Ding Ding! The February Bus is departing...C'mon Cupid, please deliver some BFPs

[BridgetandtheHairyBrigands]

Hello all, I've been hanging around hoping to catch the February bus but it hasn't appeared....So I've decided to get this passion wagon on the road...Anyone else want to get on board?

Bridget&theHairyBrigands ttc#2 BFP due 1st February

Let's hope the month of luuurvve is lucky for us all...

[2cats222]

Hi all, I'm lurking suspiciously by the bus stop hoping I won't need to jump on in the next 3 days... However IF AF turns up as expected v soon then I bring Jaffa cakes and would love to join you all in hoping for a Feb BFP FX
TTC#1 BFP due 19th Jan/23rd Feb

[MotherOfCleo]

Hum, so I just did another OPK and it's positive again, is it usual to have a positive OPK two days running?

[Katnisscupcake]

Hi there,

Can I join please? Expecting CD1 any day now. I really really thought I was PG this month so feeling a little low... DPO13 today, HPT this morning BFN plus temps not high enough to be PG. Weird though that since my MC in July (likely ectopic so a whole new world of worry!), that I've had browny/red CM each cycle from about DPO9. Nothing this month so really thought that I was PG.

But apparently not... (or so I'm hoping because with the ectopic I got my BFP AFTER my AF???!!! but not before it... Very odd...

So, at the moment I'm DPO13 and waiting for AF to show up so I can move on to the next cycle. DD will be 4 in June and I will be 39 so really hoping it happens soon!!

Hi - can I join you - af arrived today 2 days early so didn't even get to poas

OveranxiousUnderated - looks like we are poas buddies!

navis176 - TTC #1 cycle 4 post mmc BFP due 14 Feb

[navis176]

mother - I think it is possible to have positive opk two days running as the length of the lh surge varies from person to person

katniss - don't give up hope yet - it's not over until af arrives fx

[MotherOfCleo]

Hi ladies, ohh katniss is that from the hunger games? those books are amazing!

It definitely isnt over until you can see the warts on the witches nose so stay positive and i'll keep everything crossed for you and me

[lyndsey90]

No 2ww symptoms yet for me except I've had next to no anxiety for a while! I'm 9dpo (if I even ovulated :/)

[MotherOfCleo]

FX lyndsey great news re the anxiety or lack of....long may it continue!

[JellyBeanDavey]

Hello

Finally found this bus! It obviously zoomed past me at such a speed.

I'm cycle 4, CD2 and due 16th? maybe depends whether AF will behave herself

[chocoloulou33]

Goodnight ladies, its getting v busy on this bus lovely. We'll have to do an updated list 2moro :)

[Ariel21]

AF finally arrived, so am looking forward to DTD as much as humanely possible in about 5 days time! Whoop whoop! Is anyone else using the lady timer app, and is it any good?

[hawkmcqueen]

Hi everyone, Lyndsey can I join you on the 2ww? I won't be doing any symptom spotting but did have a dream the other night, where I basically dreamt that I was pregnant with a boy called Kit/Christopher - does that count as a symptom?! So here we go you long 2 weeks. Now that I had that dream I think this time I will get upset if a) I am not pregnant b) I mc... AGAIN

Can I ask you lovelies to help me out too? I don't know what some of the acronyms are:
DPO
CD
OPK
I do get: TTC, DTD, AF, 2WW, BFP, BFN

TTFN!

[MotherOfCleo]

Hi hawk I think I am OVing today so will be joining you guys on the 2ww. I have really sore nips and backache today, random as I only got a positive OPK on Tuesday.....didn't know they could be OV signs....random.

DPO - days past ovulation
CD - cycle day
OPK - ovulation predictor kit

Hope that helps

[Katnisscupcake]

Hi all,

Well, I am a little worried...

So, on DPO14 today (following +OPK and then -OPK the following day). Browny coloured CM started last night. So should expect AF today, but still not properly here. BFN yesterday and fairly low-ish temp (36.54 which is low for me compared to my last temps when PG).

Boobs very sore (not normally this sore before/during AF), no real cramping just lots of unusual twinges, occasional nausea.

BUT I am really really scared that this could be another ectopic. This is what happened last time:

• DPO12 - BFN and browny CM so didn't bother taking anymore tests.
  
• DPO14 - AF arrived as normal, but slightly more painful
  
• CD5 - AF pretty much gone but still some pain so randomly took a test - very strong and very quick BFP!!!
  
• CD6 - started spotting again so went to the GP. Over the next week or so HCG levels rising then falling and then rising again.
  
• Went to EPU who did an internal scan and couldn't see anything so even though they could never confirm it, they felt that it was likely to be ectopic. Luckily resolved itself through MC and after two weeks HCG levels were back to below 20.
  

But because of all this there is (if it was ectopic) a big risk of another. So now, with every month that's a bit odd, I panic.

So since that MC in July, spotting has started around DPO8-10 with AF turning up on DPO14 as expected. This month, loads of (what I thought were) PG symptoms and no spotting at all. Convinced I was PG so yesterday when I got BFN and fairly low temp.

But why no normal spotting until today and still no real pains, just lots of twinges???

So weirdly, hoping AF turns up normally and quickly so I can stop worrying about Ectopic. May take another HPT tomorrow if AF doesn't turn up.

They said that they will scan me in future as soon as I get a BFP, but I don't want an internal scan. Because whenever I've had one, has ended in MC, so I'm almost a bit fearful of them now. So would rather wait until past 6 weeks before I go and have a scan.

Sorry it's so long but I am a bit worried and confused... ...

[lyndsey90]

Yes ya can join me!! I'm not symptom spotting so the 2ww is going fairly quickly, and I'm at work everyday till Wednesday so that takes my mind off it too :)
I've just taken up drawing again and I'm off to town to buy a little canvas to paint baby daisy duck!!! Eep!! It's too cute xx

[padster75]

navis gutted you've found your way here



Just a quickie today, got 1001 things to keep me out of mischief, so you're safe for a wee while!!

[BridgetandtheHairyBrigands]

Hi, only a quick post (I'm in the middle of cooking tea) but I just wanted to give Kat's hand a quick squeeze.

Try not to worry... strange thing to say but... I hope AF has properly started now and you know what is happening.

I'll try to post properly later..

[MotherOfCleo]

Kat my mate is a doctor and one month when I was getting odd pains but thought I was PG I asked her about ectopics and she said to me that they usually produce more HCG so you should pick it up earlier not later.....now she's not a gyno but that is what she told me. Try not to worry too much, I had a lot of brown spotting this month, 2 damn days of it, then AF arrived. Hope the witch either flies in or you get your BFP and bubs is nestled in the right spot! {hugs}

[lyndsey90]

Still moaping on the Jan bus, this journey is starting to draaag. Roll on 21st!!

Hope all you ladies are well :)

[Katnisscupcake]

Evening ladies,

Just jumping on to say that the witch has flown right in now so at least i can say CD1!!

Mother, thank you so much, that does actually make me feel a lot better!

My pregnancies will always be tough and i will bore you with details when i am not trying to type on my phone!!!

Hope everyone else is ok.

[Katnisscupcake]

Bridget, thank you for the hand squeeze!

[BridgetandtheHairyBrigands]

Glad you can breathe easy now Katniss . I hope the old witch isn't too mean this month and she goes easy on the cramps and flies away quickly.

I was planning to update the thread list now but can't seem to find a way to cut and paste from the screen on an iPad. My poor laptop might be an old rust bucket with a dodgy battery and a flickering screen but it still does some stuff better!

[omama]

Hi ladies hope everyone is ok.

Cd16 here, not ovd yet but expecting anytime & dh is ill during the vital week for the 2nd month running so weve barely dtd -gah bloody manflu!

[BridgetandtheHairyBrigands]

Morning all.

omama I feel your pain. Not much sex with intent happening here either. Mr Hairy has - bloody typically - had heaps on at work over the most crucial days this month.

Just keeping my fingers crossed his swimmers are super long-lifers...

[navis176]

Mother - I love the Hunger Games books too [channels inner teenager]

Kat - I'm glad you know where you stand now - lets hope this Feb bus is a lucky one fx

[waves at Padster]

Choc - I think I might try following the Sperm Meets Egg Plan this month - I like a good plan Though I think it is more just a common sense plan than based on any medical fact - oh well!! I've tried dtd every other day all month and dtd every day for fertile week and those approaches didn't work so might as well try something else!
