All ttc or expecting their BFPs welcome. Fingers crossed for a fantastically fertile February!

[MrsF2510]

For those who have jumped off the January bus. May need assistance for the wonderfully organised ladies who are so brilliant at keeping the stats up to date!

So to start the engine MrsF2510 ttc #1 cycle 2 BFP due 1st Feb x

I have Year 9 parents' evening next week - obviously the time of the year for it!

Welcome to the recent fellow passengers! Echoing snowbells requests for more and different tips (other than Koala plan).

I personally have really tried to eat healthily - kept googling foods to aid conception and keep trying to eat the ones that come up the most - salmon, broccoli. After DTD, I tilt (and if and when DH leaves the room, I have pedalled a little bit!!) I have tried to drink plenty of water too.

My worry is that DH loves hot baths so am worried that may be an issue (though we are only cycle 2 ATM). Trying to keep him away from that may be tough!!!

Neither me nor DH husband smoke nor drink heavily though over the Christmas period, it was hard not to have a few small drinks without it going unnoticed! But have abstained completely this cycle!

Hi everyone can I join?
Got beginnings of af this morning so hopping over here. Hoping 14 is the lucky one..

Ttc #2, cycle 14, bfp due 20th.

Kitty - being at school reminds me that children are everywhere so it can't be that hard to conceive! And most of them have siblings.

Hope parents' evening goes ok! Sorry about your AF :-(

Hi all, looks like AF has started this morning, helpfully an hour after having poas, what a waste, so I am off the January bus.

Here are my stats

TTC #2, cycle 2, due 19th Feb.

Fingers crossed for lots of bfps.

Kitty, good luck with parents evening. I used to teach pre DS so remember well how intense parents evening can be.

MrsF, I am going to do the same drink wise. I have also restarted on pregnacare. I was just taking folic acid and some b vitamins up to now but want to make sure I give this one the same chance I did with my first.

Hoping this month will be a bit less stressful too, we are in the midst of selling our house and buying another. Exchange is taking forever! The car broke down too so was all a bit much last month! I am sure none of that has helped ttc.

So my phone app told me I ov'd last saturday...I had no cm at all since my last af...then I get some ewcm this morning! !! Does this mean I probably didnt ov last sat and am about to ov now?!!! Im confused!!

What does the phone app base ovulation date on? It does sound more like you are about to ovulate soon rather than it has already happened.

Haha Mama, love that your dh is so enthusiastic with the udnp!!!

I don't think the apps are too reliable for telling you when you ov, unless you have been using for a few months and entering all data! FF seems to be the best for this! Since using ov sticks I realised I ov 4 days earlier than my app said!!

Well I should ov on sun/mon, not going to tell dp as he has performance issues on demand!!! So just hoping for best really but already feeling a bit anxious about it!!!

The app puts ov date on cd14 for me as I have a 27 day cycle...

I must say its only a small amount of ewcm but its the first cm I've seen this cycle

I must say its only a small amount of ewcm but its the first cm I've seen this cycle

mum2kiss I would go with what your body is telling you rather than your app. My cm can vary each cycle, but then so do the amount of days in my cycle 30-37. SO get busy tonite

Please can I join ladies?

TTC #2, cycle 7. Currently on Day 29

In case I've forgotten to put my stats up
Nordicmom ttc 3 cycle 3 BFP 3.2.
Ov was a bit later than expected so have modified my BFP date. Will try to not start testing too early but doubt that I'll last that long ... I'm trying to figure out how many months we'll keep on trying like this if I won't get a positive since have had multiple misscarriages before years ago but always conceived easily . After DS none of my 10 preg lasted and then we had dd (21 m) through IVF and gestational surrogacy . I don't think I can try for 12 m before going to doctors again since if no developments I think my fertility has significantly degreesed. I'll be 39 in the summer and a few years ago I think when I was 34 my hormone levels and egg count were already much lower than averages for my age. Ofcourse I'd rather not do the IVF again let alone the inetrnational surrogacy that took us 3y and cost an arm and a leg so this is incredibly difficult issue for us and I kind of wish I could have just been happy with two kids and moved on but I feel like I'd really like one more person in our family . I must be crazy doing this to myself . Also I do have a chronic illness now due the steroids I was given for misscarriages so would not be a easy pregnancy . So sorry if I come agross negative on this thread! Need to moan sometimes...

It's ok to moan on here nordicmom - and you've had a rough time so you've got to let it all out somewhere. I wouldn't wait for 12m if you don't want to - go with what you feel you should do.

And sorry to those who wanted other tips, but I'm following plan Koala this month, and sorry if TMI, but I think the manuka honey, though disgusting has really increased my EWCM - unless it's the cycling that's doing it somehow.. On pregnacare too but have been on that for a few months with no discernible differences

Btw - I forgot to share... or let's say I was confused as to how you term it. We've stopped using contraception well over a year ago (18 months?). We had a really laissez-faire attitude to all of this. But really seriously started ttc (i.e. CB monitor, timing, frequency, etc.) about 3 months ago.

So I'll choose to say 'cycle 3' as seeing 'cycle 18' on the board would completely mess up our stats...

I have a very long cycle - so hoping for BFP latest 25 February...

Hi Spinning, I don't find the app reliable for ov either - mine is always 4 days later than it predicts!

Managed to dtd last night so will try for tomorrow too! Haha. No idea if im ov or not so may as well dtd as much as we can.

feeling sorry for myself today. A few 12wk scan pictures on fb and a friend told me they are trying to conceive now too (she is the only person who knows that we are)
I have no reason not to be happy for others, just being impatient and want us to get our bfp!

Evening Ladies!

Have "come to terms" with the arrival of AF . Has anyone else though, not bought any more tampons in the hope that they won't be needed? Had to make a de-tour to the pharmacy on the way home.

Think I have stupidly bought the wrong pregnacare vitamins, though. I've both the original and realise from inside the packet that they do special conception ones. Should I go back to the pharmacy?

You have been through a lot, Nordicmom- I can't imagine what you have been through. Talk to us anytime it's horrible when our bodies don't play ball!

Hey there imaginary. I'm great thanks - new lease of life, dining out on sazzle's news! Nice to be back!

Hiii ladies!!

I'm joining the Feb bus too!
period just finished, BFP would be due 16/17th Feb!! Ov expected 2nd feb as per 28day cycle..... I have the ovulation tests, are these good??? Iv never tried them!! TTC #3 first was a MC in november last year, jan missed ovulation day :(
So here i am again!! I so want/need to conceive this month/feb, i'm getting too impatient now

Thanks for the support girlies :)! I'm only on day 4 but thinking about it already . I'll probably rest end of next week a bit early

Test that is

Hello,

Having currently decided with DH that we're now ready to try for #2, I'm currently at bus stop waiting for AF which is due anyday and planning to get to work thereafter!

Was v. lucky falling on my first cycle with DC1 - that was completely unexpected....am pretty sure it'll take a little longer this time.

Looking forward to boarding soon and gingers crossed for you all!

Fingers I mean!!! Seems like I'm trying to make up new cockney rhyming slang :)
