January bus anyone?

[DrRBannerx]

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.

Thank Hippy that's really helpful :-)

Thanks*

BFN for me today, but think I have 2 more days till AF is due - have long irregular cycles. Not out yet, but not getting my hopes up. Congrats to all the BFPs!

I fear that I might be out this month too, on day 22 of a 25 day cycle and think that PMT has struck. FX that the mood swings are due to me being on a diet and not because AF is on its way. Not tested yet, only 10dpo so going to try and wait until 12 or 13dpo if possible. Good luck to everyone testing soon!

Still on here ladies and checking up on you still! Got my FX for you all and will Defo be reading all your posts X

You still in for a good chance Emz but yes deff hold out until your if you can. Those negative tests are bastards!

I've got to hold out until next Sunday! 😱😱😱

Starting BBT temping tomorrow morning. Got my thermometer, gonna put results into both FF and Ovia. Any tips?

I have given up using the CBFM this month as missed two days testing with it, so will start again next month.

So far the ones I took are...

Cd6 - low
CD7 - high
Cd8 - high
Cd9 - x
Cd10 - x but DTD

Just thought there is no point testing as will read false positive as could have peaked already. Not been very organised at all 😢

Thanks Anna fingers crossed for you for next Sunday!

I am ridiculously emotional today!! Welling up at the slightest thing from early this morning, latest being watching the sodding dancing programme on itv. As I'm nearing ovulation I'm assuming it's hormone related. If not I need to get a grip 😭 😀

Hey ladies,
I got a BFP yesterday morning. Feeling excited and nervous. This will be DC #2. DS is 11 months old. There will be a 20 month age gap and I haven't even started back at work yet!

Good luck to all you waiting for a BFP! xx

Congratulations!!x

Congratulations...wonderful news! X

super in regards to bbt and charting. I would just recommend trying to take your temp at the same time every morning, ie set an alarm so you wake up same time every day.

It's really useful to see the overall picture of your cycle. But try not read to much into the individual temps. Good luck!

Congratulations Claire!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on the BFPs and sorry to anyone disappointed! I'm trying to hold out on testing until 16th/17th which would be the first couple of days of a missed period. I'm 5DPO and have had quite a lot of pelvic pain but it felt quite similar to a developing UTI which I think I managed to stave off by drinking a ridiculous amount of water. Also twingey type pains low down in pelvis on left side ongoing for a few days now. Feeling totally exhausted but that's normal for me so not getting hopes up too much. Trying to relax a bit and not worry about it as much as I did last month but it's easier said than done!

Congratulations Claire!

Morning all and congrats claire.
Im still here at cd22. No real symptoms to report except pains in pelvic area but both sides?? Usually only feel ov etc on left side so its new to feel anything on the right. Very bloated too. Going to hold out another day to test although i have a whole batch of 10miu tests!!

I am due for AF next Monday and tried to hold off but ive been feeling light headed, having cramps and tender breasts. I did a test today but of course its too early. holding off until next week now (hopefully) although I swear there is a very faint line but I think thats just hopeful thinking!

My tip for BBT would be to keep the thermometer by your pillow and try to remember to grab it as you wake up, but if you forget, you can still do it later. Put the data into Fertility Friend first, using the little thermometer shortcut near the top, and copy over to Ovia later in the day if you want to. Always do FF first because it records the time that way and will show you a little open circle if you took it too late (which reminds you that temperature may have been unreliable.) After a few days if you have an open circle which looks out of place or seems to be throwing things off you can go in and discard. Also, if you go through the tabs, you can mark if you were ill, had been drinking alcohol, or had very interrupted sleep. These will also provide open circles.

I recommend reading through the lessons on FF's app. It's under menu, docs and education, charting course. It's in nice easy bite sized chunks.

So bloated i can barely do up my trousers more likely to be AF than an upcoming BFP?

Eagerly awaiting my OPK sticks and thermometer so I can get on with this new cycle 😀

Congrats claire
