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!!

AF turned up this morning. Alas. Weird one really - incredibly late and absolutely no symptoms or spotting, which I usually get.

Ah, well.

Newbie here

TTC #1, cycle 4. AF due yesterday, BFP today!

Giving hope (I hope) to the 'oldies' here as I am almost 39.

Good luck all.

Excellent news sparrow! I'm 36 and very concious about age. Your great news certainly makes me feel better.

I've not been on for a couple of days and just want to say how sad I am for you Choccy, so sorry to read of what you're going through. Take care of yourself and follow everyone's very good advice, we're all thinking of you and rooting for you x

Ruby shoes, I am so very pleased to read of your bfp, wishing you lots of love and luck

Congrats to the other BFPs and so sorry spinning and those who af rudely got, best of luck for the Feb bus

4dpo here - NOTHING to report!!

Imaginary, you are def not a bitch and I admit to the 'well good for you' sarcastic little voice in my head happening when I first hear of BFPs despite how much I love or like the person saying it (apart from you guys on here!!) Hope it's not made you feel too meh, hang in there hon, we'll get there

Has anyone seen m33r? Hope you're ok! Lots of luck as always xx

Choccy....enjoy getting to grips with those!!! Haha!!!! Sure its good to try everything once!! ;)

Congrats sparrow! :)

No symptoms today. No matter though ever hopeful I'm off to buy superdrug preggo tests tomorrow to use some point next week when my resolve not to poas until AFTER af is due fails!

Sazzle

I was determined not to obsess about all this, however after reading a week by week account of pregnancy this afternoon and then looking at the science of early pregnancy tests and discovering canyouseealine.com I am close to giving in. I want to poas! Its so hard keeping a level head.

I'm going to go home and try and talk myself out of it!

Have a blast, Choccy!!

Its Christmaas, I have experienced what you have since coming off the Pill and is perfectly normal and yes, all done to those pesky hormones!

CD25 and STILL NO +VE OPK, GAAH! Still, DTD every other day is keeping DH extremely happy! Well done on the BFP, sparrow and harsh luck to all the BFNs. Going out tonight and going to be having to sneakily reduce the obvious signs I am not drinking, oh the joys!!

Happy Friday, Ladies

MrsN I don't know what cycle you're on but I promise myself every time that I will not worry about the 2ww and every time I go crazy between 4dpo and 12dpo wondering if I've done it. And after 14 cycles I still haven't learnt my lesson and still disappoint myself with a bfn!!! Instead if just waiting for AF to show up! And I know already I'll be no different this cycle!!!

Lol Choccy have fun with the condoms!

Thanks onelife I dont feel like so much of a bitch now I know other people think it too! Not seen M33r post in a while, although I dont go on that many other threads, hope she's ok.

8dpo here I think, tested this am and obviously bfn. Feel justified testing early this month as after the 2 early mcs the last two months I want to keep an eye on what's happening in case it happens again. 8dpo is probably stupidly early though! Got a few potential symptoms, but I'm back on the b6 this month and that made me feel funny last time (taking a lower dose now) so it could just be that. Why does time go so slowly in the 2ww?!

Hope you get your +ve opks soon kitty, must be driving you mad!

How you doing mama? You back opk-ing this month or still going with the relaxed approach?

Trying to catch

I have no idea why that just posted :s stupid phone.

Hope you have an amazing break choccy!

Thanks English that's very reassuring!!

I had cuddles with my friends three day old today!! OMG what a mix of emotions I felt.. Broody, tearful, happy, upset and jealous all in one! But glad I saw her, it makes what I'm doing and the crazy conception bubble I'm in so worth it!!!

BFN. However hard I strain my eyes and what ever angle I look at it, it's still a BFN. Still it's only cycle one and AF is not due to show her ugly face until at least Sunday. I still might test again with morning pee on Sunday or Monday if AF is not here on time.

Hi imaginary! No after 2 months of no opking I figured I'd like to know when I ov this month! Don't know why, I just think I end up guessing how many dpo I am anyway so I might as well get that bit right!! How are you doing? Opk is slightly stronger today but not positive so I'm thinking O day will be Monday....DH is off tomorrow and Sunday so planning a wkend of dtd ;) and will see where we can fit it in early next week also!

Well I just purchased Manuka honey....honestly didn't mean to....was in Holland and Barrett for something else and bumped in to a whole shelf of manuka honey staring at me.....so Koala Plan is fully in action now....Mrskoala where are you??? You should be so proud of me ;)

I took a tablespoon of it about an hour ago....boke!!!! but needs must ;) mrskoala I'm putting all my faith in this plan now.....hope it works!!!!!! :)

KittyVon thanks for replying. I've never had it before.. Been ttc for 13 months now and never had this pain this early before af. It's quite bad at times.

Hey mama, yeah am ok ta, just wishing time away to get the 2ww over and done with, hopefully without af putting in an appearance!

Yeah I had 1 month without opks and hated it, I feel a bit more in control knowing when Ive ov'd, at least you can count the 2ww down then and know if you end up being 'late'. You're just entering the good bit now though aren't you! Have a good weekend Never even heard of that honey before the koala plan, will let you be the guinea pig on that one!

I hope the 2ww goes quickly for you and you get your bfp!!!! Good luck! And you have a good wkend too!!! I'm pretty certain if the koala plan works for me that most ladies on here will be on it by next cycle! Hahaha!!!!

Lol, Ive done the pedalling, although after ov I think, if dont get bfp this month will adopt it in full next time, especially if it gives you your bfp!!

ItsChristmaas - could it be implantation pains? At the very least, is probably ovulation pains. FX!

Evening all :) 13 DPO here. Was convinced yesterday that af would be here as I had really bad cramps on 11 and 12 DPO. But nothing! Normally af comes the day after the cramps. Hmmm. I have no other symptoms, like seriously nothing. Not tired, no sore nips, don't feel sick.

Keep fx for me that af doesn't appear tomorrow! If I'm feeling very brave I might be able to do my very first ever poas on Sunday!

Good luck honeybear!!!!

Wah, I feel like I really don't know my body! OPK smiley on Sat, no ewcm to note but had quite a bit today...is that 'normal'? I thought it was meant to come during ov

Hi ladies, I couldn't wait and so I poas tonight - it was a BFP!!! I can't quite believe it!! here's to hoping it is a nice sticky one that grows into a healthy bundle of joy.
Good luck everyone testing this weekend and chin up to those with AF visits x

Congratulations Kitty!! Gives me hope for tomorrow
So if you could give us your montly stats- DTD days, ov day, what dpo you are and all the symptoms so the rest of us can obsess!! Who will be my POAS buddy now?!? X
