Hopping off the December bus and onto the January bus!
Age 33
DD 2.5
Cycle 3
CD 1
ETD 18th January (sooooo long away!!!)
Hoping January is kind to us all xx

Hi all. Hopping over from the December bus following the unwelcome appearance of AF today. Was really hoping Mother Nature might give me an early pressie in the form of a BFP but apparently not.

Name: spots
Age: 31 (for another 4 days...)
TTC: #2 (1 DS born August 2013)
Cycle: 13
ETD: 1st Feb

Even though I probably won't test until the very end of the month it'd be nice to hang out on the bus if that's ok. We are probably moving into fertility referral territory in the new year having already started the process in the autumn. I have polycystic ovaries and long irregular cycles so never look to test before cd42 as my cycles are usually at least 35 days.

Hello sheep and spots. The mulled wine and party poppers are at the back of the bus. Welcome to the party no one wants to attend!

I feel seriously shit today. DS spent all weekend being sick but thankfully is right as rain today. However... I now have horrible tummy cramps, aches and shivers. I've eaten one piece of toast all day and am planning to have Ben & Jerrys for tea. Still managed two shags though, how's that for commitment? Cant let my Mum's sacrifice go to waste.

Sorry AF arrived Kat, spots and sheep and welcome to bus.

I'm impressed mama - compete determination Got a peak on my CBFM today at CD13, pre the B6 it was more like CD17-19 so big improvement. Best crack on with the SMEP, which I agree is bloody exhausting! DH is alway up for it, but I'm totally done in by 9pm.

Oooh, that's interesting Curly, I might give B6 a whirl next month. I usually ov between day 16-21 I think.

I've been taking it since October mama and was really surprised it's worked this quickly** and so well. It's making my carpel tunnel a million times worse but hey ho, I'll put up with it out of desperation!

The things we do for the cause!

Hi all!

I'm brand new here (though been doing the terrible deed of googling things so have read mumsnet posts for awhile!)

TTC number 1
Been off depo since January after 2 years so don't know how that's affected me only got my periods back in September!

But I wonder if I can join you all on the January bus? I just finished my period today, so a whole nother cycle to try in (wahoo not)

Good luck to everyone on the bus

Hello to askprayhope

Morning everyone else on the bus too.

I'm having a pampering morning at the hairdressers then dh is going to take smallest chops out and I can have the house to myself for a while, which never happens!

4dpo today and I noticed my boobs were a bit tender when I ran upstairs. Maybe that's just cause they're big though

How's everyone else doing?

Hi everyone! One week into the 2ww and I'm so close to caving and PingOAS. I'm not working as much over Christmas so I've nothing to to distract me! Help!

Nooooo don't do it bindi!! Or at least not for another 3 days

at your boobs wee

Don't do it Bindi, step away from them sticks!! If you've conceived, it won't show yet anyway!

Welcome askpray

Stay away bindi!!

I'm feeling a bit confused. Not sure if I've actually ovulated yet. Anyone chart and fancy deciphering mine?! I had a positive OPK on Thursday and assumed I ovd on Friday with a temp spike but temps been all over the place really. I've had a really bad cold and have been coughing quite a bit in the morning the last couple of days and I was very feverish on Thursday (cd13) which is assumed explained my high temp then. I haven't been taking any ov sticks since Friday (negative). Opinions welcome!

Haha thanks I've talked myself down!! Last month I was so sure I was PG - agonising sore boobs, sickly feeling, very sore (what I thought was) implantation cramps and nope. This month no symptoms at all so I don't think I am I just like Peeing on a stick!!

And sorry Soda I don't know much about temping - someone will be along soon to help!

Hold off bindi! I would be tempted to test Xmas day though

Celen that diagram is great. Amazing to see how it travels along, it really takes it time getting down the tube.

I've not charted Soda so not much help sorry. Have you had ewcm? That's my biggest indicator really. I guess you need to be hydrated though to get it which may be difficult with a cold.

Managed to DTD before the nursery pick up today. Bless DH he cycled mega quick back from work to squeeze in a quick shag!

Does anyone know if I can manually add my ovulation date to Fertility Friend? It's ignored my positive OPK because I started temping but abandoned it on the nights I only had 1 hour and 3 hours sleep. I want it to count my DPO for me...

That picture is so interesting Bindi. The whole process is so fascinating.

My step dad died at the weekend so I don't hold out much hope that This will be our month as I was ovulating this weekend and for obvious reasons haven't managed to dtd, apart from Thursday.

Worst week of my life. :(

So sorry to hear that Pug, especially at this time of year. Thinking of you and your family

Celen that's a great diagram! I'm going use it to remind me why there's not point testing early when I'm ready to test! I might be stupid but I don't think I ever realised the egg was fertilised in the tube. I'm realising how little about my own biology I actually know!

mama you can tell FF to disregard a temp on the main data entry page. It's a small tick box under where you enter the tenp. That should sort it out. You can tell it to change the way it calculates ovulation in the settings but don't know if there is a manual override.

Thanks Kitty, that worked a treat. I am now officially 1DPO!

Hello, been a lurker for months now and would love to jump on the January bus! A bit about me:

Ttc #1
Age 34
Been ttc since March 2014, fell pg June 2015 but mc at 5 wks.
IBD for years, on various drugs for it and it's thankfully well controlled. No proper evidence to suggest that the drugs affect conception/pregnancy but the jury is definitely still out on that one. Docs seem encouraged that I managed to fall pregnant before though, so am still hopeful.

Big hello to all ttc and fingers crossed for success in 2016 xxx

Hello all, thank you for being so welcoming!

weechops that sounds like bliss!

Hi bindi I know how hard it is not to poas. I find if I can't take a pt because it's too early I just keep doing cheap opks! Terrible habitb

Hi soda sorry I cannot be any help. I haven't yet started charting, just opks. It's very interesting though - if January isn't kind to me I'll be doing it in February for sure!

Hi pug I know we have never spoken before but I wanted to say sorry for your loss
