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??!

Thanks all. Dreams are over 😔 I know I must stay positive and I will bounce back, but feeling down in the dumps tonight. Just had a big fat pizza. And I'm gonna go out and get steaming this weekend 🙈 although I was really looking forward to having a good reason to stay in and save myself about 80 bucks 😂
I'm not too bad about winter itself, I'm a November baby and would have loved a lil baby-birthday present 😔
But I don't want a babe near Christmas. January I would be happy, I'm usually depressed in Jan so would be lush to have something to look forward to (and be off on maternity over the summer!!) xx

Hey everyone, any room left on the bus

age 23
ttc #1
cd19

Have been off bc since feb 2015 no baby yet.
Have been actively ttc for at least 1 year, using clear blue opk's, started using the boots own at first but could never read if it was positive or not
Using fertilitycheck gel, dtd 2-3 times a week. No luck
Any tips on staying positive?

Hi notgivingup, ah you're in the right place chick, everyone is lovely here and we all try to stay positive but it is hard!! As for tips, I've just had my af arrive tonight so I'm a bit down myself lol but give me a couple of days and I will be back smiling!

I've just had a thought girls, this was actually my January period. Well, as in, I joined this thread just after my January ovulation. We are just coming into Feb now... so technically, if I was to catch this month, I wouldn't have a Christmas baby would I?? It would be a November baby, am I right???

Thanks TtC. Feeling slightly shit about the fact that if it doesn't happen this month we will be onto month 5. I know that's not much but DS just sort of happened, and I guess I kind of thought that due to age (24) and a previous 'surprise' that it would be super easy

Yes I think you'd still be hitting November misty, there are calculators that can give you a proper due date online base on you af time. I'm due af on about 15 Feb n I think mine wud be oct 26 at the mo.

Yes November baby if you got pg this month, assuming normal cycle!

This is handy for working it out...

notgivingup maybe it's time to have a break from doing OPK etc and just see what happens for a while? Take all the pressure off. You are still so young so have time on your side Sometimes it will happen when you least expect it, did with DC1 for me!

I have my usual pre period insomnia. Fecks sake.

Oh that's fab blue, thanks! This has cheered me right up! I'm gonna go for it this month now :) get this af out the way (they're usually heavy but only 3 days) and then have lots of fun this month! Gonna stock up on opks and actually read the results properly this time lol. And hope for the best!
Then if af arrives again, I will have a break in March lol x

Sorry AF got you misty

Yay!! Fellow teen mom watchers!! teen mom OG is where it's at though, I've followed those girls from the beginning, I love it !!!

Blue pheasant ** i feel your pain on the guitar front ..probably cause it's something my DH would do! But I have to admit I did LOL multiple times reading your post and even had to share with DH ...who proudly reminded me his guitar matches the furniture haha!

A faint line today on a Boots early test! Oh. My. God. I'm hyperventilating.

At least I know my symptoms haven't all been in my head.....

Congratulations!!

Sorry af got you misty....I can empathise with the friends 'just falling pregnant' had lots of cuddles with my friends newborn and cried which my friend welcomed as she knows what I'm going through. I have a Counsellor zeb as part of my work and it has really helped me as I can speak openly and freely to her about everything. Hope it helps.
Started my fw today I believe as lots of ewcm! Was shocked really! Fx we don't miss it this month as I would be able to tell dh on his birthday which would be wonderful. Lots of love to all x
Ps I sometimes watch 'I didn't know I was pregnant' which makes me symptom spot even more! X

Oh! Congratulations!!!

Thanks all. Love the support on here
The massacre down below is continuing lol uncomfortable but I'm going to stock up on opks tonight (gonna leave the ptests coz I've got 2 sticks left and don't want the temptation next month lol) filled in Clue and Ovia which are giving me 2 completely different fw's. This cycle was back down to 28, been 30 and 31 last couple of months. Since I've come off pill I haven't had 2 cycles the same, it's gone 29-38-31-30 and now 28 again. Could I still be settling down after pill? So gonna try and pay more attention to my body this month and read the opk correctly haha. Feeling positive though, must keep smiling :)
Massive congrats babycarmen!! Hope it's a nice sticky one!!
Have a lovely Friday girlies and fx for this weekend's testers!
And those who are in fw... go for it 😜👌🏼

Thanks. Hoping it sticks! Only got implant removed on 08/12

Sorry for AF misty it would be lovely if next month it happened for you then you'll get a lovely birthday present. I am also 32 turning 33 in November and came of pill in sept so very much understand how you are feeling!

Wow carmen congratulations that is great news. Remind us your symptoms again?

Good luck motherhippy sounds like FW is here for you, hope you can dtd and lovely egg pops out right at right moment to meet a nice sperm.

I'm 7DPO no sore boobs, lots of indigestion and feel generally rubbish. Could easily convince myself theses are 'symptoms' but actually, it's because i ran out of omeprazole and had a glass of wine last night and I've got a raging cold and sore throat!

At least it's Friday and I'm not working this weekend woohoo!

Sorry misty! Lovely to see you are keeping positive though.

Congratulations carmen hope you have a lovely pregnancy.

Love I could have written your post haha. 7dpo have nausea, slight headache and some cramps. Although more likely the cocktails at the spa yesterday

That was my last day out and now nothing planned all of February so I'm going to eat healthy, stay off the booze and lose some weight!

😂 haha charley this ttc is tough! Great work on the plan for a healthy February, fingers crossed you'll have another reason to keep you motivated (BFP).

Congrats Carmen! I have my fingers crossed this is it for you!

7dpo for me too Charley! If you are wanting support with your healthier Feb, join the thread in here called 'Getting ready for baby challenge' as that's what we are all doing

I'll jump on pony thanks!! How are you feeling?

Love yeh it's crazy how consuming it is and how crazy it's making me I'm actually quite chilled this month. Haven't even touch a cheap pee stick or bought any FRER yet. Which is actually quite good for me at 7dpo haha!

Well done charley very restrained.Haha! I have 6 IC pg tests, a frer and 2 CB digitals in the cupboard. Have to hold up hands and admit to poas this morning after feeling nausea, looks pretty white! Not buying any more for this cycle therefore must control the poas urge until at least 9dpo then will 'allow' one per day until AF comes and stops me wasting money. Reserving the digitals until there is at least something to see on a cheaper one! It's so crazy I know but I just wanna know. Healthy Feb sounds great unfortunately mine will be twarted by two hen dos and a 30th bday party. Was pretty good in Jan though!

I hate having FRERs in the house as if I do an IC I then think it's just not sensitive enough and end up using the FRER
I've actually had no symptoms of anything this week where as the last few months I've definitely convinced myself I was pregnant by this time haha.

I'm off today and loose woman are away to talk about trying for a baby so I'm going to hide under my fluffy blanket ready for tears haha!

Hey ladies - sneaking in here. AF due either today, tomorrow or Sunday. Nothing so far today. Usually I'm 27 days but last month suprised me with only 25 so i'm prepared this time (Rip my lovely knickers). No symptoms this month so not overly hopeful. Would be nice though as we recently had a loss in the family, we all need a bit of good news. Fx for everyone here!

I'm not having any tests in the house this time, I'll buy one when I'm late :)

Hello everyone!

Congrats to those with Bfps, what a way to kick start the month

I'm still here checking in every few days.. Not much happening with me really so not much to update on! Bleeding finished about 3 days ago and not a drop since but feeling like my body is already gearing upto somthing.. Going by previous cycles I'm not due to ov for a couple of weeks at least (long 37-40 day cycles) but with having that chemical last month maybe things will be different?! Who knows!b I'm cd 10 as it stands.

Anyway fx for everyone already in the tww! Will check back again in a few days!

Much love ladies xxx

Congrats Carmen! 😊

So af due tomorrow. I have ZERO symptoms. No af symptoms, no pg symptoms, nada! My chart looks nice though so fx!

I caved and tested this morning. Thought I could see something. Left it then went back half hour later and there's a very faint line. Could be an evap though so now I'm even more confuddled!
