Is there a January bus yet?!!

Thanks GlitterLily11, going to have to start monitoring CM closely as I don't get many other symptoms mentioned - even my pre-menstrual symptoms are very low key. Thanks!

And yes DoctorDonnaNoble!

Haha doctor it's typical isn't it?!

Zara, if you're late and your cycles are regular I'd test now!

Hello everyone! Just checking in, AF was due 1 Jan but no sign of her yet, POAS on the 1st and a few days before but all BFN.

Been away for a few days and home today, not sure if I should POAS tomorrow??? Today would be CD 33.

When AF arrives I have a bunch of opks and cheapie tests, more CBFM sticks and conception friendly lube ready to order!!!

TTC #1, Cycle 1, 2 days overdue and waiting...

I just wonder what the pill really does to our bodies never taking that ever again because I don't believe that using that for 11 years done any good

Tested 5 d early on fr , bfn
Convinced I'm too old now . Used to always get preg if on the right dates but that was about 4 y ago last ...

Anyone else really annoyed that they spent so many years trying to NOT get pregnant!

Hi, well ive briefly posted a couple of notes on her, but will explain my story, ive currently got a 5 month old DD, after what seemed to be a horrible year, after coming off my pill in may 2012 I fell pg first month resulting in a mmc, then got pg again straight away resulting in a ruptured ectopic and removal of one of my tubes, had to wait 3 months till I was able to try again and was very lucky to fall pg as soon as we tried.
Decided that we would try again once dd was 6 months,, but last month kinda forgot to use protection once so thats why I joined this thread, but unfortunately even though 2 days late the bitch arrived this morning not that I had much hope but you never know.
Iam going to hang on this bus a little longer as
its looks like I will be testing again 27th Jan, so heres hoping I find the time to dtd haha, good look everyone x

PetiteChouette - you are right, very difficult to predict but I thought I'd settled down over the last couple of months - one cycle at 32 and the next at 28. My last cycle started on 2 Dec and we dtd on 15th. I just have no symptoms of anything right now since my 'phantom' period symptoms!

Hello and welcome aboard to all the newbies!

Yawn, cycle day 54 and still nothing.
Caved and did my last FR last night instead of this morning. BFN. This is so annoying it's laughable.

New development though, my nipples are really sore. Not my boobs, or surrounding nipple but just the nipple nipple

Got cramps still and lots of cm which I've had for weeks (sorry tmi). What does it mean? What does it mean??!!

MHJC, I never use opk's I just know when im ovulating by my CM. It is always thick and stretchy when ive o'd so thats how I know. It wprked for me last pregnancy and hoping it works for me again this time lol x

Hi all

First time posting on MumsNet :)

Me and my OH are only on our second month of TTC, I think I am a few days overdue at the moment, but test is negative, and my cycle is quite long and irregular.

I think it's going to take a few months to work out when I'm ovulating, as I vary a lot between a 30-38 day cycle. Reading all sorts now about ovulation signs - any tips welcome!

Good to be joining you all!

Hello to all the newbies :)

Well I still dont think I'm going to get a bfp this month (ever the optimist!) but I ordered some ic hpts this morning so I will have some.on hand for next cycle! They are due to be delivered next Wednesday so if af hasnt reared her head by then I'll test!

I poa ic again, bfn. Think I'm out this month. Today is cd27, 12dpo. Apart from the early promising stuff, I've nothing ATM, not even AF symptoms. Praying I get it soon, I'd hate to be waiting like you ginger, really hope its a little bean for you. I go on short holiday next Thursday.

Any1 else on here been on microgynon? I need a slap, this is my 'free month trial' before properly trying next month!!

Jilljill - do you know when you ov'ed? This would help you know if your AF is overdue. (I'm assuming that coming off the pill means your cycle lengths are difficult to predict - sorry if this is wrong). My luteal phase is always 15/16 days long. From literature I think everyone's luteal phase is pretty much set, give or take a day either way. It's the time from AF to OV that can fluctuate. I totally understand that the BFNs are horrible and draining. But testing is the only way you'll know one way or the other. I'd recommend OPKs for next cycle if you aren't using them (hope you don't need them tho ).

Hey girls, newbie here too.

TTC #2, first month trying. Im 7dpo hoping to get a bfp around 11th january. Ive never symptom spotted in previous cycles so dont know if its normal or not. Had constant cramps since ovulation. A small amount of sticky CM but apart from that not really had much CM. Had back ache which radiated down the back of my leg, and almost passed out the other night, went hot and dizzy and felt sick (although this could be because of the cold ive been fighting).

We fell pregnant first time round on our first month ttc, so hoping it happens again. Anyone around the same dpo as me id be interested to hear your symptoms xx

Hello

TTC #1 Cycle #1, BFP due on 22 January based on a 28 day cylce, however I have never taken that much notice to count the days before so could be a few days either way.

I'm scared stupid about everything and crossing everything that it happens quickly.

I haven't tested this month, when I came off the pill the doc suggested I tested weekly just in case, so between May-Oct I've had so many negatives and got a bit disheartened

I want to test and for the last couple of evenings I've said to myself that I'll do it in the morning but haven't.

I'm a bit scared if its negative theres something wrong, like what is another reason my period is late or missed?

JillJill - when did you last test? I would think at 3-5 days late, you should get a positive result if you are PG. Tbh, if I were you, I wouldn't be able to wait any longer and would be POAS just to know either way. Good luck

Hi all! I'm quite new here but ttc since may!

Well judging from my last two cycles I'm between 3-5 days late. I had period symptoms but no period, mild cramping and a pulling sensation across my tummy sometimes. I don't want yet another negative so trying to hold out for another few days as I have no pregnancy symptoms whatsoever.

Morning everyone!

Anyone POAS today?

I'm 10DPO...but don't feel like it's happened for me this month. A bit sad...as me and DP are traveling separately all through the time I'm likely to OV next, so next month is a forgone conclusion. No Feb bus ticket for me.

On the flip side, not having to hide I'm PG whilst away with work in a few weeks would be handy. Plus I can enjoy a few cheeky cocktails. Silver linings and all that.

BFN this morning . No AF or cramping yet though so I'm allowing myself a tiny bit of hope.

Oh Ginger, hope you're feeling better this morning, limbo land is a horrible place, hope you get an answer soon, one way or another!

Aw ginger, hang in there! Xx

Fell asleep early and woke up in a foul mood poor dp apparently he made my dinner which he ate and tried waking me up. I didn't hear ds either :( I only do that when I'm pregnant. This whole limbo land is really messing with me now, even as I write this feel like I'm about to cry.
