January bus anyone?

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.

Ovia told me to test today and BFN. Gutted. Boobs are still painful. Will just have to sit and wait for AF to turn up I guess!

Anna2006 · 06/01/2017 10:31

Really sorry on your BFN Carmen 🙁 Any chance of a positive still in a few days?

I'm only 4DPO and wait is killing me. Good news though I start my new job on Monday after being off work for 8 weeks as I was made redundant. So looking forward to having a focus and stop obsessing over baby stuff!!

BertieBotts · 06/01/2017 11:14

Woohoo, ovulation confirmed and I'll be testing on the 16th which is our wedding anniversary :) Perfect!

Babycarmen · 06/01/2017 11:24

Maybe, but I'm not hopeful. Will wait a few days and see.

Bubblegum89 · 06/01/2017 11:31

Anyone else been having really vivid dreams? For the last week or so, my dreams have been really vivid and lifelike. And in every case, has involved me having a baby. As if my body wasn't being cruel enough with symptoms, now my mind is trying to play tricks on me too!

BertieBotts · 06/01/2017 11:40

Tinker here's my chart if you want to compare. It's just confirmed ov for me today because it waits for 3 days of higher temperatures after the rise.

I had also decided to put ovia back on my phone because I missed the little titbits of information and fun articles. But it's still showing me as fertile Hmm which from what I now know about fertility is totally wrong! Now I remember why I took it off, it's annoying me. I've even tried to convince it that I'm past the fertile period by inputting some non fertile CM and it happily informs me "This is on track with your cycle point!" while still showing me I'm 9.5/10 for fertility Confused Stupid thing.

Bubblegum89 · 06/01/2017 11:50

Bertie I use Ovia and yesterday when I input that I had watery cm it said that that kind of cm is very often an indicator for early pregnancy and is a very good sign. When I put the same thing in today, it said this was completely normal for where I am in my cycle... Think Ovia is still recovering from a NYE hangover

Motherhippy16 · 06/01/2017 13:35

Hello all. Don't think I've ever been as excited to see ewcm today as it's right on track for fw and ov on Sunday! Actually jumped up and down in the bathroom. Good luck all....Yes bubblegum....very vivid dreams but I have them quite a lot. Much love to all x x x

BertieBotts · 06/01/2017 13:41

How random. I think Ovia just makes things up, I can't be convinced there's anything to their claims! They must just be popular because of the articles and "tips".

2ducks2ducklings · 06/01/2017 14:00

I removed Ovia. I viewed it as a kindly older relative, right intentions but bloody clueless in reality!
We're just dtd as often as we can and am hoping against hope that this is our month!

2ducks2ducklings · 06/01/2017 14:01

Motherhippy - I was exactly the same yesterday. I remember sitting on the loo wondering at what point in my life did my bodily excretions begin to dictate my mood.

Anna2006 · 06/01/2017 17:10

Bertiebotts I'm glad you posted your FF cycle on. I use FF and this cycle my pre ov temps were low for me like 36.20 and so my
Post ov temps have only been 36.60 ish which is low for me as I normally get 36.90 but guess it correlates with the low temps earlier in the month. But seeing yours is similar range has put my mind at ease. Are your temps always similar to that?

Motherhippy16 · 06/01/2017 17:33

2ducks2ducklings that's just made me laugh in the street walking from work! So true! X fx for you this weekend! X

BertieBotts · 06/01/2017 17:35

Yes my temps are pretty consistent. I don't normally get them any closer to 37 unless it's a one off spike.

Mummyme87 · 06/01/2017 18:15

I'm CD5, period finished. Count down to fertile time. Those who use OPKs, when in your cycle do you start testing? I started CD7 I think last cycle

Anna2006 · 06/01/2017 18:40

Ah that's good then, clearly I'm just overanalysing this cycle.
I normally start OPKs on CD10 x

Ohb0llocks · 06/01/2017 19:56

I've calmed down this month, decided to just chill out and it'll happen when it happens!

Pretty sure I'm past my fertile stage now and we've not done it this month. Been so drained with Christmas, new year, and it's DS birthday in just over a week too!

MissMagpie · 06/01/2017 20:18

Just popping in to say hi to everyone. I am waiting for my fertile week. Will be doing my clear blue opk from Sunday.

Have had a nice break away from thinking about trying to get pregnant but gearing up for the next opportunity now!!

MissMagpie · 06/01/2017 20:19

By the way it is great to see some BFPs on this bus. Congratulations everyone.

HettyB · 06/01/2017 20:44

BFN here but it's still early so I'm not counting myself out just yet. Congratulations to those who have got BFPs!

Bubblegum89 · 06/01/2017 21:26

Do I test on Sunday or not? I'll be 11dpo, af due on Wednesday... I've got a frer but I'm still not confident :/

HettyB · 06/01/2017 21:48

Bubblegum I'll be 11 dpo on Sunday and plan on testing then if you want a poas buddy. Tested today even though I know 9dpo was way too early to!

MissyJones83 · 06/01/2017 22:25

Can't wait for AF to finish to get back on it this month! Got my opk and my thermometer at the ready...bring it on!!!!!!

Good luck to all those testing soon fx for you

Bubblegum89 · 06/01/2017 22:35

Hiya Hetty :) ooh yes, we can be poas buddies! What test have you got? I did one with a Sainsbury's one at 7dpo but knew full well it would be negative and surprise surprise, bfn!

Tinkerbell2319 · 06/01/2017 22:42

Thanks bertiebotts

As far as I'm aware if my temp is still higher again tomorrow then that means ov was on Wednesday? I think Confused

I've added mine as a photo I'm not sure how to share it as a link Blush

January bus anyone?
