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

My step dad died at the weekend so I don't hold out much hope that This will be our month as I was ovulating this weekend and for obvious reasons haven't managed to dtd, apart from Thursday.

Worst week of my life. :(

That picture is so interesting Bindi. The whole process is so fascinating.

Does anyone know if I can manually add my ovulation date to Fertility Friend? It's ignored my positive OPK because I started temping but abandoned it on the nights I only had 1 hour and 3 hours sleep. I want it to count my DPO for me...

Hold off bindi! I would be tempted to test Xmas day though

Celen that diagram is great. Amazing to see how it travels along, it really takes it time getting down the tube.

I've not charted Soda so not much help sorry. Have you had ewcm? That's my biggest indicator really. I guess you need to be hydrated though to get it which may be difficult with a cold.

Managed to DTD before the nursery pick up today. Bless DH he cycled mega quick back from work to squeeze in a quick shag!

And sorry Soda I don't know much about temping - someone will be along soon to help!

Haha thanks I've talked myself down!! Last month I was so sure I was PG - agonising sore boobs, sickly feeling, very sore (what I thought was) implantation cramps and nope. This month no symptoms at all so I don't think I am I just like Peeing on a stick!!

Welcome askpray

Stay away bindi!!

I'm feeling a bit confused. Not sure if I've actually ovulated yet. Anyone chart and fancy deciphering mine?! I had a positive OPK on Thursday and assumed I ovd on Friday with a temp spike but temps been all over the place really. I've had a really bad cold and have been coughing quite a bit in the morning the last couple of days and I was very feverish on Thursday (cd13) which is assumed explained my high temp then. I haven't been taking any ov sticks since Friday (negative). Opinions welcome!

at your boobs wee

Don't do it Bindi, step away from them sticks!! If you've conceived, it won't show yet anyway!

Nooooo don't do it bindi!! Or at least not for another 3 days

Hi everyone! One week into the 2ww and I'm so close to caving and PingOAS. I'm not working as much over Christmas so I've nothing to to distract me! Help!

Hello to askprayhope

Morning everyone else on the bus too.

I'm having a pampering morning at the hairdressers then dh is going to take smallest chops out and I can have the house to myself for a while, which never happens!

4dpo today and I noticed my boobs were a bit tender when I ran upstairs. Maybe that's just cause they're big though

How's everyone else doing?

Hi all!

I'm brand new here (though been doing the terrible deed of googling things so have read mumsnet posts for awhile!)

TTC number 1
Been off depo since January after 2 years so don't know how that's affected me only got my periods back in September!

But I wonder if I can join you all on the January bus? I just finished my period today, so a whole nother cycle to try in (wahoo not)

Good luck to everyone on the bus

The things we do for the cause!

I've been taking it since October mama and was really surprised it's worked this quickly** and so well. It's making my carpel tunnel a million times worse but hey ho, I'll put up with it out of desperation!

Oooh, that's interesting Curly, I might give B6 a whirl next month. I usually ov between day 16-21 I think.

Sorry AF arrived Kat, spots and sheep and welcome to bus.

I'm impressed mama - compete determination Got a peak on my CBFM today at CD13, pre the B6 it was more like CD17-19 so big improvement. Best crack on with the SMEP, which I agree is bloody exhausting! DH is alway up for it, but I'm totally done in by 9pm.

Hello sheep and spots. The mulled wine and party poppers are at the back of the bus. Welcome to the party no one wants to attend!

I feel seriously shit today. DS spent all weekend being sick but thankfully is right as rain today. However... I now have horrible tummy cramps, aches and shivers. I've eaten one piece of toast all day and am planning to have Ben & Jerrys for tea. Still managed two shags though, how's that for commitment? Cant let my Mum's sacrifice go to waste.

Hi all. Hopping over from the December bus following the unwelcome appearance of AF today. Was really hoping Mother Nature might give me an early pressie in the form of a BFP but apparently not.

Name: spots
Age: 31 (for another 4 days...)
TTC: #2 (1 DS born August 2013)
Cycle: 13
ETD: 1st Feb

Even though I probably won't test until the very end of the month it'd be nice to hang out on the bus if that's ok. We are probably moving into fertility referral territory in the new year having already started the process in the autumn. I have polycystic ovaries and long irregular cycles so never look to test before cd42 as my cycles are usually at least 35 days.

Hopping off the December bus and onto the January bus!
Age 33
DD 2.5
Cycle 3
CD 1
ETD 18th January (sooooo long away!!!)
Hoping January is kind to us all xx

weechops we've been TTC #1 for 10 months now. At first I tested really early (4dpo was a low point!) But I started to realise how upset BFN was making me Nd ruining my day. I'd prefer to stay positive and just hope I get a BFP. Once AF arrives I'm upset by at least it's only once. No symptoms at all - my boobs are tender today but that's usually a post ov symptom for me.

mama I usually get 2 days of positive OPKs but I think it varies From person to person

So I bought 100mg Vit B6 and also some Calcium/Magnesium 500/250mg just cos I heard Magnesium regulates estrogen. God knows if its true but I figure it won't do me any harm!

Makes me feel like I'm taking charge whilst waiting for my appt. I'll start OPKing Day 20. Damn these long cycles! It makes everything take so looooooooong. Its so boring waiting around for the best week!

How long does everyone get positive OPKs for? I've had them for 24 hours now (POAS 5 times!)

soda I wish I had your willpower!! Though I get it, af is marginally better then holding out for the elusive bfp for days. Maybe I just like torturing myself 😂 I'll probably start testing on the 28th which is 10dpo. All my other pregnancies I've seen a super faint line then before a bfp.

So 3dpo and I have raging thirst. Symptom??😄

soda that's a good idea. I don't think I'll have ever had so much DTD in my life but I'm a bit of a planner and organiser so anything to increase chances and reduce the waiting and wondering is worth trying for me. DH was extremely pleased when I told him about SMEP!

weechops Are you an early tester? I'm not planning on testing unless AF is late. I have 14 day LP so due 2 Jan so I won't be testing until 3 Jan. which suits me anyway as I'll be with my family or the in laws until 3 Jan anyway!

katemoss welcome. Re early testing - it's really up to you. A FRER may pick it up a week early but that really is very early. I'd try and hold out a bit longer if you can. I guess it depends whether you can cope with getting BFN when it might be BFP if you test later? I hate getting BFN so don't bother testing any more - unless AF is late. Which she never is. The bitch!!
