Hi ladies, jumping on again Smile

Age 25 (tomorrow)
TTC #1
Cycle #4
CD 4

Will do OPK again this month and have bought some pre-seed too. I'm away in London next weekend Thursday-Sunday which is typically when ovulation will be due though so just going to have to try our best to get in both travel days and some extra before and after.

GN06 · 16/01/2017 07:39

Thanks mother I figured gloopy because sperm but was confused by the blood! Never thought I'd be asking that!!!!
CD8 and first day of OPK testing on the CBFM, and it read an error when testing, great!!! I seem to have lost the ability to pee on a stick.....

Hippychic79 · 16/01/2017 06:32

Welcome newbies :))
Yaaaay for finding cb opks in back of cupboard unicorns cuz those bad boys are expensive- make sure you check the expiry date ... I bought some cb pregnancy tests that were out of date once ... livid I was! Especially as they were so expensive!
I'm with you Harry - just need to get af out the way and I'll be dtd as much as possible this month - last month was a feeble effort for me due to oh and I having colds! Only dtd on cd 9 and haven't had sex since .... got some making up to do :))) fw or not :)))

Come on valentines babies xxx

harrypotternerd · 16/01/2017 01:52

I would love to tell DP I'm pregnant on valentines day. Trying to stay positive and just going to dtd as much as possible all month....it has to work sometime....

MotherofUnicorns · 15/01/2017 23:19

gn06 sounds like maybe just a bit left over from Af? And gloopy because of sperm?? So funny what we can say on here!!
Welcome everyone, hope there's some action soon!! Af gone for me now do I'm going to start dtd as much as poss. Also just found a CB digital ovulation stick set at the back of a cupboard so will start that tomorrow morning.....

No idea when AF due as don't seem to be very regular, could be anywhere in the first two weeks of Feb.

DC1 was a surprise baby so this is all new. Trying OPK for the first time this month and not sure if it's going to help or give me something else to worry about!

Hi girls,

Had something strange happen today. Apologies for TMI- feels weird telling it to a bunch of strangers rather than someone I know, but think between us all, we probably know more!! Went for a wee mid morning today and when I wiped, had gloopy/bloody CM, it wasn't bright red, slightly darker than that.
Period finished on Wednesday, and had sex last night (so may have been gloopy because of that!) anyone have any ideas on the blood though?
Thanks in advance x

OnNaturesCourse · 15/01/2017 20:22

ladies any idea why my ovulation tests continued to show a faint line each day which seems to be getting darker... but not like control ? CB confirmed ovulation 9/10th Jan

Hippychic79 · 15/01/2017 20:12

Welcome newbies :)))
Zen like calm sounds good .... this tTC lark can drive you nuts. Helpful tips welcome ;)

AF due: 9th Feb

Baby #1 was a happy surprise so I've not had to do the ttc thing before. It drive me slightly mad last month so I'll be aiming for zen-like calm this month!

Booboomoogooboo · 15/01/2017 18:49

And best of luck to all the passengers on the February bus!

Booboomoogooboo · 15/01/2017 18:48

Hi everyone, jumping on the bus and hoping there's a lucky seat at the back. Ttc #2, lost count of cycles now, definitely over 14 months though. Spotting today which for me is a sure sign of AF Angry so perhaps the Feb bus is going to be the lucky one for me. Gonna chuck everything at it this month, got some Conceive Plus so bring it on Wink

IamPoopyHead · 15/01/2017 17:20

Hello all! I'm going to stay in here, I think.
So, I'm 33, TTC#2, cycle 1 on CD17.
It took us over 2 years to conceive DD so I'm trying to remain patient and not become obsessive...let's see how long that lasts.
Good luck to everyone this cycle Smile

Hippychic79 · 15/01/2017 13:09

Thanks holly xxx PMA is the only way in my opinion... I've read a lot of self help books as I went through a horrible time a few years ago and I've learnt that thinking negatively causes negative things to happen ... i fully appreciate tTC is frustrating and sometimes it's good to vent ... but PMA feels better so I'm clinging onto it and hoping that like you I can hold out to test until Valentine's Day :)) possibly wishful thinking but we'll see how the month pans out xxx

HollyMay84 · 15/01/2017 12:10

Saying that... If they're getting darker an I in the fw already? Never used opks before. You would've thought after nearly 5 years ttc I'd know this already lol

HollyMay84 · 15/01/2017 12:09

Hi newbies! Smile

Hippy I'm loving the pma! I hope you're feeling better after your cold :)

A valentines surprise would be lovely wouldn't it? I don't think I could wait that long to test though lol

So my temps are settling down and the opks are on the turn so fx I'll be in the fw soon :)

Anna2006 · 15/01/2017 11:43

I need a seat too! AF turned up yesterday and is in full force today.

AF is next due on 9th Feb x

Dolwar · 15/01/2017 08:56

Wasn't site earlier but definitely on the February bus this time as bfn yesterday about 12 dpo. To be fair I think I was working nights during my FW so e probably just missed it. Must try harder next month!!

NordicNoirRocks · 15/01/2017 08:50

I'll join! I'm 37, TTC#3 (TTC#1 with DP) and I had the Mirena coil removed on 5th January. Using Ovia to track my cycle. AF due around 5th Feb.

AnyFarrahFowler · 15/01/2017 08:28

Telling DH that I'm pregnant on Valentines Day would be perfect. Fingers crossed for that, and for everyone on the bus!
We've decided if we don't conceive this month or next, that we're going to have a break for a couple of months. I'm trying to be very relaxed about the whole thing, but it's hard when you feel so ready and you're so looking forward to that BFP!

Hippychic79 · 15/01/2017 06:54

Welcome newbies :))

Well I am delighted as af has arrived one day early ... I was fully expecting her as I've been struck down with cold this past cycle and only managed to dtd on cd 9 and ovulated on cd 14! I am pleased she is early because it means I am officially now on this bus and definitely in with a better chance this cycle :)))
A small part of me hoped I would have conceived but I knew it was a long shot so I didn't waste my frer's :)))
Here's to some valentines baby's ...

So here's my stats
38 on Wednesday:)))
TTC #1
Cd 1
Cycle 3

anniebambammie · 15/01/2017 02:56

Jumping on Smile
TTC no 2, cycle 2, cd 2... Was convinced I was preg last month, was nauseous, veiny boobs, sore back. Exactly how I felt with first pregnancy.
Also had a bit of brown spotting for a couple of days before AF was due- but then AF arrived in its full glory. Has this happened to anyone else? I've never had spotting before AF before!

OnNaturesCourse · 14/01/2017 23:08

can I pull up a seat?

I'm 27
TTC #1
Last BC: Dec 16
Positive Ovulation: 9/10th January
AF due: 20th Jan

I've got some symptoms but unfortunately most can easily be written off to my first AF in 11 years. (tender, puffy boobs. bloating. discharge. cramps. tiredness) so I think I need a Feb Bus ticket.
