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.

The FRER sat you can use any urine. I'd maybe just try and hold it for a good few hours?

I'm now 2 days late but did an IC and got BFN. Just realised it expired July 2015 - would this make much difference?

Roseandbee · 11/01/2017 12:20

Thanks 88claire

I did DTD on what I think were the right days this cycle, which I cant really say if I did or not on the other 30 cycles. I mean if you never DTD on the right day your chances of being pregnant are zero, its just the odds of getting the wrong days in all 30 cycles I have to worry about.

BertieBotts · 11/01/2017 12:21

Just knackered now but that's cos I went to bed late and got up early. Nothing mystical.

No idea pebble. Remember everyone you will get false negatives on everything until your HCG builds up. You're never out until AF comes and being late is the best sign there is.

BertieBotts · 11/01/2017 12:27

Oh I do have a really dry moyth if you want to add that to the list of dubious signs :o

DumbledoresArmy · 11/01/2017 12:32

I keep feeling a bit dizzy today??
Not sure if this means anything.
Still getting twinges on & off too.

ttcnovice · 11/01/2017 12:52

Thanks Bows Smile how long has your current cycle been so far? Have you taken a HCG test at all? Just thinking could your high readings on the OPKs possibly indicate a BFP rather than 4+ days of high fertility?

charley and jelly - Bertie is right, you're not out until AF arrives so let's hope your HCG levels just aren't high enough yet. Fx as ever!

Jellybabie3 · 11/01/2017 13:44

Well there we go. ICs didnt work for me! Grin and apologies for pic its in my handbag at work!!

January bus anyone?
TheGrumpySquirrel · 11/01/2017 13:47

Wow jelly congrats! I'm 17 days off cerazette so no idea if I ovulated yet (suspected yesterday due to possible EWCM) but will be testing on 17 & 25 January

ttcnovice · 11/01/2017 13:48

Wow jelly that's amazing news! Huge congrats!

Bows85 · 11/01/2017 13:52

Unfortunately I don't think so ttc. I've been temping this month so, unless I've been doing it wrong (which is possible as it's my first month!), I know I haven't ovulated yet.

I'm on CD29 today so if I do ovulate it will be a mega long cycle (but I had 42 day and 41 day cycles in October and November). I'm a stress head though so I'm convinced that there's a problem, and I wont ovulate this month! If that's the case, I'm hoping it's just a one off which I have read can happen from time to time.

Still need to take OPK today so will see what happens this afternoon...

BertieBotts · 11/01/2017 13:58

Ooh congrats Jelly! Clearly the right choice!

BertieBotts · 11/01/2017 13:59

This is very timewasty but in case anyone else is symptom spotting...

Keep us posted Bows and try not to stress, as you said anovulation cycles do happen from time to time without anything to worry about going on. I know it's easier said than done though, and I need to take my own advice there Blush.

Bows85 · 11/01/2017 14:22

Thanks ttc! I think I could take some of my own advice from time to time too Wink

Just done an OPK and got a strong positive! Woohoo! Fx for my temp to start rising now...

Charley2016 · 11/01/2017 14:32

Oh my goodness jelly congratulations!! So happy for you! How are you feeling?

Jellybabie3 · 11/01/2017 14:37

Thanks Smile i dont know really! Happy of course im just not sure how to react (at work lol) think it needs to sink in!!
Now got to decide when to tell OH as we are off to spa for his bday suprise friday (and now i cant do half the stuff in it lol!!)

Emz01 · 11/01/2017 14:39

Congratulations Jelly! Very happy for you.

MrsC2017 · 11/01/2017 14:44

Congrats jelly, great news!

Jellybabie3 · 11/01/2017 14:50

Thanks Smile i will be hanging around on the bus to see how everyone gets on. I have everything crossed for you all Flowers and hoping this is a sticky bean

Starfish33 · 11/01/2017 15:05

Hello!

I'm a newbie - posted on another thread a few days ago but am looking for advice so thought I'd join this one too, as you seem like a friendly bunch!

Stats:
Age 33
TTC #1
CD 6

So, AF is on her way out and I have a few questions for this cycle. I read that you should only DTD every other day, eg. days 10, 12, 14... of a 28-day cycle, so that DH's sperm can build up. Is this a good idea? I was thinking we'd just go for it as much as possible whilst I might be ovulating? Any advice please?

Also, I'm sure this has been talked about elsewhere, but any positive experiences of being upside down (standing on your head!) after DTD??! Although it seems amusing, I'm really tempted to try it if there's a chance of it working!?

And congratulations, Jelly - do you mind me asking if you DTD everyday, every other day, or another pattern?

So keen for this to be the month, advice would be very much appreciated!

Baby dust to all! x

Jellybabie3 · 11/01/2017 15:13

Hello starfish and welcome.
This was cycle 3 for me. Came off pill the last week of October. This month we had time off over christmas which conveniently fell at fw so dtd cd 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15 (+opk) 16 and 17. There were a few times i laid down for few mins after dtd with hands under bottom to prop me up abit (read this on another thread!)
Goodluck to all xx

Motherhippy16 · 11/01/2017 16:17

Congratulations jelly! Amazing news and wonderful birthday surprise for your dh! X x x

BertieBotts · 11/01/2017 16:50

Standing on head, lying with legs in air etc won't make any difference as sperm are catapulted through the cervix by ejaculation and the bit which comes out would never have got in anyway. If I understand correctly.

Still feel sick, it's annoying me now!

mrsbarnettsbaby · 11/01/2017 16:56

AF 1 day late and boobs hurt. However I am not getting my hopes up!
