December Bus - Christmas Wishes

@Babydreaming @Fia256 snap did an ic this morning and a bfn for me as expected although I was getting my hopes up as we had this cheese yesterday and the smell made me gip! Anyway af due sunday or Monday fairly certain I'm out

I've just used one of the tests on my clear blue monitor. Knew it would be pointless as got a bfn on frer yesterday morning and I know the CB aren't as sensitive. Came up as not pregnant, but then when I took the stick out the machine, I can see a very faint second line. Don't know what to think as I know you can't really trust blue dye!

I see a faint line @Babydreaming so looks positive! Fx it darkens and sticks x

@Babydreaming that's definitely a bfp congratulations! Let's hope this is going to be a lucky thread!

Cd 11 Temps back up from 35.97 to 36.17 so hopefully it stays risen in time for my ovulation dip/rise :)

Do you mind if I stay on this thread til it darkens? I’m not convinced it’s going to stick! I’m not telling anyone else (including my husband) so it’s nice to talk to others about it!

I’ll tell my husband in one week if it’s still positive (will be my babies 1st birthday 1 week today so will be double celebration!)

@LookingAtTheStars89 mine is due next Saturday so one day after you! It still feels so far away doesn’t it.

Eeek @babydreaming that looks promising!!!

I'm not bothering testing today I'm that sure that I'm out. I have spent a fortune on first response this month, and have none left now so I'm just waiting for af to arrive over the weekend.

@Babydreaming that looks like a line to me - congratulations! Everything crossed that it sticks for you!

@fia256 sorry I don’t really understand temping! That sounds positive though? I feel so hot at the moment, was getting night sweats last night even though temp set at sameness as always!

@Babydreaming a line is a line! Congratulations!! Test again tomorrow, probably just needs time to build up HCg levels. Also not everyone gets implantation bleeding.

Sorry got myself confused there, today's was 37.09, which is a 0.14 jump from yesterday x

SORRY I meant accepting of a BFN

I'm out of tests now, but my temp has been climbing over the last few days, today it's gone up 0.14! Had a bit of spotting on Wednesday and one tiny bit yesterday, typical pre af spotting.

Example of my temps are - last Friday 36.74.
Then the last 4 days have been - 36.86, 36.90, 36.96 and today - 37.14?!?!?! If AF ends up coming, it's going to be really cruel as these temps are getting my hopes up!!

Happy December Everyone!!! Time for those advent calendars!

So I caved a day early and tested and now I’m kicking myself. See pic below.

It’s a VERY faint line - its a bit darker than the pic in reality but no where near the control. Last time this happened it was a chemical and I didn’t have any implantation bleeding.

Now I feel more anxious than before! Would have been very accepting of a BFP this month as was expected and we wanted to start properly trying next month for a September baby.

I’ve only been using cheap OPKs and PTs from amazon so not sure how sensitive they are.

I’m 9/10dpo

@ImpatientMammy I think there’s a few of us on here who have had the mirena out quite recently - for me my first cycle was 45 days, then my second was only 30 but I didn’t ovulate in the second cycle. This is my third cycle & I’m now on CD15 and hopefully going to ovulate this weekend (as per 2 out of the 3 tracking apps I’m using 😂).

In some cases it can take up to a years for your body to return to normal after the mirena (which I have only found out since having mine removed) so try not to obsess over it too much for now (that’s a major case of do as I say not as I do!) & hopefully it won’t take that long for you!

Good luck

@FruitandNutty My period is possibly due next Friday of it's a 28 day cycle. Time does seem to be dragging!

I'm not feeling the drag yet but we're really busy this month so hopefully that will stop me becoming a crazy person. I've heard it can take 6 weeks for a period post mirena but fertility is meant to return immediately 🤔 it's so confusing just gunna OPK and temp and hope for the best 🤞(clearly I'm obsessing a lot more than I'm admitting to myself) can't wait till the group gets another BFP keep us all going x

I had mulled wine this evening, I don’t think that counted as it tasted mostly like orange juice! I’m 7dpo tomorrow and so far I’ve had zero noticeable symptoms, just the usual sore boobs and bbt temp rise, although today my temp did dip, but don’t want to read too much into that. Anyone else find this week just dragging so slowly?! I want to get to the end of next week already lol.. hate how ttc makes you wish your weeks away!

Hi Can I join in?

TTC #2 (14 months old)

Age 28

Cycle 1 - just had mirena out

Trying to stay relaxed about the while thing as last time is convinced myself it would take months and I conceived on the 2nd cycle. Still have the paranoia about secondary infertility though...

I feel like I'm putting enough pressure on without putting my life on hold too. @louella99 I'm the same not much of a consumer anyway but I drink tea and def won't be avoiding the Christmas cheese without a BFP x

@ImpatientMammy Ugh! I have given up everything you wouldn't eat when you were pregnant AND caffeine AND alcohol!

Party bus sounds AWESOME! 😁
