cough medicine about 2 days after my period. In definitely increased the cm but I still haven't has ewcm - there was one day where there was something like it but it was the morning after dh and I had dtd so I'm not sure if it was his!

I'm now entering 2ww, dh and I have dtd cd 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18 so far - fx ....

well worth a read

Hey ladies. Remember reading something about venos cough medicine increasing the amount of ewcm you produce. Does anyone know when you start taking it? don't produce much ewcm (sorry if tmi!) and hoping this might help :-)

Add me please :)

BexWex TTC #1 C1

Supposed to be ovulating about now, no rise in my BBT just yet but had a dip, maybe the dip before the rise? so fingers crossed!

AF due 19th

Hmm, feeling bit nauseous and lightheaded on and off last few days. Getting tempted..

Ooh! Actually, just realised that with my short cycles, i get another go at January....

Could someone please amend my details?
