New Year, New Hope. Jan Bus (part3)

[EnglishGirlAbroad]

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

BFP 27th Jan so a while yet. Trying not to use any particular devices/charting yet other than a general conception calculator app wotsit. We've both been so full of a cold this month it would need to be a miracle conception How are you all managing things?

Littlemisssunshine, I'm still sat here patiently...I'm testing around same time as you I hope, predicted ovulation today but no ewcm yet & only DTD once this cycle...done everything wrong, drank my bodyweight in soda in new York and ate a million burgers too! Not taken my trying for a baby tablets either!!

Also doing koala plan but peddling is hard! I can't do uncaffinated tea so sod it! This is my first cycle but came but didn't prevent last month whilst coming off pill, think I missed of tho!

Does anyone else get a huge glob of ewcm & does it happen as your oving or afterwards?? X

Well, this is a bit weird...in the middle of finishing off a lesson plan, I had to run to the bathroom to throw up. Now, either this is good news or I really just wrote the most awful lesson plan! Shame it is really to early to test - I got as far as looking at my ClearBlue pregnancy test packet and panicked when it said it was not that accurate before the first day period is due and promptly put it back on the bathroom shelf.

BingoBango, I started off this month with good intentions of the SMEP Plan but I never got a positive OPK result (am still not!) so have been DTD every other day since CD8. I am now on CD26. Have done some cycle peddling after a few of the last DTDs (see Koala Plan from Jan Bus Part 2) so hoping all that hard work did the trick!

bellaboo - I have really struggled to notice anything regarding ewcm and what's what 'down there' - and there was me thinking I knew my body really well

Thanks for the link. I'm in two minds about OPKs at the mo.....trying to focus on DTD in my presumed 'window' instead, but well aware curiosity will get the better of me if this is a fruitless cycle.

Oh no KittyVon (or should it be yay?!) how yucky! Are you ok now? Lesson planning is rather sickening, I have to agree!

Could be a good sign... Any other symptoms to note?

When is your BFP due again?

Congratulations to all the BFPs today

Congrats Amy and honey! Great news!

Well koala plan was put in to action this morning!!! Needless to say DH face was a picture when I started cycling!!! I had to get him to leave the room, I just couldn't do it with him being hysterical!!! So I think from here on in, the plan is for him to leave for a few mins til I get the cycling over with then he can come back in!!! Haha!

With regard to orgasm after DH, we did manage this but I must say....it just wasn't the same for me :/ but needs must....i will carry on with whatever it takes! oh and that manuka honey....well a spoon of that was tough to get down this morning....thought I was going to barf!!!!! :/

Can't believe I am still lesson planning; 6 hours on a Sat is a killer! If I had a 28 day cycle, I could test Monday but I haven't been off the Pill long enough to know what my cycle is exactly. So, missmrsmummy, was going to test on 24th Jan as per the SMEP Plan. Nausea has subsided at least. Feels annoying waiting till next Friday to test, but I have teacher training to deliver and another Parents Evening before then, so it will give me something to look forward to, I suppose

Mama, I've read other things online that say the order of big o doesn't really matter. Your uterus will make little contractions regardless. good luck with the koala plan! hope it works for you!

Afternoon all, thought you might want my stats (I know I was always interested!)...

So TTC #1, cycle 3 after stopping microgynon at the end of October. My cycle lengths were 28 and then 26. We dtd on cd 10, 12, 13, 15 and 17. I had ovulation pain on cd 13 and ewcm. On cd 24 I had bad lower back ache followed by what I thought were ov cramps on cd 25 and 26. Did a frer this morning, cd 28 and it came up within seconds. Couldn't believe it. And I feel normal, a bit crampy but that's all.

It still hasn't sunk in. I've been wandering around the house all day with the frer so I can keep checking it?!

Af cramps not ov cramps! D'oh!

I'm still here too! AF due 28/29th jan and currently 2 DPO!! Roll on the end of jan :-)

Congratulations to all the BFPs and sorry for those who have been visited by AF. I'm sure I'll be joining you on the fen bus anyway as the planned DTD marathon didn't happen due to a poorly DP... Grrrr (oops wasn't very sympathetic!!)

*feb.

Can i join :)

Firstly congrats all you BFP's!!! So happy for you all, and sorry for the BFN this is me again sadly for now.....
Had 10 weeks MMC mid November, received first cycle 17th-23rd december.... But no AF since that's 33 days past now, and no sign of it and no sign of a BFP for me :(

Reading a few posts think i may try the sperm meets egg plan if my AF wants to hurry it's littleself up so we can try again lol!

Why is it such a long painful waiting game, not fair!

sending hugs to you all!!

It must be horrible being in limbo land, babytinks especially after your MMC - very sorry to hear that. The SMEP plan helped me to focus on something at least. I haven't got a +ve OPK yet so have been exhausting each other DTD every other day - at least DH has been game!

Sorry you are still here, Lovecuppy - we can wait together over the next week to poas

English I know what you mean! Lol but I'm just trying out new things this cycle....that I've not been doing last 7 cycles...will try anything!! :)

Arrrggghh. Think i may be out... 9DPO and started having pale pink blood. Would be very odd to be AF now as I'm pretty regular so hoping its implantation bleeding but still.

Thanks kitty :-)

Treacle I read somewhere that 9dpo is most common day for ib!

KittyVon I'm testing Fri too (now I think we may have already discussed this!) fx... Glad no more nausea! So hard working on the weekend. I've been APPing today!

Do you think there are more acronyms on mn or in teaching?! Lol

Ooo thats a good sign then. Thanks missmrs
Haha I think its a close one with the acronyms :p

Thanks Kitty... Now it's just the waiting game for me.. Where are when we fell pregnant in aug last year it wasnt planned it happened right away with missing one of my pills.. Now its having to play the game to wait for it to happen again :( its super hard!

How are you getting on? Sorry haven't read all the posts, you have a BFP yet? Or is it still the waiting game for you too?

I love reading this thread and seeing I'm not alone in being conception-mad. I think my bosses may sack me, my productivity has stuttered to zero and I sit on my phone all day googling baby making info (obviously not going to use the work computer for that - and give them a chance to bin me off before I get pregnant and 'difficult' HA! Fuckers)

Anyway, on Cd21 - and fuck me it seems like cd 2001 - but finally got a positive line on opk. Skin is abysmal and lower abdomen is agony. I used to have eating 'issues' and would take herbal laxatives - similar sort of cramping. It is incredible having hormones again! Have had a sort of low-level nausea for the past 3 days, so got all excited but if I'm only ovulating now then pregnant I'm not. Jumped OH yesterday anyway so all good.

Really pleasing to read the good news stories in here and heart wrenching to read the sadder stories, but so glad everyone is posting away on here. I guess it's the point of the boards, but i think it's wonderful anyway. Thank you for all sharing so much of your lives and in doing so making the days a bit easier to get through!!

Hi icy, don't worry you are not the only one ha, although i do use my work pc ooops!
My health is more important so i'll blame it on that if it ever crops up!!

Good luck, how long ago was your last AF?

still a waiting game for me
