Is there a January bus yet?!!

[Kt1991]

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 BFP due 8th Jan.

Morning ladies,
Congrats kitkat, think u need to make your profile public for us to see your photo!

I've just done my hpt after my chem last week, was negative so now i can crack on with this cycle. Even though i knew i was losing the pregnancy it was still utterly crap to see the words 'niet zwanger' - (i'm in holland). On another note dh and i find the word zwanger hilarious!!
Onwards and upwards!

The line is there but still faint. Not as faint as 2 days ago.

I'm kicking myself I throw away the fmu I thought I had got a bfn and throw it away. As I was washing my hands the line came up.

I tried to upload a photo but I'm only on my phone

Thanks everyone for the congrats - I think my profile is now public so should work now! Have been a trance since getting up this morning!

Sorry for all the people getting BFNs / AF. It sucks I know. Wishing you all luck in February though!

Rockin20s maybe try again tomorrow with a digi? x

Hi All,

It's good to see a few BFPs on here, it's quite reassuring to know all this stress might be worth it in the end.

This is me TTC #1 cycle #1 with BFP due on 19 January

I need some advice and opinions, I may or may not have ovulated yesterday, I had a few signs but the ovulation text came out negative. I have been obsessing a bit and doing tests twice a day. Yesterday morning the line was there but not as dark as the control line, which the instructions say is a negative. I redid the test later in the day thinking maybe it would be positive but the line was very faint again like it has been the last few days.

We did the deed but now I am worried about whether I ovulated and now if I didn't that I may have trouble conceiving. I'm obsessing about the whole thing.

I used the boots own brand ovulation tests this month but ordered some cheapies on the internet yesterday, I am thinking I need the expensive digital smiley face as worrying like this about whether I'm reading the test correctly really isn't helping things.

I'm trying to arrange some dog walking for today, just to take my mind off things as I don't work on Mondays.

Please say reassuring things.

kitkat mine looks like yours
Ill buy a digi today
I'm in shock

Hi MrsNeils, please dont start worrying yet. It's still very early days for you. I use the clear blue digital opks as like you i just like a simple answer. I have ordered some cheapies of amazon so i'll see how i get on. I'm on cycle 4 now so have a rough idea of when i ovulate anyway.
Have you downloaded any apps to help you monitor things? Fertility Friend is quite good.
Good luck, try to enjoy all the dtd. It will happen for you.

Hi rockin20s. Someone has told me before that the lines on ICs are normally a bit faint (compared to branded tests) but that faint lines are still a line. Was still a shock when I saw it confirmed on digi though. Would definitely recommend you try a digi later. Then we can be due-date buddies!

Argh forgot to poas when a delivery came and then just used the downstairs loo... It's still 2 d early I think but I've kind of lost hope for this month , I swear I've normally gotten early results :(. Was feeling very sad and tearful yesterday I guess it's all the previous years pain of trying and then disappointment with constant misscarriages coming back now , I must be crazy why can't I just be happy with what I've got and move on ! But I have this feeling like we're not done and I can't help it . Starting to want it even more now too that I feel it's not going to happen without major interventions and DH is not necessarily agreeing to go that far. Am deprassed

Congrats to all with new BFPs !
I guess I have a chance too until AF but think it'll be on from wed like clockwork again.

MrsNel.....I have used boots opk's, I usually get no line at all and then as ov is approaching I get a faint line which gets darker when you ov. I don't know if this is the same for everyone. Keep using them and you'll soon see how they work for you. Good luck

Congratulations Rockin

Mama.....good to see you but sorry it looks like af is coming

Thanks everyone, I feel a bit better.

Congratulations on all the bfps!!
Told you so Cherie!!!

Can't remember who asked, but yes there is such a thing as ovulation bleeding. I don't think it's that common but I've read about it on my many dr google sessions!

God I feel good, I've just done my tax return, what a load off!! Bubs at nursery til 1pm, dh has nipped out, so it's a nice loooooong not shower for me

So, am due to test at the end of the week. I'm feeling so nervous now. Again, I've gone off chocolate, which after Saturday I couldn't stop stuffing my face with the stuff (literally) and yesterday and today, nothing is odd! This happened the last 2 months when I caught, and when I was pg with ds. Not getting my hopes up, but it does get you thinking! 8dpo today.

Congrats Kitkat and all the bfps, I'm on 7DPO I think and symptom spotting like mad. I've had some mild cramps, creamy / yellow cm and a bit gassy with constipation. Could all just be something and nothing though - the body does like to play tricks! DoctorDonnaNoble I really sympathise with you, I mc'ed in late October and on my 2nd cycle since now, just hard to keep distracted. Hoping lots more of us get our bfps x

Oh by the way and this could be absolute tosh but I read something interesting last night. Your heart rate goes up in early pregnancy due to more blood being supplied to the uterus - so if you know your normal resting heart rate it may be fun to see if yours is elevated. Mine was 84bpm so higher than usual - can you tell I'm utterly impatient to be able to poas?! My acupuncturist always takes my pulse and said that higher progesterone in early gets it pumping faster too. Not sure about the science in this but all a bit of fun in the crappy tww

Used my Tesco test in my smu and its also positive. Faint but positive
Can't wait to buy the digi

Congrats Rockin

Sounding good rockin20s. I (somewhat madly) still refused to believe the 2 tests I'd already taken today so nipped to Superdrug (thank God I don't have to work until this afternoon) and bought an CB digi. Again, said pregnant 1-2 so guess I'll have to believe it now! Really struggling to accept this as have had problems with periods for years and endocrinologist told me I might not be able to get pregnant naturally, so to get a BFP on only cycle 2 has gobsmacked me.

Great news Rockin!!! :)

Thanks spinning! How are you doing?? I'm so fed up already! Hate waiting on full flow just gets me a bit down! but will perk up again soon I'm sure! Just need af to come and go so we can get cracking again!

Positive to see a few bfp's rolling in together! Keep them coming :)

Congrats rocking!!!!!

Hugs mama xx

Kitkat that's fantastic!!! Congrats to you xx

Hello Choccy! Hope your feeling ok about things! Good luck for testing end of the week!! Hope you get your sticky wee one this time. Good sign being off the chocs ;)

Cross post choccy ;) thanks for the hugs and to you my lovely x

Mrsnelis, is the your first month after bc or have you not been on bc?
If you have, it can take your body a few weeks to readjust itself to being off bc so please don't worry at this early stage.
What cd have you been testing from? And what times?
You may have ov'd earlier than when you started testing, but your cycle could be a longer one and you may have just not ov'd yet. Hth.

Thanks mama . Are you going to take b6 next cycle? Has your dh been tested for his swimmers? Just a thought, sorry to pry!

Hey choccy! I was taking b6 for a few months but didn't notice much of a difference so not going to bother with it. GP said spotting isn't an issue and to count first day full flow as cd1 which would give me an ok LP too! DH is planning on getting swimmers tested soon, was always the plan for the New Year if no progress so I'm sure he will get the courage up to arrange the appointment soon enough! Bless him!
