Hiya,

Just started in Jan but drove myself crazy.
Age 33
Dpo 13
Ttc number 1
Cycles 2

Expecting af tomorrow.

Using the clear blue ovulation test last month, I think it put to much pressure on my other half so might just tell him the likely we and get on with it from there

Cycle 1 of properly trying although have been off bc 6 months.

Kungfubaby · 27/01/2017 13:33

Hopping on the bus if I may. CD25 here and pretty sure AF is on the way.
Stats:

TTC#2
Age 35
Cycle 13 Sad

Had a chemical / early MC last month (bfp 27th Dec, started bleeding 2nd Jan - happy new year to me!) All a bit gutting after a year of trying without even a glimmer of a bfp. Trying to stay positive though - at least now we know I can get pregnant! Fell with DS first cycle so it's frustrating this one's taking so long.

For various reasons DH and I only DTD once this month, so not holding out much hope. Must do better in Feb! Thinking of getting some opks, and DTD more earlier in my cycle, as I think that's where we may have been going wrong. DTD every other day won't hurt either but not sure how DH will react to that Wink

Anyway, sending fertile thoughts to you all - we will get bfps in Feb Smile

Ohb0llocks · 27/01/2017 11:44

Not seeing DP tonight so hopefully I won't ov (not due to just yet but you never know).

We last dtd CD1, so will be back at it from tomorrow eve when he is home. Fx for this month.

Glitterbubble · 27/01/2017 11:08

Morning ladies!

Wow chaos, that's some testing will power you got there!! Fingers crossed !!

Cycle day 13 here, Ovia says fertile window starts today, although second day of digital opk and still negative ...but the lines on the strip are getting darker (even though instructions say ignore strip, only read the screen, I'm looking anyway)

Attempting to DTD every other day and hope this will be the lucky cycle Grin

Hippychic79 · 27/01/2017 08:53

Morning Ladies - I'm just lurking on the thread.
Thought I'd pop on and say hello to everyone.
Misty - I'm on day 5 of giving up smoking, I'm 38 and been smoking since i was 13! I've got a vape as I'm allergic to the patches and do not want to take the champix tablets as I do not want them to interfere with TTC (not sure if they do) but also heard they give you bad dreams, so too scared to try them to be honest... anyway - I just wanted to say.... it is really hard, every morning that coffee isn't the same without a smoke.... but I feel much better already and if i can do it... I'm sure you can. My oh smokes too and now I've quit, he's cutting down considerably... i would recommend getting a vape. Good luck.
I'm on CD13 today and got a negative OPK this morning - expecting a positive in the next couple of days (usually its CD14 or 15). I need to time the tackle as oh can't dtd every day or even every other :(

Bring on February and lots of BFPS :))))

harrypotternerd · 27/01/2017 07:49

Thanks, yes that helps. Im due for af on the 8th so hoping the luteal phase is long enough. Just worrying really.

ttcnovice · 27/01/2017 07:42

Sorry to hear that chaos Flowers Fx for a nice sticky bean for you this cycle!

ttcnovice · 27/01/2017 07:40

Hi harry I used the Clearblue digital OPKs for the first time this cycle too. I had two days of high before getting a peak - I think it can differ a lot but that's the average from what I can tell. Hope that helps, good luck!

Addtothechaos · 27/01/2017 07:31

Hi everyone!

See some of you from the Jan bus are here! Here we go again! Grin

Anyways, I will update myself quickly... Got a bfp Sunday gone (22nd?) and then sadly 3 days later my symptoms diminished and within hours I got what looks like af Sad chemical pregnancy I believe they call it?! Sad

Anyway I was sad that it's was all short lived but also understand that these things happen and I tested farrr too early! Like 11dpo so wasn't even a missed period.

My plan now it's to use opks and look for signs with cm. Then when I'm officially in the tww I will jump off the bus and wait t out until I am seriously late (like a week or two maybe) and test if af hasn't come by then. I want to be 6 weeks with the nausea etc before I test! I'm v fortunate to have two lovely children already to keep me busy and if no.3 is ment to be then it will happen but not getting worked up about it!

Hope you ladies that are well on your way in this cycle get your nice sticky Bfps soon!! Good luck everyone, here's to October/November babes! Xx

MrsGB2225 · 27/01/2017 06:57

mummy that's weird about the ovulation pain, could it have been implantation? I'm still figuring out how this all works. Stock up on wine and chocolate for tonight Wine Cake

MrsGB2225 · 27/01/2017 06:53

Happy Friday everyone!

Hope you are feeling better today blue we WILL all get our BFP.

Sorry I can't help Harry I'm just using the shag every other day method at the moment.

Bertie hope the cold goes soon... Just lie back and think of the BFP!

Misty I'm a secret junk food addict, but with a healthy eating DH and a toddler, I often end up eating chocolate in the loo!

I'm starting to get AF symptoms today. I haven't had one since stopping the pill, so hopefully this is it and I can start tracking my cycles a bit better. I told my DH last night and he seemed disappointed that we didn't get a BFP in the first month. Think he liked the idea of having super sperm, but I had to let him down gently and explain how it works Grin

Mummymathsteacher · 27/01/2017 06:35

So feeling very deflated today. Cd20 but had excrutiating pains last night which I think must have been ovulation. If so, I've missed my window this month.

I've never experienced anything like it - it was like early labour pains!!

2ww now I guess

harrypotternerd · 27/01/2017 01:27

Hey guys, I got the digital cb dual hormone opk. I finally got a high reading today so a few questions lol. How long after the high reading will it normally go to peak? Also when you get a peak reading is that the day you ov?

MistyBxx · 26/01/2017 23:29

One more thing... I'm starving 😩 today I have been hungry all day but didn't get to eat much during the day coz I was busy in work then had a big fat McDonald's this eve (so unhealthy I know) but I literally can't stop thinking about food! I was eating my chicken legend, on my last bite and a McDonalds advert came on and I went "mmmm I could eat those nuggets now" Hubs looked at me stupid. Now I'm sitting here really grumpy coz I want more food 😔 but at the same time, don't want to be a piggy haha.xx

MistyBxx · 26/01/2017 22:47

Hey girlies, hope you're all alright. Try and keep those beautiful chins up :)
I don't mean you've got double chins LOL I mean all of your respective chins!
So today I'm either 4dpo, 6dpo or 7dpo!
Whatever it is, I have nothing to report.
I did have a bit of crampy bubbly tum today but I think it was just wind 😂
And my boobies are ever so slightly tender but I'm still recovering from circuits on Tuesday and butt, thighs and arms are tender too!
So refusing to symptom spot this month 👊🏼

MrsC2017 · 26/01/2017 21:31

glitter I think so or else I think boots even have their own brand of something similar!
Aww Blue don't lose hope yet! AF and pregnancy symptoms are interchangeable
mrsg sorry about AF, welcome aboard, hoping this is a positive month for you!
bertie poor you, get some vit c to try nd head it off!
4dpo here..... Nothing to report

BluePheasant · 26/01/2017 20:45

Hi all, feeling rather down in the dumps today, definitely feels like my usual week of pms has started, so not feeling too hopeful now. Anyway just have to wait and see!

Hope your cold gets better soon Bertie

Glitterbubble · 26/01/2017 15:47

Another question... maybe a stupid one ...can you get pre seed/ conception plus etc at boots???

Thanks in advance Smile

BertieBotts · 26/01/2017 13:42

Yes this is all right about ovulation and DTD before if possible.

I've got a cold :( Should really muster up effort to DTD some more because I'm definitely in FW but it's only happened once so far.

Glitterbubble · 26/01/2017 11:44

Enjoying reading all your posts ladies Smile good to know we're all in the same boat!

First day of using CB digital opk this morning ...negative!!

The line on the strip is darker than it was two days ago though and Ovia predicts fertile window begins tomorrow ...so fingers crossed that positive peak is on its way !!

Charley2016 · 26/01/2017 10:57

Yeh I think that's about it misty. I normally try to dtd up to the day after I get the positive. Although I'm cycle 4 with not a hint yet so I might not be the best to advise Confused

Oh and MrsG welcome back! Sorry to see you both here again but fingers crossed for lots of February BFPs!

MrsG30 · 26/01/2017 10:52

Hi all,
