Is there a January bus yet?!!

Me and DH have decided to be relaxed about the whole thing. We were in October and that led to my BFP. It's difficult to be regimented about it as he works shifts. So we're just going to see how it goes this month.

Have been off pill for more than two years. No other hormonal contraception. 34 to 36 days have been normal since my teenage days unless on pill of course. I am 31 but never worked out ovulation until last month when actively starting ttc #1. the superdrug ones gave me a positive on day 23 which is normal for 36 days I think. Af arrived promptly on day 37. Hope there's nothing wrong...

upnorth are you recently off the pill or anything like that? How long have your cycles been 34-36 days?

When do you normally OV in your cycle?

Or temping...

Right, I thought I was definitely on the Jan bus with my very long cycles of 34 to 36 days and Ov not due until 28 Dec... Then, this morning my cbfm gave me 3 bars with 2 high days yesterday and the day before. I am on CD 12 today... I did another superdrug ov test later in the day and this was positive too, meaning I should be ov over the next 36 hrs or so. I am confused. If anyone has any advice, pls let me know! can I trust those results? Unfortunately, I'm not tempting... Dh loved the early morning attention though...

Whilst I'm thinking about these things, what is everyone doing in Jan re temping/OPK etc? What you normally do/more relaxed etc?

I was an absolute nightmare for my last cycle as I have been trying to get the cbfm used to what my cycle is, but it is completely messed up after a very delayed AF due to bfp a few weeks ago which didn't stick sadly. So I think I'm abandoning that. But it just drove me mad last month as although it gave me an idea what was happening, it wasn't overly certain. So I'm debating whether to go back to temping for Jan or just ignore it all and relax a bit more about the whole thing. Easier said that done though!

Hi again, good to see the bus filling up!

AF seems to have started properly for me today, so I am presuming (hoping really!) that I now have a better idea when bfp may be due. So updated stats for me:

Barmybunting ttc#1 cycle 3 bfp due around 22nd Jan.

Jumping on please...TTC#1, cycle 1 (I wrote of last month as a "finding out about my body" month). BFP due NYE or Jan 1st...so I'm straddling between Dec and Jan bus really.

Have a Bruges Zot for me, DoctorDonna!

I don't think I shall stay teetotal over Christmas, glass of Prosecco Christmas day kind of thing, but I won't get drunk. DH certainly can't otherwise, no DTD

I'm in Belgium over Christmas - we'll be drinking plenty of beer

Loving the pitch a tent idea Hopemummi although DH might take some persuading if it involves early nights over Christmas, his middle name should be Santa-he loves this time of year.

For those of you that are ttc and need to dtd over Christmas, will you be drinking?

Loving all the new people on the bus and hopemummi's pitch a tent club!!

I know that my family will be saying over Xmas 'you're not going to bed this early, it's the holidays' and I will have to refrain from saying 'well actually, your only child, my husband is actually attempting to impregnate me to give you your first grandchild so let us go!!!' It's going to be an interesting one.

Hi all, just got booted off December bus. I'm TTC #1, cycle 2, BFP due January 13th.

At least I can drink on Christmas day!

Bump n grind you'll have to join our 'pitch a tent' club and bdance outside!!

Hi all, can I jump on this bus please? AF kicked me off the lovely December bus :( going to enjoy some festive drinks to make myself feel better!
Ttc#1 will be starting offical cycle #2 (November I'm not counting as cycle 1 as we only dtd 2 or 3 times unprotected as we got carried away) after AFs visit this month.

Hi, can I join please ttc #1, cycle #1 bfp due 8th January. This means my best days for dtd are Xmas eve, Xmas day and Boxing Day!! How is that goin to work with family staying over? Xx

Hi ladies can I join ?

Ttc number 2 (had a miscarriage two years ago) this will be 3rd cycle. Have pcos so no idea when ovulating!

I'm fine. Day off work today as yesterday was more exhausting than I anticipated - we had some bad news about a student as well.

Sorry to hear that DoctorDonna hope you're ok.

Well done for jumping straight back on, good luck x

Hey everyone, some of you may remember me from previous busses (englishteacher was my name then). I had a MMC diagnosed last Thursday and the op on Friday and me and DH are planning on trying again straight away. I suppose that makes me a lurker this time. No idea, therefore, when AF is due but going to test on 20th January if it hasn't shown up by then. So this info is all very approximate.
TTC 1 - cycle 1 post MC - AF due 20th Jan.

I'm jumping in from the December bus. BFP due 17th Jan.

we missed every opportunity to dtd this past weekend and now dp is away until Saturday...my phone app says ovulation is Saturday so fingers crossed!!!

Can I join too please? Ttc #2. Cycle 6, bfp due 9th jan

Hello everybody! It's been ages since I have been on a bus - can I join? It's 1st month, no 1 and guessing BFP as 1st Jan - hard to know how regular I should be after 11 years on the pill!!

Can I join please ladies, feel really nervous typing this as makes it real that we are going to start trying for #2!!

so TTC #2 Cycle #1 BFP due 12th Jan

feels like there is something special about ttc over Christmas! good luck everyone.
