Welcome @MrsFraserB and @AnnaMC214. I had Mirena coil as well, for eight years, and no AF during that time, but it came back right away after removal.

@cupcakesandglitter men can be oblivious to how we feel in response to their actions and while they think something isn't a big deal (like not waking up early) they also think it's not such a big deal to us. So his actions most likely weren't malicious since I heard you speak highly of him before. Hugs. If you're a planner, explain to him that it highly upsets you when he doesn't care to adhere to plans, especially if they're important to you or you're having a hard time.

Hi all. Back from the doctors - negative urine test, I've been told to wait a week and see what happens. But pointless really, knew that myself. Just not going to test and wait for AF. Row with DH went from bad to worse and so I'm just gonna go to bed. Thankyou all for being there - Happy New Year x

Welcome @MrsFraserB and @AnnaMC214

I’ve started to get ov pains now so should hopefully ov on Wednesday or Thursday. I assume it won’t be tomorrow as I haven’t had a +ve opk yet.

stormtrooperjulian · 31/12/2018 18:10

Ah @cupcakesandglitter I didn’t see your post before I posted. Sorry the doctor wasn’t more helpful! Did they have any suggestions on why your af could be late? I hope you can make up with your DH soon. Does he understand that you need some extra TLC at the moment?

Babytrain89 · 31/12/2018 18:24

@cupcakesandglitter aww sorry to hear you are in limbo and that your DH isn't helping. I find that my OH is far too logical about stuff...which I find infuriating and if I get upset about it and there is no logical solution immediately he struggles. Maybe it's the same for yours? Hope you're ok and everything is better in the morning.

@MrsLBear congratulations!!! There is no doubting that positive.

Hope you are all doing ok! Here's hoping there is a full house of BFPs in 2019!! I'm sat here with a glass of prosecco (I'm very much out and into my next cycle) thinking how different next NYE could be! Good luck to everyone and a Happy New Year.

GemmaJen · 31/12/2018 18:31

@cupcakesandglitter I'm so sorry chick. Take it easy, tomorrow is a whole new year, the BFP is coming X

KatBeCool · 31/12/2018 18:40

@stormtrooperjulian I'm curious, you get ovulation pains before ovulation? I always thought it happens during ovulation.

@cupcakesandglitter it'll pass, we're here for you.

FlapJackered · 31/12/2018 18:42

@cupcakesandglitter I'm sorry hun. As @GemmaJen says tomorrow is another day and another year. We are here if you need us. X

MrsFraserB · 31/12/2018 18:44

@cupcakesandglitter falling out is never nice, hope you make up soon!

@babytrain89 that's a lovely (and exciting) thought! Fingers crossed.

Thanks @katbecool @stormtrooperjulian hi!

I'm having a night in with husband. Non-alcoholic fizz for me! Would love to be pregnant in Jan but know it could take longer or not happen at all, we just don't know! Earliest we could know would be 13th Jan I think.

Wishing everyone a happy 2019 and crossing fingers for all of us.

FlapJackered · 31/12/2018 18:45

Welcome @MrsFraserB, @AnnaMC214 I am with you on the bus threads they go too fast for me! This one is such a lovely thread full of lovely people. I think I would have lost the plot by now without them.

FlapJackered · 31/12/2018 18:48

Happy New Year everyone!!!!
I am taking advantage of my depressing bfn this morning and having a last cocktail fuelled evening (which I will no doubt regret! 😂) before a dry and active January! 🎆 🍸 see you in 2019! ❤️

AnnaMC214 · 31/12/2018 18:55

Thank you all for the welcome Smile.

I thought this looked like a lovely bunch of supportive people and this ttc thing is already in danger of making me crazy!

@Babytrain89 I'm also out this month and on the fizz tonight after spending my ttw over Christmas abstaining for absolutely no reason as it turned out!

@cupcakesandglitter I'm really sorry you're having such a hard time of it and you're DH isn't any help. Mine is always guaranteed to say something to make it worse whenever I'm upset!

Wishing you all lots of success and baby dust in 2019! Smile

Jessikka · 31/12/2018 19:13

I'm a happy little trier tonight guys!

For the first time I have EWCM! woohoo! I'm super happy! I feel like I'm properly trying now and not in my "only just started so no idea where I am" limbo!

MrsAW2018 · 31/12/2018 20:18

Hey ladies,

Just wanted to pop on here to say hello and happy new year! I'm on CD15 and just waiting for a positive OPK. Doing SMEP again this month. Fingers crossed for lots of BFPs on this thread in 2019! Xxx

19Bee2 · 31/12/2018 20:25

Evening all, just wanting to wish everyone a Happy New Year, however you are celebrating. A brand new year ahead full of good news on this thread I expect!
Thank you for the warm welcome and welcome to other newbies!
Sorry to hear of your tough time @cupcakesandglitter I hope you can rest, look after yourself and move forward with a fresh day tomorrow. X

thosethreewords · 31/12/2018 20:28

Oh god so much to catch up on 😂😂
@MrsLBear YEYYYYYYEYYYY!! Amazing news! What a clear line!

ohio91 · 31/12/2018 20:36

Hey everyone! Happy New year 🎉
I've been lurking quite a lot for the last 6 weeks probably. I posted once or twice on one of the Jan bus threads but pretty much just a lurker of all the threads lol.

Age - 27
TTC - #1
Cycle - 2
CD - 13

We sort of tried last month, but got dates all wrong because I honestly didn't know what I was doing or looking for in terms of ovulation. I came off cerazette in September and since then have had what appears to be very normal periods. Which is a little unusual because before is started taking the pill 5 years ago I had quite irregular periods and while taking the pill I probably had AF show up 5 times in 5 years... But im hoping the fact it seems regular now is a good sign.

This month we have been trying properly. I've been doing opks, using apps, using preseed and taking prenatals. Trying to be optimistic, but it's terrifying not knowing if my DH and I are even fertile! haven't had a surge on the OPKs yet, going by the apps I should be having a surge today or tomorrow. We have been DTD almost every night for the last week and going to keep it going until I see that positive OPK so we have all bases covered 😂

I'll be ringing in the new year 5 hours later than the rest of you seeing as I am living in america but I hope everyone has a lovely evening and baby dust to all of us for 2019 ✨

Syncope · 31/12/2018 20:46

Wow this thread moves fast! 😂

Huge congratulations @MrsLBear, what a great line! Glad you found the CB digital OPKs helpful, I'm trying them for the first time this month.

@cupcakesandglitter sorry you're having a rotten time - I hope tomorrow is a better day.

@Jessikka coming off hormonal contraception can give you all sorts of symptoms! I'm sure that's exacerbated by the fact that you're so much more aware of any symptoms when TTC as you're watching out for them. Fingers crossed that it all settles down quickly for you.

Hi @AnnaMC214, welcome from another newbie! @MrsFraserB I'm just a little behind you I think - AF should be due around 16th Jan although I haven't ov'd yet according to the OPKs so we'll see. Having a quiet night in with DH too.

MrsH497 · 31/12/2018 20:52

Happy new year! Thought I'd get in early as I'm working until 3am!
Baby dust for us all!!

thosethreewords · 31/12/2018 21:09

And hello to @AnnaMC214 and @MrsFraserB FX for lots of new year BFPs!!

EltzBee · 31/12/2018 21:13

@cupcakesandglitter sending hugs your way xx

ValidUser · 31/12/2018 22:03

@cupcakesandglitter hugs! DM if you ever need support. AF arrived today. Cycle 7.

Surgery hopefully I'm cycle 8, but I'm losing hope.

KatBeCool · 31/12/2018 23:08

Happy new year, everyone! Let's make some 2019 babies!

@ValidUser don't lose hope. You aren't having your surgery for no reason. It'll help.

MrsFraserB · 31/12/2018 23:14

@annamc214 yep, just getting the hang of the bus, acronyms, apps etc!

@syncope using an app, which reckons af due on 13th but it's probably wrong as I was late last month by almost a week. I guess that means ov coulda been out too. Think I'll try the OPKs if not pregnant in Jan

ValidUser · 31/12/2018 23:17

@KatBeCool you're so right! It's just truly stressing me out.

We're prepared and financially able for children and it's just like a punishment for a childhood infection. Paranoid? Me? Never!

Thanks for listening to my rants. It does help. ❤️
