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!

Hello.
Can I join the other bus is getting very full 😂

Age:24
Ttc: #1
Been trying 5 months but cycles have been all over the shop since coming off contraception (had a bit of an horrendous time 😢)

Hoping 2018 is going to be our lucky year 🍀

This week should be our fertile week but trying to take a relaxed approach to trying (which also translates to I’ve just moved and I cannot find the box with the opk’s in)

Xx

Aghh this is the 3rd morning I have got a positive OPK and it is SUPER dark!! I told myself I wouldn't do anymore but curiosity got the better of me. DP and i agreed last night would be the last night dtd...have we got timing all wrong?! My OPKs on monday and tues were as dark as the control line which is why I took them as a positive 😖

Hi there,
This is my first time joining in as first month of "proper" trying (we were waiting for the new year because of weddings/events end of last year but had some accidents)
Stats are:
31
Cycle #1
CD 16
AF due 16th
Managed a fair bit of DTD in fertile week but missed NYE due to being away with friends and staying in a not very private cottage. not sure if I might have ovulated earlier than usual (been tracking my cycle) so worried we might have missed the boat a little. Due to ov today according to my app but had EWCM a few days back now and temp has started to rise so think it might have been on the 1st or 2nd. About to enter my first proper 2ww and keep the crazy at bay!

Yes to those saying about obsessing! I've spent far more time than is healthy reading everything online about conceiving, symptom spotting, and generally driving myself mad. Not sure how to stop either!

@sophherts. AF due between now and Sunday so I’m desperately trying to not poas before then! Have taken 2 tests so far - clearly negative - and could have kicked myself for testing too early 😡!! Fx for both of us xx

I was naughty and bought the 4 FRERs for £15.75 from amazon. Needed to buy oven gloves anyway (DP left ours on the cooker top so they got burned 🙄) so i bought them too to qualify for free delivery. So thats about 3.94 per test 😆

Needed to fill the void of waiting for ov.. is that sad? Probably 😂

I was also temporarily on the December bus, but we didn't really try. Somehow need to casually convince DP that trying this month isn't that, to keep it fun. First proper month trying for #2, been tracking cycle length for the last 2 years (23-35, average 28). AF due 24th Jan.

@Upsydasiy it's awful isn't it?! Hopefully this'll be the month. If not, I'm going to try and limit my googling (not sure whether that will work!).

@xLauraa they worked for me I think! Got a v clear positive cd16. Af due Sunday so I'll let you know if they helped!

@bubblybrit same!! 2 v white bfn's so I'm not going to test tomorrow. We're moving house on Friday though so I might test that morning and if it's a bfn then I'll wait until Monday. Ugh, hate the tww

I'm obsessed. Trying for number 3. Don't know what cycle day I am because stopped the pill mid pack mid December. I'm reading all about how soon you can ovulate! Of course how long is a piece of string. I'm not going down the opk temping route just yet but have bought some epts on ebay and some fr too. Because I'm a serial tester. Ill probably take one whenever they arrive. Think it said next week even though. My stomach feels different already but I think it may be the Christmas excesses. Goodluck everyone

@Bumplovin you must be my TTC twin! I too am 36, TTC#2 and my DD is also 13 months! I told my Dr. during my postpartum check up that I was ready to be pregnant again and he told me to wait at least 9 months. But of course at 9 months I still haven't had a period. Finally got my first period beginning of November when breastfeeding slowed significantly. Good luck to you!!

@PorklessPie

I am! I have a 13 month old currently but barely use the one we have. I love baby wearing instead (she is starting to get heavy though) and we have a jogger but it is so big and heavy I hate taking it anywhere. I have a GB QBIT umbrella type stroller which fits in the overhead bins on airplanes. I got that one specifically for air travel but now use that anytime I need a pram. Wish I got something more comfortable for baby and easy for me to carry around.

I had a beautiful inglesina classica for my youngest. Cost a fair bit and was hardly used, I sold it when we moved. I'm drooling looking at the silvercross Kensington Blush I'm wondering if I should start saving up Grin

Thanks nelleb I hope so too. I found SMEP good actually, dp was off work for xmas hols during fw so that was handy but I don't think we'd manage it most months.

Oh tiny that sounds so painful, hope that goes away soon.

Sorry to hear about your journey glitter that really is a long time. I really don't understand why the nhs won't help you! Have you tried getting a second opinion? Have they done any tests? I know of lots of people at all sorts of weights being offered nhs treatment. Good luck to you.

I was so nauseas again this morning. It was noticed by my friend who knows I am trying and she is all excited now. I feel I'm letting myself in for disappointment though!

I've got a tight pulling feeling in my tummy today and slight streaking/pink blood. Doesn't feel like usual period pain and mine is usually very noticeable, this feels more like wind type pain or something. Wondering if it's AF coming a couple of days before Flo predicted or if it could be implantation...possibly wishful thinking on my part Blush

Loving the pram chat! I'm going to do some research when I get home (how horrible is going back to work!)
