It’s a New Year TTC bitches and of course it’s time for a new bus...

2020 was a bit of a TWATFACE for us
2021...is surely EXACTLY the number of babies we are owed by now.

We’ve read up on what we need to do to get pregnant, if you haven’t, see last bus or read my hotly anticipated blog and join us.

We are here, we are ready, so get your tickets for the bus, grab your seat, your roadie & your snacks cos I’ve sent out the memo to the stalks- bring us our babies!

Story so far...

June 24 BFPs
July 11 BFPs
August 18 BFPs
Sep 4 BFPs
Oct 7 BFPs
Nov 7 BFPs
Dec 14 BFPs
2 sneaky ones just before New Year!

2 BFP already for jan!

So what’s everyone’s New Years resolutions then? Who is gonna get the first BFP of 2021?
And what should be the title of my new blog?🤔

@paintfairy yeah the opks are so hit and miss, I started using the cb digi opks again from this morning as thought they might help me again? I used them a few months ago and they were more accurate than a standard ic opk but they are so costly lol xx just have to wait and see if its AF on her way for a surprise visit

@Vil10 yeah I only really had watery for one day on 1st jan, so if ovulation was then I'd only be 3 dpo so the pink cm is too early for anything surely :/
Unless I missed ovulation all together and AF is on her way (maybe the seven seas and myo inositol has helped shorten my cycle) xx

@HollieL567 might need a POASA too. Still peeing on them but they are getting a lot darker now so starting to relax ever so slightly. Have worked out the earliest date I can get a reassurance scan with a heartbeat.

notyetamumbuttrying · 04/01/2021 09:46

@Missgoldilocks I'm ok thanks 😊 so latest with me is waiting for the first appointment at the acu clinic at guy's hospital on the 22nd feb. We will be signing paperwork for funding then and getting a repeat SA and getting my amh checked. I hope they can then give me a decent timeframe as to when we can get going! I'm glad your sister is getting a second opinion! X
@paintfairy oh jeez, not the one when the men give up too! Can you get medical intervention if needs be?
@Deemama21 ooh keep us posted!!

paintfairy · 04/01/2021 09:52

@Franklydear 🤣 got to love them! Everything is such a drama with mine at times.

@Missgoldilocks I came off the pill in June 2018. We used other contraception methods. There were a few times we weren't careful and nothing happened. We started actively trying last December, so a year now. Age isn't on our side though. DH had a SA and its not amazing but not dire either, so that shouldn't be the issue. The GP keeps ballsing up my blood tests and delaying my referral. But I did have a scan last year for my LP bleeding and they're was nothing obvious wrong. And I think my blood tests should be ok (progesterone level is OK and I had a day 2 in 2019 that they didn't flag a problem, so I'm not expecting it to show anything this time when they finally get it right!).
So I think it's just a case of keep going and see if the drs ever do anything. I'm hoping it'll happen naturally with time. But I guess that's wishful thinking!
@Vil10 tic tac? Should I ask? 🤣
@Hopeful110 I only used the CB once alongside the ICs to check they said the same. They did. My cycle is regular and so I only need to use them for so long. However with you, it could work out costly! Might be worth a go one month though.

paintfairy · 04/01/2021 09:56

@notyetamumbuttrying I've been trying. 🙄See my above post. They are just useless. I phoned last July!

Missgoldilocks · 04/01/2021 10:04

@paintfairy honestly our bodies can be mental sometimes. So I had a son at 19 and I was with someone for 4 years as a teenager always doing it unprotected (yes dickhead lol I thought I couldn't get pregnant, well, I didn't for 4 years!!) then I fell suddenly after 4 years, and you know at those young ages god we was doing it all the time!! 😂 There's no rhyme or reason it's crazy. Also, I've had every test don't except lap and dye and everything is normal!

@notyetamumbuttrying Ohh good luck!! I'm glad the ball is rolling for you lovely! Do you think his SA will come back better? Has he been good with it all? X

Katao · 04/01/2021 10:17

Morning girls! Ok new plan .... f*k trying to chill out, fk the relaxed approach (if that's even possible!) I'm going all f*king out this cycle! Just found out my fertility appointment has been postponed due to lockdown 🙄 but have decided that gives me another cycle for a last minute bfp 💪 digging out the opks, maybe even the thermometer... although probably a bit late for that at cd9, considering SMEP or just a ridiculous amount of sex 🤔😂 multivitamins until I rattle 😂 and anything else I can think of! Yes I have slightly lost the plot but I'm rolling with it.

@Deemama21 good luck!

@Missgoldilocks hey! Glad you are doing well, thanks for popping back to is 😀

Katao · 04/01/2021 10:17

*us

Juno231 · 04/01/2021 10:23

@katao ah I'm sorry it's been rescheduled! Totally waiting to hear that mine has been too. It's never too late to temp, you'd def still see a temp shift!

CD16 here and still no peak. Never ovulated later than CD17 (which only happened the once). Not sure what's going on! And here I was all please that my last cycle was short and sweet at 26 days and hoping for the same again lol. @DJmum83 sorry I missed the boat on being your cycle buddy - how's your chart looking today?

Deemama21 · 04/01/2021 10:23

Sooo it's a big fat nope 😭😭😭I'm so angry and upset 8 bluddy positive tests and now nothing. I'm so lost I don't even know what to do 😔

Juno231 · 04/01/2021 10:24

@Missgoldilocks love to see you back on here! Glad everything is going well, please keep popping in :)

Katao · 04/01/2021 10:32

Thanks @Juno231 I was half expecting it as figured I wouldn't have heard from them over Christmas break, things are gone to shit again aren't they. Great I'll dig out the thermometer too so, why not!

Oh @Deemama21 I don't know what to say to you.. that's awful. Surely a chemical, they couldn't be all false positives. What test did you use today? What mui were the positives and this one?

Katao · 04/01/2021 10:33

Sorry that chemical bit sounds really blunt when I reread it I just mean surely there was something going on to pick ip on.

Katao · 04/01/2021 10:36

@Juno231 do you usually get a sudden peak? Still time I'd say.

I'm sorry girls I can't seem to think straight today or formulate posts all in one go 🙈

Deemama21 · 04/01/2021 10:38

@Katao the preview one step where 20mul I think and I took a first response this morning and it's come as negative. As soon as I'd taken it it came up with a line but it was white so guna guess an indent or evap then disappeared when test dried :( just waiting for af to make her appearance now I'm due on today

DJmum83 · 04/01/2021 10:44

Morning everyone

Sorry @Deemama21 I had a chemical last month 4 positive tests then AF came with a bang. Really sorry for you. Big hugs.

@Juno231 sorry still no peak hopefully it goes bang peak tomorrow.
Chart still looking like Saturday was ovulation. Waiting game now and I'm the most impatient person ever 😂😂

Deemama21 · 04/01/2021 10:51

@DJmum83 thanks lovely sorry to hear that :( I have had 3 miscarriages in the past and a chemical before I guess it just wasn't meant to be this month oh well here's to another month of trying👶👶

Juno231 · 04/01/2021 10:54

@Deemama21 ah that sucks! I agree that it sounds odd you had so many positives and now nothing :( big hugs xx

@katao @DJmum83 don't mind my whinging, literally just got a blazing peak/dye stealer at 166% (femometer calls anything over 80% a peak). Poor OH will have to put up with more BD tonight! If he's lucky I'll have ovulated today as well though, giving him a rest after today.

Minster2012 · 04/01/2021 11:02

@Hopeful110 errrrrrrr nope no idea. Sorry darling. God it's so annoying isn't it, there was @Idreamof2more with a BFP too and @Joanna1009 & @AHobbyaweek
🥰the OPKs doesn't look like a peak though do you usually get a higher one? This from the lady that's never had a peak mind you 😜

@Deemama21 oh no I'm so sorry for the BFN on the FRER what a shitbag, have you spoken to your GP to see if they would do any kind of testing on you? I don't know if they can if you d already got kids though? Do you always do OPKS to pinpoint ovulation?

@Franklydear 🤣love it go give him hell

@paintfairy I've got a miracle baby so tell that to DH 🤨tic tac, ha ha. Small but was it refreshing @Vil10?

@AHobbyaweek oooo when can you get a scan?

@Katao THAT's the attitude, ass fruit juice. Seeds?? Oreo. Pouffe?? Remember the eggs for my eggs dance?? Come on girl! Course you can do SMEP

@Missgoldilocks please keep popping in & let us know of the scan too we love to hear of success it spurs us on & I might send you a message if I can? Oh and I've sent @SmileyT a pm if you could tell her?

DKDK123 · 04/01/2021 11:05

Sorry to hear about your sister @missgoldilocks but glad to hear your wee bean is doing well 😊

Really hope it isn't another CP @blackcurrantqueen 😔 if you've had 3 you can get referred to the recurring miscarriage/fertility clinic.

@Katao don't forget the oreo chocolate! That way you get to eat choc and be chilled but we all know its on the ttc list so you're really trying 😂

@deemama21 sorry to hear that you think you've had another CP 😔 sending big hugs your way, stock up on the choc and wine if AF arrives

Deemama21 · 04/01/2021 11:11

@Minster2012 I might give docs a ring and see if they can do anything I have used them before but not properly if you get what I mean this was my first time trying properly with the app etc I defos had a peak in ovulation this month i might have to try some vitamins too

DJmum83 · 04/01/2021 11:19

@Juno231 woohoo get on that sausage. Here's to the TWW xxx

AHobbyaweek · 04/01/2021 11:19

@Minster2012 Feb 2nd. Planning to try and get an appointment as close as I can.

InkyPaper · 04/01/2021 11:23

So sorry about the CPs @blackcurrantqueen and @Deemama21 big hugs for you both ♥️

Sorry your fertility appointment got rescheduled @Katao, but like you said at least you get another month to try everything!

Glad to hear things are going well @Missgoldilocks! So sorry for your sister though 😔

@Minster2012 did you get through to the clinic yet?

@Franklydear glad your DS is feeling a little better, hope work today goes alright!

Still no AF for me, gonna give it a fortnight and then test to see. Hoping it's not another 3 month long cycle 😩
