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

Retro....sorry you got a bfn, fx next time you poas you'll get a bfp

Mama.....sorry to hear you have the pesky spotting again!! How annoying. Hopefully the new pills will work and I'll look forward to hearing what you think of the reflexology. Is it soon that go away for your romantic weekend?

Well the 2ww is such a drag!! Guess I'll probably be crazily poas by the end of the week

I think I'm going to have to blame my dd for upsetting my cycles along with my stupid thyroid. She went to her dads on Friday. I randomly started spotting mid cycle yesterday and today. She's just come home and announced her periods started yesterday. Her first.

Aren't bodies funny! Feeling slightly over the hill now too she's mighty relieved though as "all" her friends had started.

Spinning yes this wkend so full flow needs to come and go this is my 5th day spotting arrrrggh! So annoying! Hoping for full flow tomorrow so it's cleared up by Friday! Reflexology is next Monday! Looking forward to it! Good luck for poas!!!! X

Thought I was in the 2ww but turns out I wasn't

now have ewcm and ov pains. We dtd this morning and will go again tomorrow night and take it from there :)

Arrrrgh! Driving myself crazy with a million and one symptoms. I promised this 2ww i would just forget about everything til at least 12dpo but no. Feel like testing at 5/6dpo...I am insane.

Argh! Google is not my friend. Now convinced my self it was just a chem pregnancy, but if it were, would I be bleeding now? No spotting or anything. Ffs. I'm way too impatient for all this!

Hi ladies, mind if I hop on the feb bus? I'm new to MN!

Stats are ttc #1 cycle #1 bfp due 23rd February approx. my cycles have been pretty irregular since coming off the pill in sept so never know exactly when due on!

DH is insisting on taking the relaxed approach (or as he calls it - winging it!). I am trying not to obsess but as you ladies understand it's pretty impossible hard at times! Not using opks or temping yet though!

Congrats to those with bfps & sorry to those who af got!

Ok... So i done a opk this morning at around 10am, and just done another now and its negative???? Fuuuck, what does this mean, have i ovulated and gone already! Last time we dtd was late thursday friday morning around 1am!! Shitttt panicking now

We all seem to have some sort of Sunday night mass hysteria! This tic malarkey is enough to unhinge the best of us!

toots good stuff, you're 2ww is on.

retro how many dpo are you? I had a chem preg in nov.

babytinks I'd be DTC for next few days anyway, takes a good while for the egg to move thru tubes so you can still catch it.

Ginger, I got my positive OPK on 20th Jan, so I'm 12/13 dpo. No idea about usual cycle length as my past three cycles have been 26, 50 and 18 days!

Just want it to be tomorrow so I can test with fmu...

When you had your chem pg, did you spot straight away?

It was a really weird cycle, I ov at day 15 which is really early for me, ( I can feel ov & was crazy emotional which isn't like me) then had spotting at day 18. I called drs as I've always had v long cycles, they advised to do a test (in case I was actually 5wks preg which I knew I wasn't due to positive opk). I had 3 positive tests (which shouldn't be possible 3 days after ov) then neg as spotting turned to v heavy period after a few days.

Dr said was a chem preg. Think I was getting positive tests from day 3 to 5 post ov

I apologise for my crap typing making my posts practically un-decipherable, bloody phone screen too small for this!

Thanks Ginger, I'll keep hoping. My cycle has been the most normal since I came off the pill . In fact, I've had no boob pain and very little pms rage this month, usually I got obvious boob pain about a week before AF.

Had a little localised cramping, which isn't familiar, feeling snotty and damp down below, and a stinking headache and tiredness on Thursday. Am hoping I just got an unusually sensitive IC. I'm not out till AF arrives!

Spoke to my mum today, we don't chat often though we get on very well, and just couldn't resist telling her it was a possibility. We now have a code-word I can text her at work when I know for sure! I think she's more excited than me if that's even possible.

You waiting till wed then? You have nerves of steel! It's sounding pretty good for you. As far as I know you can get false negs but not false positives.... I had gently cramps yesterday now very light pink discharge (tmi?) either af spotting or IB.... Plus my teeny boobs are def' bigger. But don't know what is normal as first month on comic. Arghhh!

Hoping you get to use that code word soon.. C

You waiting till wed then?

no way, I'll be testing in the morning yes, of course I'm waiting, I've been double dared to wait and I would never go back on a double dare.

Boobs have started to feel a bit tender this evening. Also I could be making it up.

Lol! I saw you'd accepted the challenge to wait, my DP is away a lot so if af stays away, will test tue. Plus got an interview tomorrow so that's enough excitement for 1 day.

Can I hop aboard?
TTC#1 Cycle 2 cd8 so bfp due 25th Feb.
Been off the pill since Sept but have been waiting for my cycle to even out.
Good luck everyone :)

Hi everyone, just wondering about these clearblue smiley opks - when do you start testing? Do you stop testing when you get a fixed smiley face?

I've had no joy with IC OPKs, I can never decide if theiy're positive or not and although I had borrowed a friends CBFM, I didn't like it or it didn't like my long cycles rather, so onto my next plan! But can't believe how expensive the clearblue smiley (not smelly as I just managed to write!) are!

Hi rhibee :) I've also been off pill since sept waiting for my cycle to even out, still doesn't seem to have happened though! It can be anything from 28-33 days for me. Got fed up and impatient so dh agreed we could start trying winging it lol

Hi pinkfairy, we've been winging it since Sept really, thought my cycle was sorted, had 3 cycles at 32 days then lastone was 26! Trying this cycle based on cm but might try opk next if i don't get a bfp! Two friends have just got bfp's both were "accidental" flipping annoying when I'm obsessing over cycle length and cm texture

Hi barmy

Clear blue opk - I've got a digital one. It tells you in the pack what day to start testing, depending on your cycle length. If you follow this link and go to point 1. 'Before testing' it shows you the chart.

uk.clearblue.com/clearblue-ovulation-test-range/clearblue-digital-ovulation-test-–-7-test-pack

If there is no LH surge you will see an empty circle and if there's a surge you get a smiley face so go for it! That day and the next are supposedly your most fertile.

Though my doc days to just DTD every other day all month. Who's got the time or energy for that?!

Good luck!

Ps they at expensive but if you follow that chart and you know how long your cycle is you won't use all the sticks in one cycle.

Hi missmrsmummy, I'm about to start using the CB Digital OPK as well, (not the one that has the flashing smileys as they aren't available here in oz, neither is the CB Fertility monitor either, not sure why as its quite annoying). In the link you sent it says its fine to use FMU for the CB OPK, but other OPK's I've looked at advise against that as can give a false positive, do you use FMU or wait until later in the day? Have you found it to be accurate? We dtd last night, cd9, will have a go again in a couple of days, am temping and also doing opk's, soon as I get a positive will pounce on DH each day for 3 days, my cycles have always been regular but have no idea when I ov and got it completly wrong last month, so this cycle I'm on a mega fact finding mission :)

Morning! Hi Zermatt- The CB digis do say go for FMU, whereas others don't. Stick to what CB Digi recommend. I used cheaper OPKs last month and was testing around 4pm everyday. Didn't get a positive result at all. Three days into using CB digis using FMU and I have a positive result!

Zermat, ditto what Kitty said. I'd follow the specific instructions. They obviously say to use fmu for a reason. Maybe because they're a more advanced testing system. Good luck
