Is there a January bus yet?!!

It doesn't make you a bad person at all kitty. Think at times we've all felt like that. But we will get there at some point, we just have to try to stay positive (easier said than done sometimes).

Hi all
Room for another? The witch got me yesterday. Had been feeling positive but apparently not this month. bit teary last few days but keep saying every month we wait we are a bit stronger after losing our angel in July.... It will happen......

Completely know what you mean kittyrose I have serious bump envy! Can't say it in RL but can on here hoorah!

choccy sorry you are having such a rough time Fx for us all this month!

My stats Rubyshoe TTC 2 Cycle 4 BFP due Jan 16th

Morning all, having one hell of a visit from AF. talk about rub it in ny face not pg AF!
I've started taking evening primrose oil again as heard this is good for cm production.
I agree it feels like everyone has a bump or a baby at the moment, Facebook is filled with everyone's cute baby pics and I can't help but get jealous. Maybe that makes me a bad person I don't know.
Only 5 days til Christmas ladies :)

choccy I'm glad you managed to get in to see the Dr. that sounds a bit odd to me re the testing as I'm certain I've seen people on here be tested and given things if it was an issue, but it was maybe relating to progesterone to start ovulation rather than linked to lp. This is such a guessing game! I almost wish that you could have tests run before starting to ttc to check everything is good to go. It prob sounds stupid as it's maybe needlessly invasive but personally I would have loved a simple check that gave you a basic reassurance that there was nothing obvious that might cause issues!

Do you need to go back to Dr after your last appointment re chemical?

If this month is a failure then I'll be ttc in jan too. By then I'll be ttc1 cycle #2!

Hi everyone, can I join? TTC number 1, cycle 2. Was disappointed but not surprised to miss the target in the first month and having lots of premature thoughts and worries about infertility. I have always worried about it to be honest, not sure why as I am not generally a worrier but it has played on my mind over the years. Did far too much symptom spotting and convinced myself I was pg last month so I need keeping in check. Currently learning my cycle and looks like its 32-33 days so bfp due 18th Jan. I WILL NOT TEST EARLY!!!

Sorry to hear of mcs and other issues. Here's to plenty of BFPs in Jan

Looking forward to getting back to dts in a couple of days! Except DH has now acquired a cold!

choccy I'd maybe ask for a second opinion.. there are various tests (according) to google that can be done to determine if theres a prob with lp.

Still think I'm pregnant anyway........

Barmy I spoke to the dr on Tuesday when I went in for my suspected chemical about the b6, she didn't say anything just there wasn't any testing for progesterone, which I find hard to believe.

Punky I love the timetable . DTD has to be sneaked in at these times!

Imaginary I know what you mean about it seeming like everyone else falls pregnant at the drop of a hat. I think it probably seems that way when you look and there is either babies or bumps everywhere but I am trying to remember as you say that it does take most people a bit of time and it's just part of the process. It will happen in good time. It's a crappy feeling though! I'm ok thanks, feeling better than I thought I would be, it's not nice any time but I think probably Christmas is at least busy enough to take your mind off these things a bit more than usual. I have a lot of hopes pinned for a New Year's BFP though .

Choccy, interesting that you found B6 helpful. Have you spoken to a Dr about your LP? I started to take B6/B Complex last cycle prior to bfp as my lp seems to only be about 9 days. I'm not sure whether it's worth continuing or not as I think I probably need to give my cycles a bit more time to settle down. I hope it works for you for a sticky bfp in Jan!

ahh monster its so easy to convince yourself that you are pg isn't it, but then the disappointment is even worse. Everyone keeps telling me to relax and it'll happen, but its so hard to relax when its something you want so much.
We'll have guest over new year when my next fertile period is expected so lots of quiet dtd and hoping we wont get caught! I'm not bypassing it so we'll have to just get on with it

Eek got a positive opk today (cd17). Not a great deal of CM but some. Usually there's a lot more. Got our neighbourhood coming round for a catch up, she's going to come and see DD before she goes to bed. Then the neighbour needs to go home to do something so we've said come back at 8 for wine and food. Going to have an hour window to get Dd to bed and asleep and DTD quick time! And then get the food on. Haha!! DP is aware of the plan and is up for it!!!

Lacey and Monster DH says it's apparently much quieter if you do it on the floor! He just fancies a change of scenery I think

Haha blithereens we are in the same boat with both in-laws, but it's my fertile period so we will just have to DTD as quietly as possible!! Hope we don't get too put off!

I agree about the cold dtd-ing, I was thinking the other day it would be so much easier to entice DP if he could 'accidently' catch me walking round naked but in this weather he would definitely smell a rat!!

Blithereens, sounds like you'll be needing to join the 'tent in the back garden' club.

I'm thinking of everyone here who has had bad news or is feeling generally blue about this TTC business Here's hoping some festive cheer and a brand new year will bring happier news to everyone

My cycles were messed up by the coil, so after having it removed I'm hoping they will become a bit more regular so it's easier to predict ovulation. Got two lines on an OPK this morning, but the test line was faint. We're starting seven solid days of DPs and PILs on Saturday and I have a horrible feeling we ought to be dtd at the same time Deeply unlikely!

Thanks for updating the stats Kt. My bfp is due on or about January 15.

Sorry to hear about the chemical pregnancies and MC. Hope you all have sticky BFPs this month.

Today I'm feeling quite sad about not being pg. I had myself convinced a BFP was heading my way last month. This afternoon I'm making mulled wine sorbet for Christmas lunch, so hopefully some happy music and festive aromas will cheer me up. English, it does feel like everyone in the world is falling pregnant at the drop of a hat.

Can I hop on board?
TTC#2 since October. Just had BFN this morning :-( it's my 3rd test this week so pretty sure it's a definite BFN.
Have PCOS and just finished BFing DD in October so cycles all over the place. No AF since stopping BFing. But positive ovulation tests at beginning of this month so that's something I guess.
Will be ringing in the new year by doing it like rabbits first week in jan with the hope of a BFP 3rd-4th week jan.
Good luck ladies and merry Christmas to all xxx

Morning everyone.

Sorry to hear some bad news here, it must be hard to have your hopes raised then dashed like that.

I woke up feeling really negative about TTC this month. AF is just coming to an end, so I'm about to enter the wonderful 2 weeks of hopeful BDing, but I just feel like I'm losing hope.

Fingers crossed for everyone else though!

Thanks imaginary and Choccy. I might try the b6.
Choccy &barmy, I'm sorry you're both goin through a crap time TTC. I can't imagine how hard it must be seeing that BFP and then it not sticking. Wishing you both more luck in the new year.

Thanks Lacey and Barmy hope it's your month too. New year new baby.......

Thanks imaginary. So sorry you are going through this too, yes it is totally and utterly crap.
The worst thing is I still FEEL pregnant. I have every symptom you could think of and this morning I've got diarrhoea too (sorry tmi) so I'm totally confused :(

English, my LPs were short for my first 2 cycles, (7/8 days started spotting). I started taking vitamin b6 50mg up to ov then 100mg from ov to bfp/af and I've caught the last 2 months I've used it. Maybe worth a try?
