January Bus - New Year, New Bumps Please!

[Owlpatrol]

Hi all

Thought I'd start January bus as spotting has started today

Here's my stats

Age 29
Ttc #1
Cycle 13
Currently cd28 at due next couple of days
Next af/bfp due 4th January

Planning to do the sperm meets egg plan this month. Looking forward to af finishing already!

I’ll join this bus!
Age 28
TTC #1
Cycle 7 off contraception, but 1st of giving it a proper go.

Ohhh @Owlpatrol I’m really sorry to hear that :( fingers crossed it happens for you soon though.

@nk1605 I’m taking Holland & Barrett time release B Complex x

@ronniemipperton. I’m using CB OPKs as well. First cycle all I got was flashing smiley so got a bit worried. Persevered with them and then on second cycle I got the flashing smiley which turned to static smiley a few days later

You should have a look on amazon for CB as they tend to be cheaper than buying from a pharmacy. They also do 3 for 2 on occasion.

I don’t have the dedication for bbt if I’m being honest!

So I’ve been lurking for a while now. Kept up with the December bus as we were just about to start trying for #2.
So today AF was due......took a test BFP! I was shocked! Didn’t think it would be as quick as our first (she was one and done as well).
Sending hugs to everyone waiting for BFPs this month and beyond! Congratulations to all with BFPs already!

@Bambimad congrats!! You two must be super fertile!

So I'm sat in an airport heading back to the UK desperate to test... 10dpo & im getting excess saliva, just like I had in my last pregnancy (ended in mc)!

Planning on doing an IC tomorrow morning, don't want to waste an FRER until Friday when I'll be 14dpo (my LO is normally 13-15 days). Anyone else testing this week?

@bubblybrit. I will be back on the CB next month if this month is a fail as these cheap opks are driving me nuts! The line disappears and then 're appears but I haven't had anywhere near a strong one and I'm cd17.

@sophherts thank you! It seems we are! But I’ve never been on BC for more than a year and nothing for the last 10 years so I’ve had a reset. Lol.

Owl, sorry af arrived 💗 take time out for yourself x

Cakey thank you hun. All is well here been super busy with kids lol

Just got some back ache and constant need to drink water.
Thinkomg about it might end up having GD as I'm high risk for it anyway

Sorry owl, hope it does your good to take a bit of time away from the boards. Take care of yourself & do what you need to do :)

Well I'm on dpo 1 love the two week wait ! ...I managed to get oh on cycle day 11 12 15 ...not feeling hopeful ashy my lh surge on day 14 n think I mus ov same day .. dunno as thy say ... tww

Ahhh baubles I've been splitting girl fights up all day n my delightful 11 year old told oh that she will get her dad to beat him up .... he nearly choked ....

Ohhh congratulations bambi!

Getting some white discharge from my aereolas which has never ever happened before... Googled it as it freaked me out to be honest but it does seem to be very normal for lots of women & can be due to hormonal change apparently. Does anyone else get this? No flipping clue what my body is doing - would really just like to have 'normal' cycles so that everything can be tracked (CD53, absolutely no signs of af, BFNs.)

I caved this afternoon and did a FRER (10dpo, 3 hour urine hold) - BFN. Was kind of expecting it. Super exhausted today but otherwise no real symptoms. Some brown spotting on and off in luteal phase and then pink spotting on wiping on 30th. Will try and hold off now for a few days.

FYI for those in TWW - Boots have a 3 for 2 on all pregnancy tests. Picked myself up 2x FRER twin packs and a CB digital twin pack for £24. I know the FRERs are cheaper on amazon atm but incur delivery costs if you don't have prime/spend over £20 - so this worked out a better deal for me 🙂

Congrats @twiglet!

@LookingAtTheStars89. That’s sounds a nightmare. Think I need to see ‘high’ or ‘peak’ rather than analysing the colour of a line....think it would drive me nuts as don’t have the patience for it!

CB sometimes do 3 for 2 offers on amazon. I always keep an eye on the offers given how expensive they are compared with IC!

@sophherts. I’ll be testing around the 4th Jan if AF hasn’t showed up by that point! Will be 15DPO at that point so should get an accurate result either way....

Thanks @twiglet. I am due to pop out tomorrow to buy some pg tests. Will have a look in Boots and hopefully the offer is still available

@bubblybrit. I might go into Boots tomorrow and get some cb ov sticks. If cm is anything to go by I'm sure I didn't ov until cd22 last cycle so a cb ov stick might still catch a surge. I am like you, I need an obvious!!

@bubblybrit fx for you!

@LookingAtTheStars89. I’m quite a black and white person by nature. So need positive or negative. Not comfortable with anything that is open to interpretation lol

Thanks @sophherts. Hope your FRER gives you the result that you want

Congratulations to all with BFP! And thinking of everyone who has had a BFN or MC can't imagine what it's like, so sorry. I commented earlier in the thread. Flo says I'm 10 days from my AF, I think I'm just out of my ovulation stage but struggled with OPKs so can't be sure on this we've been DTD just incase. I'm currently having pains like AF pains and pains in my pelvis and legs just wondering if this sounds like a good sign or if I'm just driving myself insane. TIA :) xx

Happy new year all! Tried to catch up on the posts hi to all the newbies and congratulations on all the bfps! I'm out as af arrived the 30th :(( counting down again till fertile week. Using frozen donor so need to get that ordered for 3rd attempt. Bbt'ing with IC OPKs and CB ov tests fx this is our month and year!
