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!

@CoconutGal yaaay we can support each other. The main thing for me is being able and being awake enough to dtd enough! I'm going yo have to find my mojo somewhere!!! Lol

Can I join please?
Hoping to start TTC #1 in the New Years. Came off the pill in October so just trying to sort out my cycle first!

Welcome @snowflake and @pink!

I took my first temp this morning. AF is on her way out which is great and looking forward to getting trying again.

Still waiting for AF (withdrawal bleed) this week. Been feeling horribly bloated since yesterday so it's definitely on the way. Just want it out the way now so we can get on with TTC! Trying the same way we did last time... DTD whenever we can and just hoping for the best. It worked before so fingers crossed!

Hi familiar faces! Started AF just now so December/Christmas baby surprise clearly wasn’t meant to be... hoping for a New Year bfp. As a recap I’m:
28
Ttc #1
Cycle 5

This month planning to do the SMEP properly as last month we did quite a few consecutive days and I worry about dh’s swimmers. I have had +opk and regular periods, plus good bbt charts with clear rises..

I think i’ll be joining ya soon fruitandnutty! Af should be here by tomorrow.

My stats guys

Welcome new bus passengers!

@misstomum just catching up on everyone’s stats and realised we are in a similar boat. I know how you feel, as I have lots of friends that just fell pg in the first month. I was so unaware of the length of time it can take, probably because I spent my teens/early20s being told ‘it only takes one time!’ And trying to avoid!

Hey Everyone

TTC:#1
AGE:24
CYCLE:#1

LOVING these threads. I’m the same as many of you, I’m doing my DPs head in by CONSTANTLY going on about it all the time. All I get is “you need to stop stressing” which I know he is right.

My best friend got her BFP on her first try and I’m so so happy for her but it’s just made me more desperate to get my BPF!

Today is CD9 - I haven no idea when AF is due as I range from 27-32 at the moment.
Debating DTD ED or EOD?! Really can’t decide as I’ve read positives on both parts.
Also no idea when I OV due to irregular cycles - got an OPK, any advice on when to start with those?

I too wanted the big December baby announcement but cried when AF arrived the last tone

AF due approx. 27th December-1 Jan!

@bubblybrit. Have you started using "The Sticks" again yet? Lol. I'm cd 28 today, no sign of flo but she might not be due until Sunday yet, so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed!

Welcome everyone! It's so exciting to feel like so many of us are in the same boat... I only just started on here but feels so weird using all those short names for things feeling like a pro haha but know you don't know sh*t as it's only your first month of trying LOL! Anyways AF due in 2-3 days (2 different apps) so we will see which one is more accurate that way too :) Good luck everyone

Can I join please?
Hoping to start ttc in the new year and I know af will be due at the end of January. I've got to take 5mg folic acid due to previous pregnancy with anencephaly.

32
#ttc number 5
Have children aged 14,10,7,5.

Wishing everyone good luck and having to restrain myself from starting to crochet a blanket

@HaveCourageBeKind LOL I know exactly what you mean - literally googled everything!

I too am using more than one app - they ALL say different

Fingers crossed for you

@lauraxgirl I was the same! First thing... Google was my friend to actually know what on EARTH are people talking about hehehehe :) x

Yes I have 3 apps just to see which one is more accurate and all kind of saying different thing...

Hello newbies!!

Omg this af week is dragging! I'm determined to get a sticky this month and I'll do anything I am even forsaking wine on Xmas party night! This girl means business after 13 months i am so ready now. I look back and I don't think I was properly ready in the early months but now I am.

I'm going to be an opk queen this month as well because I've been relaxed so far about it. I'm done with "if it happens it happens " lol

Afternoon, hope you don't mind me joining.

Post mini-pill AF started on Sunday 02nd and is practically finished now so CD 5.
TTC#1
Cycle 1.
AF due 01 Jan 18.

I've found so much information through the threads, particularly the fitbit one which has got me monitoring my rhr hourly daily.

Good luck to everyone for BPS in the New Year.

@LookingAtTheStars89. I’m due to start the sticks again on Monday! I better get that bloody static smiley this month lol 🙂 did you ever get your peak or did you continue to see the dreaded flashing smiley? Oh good luck. Hope flo is hibernating for 9 months! Keep me posted x

I'm out for December as AF has started today really thought I might have been preg because I had awful heavy and painful breasts. Like two bricks!
This all sucks. Think I have a cyst or something too

@fruitandnutty we sound very similar, I'm also 28, TTC #1 and I'm coming into cycle 6! Don't know what we're doing wrong, I have a 27-30 day cycle and I ovulate around day 14/15.
Couldn't be more textbook?!

Im overweight, so that might not be helping. Also suspect I have a hormone imbalance and possible endometriosis. Nothing confirmed yet

Good luck all.

Here's hoping for a new year's surprise!

@CRZ1988 what is this Fitbit thread? I LOVE my Fitbit and it’s a huge part of my lifestyle!

@fruitandnutty have you had bloods done for your hormones - I got an appointment to get mine checked straight away. Although I wanted to come away with more than that it’s a start! Stay positive

Sorry- prev comment to @SpongeCake23

Yay porkless pie ttc#5 buddy 😁🎉welcome!

Sorry to hear of the anencephaly that must have been utterly devastating

Mine are 11, 10, 8 and 4

At the moment we are just 'not preventing' and Dtd more in fw. I'm just hoping it happens for us like this! If not I'll ramp it up in the coming months!

@bubblybrit. You have to let me know if you get a static! Lol. I never did get one! If you get a static though I will give them another go next month if needs be. I might do cheapie ovulation tests along side them though. Fingers crossed I won't need to x

We are a similar age too Honey . It's taken lots of persuading to get dh onboard but I've been broody for over two years now.

@lauraxgirl its called fitbit & TTC www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2895915-fitbit-ttc

It's really interesting!
