Just thought I'd get the January bus started! The heaters on, the tunes are turned up and the seats are pretty comfy :)
I know there's a couple of others like myself who won't be POAS until January time so we have a bit of time to get cozy on the bus.
I'm Spam, my hubby is having a reverse vasectomy in a couple of weeks so my earliest hope of a BFP is 4/5th January :)

Hello and good luck everyone! Too many posts to catch up with but have been reading and sympathising.

I've just been sorting through baby clothes for a friend who is due soon - amazing what two years and a bit of perspective does! I thought I had sold things I was willing to part with, but I have a huge heap of clothes that I don't mind not getting back. I have kept everything that I am fond of in case DC2 is the same sex as DC1 Smile and I will get as much use as possible out of our clothes whatever the sex!

Did make me ultra broody though, even more so!

Mumwannabe82 · 29/12/2014 16:23

Hi everyone, well I'm officially on the Jan bus now as AF arrived two days late after 8 days of spotting which is soooo weird!! Anyhoo, my stats are:
32, cycle 10, TTC 1, bfp due 22 Jan!!! Its going to be a long month!!!

Fx for all of you lovelies xxxx

Linguaphile · 29/12/2014 16:38

AF happily arrived on the 27th, so it is indeed the January bus for me! CD 3 and looking forward to some baby makin'!

Tweej · 29/12/2014 16:58

Hi girls hoping to join this bus. 33 ttc #2. Cycle 2 mc on first cycle. Bfp due on 14th of January. In the middle of Smep. Wrecked but hope it works x

FoodPorn · 29/12/2014 17:33

I hope everyone is doing well and that there are some little Christmas babies in the making. Xmas Smile

I am on TWW for what would be my boxing day baby Xmas Grin. I am breastfeeding DS (13 mo) still and was worried that I might not be ovulating but having tracked my temps this month it looks like there was a shift after the OPKs were positive.

Symptom spotting is in full swing. I was really hot last night and this morning which I got excited about because when I got pregnant with DS I was very hot in the first few DPOs and then had a headache. I have never wanted a headache before in my life until now!

I am DPO 3 and for DS had a BFP on DPO 10 so bring on the 5th January!

Pigriver · 29/12/2014 18:26

Hi guys, just catching up with everyone. 3 days until I can POAS not sure really. All the time off has made me think endlessly about conceiving so a BFN will be terrible but I am trying to prepare myself just in case. Much easier when I am at work and too busy to overthink!
Would be amazing to start 2015 with a BFP though!

Sore boobs and sharp stab by overly pain are the only symptoms so far...

spinningirl10 · 29/12/2014 18:38

Hi ladies, just popping in as I'd lost this thread.
14dpo and a bfn yesterday so I think I'm out. Af due tomorrow.
Really hoping this New year bus is lucky for all of us Grin

60sname · 29/12/2014 21:11

Hi everyone, jumping on for the first time for January - eek! I had my copper coil out a couple of weeks ago.

My stats:
60sname, 31, cycle 1, cd13, ttc #1, af/bfp due 22 Jan

Themrsgray · 29/12/2014 21:28

Hi all, I was hoping for a xmas day bfp but af showed in place. I am on cd5 and praying for a January bfp. I was adamant I would just go with the flow but once the decision is made its hard not to want it to happen straight away!

Fingers crossed for all you lovely ladies.

My stats:
31, cycle 3, ttc #1, af/bfp due 22 Jan.

bluewisteria · 29/12/2014 21:44

Fingers crossed spam!! When are you testing?

Stoatystoat · 29/12/2014 21:44

Pulling up a seat.

35, cycle 1, TTC #1, af due 18th Jan or thereabouts

Not a farking clue about all of this. Plan is to just shag and see what happens. Hopefully I do it the right time...any advice welcome!

Marmite27 · 29/12/2014 22:53

Due to test NYE, I still have the funny right side pain, and itchy boobs, and I felt sick until 5pm when I made DH take me to McD's.

I have been very distracted at work, leading to one member of staff mutter to another 'when is she going to tell us she's pregnant!'

My response 'as far as I know I'm not, it's just all the bloody chocolate and mince pies I've been eating' cheeky feckers! They just want their own team bump to coo over - every other team has one. It's not known w're trying by anyone, but I just got married and that's what you do next right? I just want to screech 'I'm trying my best' but that would be unladylike and give the game away lol.

I even bought a wee funnel, a conception book and some mucas cough syrup as 'fate tempters' I don't want to test as a BFN means that, AF or nine months in the trenches at the moment!

Anyone had a BFP today I can look at for luck?

DizzyNorthernBird · 29/12/2014 23:25

Mmm sorry marmite, no bfp here... I was in town today and contemplated buying some tests to try on New Years eve. Got home from work and of course, my usual pre AF brown spotting has arrived! So bfn for me and formally on board the jan bus now! Boo! Can't say I'm surprised those after my disastrous cycle 1 attempt!

trinityrabbit · 30/12/2014 00:10

Hey everyone. Glad to see people in the 2ww. Who knew how easy it is to get obsessed!! I am only 2dpo but already checking out when can first test. No symptoms and 13 days til AF due...gonna try and hold out for poas til af late! How is everyone doing with the suspense?! Guessing you have to get a bit more relaxed once you've gone a few months with bfns...

Boobear1983 · 30/12/2014 02:48

On cd3 here, unfortunately me and the OH have no days off together in jan, and after a strange, long cycle i don't even know when I'm due to OV. Looks like we'll have to dtd whenever we can and hope for the best this month!

Updated stats

Boobear1983, 31, ttc#1, cycle 3, bfp due jan 26th (ish, cycles are normally 30 days but last one was 49 so not sure!)

loopylou1984 · 30/12/2014 07:32

8dpo and getting my usual pre af symptoms ??
We couldn't have done better this month, dtd several times leading up to ov, I just have a feeling this isn't going to happen naturally for us. X

spamanderson · 30/12/2014 08:21

blue I was naughty and tested again this morning. BFN as expected. Weird as last night I had the tiniest (TMI!) pink tinge when I went to the loo, was really thirsty last night and was super hot so fully expect AF to arrive this morning. Touch wood, she's not arrived so far. I'm only 8dpo so could be that I need to wait a couple more days? That or I've fit my hopes up for nothing. It's weird as I feel really positive about this month being THE month :/
spinning has AF turned up this morning or have you tested again??
Fingers crossed pigriver, I'm 8dpo, my boobs are agony (which I don't normally get with AF), I'm knackered and getting sharp twinges in my stomach too. I've been nauseas at the same time (about 5pm) fir the last 3 nights too... So you never know!!
Hi stoat! Welcome to the bus :)
Oh marmite! Lmao at wee funnel though! Hopefully you've tempted fate there! With dd1 I had started tests for hormones etc literally a couple of days before she was conceived as I was convinced I couldn't get pregnant! I did wonder about buying in a tonne of pregnancy tests in the hopes it would tempt fate into getting my BFP this month :)
Oh dizzy :( bloomin unwelcome AF
trinity I'm only 8dpo and I may have tested for the last 3 days :/ i really should leave it now until New Years day but I know I'll end up sneaking downstairs again first thing to do another one :(
boo have you tried using ov sticks to get an idea when you ov? Would at least take a little of the guess work out of it :)
I'm sorry sammylou. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you but I know sometimes it just doesn't happen naturally :( what is your next step? Ivf/iUI? You'll get your precious baby, might take a bit more work but he/she will arrive one way or another :)

Hairstylisttoboris · 30/12/2014 09:32

Morning ladies AF has arrived damn her, 2 days early. Annoying for not getting a bfp and also because the whole of the rest of my cycle was 2 days late.

Updated stats for me,
Hair/Boris ttc#1, cycle 7 bfp due 22nd/23rd Jan

Onwards an upwards.

booboobeedoo11 · 30/12/2014 11:21

Hi Ladies..just checking in, not been around the last few days and lost the thread! Cd 18 for me, not been overly crazy lady this month with all the madness of Christmas but certainly been dtd lol. According to fertility friend app I was most fertile 22nd-26th but on another ovulation calculator (same input) it says 25th-29th, how can they be so different with the same info? Anyway, I fully intend to carry on having some fun with the other half and not do the whole 2ww symptom spotting this time cough until after the 1st at least until/if AF turns up around 10th jan. Not read right through as I've missed a lot but hope you all had a great time over Xmas and fingers crossed for a bus full of bfp's!!

MelonMelon · 30/12/2014 13:33

Morning all. AF has finally departed after 10 days (is usually 4!) So the bus is on the move! Actually a bit scared now the time has come, its impossible not to put so much pressure on myself to get pregnant first time and I'm such a stress head about everything in life I can't relax to save my life!

nicelyneurotic · 30/12/2014 14:15

Sorry to those of you who have had a visit from AF. It's rubbish Flowers

I am certain I ovulated yesterday but we didn't DTD. We did 48 hours before though so that may have worked. Who knows! I won't get my hopes up this cycle.

victoria401 · 30/12/2014 16:56

You could dtd today nicely just in case?

Cd11 today and my app says I've entered my fertile week. Don't usually ov til cd16 so don't want to wear dh out too early. He's feigning illness anyway at the mo. I think he wants to get out of a NYE party tough. No ewcm yet either. Do I have any cycle buddies due on Jan 18th??

Cariad2014 · 30/12/2014 17:16

Waves at Victoria. Glad you're joining us on this bus. I'm on cd12 at the moment, so not a million miles off where you are. My CBFM is still giving me 'highs' at the moment but assuming I ov around cd14 I'm likely to be due around the 16th.

Hope you've managed to soothe things over with your DH.

Rainy34 · 30/12/2014 17:19

Cariad - Just saw your last post and that you use a CBFM, this is the first most of using the old style and i normally ovulate on cd 13 i am on cd 9 at the moment and when i started testing on cd6 i have been having high since then, just wondered if this is normal?

Sparkly123 · 30/12/2014 17:27

Hi everyone! I've been a bit absent on here due to horrible Xmas illness! Yuk! Still feeling rotten, but determined this is our month! Wink hope everyone is ok and sorry to those with arrival of AF

Victoria hi! So are you going for this attempt before you start treatment? Fingers crossed for you!! I'm due a BFP on 15 Jan so near enough with you!

CD 12 for me today. DTD CD 10 and today... Usually by now on CD 12 I have a + on OPK but only faint line today so assuming tomorrow I will get a positive (hopefully!) haven't had much CM at all which is unusual and frustrating! Confused
Just need to go with it I guess! Was going with every other day but if I get two positive OPKs in a row not sure whether should just go for it on all days! Read a quick bit about sperm meets egg method which tells me I should dtd every other day up to + OPK then dtd day of +, day after, the next day, miss a day then dtd again! ----Hmm ShockConfused
