December Bus - Christmas Wishes

Thank you @HoneyCake86 and @Fia256 - it's a strange feeling isn't it?
I'm hoping in some ways it's a positive sign really as I'm 39 and this was month two of trying after coming off the pill.
It's now given me something else to endlessly research though....did you have worse pain @Fia256 ?

Thank you for kind words

ImpatientMammy no mine was a Jaydess, which was a low hormone one, so I've had monthly bleeds throughout.

@Hardheadedwoman39 I would say that was definitely a chemical pregnancy I had that in September, got a positive test, then it got lighter and lighter then I started bleeding a week after AF had been due

Hi all

Can i join! Im totally new to this, found the website by accident! had a negative test earlier this month (i actually managed the 2ww!!) me and my DH were devastated when my period arrived... its our first ttc. i had a miscarriage last year, we managed to conceive by accident last time and now we are trying it seems impossible.

Is it just me or does it drive you absolutely mental? I cant sleep, and i am giving myself headaches because conception is the only thing i can think about! I am constantly on google and wondering if i actually feel symptoms or am i just loosing my mind?!?

I have brought ovulation tests this time, are they any good?

I feel exhausted and desperate!!

Oh wishfulthinking im so sorry for your loss :(

Hardheadedwoman welcome. It looks that way, lookingatthestars also just went through it. Here for you both to chat when you need

I'm now defiantly in the December bus. Did a test in the 26th which I thought was negative but later saw a very faint line - see photo.
I got my period today though and it's horrendous - am thinking maybe a chemical pregnancy?
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thank you

Make that stomach camps too! I've had them on and off for a bit today.

@Fia256 The only other things I've experienced are headaches and lower back pain x

Hi everyone can I join you?

31
TTC #1
Cycle 1 after D&C for a MMC discovered at 11+4 (conceived on cycle 5 of TTC)

I think AF/BFP is due on December 12th but not sure what my cycles will be like after the MMC. Anyway we have decided to TTC straight away so think I'm just coming out of my FW.

Would love nothing more than to have a BFP for Christmas! Fingers crossed for everyone.

Ahhh yay @Keiki I had mine out Tuesday was it a mirena?
Fingers crossed for all of you currently testing.
I have two questions for you all.

1. A dropping body temp is that pre or post ovulation?
2. If your feeling a bit sore down there what can you use so it doesn't prevent you having sex 🙈

Congratulations @spydie! Lovely news to start the month with!

I've been wondering about that @HoneyCake86 as it's been bloody freezing in my bedroom the last week! Flo thinks I ovulated on Saturday - my temp did go up considerably but seems to be up one day, down the next and then up again
It's very annoying! Got paperwork for day 21 bloods (but I have long cycles so didn't ov til day 20 haha) but not sure when to go as the clinic isn't open on Saturdays.... anyone know if I'd be better going Friday (6 dpo) or Monday (9 dpo)?

@Aph413 your chart is looking like mine before I ovulated, so I think you will do any day now!

@HoneyCake86 our timer on the heater is broken, so we have to switch it on manually in the morning when we get up, so I'm always freezing when I wake up! Makes my temp rising each day even more bizarre!

@Aph413 yes now I look at yours it I clear to me that it varies for some people. You look like you could be ovulating soon!

May I tentatively join? Been taking folic acid for a few months, had my coil out yesterday, due my period at the start of next week, I think. Not officially starting TTC until January but protection less before then so who knows. Number 1 was an accident and my cycles range from 23-35 days so I've no idea what I'm doing! Is there any way to regulate the cycles to make fertile window more consistent?

Age: 31
TTC: #2
Cycle: #1

I used opks from CD9 til 2 dpo the internet cheapies so i can see the buildup, peak and reduction after, to help pinpoint the ov day.

AJ. Temp still above coverline and not a significant drop so still well in.

Aph i think its fine, your cm seems to be changing in a good way today, good luck!

Im assuming as we are going into winter and its bloody freezing that it would be affecting our body temps, depending on whether you have your heating on during the night? My DP insists on having the heating off during the night to save money so im waking up freezing. Im surprised my bbt isnt nose-diving lol

@LookingAtTheStars89 I've had that most of the second half of my cycle, it's been very similar to ewcm for me.

I feel sick today. Was sat in a meeting this morning and felt really sicky. However the bfn this morning contradicts any symptoms really. I've also had no spotting since yesterday afternoon but trying to not get my hopes up with that as I'm sure it's on and off before af usually! Just don't get why my temp keeps going up but getting bfns. Could scream with frustration of not knowing lol x

This cycle is really confusing me! Usually I dry up in the second half of my cycle but I've got sticky clear mucus? There's a fair bit of it too. Is that normal?

BFN from me this morning, I think I'm around 12/13 dpo and due af between today and Saturday. No af this morning but very crampy quite low down so all out of hope. CD27 so I'm sure I'd have had at least a faint line by now! Fx for some Christmas/new year babies, a lot of us seem to be due to test again around then!

Sorry to hear that @lostmybaubles - how gutting!!

@fia256 I'm totally the same with the overtesting... but I got a bunch of reslly cheap ones from Amazon so I can feel like I'm doing SOMETHING! I know poas early is a bad idea but knowing that it COULD be bfp is too tempting! (Even though it never is; tested this morning at 10-12dpo... bfn)

@gem173 I've recently got in to temping. Like you, I was worried about low temps pre ovulation - my lowest was 35.75 - and internet suggested underavtive thyroid. However, my temps rose much higher post ov so maybe it's just that we're all a bit different.

God this tww is more stressful than I ever knew!!

Gem my temperature this morning dropped to 35.94 so you're similar to me. I've attached my chart so you can see it. It's coincided with watery CM so I'm hoping this is it

Hi everybody! So I’m 10dpo tested bfn this morning (I know it’s still early but I’m so impatient!). Here is my chart, I’ve been charting since January but not that knowledgable, does it look ok?

Well I'm not an expert @Gem173 however my temps were low at the beginning of the month and then went up and are a bit over the place at the moment but due Af sunday/Monday so I'll keep you posted
Well done for remembering to do it though!

Flo isn't due for me until between the 7th and 10th and I swear I know I'm out already! I'm sure I can feel pms symptoms settling in! I always get a bit cranky or emotional a bit before.

First time temping, it’s quite low compared to other people’s charts. I saw that the average bbt is between 36.10- 37 degrees. Today I had 35.97 degrees. Does this look okay so far?
