Thought I'd start the January bus, anyone else hoping for their BFP to welcome in the new year?

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.

I meant to write alarm lol.. Guess you knew what I meant tho 🙈 Me too I started the same day I came off! Cod-liver oil is also good X

Sharl2017 · 13/12/2016 16:44

We're both obvipusly determined for a bfp! 🙌 Ooh is it? I read not to take it while you're pregnant but wasn't sure about when ttc.

Amz26 · 13/12/2016 16:57

I am determined lol 🙈 I haven't heard that you shouldn't take it whilst pregnant as it's good to make sure you have enough omega 3 in your diet.. Does anyone else know about that?

DrRBannerx · 13/12/2016 17:02

I've not heard that amz and I'm an avid supplement researcher! I must look it up now..
I take fold acid cod liver oil and a baby aspirin a day (I have had a few mc in a row and it's supposed to thicken your lining and help with carrying successfuly) and also when pregnant I take pregnancy supplements and a cod liver oil, it came together in the conceive plus box so I take it x

It contains high levels of retinol forms vitamin a which you're meant to avoid when pregnant. I've found it on a couple of websites including nhs. Let me know what you find I'm intrigued!

babybell23 · 13/12/2016 17:45

Hi everyone,

Please can I jump on the bus?

Age: 32
TTC #1
Cycle 1
Just had implant taken out last week, currently having either breakthrough bleed or first period (I guess breakthrough bleeding)

Have downloaded Ovia and I can tell I am already going to be obsessive!

babybell23 · 13/12/2016 17:47

or should that be withdrawal bleed? Arg not up on the lingo yet!

Sharl2017 · 13/12/2016 17:55

Welcome babybell

I've not had any bleeding at all yet... impatient.

Amz26 · 13/12/2016 18:03

Welcome babybell I'm in a very similar position to you. Only thing is I haven't had any bleeding since coming off my pill :( I really think lots of women get obsessed they just don't admit it! I don't really think my OH knows the full extent to how obsessed I really am haha

babybell23 · 13/12/2016 18:05

Thanks. Yes, I have never been so pleased to see my period!

Fingers crossed yours arrives soon so you can start tracking!

We DTD on the day I had it taken out and I even managed to convince myself it might have worked first time - lol

Amz26 · 13/12/2016 19:35

Yes I bet! I'm hoping the same as you. babybell

ns1348 · 13/12/2016 21:53

Hi all,

Hope I'm not too late joining. Here are my stats:

30 (though 31 early Jan!)
TTC #1
CD 8
Cycle 2 post Mirena
Not sure when AF due as not convinced cycle regular length yet (though I did seem to ovulate last cycle)
Planning to test around 1/1 if no AF by then (though last cycle only 24 days!)

Last cycle I had spotting for a week before AF, so trying not to get hopes up for BFP yet, as cycle's not settled, but still kinda hoping all the same!

charley good to see you here: it's sounding good for you so fx you just tested too early yesterday.

It's nice that there are quite a few other new people on this thread, I appreciate that.

charley2016 · 13/12/2016 22:49

NS how lovely would it be to see a BFP on the first day of a new year Smile

I'm really trying to hold off using my FRER until Thursday or Friday but I have a feeling I may pee on it tomorrow.... and then spend my Thursday, Friday off being miserable and getting drunk haha!

Paperdove87 · 13/12/2016 23:07

Hello everyone joining the bus!

Amz how much folic acid are you taking? I get some as part of my regular vit but wondering if I should up it. I've heard about the Vit A thing in cod liver oil as well. Was just thinking about it today in the pharmacy - looked at the bottle label and it mentioned Vitamin D but not Vitamin A so not sure. Anyone got any more idea?

Sharl hope everything settles down soon. Must be frustrating when you're raring to go!

London if only it was as simple as your DH's suggestion! Would be so much easier. I'm also re-learning about cycles etc, but it seems to be the opposite to school where everything was about not getting pregnant. They way they talk sometimes you expect to get pregnant by a man so much as looking at you!

Charley keep us posted if you do test! Got my fingers crossed.

I'm using Ovia and it says my FW ended yesterday, but I haven't had a positive OPK so bit worried I'm not ovulating. I am going through a long cycle phase at the moment so determined not to test until AF due. See if that will last...

helenharry · 13/12/2016 23:37

Going to jump on the bus as well if that's okay.

Age 32
TTC #1
Cycle 2
CD 6

Trying not to get too obsessed with it all but completely out of my nature not to!!

Amz26 · 13/12/2016 23:50

Welcome Ns and Helen

paper I'm taking 400ug a day of folic acid.. how much are you taking do you know? X

Sharl2017 · 14/12/2016 06:46

Thank you paper I'm feeling much more positive today but I've not got out of bed yet 🙈

I take the same amount of folic acid as amz I do wonder about the cod liver oil now I'm going to have to do some more research into feel like I've thrown a spanner in by mentioning it

Fx for you charley

babybell I'm the same, dtd and hoping for the best though I know there's little chance until my cycle returns

Welcome ns & helen

charley2016 · 14/12/2016 07:43

Well my periods due Friday and there was absolutely nothing on a FRER today so I'm going to just take it as a no this month and wait put my period I think.

HOHOHOvariesBeforeBrovaries · 14/12/2016 08:54

Sorry about BFN charley

This thread has reminded me that I need to start taking folic acid. I didn't take any during my pregnancy with DD Blush

Amz26 · 14/12/2016 10:39

Haha yeah you Sharl I'll do some research too 👍good to double check anyway 😀
Sorry to hear that charley Are you usually like clockwork with your AF?

Paperdove87 · 14/12/2016 11:32

charley you're not out till af arrives! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Smile

krakentoast · 14/12/2016 12:04

Hi everyone, can I join?

Age 27
TTC #1 (though see below...)
CD 9
Cycle 1
AF due Jan 3

Had a termination many years ago after a split condom incident combined with a MAP fail (flukiest fluke ever I guess, and so the wrong time) so now half of me thinks "Well, it happened by accident once so it should be easy this time" but the other half thinks "What if I ruined my one chance?"

So we will see how this month goes and try not to freak out!

DrRBannerx · 14/12/2016 13:47

How's everyone feeling today? What's people's test dates? So I can get excited for who's next?! I'm testing 31St/12 x

Amz26 · 14/12/2016 14:46

Welcome kraken I'm sure you haven't ruined your chances! It wasn't the right time for you so you can't live you life thinking ''What if'' but I do understand why you would think like that 😀

DrRB- I'm going to test 23rd as I'm still not sure of my cycle, I could of been one of the lucky ones who fall pregnant as soon as I come off the pill 👍 what about you? X

Skippy1000 · 14/12/2016 15:37
