Is there a January bus yet?!!

It's not crazy Laceylee - 8dpo is very early for AF so could it be implantation? Has it been a normal AF or less? X

Hi to all newbies! I only managed to DTD twice in my fertile window (cd 8 and cd12) as DH was shattered so I am a bit disappointed. Though it's not likely that it would happen first time, particularly as I didn't maximise the chances, I still can't help spotting that I have felt a bit dizzy a couple of times and feel sleepy - but could be all the central heating and lots of food! I am so glad I am not temping as would quickly become obsessed! Really would love to POAS but don't want to do it too early so it comes up bfn or worse a BFP that doesn't stick so want to wait to see if AF is late! Due around next Wed. Haven't told anybody that we are trying so am pleased all of you ladies are in the same boat x

Hi everyone, hope you all had very merry Christmases. We had a great time but today I was out shopping with dh and started bleeding randomly....I'm only 8dpo so this is ridiculously early for af to be arriving.... My body does seem to be very messed up from the mmc tho, so it's probably that...I did then just start thinking implantation bleeding but that clearly shows I am turing in to a crazy lady!!

kittyrose yes, if only it was that easy . I think my body is just going a bit mad after the pill and things so ff doesn't know what to make of it as I've oved between cd14 & cd43 in the last 5 months! I've just decided to abandon everything this cycle so not to stress so much. That's the theory anyway! Trying to DTD every 2-3 days and hope for the best. We are moving across the country, both starting new jobs etc in about 2 weeks so either that will take our mind off things and make it happen or just send everything more awol so leaving it be and seeing what happens seems like the most sanity inducing plan just now.

Good luck with your temping & opks, fingers crossed they do the trick for you!

Barmy, yes he is determined This month I think he has realised it doesn't just happen like they drum into you at school by just dtd once! (Although I do know some
Ladies this has happened too!) wow that is a long fertile window ! Makes it hard doesn't it to know when to start OPKs or bd other than just do it every day!

Sleepingstars, I've been taking 10ml x 3 daily as it's
What they say for a cough! Kinda making it up as I go along lol but does seem to be working! I'm taking evening primrose oil too .

Hello to the newcomers today, This is a packed bus now! Sorry to see a couple of you over here from the December bus, let's keep positive for new year pregnancies :)

My ic OPKs arrived today as a thermometer ! Did one and it was negative. Have downloaded ff app and plan to start tracking temps etc

Last proper period 19th November.

Spotting 8-12th December but negative tests.
So if I take the spotting as my last period AF is due 7th January.

Sorry Bump....I thought you'd asked about opk's but see it was pt!! Just come home from another Festive family gathering and probably had too much wine!

Welcome Aisha....this is a great place to be, very friendly and we're all quite mad!!

Bump.....I use opk from cd 6 but that's because I only used them properly last month and realised I ov'd earlier than I thought! I have a stash of ic from Amazon!

Sazzle.....I use ff, it's ok. I don't temp but its handy to record other data

Hi girls, can I join the bus please? Stats are ttc #1, cycle 4, BFP due 24 Jan. This is my first month of feeling a bit sad/desperate about this ttc business...I just thought I'd be one of the lucky under 3 month people and now have the feeling if I'm not in that camp then I'll probably never get pregnant. I'm joining the bus to snap myself out of this ridiculous thinking and be positive instead with all of you guys because some of us will definitely be pregnant this time next month and be rocking our little babies on their first Christmas this time next year

It's nice to see some familiar names on here.

Kitty thanks for the welcome. Been and bought my cough medicine this morning. DH said but you dont have a cough so had to explain why I wanted it in the middle of the shop which caused the old dear by us to raise her eyebrows He just gave me a strange look, shook his head and threw it in the basket. Can I ask how much you take? Is it just like you would for a cough??

BumpNGrind I tend to start POAS everyday sometimes twice a day from around 9 dpo. I use ICs initially but will bring out the digis if and when I get line.

Oh wow this bus is really filling up. This year singing auld Lang syne will be the start of a fabulous month for us all hopefully.

Can I ask at what dpo do you begin testing? I've seen on previous threads that people test around 10dpo. Would that be the best day do you think?

Hello all!
I haven't been here for a couple of months as we took a break. But we're hoping a new year means BFP!
Sorry to see a few familiar names here (if you know what I mean!!) and it wish good luck to everyone!

I'm not sure what a break means in terms of my stats - do I go back to cycle1 or do I remain on cycle8 (I think?) c1 sounds better psychologically!

So, Owlie84, ttc#1, cycle 1 or 8, BFP 26th Jan

This ttc process is a whirlwind of emotions!

We have some close friends coming to stay this weekend. They are/were intending to start ttc around now. She has just text me to say they have some news but will tell us tomorrow. Something tells me it will be that she is pregnant. If it is that, it's amazing news. But also makes me feel all over the place! DH just smiled happily when I told him. In my next life I want to be a man so I can avoid these ups and downs of ttc . What a process it is!

Hello ladies, can I join. Currently TTC #1, cycle 3 BFP/AF due around 25th Jan. I'm also giving the venos a try this month - when should I start taking it?

Thanks

sazzle and spinning, sorry to see you kicked off the Dec bus.

sazzle, I use ff but don't temp anymore. You can set it to be based on opks/cbfm and other signs if you don't temp. I find it ok without temping, but it's not brilliant. I don't know if there is anything else out there which works better if you aren't temping though.

Hi all, Just been kicked off the December bus cycle was 41 days this time. Had cycles of 41 days, 41days, 29 days, 36 days and 41 days since I have been keeping note.

I really thought it would be our month but it's bloody not

At least I can get drunk at a party tonight and New Year's Eve!

Wineandchoccy, ttc #1, cycle 6, bfp due ?

Oops should have added bfp due Jan 18th

Hi Ladies

Can I hop on on board please....af kicked me off the Dec bus.

Nice to see a few familiar faces here....let's hope 2014 is our year!!

Stats....spinningirl10, ttc #2, cycle 2 post mc

Sleeping sorry to see you over here and sorry about your previous history. Fx you get some luck this month.
Kitty - thanks for the welcome!

Anyone using FF app. I'm new to it, normally use my cbfm which I like but wanted extra help as I am into cycle 14 now.... Is FF any good if I'm not temp charting? I have a ds that sometimes gets me up in the night so not sure if I was temping whether it would be accurate enough? Does it have to be the same time every morning? Thanks ladies, and although I'm disappointed to be on another bus, it makes ttc better having all your support and kind words!

Sorry to see you here sleepingstars. I hope this is the right month for you!

Kittyrose I'm also on cd 11 today and FF is showing me a supposed fertile window of cd12 to cd31! So we have just scrapped opks & cbfm for this month and just seeing how we get on. My cycle is all over the place post pill and what I think was a chem preg last month so I guess it could be any time.

Your DH sounds like he is determined, good for him . Fingers crossed!

Welcome sleepingstars, sorry to hear of yor difficulties so far. Hears hoping and praying that 2014 is for you!

Morning ladies, not checked in for a few days what with all the festivities! Hope you all had a wonderful baby along Christmas ;)

Hi to all the new bus recruits, sorry to see you over her sazzle let's keep fx for 2014 babies x

I've been taking Robitussin which has the active ingredient guaifenesin for mucus thinning. Not had any ewcm yet but have noticed an increase in watery like cm. Been busy dtd with dh, he's really 'on board' this month instigating it more than me! AF finished cd5 and we have dtd cd6, 8,9,10 today is cd11. Due to Christmas post not got my ic OPKs arrived yet so not been able to do those. So just going at it and hope we are getting it right! According to be fertility apps and cycle lengths I ov anywhere from cd11 to cd18! So that's a long potential fertile window!
Anyone else the same?

Morning ladies. Just been booted of the December bus by the witch so mind if I hop on here??

Sleepingstarsmommy TTC #1 cycle 2 BFP due 24th Jan.

Were are TTC #1 despite 4 previous pregnancies (3 early miscarriages and our son was born sleeping in sept) and have previously always caught on our first cycle so Im a bit to be on cycle two.

Will therefore be employing every tactic going this month - off to boots to buy cbfm, preseed, venos, basal thermometer. Will also be ordering IC opks just because I love to POAS and eating pineapple core later in the month.

Morning everyone, I've done a cheeky name change from LittleOwlie.

Ruby - thanks for the CBFM advice. I thought the first few cycles the monitor needed to get used to things. Maybe I should be pleased I got my two little egg signs when I expected them in this case! We didn't actually pay too much attention to the monitor about dtd. But I was a happy girl when I got the egg sign as successfully managed to dtd the night before. Then dtd for the two egg days too.

Need to do a catch up with all the posts. But I'm excited for our January bus. Good luck everyone.

Thanks bump, yes I'd be using the venos to just increase cm as I could do with the help. I did try grapefruit juice and didn't mind it but I didn't feel it increased it much - but I may have started too late...
