Thanks @foody, just feeling very emotional and teary, think it’s all the hormones too.

RhiBee29 · 31/12/2017 11:32

Sorry for your loss @Kit1411 be kind to yourself. I miscarried in June at 6.4wks bled for 9 days. We took a couple of months off from TTC as I wasn't ready but Midwife said we could try again as soon as the bleeding stopped x

mamaiFifi · 31/12/2017 12:06

@Kit1411 sorry for your loss.

I am on cd 6 and just got a positive OPK, I ordered clear blue fertility monitor but away for a few days and hadn't arrived before I left. I do sometimes have a 22 day cycle so I am so confused.

TTC #2 January BFPs
MynameisJune · 31/12/2017 14:02

@kit I’m so sorry to see you here, it’s so similar to what happened to be in October. I got a bfp on my birthday and then started bleeding the following Monday. Be kind to yourself and I’m here if you want to chat.

Welcome to all the newbies.

Kit1411 · 31/12/2017 14:08

Thanks all just keep breaking down and crying. I’m sure I’ll feel better soon.

Flybynight1 · 31/12/2017 22:18

Even though there is ZERO chance of my being pregnant this cycle (bar immaculate conception) I still POAS just incase 😂😂 of course its negative!

Hope everyone is enjoying some NYE bubbles! Onwards and upwards to 2018 BFPs

Sending enormous hugs to Kit and to everyone else who has suffered losses on their ttc journey - I know from experience how heartbreaking it can be.

Happy new year, onwards and upwards xx

muffyduffster · 01/01/2018 10:10

Morning all 👋🏻
Was on the December bus but AF due today... no sign of her yet and I've been reasonably regular since stopping breastfeeding a few months back. Took an FRER test before I came away for new year and it was BFN but still crossing fingers! Will test again tomorrow if still no period.
Age: 38
TTC #2 (DD is 13 months)
Cycle 1

LopeyLopez · 01/01/2018 11:33

Happy New Year folks 👍

Joining from the Dec thread. AF due 8th Jan....or not, hopefully!

On cycle 11 now, 5 dpo; next one will be cycle 12 😞

Stats:
Age 37
DS is 2
TTC #2 properly since March 2017; ntnp since Sept 2015!

Funkyemzie · 01/01/2018 13:48

Damn it!!! Bloody FF keeps changing my ovulation dates because I never get positive OPK's it just goes off my temp and cm. Well temps have been all over the place this month due to a cold that I just can't shift and had 2 patches of ewcm. First batch we possibly have a good chance, second patch of ewcm is not looking good, so sick of this!!! Due af 10th Jan, guess it's just a countdown now.

Sorry to hear of your loss @fia thats crap babes. Sad

Funkyemzie · 01/01/2018 13:50

Sorry that was meant to say @kit, autocorrect, supposed to be a sad face too. Either way, it's terrible news hun. Xxx

user7654321 · 01/01/2018 14:06

Can I join too please?

Cycle 1
DS1 is 20 months
AF/BFP due 12th Jan

FuzzInMyBrain · 01/01/2018 22:41

Joining in too!

Age: 29
DS: 6 months
Cycle: still BF and AF hasn't returned so just hoping to catch the first ovulation!

Because I have no idea where I am in my cycle I'm confused as to when (or if) I should be testing? We DTD a few weeks ago and my OPKs were fairly dark (although not quite positive), so how many days should I leave before I POAS?

muffyduffster · 02/01/2018 07:33

Morning everyone!
Just took a test as I was due yesterday (but the the FRER didn't show anything so I had a couple of drinks on NYE) and got my BFP! Waiting for DH to wake up so I can tell him first (rather than my sister last time Blush)
Wishing you all baby dust for 2018

Congratulations Muffy. Here’s hoping this is the first BFP of many on this thread!

Waves back at Lopey - I shall be keeping everything crossed that this is your cycle. Xxx

Thank you Cariad!

ViviPru · 02/01/2018 08:57

Hello and happy new year all, congratulations Muffy
Well I can’t quite believe I’m back on MN conception threads, but here goes.

Age 38
DD age 3 on Saturday
Cycle #1
AF/BFP due 8 Jan

I’m pretty keen to have a spring/summer baby this time if possible so if no bfp this month, I think we’ll sit tight until later in the year.

tappitytaptap · 02/01/2018 15:03

I thought I'd be less obsessive when TTC #2 than I was with DS but its doing my head in almost as much as last time! Anyone got any tried and tested ways to keep your mind off it? Am hoping when I go back to work will have less chance to think about it.

Mileymoocow · 02/01/2018 17:53

Sorry for your loss @kit it's so hard to cope with, the elation of your bfp and all the plans and milestones you have in your head only for it all to come crashing down. Be kind to yourself Flowers

I think I have an almost positive opk (maybe. Who knows.) MC bleeding stopped on 23rd December so will await af and start trying again.

TTC #2 January BFPs
Peanut1980 · 02/01/2018 20:34

@vivipru the only thing about having summer babies is when they start school they can almost be a year younger than the older children. My son is an August baby and is the youngest in his class. To be honest right now I just want to fall pregnant but if I could choose timing I’d rather go for an autumn/winter baby x

CatRen27 · 03/01/2018 00:13

Hi all, I name changed (Sydbound here). Exciting that we've already had a bfp on the thread! Congrats Flowers

I'm following the SMEP as best I can this month, and just wanted to borrow your OPK eyes to check that I've got my ov date right. The CD15 one is positive, right? CD16 looks lighter no?

We didn't DTD from CD8 as recommended, as I was (oddly) spotting after AF ended for a couple of days. We went for it on CD13, 15 and 16 and hoping for one more on CD17 just to be sure... DH is beside himself, we hardly ever shag this frequently..

CatRen27 · 03/01/2018 00:16

@Miley I'd say that is almost positive - did you test in the afternoon? Some cycles that's as dark as I get them, as I've missed the surge in the day. Compare with tomorrow's and you'll see I guess!
