I'm using cheapy opks bought online.... will try them but think me and dh will dtd pretty much every night now until 3rd/4th feb just incase we miss it haha ...
this has to be our month, getting far too impatient now, couldnt go through all this stress again... Sad

barmybunting · 26/01/2014 14:42

mum2kiss I panicked when I arrived at aldi as they had moved it! But thankfully I found it again, and promptly bought four jars! Just in case they run out! DH saw me unpacking it and I told him I had bought it for him because he loves honey, but then realised I don't want him eating it all so I will have to ration it for him Smile .

Reflexology is free for the first trial session here, £32 for an hour after that. I don't know how often it's recommended really, going to give it a few gos in the hope it regulates my cycle then see where it goes from there.

missmrsmummy · 26/01/2014 14:49

Oh well, if nothing else, we will all be relaxed and have amazing immune systems! Grin

barmybunting · 26/01/2014 15:05

We will indeed be missmrs! That and I think my next career change plan is going to be doing a reflexology course and setting up a manuka bee keeping set up in the back garden Smile . I realise the latter would mean a move to New Zealand but it sounds like fun!

Juliettesmommy · 26/01/2014 15:32

Hello everyone - just checking in. I believe I'm the first on the list for my expected BFP date - as its actually right on the end of jan anyway, hope its ok I jumped on board here! I'm embarrassed to say I have already caved and poas this am even though I'm just 9dpo (I think, I have not been using opks or anything but I have a pretty regular cycle) and haven't had a singe pregnancy symptom, other than those my mind has been fabricating! Well of course it was negative, sigh. Must have some self control and wait a few more days!! This wait is so hard eh?

spinningirl10 · 26/01/2014 15:45

Well we've dtd twice today!!! CD 11 for me so hopefully ov tomorrow, must poas and see if I have a line yet!

spinningirl10 · 26/01/2014 15:48

Oh and I did a bit of UNDP when dp fell asleep!! Grin

SnowBells · 26/01/2014 16:10

After DTD yesterday, today again (is that too much information for a forum?). NUDP both times. I think DH is getting used to the NUDP thing. Didn't even bat an eyelid the second time round...

Penguinttc · 26/01/2014 16:30

I'm back, had a few days off to sort my head out after the chemical pregnancy. I only briefly came on this thread in the week, so here are my stats
Ttc no4 cycle 2 BFP due approx 19th (cycles vary)
Still heavily losing, but it's slowed abit, looking forward to Dtd!!! Roll on next weekend, the beginning of my fertile stage. :)

mama31 · 26/01/2014 16:55

Good work spinning!!!

Keep at it with the koala plan ladies! Hoping feb is the best bfp bus ever!!!

5dpo here and trying to keep a low profile....no doubt I'll be back in a few days full of complete insanity!!!

Treaclepie19 · 26/01/2014 17:08

Sounds like we're all at the NUDP! haha.

Will be DTD every day as got my flashing smiley yesterday (cd8), early just like AF was. Typical that as soon as we start trying to conceive my cycle changes! Still, glad I'm using my OPK.

Should be ovulating soon! Eeeeek.

Wineandchoccy · 26/01/2014 17:13

I've just been rudely kicked off the Jan bus by Aunt Flo Sad

So here we go again - Wineandchoccy: TTC #1, cycle 7, BFP due end of feb/start of March

Last few cycles have been 41 days but this one has only been 31 days.

ItsChristmaass · 26/01/2014 17:15

Thanks for the info mum2kiss. I'll deffo be trying that out. Getting to the point where I'll try anything. 2 more shots at clomid treatment anyway so hoping one lot works. If not it's ivf for us.

spinningirl10 · 26/01/2014 17:42

Got a line on my ic ov test so did a cb one as well and got a smiley faceGrin that's the 3rd month I've got my smiley face on cd11! Will be trying to dtd a couple more times over the next 2days!

Hi Mama, thought you'd gone quiet....5dpo already! Soon be time for crazy symptom spotting Grin

mama31 · 26/01/2014 18:13

Spinning I'm actually feeling pms symptoms already quite irritable!!! :( keep up the dtd!!! Hopefully you get a feb bfp!

northernlass81 · 26/01/2014 18:15

spinningirl10 · 26/01/2014 18:18

Oh no Mama.....fx for you. Have you thought about reflexology?Grin

babytinks89 · 26/01/2014 18:24

I've been reading the messages all day... But im still not understanding what this reflexology is? Please explain, i'm probably having a blonde moment they tend to be regular unlike my cycles lol!

missmrsmummy · 26/01/2014 18:49

Booo.... DH doesn't think we need reflexology or honey. I'm going to buy the honey anyway though Grin and am working on him to convince him I need reflexology for general relaxation as I'm stressed from work! My first argument: he just bought a PS4 for £425 and I only want to spend £25!

babytinks reflexology is basically a foot massage where they put pressure on certain parts of your feet which represent other parts of your body. Apparently it has helped people TTC. I think someone said your ankles represent your ovaries.

KittyVonCatsington · 26/01/2014 19:01

WineandChoccy and northernlass - welcome aboard! This bus involves Valentines Day so lots of love around!

mama31 · 26/01/2014 19:11

Yes spinning I will probably try reflexology this month some time close to next ovulation! If af arrives I get another shot at feb bus at the very back as cycles are quite short!

missmrsmummy · 26/01/2014 19:16

Good point Kitty! My AF is due on 12th but I could try and wait until 14th (if no AF of course...) to get a BFP! Or do it on 12th because the number 2 has always been significant for my family!

....or I'll just get my period and not have to decide when to POAS lol this is what's happened the last 2 cycles!

sherbertlemon17 · 26/01/2014 19:20

Ah jullietsmommy, I'm currently 8dpo.

I've been trying not too but I've been symptom spotting like crazy! Thing is I've not long come off the pill, so I don't know if they are pregnancy symptoms or generally crazy hormones!

I bought some ICs ready for next weekend. FX AF stays away!

Good luck NUDP pedalling everyone! Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 26/01/2014 19:45

You could POAS on the 12th, missmrs and tell DH on the 14th if it's a BFP! Best of both Grin

toots123 · 26/01/2014 19:55

Lets make a valentines day poas party!! :)

My cycles are a bit mad so may have af by then but if not I'll def be poas!!!

I think I ov'd Wednesday/Thursday but only dtd on Wednesday and Friday (in case ov was a bit late) so not holding out much hope.

We've had a lazy day today and keep talking babies. Dh said to me "if you get pregnant I would be a very happy man" made my heart melt! :) so we are very much excited about this happening soon!
