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!!

Ginger, how frustrating you poor thing - you must have the patience of a saint to be on cd 67 with no answers. Will you go back to the doctors again in a week if no answers?
Congrats Aisha, bump and queen - nice to have more bfps in the final week of the bus.

Good luck to the last few - i have my fx for you all.

Congratulations Queen

Good luck tiggie....another vote here for poas right now!

Wow congrats queen that's amazing! See you on the Oct 2014 thread

So details of BFP..
DTD cd 9, 12, 13,14,15,17,19 ov on day 15 was using clear blue smiley opk

Things we did differently this month:
Used preseed for 1st time.
Used soft cups for 1st time (not everyone's cup of tea but I found them no prob, put in after 5 mins of legs in the air post-dtd, left in till next morning)
Made sure I had O after dh every time.
Ate loads of fruit and veg and basically no junk as was doing weight watchers this month...amazingly got to my goal weight, just checked this morning! Now waiting to put on shed loads more over next 9 months..will prob never again in my life weigh under 9 stone!

I'd really really recommend the preseed and soft cups, sure that's what did it for us.

Good luck all

Congrats queen!! Hope you can post your info soon!

Thx aisha for posting, never heard of soft cups before. Did you have any symptoms?

Woo 3!! Let's hope we get a few more before this weeks out!

Tiggie, get poas!! Peer pressure!!! Xx

Hi English that is exactly what happened to me this month and I managed to get my BFP. FF said I ov'd cd28 although i think it was cd27. we DTD on cd 25 and 26 so don't give up hope yet.
Writer your shopping trip sounds so exciting, think I'd have bought the whole shop! 8 weeks to go!!!
Oh and good luck last couple of passengers x

Fantastic news with all those BFP'S! Congratulations ladies!

Day 27 of cycle for me and no BFP and I am sure it would be picking up something now so looking like AF will be visiting soon! Disappointed is not the word! I had awful cramps on Friday and last week and and felt sure AF was coming then but nothing. Boobies still killing me. Also any lines I THOUGHT I might have seen would surely have got stronger by now so well pissed off today. Just wish AF would hurry up now and stop playing mind games with me !!

Thanks Munday! I hope we've done enough!!
Aisha, I'm getting the soft cups and pre-seed if I have no luck this cycle!! Sounds like that could be the trick!!

Ok, so finally managed to pop to the shops and have picked up a truck load of tests.....now the wait begins, the 2ww was nothing compared to the next few hours! Spoke to DH at lunchtime and he made me promise not to do it without him, I am also slightly concerned that I might burst into tears at work which ever result I get if I did 'accidentally slip and poas'. The thought is extremely tempting though, however I cant quite make 'I accidentally unwrapped the test packets and poas without realising' sound convincing....any suggestions?!

I'd just POtheS anyway but keep up the pretence to my DH that I hadn't!!!

Aren't we all guilty of telling white lies to our DH/DPs on occasions??

I was testing for 7 days without my DH even knowing. I think I would have felt very pressured if I'd had to POAS with him standing there watching or waiting outside the bathroom door. I liked doing it on my own and then having that excitement of breaking the news to him

What cycle are you on tiggi??

technically 2 however this is the first month of actually paying attention so I'd go with 1

It's so exciting!!! What time are you expecting him home???? How long do we have to wait for news??? I'm not updating the Passenger List until after you've done the test - I have a good feeling

I dont think I'll be home from work until about 8pm...he is usually a similar time. I am clock watching like a fiend!

Thanks for the support, I have no nails left. Is it normal to be this crazy?!

A collegue just asked what I was doing this evening, all I wanted to shout was 'I'm going to poas'!

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much though, I was told a few years ago that it was likely that I would struggle with fertility due to pcos, endometriosis and various other complications so this may well be a false alarm. Sit tight ladies, you'll be the first to know...

Bella, symptoms were not that recognisable...but I noticed my skin was really good post ov, normally it starts to get bad after ov when I'm not on the pill...this month clear. Also about 12dpo I started to be really aware of my boobs! Sounds a bit odd..they didn't exactly hurt but I really knew they were there. I had a few dizzy spells in the tww, but could have been just getting up too fast. Also went for a weekend away with dh and we walked loads around town, up a hill, I was way more tired and short of breath than him..that never ever happened before.

English as for preseed and soft cups, I'm sure that's what did it for us, it felt like a bit of an industrial operation dtd sometimes but well worth it!

tiggi - 8pm!!! Then he's being very unreasonable in expecting you us to wait!!!! haha

The best of luck, I'll be back at 20.03pm to hear the news - I really, really hope it goes the way you want. One of my friends was also given the impression by her GP that she'd struggle to conceive (she has a condition involving the lining of her womb) but she still got pregnant on their first month of trying. If it's meant to happen, then it will

Aisha thanks for those tips! I'm looking into preseed and def getting softcups - genius! Tmi but they will be great for my AF which is so heavy, I bled through my clothes and onto my chair at work last week as I hadn't changed my tampon for a couple of hours ;-(( Though if the preseed/softcups TTC plan works I won't need to worry about AF!

Congrats again, you must be over the moon!

Ohhhhh congrats to all the BFPs today :-) and also good luck to miss tiggi! Keeping everything crossed for you. 11 DPO and nothing yet. Mild cramps and nausea....will wait till weds unless AF rudely arrives before that.

January has been the longest month ever!!!!

Congrats to the BFPs!! So exciting!!

So Mr Felange isn't getting home today! I have bought tests but don't want to do it without him so maybe tomorrow maybe not! Still no signs of AF either.....

All these cliff hangers!!!

Congrats to any BFPs I've missed! I'm def having AF pains today don't know what all my 'symptoms' were then! Won't rule myself out completely though still have two days to go but BFNs still, how ever hard I look in which ever light it's in there is def no line

EnglishGirlAbroad I feel equally as narked with my body! 36 hour bleed, light and a week early so hoped ib. AF due today and bfn. And now CM looks like I'm ovulating!!! Fed up!

On a more positive positive note....well done on today bfp's xx

I do love a good cliffhanger!

It bloody sucks doesn't it Bingo!!

I'm sorry I didn't let you know earlier but I've been too miserable...yup you guessed it bfn. I was so sure, my body has been going crazy this month. Major disappointment but still no af yet. Confused.

Sorry to hear that tiggi! Hugs!

It must be strange being late and BFN! I kind of want to put off testing for that reason! How many days late are you?

Right I'm off to Feb bus! Another bfn, no AF so presume my wacky short bleed is all I'm getting this month and convinced ovulating cm again today!

Ladies, it has been a pleasure. I wish you all safe travels x
