I had a chemical in Sep. Then this was the first month trying since then. I feel very lucky (if this works out). I already have s beautiful Dd too.

Aph413 · 06/02/2018 21:25

Looks like I'm in for a long cycle again. Day 25 and this is the closest to positive I've had all cycle. Hoping tomorrow is a definite positive since I'm getting slight cramping tonight but no fertile CM

Feb Bus! Fingers crossed
Westieandlittleboymama · 06/02/2018 22:25

Thanks everyone, glad I've got pals on the TTW!! @Penny31 I see it, congrats

MissDollyMix · 06/02/2018 22:34

Congratulations @penny31 definitely a line!
Heading in the right direction @aph413 Hope tomorrow brings a nice bold positive.

AF still not here but have the sort of sharp crampy feeling I would associate with my period so still expecting it any minute. Will test tomorrow morning. DH in a bad way about it this evening. Not sure what I can say to make him feel better. He feels guilty that he put off trying for so long and thinks it’s his fault we’re struggling to conceive now which it kind of is

Salsadip · 06/02/2018 23:42

Hi everyone!

Hoping I can join the Feb bus a bit late. I have a 30 day cycle and my AF isn't due until 24/2 onwards... So I will be here 'til the bitter end (probably using up lots of tests far too early through getting excited by all your BFPs!)

Also just realised Feb only has 28 days so I might be on the wrong bus! I don't know the rules Grin

Age: 31
TTC #1
Cycle 2

Good luck everybody! X

FrowningFlamingo · 06/02/2018 23:56

salsadip I'm usually right at the end of he month too so am last one on the bus - missed my stop and fell asleep Grin
Though my cycles are quite short so I'm getting earlier - clue says I'm due on the 17th. Feels a bit early so I won't get too excited if there's no AF quite then.
Stats:
29 (almost 30)
TTC #1
Cycle 4 (I actually thought it was more like 6-7 but I've realised my first was a half cycle so probably doesn't count and I'm clearly just not very good at counting months Blush)

MissDollyMix · 07/02/2018 06:20

@salsadip don’t worry! There were a few of us on the November bus right up until mid December, waiting for missing AF!

I POAS first thing this morning. I knew it would be negative. Don’t even know why I bothered. If I’d wiped first I would have seen that AF had already arrived. It wasn’t our month. ‘tis the March bus for me now. Good luck to everyone else here. Hopefully I won’t see any of you on the March bus!

Coffeewithmyoxyg3n · 07/02/2018 10:35

Think Af turned up this morning. Still lighter than usual but imagine it will get heavier. So disappointed as thought we had a good chance this month. Still only the 3rd month coming off the pill and my periods are super irregular so who knows.

Happysbno4 · 07/02/2018 13:42

Thank you... this is hard work.
DH was not up to much...😣 think that puts us out but AF due 22/2

Bwe123 · 07/02/2018 16:56

Hoping I can join please ladies?
Having had a MMC in October, we are now desperately trying -probably why it isn’t happening!!
TTC #1, waiting for af or bfp at the end of the month I hope!

Secondtimelucky1980 · 07/02/2018 20:08

Congrats penny

Cammy I am so sorry! I think I'll be joining you on the March bus as my tummy is getting more and more uncomfortable which is what happens for me before AF. I did a FRER today and it was BFN but I think I'll just stop testing now as it is torture and bloody expensive! I hope you are feeling OK?

Welcome to the newbies! Let's wish us all luck.

Who is next to test?

xx

winterwarmers · 07/02/2018 20:24

Been doing Smep this month dtd Monday had positive opk yesterday dtd temp rise tip his morning dtd the evening I don't want to have sex again tomorrow do you think I'm covered?

Cammy30 · 07/02/2018 20:47

I’m ok @Secondtimelucky1980 just excited to get going again this month! Though the nausea I was feeling last week and took as pg symptoms came to a head at 1am last night and I was very ill, took my first day off work in years! I hope you get good news this week and AF stays away! Keep us posted xx

Secondtimelucky1980 · 07/02/2018 20:53

Oh no you poor thing! Are you feeling better now? My nausea from earlier in the week has gone now too so reckon I had a bug too. It’s all so confusing and disorientating.

Hope you have a lovely eve. Will join you on the March bus! Xxx

Hopehope20 · 07/02/2018 21:51

@Yukka thank you for your kind word. Been such a mess last few days but pulling back out of it now. Bless my other half for putting up with this each month! I used opks for the first time last month so going to give those another go. Also trying grapefruit juice and I am temping this month too. Sucks you are away for your fw....it is so hard to keeo motivated when that happens. I guess try to see the positive of giving yourself a month off from the worry and pressure....that should then put you in a good position for next month xx

dontquit · 07/02/2018 22:50

Just wondering what OPKs ye are using. Last month had some baby mad ones left over from before and got a clear positive on cd14. This month have one step OPKs. Not finding them great. Control line there but not a very strong colour. On CD16 now and think I saw a faint line the other day but nothing since. Had small bit of ewcm today (usually get loads for about a week). Cervix High still and feels at its softest and most open today and had temp dip this morn (although only temping last 5days.
This is all so frustrating!! Have visitors staying now until Friday then I'm away for the weekend so not going to much if any chance to dtd from now on

Owlpatrol · 07/02/2018 23:04

Hi ladies I'm keeping an eye on this still as due 1st March so may be early! I'll be keeping fx for you all xx

Aph413 · 07/02/2018 23:29

dontquit I'm also using onestep after babymad not had any problems apart from my cycles being wonky. These are my tests today which are lighter than yesterday's and still not positive

Feb Bus! Fingers crossed
dontquit · 08/02/2018 00:17

Thanks @Aph413. Your bottom one there looks pretty dark.. so if they are lighter today do you think you ov'd yeasterday?
Another question..is there a particular time of the day we should test? Think I read before about this but can't remember. And how many times a day? I've being testing first thing in the morning and then at night but some days forgot the morning one. Maybe I've missed ov..really thrown this month by lack of ewcm!

Penny31 · 08/02/2018 06:08

I’m still not sure what is going on. Did another ic this morning and the line is so faint, I’m worried about it not getting stronger.

Secondtimelucky1980 · 08/02/2018 07:05

How many days post ovulation are you penny? Can you try a clearblue one with the weeks indicator? They are pretty reliable? Xx

Penny31 · 08/02/2018 07:42

I’m 12dpo. I’ll pick one up at lunch time I think

winterwarmers · 08/02/2018 08:58

2dpo i am exhausted from smep fx the two isn’t to agonising and i am going to attempt not to test early (i have 4 frer) in my draw

PassTheAfterEights · 08/02/2018 09:32

Also 2 dpo and exhausted, didn't manage SMEP but DTD x 5 over FW so hopefully given things a good shot. Assuming the dates are right post-mc 🤷‍♀️ but had all the symptoms of ovulation when predicted

sodababy2 · 08/02/2018 09:51

7DPO here and googling 'tingly nipples' like a mad person....
