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

😂😂😂 when we first got here 1DPO I bought 1 OPK with me I weed in a McDonald's cup as I forgot to bring something to wee in and grabbed my test. It had HCG written all over, obviously I angrily dipped it anyway 😂 x

HoneyCake86 · 06/12/2017 09:03

Hmm im not entirely sure tbh i think i just wanted to poas this morning so my precious FMU didnt go to waste 😂😂

ImpatientMammy · 06/12/2017 08:59

@HoneyCake86 I think I read that an OPK won't show as early as a pregnancy test would if that makes sense x

HoneyCake86 · 06/12/2017 07:38

12dpo here. Ran out of tests so used an opk, bfn. Have NO idea what my temp wants to do, perhaps its increased again because i was unwell yesterday.

Fx for all you lovely ladies xxFlowers

Good luck everyone this seems like a really positive bus so far! I'm on January bus as currently cd3 boooo! However I may still keep an eye on this bus as may test next cycle around the 30th December x

HoneyCake86 · 06/12/2017 07:33

Jfw mine took about 2 days to get from faint line to strong positive, if that helps.

Virtual hugs peterpanwendy Flowers i can imagine how excruciating this wait is for you. Flowers

Awesome to see so many bfps! Hopefully the magic rubs off on the rest of us 🤞
AF has just finished for me but i had short cycles before my mc so should be ovulating before the week is out.

BaliBound · 05/12/2017 23:45

Going to bed with no sign of AF, so although Im probably just a day late, I'm still in Grin No tests so no POAS tomorrow, how annoying.

I hope you get a clear BFP tomorrow peterpanwendy.

Aridia · 05/12/2017 23:15

@ImpatientMammy AF isn't due until Friday, so I know I'm a bit early. But I've got all the usual signs that AF is on her way. I'm sorry for having a bit of an angry rant lol I can't really say the things that are bugging me to anyone else except DH, and bless him, he hears it a lot from me lol!

Does anyone else feel that when it comes to poas time, the odds seem similar to when you buy a lottery ticket? Like, I'd absolutely love to win, and I'm going to fantasise about it, but I know it'll never happen 😢

ImpatientMammy · 05/12/2017 22:48

Hope your ok @Aridia when's AF due? X

Aridia · 05/12/2017 22:31

11dpo here and a bfn :( Ovia is telling me to do another test tomorrow but I'm not hopeful.
I'm angry and fed up with this horrible condition (endometriosis and adenomyosis). Not only do they stop me from getting pregnant but they rub salt in the wound by making me look like I'm 12 weeks pregnant. What kind of sick irony is that?

Rant aside, I am very happy to see so many bfp's on here! Congratulations! Lovely Christmas presents!

Jfw82 · 05/12/2017 22:29

Thanks for the tip @peterpanwendy

peterpanwendy · 05/12/2017 22:25

@Jfw82 for me that was about 3 :) I'd do 2 a days from now on if I were you! Good luck x

Ok so came off cerazette 2 weeks ago. Didn't want to use clear blue opks when I've not had a natural cycle since before ds so got myself some ic opks. This evening for first time in 5 days I've seen the faintest of lines- does anyone have any idea how many days away from ovulation that might be?!?!?

peterpanwendy · 05/12/2017 22:12

@ImpatientMammy and yes FMU :(

OP posts:
peterpanwendy · 05/12/2017 22:11

@ImpatientMammy I highly doubt it, I'm not even that stressed right now and I'm a teacher so have been way more stressed before and it's not made a difference to my cycle Sad

Quick question re temping, I cosleep (wrestle through the night) with my 2 year old. My temp was higher when I first woke up this morning then at lunch because he had been laying on me. Does this mean temping probably isn't for me? X

ImpatientMammy · 05/12/2017 20:40

😔 might stress be delaying AF @peterpanwendy ? I wish I knew what to suggest, have you been testing with your first morning wee? X

peterpanwendy · 05/12/2017 20:19

Still a BFN :( I'm never late and I've never had bleeding/spotting mid cycle. My periods have always been regular so I don't get what's happening, is it too early for a BFP? CD32

HoneyCake86 · 05/12/2017 20:08

I have felt really awful today, i went off my food til bout 2 hours ago with my dinner and only just managed to eat that. Which is unusual cos i love filling my face. DP gave DS a bag of bacon crisps earlier and the smell (like chicken carcass thats been left out for a while) nearly made me hurl. I know theres alot going around the school i hope i haven’t picked anything dodgy up.

ImpatientMammy · 05/12/2017 20:01

A few people have said they where coming down with something just before BFP it might just be the time of year but fx @HoneyCake86 x

LookingAtTheStars89 · 05/12/2017 20:00

@Seathrift. I am an every other dayer. From cd4 to the time flo shows up we dtd every other day! It worked for us in November 2015 and July 2017 (that ended in mc but that's irrelevant)

@ImpatientMammy. I like seeing the bfps, even if they aren't my own.

@sophherts I'm glad I manage to make sense sometimes!

I feel like a big hog today. I've eaten practically non stop lol.

HoneyCake86 · 05/12/2017 19:57

Soph she said that to me, it stuck with me too haha! Xmas Grin
Ff worked af due date based on a 28 day cycle but i ovulated 2 days later than usual, so my af due date might not be til friday now (im 11dpo). My luteal phases have always been 14 days bang on til now, think i’ll just have to wait n see when af turns up. Think ive caught somekind of virus or something, got alot of flu-type pain all over my body. So im off to bed shortly to try n sleep it off 😷 hope everyones had a good day xx

ImpatientMammy · 05/12/2017 19:52

@Seathrift I think we must have only BD'd once the month DS was conceived as my OH was away and we got an extremely lucky surprise. I'm sure I won't be so lucky this time round x

ImpatientMammy · 05/12/2017 19:50

😂😂😂 I think it must be the thread motto now. I hope we get some BFPs tomorrow I've become accustomed to the daily good news 🙈 x
