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

Your all so good giving up caffeine...i couldnt survive without tea in the morning!
Wondering if yous can help me to understand this....i didnt expect to ovulate till middle of next week...but on Wednesday i had some ewcm and thought maybe something was going to happen early. We DTD on wednesday night but now i havent had any more ewcm at all. Usually I have it for a few days...or at least i think I do? So do we continue to DTD every second night till end of next week....(not sure we can mabage that!) or do we wait and see if i get more ewcm when im supposed too and start DTD every second day then? Im not sure if ive ovulated or not.

Its so typical that my cycle goes weird the first month we decide to start trying again.

Mama!!! Haha love the idea of you starting a separate craze where ladies desperate to get a bfp will smear themselves in overpriced honey before dtd whilst trying to cycle. Amazing!

Rossby - cutting down is better, but don't cut it out if it is something you enjoy. This link explains it well green tea has other benefits too, so of all the caffine things to have it is probably not too bad.

Just popped in from the jan bus to see how everyone is! I'm holding out as best i can and resist the poas temptation! cd 23 and finding it difficult not to think about it!

Right - finally had a visit from AF, so if this cycle is the same length, bfp is due 27th Feb! I'm right at the back of the bus

Hello can I get on the Feb bus too? Also kicked off Jan bus after rude arrival 6 days early of AF. Although I have been wondering if it was a very early MC as it was different this time.

Anyway, TTC #1, cycle 6, BFP due 10 Feb if my cycle hasn't now gone crazy. And also going to put plan Koala into action. Thanks for reminding me about the manuka honey mama31 - had forgotten that bit although oh my god it's expensive

Does anyone know if you have to limit caffeine all the time or just at particular times? I like to have a very immoderate amount of green tea.

Hahaha!!! no I actually haven't got the honey for this cycle so no risk of that just yet! Haha! Going to try the O after DH and the cycling though....trying it out on sat and DH has not been pre warned re the naked cycling...going to take him by surprise....priceless hahaha!!!!

mama I've now got a picture in my head of you slathering on manuka honey and cycling your legs in the air.

Well I'm hoping that it works for me this cycle!!! Good to try something new! :)

Mwahahaha i can just imagine hubbys face if i whipped out a jar of manuka lol.

sounds intriguing though - might have to give it a go next month!

Hey, can I join please?
TTC #2 cycle 1 AF due 2nd February.
been lurking at watching threads as haven't been doing anything to prevent pregnancy for two months but have decided defo want second so now actively trying to conceive

Genni that was meant to say spoon OF manuka honey! Not on! Hahaha!!! Oh dear I could have started a very very messy situation there for you ladies :/

Ive cut down to 2 cups of coffee a day, that's really good for me but concerned it's still bad :/ not sure I can cope without coffee just yet!

Gennibugs koala plan is advice received on jan bus (thread 2) from mrskoala who swears by the following for a bfp:

Spoon on manuka honey each day, orgasm AFTER DH always, cycle legs in the air after dtd for a few mins then lie with pillow under you with bum raised for 30 mins. Worth a try ;) can't do any harm! :)

Thanks ladies. Was getting a little concerned!

mum2kiss a moderate amount of caffeine is fine. Its more the aspartame in the diet coke I worry about and only because I drink a ridiculous amount of the stuff.

Hello is it too late to join? My last baby took about a million years to conceive so I might be here some time! Is that ok? But my af is due on my bday next week so I'm wondering whether that's a good or bad thing?

May I ask what the koala plan is? (Dont worry if not!)

:)

Mum, after my chemical I beat myself up about everything I couldve possibly done. To the point of stupidity. So if anythings limited I have none, just for sanity. Lol, sanity, I remember it well xx

Mum2kiss, maybe your body telling you it wants calcium? Xx

Oh and are we not supposed tonhave caffeine at all?! I hardly ever have coffee and I dont drink tea but since last Saturday I have been having a milky coffee each day! Weird that I suddenly get a liking for it at what seems to be the worst time!

Im due to ov on Saturday so planning to dtd as much as possible the next couple of days. Dp is moving in this weekend so we are currently packing up his flat. Hopefully he wont be too tired to perform at the end of each day!!!

Sat will be cd10 and I usually ovulate around cd13 so should be early enough to activate the koala plan!!

Hi spinning!! Welcome to feb bus! Sorry your here and hope you get your bfp this month! I'm straddling both buses as bfp due early feb but no doubt I'll have tested (a million times) end of Jan so I'm kind of being greedy taking a seat up on jan and feb bus ;) sure why not?!!!

DH is working crazy shifts until sat! Then we have a major koala plan ready to enjoy his Saturday off ;)

Hah I know. The gold stuff is nice enough. Just a shame the silver caffeiney goodness is everywhere. Its just to easy to pick up when you're flagging. Been tryingflavoured water and its just not the same. Who knows wth is in diet coke though? If thats whats holding back my bfp then I'd happily wave goodbye. Having a baby means a lot of giving up things so I suppose it's good practice! Xx

Diet coke is my biggest vice! I did manage to give it up when i was pregnant with DS but now i'm back to work I've slipped back into old habits. I think we need a diet coke addicts support thread.
