All ttc or expecting their BFPs welcome. Fingers crossed for a fantastically fertile February!

Holding my head up and getting right back in the saddle, ahem!!!!

Good so far thanks kitty. Feeling quite sicky but not actually been sick yet thank god. Also eating everything in sight - must get that under control!

How are you doing? x

SnowBells - I haven't used any apps yet

Thanks LH1981! How are things going with you?

Hi Ladies,

Just popping in to wish you luck this month xx

Do you guys use any apps to track your period/fertility window?

If so, which ones?

knotty sorry you are feeling eugh . The irregular cycles don't help either, I know how you feel there. I hope you feel better in a few days! I'm trying to look upon this as a new chance to try rather than the ending of the last cycle (AF also appeared today) but it's easier said than done.

MissMrs In many ways, I think the not trying is the way to go. It will make it less stressful which can only help. Fingers crossed for you. I'm trying to join you in that, no opks etc but focusing on just relaxing, being healthier (honey counts as healthy focus in my head and enjoying time with DH.

I've decided to give reflexology for a couple of months, even if they don't help to regulate my cycle, if they help on the relaxation front it's worth it in my book. First appointment is made for Tuesday.

knottyknitter, what rotten luck for you. I remember the crushing disappointment I felt on Thursday when I realised AF was in, well, full flow! Two days later and I now feel this bus is the one for me and I'm going to give it my (and our!) full shot. Interested in the hot water bottle idea...

Charlie It's the same make as the one you have linked, but a 15+ runny version rather than the harder stuff (sorry, no idea what the thicker honey is called). It doesn't show me it on their website either for some reason. I think the thicker stuff tastes better but the 15+ seemed to be worth a go anyway!

Woop, positive opk on cd17, much earlier than last month. So bfp hopefully 8th feb. Must make sure DP goes easy on the beers tonight!
I hope all the manuka honey, grapefruit juice, pregnacare tablets and koala-style cycling do the trick for us all and this is our month. Can't wait to hear the bfps rolling in. It makes me feel so much more positive. I'm nervous already!

Missmrs extra to throw at it from my recent successful cycle, ginger tea, hot water bottle on belly up to and passed ov, and reflexology! I did not cut out sugar or alcohol, and although I'm slim i never exercise so pretty unfit!!
Good luck!

Hi Knotty. Sorry you're feeling low I'm also on cycle 3 so we can help each other through! My periods have also been starting early. So my bfp is due 12 Feb.

Half tempted to ramp it up and try harder (see my post a few messages ago) half tempted to ignore opk and try 'not trying' for a couple of months.

My doctor and a therapist I was seeing for self-esteem etc said its best not to try x

If so it says raw?!

Room for a little reject from the January bus? I don't mind standing by the luggage rack...

TTC #1. Cycle 3. BFP due 21/2.

Period started today. A day early, so last two cycles 35 and 27 days. Used to be a clockwork-like 28 pre pill.

Feeling more than a little bit fragile tonight.

Ooh I'm thinking of going for the honey now!

So far I've tried smep, koala plan and cb digi opk.

Need something else to add to my programme.

I've heard green tea helps - anyone else heard this?

What else could I be doing?

Answers I don't really want to hear (but I know I should be doing): more exercise, no alcohol, less sugar!

mum2kiss this is a daft question, but how do you tell if it's the raw stuff? The aldi ingredients just say unpasteurised new zealand manuka honey and nothing else so I'm not sure if it is?
Thanks!

Oh, posted to soon, was going to say, good luck to us all!

Hi all, can I hop on too please? Completely new to MN.
I'm in my 2ww. TTC #3,cycle 2, bfp due 6th Feb

Aldi is the cheapest place but they dont always do the raw stuff...its still good but the raw stuff is better ;)

If anyone is looking, I have just found manuka honey (15+ whatever that means!) in Aldi for £4.99. I'm not sure if it's the right stuff but it tastes alright with lemon in hot water so I'll give it a go!

Kitty

I am on the Holland & Barrett site right now. Don't tempt me...

Hello can I hop on? I'm in my 2ww.. Broodysnoopstie ttc # 1 cycle 6 bfp due 6th feb fingers crossed for us all

Thanks ThoraNomiki for the stats update. Sorry you're being sent back to the bus station but hopefully you'll be in a better position to understand what your body is doing and will get your BFP asap.

I think I need to update my stats after ovulating late. I thought I hadn't at all but my temp seems to have gone up so the website ovufriend has me down as OV CD20 (wed).

That means my new stats are

pebble82, TTC#1, Cycle 2, BFP due 5th Feb

I either take manuka honey straight, or in hot (not boiling) water with a squeeze of lemon, or I'll add a bit to my porridge...

just remember to get the raw honey...thats the best one ;)
