Here's my stats

Next af/bfp due 4th January

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

Yep my DH would be exactly the same to be honest @pinkypromise77. So think I’ll prob buy a FRER and a digital to back it up if I get the result I want!! Thanks for flagging as tests are expensive Smile

CoconutGal · 02/01/2018 12:59

AF is now 2 days late. I'm getting BFN's daily so now just waiting for AF to decide when to arrive. I went through a phase where I was regular last year, then I had 2 bleeds in October, AF 1st November & now waiting again. I've had no symptoms at all.

HoneyCake86 · 02/01/2018 13:22

Congrats @PinkyPromise77 ! Flowers and thanks for the link!

@OwlPatrol me too, but its failing cos theres too much leftover xmas chocolate in the house! I have bought a new bike though so looking to get abit more exercise in.

CD6 today and AF is finally on the way out. So at the boring bit where im waiting for my surge lol

ImpatientMammy · 02/01/2018 14:10

Guys CM and OPK both indicate I ovulated around cycle day 15 then my temping suggests this no CM on the day fertility friend is showing I ovulated I've not been well and I know I have no chance this month (we've only BD'd once) but I'm just curious what yous think ? Any idea? X

January Bus - New Year, New Bumps Please!
HoneyCake86 · 02/01/2018 14:27

Id say ignore the crosshairs and listen to your bodily signs and the OPK hun

ImpatientMammy · 02/01/2018 14:30

Thanks @HoneyCake86 why's this so confusing 🤦🏻‍♀️ x

PinkyPromise77 · 02/01/2018 14:34

No problem @bubblybrit I have to say o almost had a small heart attack when I saw the prices for tests! I mean what the hell? 😱😱😱

@CoconutGal you may not be out babe! Fx for you as I know few people had BFN after af was late and then positive so I think it’s not over until af arrives so hope it works for you Hun x

@HoneyCake how are you getting on Hun? X

CoconutGal · 02/01/2018 14:42

@PinkyPromise77 I hope you're right. I'm reluctant to buy a more expensive test other than internet cheapies.

LostMyBaubles · 02/01/2018 14:43

Ooo honey now the fun begins lol
Fx there are more bfps rhis month to join us on the sept bus x

cakeanytype · 02/01/2018 14:52

I wasted 50 pound one month on tests 🤨 then discovered ic... happy days !

LostMyBaubles · 02/01/2018 14:56

Cakey wow!
I bought 25 for £2.50 from ebay lol

cakeanytype · 02/01/2018 15:17

Couldn't afford cake tht month ... I gt 40 fr 2.89 !!!

HoneyCake86 · 02/01/2018 15:28

Im good thank you, actually cant wait to get started. I have dozens of opks both ICs and CB digitals, been taking my meds religiously every day and got concieve plus at the ready too.. DP did one of them home sperm concentration tests which tested as ‘normal’ and im in a new cycle... so overall feeling eager to start Smile
Dr said it was likely that the pregnacare did cause the thyroid to go too high so ive stopped that and on seven seas. And finally after years of being on sertraline after postnatal depression we’re starting to wean me off them 🎉

@impatientmammy i find fertility friend doesnt always get it right, being automatically programmed to respond to certain patterns in temp. If your body is giving you more obvious signs and you have the opk to back it up id believe that over the app anyday xx

LostMyBaubles · 02/01/2018 15:30

Cake you got a better deal than me lol I was super happy with 25 lol

Honey that's really good things are looking up for you!

LostMyBaubles · 02/01/2018 15:31

Last cycle I took the mucus cough medicine too lol

bubblybrit · 02/01/2018 15:33

@pinkypromise77. I totally forgot that I had ordered IC just after Christmas. Arrived this afternoon Sad been sitting on my hands all day as these ones are supposed to be used the day of your missed period. Given that my cycles vary I’m not sure whether I’m 2 days late or AF is still due to make an appearance. Have feeling that if I test now that I will be disappointed

cakeanytype · 02/01/2018 16:12

Aww bubbly Brit ... I'm very scared this month every pos I've had this year has been lost n every negative jus tells me my age is catching up ....

HoneyCake86 · 02/01/2018 16:19

I hear ya! I had a thought this morning that in 10 years from now ill be nearly 42. I googled that they expect menopause to come from age 45. It made me feel anxious about time cos it seems to fly by.

Someone made a new bus cos we are nearly full here ☝🏻

bubblybrit · 02/01/2018 16:57

@cakeanytype. I’m really sorry to hear that. Fx that you get your BFP with sticky bean soon Smile. I’m
almost 34 and ttc#1 so unsure if I’m putting too much pressure on myself. Convinced myself that I’m pg this month so scared to poas in case it bursts the bubble!

hungryradish · 02/01/2018 17:26

Congrats pinky!

cakeanytype · 02/01/2018 17:34

I'm 37 in April...... 👀 my oh said wait let's try fr a bby in a few years .. I nearly choked on my cake ! No way matey

BaliBound · 02/01/2018 17:36

Congratulations @pinkypromise77

I've just ordered 2x frers and 2x cb digitals from Amazon as I was ordering something else anyway. I don't have prime but hopefully they'll come on Friday as predicted so I can poas Saturday morning (CD29) if no AF. I usually have 28 day cycles but last month was a 32 dayer so Im not entirely sure when to expect it.

FruitandNutty · 02/01/2018 17:43

Congrats Pinky!

bubblybrit · 02/01/2018 18:08

You get him told @cakeanytype. Men don’t have a clue and need some gentle persuasion!

PinkyPromise77 · 02/01/2018 18:26

Seriously guys have no concept of all this do they cakeanytype especially the age 😂
