All Aboard the February Bus!

[CoffeeTwo]

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.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back!! I think I may OV next weekend if my body kicks back into gear... We shall see. Just deciding what day to start again

Queen sorry to hear you haven't been so well!! But yeh at least the TWW has been quicker for you!!! Really hope it brings you a BFP but if not, like you say.. You have another chance! Fingers crossed though!!!

Welcome spinning and sparkly! So sorry to hear about the mc, sparkly, fx that Feb is your month

Queen let's hope you get the bfp on the first try!

I am cross this morning OH totally uninterested in DTD even though I'm pretty sure I am ovulating right now, and we haven't DTD since Thursday night. Humph. Turning into crazy lady...

Babybump hi! Thanks for the welcome. I'm just trying to work out my stats but then yep if you can add me to the seating plan that be great!!! V day--- Mmm... A BFP would be nice?! Ha. I'm not very well at the moment. I have from chronic health issues and unfortunately this mc has totally floored me so can barely put one foot in front of the other just now so will just see how it all goes before making plans. Have the dh bday before that too

Spinning noooo! Stupid stupid AF!! Sorry to hear that. February! It's all about February! I'm rooting for you.

Winterbaby sorry I can't help with cervix position I don't have any idea!!! Sure someone else here will be more informed though!

Nice to see you again, sparkly, even though the circumstances suck.

AF finally arrived after (possibly) my longest cycle ever. Off for a lovely walk in the Scottish winter sun to buy some yarn for baby clothes and maybe take my mind off (at least temporarily) my crazy uterus.

sweets pretty sure ds was a result of me turning into a crazy lady .. I had EWCM, ov time, ready to DTD, show him the best time of his baby making life, he rejected me, I sulked, went into the shower & then OH must have spent that shower time to reflect on how much of a dick he was being.. He caved & bfp 12 days later.. How romantic haha!
Ttc makes us crazy - all guilty of it at some stage or another

Thanks anyway sparkly xxx

Thanks Pulpi sorry to hear about stupid AF!! February!!! It's the month! I am in Bonnie Scotland too.enjoy your walk

sweets Thursday night was only 36hrs ago!! calm down!!

Aww thanks winterbaby, that's a great story to keep me positive!

And tango thanks, you are totally right. Must keep everything in perspective! Is Just we have quite a busy weekend so not sure when we'll next get the chance... But yes. Calm thoughts. This is only cycle 1 for me after all!

thanks sparkly and sweets . I will be testing early just on the off chance as it's DH's birthday on 31st so would love to give him a BFP test for his birthday! wishful thinking I expect though.

sweets I suggest plying DH with alcohol!

winter I love that story!

Right. Im doing this. My stats:

Sparkly123, age 30, TTC #1, Cycle 5 ( or do I count from 1 again after mc?!?!) my Sparkly BFP is due 13/14th Feb. If my cycle switches back to the norm...!

There. I'm back in the game!

AF still in the light spotting stage so don't think that I can count as CD1 yet right? Rather annoyingly it looks as though my bfp will be due while I am away visiting family without my DH. Will have to hold out for the 23rd Feb or test early on the 18th and hope for the best. Just waiting for AF to get herself into gear for now though :)

Welcome back Sparkly, so sorry to hear of your loss but fx crossed for a sticky bean this month!

Thanks night I was always told to count cd 1 as the day of proper red blood full flow. Hope that helps! Hope you can hold off to test- will give you a more accurate result too!!

Will do my best to hold off :) Definitely don't want to in a different country to my DH when I test! My family will just have to think I am crazy for a weekend :p being there will be a good distraction though :)

Thanks for the advice on CD1, think that will be tomorrow then. Am just glad that it is arriving :)

Pa ha! Everyone from t'January bus is too shy to come over here. Plus we don't feel we have owt to talk about 'cos we're, like, CD1 and stuff. My advice is to enjoy the peace before the nutters come except I'm already here

Boris, if you pop over to the Jan thread I've very recently posted a link about maca root, but generally speaking it is becoming the supplement for TTC-ers. This is because it is proving to have a real effect upon the endocrine system: pituitary and adrenal glands, which regulate oestrogen, progesterone and a host of other things. It is packed with protein and amino & fatty acids. The Journal of Human Reproduction reports results from rigorous testing which included excellent sperm improvement - astonishingly results from rat experiments showed improvement in sperm after only one day - and egg quality.

Have you told them we don't bite purdey? Also I am only just about to hit CD1 (as I believe is mummy) so they won't be alone :)

Purdey us maniacs have arrived. The lovely lot over here don't know what they have let themselves in for! Sorry in advance all!

Sweets - all I can say is... snap! No interest since thurs, when I basically had to sulk to get it...! Today I suggested it - No joy. Oh how the tables have turned - guess this is my pay back for years of a lower sex drive than him!!!

sparkly - sorry to see you back with us but welcome back aboard. FX for a lucky bus!

I need some CM advice - had EW/watery early in the week. Then nothing. Then positive OPKS thurs pm and last night (c.9pm both nights). Now creamy CM?! WTF is my body doing? Anyone like to hazard a guess?!! Dr. Purdey?!

Oh, and don't worry Jan folk - I think we may be maniacs over here already ;)

Ibeka, please can you post photos of those positive opks? That's if you still have them. Was the test line darker than the control? A true LH surge only lasts approx 4 hrs so I suspect your true surge happened Thursday (if indeed the test line was darker than the control) and you ov'd yesterday. Creamy cm is very common after the egg has been released and can be seen as ovulatory discharge. I would suggest your ewcm earlier in the week was warning you to get some rutting done.

Thanks Purdey. I binned one, the other my cat chewed up....! (Yuk. He's a very strange cat). Thurs was the same colour as the test line, yesterday's was darker. They are the cheap green sticks from Amazon.... Been temping and no rise yet. Went from a steady 36.25 most of the time since AF left down to 36.15 for two days (thu/fri) then up to 36.35 today but that surely is too small a difference to count?

australopitecus you're actually first in the queue for a seat but I don't have an AF date so you've not got an official seat sorry! (there's 12 other people in queue behind you waiting for a seat too :D) Want to give me a date and I'll pop you in? (you're 50th passenger so maybe there's a door prize??)

Damn. This is what I get for posting from my phone, mistakes! Welcome to everyone! Always love a bit of chatter so I don't express all the crazy to the DH

Ho ha baby I've done that nn-mess-up post before too! Lol.
Repeat info:
I have no date! sobs I haven't had an AF since DC was conceived! Menstruation discrimination! Alert the authorities! Call the newspapers! I will fight it to the highest court in the country (just as soon as I've had my coffee mind you. And brushed my teeth. And entertained the child. And cleaned the kitchen. Maybe tomorrow I'll take it to the highest court in the land. Or next week. Watch this space.)
Cut down bf-ing to almost nothing so the plan was to ovulate in January and the get a bfp in Feb. No luck yet BUT I've had a little faint opk line yesterday (and this morning too when i did one for good luck ) and some ewcm for last three days, so I'm DTD and hoping tomorrow brings an actual opk line. So in view of that, let's say Bfp expected 9ish February?

Oh and yes I'll take the door prize! As long as it comes with gin. And chocolate.

Baby, generally speaking you can expect there to be enough detectable HcG three days after implantation occurred.

Terry. I also stink of wee since a baby was ripped out of my vadge with forceps ten months ago destroying my pelvic floor in the process

Austral, how old is your tot? And are you deliberately ignoring my request for your exact age?

Winter, I checked the position of my cervix whilst having a poo the other day. I got a really good feel of its proper position - and it was pleasantly surprising to note how far apart the vagina is from the anus

Stats: Purdey, 43, 1 DC of 10 months - donor egg IVF. TTC #2 using largely AI as I can not be arsed with the pressure and the tedium.

Ibeka, you should take yesterday's stronger-than-the-control-line opk as your true surge. You can expect ov to occur between 24-36 hours later. Sex up to tonight, then, would be exceptionally well-timed.
