january bus!..anyone for the long journey to bfp!

Am 8dpo today and that website recommended above recommends against poas until at least 15dpo - which is around when af is due!! Not sure I'll wait that long before testing but I might 'sit on my hands' for another few days!!

toadie, funnily enough I just discovered that one last night!!

Good luck on the Feb bus mama - I'm sure i'll be joining you on there soon

Ah celen I feel your pain ....... 5dpo is no mans land, are you a symptom spotter? this site may amuse you whilst you wait -

I was on it for hours last night

xx

I'll keep an eye on the thread so I can watch you all get BFPs

Only 5dpo...gah, waiting is so bloody frustrating!!!

Anyone POAS-ing today?

Oh mama I'm so sorry - and sorry to see you go too, hopefully catch up on another "is there a line?" thread soon?

Enjoy your sauna 😘

Did an HPT this morning for sauna reasons. Didn't really need to because my sore boobs have gone again so I know AF is imminent. BFfuckingN. Bah! I'm over to join the Feb bus. Good luck ladies!

Good luck first,let's hope u have a short and successful cycle dear.77 days is ages away.fx

Cd8 today. So impatient to know how long this cycle will be!!! 33-77 is the post-pill range so far! Been off it for 7 months now so hoping that I will regularise soon!!!!

Don't think I could cope with another 77 dayer!!!

Thanks celen for the link.
Welcome newbies and good luck this month.
Anyone poasing this weekend ?FX for lots of bfps !
Cd5 here and planning on doing the smep this cycle.
Baby dust to all starting a new cycle,dtd,in the tww and about to poas !!

Sorry think I must have read some older posts!

So sorry to hear that wellthatdidntgotoplan

I don't know if I'm going crazy but I have right pelvic pain and it just doesn't feel like the usual before period cramps. I read that it could possibly be implantation pain?

I am more than likely going insane tho

Thanks for that link Celen, I bought a couple of tests today with a vague plan of testing tomorrow at 7 DPO but I will do my very best to hold off for a few more days at least. Maybe...

Hi everyone, can I join you please?
I'm 28, TTC#1
Stopped taking my pill 23 Oct, had my first natural period 24 Nov, now... nothing. Excitedly did a test on 30 Dec absolutely convinced I was PG but it was a BFN :-(
Still no AF...

This website is bloody awesome and here it explains when to test after you put in a couple of dates

Hey Anna

Implantation happens anywhere 6-12 dpo so the very earliest would be 8 or 9dpo to allow the hcg hormone to start rising (which happens from the point of implantation).

I've posted this before (in the december bus I think) but it shows you why it's pointless to POAS before that point.

Welcome Purple & queen

Now it's January, new year new start, bla bla bla, maybe we should start posting motivational shit to keep us going? Here is my contribution...

I'm 4 days post positive opk and the line has been getting fainter every day. I'll keep testing in case there's a second surge but AF is still normally 20 days away!

I guess it may be shorter this month but who knows!? This month could still have been a dud.

When do you all POAS? 6dpo? 9dpo?

An do you count from the + day or take a day off for an est ovulation day?

Hello everyone. Hopping on unexpectedly from the December bus. After a super long cycle, DP and I decided to stop ttc until after the wedding. However Xmas happened and suddenly felt very disappointed with the situation! Took an OPK and it was positive so must have caught o day! DP and I decided that we'd try one last month after all. So we're back in the running again! Fx!

Hi everyone, I'm hopping on from the December bus. Still on CD35 and no AF. I tested yesterday morning- was a BFN. If no AF by Monday I will test again, but I'm almost certain she will turn up tomorrow! I think that will put my next test day as 4th February! Seems miles off.

Hope this is a lucky bus for everyone!

Bad luck wee, cerone, kate and curly on AF arriving. Witch is due for me today too but no sign yet. Have been getting some cramps though so know it is coming, don't want to go to the toilet (like that will stop it)!
Planning on using this month to get back into running and healthy eating I have eaten so much cheese! Good luck to the next testers : )

Thank you to those who offered their condolences to me after my Step Dad's death before christmas, much appreciated.
AF due in 2 days, already feeling crampy, just hoping she doesn't rear her ugly head tomorrow on my birthday. I tested yesterday and it was a bfn, which didn't surprise me at all considering we only managed to dtd once in my fertile window and that was at the beginning of it because of recent events.

Onwards and upwards.

Ah English and Celen we're cycle buds then (symptoms spotters together) I usually get symptoms from about 10dpo and I'm going to try and hold out to test until 12dpo.... I have a short luteal phase so its make or break on 12dpo! Love a good symptom spot

Sorry AF has shown up to spoil the party Curly wee and kate will you be around for the next cycle still in Jan? Have a huge glass of something for me Curly

AF has arrived today the cowbag, so I'm CD1 and enjoying a huge nice glass of red and going to stuff my face with chocs. My healthy new life style starts tomorrow

Ooh mama that sounds brilliant, spoil yourself tomorrow
