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.

Thanks jellyb yes I've heard people saying that before, that coming off the pill can give you symptoms of pregnancy!
I've been off now for 20 days and I've just started getting really bad lower back pain.. That is a sign for me that AF will be here soon.. I always had lower back pains before going on the pill X

Amz26 · 19/12/2016 13:08

So jellyb when do you think AF will be due next month? X

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 19/12/2016 18:12

Hi everyone, may I join?!

I'm hoping to join the January bus after suffering a missed miscarriage this month. Just waiting for a negative test until I can start again.

Sending lots of magical baby dust to you all

Congrats H0H0H0 Flowers I'm impressed by your DTD efforts on your wedding night! DH was asleep before I'd even managed to get out of my dress on ours Grin

HOHOHOvariesBeforeBrovaries · 19/12/2016 23:09

Amz Thank you :) it was absolutely amazing! Beautiful day :)

ttcnovice Thank you! :) haha we may have set the fire alarm off hotel-wide after a shower got a little too steamy... we walked down to breakfast this morning and all our guests who stayed over sang "Sex on Fire" at us, they all heard it was our room Blush

ttcnovice · 20/12/2016 00:07

That is brilliant H0H0H0 Grin you'll certainly remember the night you conceived your DC if you do get your wedding night BFP! As will all of your wedding guests by the sounds of it Grin. Best of luck x

Anna2006 · 20/12/2016 07:32

I have to join the January bus too.

Age: 27
TTC: #1
CD: 1
Cycle: 2 (since mc)

Stupid AF arrived this morning. I temp and track my cycle and am due to ovulate on New Year's Day so let's hope it's a good start to the year!

Jellybabie3 · 20/12/2016 08:25

Haha that made me laugh HOHOHO im pondering OH birthday which is in Jan. He desperately wants a chill out weekend so was gonna book a break at a spa. Only prob is it will be day before AF is due so i will either be preg and so technically cant get in a jacuzzi or at a hotel with AF Hmm

Fingers crossed for you banner 5 days until my supposed fertile window however not sure if I've ovulated early Confused tracking is torture lol

DrRBannerx · 20/12/2016 10:10

Thanks stark! You think you ov early because of pain or temp or something else?
I asked if you were after Tony stark as mine is after Dr banner (the hulk)

Amz AF is due 14th jan

Hippychic79 · 20/12/2016 12:25

Jumping on the January bus too if i may please ladies.

AF arrived this morning as anticipated, although she's very light at the moment, I'm sure she'll be in full swing soon (sorry tmi).

So I'm back again at CD1.

I have a question - if your cycles are regular as clock work, does this mean you will ovulate on the same day every month? Or am I being naive?

xxxxx

2ducks2ducklings · 20/12/2016 13:49

Can I take a seat too? I've hopped on over from the December bus as AF is making an appearance today (first AF since miscarriage in November).
So.....
Ttc #3
Cycle 3
Cd 1
Next AF due 17th January (although this may change as this cycle has been different due to mc)

Amz26 · 20/12/2016 15:03

Welcome newcomers :)

HoHo- glad you had a great time and sounds like a laugh too 😂 That would be a great story to tell everyone that's how you conceived your DC! FX

jellyb That makes sense! I think I'm in the 2ww now but can't be 100% lol.. My body is confused 😁

bakingmad83 · 20/12/2016 15:29

I'll hop on board too please, though not sure if I'll keep up with all the posts!

Stats:
Age 33
TTC #2
Cycle 2
CD 3

Good luck everyone!

Jellybabie3 · 20/12/2016 15:31

Yeah i know that feeling amz. Im just waiting for AF to politely get lost! Theres a hell of a lot of waiting involved in ttc it would seem!!

DrRBannerx · 20/12/2016 16:09

Hey 2ducks sorry about your mc, my cycles have also been up in the air since mc in October x
hippy I seem to ovulate exactly the same every month now, my af have been like clockwork since my mc, very strange but it's got them exactly on point each month x

OP posts:
Anna2006 · 20/12/2016 20:48

Hippychick I believe if your cycles are regular like clockwork then it is likely you ovulate on the same day every month. Or your only variation would be by a day either side as your luteal phase can alter by a day either side as well. Still it would be fairly standard time.

I've charted my cycle for 12 months (3 months I was pregnant) and I've ovulated as early as CD13 this cycle and latest I've had is CD17 but my cycles do alter each month from 25 to 29 and is due to my change on ovulation. My luteal phase is usually 11 or 12 days

BertieBotts · 20/12/2016 23:10

Jumping on! AF just can't keep away Xmas Grin she must love me! Xmas Hmm

Due to test around the 19th Jan.

Looking forward to a break from work - I get two weeks off Xmas Smile I'm a teacher but teach adults so don't get most of the holidays but Christmas is sacred! Been a massive source of stress for me recently so I hope the break does me good. In fact I should be nicely unstressed during my fertile week so hope DH takes note Xmas Grin Though if we conceive next cycle I do risk having the next one on or very close to DS's 9th birthday Xmas Shock He was a NYE conceived baby Xmas Blush

HOHOHOvariesBeforeBrovaries · 20/12/2016 23:24

I don't know how I'm going to hold out for the 2ww. I'm going to be crazy by New Year's Day Grin

krakentoast · 20/12/2016 23:33

It's only the first day of the 2ww and I'm already climbing the walls, even though due to illness we only managed a couple of goes during the fw so it probably won't lead anywhere this time!

At least Christmas should be distracting, right?! I realised I had calculated my average cycle lengths wrong so I'm actually due AF on New Year's Day. The question is whether I will still hold out until then to test...
