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

Mwahahaha i can just imagine hubbys face if i whipped out a jar of manuka lol.

sounds intriguing though - might have to give it a go next month!

Well I'm hoping that it works for me this cycle!!! Good to try something new! :)

mama I've now got a picture in my head of you slathering on manuka honey and cycling your legs in the air.

Hahaha!!! no I actually haven't got the honey for this cycle so no risk of that just yet! Haha! Going to try the O after DH and the cycling though....trying it out on sat and DH has not been pre warned re the naked cycling...going to take him by surprise....priceless hahaha!!!!

Hello can I get on the Feb bus too? Also kicked off Jan bus after rude arrival 6 days early of AF. Although I have been wondering if it was a very early MC as it was different this time.

Anyway, TTC #1, cycle 6, BFP due 10 Feb if my cycle hasn't now gone crazy. And also going to put plan Koala into action. Thanks for reminding me about the manuka honey mama31 - had forgotten that bit although oh my god it's expensive

Does anyone know if you have to limit caffeine all the time or just at particular times? I like to have a very immoderate amount of green tea.

Right - finally had a visit from AF, so if this cycle is the same length, bfp is due 27th Feb! I'm right at the back of the bus

Mama!!! Haha love the idea of you starting a separate craze where ladies desperate to get a bfp will smear themselves in overpriced honey before dtd whilst trying to cycle. Amazing!

Rossby - cutting down is better, but don't cut it out if it is something you enjoy. This link explains it well green tea has other benefits too, so of all the caffine things to have it is probably not too bad.

Just popped in from the jan bus to see how everyone is! I'm holding out as best i can and resist the poas temptation! cd 23 and finding it difficult not to think about it!

Your all so good giving up caffeine...i couldnt survive without tea in the morning!
Wondering if yous can help me to understand this....i didnt expect to ovulate till middle of next week...but on Wednesday i had some ewcm and thought maybe something was going to happen early. We DTD on wednesday night but now i havent had any more ewcm at all. Usually I have it for a few days...or at least i think I do? So do we continue to DTD every second night till end of next week....(not sure we can mabage that!) or do we wait and see if i get more ewcm when im supposed too and start DTD every second day then? Im not sure if ive ovulated or not.

Its so typical that my cycle goes weird the first month we decide to start trying again.

Hi ladies. I'm officially hopping on the Feb bus! Ttc#2 cycle 2 BFP due 14th Feb. Here's hoping I get me and DH a very special valentine's present.

I've just switched from coffee to green tea. Just having the one cup of coffee a day now. Also started on the cough syrup! And planning on the upside down cycling this month! Full craziness back in session next week!

Sazzle....to be honest....if someone told me to smear myself with manuka and that it would get me a bfp....pretty certain I'd do it....certain you would too!!! hahaha!!!! DH's may think it's gone a bit too far though lol

Moan alert...yet another work baby brought onto the office. Normal comments of "does it make you want one?" oooooooh if only they knew. I want to scream!

Let me know if I've missed anyone or got any of the stats wrong

It's never too late to join! Even if you just wana lurk until you get your BFP! We like lots of BFPs

Pebble I know it's quite annoying seeing other people's babies when you want one so much yourself!!! I don't feel angry or annoyed....but sometimes I do feel like kidnapping the babies....lol...im kidding! but I do def get a stomach churn that I have no control over when I see new babies....but our time will come! I'm sure of it :)

Thanks thora for stats update :)

Well had a glob of ewcm yesterday and more this morning, but can't start koala plan til tomorrow due to DH shifts, not too concerned about that as opks all negative so far and only cd10 tomorrow so plenty time next few days to dtd! Dreading the 2ww and I'm not even at ovulation yet!!! Wish I could sleep for 2 wks and be woken with a bfp at the end of 2ww.....how nice would that be?!!!!

Thank you for adding me to the stats list :)

I know how uncomfortable it makes me feel when new babies are brought into the office. It physically hurts, well, it's definitely real pain :(

When I had dc3 I didn't want to take him in as I knew at least 2 ladies that were ttc, one of them through ivf! When I did take him in (after numerous requests) I waited in reception so whoever wanted to come see was welcome to, and whoever found it too uncomfortable could stay away if they wanted.
It worked fine until my old manager grabbed my baby and swanned off into the office parading him around!!

Some people don't think!!! Good news is though that those 2 ladies both conceived and the ivf lady had identical twin girls!! The other lady had a lovely baby boy.

Anyway... Rant over! As you were :)

Mama - I'm with on the sleeping through the 2ww.

Wish I knew when my 2ww was lol, I've absolutely no idea! Gonna give it until April for my cycle to come back and then go to docs/nurse. It will have been 12 months since my last depo shot then.

Mama - the 2ww sleep. Now there's an idea!!

I'm having a stinker of a day. AF started this morning with a vengeance. Looking after my friends teething 9 mnth old. And my bro and SIL announced their pregnancy yesterday. Obviously I'm very pleased for them but it just added to my disappointment. Just had a good old cry.

Just time for a cup of green tea before the school run!

Mama the 2w sleep sounds like a great idea. Last month I had this really awful feeling that I was just wishing my life away waiting until af/bfp. It's horrible- I actually remember thinking on a friday I would be glad when the weekend was over as it was then only x number of days until I could poas....crazy....

I know ladies, the 2ww is just horrific! I've tried everything....keeping busy, not opking so I don't know how many dpo I am, all sorts of distractions...nothing works really so I'm just going to embrace the fact that I will always get my hopes up, obsess and poas like an addict until the sheer disappointment of af strips me of my hopes and dreams!!!! :(

It's awful wishing our lives away until the next time we can poas.....but I am learning to continue living life to the full and it will happen when the time is right!!! I will reduce caffeine and alcohol, be fit and healthy as much as I can be...but I will not remove life's pleasures completely because fate decides when the time is right and life is for living ladies :)

Ha! I read about coming after DP a few months ago. We do try it, but he's usually in a heap and I'm left to finish myself off! Not the most romantic!
waves to everyone hi mama
I'm not going to officially board the bus because I'm trying to limit my mn online time.
Good luck guys. Hope it's a bumper month especially for those who have been at it for a while!

Thanks for the link sazzle - really helpful. Going to stick to two cups of green tea a day then. Frankly I'll do whatever it takes (and then binge when AF arrives).

Thanks for stats update thora! Nice to have so many of us in it together - and here's hoping for lots of BFPs in Feb.

Well my phone app tells me that im in my fertile windowI should ov tomorrow. We dtd last night and mosmost probably will again tonight but ive had no ewcm this month...hopefully this wont affect my chances too much...when I qas reading up on pregnacare conception a few women said it made their ewcm disappear...wonder if that's the problem? ??

Hello Ladies, I'm off the January bus and look forward to boarding the 'Love Bus' in hope of a romantic BFP!!

mama liked what you said about living life to the full and fate (i'm a big believer in that)

Moffit TTC #2, Cycle 4, BFP due 14th Feb

Waves to Allchat!!!! We haven't tried with DH finishing up before me yet....will try it tomorrow for the first time ever!!! so yes could be interesting...im sure it takes skill to get it right haha! DH is up for the challenge anyway!

Also I just purchased some Manuka Honey (by accident, bumped in to a shelf of it staring at me so had to buy). So fully have Koala Plan in action now!!!! Here's hoping it works!!!!
