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

Hi @nk1605 I'd say yes you should get a darker line tomorrow or day after
Fingers crossed x

coastalchick · 20/11/2017 19:15

Pretty sure am on december bus as think I got AF today.

TTC: 1
Cycle: 3 post MMC end august
CD: still on last cycle but think it might be 1 if today was AF (bleeding has stopped now)
Age: 39

And very depressed with this whole thing.

Hello everyone. Moving over from the November bus.

TTC: #1
Cycle: #2 post coil although cycle 1 was 78 days long
CD: #3
BFP due: December 17th if my cycle regulates itself again.

Good luck everyone

BaliBound · 20/11/2017 17:34

AF is due on 5th so I'll probably test on the 6th if it doesnt arrive. Maybe wishful thinking but I don't actually have any tests in the house and I managed to hold out last month so hopefully I can again. I don't want to literally piss money down the toilet Grin

spydie · 20/11/2017 16:44

No idea when I'm due to test, my ovia app has switched to a big fat question mark... Confused

nk1605 · 20/11/2017 16:30

Looking a bit of advice. This is my first month properly using OPKs. I wasnt going to start using them until CD 10 as per the Sperm Meets Egg Plan. However, because my cycles a bit erratic I decided to take a test today which is CD 8. I know this isn't a positive result as the line is not as dark or darker than the control line, but does this mean I am only a few days away from a positive? I thought CD 8 was a bit early!

Ooh yes get some caffeine down him owl Grin I can’t lie, my dh last night was knackered and not up for it and neither was I really! I’m always like this during ovulation though so I forced both him and myself lol 😂

A few of us all seem to be within a day or so of each other! I’m going to do a test on Saturday, which will probably be a waste, but on the rare chance i ovulated when I originally thought, I could possibly get a bfp. If however it’s bfn which I’m 99.9% certain it will be due to delayed ovulation, then I’ll hold out until 1st dec. don’t know who I’m kidding with that but I can at least try and tell myself I will lol

Owlpatrol · 20/11/2017 13:00

Hi ladies definitely feeling your positivity @Fia256 hoping to dtd tonight which will be nice bit dh working a late shift so fingers crossed for some energy haha I'll have to make him a strong coffee!

I won't test this month till 4th December as I'm fairly certain I'm out that is when Af due

Fingers crossed ladies xx

peterpanwendy · 20/11/2017 12:56

From my OPK’s I believe I ovulated last night so I’m 1dpo today, cd17! Which means I should be able to test on the 1st or so with a FRER. Really gonna try hold out till then. I didn’t have many ovulation symptoms this month but then I never have before TTC so that is my norm! I am already excited, we DTD lots over the w/end Blush so praying it’s been enough! Smile

nk1605 · 20/11/2017 11:54

I'm not due to test until 11th December...that's if I can actually hold off until then!

louella99 · 20/11/2017 11:49

I wouldn't have thought so @nk1605, as long as you can still get yourselves in the mood enough to dtd!

When is everyone due to test? I won't be due to test until 23rd Dec.

nk1605 · 20/11/2017 11:08

This might be a silly question but does having a cold impair your chances of conception?

I'm on CD 8 and starting to BD every other day from today. However both myself and my DP have come down with a cold, all achy feeling.

We are still going to plough on ahead with our ttc this month. But will us feeling under the weather affect our chances?

BaliBound · 20/11/2017 10:38

CD13 here. I was hoping to dtd last night but I came back from a weekend away ill and I was wiped out and I didnt want DP to get ill too. Hoping we can manage tonight as we last dtd on CD9 so it isnt going great over here. Bloody illnesses messing up everyone's plans Sad

Hi all, can I join please ?
Age#35
TTC# 1
Cycle # 5 cd 1 (bleugh!!!)

Next period due on the 15th December

louella99 · 20/11/2017 08:15

I feel your pain ladies. My DH has various trips coming up, one or two nights away with work etc. It's amazing how much of an impact these things can have on ttc if they fall at the wrong time. Between his work pattern and my shifts I find myself looking for windows of opportunity to dtd that might give us a shot at a BFP. Then have to try not to put too much pressure on, as it kills the mood.

Good work @Fia

Fia256 · 20/11/2017 08:04

Ah owl you never know though! Sometimes it’s the months your convinced you stand no chance that it somehow happens!

We managed to dtd last night so I don’t feel stressed out as much now! I just hope I actually ovulate this time as I need a break and a good nights sleep 😂

Owlpatrol · 20/11/2017 07:23

Feeling rather bleugh this morning. We were both too tired yesterday to dtd so we haven't even done it in fw Sad but seeing as I'm trying to do the I'm not bothered if it's this month I'm attempting to be relaxed about it. I was going to do an opk this morning but there was a spider next to the toilet Grin so anyways might do an opk later but I'll be negative as I had positive on Friday...... watch this space I guess

Sparklesdontshine · 20/11/2017 07:18

Grr last night was last chance to bd as dh is away for next few days, and he was too tired Angry. We only did it twice this month in my fertile time so I doubt this will be my month😭

Just poking my head in, as my cycle will likely run to december plus its my first month off the pill.
Hope everyone is well good luck Grin

Babydreaming · 19/11/2017 18:14

@fia don’t beat yourself up! These things happen and it means you can enjoy all the Christmas parties!!

4 days before ovulation still gives you a good chance though so I don’t think you’re out yet!

Fia256 · 19/11/2017 16:53

Well dh is lying on the sofa feeling really ill. Why. Why why why. I’m out for this month now I’m sure of it. Can only hope I ovulate today, I have had ovulation pains today but then probably wouldn’t still be getting positive opk. Which means we’ll only have dtd 4 days before ovulation. I wouldn’t mind but if I’d ovulated when my body geared up to originally, we’d of time it bloody perfectly.

peterpanwendy · 19/11/2017 16:38

@Owlpatrol no chance you could DTD today just as a last attempt?

If not just think of all the champagne, baileys, pate you can have over December! We are all a bit nuts hoping to conceive the one month of the year when it’s quite inconvenient Grin

peterpanwendy · 19/11/2017 16:37

@Fia256 looks like we’re in sync! Exciting times!

OP posts:
Owlpatrol · 19/11/2017 15:27

Yes fia go go! Dtd!

No such luck for me this weekend. I'm definitely out unless there was some strong swimmers from Monday haha! That somehow stayed alive till today.

Yes @peterpanwendy I'd say that's your peak so go go as well!!

Meh looking forward to drinking at Christmas now then dry January health kick to get preggers!!
