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 :)

Errm I'm confused! I got up in the night for a pee, and not knowing the time I collected a sample incase I didn't need to go when I got up (turns out it was 1am). I tested that and FMU from 7am both negative.

Howeve the bleeding / spotting has stopped. Not sure if I should drink tonight now

squiish · 31/12/2014 12:48

marmite that's frustrating! Is AF due?
I'm in CD 13 today and had no smileys yet on CB OPK but I think I ovulate later, more around 18-21. I only have enough sticks to last to CD19 though Shock so will see how it goes.
How do you cope with planning ahead? I'm a nightmare for saying no I can't do that (just in case) but I feel a bit like I'm putting myself on stop while I wait for a miracle Sad

Bovnydazzler · 31/12/2014 13:13

marmite hope you're out of limbo soon, so difficult to think about anything else when it is uncertain what's going on.
squuish I'd bite the bullet and order some more opks to see you through, Amazon one step cheapies or even clear blues will get to you in time if ordered today.

I'm 8dpo and invoking the law of Sod and have applied for a half marathon this March. I did it last year and started TTC immediately after, I didn't sign up for another race all year 'in case' I got pregnant. Don't want to waste another year putting my life on hold. Best case scenario I get pregnant and lose entry fee. Otherwise... I better get training!

Sparkly123 · 31/12/2014 13:53

Hi everyone!will read back in a bit hope all ok.

Nye! 2015 is almost here -the year of the BFPs!!

I'm confused! Confused CD 13 today- always get a smile by today.. I used internet cheapie and CB ov predictor and there are def lines on both but no smile?! Now unsure what to do as dtd CD 10 and yesterday, so don't know whether to wait for possible smile tomorrow or do today too to be sure! It's a tough one. Anyway had same issue with CB smiles? Every other month they have been dead on, no problems.

thenailgirl · 31/12/2014 14:20

On cd 12/13 I gave up as I was only getting the circle , I then woke up and for some reason I thoght I'd check and I got a smiley face , just keep checking , I'm sure that smiley face is just around the corner

Maths88 · 31/12/2014 14:55

Hi Spam

Here is a pic that I've made black and white. I posted it on the December bus too.

Trying not to get too excited until Friday when I'll retest

The January 2015 bus is warming up. Not setting off for awhile but feel free to step on:)
Blimeygirl · 31/12/2014 14:56

Hi can I be added to the stats please next time! Blimeygirl, 24, ttc #1, cycle 2, BFP due not sure!

AF was due last Monday and still not turned up but plenty of bfns so definitely feel like I should be on the January bus! Good luck ladies let's bring on those bfps!

Nervous83 · 31/12/2014 15:07

Just read quickly over everyone's updates but wanted to catch you all before tomorrow to say hope all have a lovely evening and enjoy the celebrations for what 2015 will bring.

Folic Acid makes me queasy too, I take mine in the evening and found it helps.

Good luck to all those DTD at the moment

I am flipping between Ovia and Glow as they are both easy to use and seem to be giving me the same information. They do take a few months to settle with your cycles as you input things and you need to remember to input things every day.

Updated stats:

CD6 31y/o TTC #1, first proper cycle trying, AF/bfp due 22nd Jan

Sparkly123 · 31/12/2014 15:29

Nervous same to you! Good luck with your dtd over the next while

Maths definitely see a line there... Fingers crossed for you!!!!

Rainy thanks I'll keep checking!! May be because I haven't been well and ov later. Who knows! Think although we dtd yesterday will do again today just incase!! How are you doing?

Genni good luck this month!

Sorry to hear AF arrived Spinning* ... 2015 is your year!

All best wishes to everyone, trying to look on tonight as an exciting start to the next year... BFPs all round!!

Marmite27 · 31/12/2014 15:51

The spotting has completely gone now, so no idea what that was about. It started yesterday and lasted 24 hours near enough.

AF was/is due today. CD30, 13 DPO. OV confirmed by OPK.

Will be leaving work shortly. Have a great evening all, will check in tomorrow at some point.

spinningirl10 · 31/12/2014 16:52

Hope everyone has a fantastic New Years Eve and plenty of WineWine

Genni, thank you, I'm quite sure it will be the year for your bfp as wellWineThanks

Rainy34 · 31/12/2014 17:37

Sparkly - I have now picked up my husbands cold and feel rough, my clear blue fertility machine gave me a peak this morning and I also have loads of ewcm, think I have the evening primrose oil to thank for that , playing the cold down in the hope we can dtd , as I don't want to waste an opportunity , had a little sleep so they has helped a bit, Just keep going with the sticks you will get your smiley face

Wishing everyone a happy new year and hope 2015 gives us all our babies that we are hoping and dreaming off!!! Xx

Sparkly123 · 31/12/2014 17:45

Aw that sucks Rainy!! I've literally been in bed all the hols since Xmas day with horrible cold/flu type thing and constant nausea! Yuk. So I hear you!!! What is the evening primrose for? I'm clueless! I'm taking no supplementation at all Blush
We are now staying in tonight and chilling out, a strange NYE as we love going out but hey ho! I almost feel it's easier for us to dtd as we are doing home insemination so no matter how I feel we can do the AI successfully. So I really Feel for you, Hope you can gather up some energy for later... It will all be worth it for that special gift of a BFP in A couple of weeks!! Sending positive thoughts and get well wishes to you FlowersFlowers

Rainy34 · 31/12/2014 17:55

Sparkly - i am taking the Evening primrose oil to help balance my hormones as i get spotting days before af is due and it is also very good for producing more vaginal discharge, which it certainly has this month, you only take it from first day of af till ovulation as it can cause miscarriage after ovulation ,

We are staying in too tonight , its always this time of year that we end up catching colds and flu, don't feel too bad now, just dosing up on parceptamol , have you done home insemination before? x

Sparkly123 · 31/12/2014 18:05

Rainy interesting re evening primrose, I have a number of health conditions and react very sensitively to absolutely everything! Ha. But may look into it. I get spotting 6-7 days before AF too and got app to discuss this with GP next week as fertility clinic had mentioned may be an idea to have a couple tests done with regards to it. Glad that the Ev primrose helped you this month!!
We have done AI from the start.. This is our 4th cycle now.. Although the first, we had no idea what we were doing!! Due to a lot of reasons but mainly my health problems so fertility clinic suggested TTC this way for us. I really really hope this is our month! And you too of course...!!... Glad oaracetemol helping! Grin

Hairstylisttoboris · 31/12/2014 18:21

Just wanted to say happy new year to one and all. May this be our year for bfp's for everyone xx

Sparkly123 · 31/12/2014 18:22

HNY Boris Xmas Grin

spamanderson · 31/12/2014 18:26

Maths I DEFINITELY see a line there, it's a faint but it's there! First response test by the looks of it? They're probably the most reliable ones too :) Eeek fingers crossed! Give it a couple of days and test again and I bet there'll be a line there even DH can see! Eeek how exciting!!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2015 is a wonderful year for you all and brings much wanted BFPs. It's our year ladies :D
Whatever you're doing tonight, have a great time and be safe!
I feel I've tempted fate enough, I'd had smoked salmon, soft cheese, alcohol and pate :D so come on BFP! The dds want McDonalds for dinner so that's our fancy NYE sorted :)

Happy new year everyone, hope you all have fun this evening, going out, having a few drinks or staying home dtd :-) let 2015 be everyone's year

MelonMelon · 31/12/2014 19:47

Happy New year everyone! Enjoy it as next year we'll all have newborns keeping us awake Smile

Rainy34 · 31/12/2014 20:54

Hope you get to the bottom of the spotting in your appointment Sparkly, i went to the doctor about it and she referred for an internal scan but everything came back clear, she did also say the spotting would not stop me conceiving , she was not overly concerned with the spotting just that the contraceptive pill was strong and that it may be taking my body to get back to normal with my hormones , so that is why i am trying the evening primrose oil and vitamin b 6 and b complex as these all help to balance hormones, last month was the first month of being on the EP and b vitamins and it was no way as bad,

Pigriver · 31/12/2014 21:58

Well 2014 is definitely ending on a whimper. AF looks like she us on her way with a bit of spotting starting today. Worse than that (if poss) is that cystitis raised it's ugly head at about 2pm today. Sat on sofa with hot water bottle and liquids on the verge of tears with pain Sad.
Happy new year to everyone and let's hope we all get out BFP in 2015!
