BFPs for the month of love... The February bus is on the way!

[barmybunting]

New February bus thread... Old thread is here - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1967468-All-ttc-or-expecting-their-BFPs-welcome-Fingers-crossed-for-a-fantastically-fertile-February

Here is to more February BFPs!

I've Got a session booked on Thursday morning. My af is due 18th and I know a few of you have opted for going earlier in the month, but tbh I dont hold out much hope this month after awful bloods so can't see it doing any harm, the other side of ov that is even if I did ov which is unlikely I think. It's supposed to help hormonal balance and thyroid being a hormone surely it's got to help and if not no harm done.

Mrsextra my lady did mention thyroid so def worth a go!

Wow, sounds good Mama. I find it so fascinating that they can tell so much from your feet!! Hope she's onto something for you. And glad that if nothing else you've found it relaxes you!

I am on the dreaded 2ww. Fact is, I don't know when and if I ovulated. App on phone says OV was scheduled for 2 February. CBFM only registered highs (first month use as had to reset). Unfortunately, last time we DTD was Wednesday last week (5 Feb). Had cramping since Wednesday though, and I still get short, stabbing pain now. So don't know if we missed the boat...

Hello!

Am only 7dpo so have another week (at least) to wait.....boo!

I MC last month at 5 weeks 5 days after TTC#2 Cycle 1 but have put a lot of pressure on myself to get that BFP and it's only Cycle 2. We did SMEP and I know I ovulated so my fingers and toes are crossed.

Good luck to everyone testing soon and sorry to everyone else who hasn't had their positive this month

Hi MrsE! WRT It's supposed to help hormonal balance and thyroid being a hormone surely it's got to help and if not no harm done My reflexologist said that there should be nothing wrong with having Reflexology after you ovulate, but she said reflexologists don't often advise it as if something happened, the reflexology session could appear to be to blame. Does that make sense? I think you'll be fine. It's like saying a hot bath could prevent implantation. Probably just one of those conceptions myths designed to give us an even harder time!

We'll get you through the next 7 days,Pinkie!

The reflexologist sounds interesting mama. I really hope she is onto something with her November baby thoughts for you !

After thinking ov might be earlier this cycle, I haven't used another opk because, of all things, my cat got himself stuck 70ft up a tree yesterday and spent at least 30 odd hours stuck up there whilst we got the fire service, rspca and a tree surgeon to attempt to get him down! Thankfully the tree surgeon got him down this morning. Thank goodness as we've had snow here today, and he spent the night hanging onto the top branches at about 80ft, wailing as he swung about in the wind whilst we tried to coax him down in the middle of the woods at 3am. It's been an interesting few days! I'm hoping ov is still lurking so we can actually dtd instead of tapdancing around trees tonight! That's if we can get the cat off us, he has been glued to me since he was rescued!

cd32.. do I test, do I test? the answer should be no but I will definately do it anyways!

What dpo are you hibou?

Your poor cat Barmy!! Sounds like you've had a interesting few days! Glad he's down and safe! Good luck with DTD tonight, hope the cat gives you a few moment peace!

Thanks barmy! I'm hoping so! But being realistic also!!! Awh the poor cat, traumatised I'm sure! Hope you get some dtd in though....the cat will just have to cover his eyes if he's refusing to leave your side! haha!

Hibou, what dpo?? If I ever got to cd32 I'd have tested a thousand times...but that wouldn't happen with my short cycles!

I don't know what dpo I am.. I was trying to use opks, was getting flashing smileys from cd8.. this lasted for 7 days! I ran out of tests before I got a peak! my last cycle was 36 days (yet flashing smileys pretty early at day9). I seem to be all over the place and trying to track it seems impossible at the min!

Hibou, then yes you should test!!

oh if you insist!! haha

As predicted AF arrived with a vengeance today. So onwards and upwards. New stats. Rambini ttc #1 cycle #2 BFP due 5th March.
Good luck to all still left on the Feb bus, in the kindest way I hope not to see you on the March bus!

hibou test, test, and test again!

Opk less prominent today, will still dtd tonight as trying to follow SMEP.

Anyone got any advice on exercise during tww? I try to go to the gym every other day twice a week and fairly heavy on ab work and spinning, is this ok?

Your poor cat barmy!!! Im a crazy cat lady cat lover and would be in bits if our cat got stuck up a tree. Give him extra cuddles then ditch him for dtd ;)

Amazon cheapies arrived today... how long can I resist?!?! Someone tell me no!!! (9dpo)

How does anyone resist poas when they have IC's in their house?! I simply can not....ive even poas as soon as they have been delivered....when I haven't even ovulated yet and have poas real soon after ovulation...just depending when I get the delivery! I usually do it just to show myself that I always get an evap line so must not get excited by grey lines when I do poas at the right time....i also do this because I am a crazy poas addict admittedly!

Haha mama! I am addict too! Might do one tomorrow! Just had some brown cm though (sorry tmi!) so hoping that is implantation and in a few days get a bfp!

As expected... bfn. This ttc lark is starting to stress me out and only been off the pill since August. How those of you cope that have been trying for 12 months+ is beyond me!!

On recommendations I emailed the reflexologist today she sounds really positive but think I may miss ovulation this month ... Hopefully I won't need it next month I'd like a November baby!!
Looking forward to half term and relaxing a bit!!

I tested this morning for the first time and got a BFN Bit of an anticlimax really!

I wasn't really surprised as I had a 40 day cycle after coming off the pill and today is day 40 of my next. Not getting any symptoms either way so not sure if my cycle is a bit longer this month or just all over the place! Had what I thought were AF cramps a week or so ago but these have now gone too. Think we're just going to start DTD again and see what happens. If AF hasn't arrived by the weekend and I feel any symptoms I might test again.

Re exercise, I've been told that if you're used to exercising its fine to continue but not to train harder than usual and push yourself too much. The gym a couple of times a week can only be a good thing, even if just to take your mind off TTC!

Feel better just posting here so thanks for listening!

Thanks littlebear I just committed the fatal mistake of googling exercise during tww and got so much conflicting info I was spiraling into panic! Sorry about the bfn, try to stay positive

Thanks, we are very relieved to have him home! He is my furry baby and is very spoilt, I couldn't have handled another night of him up that awful tree in the snow and wind! He has given up on me now as his radiator bed was calling .

Sorry to hear of bfn tonight. Will you test again tomorrow? Fx for you!
