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.

Sorry about BFN emz. Seems there's a few of us this morning. I would try hold out until Thursday and see what happens but we all know how difficult that is!

Walikingdeadfan · 10/01/2017 11:33

Yes it would be first for me too.
Though, I had a mc last year - so probably going to be a bit stressed for the first few weeks if it does happen.
Yes need something to keep my mind of it too, working from home because of strikes and is hard to concentrate

Motherhippy16 · 10/01/2017 11:56

Apparently I'm 2dpo and am still having slight ewcm although it's thinner (sorry tmi) I've also developed a red rash just by my nose on one cheek which adds to the bloated tired rubbish feeling that I've already got! Going to hold out till the 21st IFebruary anyone else wants to be a poas buddy? X

Motherhippy16 · 10/01/2017 11:59

Sorry that's January! Definitive not holding out till Feb! Sorry for the bfns....fx bfps soon x

Congratulations claire and family SmileFlowers

Addtothechaos · 10/01/2017 12:23

Thanks for the advise ref drinking alcohol. I think I will do the same and have one or two and not go overboard Smile It's quite a big birthday bash so going to be hard to abstain!

hippy I will be your buddy! I am 1 DPO so we are basically the same! Going to test around 21st Jan too! Fx for us both!

BertieBotts · 10/01/2017 12:29

I will test Monday if I haven't had a period by then. Or maybe Tuesday just because Monday is a horrible work day and Tuesday I'll have time to think about and enjoy it if I am :) Monday afternoon/Tuesday morning seems best. But I'm expecting AF Sunday.

BertieBotts · 10/01/2017 12:30

Oh no hang on - am expecting AF Monday. So I'll wait until Tuesday because AF likes to troll me and not come until the evening!

Motherhippy16 · 10/01/2017 12:53

Addtothechaos yay...thank you. Fx for us both. Dh and I were dtd every other day throughout fertile week and before so hopefully something will happen. Hate this waiting but fortunately have a mountain of paperwork to get through (which would usually be rewarded with a glass of red) much love to all x

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 10/01/2017 13:48

Jumping off this bus, I'm still bleeding from the chemical pregnancy so my next AF won't be due until Feb. I'll go and hang out on the Feb bus but I may take a month off to let my cycles sort themselves out. Good luck everyone!

Charley2016 · 10/01/2017 14:14

Hmmm I just had cramps like AF was starting when I was in the shower although my stomach now feels empty and rumbling despite the fact I've already eaten breakfast and lunch. Won't be surprised if she shows todaySad

Jellybabie3 · 10/01/2017 14:33

Sorry charley. Although i had af like symptoms yesterday which have now completely disappeared. And i think its accepted that af symptoms are very similar to early preg?? Your not out yet. PMA!

DumbledoresArmy · 10/01/2017 14:46

Can I join you guys as a later joiner to the bus please?

I'm about 7dpo.
Ttc#3.
It doesn't get any easier though!

About 2 days ago I got a wipe of weird yellowy CM with slight pink tinge.
I've got nausea on & off & cramps.

I'm still not holding out much hope though Hmm
Dyeing to test but know it's too early.
I've got 20 I.C's & 2 clear blue digitalis!!

Jellybabie3 · 10/01/2017 14:53

Welcome dumbledore and fx for you 😊
charley is you ttc#?

Jellybabie3 · 10/01/2017 14:53

Wow bad english there 'are you ttc #1'

Charley2016 · 10/01/2017 15:12

Dumbeldore welcome! Sounds positive Smile

Haha jelly yes No1 for me. Been broody for forever but I wanted to get married, save for a mortgage and finish my degree first. Degrees not finished until May but couldn't wait after the wedding haha!

Walikingdeadfan · 10/01/2017 15:14

welcome dumbledore. Charley fx, I don't think hunger is a bad sign. I agree with Jellybaby - It is really is hard to tell.

ttcnovice · 10/01/2017 15:14

Hi charley good to 'see' you again Smile hope your cramps don't turn into AF!

Charley2016 · 10/01/2017 15:22

Hey TTC! How are you? Sorry about the disappearing act, it all got a little much after being convinced last month. Think that's probably why I've lost the PMA this month haha. How are you getting on? Thanks walking hopefully at least one of us will get a bfp by the weekend!

ttcnovice · 10/01/2017 15:43

Can relate completely charley I haven't posted as much this cycle either. Desperately trying not to symptom spot after last month considering it all came to nothing! AF is due on Friday for me so we shall see, but I'm not holding out much hope after not getting any positive OPKs this time around. Hopefully you will get a surprise BFP to awaken your positivity again Smile.

Charley2016 · 10/01/2017 15:49

I'll have my fingers firmly crossed for you TTC. I think I ovulated a few days late so even though I'm due today I could easily be a few days late too. I'd love to be able to hold on and test Friday. Do you think you'll be able to hold off testing?

ttcnovice · 10/01/2017 16:35

Thanks charley you too! Were you doing OPKs this month? Yes, definitely going to wait to test this time. I don't know about you, but I found it much more upsetting getting a BFN than I did when AF actually came last month. Think the glaring whiteness of the test screen just zapped all my positive thinking!

Charley2016 · 10/01/2017 16:44

I was trying to be more relaxed this month but I caved and did an OPK on the day I normally ovulate but it was negative. Did one 2 days later which was very positive so if that was right then I only BD 2,4&6 days before so I don't know why I'm optimistic haha! Although we did it every day last month and nothing happened!

Yeh I agree about the tests too, although only use IC this month and I always expect white on them! Are you feeling positive this month?

Poppet8583 · 10/01/2017 18:26

Just reading through and see a lot of you are using OPKs... I haven't started this yet so would be good to know your thoughts are on whether it's worth doing? I'm not sure whether to start this now, or as I've only recently started TTC to give it a couple of months of "see how we get on" first.

Would love to hear what you think (if you don't mind sharing).
