AF finishing for me today so then just hanging out for my FE. Fingers crossed for this cycle. AF will be due around 9th Feb.

My cycles are usually 26 days and I ovulate around CD14 so start OPKs around Cd11

stuckinny · 18/01/2017 20:50

I'd like a seat too!

Age 38
TTC #2 (1st for DP)
CD 19
Think it's the 3rd cycle.

We've been very relaxed about trying but since I'm likely to lose my job in the summer I'd like to get a move on. I haven't used any tests etc...yet
After reading all your posts I've just reactivated my fertility friend account (it hasn't been used for 11 years).
AF is due on the 29 but if it doesn't show I'll wait until 2 Feb before testing. It was 10 days late last month.

Fingers crossed for everyone

I feel like I'm going insane. Im ridiculously broody, I found myself looking on mothercare website today! I know it's probably going to take months for a bfp, but I feel like I can't wait that long!

Charley2016 · 18/01/2017 21:38

Blue I'm in month 4 and I think 2 months I same EWCM for one day, a week after ovulation. Definitely none at ovulation though.

I use Ovia but I still use OPKs the last 3 months everything was the same in my cycle but last month my ovulation and period were both 2 days behind what they usually are.

Charley2016 · 18/01/2017 21:39

Emily I was shopping earlier and there was the cutest baby grows with I love daddy and daddy's my superhero etc and I was desperate to buy one! It's so hard!

Babycarmen · 18/01/2017 22:13

Just checking in! Fertile week starts today apparently so let the BD begin!

GN06 · 19/01/2017 07:14

My FW also starting today. High reading on clearblue monitor this morning. Desperately hoping I'll get peak this cycle as I haven't the last 2! FX.

kimblesj · 19/01/2017 07:48

Checking in to this bus after Af got me this morning!

Age 31
Ttc #5 after #4 was a very late miscarriage at 22 weeks in April.
Have PCOS so vary in cycle length.
This month my lp was only 10 days so trying b6 this time.

Fingers crossed for everyone, this will be the month!

Roseandbee · 19/01/2017 09:31

Hi Kim, I'm also hopping over from the Jan bus, with AF this morning.

Hi to everyone I already met on the Jan bus & hi to any new ladies

Age 33
TTC #1
Cycle - 2 and had years off birth control since I got married but I'm not gonna focus on that :-/ and call this TTC cycle 2 as I wasnt really "trying" before so let's just say it doesn't count.

Carlotta82248 · 19/01/2017 15:35

CD1 today kind of feels nice to be back to normal following my early misc, also kind of terrifying x

EmilyJ90 · 19/01/2017 17:05

charley I've been looking at little pregnancy announcement gifts and everything it's silly! i did an OPK last night just out of curiosity because I've never used them before, when the faded line showed up I couldn't help thinking 'this will be my bfp soon!' I'm driving myself insane Blush

Charley2016 · 19/01/2017 17:11

Emily I do the same, I thought of Christmas gift announcements, then birthday ones and now valentines ones haha!

The OPKs definitely help to keep me sane. Nice to see some sort of line too, even if it's not on a hpt!

EmilyJ90 · 19/01/2017 17:47

charley its to know I'm not the only one haha! I keep thinking this Valentine's Day I'll present my partner the bfp -probably not the most romantic gift.. a wee soaked stick haha! I honestly can't wait

BertieBotts · 19/01/2017 17:50

I'm having such a weirdly light period - no more than spotting and horrible cramps on day one, about a third of a mooncup on day two and just spotting today Confused

Should I test again? I don't know what's up with it! But the cramping was so strong I can't believe I could be pregnant.

ttcnovice · 19/01/2017 18:00

Bertie I had exactly the same this AF! Spotting for three days only, and it didn't get any heavier throughout. No cramping either. Took a test just in case on Monday (so day 4 of "period") but it was negative, so I'm definitely not pregnant. No idea what caused it though, my AF is usually really heavy and lasts at least 5 days without fail.

Have you taken a test since the spotting started?

ttcnovice · 19/01/2017 18:01

Sorry Bertie just noticed you had horrible cramps. I didn't have any at all which is unusual for me!

BertieBotts · 19/01/2017 18:08

I had three days of spotting before the period started (I counted the crampy day as day one), took a test the day before, BFN.

BertieBotts · 19/01/2017 18:08

I normally have light periods but not like this.

ttcnovice · 19/01/2017 18:25

I'd take another test if I were you Bertie, just to be sure!

MrsGB2015 · 19/01/2017 20:08

bertie my period was like that the month before I got pregnant the first time. Fingers crossed its a good sign for you!

88claire · 19/01/2017 21:26

Hello everyone,

I'm rejoining the bus from a very early miscarriage. We are being as positive as possible trying again so here I am!

Not sure about dates yet due to the MC and my already irregular cycles so I may even be testing on the March bus. We shall see!

88claire · 19/01/2017 21:28

Carlotta

Sorry to see you back on the bus. Hoping we have some more luck this time around Flowers

Usernamegone · 19/01/2017 21:28

Can I slide onto the bus as AF arrived today?

Af just finished! Yay! All being well with ov I'm due next af 4th Feb (I have pcos so who knows lol) stats are:

Age 36
CD 1
Cycle 6 (I think?)
ttc #1
Test date 14 Feb ❤️️

GL and fx for everyone Smile

Roseandbee · 19/01/2017 23:28

Hi everyone joining. Hope feb is lucky for you
I'll also be testing around valentines day.
Is anyone due to ovulate on the day of luuurve? (two birds one stone ;))

Bubblegum89 · 19/01/2017 23:47

Hey all, seems I've missed a lot!

Af finished Sunday. Had brown spotting last Wednesday morning then went to heavyish red bleed, back to brown then back to red and finally back to brown all in 48 hours lol then I just had light brown spotting on and off until Sunday. It was my first period since coming off the pill so that all sounds kinda typical of that, right? I was a bit worried tbh! I've bought a bbt thermometer. Going to try it this cycle but if I don't conceive I'm considering just ditching everything and going literally bare back because I feel like I'm already stressing and obsessing waaaaay too much!

Hope you're all well, ladies Flowers
