Hi everyone my AF appeared on 3rd December, so got kicked off the December bus pretty early! But couldn't see a January bus yet!! My stats are TTC #2 cycle 5 Sad BFP due 8th Jan.

Thanks for the tips! I'll go and have a nose around...

bellaboo88 · 03/01/2014 20:57

I got 15ic from Amazon 10miu?! For about £2.60. Discreet packaging too.

Well, I'm either getting AF or spotting but either way I'm just happy my body's doing something. Getting period cramps but (TMI alert!!) Upon closer inspection, brown spotting but wet like mixed with cm, investigated further & finger was just wet, no colour...next few hours will tell!

I think its AF tho so that gives me a 27day first post pill cycle :) means I can try whilst on first real cycle in new York! & I stay on the bus x

Flukewoman · 03/01/2014 21:10

bella my first DC was conceived on a trip to NY :D

bellaboo88 · 03/01/2014 21:25

Lol fluke, I keep telling the fella if we do in NY, its gunna b called Brooklyn or similar lol!! I hope it will be a good distraction, having pregnancy book/poa IC's to hand is too stressful! x

Sparrowlegs248 · 03/01/2014 21:39

Evening all. I haven't contributed to this bus really. But think.i'm off it. AF due today. Had a piercing cramp lunchtime yesterday, then went to loo to had the sudden arrival of af. Saying that, nothing since that one.....small 'gush' but i can't imagine it was implantation. So likely to be onto C8 and the feb bus
:-( good luck all.

Sparrowlegs248 · 03/01/2014 21:43

Ooh! Actually, just realised that with my short cycles, i get another go at January....

Could someone please amend my details?

Nottalotta ttc #1 C8 bfp 28th jan. :-)

wondercat07 · 03/01/2014 22:05

Hmm, feeling bit nauseous and lightheaded on and off last few days. Getting tempted..

BexWex · 03/01/2014 22:17

Add me please :)

BexWex TTC #1 C1

Supposed to be ovulating about now, no rise in my BBT just yet but had a dip, maybe the dip before the rise? so fingers crossed!

AF due 19th

Lovecuppy · 03/01/2014 22:36

Hey ladies. Remember reading something about venos cough medicine increasing the amount of ewcm you produce. Does anyone know when you start taking it? don't produce much ewcm (sorry if tmi!) and hoping this might help :-)

Choccywoccydodah · 03/01/2014 22:45

well worth a read

Kittyrose1 · 03/01/2014 23:23

Thanks for sharing that choccy, I'm sure lots can relate to this and I hope we all get our chocolate cake soon..

Lovecuppy I started taking the cough medicine about 2 days after my period. In definitely increased the cm but I still haven't has ewcm - there was one day where there was something like it but it was the morning after dh and I had dtd so I'm not sure if it was his!

I'm now entering 2ww, dh and I have dtd cd 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18 so far - fx ....

MrsKoala · 03/01/2014 23:30

Hi All. Having a nightmare of a few days so can't log in and spend much time on MN. Also no time or inclination to shag - DH and are are bickering about money :(

Anyway, just thought i'd pop on to let you know on what i think worked for us last time. We were trying for 8 months then one month we did these things and bingo! 1. conceive plus lube. 2. Manuka honey (2-3tsps each a day - not heated tho). 3. making sure i orgasmed after DH. 4. upside down bicycle legs for a few mins after, then laying with a pillow under my arse for at least 30 mins. No idea if any one of these things worked but we got preggers the first months we did them all.

Good luck. :)

JustMarriedBecca · 03/01/2014 23:47

It's my first 2ww and am manically symptom spotting. I was a bit obsessed with the one step ovulation strips and think we DTD at the right time. Since I think (fingers crossed) we ovulated, I've had really bad constant cramp, felt really hungry and also had a strange metallic taste in my mouth. Probably wishful thinking but what else should I be looking out for as signs?

Roll on 15th January.

Gingerpanther27 · 03/01/2014 23:58

Loving the hair munday Still in limbo land here.

Hopemummi · 04/01/2014 00:38

Mrs Koala you made me laugh! Have an image of me trying to explain why I fell off the bed doing the bicycle to a&e staff! Still if it helps!

I'm on day 31 no sign of the witch but dare I say a bit crampy, going to test after the weekend if still going.

wondercat07 · 04/01/2014 08:00

Oh dear - 12 dpo and poas today with bfn. Looks bad for this month! Sad

EnglishGirlAbroad · 04/01/2014 08:08

Thanks for that link Choccy, what a sweet and oh so relevant story. Hoping we all get our chocolate cake soon

Sleepingstarsmommy · 04/01/2014 08:15

Morning ladies.

Started using my opks yesterday and have got a flashing smiley face this morning. Let the dtdathon commence. Think the flashing smiley means high fertility not peak fertility so don't think ov will happen until Monday or Tuesday when I'll be working 12.5 hour shifts. Hope I'll be able to summon the energy!!

bellaboo88 · 04/01/2014 08:18

AF this morning (I think, its red & only when I wiped) so, keep my stats the same, practice over!! So....if I got AF on cd27, 12dpo does that mean my of estimation was out of sync or short lf??

Will monitor cm more this time x

Wineandchoccy · 04/01/2014 08:28

Cd9 today last couple of cycles have been 41 days but have had 2 at 29 days so not really sure when AF/BFP is due.

Started dtd yesterday after a long and horrible AF going for the eod method, I haven't bought any opks this month because I got a bit disheartened when it said negative yet DH wanted to dtd so trying to relax and forget where I am in my cycle and have fun instead of concentrating on whether it's the right time or not.

Choccywoccydodah · 04/01/2014 08:29

Bella, so sorry af is potentially here, a 27 day cycle is about normal. Did you test for ov so you know exactly when you ov'd?

Wineandchoccy · 04/01/2014 08:29

Just read that link choccy and it made me cry Blush

Choccywoccydodah · 04/01/2014 08:31

Wineandchoccy cross post. Did you monitor ov on your long cycle months? What days did you ov? Have you thought about taking b6? It helped me with my short LP, but it can also make ov earlier so I would assume a shorter month.

Choccywoccydodah · 04/01/2014 08:32

Awwwww w&c Smile

Wineandchoccy · 04/01/2014 08:47

I had a positive on day 28 but then day 29 it was negative. Will look into b6, thanks.

Came off microgynon on 14th June and cycles have been between 28 days and 41days. I naively thought your body came back to normal after stopping the pill, how wrong was I Sad

I am trying to relax this month but It's really hard when it's the only thing you can think about.
