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!

congratulations t you all! x

Evening all. Got a bfn today. I'm 12DPO. That's okay. It's what I expected.

Congrats to all the BFPs!

Congrats pebble!!!
Eek dont congratulate me just yet, I'm still sure its an evap line or something :p plus only 7/8dpo so we shall see. Massive fingers crossed!!!

I will wait and test over the weekend I am so going to test in the morning

Feeling fed up again. DH has gone out so I'm sat on my own Googling watching telly. I feel strange, unsettled. I didn't think it's just the bfns, we're trying to find a new house and sell ours, I don't know what's happening with my job and I think it's all just hit me. Having a bit of a wobble. I should be doing work but I just can't settle.

Might go to bed with a hot choc and a book and see if I can get some sleep doubtful

Bloody hell Retro. We really do have a lot in common. Also selling my house and looking for another. Not moving jobs but there is a lot of work related changes happening.

Sometimes things just get on top of us. Three of the most stressful things in life all at once is tough. You're bound to wobble. But just remember, everything will turn out good in the end.

If it helps I had a little cry last week too. Just about everything and nothing. I found writing things down helped. Sort of like doing a project plan with risk assessment (I'm boringly organised!). Maybe that might help yo untangle the web of thoughts?

Hope you feel better soon. X

Me too, AF officially here, booked a seat on march bus. Will joyride here occasionally to see how everyone's getting on.

Hello ladies!

Going to officially jump on the February bus after lurking for a while. . .

TTC#1, cycle1, CD27

AF is due on Thursday however other than slightly sore boobs haven't had any symptoms of PMS as per usual, used a CBFM so know that I ovulated late-got peaks on CD19 and 20 so it's possible I'm only 6 or 7 DPO in which case it's going to be too early to test. . . will try poas on thursday anyway just in case
Eeek! Fx for everyone else!

I'm not moving jobs either, just what I thought was set until August at least is now not, so I don't know what my job will actually be after Easter. I will definitely have a job but chances are my cushy part-time position could be out of the window if I want to stay after the summer and I'm feeling anxious about it. That's not great is it, considering I've not even been approached about it yet?

Writing it down is a good idea. I'm feeling teenage-angsty and writing stuff down then helped.

Because I've changed jobs loads, I don't have any work colleagues I'm close to, my family lives miles away, as do all of my close friends and I'm pretty sure DH thinks I'm bonkers. Really appreciating having you lot to talk to this week. Thanks.

And shit, I think I'm in a different class to usual tomorrow and I've only just remembered. Fuck it, I'm going to bed. I'll wing it if I am. No point panicking. Head. Up. Arse.

Good luck to anyone testing in the morning.

I am lying in bed waiting for DH to finish his 'quick' online game......men

Better hurry up as I am fading fast and have to be up in 5 hours. Grrrrrr

Must have been a phantom line yesterday. No line there this morning.
Still, only 8/9dpo so fingers crossed! Will try and leave it now til the weekend.

Congrats to all the bfp's!!! :) there's so many!! Feels like time has stopped as af is due next weekend
will test next Friday so I know how much I can have to drink when we are out for valentines meal! :)

Keep us up to date treacle!

Ladies, please help... It's CD 17 and I haven't got a smiley with my opk yet. Been testing since Fri (cd12). Last 2 cycles ov was cd 15/16.

Is it possible...

a) the opk has missed it
b) I haven't ov'd due to stress?

Any other insight?

Thx x

Miss...I normally of between cd17-cd20 if that helps?! Are you checking cm?

I'm deffo out, AF arrived on cd33, very long cycle for me! Hopped to march but I'm still lurking here x

PS I don't even have sore boobs which I usually have (sad)

Only DTD once this cycle (Sun, CD14) because we didn't want to waste our efforts and have been waiting for ov...

Hi bella, I hope I might just ov late then... my cycle is usually 23/24 days but maybe it's going to be longer this time? Who knows! CM hasn't been a reliable measure for me before as I seem to get loads after ov and nothing noticeable before! I had a bit this morning so it could mean I have ov'd I suppose? In which case our BDing on Sunday could have been perfectly timed.

I'm giving myself a headache and it's only 9am! And I'm supposed to be trying to not try to conceive! Lol

Really sorry AF arrived, bella. You sound positive though... fx for next month and glad you're sticking around (smile)

Off to try and get Lady Gaga tickets (grin) That will distract me for all of 5 minutes!

Oops I have done all my emoticons wrong!

MissMrs, perfectly reasonable that you may not have ov'd yet. I ov quite late also. Normally cd 17/18.
I would maybe try to DTD again over the next few days so you can catch it even if you can't tell you've ov'd iykwim.
Good luck with the gaga tickets!

Sorry your out Bella, no doubt I'll be seeing you on the March bus too.

So I had chat with DH last night. He said he's realised he's drinking too much and he's determined to cut down. He stayed in last night and didn't drink, despite there being an open bottle of wine on the side. I was DYING for a glass of it but thought that would be a tad hypocritical

I suggested that if in 6 months time he was still struggling to cut down then he needs to seek help. He said no, he'd only give it 2 months before seeking help if need be. So that's a bit positive.

With regards to TTC, the ball is firmly in my court. He doesn't want to stop trying, I'm still unsure. I don't know what to do. My head says wait but my heart is telling me I've wanted this for so long, it'd be daft to give up already when it could take months, even years.

So, all positive stuff with him being determined to cut down but I'm still confused about what to do

That's such a good result, Hazel. So glad he is willing to cut down. Sometimes men need to realise these things for themselves rather than us telling them! You might as well keep TTC, as you say, you don't know how long it will take and once you get your BFP you will be ready for it and things will work out

In other news, I've got my Gaga tickets! Beyond excited . It's in October so I'm tempting fate really... If I fall pg this month I'm not sure a Lady Gaga concert is an appropriate place for a woman who is 8 months pg! But screw it, I've wanted to see her for so long so I'm going for it!

Thanks English. Think we will dtd a couple more times this cycle as you suggest to make sure we've covered all bases!

That's really good hazel, at least now he's willing to make some changes. Why don't you have a rest for this month, to see if he actually makes some necessary changes and then step back on the ttc bus. I wish you all the luck in the world

I need your advice ladies.....

So i'm now on cd37. Yesterday i got a dark opk, today its def as dark as the test line. I had 3 days of brown spotting cd24-26. My question is - could this have been been my first af after the mc?? In which case i'd now be on cd14 of a new cycle. I've had some increased cm, and a little bit of ewcm over the last few days. Need to get some tith sorted for tonight!!

I don't think you can definitely say but it looks to me like it was AF, it all fits...

Tp all Reflexology fans: how often do you have a treatment?
