I can see it holly congratulations!!

Woke up last night with the most horrendous heartburn of my life. I know that I've practically only just ovulated but allow me to indulge in the symptom spotting Grin

Hi guys!

Newbie here - I have been lurking for a while and thought it was time i revealed myself!

Grapes
Age: 28 -29verysoon-
ttc no.1 after getting married last august
Cd 23 according to ovia but that is just based on the average girls cycle so who knows!

Came off the pill early jan,so not sure if this counts as cycle 1 or if i need to wait for a natural af first Confused Haven't used any opks but according to Ovia af is due 10/2 so my plan is to just test then and hope for the best!!

Good luck everyone and its great to see some bfp's already this month!! Smile

MistyBxx · 04/02/2017 10:16

Congrats holly!! Let's hope it's a lovely sticky one!! I'm on day 3 of af and mine are usually only 3 days so hopefully will bugger off soon so I can get my sexy pants on again haha x

kikisparks · 04/02/2017 11:28

I'd like to join please although technically we're NTNP (but I'm taking prenatals and temping, which DH knows, so it's more him who's NTNP)

TTC #1
Cycle 2
Age 29
CD15

I just started temping this month and so far my chart makes no sense it goes up and down a lot From one day to next (and i temp at same time before I get up) I'm hoping it's because I've had the flu and am recovering from a fever and that it'll be clearer next month.

ttcnovice · 04/02/2017 12:20

Congrats Holly lovely news! Fx for a healthy 9 months for you Smile

Hippychic79 · 04/02/2017 12:23

Congrats Holly xxx

Loxy4527 · 04/02/2017 14:57

fantastic news Holly!

I broke and did another test yesterday, nothing there. Still no AF today though but I'm expecting it'll come tomorrow which is when it's normally due. I've only got one FRER left in the house now, (And a couple of digital ones which are reserved for after I get a positive) so hopefully I won't be too tempted next cycle.

HollyMay84 · 04/02/2017 15:02

Thank you everyone 😊 I think I'm still in shock, it's going to take a while to sink in. I'll still be hovering round the bus though. Sprinkling baby dust on you all 😀 hope to see more BFPs this month 😊

Somethingtotalkabout1982 · 04/02/2017 18:22

Congratulations Holly! Wonderful news :-)

88claire · 04/02/2017 18:28

So will count myself as in the two week wait from Monday I think :)

Only weird thing this is obviously positive but the clearblue dual hormone test is still flashing and not a solid smiley. Does anyone have experience with that?!

Congratulations to those with BFP!!

Feb 2017 bus is ready to go! TTC this month? Hop on.....
88claire · 04/02/2017 19:24

Scratch that.. Just did another one and I got my static smiley.

Here is the progression if anyone is interested. I'm amazed in the difference between positive and negative in one day (the last two strips).

Sorry if I'm boring you. Im finding the whole thing quite interesting and useful (I'm a children's nurse!)

Not sure if I'm imagining it but I've got mild cramps on the opposite site to where I ovulated from last cycle.

Now for my first dreaded two week wait....!

AnyFarrahFowler · 04/02/2017 20:20

AF arrived today. Can't be too sad, as it was only our first try. I reckon I can stay on the February bus as I'll be ovulating again around 13th/14th. There's still hope for a Valentine's baby!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 04/02/2017 21:12

Hi ladies I am CD5 now, expected ovulation mid Feb, I am using OPK to time it.. I would be due next AF 2 march. Good luck everyone!

LegallyE · 05/02/2017 07:33

TTC with no1! Cycle #2. Still have 4 days to go until AF is meant to arrive... But just have this feeling that cycle #1 hasn't yielded results.

GN06 · 05/02/2017 08:03

CD28 today and had felt nothing until I got up for a wee and felt some very faint but distinct af like cramps :( I think I'm probably going to be out this month.

GN06 · 05/02/2017 08:20

And within about 10 mins of writing that af turned up 😥 I may JUST have another chance on the Feb bus.....

Congrats to you on your BFP Holly!! X

ZEB91 · 05/02/2017 08:34

Congratulations on BFPs!!

So AF due tomorrow and she's definitely on her way!
Thanks if having a break from TTC til around April as have weddings and going away.

Has anybody had a conception reading off Mark Akinson? I've just purchased a reading and really excited to see what she says!

Good luck to those still in their 2WW

ttcnovice · 05/02/2017 08:49

Does anyone have any advice on luteal phase lengths please? I heard that your LP doesn't change cycle to cycle, is that right?

I'm currently 11DPO and so according to a 12-day LP would be due AF tomorrow, making this cycle only 25 days. Previous cycles have all been around the 28-day mark though, so I'm not sure what to expect (and hence when to know if/when I'm late etc). Can anyone please shed any light?

EMHW123 · 05/02/2017 10:56

Congrats holly!! clare I'm soooooo glad you posted about your variation in CB ov kit results.... I've tested every morning for the last week and it's been negative, I had some stringy cf about 5 days ago but not as much as usual and today is meant to be my ov day.... it's not..... I was getting worried. At least you can see that your at least in the fertile window :) exciting in itself! I've got my fingers crossed for a late ov ...... sorry to those being sabotaged by Aunt Flo Flowers

EMHW123 · 05/02/2017 10:57

Sorry I meant claire88

Ohb0llocks · 05/02/2017 11:03

Well the early testing award goes to....

Me at 4dpo!

I clearly just have a strong need to wee on sticks.

88claire · 05/02/2017 11:21

Ohbollocks

Amazing! I'm determined not to pee on anything until AF is late! I'm still having a LH surge today so guessing I'm 1dpo tomorrow. I'm sure testing will be very tempting 😂

EMHW123

Mine were very steadily negative (no changes in colour) and suddenly yesterday morning much darker and then today they're blaringly positive. So it was all very sudden. I'm CD 24 so it is a late ovulation which seems normal for me! I'm only just starting to track so I can get an idea where my cycle is (and a BFP would be an amazing bonus)! Good luck for your LH surge soon!

Oysterbabe · 05/02/2017 11:24

Bollocks you are a silly sausage. That egg is still winging it's way towards your womb and hasn't even thought about coughing out any HCG yet.
The naughty step with you.

EMHW123 · 05/02/2017 11:47

lol bollocks

claire you are a star!!! I was beginning to panic! I'm cd17 and first time for properly tracking ov! Thanks for being lovely! 😘

88claire · 05/02/2017 12:01

EHMW123

No worries! If I'm honest the cheapies have told me exactly what then clearblue tests do so in future I'll save the pennies and just get cheapies. But the clearblue is useful if you aren't sure what a positive and negative looks like for you. I just used it to confirm this month :)
