Thought I'd start the January bus, anyone else hoping for their BFP to welcome in the new year?
My stats are -
Age 23
TTC #2
CD 10
Cycle -- hard to put a number on, been trying a year but have had two losses, 5w and 12w so not sure where to count from.

Welcome Charley and user

Well let's see what the next 6 months brings drRB and hope you feel better soon.

Haha at paper I had the same chat with my OH and he said that's TMI!! He's a little more chilled about the TTC situation 🤔

Sharl2017 · 13/12/2016 07:33

Please can I jump on the busSmile
Only came off the pill on 10/12 after 8 years and can already tell I'm going to be impatient.
Doing my own head in already hopefully January is a lucky month for lots of us Flowers

welcone shae

How you feeling being off your birth control, have you had your withdrawal bleed yet? I'm sort of in the same boat as you I only stop my pill over 2 weeks ago.

drRB.. Me too! It's to early to worry to much so let's to hope it's all fine! How you feeling today xx

Londonexhile · 13/12/2016 08:03

Hi everyone!

Is it ok to be on 2 buses? Im sort of straddling the 2!

My stats
31
TTC #1
Cycle 3 post microgynon
CD10 today
AF due 1/1

Used OPKs last month but still BFN - had a little cry as our next door neighbours brought their perfect new little girl home the same day!

Gearing up for my fertile week which should be from Thursday ish - going to start with OPKs from Wednesday.

Also bought some preseed - DH is going to think I'm mental but he's pretty excited too & loving the regular DTD!!

Good luck everyone!! & thanks for the new thread DrB!

Amz26 · 13/12/2016 08:35

Welcome london

Yeah of course the more the merrier!

Did you manage to get a possitive OPK last month london? I know my OH is really excited too!! He asks me everyday if I'm ovulating haha.. Bless him x

DrRBannerx · 13/12/2016 09:03

No worries London you can hop on as many as you wish, last month I was on four!
And thanks for the well wishes girls, better today just chesty, seemed to get over the worst, so let's get this show on the road Grin
Do I recognise some users from December bus?

DrRBannerx · 13/12/2016 09:07

And I deffo had a very positive opk last cycle, where the control line was hardly visible, but alas.. It wasn't to be! They say even if you get everything right there's still only 30% of getting pregnant (think it's 30.. Or is it 28) urgh

Aw user a BFP would be an amazing way to kick off 2017!

I'm rubbish at working out months - would babies conceived this month be August or September babes?

DrRBannerx · 13/12/2016 09:36

September, I ovulate next Tuesday and that's a mid September due date x

OP posts:
OvariesForgotHerPassword · 13/12/2016 09:38

Thanks DrRB. The thought of being pregnant all through summer makes me a bit twitchy but so worth it!

DrRBannerx · 13/12/2016 09:38

I would be due 9th Sept, but if you've already ovulated (beginning of Dec) then it will be late august x

OvariesForgotHerPassword · 13/12/2016 09:44

Ah I'm ov December 18th, BFP due 2nd Jan :) I'm nervous. Didn't even realise I was pregnant until 7 weeks last time so first time properly TTC!

DrRBannerx · 13/12/2016 09:50

Yours would be due on the 11th September, if you have a normal cycle. I'm really hoping this is our month! Trying everything but my first pregnancy I didn't do anything and it just happened! So odd x

OvariesForgotHerPassword · 13/12/2016 10:01

I've got everything crossed for you :)

Amz26 · 13/12/2016 10:16

Let's see what the next few months brings DRRB before I get to worried! It's always the way when you're not trying it happens. A lot of my friends have fallen pregnant like that 😄 happy accidents!!

Haha Paper i had that convo too, it's lucky they're into it tho! Maybe next time I'll skip some info tho 🤔
Welcome user

Sharl2017 · 13/12/2016 10:33

Thank you Amz26. I've had massive headaches and feeling mardy with everything but trying to stay positive.
Not had a withdrawal bleed or period. Just want it out the way so I can crack on ha.

How have you found being off the pill?

Londonexhile · 13/12/2016 11:00

I did get a positive OPK last month AMZ - didn't in cycle 1 so possibly didn't ovulate in my first post pill cycle.

My DH is very keen but has a fairly loose understanding of biology - last month I was Sad as I thought AF was coming and he was like don't worry, we'll just DTD again tonight... Hmm!!

Although I had to do some googling when we first started as can't remember from school & been on the pill a long time - spent so long trying not to get pregnant!!

I am/was on the December bus DrB

Londonexhile · 13/12/2016 11:07

Sorry, DrRB not DrB!!

Amz26 · 13/12/2016 11:39

Hope you feel better soon shar I heard that's a common thing feeling rubbish after coming off! The Only thing I've found is I'm not as hungry as I used to be, which is a good thing as I have a big appetite! I've been off for nearly 2 weeks but I haven't had a withdrawal bleed just a few pains in my stomach, not much as happened yet :(

Ok London that makes sense.. Maybe first bleed was the withdrawal bleed? Not your AF. I know It strange, I keep thinking I've forgotten to take my pill 🙈

Sharl2017 · 13/12/2016 11:54

I'm at my desk at work ready to cry. I think (hope) AF might be on the way that or without the pill I'm just an emotional mess Hmm haha Amz26 hopefully it's on its way for us both .. or we're those magical people who become pregnant without even having a period or withdrawal bleed Halo

Amz26 · 13/12/2016 12:02

Oh no that must be horrible! Hopefully your hormones should sort themselves out soon!.. Omg that would be AMAZING if we did get a BFP!! Shar 😄

Londonexhile · 13/12/2016 12:14

AMZ I wasn't even that great at remembering to take my pill!!! No happy accidents though...

I've replaced forgetting to take my pill with forgetting to take my folic acid tablets...!

Sharl2017 · 13/12/2016 12:37

Hopefully amz26 it's horrendous at the minute. Are you taking folic acid?

Amz26 · 13/12/2016 14:45

Haha London.. Set an alrem that always helps me! Yes Shar are you? X

Sharl2017 · 13/12/2016 15:43

Yes started taking the day I came off the pill amz26

Does anyone know of anything else that can help when TTC? Complete newbie over here.
