Feb 2017 bus is ready to go! TTC this month? Hop on.....

[MotherofUnicorns]

Hi everyone,
Thought I'd kick of the Feb bus.
I'm ttc #3 and it isn't easy this time.......
I'm planning on giving Feb all I've got - who's with me??!

Guess only way to know if you ovulate would be to do OPKs user but that could get expensive. Suppose best thing to do is just have regular sex and see if you get lucky! If really keen to ttc then maybe you will need to reduce breastfeeding to get your cycle to come back?

Ah Misty! Let's just pretend that didn't happen still every chance you will get a bfp in a few days!

Blimey mrsbarnett lots of potential symptoms there! Fingers crossed!

hhaz yep that would get my hopes up too, let's hope she's right

Misty don't count yourself out yet; if you're only 7dpo it's way too soon to test! I found an interesting table telling you when to test from and when not to bother, will try to link
www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/pregnancy_test_calculator.php
Im in 2ww- (Testing 5/2) but not especially hopefully as I have had a horrible virus since around predicted ovulation date and dh moved into the spare room! We dtd a few times (including 2 days before app predicted ov) but then nada. Only just feeling better today.

Phesant ... yep I'm thinking Ovia is about rubbish now too ..fertility friend does seem quite good but I'm not getting any of the charted data any more, it's telling me I need to be a VIP?? I'm pretty sure do didn't say that when I first got it... was it a free trial to begin with or something??

Hhaz ooohh I'm excited to find out if she was right or not now! Going to be looking out for you to report back!!

Oooh thanks for that link coffee I like that!!

Yeah I just have the free version of FF, I've got the calendar and a grid chart below. Only had it a couple of weeks though.

Hi all!

Hope you don't mind if I join, I'm new here and I need something to take my mind of my ridiculous symptom spotting!
Age: 26
TTC #1
Cycle#1
CD (cycle day?) 33...
DPO 17

So I've had cramps for the past 3 days and keep expecting to see AF everytime I go to the loo!! So silly since we have only been casually trying for 1 cycle and since I came off the pill (progesterone only) on Xmas day I know it's too soon to hope and I'm just driving myself crazy already! It's nice to read threads like this and know I'm not the only one! If AF not here by Wednesday I will give in and test!

Welcome emberblu if you are 17PDO have you done a test? The first few cycles off the pill can be a bit hit and miss but fingers crossed!

Arr don't worry yet about BFN mistyB it's early days. I've been looking at the website too coffee3! It's really useful. Encourages me not to test too soon. Sorry you've been poorly, so annoying for you!

Currently 3 DPO and nipples are driving me mad! Obv ovulation related but as I think this is my first month that ive ovulated post-pill it's very encouraging!

I had discounted ovia as it predicted a very late ovulation for me but my OPK matched up so think it was right after all! I just find it useful to keep a record and interpret myself more than to use it for predictions etc tbh.

Hi everyone I'm jumping on

Ttc #3, I have 2 DS's (2+5) and hopeful for a girl this time although a healthy baby is my goal.

My last period was 20th January and my cycle can vary between 26-28 days. Dtd last night after helping DP to ahem finish himself first and then having sex after. I have been reading a lot online ( I know I know not all true ofc!) and found this technique and the shuttles method works best for a conceiving a girl.. only time will tell though I guess

Hi Lovechild2016
No I have been holding off testing since I figured my cycle isn't normal yet but it's been very hard! especially since I've been feeling sick for several weeks (plus my many other made up symptoms ). If no AF by Wednesday I will definitely test but need distractions til then! Fx for you too!

Officially in the 2ww here. 1 dpo ..who's with me?

I'm 3dpo over here. Feeling the waits too long already haha!

4dpo here (i think?!)

Cd 48 here. But will prob test in 2 weeks. Good luck everyone.

Yay I'm not alone!! We can be strong and do this together ladies

Positive opk today, day 12, so far dtd day 6, 8, 10 and 12! Going for it this month haha! Plan once more today, tomorrow and Wednesday and once more for luck on Friday 😂

charley feeling exactly them same, can it really only be 3 days!? Feels like forever. Hi carlotta woohoo for positive OPK and great work ok bd-ing frequency. I dtd cd20, 22 then 24 think I O on 23. Hoping it was enough. I was away on cd 21 and 23, very inconvenient. emberblu you are being incredibly sensible, I think I must have spent about £££ on tests in my first month ttc naively thinking it would happen straight away. Hoping it has done for you! X

thank you for sharing the link Coffee - hope you don't mind but I've also shared it on another thread, love it.

Glitter - I'm with you - 1 dpo here too

xxx

Thanks coffee for the link! I'm new to mumsnet and 8 dpo today! Struggling with all the abbreviations xx
Really hoping this month is our month. Do u think the fact I've had a heavy cold for days will have affected our chances? Used clear blue digital tests and dtd up to, during and after my peak fertile day or static smiley face! On countdown to the 6th Feb when I am due. Every month I get excited and symptom check but it turns out to be pms 🙄🙈

Coffee that calculator is fab, thank you! I put in all my various dates, all the different days I could have ovulated this month according to all my various opk lol and every time it says yesterday is too early to test and ideal day will be sat 4th!
So I've reclaimed a glimmer of hope but not much coz I've had no imp bleeding or any other symptoms (except very sore boobies which I found out last cycle is becoming a regular thing a week before af is due!) and I didn't even need a wee in the middle of the night last night like I have done for the last 3 days! So still unlikely but hey ho, at least I'm on the right bus lol xx

Hehe thanks Lovechild2016 I think if I didn't have these cramps telling me AF is imminent I would have rushed out today and bought a whole bag of tests! I figure if I don't have them in the house I can't waste them it's so hard when you're technically 'late' but know it's just stopping the pill that has messed it up! Thanks for the hopes though
Aaah Coffee3 that link has told me to test (based on my previous cycles) which has made it so much harder to hold off! Good link though for when I'm settled into something more regular 🙈

Hi all

I'm now officially on Feb bus...24/25 Feb

Hey all!

Just coming into my FW now after an 8 day period! Annoying as I came off the pill back in sept so not sure if it's my body still settling down! Anyone else had this?!

Big chats with my OH around buying where we are (London) if not preg come June or buying in the country if I am.... difficult to live your life as normal when the big decisions hinge on bump or no bump! 😆

Good luck to those in the 2ww! 😘

5DPO over here and had mild cramping yesterday. Too early for it to be implantation related so I'm thinking it's a bad sign and maybe AF is going to appear early? Not due until the 6th at the earliest so it would be really early but not sure what else it could be!

EMHW buy in the country if that's what you would do if preg. Otherwise won't you end up moving twice?

Good link coffee. Test day on friday for me. Not sure if I will test then or wait a couple days longer as my cycles aren't v regular usually. Body is still giving absolutely nothing away!

Blue I'm a bit torn though as if we aren't preg I'd rather be closer to friends in London. Worse problems to have surely. Eeeek will keep my fx for you for Friday!
