Well I'm just waiting for AF to show up and the timings mean I miss January all together. Anyone out there who would like to join me in trying for a BFP in February? :)

CoffeeTwo, 31, ttc #2, cycle 6, BFP due 10th February.

Reporting in from Jan bus after AF got me. Stats: PaddingtonFromPeru, age 38, cycle 3, ttc #2. BFP due 19 Feb.

Sweets27 · 23/01/2015 14:28

Welcome paddington! Sorry to hear you got kicked off the Jan bus, but hope you like it here - fx for a BFP in Feb!

WinterBabyof89 · 23/01/2015 14:33

Hoping Feb is your month paddington!

australopithecus · 23/01/2015 14:47

Hi paddington. Also late 30s, also trying for #2. Haven't had a period since DC #1 but cut down manically on bf-ing a few weeks ago and /think/ I may finally be ovulating soon! Or hope I will. Smile

PaddingtonFromPeru · 23/01/2015 15:24

Aww, what a lovely bus. Good luck to you all too. January was a rubbish month for me for a variety of reasons, so February better compensate!

PurdeyBirdie · 23/01/2015 17:29

Mummyofone, I'm oop Norf! Not Scotland though..that's abroad, innit.

nightandthelight · 23/01/2015 17:29

POAS, less than one hour later the first signs of AF appear (ruining my white lacy pants). The law of sod works!

Sweets27 · 23/01/2015 17:33

Congratulations, night - law of sod triumphs again, even if it did take a while. Now you know you're closer to fertile window and almost time to start DTD!

Hope everyone's had a good Friday, and have a lovely weekend.

PurdeyBirdie · 23/01/2015 17:48

Austral, I'm 43. How late-thirties is 'late', pliz?

Late thirties is still so young...

nightandthelight · 23/01/2015 18:15

Thank you sweets, am currently relaxing with Madmen and some whiskey feeling very happy :)

Happy weekend everyone!

mummyofonesofar · 23/01/2015 18:22

Purdey - haha! It very nearly was. Their independence would have meant I would have needed my passport to go shopping in Gretna!

night I am so pleased she has arrived!! Still waiting for mine. Determined to pounce on OH tonight so it's sure to come straight away!

nightandthelight · 23/01/2015 18:25

Thanks mummy fingers crossed yours arrives soon :)

PaddingtonFromPeru · 23/01/2015 19:52

Wave back Purdey and Austral. Yes, regretting leaving #2 so long as DH thinks 3 failures means I am in my dotage! Was lucky enough to be successful first time with my DD, so he's not used to waiting! You doing anything special to increase success? Any tips?

PurdeyBirdie · 23/01/2015 20:31

Pa! Success? What's that?? My ten month-old baby was conceived abroad using donor egg and my husband's sperm. I am now trying for a sibling but without the funds to have more IVF (boo!) I only have one functioning fallopian tube and I am older than Dot Cotton and so I believe my chances of conceiving are similar to those of the Pope being served with paternity papers.

PurdeyBirdie · 23/01/2015 20:33

..I am on Clomid (despite ovulating normally on my own) as I am desperate for more than one egg to be released per cycle (and on the side where my one functioning tube can pick 'em up!)

PurdeyBirdie · 23/01/2015 20:35

Tips: Co-enzyme Q10, omega 3 fish oil, maca root, lots of protein, the SMEP (Sperm Meets Egg Plan) and using opks. I am also beginning to see lots of women conceiving from sex the day after ovulation..

Hairstylisttoboris · 23/01/2015 20:47

Thats a good list purdey what does maca root do? Turn you into a beetle named Paul? How do you get clomid if you are ovulating is that a GP prescription or a private deal?

PaddingtonFromPeru · 23/01/2015 20:57

Purdey see you're a northern bird. Me too. Thanks for the tips. Have bought posh OPKs this month after the cheap ones claimed I didn't ov last month. FX for us both flies gritty northern flag!

ibeka · 23/01/2015 21:37

night, very pleased to hear AF has arrived and also nice to see the law of sod still works!

jss I know what you mean, we definitely peaked too early. Determined to keep OEDing at least until I know I've OVed.

Question for all you CM fans out there... anyone else only seem to get it in the evenings...?!

blondiewoowoo1 · 23/01/2015 21:54

Hello all
I'd like to join this bus if that's ok?
DH and I have decided to start trying for number 2 - we have a DS who is 3.
Umm, i think I'm due to ovulate Tues/weds and BFP due 10th Feb.
Have been reading the threads in the hope I can join soon!

UltimateDuck · 23/01/2015 22:29

Right ladies, the january bus are talking smack about us. Apparently we smell of wee! Shock

That's fighting talk!

UltimateDuck · 23/01/2015 22:30

Although I have a toddler so it might actually be true in my case.

mummyofonesofar · 23/01/2015 22:38

ultimate how dare they.... I put them right!

ibeka I get CM all day. Less at night time though.

UltimateDuck · 23/01/2015 22:46

Well done mummy although maybe we should squirt some fabreeze around just to be sure.

mummyofonesofar · 23/01/2015 22:51

Hmm maybe... Could try just having a wipe down to be sure.
