January/Feb bus

[LowanBehold]

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!

Birdie, I can def see something in that pic. Fingers crossed!

I can see that too. Congrats celebelly!

&birdie :)

Yay cellebelly! That looks like the first bfp i had! Congrats! 💐🎉

My cycle was long after my mc in sept/oct ... think it's nature's way ... hugs @LookingAtTheStars89 ...you will gt it xxx

Congratulations any bfps ...

I'm 5 weeks 3 today n morning sickness is kicking in .. good sign iam praying ... still checking every single time I go to the toilet

Loads of CM but now some with a pinkish tinge. I guess that's me out.

@Celebelly yay congratulations!!!!

So gutted. I know it was only the first month, but the first DC was an accident so I kinda hoped it might happen quickly. Can't talk to any of my friends about this as they have been unable to conceive at all so it wouldn't be fair

BFN on FRER for me at (around)11DPO! Kinda knew it, feel nothing this cycle- but still gonna try again Thursday unless AF arrives first. I'm not usually fussy for testing but my doctors have just said it's up to an 18 WEEK wait to even get a date for a scan 😔 so I want a BFP first

@cakeanytype glad to see its going ok i will be 4 weeks tomorrow, i cant wait for af due date to disappear! Nausea is there v v v occasionally and mild but im starting to go off certain foods xx

@LookingAtTheStars89. I have just been catching up on the threads as been working away from home recently. So sorry to hear about your BFN. Could it just be that you ovulated later than what you thought? So might still be in with a chance? X

Sorry I'm new to this app and have posted this on a thread of its own but you all sound like you know what you're talking about and I'm going out of my mind. Need someone to talk to that understands. I don't have a clue what all the abbreviations you're using mean.

I don’t know if it’s wishful thinking or I’m fooling myself.

I had sex on day 14 of cycle, ovulation I think was around day 14-16

Spotting occurred on day 21-25, it varied from brown to pink to red but was nowhere near what my periods would be like, they’re usually heavy to the extent where I need trousers changed cos a tampon and a pad don’t hold it. Sorry I know that’s tmi! My period usually lasts a full 7 days aswell!

So now I’m on Day 33 of my cycle no period And no positive pregnancy test results... I've been using the dipstick ones.

When do I hold off until for the next test? I don’t want to go to my dr for a blood test yet incase it comes back negative as I think that would get to me more that I’d allowed myself to get excited enough to see my dr... if that makes sense?

Please if anyone has any advice I’d be grateful!

Other symptoms I’ve had since day 21 have been irregular but I’m listing them just incase...

Feeling sick, fatigue, not as hungry, headaches, lower back pain and now today I’ve had slight pains on bottom right hand abdomen. I also feel like I need to pee all the time but when I try to go I don’t need to.

@bubblybrit. Hey there lovely lady! I was so upset yesterday - I know it's silly. If I go my the day I had the most cm then that would be cd29/cd30 - can you even ovulate that late?! I'm off to the doctors later as I'm feeling rubbish - I will see what she says. Have you had your peak yet?

@LookingAtTheStars89. It’s not silly at all. Ttc is such a rollercoaster of emotions! If this is a longer cycle than usual then it’s totally possible to ovulate CD29/30. Think the first cycle I tracked was 40 days and I ovulated around CD28/29. Ah it’s rubbish feeling ill when ttc. My DH has the flu so doubt I’ll be in with any chance this cycle. Still getting flashing smiley 😢 was expecting peak today but perhaps will see it tomorrow. Only issue is that not sure DH will be up for dtd. Last time was Sunday so little or no chance unless I can convince him tomorrow.....

@bubblybrit. We had stopped dtd from cd31 as we thought we were at the finishing line! My body certainly thinking is as all of my lubrication has dried up lol (sorry tmi) If I ov'd anytime after cd36 then I have missed the boat! If you aren't pregnant, you almost want that five days off to recharge and get back in the mood!

I hope you get your static soon:-) stupid flashing face! Man I hated those.

I went to my Drs surgery earlier and saw the nurse, she tested my wee and said it was clear but just to be sure she's given me a three day course of baby friendly anti biotics. I have been peeing a lot, that can sometimes happen when flo is about to visit me, so we will see.

She also booked me in to see my actual gp to discuss my wonky cycles lol which is good. The nurse said sometimes miscarriages do that.

@LookingAtTheStars89. I appreciate that it is frustrating but at least it is getting investigated now. Hopefully the gp can give you a little reassurance/suggest course of action regarding your cycles.

Hopefully see that peak shortly. Just need to hope that DH is well enough to do his part. Although if not at least I won’t need to face the disappointment that I did last cycle! I know that we dtd at the right time and even eat healthily with very little alcohol over Christmas and still nothing! Doesn’t seem as bad if the only reason that it doesn’t happen is cos we didn’t dtd at the right time due to illness. In my head that’s a legitimate reason rather than thinking why didn’t it happen when we did everything right. Not sure if that’s very clear but know what I mean in my head lol 🙂

@bubblybrit. I hope so. Although when I mention to anyone about trying for a fourth, they all look at me gone out! It's like, wow I'm sorry, I didn't realise there was a limit!

Yeah I know what you mean. It's frustrating when you've dtd at the right time but nothing happens. Or even worse, you may not have even ovulated after putting in all that effort lol!! I'm not going to lie, when flo didn't turn up I really thought we'd done it. I wish she had just turned up to be honest!

Hello all waves is there a seat for me to hop back on? MC this week, very miserable but thanks to good old MN feeling a lot more positive this morning and inspired by tales of wild and sticky fertility post-MC keen to get back on the horse, so to speak. And missing my virtual mates. Still a couple of weeks off ovulation but feel this is a positive step in the right direction. Sorry but selfishly nice IYKWIM to see a few familiar names - hope you are all OK x

I did my second FRER test this morning, 3days pre-AF and first morning wee and it was definitely a BFN. Onwards to next month....

@AaronPurrSir me too! But we're not out until AF arrives! 😊

Remember stars’ motto ‘youre not out til the red lady sings’ 🙂

Well I am in limbo still! Four days late and still no flo! Not tested for two days but will be testing at the end of the week.

I'm in the last bit of my 2WW, AF due tomorrow and feeling like she's coming, but still can't help but hope. My plan is to do a FRER on Friday if AF hasn't shown up. Fingers crossed we can get a few more BFPs on this bus before the end of January!
