Thanks @sophherts! Going to have a look online at the weekend.

sophherts · 14/12/2017 21:45

@bubblybrit I got mine from amazon if that helps!

bubblybrit · 14/12/2017 21:56

Perfect @sophherts! Thanks

Just started on evening primrose oil (taking until day 14) and fish oil (not cod liver oil).

Taking my temp first thing in the morning, do I do it before I've even got up out of bed, then chart it?

@SpongeCake23 yep that's right. It's slightly weird to do but you get used to it

Well I'm feeling a bit Debbie downer tonight I really wanted to dtd as per the smep however currently have a snoring dh next to me. We've both been working so much and getting so stressed it's not healthy at all! I feel like this month is slowly going to slip away from us. However not yet had a positive opk only cd10 so fingers crossed for the weekend with some layins and a few deeds

@SpongeCake23 just curious about the evening primrose oil... could you tell me more? Can it help with TTC? X

LookingAtTheStars89 · 15/12/2017 10:28

@Owlpatrol. Not on the Jan bus yet but read your comment. Don't be too down on yourself. Liike you said, you're still early days. I know what it's like to have a dh who falls asleep, mine has apnea! All he has to do is close his eyes and he's asleep! We missed one of our dtd days and I was a bit frustrated but it's just one of those things.

Still plenty of days left for you:-)

Aww thank you @LookingAtTheStars89 I've been following you as well as I could technically test new years eve so keeping an eye on December bus. You've really made my day your support thank you Grin

Ah crap! I'm on the the January bus! No offense ladies x

I think flo has finally caught up with me. I'm not going to lie, I cried a bit, I was actually really starting to think that this was it. We really put tbe effort in and dtd every other day. Stupid 35 day cycle!

Still, onwards an upwards with you lovely ladies. I'm not going to take the extra b6 this cycle as I'm sure it messed things up ovulation wise!

ImpatientMammy · 15/12/2017 14:10

Hi everyone I'm giving up on December I think I just had a period ( some spotting over 3 days hardly any at all but I'm really angry today and want to cry) so that will be my mirena widrawral bleed. OH won't be here for ovulation so just here for a bit of support until the February board opens 😔
For anyone I've not spoke to yet
I'm 25, this is cycle 2 and TTC number 2 ( I think that's the normal joining info anyway) Any early BFPs over here? Hope everyone's ok x

ImpatientMammy · 15/12/2017 14:12

Ahhh @LookingAtTheStars89 sorry your over here too 😔 🤞 this is your month x

LookingAtTheStars89 · 15/12/2017 14:19

@Owlpatrol. I'm not entirely convinced it's flo now. It's very light and pink and only when I wipe:-/

@LookingAtTheStars89. I’ll keep my fx crossed that flo hasn’t arrived and that you are still in with a chance this month!

@owlpatrol. My DH has been working a 14 hour day today. He is already telling me how tired he is. Which is his way of saying that we ain’t dtd tonight. Even although we really sure as haven’t had the chance since Sunday!

Moo8879 · 15/12/2017 18:30

Hi all first insemination of 3 just done clearblue was all over the place today but cheapie stick are getting dark, think I will ovulate tomorrow fingers crossed so decided to do one tonight to hopefully catch it early enough. Cervix is high and soft CM has been a bit weird though. AF die new years eve so hoping for a nice new years present. Good luck to all

jubbablub · 15/12/2017 19:11

AF finally arrived today. Might not actually be able to be on the bus due to some other health issues that I’m having investigated. Should find out on Tuesday for sure. My stress levels are out of this world.

Pizzanewyorkcatcher · 15/12/2017 20:14

Jumping on the new year bus. Bring on cycle 14 Hmm

2018 will be our bump year ladies!

tappitytaptap · 15/12/2017 20:16

Joining this bus. TTC #2, cycle 3, due AF on 8th Jan (but cycles are a bit variable!). I conceived on cycle 3 with DS, so fingers crossed...!

LookingAtTheStars89 · 16/12/2017 01:41

The red lady is well and truly flowing now! And back to square - I mean CD1. Going to use regular opk' s this month, twice a day. I ovulated late and we ended up missing two days, which I think might have cost us but never mind!

Recap:
TTC #4.
Cycle 3 after miscarriage in late August.
Been trying for #4 since May.

LookingAtTheStars89 · 16/12/2017 01:43

Oh an AF is due January 17th - or not hopefully!

ImpatientMammy · 16/12/2017 08:36

😔 how you feeling @looking I'm in denial about my "period" cause it was so light. I'm hoping I get a real one which would also mean my OH will be here for ovulation x

ImpatientMammy · 16/12/2017 08:38

Oh ladies what thermometers are you using? X

emelsie · 16/12/2017 08:41

Hi, joining you here after getting af yesterday so that finished cycle 1 of TTC for me.
Went a bit crazy with opks and early testing first cycle so going to drop it all this time, we can only dtd at certain times anyway because of work etc. So will try to relax a bit and ban myself from testing of any kind ! At least for the next few cycles ! Hoping for bfps for you all! X

TTC #2
Cycle 2
Hopefully going to test as late as possible!
