Thought I'd start a new bus if that's okay as the Jan bus is getting quite full and I'm out of the loop.

I'll start with me

28
cycle 7
CD 14
Peak today on CBFM so should Ov tomorrow:-)
AF due 16/1

I have to say I'm fed up of this- we're using CBFM, softcups and preseed.

I don't know about anyone but me and DP are thoroughly fed up of having sex right now!! Although we're keeping it fun- to a degree. I wouldn't say we're dtd nearly enough this FW!

@winterwarmers. Flowers Sorry chicken x x

Congratulations @HoneyCake86 fingers crossed for you! @Owlpatrol I'm feeling really impatient too lol. Nearly tested today but I'm only 6/7 dpo so talked myself down eventually. By this time last cycle (miscarriage) I had a feeling I was pregnant, don't ask why, I just felt it but now...nothing, nada, none! Actually feel pretty energetic, totally the opposite of pregnant so got a feeling we will be out this month :/ Fingers, toes and all but legs crossed though 🙈😂

Emelene · 20/01/2018 21:38

Congratulations @HoneyCake86! I'm 9DPO I think, with AF not due for 5 days, but currently getting all my normal premenstrual symptoms and feeling distinctly not pregnant! Can't help but hope a bit but I haven't bought any tests and I am determined not to POAS unless AF is actually late. We will see. Grin

Has anyone got any tips to deal with baby bombs / pregnant friends? I have a very pregnant friend and one with a newborn, and I had such a surge of jealousy this week. Felt really guilty afterwards because obviously I wish them all the best and their happiness doesn't stop me getting pregnant! Anyone else been in the same boat? :/

HoneyCake86 · 20/01/2018 21:54

Dont feel bad hun. Its perfectly ok to feel how you feel when ttc specially after mc.
When i had my mc there was a friend on fb who was due and honestly every status was about her pregnancy, with hashtags like #pregnancyProblems #only when pregnant blah blah.... it was as if shes the only woman ever to be pregnant.
Now shes had the baby and is the same but with a newborn. Fair enough to her ya know being a proud mumma but i had to unfollow her lol 🙈😂 it was tough when you are anxious and suffering a loss or fertility issues or even just ttc unsuccessfully for a while, without others happiness being all around you. Allow yourself your feelings hun Flowers

LookingAtTheStars89 · 20/01/2018 21:58

@Kkk87. Thanks :-) I'm not sure I'm going to test tomorrow if she's a no show. I really don't want to see a bfn Sad

bubblybrit · 20/01/2018 22:31

Good luck if you do decide to test @LookingAtTheStars89 🤞 xx

LookingAtTheStars89 · 20/01/2018 22:34

@bubblybrit. Ahh thanks lovely lady :-) How is everything with you?

bubblybrit · 21/01/2018 13:21

@LookingAtTheStars89. I’ve just had my first flashing smiley this morning so expecting static over the next day or so!! Have you decided whether to test today or not? Would you be testing early? X

LookingAtTheStars89 · 21/01/2018 13:25

@bubblybrit. Woohoo! Go Go you! What cd are you? I'm on cd 37, so I'm a day late! Well, I'm assuming I'm a day late, I suppose in theory I could already be several days late! I'm going to test tomorrow because I need a higher dose of folic acid so if it's positive tomorrow I will be booking an emergency doctors appointment!

bubblybrit · 21/01/2018 13:35

@LookingAtTheStars89. I’m currently CD17. Last month I ovulated CD18/19 so hopefully similar this month! Oh that’s exciting....I’ll be thinking about you....hopefully another BFP 🙂 you must update tomorrow 🤞🤞 xx

HoneyCake86 · 21/01/2018 13:36

@Emelene my 3 best friends are pregnant and now my gym buddy is too 😂 there's no one really left that I'm super close too so at least I know it's my turn next. I think of it as ready made friends for my my soon to be conceived baby 🤞 x

Emelene · 21/01/2018 17:21

@ImpatientMammy that's a nice way to think of it! Smile

xLauraa · 21/01/2018 18:03

Congrats to MORE BFPS!!!! So exciting!
I feel nothing out of the ordinary this cycle so not getting my hopes up! Around 9DPO, AF due anytime from Thursday -it's been a long month!

LookingAtTheStars89 · 21/01/2018 19:45

@bubblybrit. I will update you :-) no sign Of flo yet.

@HoneyCake86. I got to the bloody shop too late to get a frer lol. Seriously. I live next to a co op - do you think their tests will be any good? They are called Early Sign or something.

Celebelly · 21/01/2018 19:51

Are they Acutest Early Sign? They are 25m/iu so not v sensitive compared to FRER

Celebelly · 21/01/2018 19:52

But if you're actually late, they might well show a result. Just not if you were testing days before AF was due.

HoneyCake86 · 21/01/2018 19:53

Yes stars i found coop ones to be good, they are pink dye ones. Obvs not as good as frers but its better than a clearblue xx

LookingAtTheStars89 · 21/01/2018 20:20

I always roll my eyes when I see a clear blue - the blue line ones are pants! I will pick up a co op one in a bit ready for the morning x

ImpatientMammy · 22/01/2018 08:58

Are OPKs still strong on the day of ovulation? Had 48 hours of posative and pow this one this morning is negative but a very strong negative 🤔 x

January/Feb bus
xLauraa · 22/01/2018 09:08

@ImpatientMammy I'm not 100% sure, but I think you ovulate after you get the positive. I say this because whenever I enter into FF that I've had a + OPK it shows me as ovulated the following day
Hope this helps
