It's hard to admit that we really have little control over our bodies as opposed to other areas of our lives. I must admit that if AF arrives, I will feel better knowing I did everything I could and will feel it was a waste if I missed just one DTD session or tested OPK at the right time etc. In reality though, we really shouldn't beat ourselves up over it but easier said than done, huh?! Maybe this is Fate's way of saying enjoy the Koala Plan next month Grin

Imaginary I was 18 mts ttc last time after mc, prior to that I'd always fallen at drop of a hat, so I may be around sometime. Im so sorry I know some months were worse than others for me last time too.

ImaginaryHat · 18/01/2014 10:55

Thanks kitty Smile. However, this is pretty standard for me. Thought after the 2 chemicals Ive just had it might have at least shaken my cycle up a bit but looks like its reverting back to exactly what was happening before -lateish ovulation and early spotting. I suppose theres still a slim chance but going off my track record I think I pretty much know how its gonna go. Sorry to sound so negative. I think I'd been pinning my hopes on this cycle more than I realised and now feeling at a loss as how to 'fix' it.

KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 10:46

9dpo is still pretty early and lots of women have spotting throughout pregnancy so don't give up hope yet!

ImaginaryHat · 18/01/2014 10:40

Happy birthday owlie!

Just tested fmu with an ic and bfn, and then spotting when I wiped so looks like I'm on my way out. 9dpo ffs. Gutted. Will stay on board until af comes properly, probably in a few days but pretty much lost hope for this month now.

missmrsmummy · 18/01/2014 10:30

Happy birthday Owlie!

KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 10:25

Happy Birthday, Owlie! I'll be celebrating a third of a century on the 28th Jan-hoping to get my BFP before then Smile

So, still on the Jan Bus too and getting impatient, Grrr

EnglishGirlAbroad · 18/01/2014 10:18

Congrats to all the new BFPs!!! And sorry to the others for the cruel arrival of AF :(

I'm still here! BFP due 24th

But now I feel like AF is coming to get me! Was cd 24 last time and that's tomorrow for me.

ImaginaryHat · 18/01/2014 09:40

LittleMissSunshine33 · 18/01/2014 09:40

Congratulations kitty any and honey!! Here's hoping to healthy sticky happy pregnancies!

Sorry all BFNsHmm

Are there many people left on the Jan bus?? My AF/BFB isn't due til 30th?

KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 09:35

Your explanation is better, ImaginaryHat Wink

ImaginaryHat · 18/01/2014 09:30

Whoops x post with kitty on ewcm!

Whoops x post with kitty on ewcm!

ImaginaryHat · 18/01/2014 09:23

Wow congrats kitty, Amy and honey, what a great start to the weekend for the Jan bus!!

MrsExtra ewcm is egg white cervical mucus. Its when your cervical mucus goes thin and stretchy, like an egg white consistency. It happens around the time of ovulation and helps the sperm reach their destination. However, not everyone gets it (I get a bit but not a lot), so there are a few tricks rumoured to help, like the cough medicine or various supplements. I usually use preseed which mimics it, used cough medicine early this cycle too.

KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 09:22

Very happy for,you, Honeybear! -fantastic news! You must be on cloud nine Grin

MrsE, EWCM is the 'mucus' or discharge that is quite clear and stretchy and best for all the little,swimmers and peaks around the time of ovulation.

missmrsmummy · 18/01/2014 09:08

Yay Honey!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 18/01/2014 08:59

Ewcm? Sorry I AM a newbie!

KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 08:58

Explains why I didn't get any luck Googling NUDP-forgot it was part of the Koala plan!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 18/01/2014 08:57

Can I ask what evening primrose oil is good for in pg? I used to take it for pmt but stopped as it said not advised if ttc.
I'm currently taking a concoction:
Thyroxine, iron, folicacid, calcium & magnesium.

Honeybear30 · 18/01/2014 08:56

So it turns out those cramps must have been implantation cramps since I got a bfp this morning! Dh convinced me to be brave and do my first test so that we would just know. I'm very happy but also cautious as this is pg #1, baby #1.

Just to reassure you all, other than cramps on 11 and 12 DPO I have no symptoms. Nothing at all out of the ordinary. I was convinced on those days it was over. And then I just felt like af wasn't coming which is why I did the test. But honestly I feel completely normal. So there is always hope!!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 18/01/2014 08:46

Congrats Amy!! Smile
