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.

Congratulations 88claire!!

3rd day in a row of flashing smiley (High fertility) on clear blue ovulation tests today, was hoping for static one today!

Kskifred · 02/01/2017 08:17

So i did a FRER this morning and got a faint but there + can't believe it! 11dpo today so on tenterhooks for a cpl of days hoping af doesn't wash away excitement but feeling hopeful

Mummyme87 · 02/01/2017 08:33

CD28, 15dpo. AF has not turned up like I thought she would over night and having checked cervix again, it is high and closed again and no brown discharge anymore. Sharp pain in left groin but that's it. Did a boots strip test this am... I think it's negative but I am sure if I squint the right way I can see a thin faint line. Still expecting AF today

Mummyme87 · 02/01/2017 08:33

Think I've developed line eye

Congrats Claire and tentative congrats kskifred (keep us posted)!!

bluebell17 · 02/01/2017 09:47

Lindsay I think a lot of people in here use ovulation predictor kits (OPKs). I personally don't at this stage and have no idea if and when I'm ovulating so I've just ordered some OPKs. I think the doctor can tell by blood tests too but from what I've read I don't think they do this until you've been TTC for a while. I'm not 100% though.

HettyB · 02/01/2017 10:00

Can I join you please? DH and I decided over Christmas to ttc#2 - we have a 15mo DD already.

Age: 30 (DH is 37)
TTC #2
CD: 21
Cycle: 1

I'm currently in the 2ww and the suspense is killing me! With DD we didn't really try (just were rubbish at preventing) so this is all new to me!

Used OPKs as I wasn't sure if I was ovulating after stopping bf but had a positive on day 15 and pretty sure I felt OV on day 16.

Rose280187 · 02/01/2017 10:07

Hi everyone,
Had 2 mmc in the course of 2 months, had a month break and have now got a bfp.
3rd time lucky I guess... my boobs are bigger and sore already, tmi!!! Seems weird to have symptoms so early on!
If this one doesn't work out at least I know there's light at the end of the tunnel and will be investigated! 💫 Spreading baby love

Kskifred · 02/01/2017 10:19

boobs are very sensitive today which is not norm, i never really have sore chest even around af, like 2 bags of sand normally Grin

Londonexhile · 02/01/2017 10:25

So I might tentatively be giving my ticket for the back of the bus up....

AF due yesterday / today. Was sitting on my hands about POAS again but I put the FRER from the other day in my drawer rather than in the bin as didn't want to get DH's hopes up seeing it by accident...and this morning I saw it & glimpsed a faint line...maybe I didn't wait long enough....

Did a clear blue test that came with my monitor thing and it came up straight away!! Didn't manage to get a picture of the monitor screen in time but here's the stick...works just like a normal test...

So....aaaah. What do I do now?! ConfusedConfusedShock

January bus anyone?
Kskifred · 02/01/2017 10:53

congrats! Grin

Lindsaymarie89 · 02/01/2017 11:20

Bluebell, thanks! i did buy an ovulatiom kit but didnt know whether to wait till Af arrives and start a fresh new month.....if AF arrives!

powerpuffer · 02/01/2017 11:38

Jumping on board from the December bus as AF has got me. Hello to all the old names!

Stats:
TTC no. 1
Cycle 4
Age 27
AF due 30th Jan but will test a few days before

I had flu for 3 weeks in December so hoping that now I am recovering, this will be my month. Good luck ladies!

Wingingit88 · 02/01/2017 12:00

I'm so confused! I was pretty sure I ovulated around the 26th and I'm currently around cycle day 28 (5-6 week cycles pcos). I had spotting in the 24th which I thought could be ovulation related then recon 25,26,27 which turned to creamy around 28-29 (sorry tmi) but now I have ewcm again. I was hopeful this morning as have awful backache, feeling yucky/tired/bloated but now I don't know what's going on

88claire · 02/01/2017 12:31

Wow lots of new years good news! Thinking of everyone trying or in the two week wait Flowers

Jellybabie3 · 02/01/2017 13:03

Congrats for the BFPs!!

I am officially on day one of the tww. Confused

OvariesForgotHerPassword · 02/01/2017 13:53

Congrats BFPs!

I had a very faint BFP yesterday. BFN today and heavy bleeding, very painful cramps. I had a CP four years ago this month and this feels very similar so I'm guessing that's what's happened. A few days of feeling sorry for myself ahead and then pick ourselves up and try again. AF due end of Jan so I'll stick on this bus.

BertieBotts · 02/01/2017 13:54

OMG, what a lucky bus!! Grin

I am so impatient now. Hurry up ovulation and TWW. And DH getting home from work. We have been uncharacteristically active and I don't want to break our streak Blush

Babycarmen · 02/01/2017 15:01

Congrats everyone on bfps!! Hoping I will be as lucky soon.
BFN this morning, probably too early to test but I couldn't resist. I think I'm about 9dpo but I don't actually have a clue! Came off implant on 8th December and not so much as a withdrawal bleed. Will be half thankful if AF does show up so at least I know I'm getting back to normal!
Sore boobs for the past few days but that could mean anything Confused

ttcnovice · 02/01/2017 15:40

Lots of lovely BFPs! Congratulations to all!

I'm on CD16 today (the same cycle day I ovulated last month) but no signs at all of a positive OPK. Starting to think I may not ovulate at all this month as my cycles are pretty regular at 28 days, so surely I wouldn't ovulate much later than this? Not sure what's going on so feeling quite confused and a bit down today Sad.

MissyJones83 · 02/01/2017 17:20

lindsay welcome!
I came off pill October and trying to figure out the same about ovulating. I tend to get pains when I ovulate but since coming off pill the pains are later than I would usually expect so I'm going to start taking my temp as soon as this round AF turns up!
