Hello all, I hope you don't mind but I was on the October bus and was just popping back to see how everyone was getting on - particularly Soda, as you were so kind and supportive to a fellow worrier :) I've got my fingers crossed for your January tests. x

Vitamin b6 KateMoss? I take it as I ovulate between cd14-20, it's very annoying!!

MiniLop · 31/12/2015 00:48

Great news kitty! I'm still waiting for mine. Think I might have spotted ewcm tonight so I'm hopeful for a +ve opk in the morning Smile

KateMossIsMyQueen · 30/12/2015 22:55

Wee I'm sure on another thread someone mentioned vitamin B-something brought their ovulation forward by a fair bit. I'll see if I can have a look but def in the last few days. You're still playing a bit of a lottery, so maybe wait till the month before and then decide? Travelling OH are the WORST

GuessHowMuch · 30/12/2015 21:56

Thank you fuzzy - I appreciate the reassurance Smile

esmeraldathistle · 30/12/2015 21:02

I'm not drinking nye as just don't want to risk it but it would be good if we could just see what is happening inside of us to be sure! Give my liver a break anyway I guess!

esmeraldathistle · 30/12/2015 21:00

Can def see a line guess congratulations!! I'm only 3 dpo and going to try and hold out for as long as possible before testing as was so eager last month I did like 6 tests and it was all just too emotional!

Got 2 days of very positive opks on 26th/27th Dec and am temping too so am really hoping I ovulated as we dtd a LOT! I got ovulation pain so I'm hopeful!

This waiting is so annoying!

FuzzyOwl · 30/12/2015 20:49

I had period like cramps for most of my pregnancy guess so not necessarily anything to worry about, but something to get used to instead. Grin

Sunflower1985 · 30/12/2015 20:46

Place holder. Started ttc December. Extreeeemly doubtful. Let's see what January brings.

GinandJazzHands · 30/12/2015 20:26

Woohoo Guess! Officially first BFP of the 2016 buses! Great news and fx to all DTD and POASing at the mo. I'm only CD5 but AF has been merciful and stopped already so just jumped DH. Going to really try and DTD every couple of days this month regardless as an LH surge with no OV then a late OV really caught us out last month. Here's to many more Jan BFPs!

Celen · 30/12/2015 20:20

Aren't you kind KateMoss?! Grin

weechops evening primrose can help with production of ewcm too so doubly helpful Smile

weechops · 30/12/2015 19:58

guess huge congratulations!! Our first bfp on the bus 😊

mimi nope no good news 😂 Tested again this morning at 12dpo, because I obviously like torturing myself! Used my CB digi. - NOT PREGNANT. Can't get much clearer than that 😂

So I'm nothing if not practical. I looked up the next few months and according to my calculations dh will be home at the end of March but leaving again a few days before I ov gah!! Well assuming my cycles stay the same.

My plan is to start using evening primrose oil every cycle and see if I can get my ov days brought forward. I did this when we ttc #3 and got it forward by 2 days, so here's hoping. Every little counts!

I'll still stay on the bus to hopefully see you all get your bfps 😊

KateMossIsMyQueen · 30/12/2015 19:05

Congrats guess! I'll take one for the team and have your share of the prosecco on NYE Wink

I have done 4 tests in 4 days. Blaming first timer keenness, all BFN. Not even a hint of BFP so not sure what I was expecting to happen! DH back to work so only home on weekends after Monday, decided not to check with an OPK this month (I get bad ovulation pains anyway so it's not entirely necessary anyway unless I want to check it's a sneaky bit of trapped wind) and just shag the whole time he's home, otherwise I'll throw a strop when he inevitably misses the "peak" time.

I'm doing dry Jan anyway which might help things along. AF due Friday and then end of Jan, so I'm gonna be hanging at the back of the bus symptom spotting for a while longer! Smile

Curlywurly4 · 30/12/2015 18:49

Hello to those hopping on and congrats Guess what a lovely start to the new year! Hopefully the first BFP of many on the bus.

Pleased the Vit B is making a difference Anna I had ovulation pains this month which I've not had before so think they are definitely doing something.

mimi I had a random AF at CD18 before I fell pregnant in the summer, I don't think ovulated either, it was all very odd.

8 Dpo today. I may have to crack and POAS tomorrow morning before the NYE celebrations. Never had a BFP that early so seems a bit pointless really. Won't stop me though!

GuessHowMuch · 30/12/2015 18:42

Thanks everyone! I think I'm 12DPO today; I had a positive OPK on 17th Dec. I was hopeful this cycle as I've had really sore boobs the last few days. I'm worried though as I've got cramps that feel like period pain. Just have to wait and see I guess. Sending the biggest best wishes to everyone still waiting for their BFP!

mamaneedsamojito · 30/12/2015 17:51

What DPO are you, Guess?

kittyvet · 30/12/2015 17:31

Congratulations guess!!
Thanks for asking mimi got a high on my monitor today so it's green light to BD all this week :) hoping you get a positive soon mini!

Mimilicious013 · 30/12/2015 17:25

Wow,Congratulations guess.happy and healthy 9 months.

FuzzyOwl · 30/12/2015 16:50

Great news that the vitamins are making a difference for you Annarose and fingers crossed you get your BFP in a couple of weeks.

Annarose2014 · 30/12/2015 16:48

COngrats!!!

Fuzzyowl thats occurred to me too. Am definately gonna keep using the OPKs forthe the next 10 days just in case I have a few surges.

One positive thing is that I do feel the vitamins are making some difference. I never got such a dark line last month, and have very sore pre-menstrual boobs so definately some hormonal level has changed. Whether its changing the way I need it to remains to be seen! Grin

mamaneedsamojito · 30/12/2015 16:34

Pah, not even a squinter. I can see it without even clicking the photo. Congrats! Officially our first Jan bus BFP Smile

Celen · 30/12/2015 15:19

Well done Guess, what great news!! Smile

KitKat1985 · 30/12/2015 15:03

That's clearly a line GuessHowMuch. Congrats!

I'm going to tentatively step on this bus if you don't mind. We have a DD who is nearly 16 months and would like to start trying for another. DH wanted to wait a bit for financial reasons but I think he's come around to my way of thinking now which is that if we until our finances our completely sorted we could be waiting forever as something is always going to crop up (I'd like to clarify here that we're not on the breadline or anything, just DH wanted to pay off a car loan etc). I'm still on the mini-pill right now but thinking of just stopping it on January the 1st so I can drink guilt-free over NYE and just seeing what happens, although I suspect the first month is realistically going to just be about getting my cycle back to normal again. Plus DD is teething and up every sodding night, so how much energy me and DH will actually have for sex is questionable My cycle is normally about 28 days though so technically not impossible for me to get a BFP by the end of January, and DD1 was conceived pretty quickly (second month of trying).

So the stats are:
Age: 30
DH age: 34
TTC: #2
Cycle 1.

MiniLop · 30/12/2015 14:47

Guess definitely a line there! Congrats! Grin

FuzzyOwl · 30/12/2015 14:47

That's not a squinter Guess. That is a definite line. Grin Congratulations and what a fab way to end the year and start 2016.
