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

@LostMyBaubles I started cd 7, tested opks twice a day 1.10:15 2. 5:30pm. On cd 10 at mo :) x

LostMyBaubles · 30/11/2017 07:22

That's what I did and really don't recommend testing early
Really fucks with your head.
Trust me.

Af due today
If my cycles are going to be the same it will arrive. I bloody hope it does arrive today so can get it out of the way and move on!

I think I'm going to stick with the cheap stuff of eBay and not test until atleast 2 days before period

When's the best time to be using opks

Fia256 · 30/11/2017 07:12

@Gem173 problem is I do it every month lol. If I added up what I've spent over the last 6 months it's really bad Blush I only went more overboard this month though as I didn't want to accept my tww needed to be pushed back almost a week when I was already half way through lol.

@LostMyBaubles welcome back Thanks

Owlpatrol · 30/11/2017 07:09

Aww @Fia256 it's so frustrating isn't it?

I've been up half the night with sore boobs, cramps and then needing the loo so I'm sure I'm out. My temps gone up this morning though but it's hard to tell as my thermometer kept not working the last few days

Gem173 · 30/11/2017 07:06

@Fia256 I was annoyed on my first cycle for buying and using too many preg tests, so 2nd cycle I chilled and only took two a few days before af. Day af showed I nearly took a FRER! So glad af showed up to stop me😂 not far into my cycle now fw next week so promising myself and oh that I won’t use any tests in my 2ww!

LostMyBaubles · 30/11/2017 07:05

Hi everyone.
I'm back (did post when the thread was first made)

Had the most confusing time lately

3 positive tests then negative

Went to epu and they did bloods which showed I'm not pregnant right now so thought I'd hop on here with you lovely ladies

Gem173 · 30/11/2017 07:03

3rd day of bbt (cd10) temps getting lower and lower which I hope is normal, never done this before.

Fia256 · 30/11/2017 06:34

Bfn for me again today. I really thought i might get a bfp today, my temp has gone another .05 higher this morning and is now the highest it's been the entire month!! Used my last frer too so that's it now. I've bought so many this month with not knowing when I ovulated it's actually ridiculous so not buying anymore! Annoyed now

BFN again this morning

Katsanddogs · 30/11/2017 01:07

Hi all. Do you mind if i join the bus?
Finally got AF an incredibly long 7 weeks post mc.

Age: 26
Ttc: #1
Cycle: 2 post mc

Good luck everyone!

Pinkslink17 · 29/11/2017 22:56

I'm glad I'm not the only one @surreygirl1987 I just feel like I've got so many BFN now that it'll never change! Fx for a surge of HCG for us in the morning!

surreygirl1987 · 29/11/2017 22:52

@pinkslink17 I guess it must be possible - if its going to be a bfp, at some point it has to turn positive after all! I'm testing every morning now... 🙈

Pinkslink17 · 29/11/2017 22:10

Has anyone had a completely negative test one morning and then a positive the next? I can't wait 3 days like they recommend!

Owlpatrol · 29/11/2017 21:12

Thank you @Fia256 I'm still positive for you too this month so fx x
Thank you also @Pinkslink17 for the love xx

Sparklesdontshine · 29/11/2017 21:04

I have tested todat twice too 🤣 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who goes a bit overboard Grin

Pinkslink17 · 29/11/2017 20:46

@Fia fingers crossed this is your month! I haven't experience spotting and also haven't tracked ovulation properly/temp so I've really no idea whats going on! ill be more prepared next month if I get AF this weekend, I already have an amazon cart ready just incase! let me know how you get on if you're testing over the weekend, and best of luck to you all @owlpatrol @surreygirl1987 @Nats1606 too!

Fia256 · 29/11/2017 20:44

@Owlpatrol I still really think it sounds good for you this month! Keeping my fx for you z

Fia256 · 29/11/2017 20:42

@Pinkslink17 couldn't agree more! I've spent all day googling bloody implantation bleed stories!! I don't know why I do it to myself, I know it's pre AF spotting but just can't loose that hope.

Not entirely sure when af is due as had two positive opks 4 days apart this month. If i ovulated the first time then AF technically due today. But I'm certain it was the second time now, so I'm 8/9dpo today. Looking at past charts, I always start spotting around 9dpo so it's not looking to good. The only reason I'm clinging onto hope is my temp is going up each day rather than down Hmm

Nats1606 · 29/11/2017 20:39

Hi all, I'm now playing the waiting game. We had a chemical pregnancy last month so I'm excited/terrified/desperately hopeful for the bfp this month. I'm a poas addict and never keep my promise to myself to wait until I'm late :/ bfn so far but quite a lot of symptoms (I have two sons as well as the chemical so I know how I feel when pregnant). Due af etc Friday/Saturday so will know for sure.

surreygirl1987 · 29/11/2017 20:32

Argh I totally feel your impatience ladies! Tested today at 11dpo (or possibly 9dpo as think F2F may have got O date wrong) and bfn... So frustrating!

Owlpatrol · 29/11/2017 20:31

Well I'm feeling a bit all over the place today. Still trying to stay positive but I've had some light cramps and a migraine plus a stomach ache on and off... whether that's a symptom or not I'm not too worried I think I'll do ic Friday unless spotting started by then as af due sunday/Monday

Pinkslink17 · 29/11/2017 20:30

@fia256 I know! Seeing different people's stories on here are also giving me hope! Everyone is just so different and I understand that, but it still puts the 'maybe' seed in your head! I have kept my expected AF date a secret from my husband as I want to surprise him, however it is eating away at me and I just want to tell him how close I am to it and just want to know either way! Like everyone, I have hope and suspicions that I may be as my cervix has risen and is closed, as well as other symptoms but at least that one can't just be in my head as its a physical change out of my control! When are you due your AF? x

Fia256 · 29/11/2017 20:23

@Pinkslink17 I've tested twice for the last few days! I even tested for the second time today, after seeing spotting earlier so I clearly know af is on its way but I still bloody did it! If the tests are there waiting, it's so hard to resist lol
