For those who have jumped off the January bus. May need assistance for the wonderfully organised ladies who are so brilliant at keeping the stats up to date!

So to start the engine MrsF2510 ttc #1 cycle 2 BFP due 1st Feb x

Mine takes the more relaxed approach of just DtD when we feel like it and seeing what happens too. I don't think we've DtD enough this month but hey go I guess sometimes life gets in the way Grin

On a different note do any of you use conceive plus or anything like that? It was on offer in our local chemist today and I bought some to use next month perhaps but not sure if it's worth bothering with.

haha, I'll give it a go. Although in this cold weather my "sexy clothes" might have to consist of slippers and a wooly jumper ;)

m33r · 21/01/2014 17:42

So lovely to be missed; thanks for saying. I haven"t been on buses so don"t know how everyone is doing but I hope as well as sazz! So random that my first visit to the buses for months and I get sazz"s bfp!

Thanks for the 18 months story pebble - I really appreciate it as it really helps me to stay upbeat!

So, I"'ve already mailed reflexology and am up for the koala plan - honey and cycling - but what"s with the gents first? Is there a reason?

Great to "talk" again; maybe it's time for me to rejoice the buses??

Sazz, did you digi or cb this morning?

SnowBells · 21/01/2014 17:39

pebble82 No sex until he obliges to play by the rules. At the same time wear sexy clothes at home. He'll soon see what he misses out on. Apparently, according to some friends, that works... Grin

Howdy folks, just hopping over from the Jan bus.

Af is raking her sweet time to get here. Been spotting since 9dpo, am 13dpo now and still not here properly. Just poa frer just to check (because I've officially lost it and can't control my poas habit!) and it's the most egatice of negative tests Ive ever seen so I'm obviously just being treated to a long drawn out introduction to af this month. Thanks b6 -you're officially ditched!

Koala plan is go go go!

Oh, stats:

ImaginaryHat, ttc#1, cycle bloody 9, bfp due approx 20 Feb.

Right, not read any of the thread yet so going to read back now. Hope all you early boarders are getting plenty of dtd done! Good luck everyone.

pebble82 · 21/01/2014 17:24

ooh well jel of your pos OPK mama31 ;) I'm on CD19 now and although a slightly darker line than others last night I'm sure it was still a negative. Temp is still low this morning. Grr.

This SMEP/Koala plan thing is pretty difficult when DP doesn't know - he'd rather "be laid back" about the whole ttc thing. All very well mister if you have NO IDEA about the fact you can't just dtd at anytime during the month and hope for the best. Tried to entice him into some action last night but he was having none of it - too tired apparently (we have dtd CD 11, 14, 16,17 ) Argh MEN! Just waiting for him to get home from work to try my seduction techniques out. After today I reckon one more go at CD21 (Thursday) and I give up for this month!

Fingers crossed for everyone. Only a few weeks until the bus departs :)

mama31 · 21/01/2014 15:56

Koala plan is spoon of manuka honey every day, orgasm after DH not before, cycle legs in the air after dtd for a few mins then lie with pillow under bottom for 30 mins! Lol yes I am actually doing this!!!

Cd13 here, pos opk still today so will carry on dtd all week if I can manage it! Kind of lightly crampy today so suspect ODAY is today! DH is delighted at the weeks plan of dtd ahead.....im tired already :/ but will carry on!!!! needs must!!! In the name of the old timers.....we must never give up!!!!! ;)

MrsExtraOrdinary · 21/01/2014 14:31

i got confused by the koala plan?! I'm not sure if that involves cycling?! Blush

MrsExtraOrdinary · 21/01/2014 14:28

I think that's auntie flo! Grin Aka your period, who we all hope not to have very soon Wink

Chippingnortonset123 · 21/01/2014 14:26

Thanks! Now just tell me what Af means and I will go on my merry way, wishing all of you the best of luck and fortune.

mama31 · 21/01/2014 13:13

Spinning I'm so booking a reflexology appointment for next ovulation if I don't get my bfp this month!!!

toots123 · 21/01/2014 13:07

Dtd= do the deed

spinningirl10 · 21/01/2014 12:51

Bfp= big fat positive!! That's when you poas= pee on a stick (pregnant test) and get a positive!!

Ooh Sazzle I wonder if it was the reflexology that worked for you....after 14 months of trying you have to wonder!Grin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 21/01/2014 11:29

Chipping, im still trying to get my head around all the abbreviations too. Does anyone fancy a run down on them all for us newbies?

MrsExtraOrdinary · 21/01/2014 11:26

Forgot to say cycle2, bfp due 18/2 but strangely every other month is later so anything up to 33 days is usual this month.

Chippingnortonset123 · 21/01/2014 10:39

I have long wondered what bfp means.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 21/01/2014 10:34

Hello, my af rudely turned up a day early so can I join you lot? The January bus was really quite exciting with bfps!

It was kindly pointed out to me though I can now enjoy my bday tomorrow with wine, so that's my silver lining! Smile

sazzlehopes · 21/01/2014 10:16

m33r - thank you kind lady. i have missed you on the buses. i have everything crossed for you that you will get your deserved bfp soon. glad you have a fertility appt soon, hopefully they can answer questions for you.
i would recommend reflexology - it is not normally my bag, but there was something trusting and lovely about the lady that did it, that i felt it was a good thing to be trying for a bit.
love and luck to you xx

mama31 · 21/01/2014 09:18

And it will x

mama31 · 21/01/2014 09:17

M33R I'm good thanks! :) lovely to see you on here, your name always comes up with ladies asking about you!! You have definately left a gap on the bus.....there's always a seat next to me if you want it ;) well when I say always....lets hope I'm not here always!!!! haha!!!!

I know what you mean though re obsessing....i have tried not to....it doesn't really happen....or help! so I'm just sticking around here getting new tips for each cycle! I hope you have read up on the latest Koala Plan that I'm trying this time! Haha!!!

Never lose hope or faith M33R! I don't believe that you do....perhaps temporarily....but I believe you are like sazzle and you continue to believe that it will happen soon! x

mum2kiss · 21/01/2014 08:32

Congratulations sazzle!!

pebble82 · 20/01/2014 22:06

My friend tried for 18 months before BFP (naturally). There is always hope. Xx

m33r · 20/01/2014 22:02

Sorry should say 13 months obvs!

m33r · 20/01/2014 21:55

Hiya mama. I'm good. Hanging in there. Not quite rejoining. Trying to keep the obsessing to a minimum with limited success!! High hopes for this month and fertility appt due any day.

How're you? I miss you!

I have tears if joy for sazz; it just makes me believe! -3 months doesn't mean it won't happen. Hurrah sazz!!!!!!!

gennibugs · 20/01/2014 20:06

Omg sazzle - looks like a line to me!!

Congratulations Grin
