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 :)

It's horrible when you're waiting to ovulate isn't it! I've only been watching fir the last 2 months as I was on the pill to regulate my hormones etc. I wasn't sure on the first month but thought it was CD19 and tested again this month and definitely was CD19 but I don't seem to get the ewcm or anything so I think I miss out on the full experience! Are you using an app to monitor your cycle or anything?

I'm using 3...for shame! I'm a bit of a data fanatic and wanted to compare the calculations on all 3 :)

I'd been using an app called Period Tracker to monitor my cycle and used it before ttc. It's not very comprehensive and you have to pay to use the fertility feature, so I've been using it less.

My favourite has been glow, and I've been using it to monitor temps and signs since August and have noticed a pattern.

I started using Fertility Friend recently, just because it seems quite comprehensive and also produces graphs (I'm a bit of a data nerd) and it's interesting to compare results.

I may be doing too much, but I like to keep track of things mainly so I have something to take to a doctor if I need to!

Ha ha, I'm on my 3rd one :) I used 'my days' I think it was called, the fertility friend but I didn't realise it was only a free trial :( I'm now using Glow which is my favourite, it's seems simpler than the others and seems to be tracking my stuff correctly :) I'm (diagnosed) OCD and data and lists etc are my favourite. I love having something to record every day ha ha!

Thanks for the tip about Glow, ladies. I've just downloaded it and it looks great.

No worries middles it's my favourite one :) I tried Ovia too but it didn't feel right, it's supposed to be really good though.

Hello! Can I join?
We have needed to wait until we start trying until January to wait to qualify for maternity pay. It has felt a long time as started to think about trying for baby number 2 in January of this year but moved house and changed job in between.
Ttc #2 I am 32 cycle 1 due approx jan 23rd.

My AF has just arrived.... 4 days early?! Hoping it's not going to throw out my fertile window too much as it was going to be in perfect timing for once hubby was recovered from his op :/ next AF may be due at the end of December/Beginning of January :/ knowing my luck we'll miss my fertile times this month now :( booooo. Oh well, we can still do the practising ;) oh that means I can update my stats now !

AF arrived today meaning I am well and truly on the January bus. Hopefully I will ovulate during the Christmas holidays so I actually have the energy (and time) to give it a damn good shot.....thought I had this month too!

Season'a greetings ladies! Can I have a seat please?

I am 34 ttc#1 since the summer. Currently on CD4 and prepping up with OPK kits and got a new temp probe through the post today. So all packed for the January bus!!
Any tips for BFP? Started taking evening primrose oil to help and taking my multi-vits. So hopefully Santa will send the stork out!
Hope everyone is looking forward to a festive fertile Xmas SmileGrinSmile

DH had his vasectomy reversal yesterday and had good signs from one side (going into it in further detail would be a tad tmi!) 13 days until we can DTD :) all going well with the healing etc at least :)
AF is due between 29/12 and 4/1 (my cycle is normally 29 days but this month it was only 25 days long!)

Hi ladies

My husband and I got married in April. We've decided to start TTC in feb 2015, I'm so excited!!
I came off the pill a year ago to enable my cycle to settle and in the last few months I have been tracking it and trying to become attuned to my body!!
Am thinking of following SMEP to maximise chances!
I'm 24 and husband is 27. First baby for both. Both fit and well, non smokers.

Ladies may I please have a one way ticket to bfp joy world please?

Af arrived and I'm feeling glum. I could do with some company for the journey, if you can put up with me. I'm 35, off the pill since May and properly (full on obsessively) TTC since August. I've desperately wanted a family for much longer but due to issues this is the first proper chance I've had to try.

Can I ask for a straw poll: opks - do you favour Internet cheapies or full on clear blue expensive ones? Thanks!
