[EnglishGirlAbroad]

Hop on board thread 3 of the Jan bus! Wishing you all lots of luck for a bfp filled new year!!

Thanks monday sorry for standing you up as your poas buddy! Fx for your bfp :)

Stats -
Kittyrose1 ttc #1 cycle #2 BFP 17th jan
~ DTD - cd6,8,9,10,11,13,14,15, 16, 18, 21.
~ Ov'd - no idea as no positive opk but did get slightly increased cm (no ewcm though) from cd10 - 15.
~ DPO therefore approx16/17 days (fertility app says 17dpo)
~ symptoms have included a couple of fleeting waves of nausea and also feeling dizzy, but they quickly pass. My skin has gotten really oily, to the point my fringe is mega greasy after just one day , also heaps of spots over my back (which I haven't has since a teenager). I also have been getting weird little twinges that feel like they are in the uterus area.
~ tips/tricks I followed included taking Robitussin Chesty Cough medicine x2 5ml everyday from cd 6 to 16 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B001E177J6, as well as EPO x2 1000mg. I did NUDP after most BD sessions.

I think that's about it... Hopefully something here will help someone else, fx.

I'm out. AF arrived yesterday. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Congrats kitty!
Sorry to those AF got.

I'm getting the urge to POAS now at around 9DPO argh...

Congrats Kitty!! And great that despite no positive OPK you still got your BFP!!

I'm on cd 19 now. Run out of OPKs now too. Still no fixed smiley so I'm goin to have to keep DTD! I'm temping but that appears to be showing me bugger all either!
DH goes away on Thursday so I think I'm gonna have to just pinned him down every night between now and then!

Will done you, KittyRose1! You give me hope seeing as you didn't get a positive OPK either

Quick question, what's EPO and NUDP (and why does cough medicine help)?

I'm out. It's been a really difficult month. My hormones have clearly been all over the place and my PMS symptoms have now changed - they are now even more like pregnancy symptoms - goody. I'm over to February now. Hopefully won't see too many of you there!

Oh, DoctorDonnaNoble-lots of virtual hugs here. Does that at least mean that AF has arrived and are no longer in limbo land? I'll keep up with your news on the Feb bus as I have been following your story since I arrived on here and would like you to have a BFP so much!

Thanks girls still feels pretty surreal!
Kittyvon and English I did ic OPKs from amazon and I did them all different times of day and I'm not sure I gave them the best go as I think you should do them the same time everyday? Still all the ones I did do were negative.
kittyvon EPO is evening primrose oil (suppose to be good for producing ewcm) and NUDP is naked upside down pedalling lol!
The reason I took the cough medicine is because I read last month that it contains the ingredient guaifenesin which for coughs thins out the mucus to make a more productive cough but it also does this to mucus throughout the body including cervical mucus which helps the swimmers along their way!

Sorry ladies with AF :( fx and tx for a feb bfp

Where's the February thread? I can't find it

Kitty - yup, witch is here! I'm in Wales as DH is running up and down Pen Y Fan carrying 35lb on his back today. Going to treat myself this weekend, and get back on it as soon as possible. Let myself think it could happen this month. So sad at the minute as my best RL friend (who had multiple miscarriages and would be a fab support) is on adoption leave at the minute.

Just tested on CD32 and got my BFP! Wasn't expecting it as symptoms haven't been that obvious: a bit tired, bit hungry, period pains but no period, sore boobs. Let's hope this bus is lucky for everyone else too, fx

Oooh sorry guys that af got, evil moo!
Congrats kitty sounds like you really put the effort in! I hope the little bean sticks.

I am still very much in the game, been completely off my food for 3 days, cramps like af is coming but in not due on til next Saturday? ! Ben uber tired and sleep, actually went to bed at 9 last night. 7 dpso. Want to peos now!!

Congrats Amy! Mine was on cd32 as well, how exciting. Mrsb87 I have been shattered this week thinking about y,
I had to have a nap yesterday afternoon! Fx

Yay Kitty and well done for Dtd so much - good work!

Fx for everyone. I have 6 more days to wait BUT AF came tomorrow last cycle so every day that passes from tomo to Fri is another step closer to my BFP!

I don't feel pg. I have sore boobs (but had that last month) and AF style cramps but only mild. Also lots if ewcm yesterday and today.

Anyone poas today?

Sorry for those who are off the bus :-(

Congrats Amy!!

So it turns out those cramps must have been implantation cramps since I got a bfp this morning! Dh convinced me to be brave and do my first test so that we would just know. I'm very happy but also cautious as this is pg #1, baby #1.

Just to reassure you all, other than cramps on 11 and 12 DPO I have no symptoms. Nothing at all out of the ordinary. I was convinced on those days it was over. And then I just felt like af wasn't coming which is why I did the test. But honestly I feel completely normal. So there is always hope!!

Can I ask what evening primrose oil is good for in pg? I used to take it for pmt but stopped as it said not advised if ttc.
I'm currently taking a concoction:
Thyroxine, iron, folicacid, calcium & magnesium.

Explains why I didn't get any luck Googling NUDP-forgot it was part of the Koala plan!

Ewcm? Sorry I AM a newbie!

Yay Honey!

Very happy for,you, Honeybear! -fantastic news! You must be on cloud nine

MrsE, EWCM is the 'mucus' or discharge that is quite clear and stretchy and best for all the little,swimmers and peaks around the time of ovulation.

Wow congrats kitty, Amy and honey, what a great start to the weekend for the Jan bus!!

MrsExtra ewcm is egg white cervical mucus. Its when your cervical mucus goes thin and stretchy, like an egg white consistency. It happens around the time of ovulation and helps the sperm reach their destination. However, not everyone gets it (I get a bit but not a lot), so there are a few tricks rumoured to help, like the cough medicine or various supplements. I usually use preseed which mimics it, used cough medicine early this cycle too.

Whoops x post with kitty on ewcm!
