Christmas Cheer and all things dear, wishing for a bfp by the end of the year! December Bus is en route for a successful run of BFPS!

Fingers crossed for tomorrow Spinning and good luck with the digi LH.

Enjoy your Christmases Mama and Butler. Sorry it's not quite the Christmas you had planned.

I've been feeling sorry for myself all day with back pain and not daring to take pain relief just in case. Hoping for a better day tomorrow and some sleep.

Here's to a few more bfps this week.

Butler that was meant to say :/ not butter! Haha!

Awh sorry butter! Have plenty of mulled wine ;) and yes I agree with you and I should be ovulating on Christmas eve/day!!!!! :) festiveshagfest indeed ;)

Congrats in all the bfp's. Looks like af is here after 6 days of intermittent brown spotting! Ach well it will be a festive season of shagging for me! :)

Thanks Mama.....I will certainly be getting merry over Christmas if its a bfn!!

Awh thanks LH your a sweetie! And good luck with testing!! I so hope it's a bfp for you! X

Aw Mama!! Boo! So hoped it would be your month. Ah well, like you say, you can now have a very merry Xmas! I'll make a wish for you on NYE x

Well, still in limbo land. Chickened out of buying the digi and opted for a Superdrug own brand. Still sure I see a very faint line but dh says I'm imagining it
Going to try a digi in a couple of days and I guess then I'll have my answer. Waiting really sucks, I was so not born with patience!

Xx

Awwh good luck for tomorrow I will be on for a nosey!!! Hope it's a bfp! :) if not join me and get merry ;)

Yep I'm ok thanks Mama, enjoying the run up to Christmas. So many fun things to do with my ds! Will poas in the morning but not expecting anything this month!

Hope so spinning! Thanks!!! Hope you are doing ok :)

Mama, I'm sorry to hear af has arrived......eat, drink and be merry!
Start the new year afresh and I'm sure it will be your time soon

Thanks ladies! At least I will be enjoying lots of festive drinks and will be very very merry!!!!! :) my time will come I know ;)

I'm heading to Youtube now writer thanks

I didn't realise at first either but someone recommended a really good YouTube video about conception and it was talked about on there - it was really interesting to watch. It highlights just how difficult a challenge the sperm face in order to reach and fertilise the egg. You should go and have a look if you get the chance, there are some really good vids

Thanks Writer that makes sense. I didn't realise it can take sperm up to 7 hours to reach the egg. You really do learn something new everyday!

Eggs only survive about 12 hours (or so I have read on this forum somewhere) so if you only have sex on the day of ovulation there is only a short window for fertilisation to take place as it can take the sperm up to 7 hours to even each the egg.

Ideally they say you should be DTD on the lead up to ovulation as the sperm can survive I your womb for 3-5 days - the idea is that the sperm is already there and waiting by the time your egg is released.

Have been catching up on all the posts congrats to all the BFPs! And sorry to all those who AF got.

I have a question if anyone can help. I'm currently on CD12 and as I've been temping the last 2 months I believe I ovulate on either Tues/Wed. Apart from dtd on Tues and Wed should we be doing it tonight and tomorrow too?! I only ask as DH has been incredibly stressed recently due to work and when he's under stress he doesn't, ahem, perform well (if you get what I mean!) I really don't want to put any pressure on him if I don't have to but obviously want to improve our chances this month. Not sure how best to play this!any advice would be grately appreciated

mama....that is so crap! Even I am thinking thats wierd with the cervix and AF and its not my body lol!! Do you think its just settling from bc? or a visit to the GP?

It must be so frustrating for you and I hope it happens soon

Oh good - it must feel quite hard on him. You've got a good one there. I imagine some men would be quite reluctant for fear of their 'masculinity' being questioned, however they might wrongly view it. Good things do happen to good people though and if anyone deserves it, you do x

Yes he's planning to do that after Christmas writer. Think he's hoping we will get a bfp before that as he's dreading it! But he will do it he knows it's important.

It's his Birthday after Christmas as well so will let him enjoy those celebrations first ;)

That's right mama, I do remember now, I had an inkling you had a son from a previous relationship but I didn't want to just go ahead and start talking about it in case I was wrong Has your husband looked at getting his sperm tested or anything? I'm just asking out of curiosity or if it is anything you have wondered about yourself?

Writer no, I have a 12yr old boy already but this would be DH first. Don't worry its so hard to remember everyone's stories so many lovely ladies on here to remember!

Thanks Spinning, it's good to be here. Hope you are feeling better after your crappy night. I've got horrible upper back/rib pain which kept me awake too (too much hoovering to the Christmas CD yesterday I think. Heat pads and a snuggly cat seem to be doing the trick though.

Sorry to hear about your af Mama, how frustrating.

mama - excuse my ignorance for coming across as rude, but it's just so hard to remember everyone's stories but are you trying for your first baby?
