CD14 and still no sign of OV according to the OPKs. According to FF I'm not due to OV until New Year's Eve after my long cycle last month! I'll keep testing and keep DTD (DH thinks it's great... Might change his mind after a few months if it takes that long!!)

Sounds promising Kate! I'm due to test 1st Jan too ☺

Trying to not go mental with symptom spotting at the moment

The tiniest tiniest amount of spotting today, AF due 1st/2nd Jan (I am stretching the eligibility for Jan Bus perhaps) and it's only our first cycle. DH and I are trying to stay cool, "it's not really classy to get pregnant on the first go anyway" has become our mantra along with "I'd like to feel like we earned it" to try and remind ourselves that we would need to be very very lucky to be successful on the first go, and a meltdown is totally unnecessary if we get a NPT on New Years Day.

My PCOS symptoms seem to be much better since I lost weight a few years ago, although I do still have a rather impressive set of sideburns and belly hair if I skimp on the waxing, I have at least been ovulating on a (fairly) regular basis since I came off the pill in Jan 2015, so we're feeling cautiously positive...

Welcome Grace, sorry for your loss hopefully we will all be lucky in the new year

Oh my just held a visiting colleagues 11 week old daughter for 10 minutes, Im on cloud 9!

Hi all can I join you lovely ladies?

My stats are:
Grace893, 28, TTC#1, Cycle #4 ETD: ?

Had a MC at 5 weeks last week and am not sure what my body is doing or what is going to happen to my cycles, though secretly putting my hopes on the fact some people are more fertile after a MC.

Babydust to everyone and I hope this will be a lucky fresh start bus!

Avoid caffeine and booze too if you can. Acidic stuff is not bladder friendly.

Ok I'm drinking a ton of water and have sent dh to get Cystopurin. Hopefully it'll shift soon!

Cystopurin is amazing. You get it over the counter. But yes, a post-shag wee is essential. I'm prone to it, so always have Cystopurin in the house.

Wee, I used to get cystitis loads (also shag induced ). You need to pee ASAP after having sex to help flush any nasties from your urethra. I also really recommend drinking a pint of water every 20 minutes for 3 hours. Most of the time that's enough to get rid. You'll be pissing every 10 mins though so don't leave the house!

pug I'm so sorry for your loss

Hello dovey

Well I woke up to the joy of cystitis this morning!! Haven't had this in years and I forgot how crappy it is. Maybe it was all the sex after 3 months without 😂

So sorry pug, please be kind to yourself & take care xxx

Hello dovey!

It's nice having another newbie here & a lurker too hehe

Hello all, thank you for being so welcoming!

weechops that sounds like bliss!

Hi bindi I know how hard it is not to poas. I find if I can't take a pt because it's too early I just keep doing cheap opks! Terrible habitb

Hi soda sorry I cannot be any help. I haven't yet started charting, just opks. It's very interesting though - if January isn't kind to me I'll be doing it in February for sure!

Hi pug I know we have never spoken before but I wanted to say sorry for your loss

Hello, been a lurker for months now and would love to jump on the January bus! A bit about me:

Ttc #1
Age 34
Been ttc since March 2014, fell pg June 2015 but mc at 5 wks.
IBD for years, on various drugs for it and it's thankfully well controlled. No proper evidence to suggest that the drugs affect conception/pregnancy but the jury is definitely still out on that one. Docs seem encouraged that I managed to fall pregnant before though, so am still hopeful.

Big hello to all ttc and fingers crossed for success in 2016 xxx

Thanks Kitty, that worked a treat. I am now officially 1DPO!

mama you can tell FF to disregard a temp on the main data entry page. It's a small tick box under where you enter the tenp. That should sort it out. You can tell it to change the way it calculates ovulation in the settings but don't know if there is a manual override.

Celen that's a great diagram! I'm going use it to remind me why there's not point testing early when I'm ready to test! I might be stupid but I don't think I ever realised the egg was fertilised in the tube. I'm realising how little about my own biology I actually know!

So sorry to hear that Pug, especially at this time of year. Thinking of you and your family
