We're Gonna Need A Bigger Sleigh!!! December Hopeful's say AYE!

Morning all

Feeling a bit better this morning... although I must galvanise into action. I'm a freelance and not working at the moment and finding it difficult to actually get on and DO stuff!

Had a big talk with dp this morning... no BD for us last night or this morning, even though I got a + OPK yesterday afternoon. It's our first month of trying with the pressure of really KNOWING when the right time is, and we're finding it a bit tricksy. I know it's a common complaint, but I think it's going to take a while for us to work out our own way of going about this. He feels as though we're already behaving as though we've got a problem, with me charting etc. My answer is that I'm 36 and I'd rather give it my all from the start than waste a few months not getting it right. I told him that the alternative to charting and pinpointing the exact fertile time would be to BD 2-3 times a week, regularly, all through the cycle. Before we started doing this we had relaxed into BD just at weekends, which obviously isn't really enough. Food for thought for him, anyway. He's a bit upset this morning because he knows I'm a bit down that we didn't BD after I got my positive with the OPK. Our best chance of a BFP this month now is that we BD'd 3 days before OV.

Enough doom and gloom! Glad to see that we're still going strong on the December thread... good luck to those testing soon!

sparklytreeangel - when are you due to test?

twix....i thought you had been quiet......now, when i picture you in my head i cant help licking my lips!......Mmmmmmmmmm....chocolate!
hope af stays away!

cityangel - you are a night owl aren't you? i bet you are a real trendy too aren't you? i bet my picture of you in my head is exactly right!
i have vague pictures of everyone in my head when i read your individual posts...weird isn't it? i am probably completely wrong with everyone!

I'm still here! Sorry havent posted much (no access to a PC)... however, am having AF cramps, so reckon i'm due on in a couple of days... At least it means a boozy Christmas is back on the menu! Hope everyone is OK and full of festive cheer! Congrats to all the BFPs and so sorry for all the BFNs too.

BoJingles cycle buddy don't leave me
Good luck with everything.

MrsMC How is your dh How is your new job?

xmassyCharlotte are you feeling any better

MadameBrandyButterfly 2ww wait sucks doesn't it. Fingers crossed

Eaglebird save a Jan seat for me and some Camembert

Oops and Ladybug hope we can test together but my chances of an internet connection then are slim

Any lurkers out there? Hope everyone taking a break checks back in soon.

How are Ready, KitKat, Greedy and Geek getting on? All in Jan?

I'm still here too Bo Jingles - so sory to see you go, hope you feel better about things soon. Sorry to all those whose AF has arived, hope next cycle is lucky for you. Hang in there those still waiting! More from me tomorrow!

I am still hear AF (or BFP) due 30th Dec so I am now on 2ww.

I think af has arrived (had a bit of spotting) 2 days early, how strange. What a bummer.
So no bfp for me this month .
Ah well, the money I'll save on a pg test will go towards a bottle of wine & some nice smelly cheese tomorrow.
Good luck to everyone else waiting for a bfp x

I'm still here!
af due about 28th I think! only had one cycle since having the coil out so not sure
Was planning on testing Christmas day if I can last out that long!

I'm left on December!!!

CD 17, OV today/tomorrow I think. AF due 28/12. Have bought tickets to a wild NYE party so in a way am hoping I can enjoy it!

Hi everyone,
Wishing you all good luck with BFP's!!!! I have found MN soooo useful and I've gained tonnes of info from you all over the last few months. Sadly........ I don't think its doing anything for my emotional state right now, so I'm going to bow out gracefully whilst I'm still sane .

Merry christmas to you all

Likewise, Sparkly!

Hi Ladybug I think mine is due just after yours so fingers crossed for us

I'm new on here - af due 25th or 26th.

Who's left on December? and who's next to test?

Hi All

Congratulations to the BFPs

Unfortunately, my time with you has come to an end. AF has finally arrived, 11 days late!!!! I'm kind of relieved in a strange way as at least I know whats going on - the hanging around feeling no symptoms was doing my head in to say the least.

Good luck to those of you stil in the 2WW.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas

Ooops, really haven't woken up yet, that post was meant for the TCOYF thread, not this one! What I was meant to say on this thread was, congrats to ticklemepink, yet another BFP, so exciting!!!

Welcome ladybug, lovely to have you. Hope we help you get through the 2weekwait still sane, and that you get your BFP soon!

And any news from babylove??!?

Well as predicted, temp went up again this morning, so I'm pretty sure I OVed in the past 36 hours, and lovely DH obliged again last night I almost feel guilty that we've been enjoying lots of BDing in this month when it sounds like so many people on here are finding it tough for various reasons...

XmassyCharlotte, big hugs, really sounds like a difficult time for you honey! Are you getting some time off over Christmas? Maybe you need to take a day or an evening with DP and just relax together, have a romantic meal or something - have a good old fashioned 'date' to remind yourselves how much you do actually love each other, and forget about all the wedding and TTC stuff for a bit. Re the TCOYF, you may need to fiddle around with stuff in the 'Preferences' bit of the software to tailor the calculations to what's normal for you. Having said that, your chart does look fairly flat (on average) for the past week, so maybe it's right and you just haven't OVed yet this month. You could just be a few days late this month, so stay positive!

MrsMc - Congrats on the positive OPK How are things with your DH at the mo?

Thanks will do cant sleep so going to do some research on net. I had something done a few yrs ago, some herbal thing where they can tell by your energy if theres anything wrong with you. trying to look it up and see if that can help - anythings worth a shot!

Off to bed, but keep us informed! Good luck!xxx

Think i may have to! Wasnt going to until Tues but i have some so i may need it! See how i feel when i get up! i bet £50 it'll be a BFN!

Shouldn't think so. Are you testing again tomorrow/

No, no reason to as far as i know. Was un-well with kidney/water infection but wouldt have thought it would be enough to cause this!!!!

I've never missed a period in (gulp) 20 years. Had a chemical pregnancy in Feb (where you get a positive but then it doesn't implant or something - got my period 9 days late) but that was the only time it's been delayed. People certainly do get missed periods, but would there be a reason for you to?
