Hi everyone,
Thought I'd kick of the Feb bus.
I'm ttc #3 and it isn't easy this time.......
I'm planning on giving Feb all I've got - who's with me??!

I don't have any tests in the house and have told myself that if AF hasn't turned up by Friday on Friday I will buy some tests but I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow and not sure if I can hold out. Sorry AF got you mother

MotherofUnicorns · 06/02/2017 09:21

Af got me this morning. After 3 days of spotting I was going slightly mad convincing myself it might be implantation..... tragic I know. Anyway. Onwards. I have the snazzy CB monitor thing for this month and some new zita west vitamins so what could possibly go wrong!

Congrats on the BFPs!! CD1 has finally arrived for me so I'm off to find the March bus. Fingers crossed to those still waiting to test...I'll be keeping a nosy in here for your BFPs Smile

harrypotternerd · 05/02/2017 14:02

hey guys, I have been majorly busy the last few days so have not had a chance to come on. Congrats to all the BFP's and sorry to those who have missed out this month. AF due on the 8th although ovia changed it to the 11th the other day for no particular reason. Been having cramps, insomnia and have been hungrier then i normally am and had sore boobs. Last night I was kept awake because by ribs under my boobs on both sides were really sore...has anyone ever had this? I started a course this month in hopes that it will keep me focused on something other than ttc.

Loxy4527 · 05/02/2017 12:38

Back to day 1! I figured as much so never mind. So I'm back to my normal 27 day cycle o.O I have no idea what happened last month to give me only 25 days and the period from hell. Weird.

Time for some clean eating and drinking this month I think :)

Ohb0llocks · 05/02/2017 12:24

I know I know I'm just super impatient!

EMHW123 · 05/02/2017 12:20

claire Yeah I tried the cheapies but was useless at getting into a regular checking habit so went for cb this month. I'm either really early or late.... apps have been useless with their ov predictions...... 5 months and no bfp makes more sense now! 🙈

oyster I'm sure they will be fine to use :)

Oysterbabe · 05/02/2017 12:11

I used the cheapies first time round and got on well with them. I've got a stack of them left but just realised they went out of date in November. I might give them a go anyway, I would hope they'd still work 😞

88claire · 05/02/2017 12:01

EHMW123

No worries! If I'm honest the cheapies have told me exactly what then clearblue tests do so in future I'll save the pennies and just get cheapies. But the clearblue is useful if you aren't sure what a positive and negative looks like for you. I just used it to confirm this month :)

EMHW123 · 05/02/2017 11:47

lol bollocks

claire you are a star!!! I was beginning to panic! I'm cd17 and first time for properly tracking ov! Thanks for being lovely! 😘

Oysterbabe · 05/02/2017 11:24

Bollocks you are a silly sausage. That egg is still winging it's way towards your womb and hasn't even thought about coughing out any HCG yet.
The naughty step with you.

88claire · 05/02/2017 11:21

Ohbollocks

Amazing! I'm determined not to pee on anything until AF is late! I'm still having a LH surge today so guessing I'm 1dpo tomorrow. I'm sure testing will be very tempting 😂

EMHW123

Mine were very steadily negative (no changes in colour) and suddenly yesterday morning much darker and then today they're blaringly positive. So it was all very sudden. I'm CD 24 so it is a late ovulation which seems normal for me! I'm only just starting to track so I can get an idea where my cycle is (and a BFP would be an amazing bonus)! Good luck for your LH surge soon!

Feb 2017 bus is ready to go! TTC this month? Hop on.....
Ohb0llocks · 05/02/2017 11:03

Well the early testing award goes to....

Me at 4dpo!

I clearly just have a strong need to wee on sticks.

EMHW123 · 05/02/2017 10:57

Sorry I meant claire88

EMHW123 · 05/02/2017 10:56

Congrats holly!! clare I'm soooooo glad you posted about your variation in CB ov kit results.... I've tested every morning for the last week and it's been negative, I had some stringy cf about 5 days ago but not as much as usual and today is meant to be my ov day.... it's not..... I was getting worried. At least you can see that your at least in the fertile window :) exciting in itself! I've got my fingers crossed for a late ov ...... sorry to those being sabotaged by Aunt Flo Flowers

ttcnovice · 05/02/2017 08:49

Does anyone have any advice on luteal phase lengths please? I heard that your LP doesn't change cycle to cycle, is that right?

I'm currently 11DPO and so according to a 12-day LP would be due AF tomorrow, making this cycle only 25 days. Previous cycles have all been around the 28-day mark though, so I'm not sure what to expect (and hence when to know if/when I'm late etc). Can anyone please shed any light?

ZEB91 · 05/02/2017 08:34

Congratulations on BFPs!!

So AF due tomorrow and she's definitely on her way!
Thanks if having a break from TTC til around April as have weddings and going away.

Has anybody had a conception reading off Mark Akinson? I've just purchased a reading and really excited to see what she says!

Good luck to those still in their 2WW

GN06 · 05/02/2017 08:20

And within about 10 mins of writing that af turned up 😥 I may JUST have another chance on the Feb bus.....

Congrats to you on your BFP Holly!! X

GN06 · 05/02/2017 08:03

CD28 today and had felt nothing until I got up for a wee and felt some very faint but distinct af like cramps :( I think I'm probably going to be out this month.

LegallyE · 05/02/2017 07:33

TTC with no1! Cycle #2. Still have 4 days to go until AF is meant to arrive... But just have this feeling that cycle #1 hasn't yielded results.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 04/02/2017 21:12

Hi ladies I am CD5 now, expected ovulation mid Feb, I am using OPK to time it.. I would be due next AF 2 march. Good luck everyone!

AnyFarrahFowler · 04/02/2017 20:20

AF arrived today. Can't be too sad, as it was only our first try. I reckon I can stay on the February bus as I'll be ovulating again around 13th/14th. There's still hope for a Valentine's baby!

88claire · 04/02/2017 19:24

Scratch that.. Just did another one and I got my static smiley.

Here is the progression if anyone is interested. I'm amazed in the difference between positive and negative in one day (the last two strips).

Sorry if I'm boring you. Im finding the whole thing quite interesting and useful (I'm a children's nurse!)

Not sure if I'm imagining it but I've got mild cramps on the opposite site to where I ovulated from last cycle.

Now for my first dreaded two week wait....!

Feb 2017 bus is ready to go! TTC this month? Hop on.....
88claire · 04/02/2017 18:28

So will count myself as in the two week wait from Monday I think :)

Only weird thing this is obviously positive but the clearblue dual hormone test is still flashing and not a solid smiley. Does anyone have experience with that?!

Congratulations to those with BFP!!
