Feb 2017 bus is ready to go! TTC this month? Hop on.....

Now on cd46. Still no AF. However my longest cycle has been 67 days. I'm 42 so age is against me. Now full of cold too and generally feeling crap. DTD pretty much every day from cd8 to cd30. Now back to x3 week. Really hoping for bfp this cycle. Not tested yet though. Am trying to hold out til cd67 as that is my longest cycle to date. What do others do in similar situation? FX for everyone this month.

Really hoping we are on the Feb bus! Been ttc since August. Using cycles app and this month tried clear blue digital ovulation tests. Had a static smiley - peak fertility and DTD for two days up to and afterwards. Keeping my fingers crossed! 😬😬 I would love it if it happens for us x

Oh so sorry about MC I think that sounds like a good idea to use them from next cycle as potentially could waste them using them now. I can understand how the IC are confusing especially with recent MC, My cycles are irregular so had no idea when to use them from but seeing as they were cheap I just use them daily from AF finish. Hope that things settle down for you or that actually you can just throw them in the bin as you get a BFP and sticky bean on this cycle. Xx

Well I'm currently CD 16 but after a miscarriage. It came with 20 tests so next cycle I'm going to start from when the bleeding finishes and just see if I can see a pattern I guess!

The internet OPKs are just confusing me. I had a positive on CD 14 but when my cycles are so long and I've miscarried I can't bring myself to believe it!

Thanks for the reply

Hi claire no sorry haven't used the CB ones. When was your last AF? I just basically use the OPK from day after AF finishes as my cycles are irregular but my test lines are very light until day before ovulation. I agree the CB does take the guessing out of it. How many do you get? Can you just start using them and wait for the smiley or are there different ones for different parts of cycle?

I've only had it once before around October, along with every other pregnancy symptom but had a BFN so thinking back it may of been a chem pregnancy. Fingers crossed this is out month!!

zeb I'm 7 dpo and posted earlier today about a pain in my left side that I got last night! Sounds very similar to what you had. I have to ignore my boobs, they do their own thing during the tww lol hopefully it's a good sign for us both 😊

So I'm currently 5DPO and last night I had really sharp twinges on my right side and also had the most sensitive nips (sorry) I don't know whether it would be my whole breasts as I don't have any breast tissue. Any1 else had this or am I just symptom spotting 🙈

Has anyone had any experience with the clearblue dual hormone ovulation kit? I got one but it's now quite clear I need to start it at the beginning of my cycle. The problem is I have no idea how long my cycle is so can't time starting using the sticks (and it was £27 so don't want to waste them!).

My OPK's are always dark so struggle to find a peak so I was hoping the dual hormone element would help!

Happy weekend everyone!

I've used both fertility friend and Ovia (been doing this 10 months now...) and fertility friend is much more accurate. Ovia won't tell you when you actually ovulate and it has a weird system of fertility "peaks" which doesn't reflect how fertility actually operates, tis odd.

Hi glitter i will have to have a look at Ovia, thanks! Seen it mentioned on here but didn't know what it was. Tbh I thought it was some kind of fancy opk device 😂

Holly nice to see you again! Although sorry it's not on the antenatal boards for us both! Hopefully we will be soon hey! And that's sounds v promising that your having symptoms around implantation etc I have everything crossed for you!

I think I'm going to relax bit this month, I feel incredibly greatful for the children I have so anymore are a happy bonus really xx

17th February sorry!!!

Morning all 😊

So I promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot. But guess what I'm doing lol so I'm 7dpo and last night I stood up from sitting on my bed and got a massive, like, ping on the left side of my womb area. It actually made me say ouch! Then ached for a bit after. I've definitely ovulated as I've got a nice shift on my chart. Any ideas?

Hi chaos I'm sorry your last bfp didn't work out for you. I've used fertility friend for years and love it 😊

Hope everyone is well this morning 🤗

Morning ladies!?

Got my first static smiley face on opk this morning.. strange it's just gone from negative to static with no flashing in between!

I've put the info into Ovia and it has completely shifted my fertile week, I've also put it in fertility friend and it has given me a suggested test date for the first time which is 17th December.

Some more DTD for next couple of days and then that's it ...dreaded 2ww!!

Chaos I used fertility friend but only to compare to Ovia, I don't like it that much but I've been using Ovia that long , maybe it's just what I'm used to!

Ohh forgot to say if af doesn't show beforehand my next testing date will be my dh birthday on 15th March! I'm really holding out that long now!

And does anyone use fertility friend app? Xx

Hi everyone

And thanks for the well wishes! Read up a bit on chemical pregnancies and seems they are a lot more common than I realised !

Nothing new happening here and probably won't be for a while! Pretty much finished bleeding so just the odd bit when I wipe now and also feeling a bit lot Blurgh in general!

I have started temping today and will get out the opks around cd15 as usual cycle is around 37-40 days for me so won't ov for a while (cd4 today!)

Hope all are doing well and those who are in tww get Bfps in errr about two weeks time! make them sticky ones too!

Much love ladies!! Xx

harrypotternerd Great to have a testing friend! Definitely got sore boobs today which I'm hoping means ovulation has happened - I hope that we did enough bd-ing!

Gah I thought this month was going really well but now I'm ill, have a slight fever which is screwing up my chart and DH is too scared to DTD because I need to rest. -_-

Hey all!! Welcome to the Feb Fun Bus!!
I've only been on MN less than a week but everyone on here is really lush and it's fab hearing everyone's experience and supporting eachother!!
Here's my stats if I've not spoke to you:
Age 32
Ttc #1
Cycle 5 off pill (3 proper trying!)
CD24
So I'm in the 2ww meaning maybe I should have joined the Jan bus lol but af due next week and I buggered up my opk and didn't really notice any ov symptoms so dtd all over the place 😂
I'm either 9, 7 or 6 dpo 😂
Slight tender boobies and very slight cramps and my usual exhausted-ness (I'm a busy bee so always exhausted haha) so not holding out much hope!!
Fx for all 💗💙

Lovechild - I am testing on the 8th

hopping on as AF appears to have arrived on cue this am.

age 27
ttc #1
cycle 2, CD 1
short cycles with quite short luteal phase so hoping that wont bugger me too much! ( I ovulated cd 14 or 15 last month so only 10/11 day luteal phase. on the plus side of short cycles, its less time to wait to know if im actually late! every cloud

Hi everyone,

I'd like to join the bus please!

Ttc#1
Age 32
Cycle 4
Cd 23

I have been using OPK this month after saying I'd just take it easy but glad I did as my cycles have been irregular (26-34 days) post-pill so had no idea when to expect ovulation and therefore when to start poas like a crazy lady. Anyway yesterday I had a lovely positive OPK, tested again just now and it gone lighter again so thinking I've had my 'LH surge' and that I've either ovulated (did have some lower back/AF like pains about 10am today) or will do in the next 24 hrs. I'm so relieved as really didn't think I had been ovulating!

So here goes the tww. We dtd 24th, 26th and will hopefully again tonight so really hoping I'm in with a chance! No EWCM but have had much clearer watery discharge and have used pre seed.

Good luck to everyone else on the bus! Anyone else testing on 8th?

Xx

Hi ladies! I really wanna be on the TTC bus but I have not had a period since coming off the pill 6 months ago, no withdrawal bleed or spotting or anything! I've gained weight, gone for hormone tests and been just told to wait it out until 1 year with no periods. Is there hope for me? Is there something I can do to help it along? Can I still get pregnant without a period? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Lol phase! Yeah I have to admit I get a bit frustrated as my OH isn't really the "quickie"'kinda guy! Great when you want to have fun, not so much if you want to sleep/late for work etc!

Hi to all the others hopping on!

Hello newbies. I been lurking in background but been here a while.
Ttc2
Cycle 3

Pretty sure I'm in my Fw as lots of ewcm. Im a bit hacked off my OH is really suffering with a bad back. if I do my best and 'work him up' I can jump on it right at the last bit ?? Hahaha Anyone else feel really selfish and thinks just fucking do it. I'll do the hard work you can just lie there
