December Bus - Christmas Wishes

Hi all,

I’ve decided to take the plunge and make a December Bus. I know it’s still early in Nov but for those of us whose cycles fall early in the month it’ll be nice for us to have a new thread!

I’m 23
TTC #1
Cycle: 2

Had so many symptoms in October (unusual for my regular AF) so felt so disappointed when it wasn’t meant to be.

Anyway let’s hope December is our month and hope for that Christmas surprise! SmileHalloween GrinStar

@Impatientmammy
I temp at 5:30am because that’s when I get up for work. Oh gets up at 6:30am.

Owlpatrol · 01/12/2017 19:37

Yes I'm with you there @Fia256!

More cramps today however no spotting...yet so I'm treating myself to a glass of wine tonight

@FruitandNutty I've been trying a year however only been on mn for 3 months as been looking for support. Before then I was very much one of the "it'll happen when it happens" gals however now I'm a bit more of a crazy lady lol!

Dh has been great today he said oh well if it's not this month we will have to dtd every day next month. Woah tiger lol! Have to introduce him to the sperm meets egg plan.

What's everyone's plans this weekend?

I'm doing Xmas tree tomorrow Smile to take my mind off things

Fia256 · 01/12/2017 19:32

Ah thanks @ImpatientMammy. I'm pretty convinced it's af gearing up though. I just wish if it is, that it starts tomorrow. As then I'll still be in with a chance of getting a bfp at the end of 2017. It's been a horrid year for us, actually been the hardest year of my life so far!! So it would be nice to get that bfp on New Years! I can dream though lol

ImpatientMammy · 01/12/2017 19:30

Also some people might not want to post BFP's out of fear of jinxing it or might just forget or stop posting for whatever reason x

ImpatientMammy · 01/12/2017 19:28

Awww @FruitandNutty how long have you been trying for? I'm sure it's not actually anything your doing x

FruitandNutty · 01/12/2017 19:21

I’m interested to know how long on average a person uses Mumsnet’s boards for.. it can’t be that we are all not having luck aside from a couple of people. Sometimes I wonder if I’m dtd wrong or something lol Sad

Sparklesdontshine · 01/12/2017 19:21

That's a good length luteral phase @peterpanwendy

I wasn't going to but I also tested again today bfn. AF due Sunday, and I have had more spotting so it's not looking good

I'm 12dpo today (CD28) AF due tomorrow but no signs or regular symptoms. Will be fuming if she's just late. Is a 12-13 luteal phase considered short? I believe I Ovulated (according to OPK and twinges) CD16.

What time are you's temp taking? I've been doing it when i get up it's just with everyone saying about waking there OH's what times it meant to be taken?
Hope your ok @Fia256 let us know if AF comes. I've had spotting within a healthy pregnancy when I've overworked myself but I don't think it's the same at this stage I don't know x

hungryradish · 01/12/2017 19:10

I accidentally picked up some ovulation tests instead of pregnancy tests so I guess I'll be giving these a go then even though I wasn't going to!

Gem173 · 01/12/2017 19:05

@LostMyBaubles yes it does beep but not that loudly. It beeps once to say it’s on, then after it’s been in your mouth it beeps 10 times to say it’s finished calculating your temp. I find the beeping helpful, still do it with oh next to me, doesn’t make him stir.

Fia256 · 01/12/2017 18:57

Well spotting has showed up again, and picked up too, so I'm pretty positive af will be here tomorrow Sad doesn't help that the tests that I've done today with the clear blue advanced fertility monitor have had faint lines!! Fed up once again

AJ89 · 01/12/2017 18:54

@ImpatientMammy yes was this morning. Suppose I’m not out til af arrives! Trying to keep positive about it at the mo!

ImpatientMammy · 01/12/2017 18:47

@AJ89 hope your ok was BFN this morning? X

AJ89 · 01/12/2017 18:42

11dpo and BFN, been very crampy (but quite mild) with a weird pain in my right pelvic area for the past three days but it’s all stopped now. Weird. Not usual for me but dunno what’s going on. AF due tomorrow according to FF.

ImpatientMammy · 01/12/2017 18:31

@Gem173 sorry I tagged the wrong person before. It's just what we had in the house there's a whole degree difference between my left and right ear 🙄 I'll get something better if/when I get a BFN x

sophherts · 01/12/2017 18:24

@FruitandNutty I know!! I think I'm secretly trying to find one article or post that confirms that the weird twinge I'm getting in my foot means that I'm pregnant Grin

FruitandNutty · 01/12/2017 18:15

@sophherts I’m pretty much same as you - 7dpo today! My AF or bfp is due end of next week. I am the same constantly googling but I really have googled everything now that there’s nothing left to learn Blush !

LostMyBaubles · 01/12/2017 18:13

Impatient it's supposed to be either oral or vaginal thermometer iirc

LostMyBaubles · 01/12/2017 18:12

Thank you gem
Does it beep?
Don't wanna disturb hubby while he's sleeping lol

ImpatientMammy · 01/12/2017 18:11

@Gem173 I'm using the Tommie tippie ear one it's unreliable at best.
@sophherts leave it as late as possible or you'll be testing every couple of days (she says after she googled potential due dates whilst ovulating 😂🙈) fingers crossed for you x

sophherts · 01/12/2017 17:54

Currently 6dpo (8dpo according to my app but pretty sure I ovulated 6 days ago with ewcm & ovary pain) and driving myself mad with symptom spotting!

I know it's ridiculous because if there's a fertilised egg there then it won't have implanted yet but can't help googling every twinge Sad

When does everyone normally take a test? My af is due a week today
