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.

Congrats Jelly! What a surprise after getting a bfn this morning

Addtothechaos · 11/01/2017 17:29

Hi everyone

Congrats again to all with Bfps so far! It's exciting and gives us all hope! Smile

I'm here at 2dpo and just waiting it out and not really symptom spotting yet as its so early! Sure once I get closer to 10/11dpo I will be speculating like a crazy women!

Ordered some IC last week and they came today! Fx one of them will end up positive!

Motherhippy16 · 11/01/2017 18:06

Addtothechaos we can be crazy together! Swollen boobs and cramping but I had this after ovulation last month with back ache....I know it's all down to pms symptoms and way too early for pregnancy so feel as though I'm more rational about it this month....for now! X

DumbledoresArmy · 11/01/2017 18:12

Congratulations jelly!

Addtothechaos · 11/01/2017 18:20

Hi hippy!

Hope af stays away for us both and we get that much wanted bfp! I haven't even got a hint of a cramp or any other kind of symptom! Usually around 5-7 days before af arrives is when the cramps kick in for me! Saying that during my last 2 pregnancies I had the exact same symptoms that lead up to af before getting the bfp. So I wouldn't worry about feeling like it's going to be a normal month just yet! Smile

EachPeachPearPlum83 · 11/01/2017 18:40

Congrats Jelly! I'm now just waiting for AF to turn up. Due today but my cycles are irregular so I can never be sure. Desperately trying to find the willpower not to test just yet. I'm going to try and wait till at least Friday.

minime2016 · 11/01/2017 19:07

Congratulations Jelly!

I'm still in FW and according to Ovia approaching peak time for dtd, which my cm is also suggesting. However, I've been using opks this week, and they've been v faint, getting fainter as week has gone on. They're v thin strips compared to my usual ones. Now wondering have i missed ov, will it be late or have I a dud set of strips? Confused

Jellybabie3 · 11/01/2017 19:10

Thanks all Smile gonna tell OH on his bday. Ive just emailed spa in the hope they can swap my massage for something else at short notice!
Btw i tried another IC poas and its neg again. Looks like my batch were no good as apparently they are the same sensitivity as the CB i Used. However the OPKs worked fine.

Motherhippy16 · 11/01/2017 19:17

Addtothechaos if u down mind me asking what were your symptoms leading up to the bfp in your last 2 pregnancies? Am very crampy and feeling slightly rubbish x x x

minime2016 · 11/01/2017 19:48

Just checked the opk I did earlier and it's eventually developed. Stronger lines than others this week but not fully positive, so about right at this stage. Must just take a longer time to come up Smile

Addtothechaos · 11/01/2017 20:16

No course don't mind you asking hippy Symptoms were the same as af symptoms for me. I had cramps and felt low for a few days prior to getting bfp. BOTH times I was convinced I was about to come on as the cramps were the same but nothing showed up! low mood wasn't anything to do wih ttc or anything in particular going on at the time, its just something I get before af and pregnancy apparently Hmm

Thinking back to my last preg I did have cramps around 4 or 5 DPO as I remember consulting a pg book and it said implantation cramps usually 6dp so I dismissed it! Could have been that though looking back! X

Addtothechaos · 11/01/2017 20:17

Sorry that post was quite long!

Mrsbluebell17 · 11/01/2017 20:20

Massive congrats jelly!

Jellybabie3 · 11/01/2017 20:27

Oh god i caved and told OH. Now im excited! Thanks all. Fx for you xxx

Motherhippy16 · 11/01/2017 20:28

Add to the chaos that's really helpful. I am kinda guessing that I ov'd on Sunday but it could have been earlier. Sitting here doing Myour paperwork and knocked my boobs....sorest nipples ever and I never ever get this. Even with af. It's always general pain. Thank you for sharing. Fx for us both! X

Trytowin · 11/01/2017 20:29

Congratulations jelly!

Cycle day 11 for me dtd cycle day 8 and 10. Tried an oV. Stick today and got a faint line not a positive but shows the app may be out. I'm not due to ovulate until CD 17 on that.

Interesting glad I purchased them

Charley2016 · 11/01/2017 20:29

So pleased for you jelly. How was dh? It's my DHs birthday on Sunday and would love to be able to tell him Sad aw you guys will have the best weekend now! So much exciting stuff to talk about! Flowers

Cashmummy · 11/01/2017 21:04

Hi all. Congrats on the BFPs and Fx for next month for everyone who's been got by the evil AF.

I've been lurking since before Christmas. Thought I had a BFP on cheapie this morning (cd 31 of 32) but now spotting. Ugh! After two MMC in 2016 I had to believe this was going to be the month for my rainbow journey. Really hoping for a good FRER result tomorrow but not holding out hope.

Loving all your BFPs though. It's giving me home

trippingoverrainbows · 11/01/2017 22:13

Congratulations everyone on your BFP's Flowers
I'm now CD33 no AF and have POAS a few times and still BFN. Secretly hoping that if I take a test again in a week then maybe there is hope if AF hasn't made an appearance by then. This whole TTC thing is emotionally draining and confusing Confused

Cashmummy · 11/01/2017 22:49

Agreed. tripping
Don't give up hope yet though. You're not our till AF arrives. With my DD I didn't get a BFP for ages!

Wingingit88 · 12/01/2017 06:54

CD 38 bfn. Pcos I hate you Sad

trippingoverrainbows · 12/01/2017 08:31

Thanks cash. Do you mean you were preg but it took some time to actually show a BFP last time?

wingingit you have my sympathies, our bodies really aren't helping us out here are they Confused

Charley2016 · 12/01/2017 08:50

Well I'm now 2 days late, no sign of AF but another bfn on FRER.

EachPeachPearPlum83 · 12/01/2017 09:48

Same Charley. I'm 2 days late and another bfn this morning - so frustrating. Although I'm another one who didn't get a bfp for ages with my dd, do there's still a tiny bit of hope!

Walikingdeadfan · 12/01/2017 09:57

Congratulations Jelly!
Fx for Charley, Tripping and Peach.

Unfortunately, I got AF this morning. But trying to have a PMA. Booked an appointment for us both to speak to GP next week as has now been nearly a year. And going to try and focus on being a bit healthier this month.
