january bus!..anyone for the long journey to bfp!

[nuttynutter]

Hi everybody heres my story been ttcbaby no 1since sept. I have long cycles typically 42days! been with my partner 12yrs..just had af on monday so am out for this yr ..but positive thinking new year new luck..ne ladies in the same boat want to share support/stories x

It's definitely possible at 11dpo Expat and I had more overnight - but it's yet another BFN for me this morning

I best go reserve my spot on the Feb bus I guess, things are not looking hopeful

Anyone else POAS today?!! We really do need some better luck on this bus!

If you have got implantation bleeding then the soonest you will get a BFP is 6d post-implantation. Fingers crossed!

Can I hop on this bus? Bit late coming to the party but as AF approaching (12th Jan) I need some company to keep me sane!! 11dpo and second BFN today. Feeling a bit miserable and getting ready to hop on Feb bus immienently. No symptoms to swing it either way - have had mild cramping on and off since 7dpo and was hoping implantation cramps, but have been fooled before. Major pmt at 9dpo and was hoping pregnancy hormones but clinging on to straws.

Age: 33
TTC: #2
Trying for 11 months, 2mc along the way (July 15 and Nov 15)
Cycle day 28 - 11dpo

Hey Lucinda

Hello lovely ladies can I join?

I finally got a positive opk on cd23. I've been having long cycles since an ectopic pregnancy late in the summer. curly I hope you are doing okay, my ectopic was found early at 5 weeks and I didn't require treatment just monitoring whilst HCG returned to 0. It was still an awful experience though.

Keep turning into a crazy person during the 2ww so joining for some moral support

So, cd 27 today. Yesterday's spotting was literally nothing worth writing home about - dark as if start of af but just a couple of marks on a pad; nothing for probably 20 hours now and no other af symptoms. Not sure when/if I ov'd this month as temping has been sporadic and we decided not to OPK as it was just getting my hopes up. Had ewcm around Christmas Day for 3-4 days so could be 14-15dpo making this a bit late for ib - and wouldn't that appear more bright red/fresh bleeding than dark/old blood?

#confused by my body.com!!

kittyvet why do you say 6 days after implantation? I'd read 2-3 days afterwards?

Well this is a bit embarressing after my pity party yesterday.......

Its a squinter in the pic, but in real life its faint but THERE!

anna is that an OPK or a preg test?

Pregnancy test!

Congrats anna what was your TTC story?

Congratulations Annarose !!!!!! How many DPO are you again?

So pleased for you and that this bus has another BFP xx

Wellllll......

I conceived DS the minute I got my Mirena out. I was very smug thinking about how fertile I must be - now I know it was the progesterone from the Mirena still fizzing through my uterus. I'd never have conceived him "naturally".

No joy TTC #2. Had bloods done - turns out my natural progesterone was too low to ovulate. GP referred me to fertility clinic. All quite upsetting as I'm soon turning 41 so tick tock tick tock.

Anyway in the meantime I Googled ways to naturally increase progesterone cos I couldnt just sit around waiting for an appt. Have been guzzling 100mg VitB6 (increases prog) & 250mg Magnesium (decreases oestragen).

Have also been opk-ing like a mad woman to catch the right window.

And it seems to have worked!

Too early to count chickens though. Please God its a sticky bean.

I'm CD28 and I got a positive opk on CD17. So are we saying 10dpo?

Ah that's just superb for you, sounds like you've been on a journey! wishing you a healthy happy pregnancy xx

Congratulations anna! That's fabulous! Fingers crossed for sticky bean :)

My mistake celen - you are right-think I got confused but if you interested...the following from the impatient woman's guide to getting pregnant:
The average implantation time in the North Carolina study—detected by lab tests 100 times more sensitive than home tests—was 9 DPO. It takes two or three days after implantation for the embryo to make enough HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin, the pregnancy hormone) for even a very sensitive home pregnancy test to work. So that means the majority of women won’t get a positive until 11 DPO. Only 24percent of embryos implant before 8 DPO and thus might test positive by 10 DPO. And 13 percent of pregnancies don’t even show up on the supersensitive lab tests until 11 DPO or later, so they wouldn’t trip a home test until 13 DPO at the earliest. So to balance the use of expensive pregnancy tests with your own impatience, my advice is to start testing 10 days after you ovulate or 11 if you want to be more certain, preferably using first morning pee.

Ah yes I really think I should take the above advice kitty!! I've gone a bit nuts this month

Congrats Annarose!! Well done you

Congrats Annarose! Clearly a line there.

Not much to report here but I did get some EWCM today so I wonder if I'm ovulating? I don't use OPKs so that's my best clue to when I ovulate!

Congratulations Anna! Great news!

I'm CD25 (not sure when I ovulated but my cycles are usually 27-31 days). I did another first response test today. BFN :(

Do you think there's any way I'm still in with a chance?

I have given all of my pregnancy tests to DH to hide. I'm driving myself crazy with them. Will wait until I'm at least CD29 to do another one.

Congrats Anna, fabulous news!

My pink cm has now turned into AF, quite excited as it's my first since 2014, at least I'll know where I am now! Celen has yours stopped?

Ready for the Feb bus all guns blazing. Good luck ladies.

Hi ladies just checking in, sorry for radio silence; shitter of a working week! anna that's brilliant news and about time we had a BFP on this bus! celen sorry it looks like you've had a rough time of it lately, thinking of you. Can't believe I missed the virtual gin party - right up my street ! Sorry for those who have had the bitch visit already, and feel the pain of those waiting to OV or in the agonising 2ww! I'm still waiting to OV here - first weirdly crossing fingers for you that you will beat me to it!
Hi there to all newbies to the bus! Big fx that anna has just promoted what will now be a roll of BFPs!

AH sorry to hear AF has turned up english, best of luck on the feb bus, hopefully it'll be your month! I'm sure I'll see you on there very soon

vivi potentially yes you could be in with a chance this month, some people who have a late implantation don't get a positive on a test until 14dpo, it ain't over till it's over!

I reluctantly will probably be heading over to the feb bus, AF was due today according to my P tracker so no doubt she'll be swinging by tomorrow to ruin the party

xx

kitkat sounds promising - go get it on girl!
vivi hang in there - it isn't over until the bitch arrives, so every hope still. I went crazy on the POASing towards the end last month so hoping to be more restrained this time (she says naively).

toadie chin up my lovely I am fx for you that late AF could mean something very positive!
