December Bus - Christmas Wishes

Ovulated** yesterday

Heya newbies! How's everyone doing this weekend? I'm feeling a bit deflated today I know I probably played yesterday or today and we havent dtd at all apart from once last week which was too early. I tried to pounce this morning but didn't really work and we stopped half way through sorry tmi. And tonight I just don't feel it'll happen .... looking like January bus already for me

Ah, right i'll hold off on the pineapple, you never know!! I'll be honest I'll try everything, lol!

Oh wow I never ever eat pineapple, either before or after ovulation haha.. there are so many suggested dos and donts I lose track sometimes! Not doing baby aspirin @Looking, are you?

@Funkyemzie. Correct me if I'm wrong but i think you're supposed to eat the pineapple after ovulation. Others on here will correct me if I'm wrong but I think it makes your "environment" too acidic if you eat it before x

Ok so jumping on the bus again this month. Stats:

TTC #2
BFP due 8th Dec
Age 36
Months TTC 8, now on cycle 9.

So last month was the shortest ever at 24 days and my period was very light and only 3 days...never happened before, normally 5 days or more. Anyway, this pineapple thing I read earlier...i eat pineapple like it bloody going out of fashion, literally everyday! Never had a positive opk so this cycle got a load of cheapies an going to start testing tomorrow twice a day. Think I'm now going to hold off on my beloved pineapple this month!

What does baby aspirin do??? Xxx

Is anyone trying baby aspirin this month? x

Hope you don't mind me joining. I'm ttc #2. Dd is now nearly 3 and was a surprise so I'm new to consciously planning to conceive.

Cycle #1 ttc ended in AF arriving last Monday. So I'm now on CD6 again and ready to give the Sperm Meets Egg Plan a go from CD8. I'll be using OPKs but not temping.

Good luck to everyone!

@babydreaming thank you for the welcome! It's so nice to see so many of us on this virtual bus...I so hope lots of us have the BFP next month (thanks for clarifying it's meaning...I'm still learning the lingo).

I'm the same with not really knowing when I'll ovulate...it's day 7 of "flashy smiley face" on the clear blue monitor which seems odd. Hopefully by next month we will have a clearer idea of when we ovulate as cant see hubby and I doing the bd for 7+ days in a row (sadly lol).

Fingers crossed your baby number 2 will be along in 2018! Sending you buckets of baby dust xx

@ournextadventure welcome! I’m in a similar situation. Officially trying next month (when our little boy is 1 year old) but using this month to get my head back in the gain, track ovulation etc! It’s exciting but scary. I’ll be about 10dpo on 1st Jan and I’m tempted to test then too just cus it would be a great way to start the new year (but not certain when I will ovulate this month or next so who knows!)

I think BFP means big fat positive...someone correct me if I’m wrong?!

Hello everyone

My first ever post on MN!

I'm joining the December Bus

TTC #1
Age: 34
Cycle #1
BFP: (not 100% sure what this acronym means but if it means when is AF or positive a test due that's: 1 Jan (I'm hoping for extra reasons to celebrate on New Year's Eve!)

I'm so excited to start trying, and so scared too.

Started using clear blue digital this cycle and BBT thermometer just so I can get to know my cycle. No BD this month as I have the flu and that's not sexy lol

Good luck everyone!!!!

I used CB advanced for the first time this month. I got 10 days of flashing smilies and then gave up. I'm not sure whether to try again next week or not. My periods are so irregular at the moment.

@surreygirl1987. I'm using them for the first time this week too 😊

TTC #1
Cycle #1

First time trying for us so everything is brand new. Frightened, anxious and super excited all at once! Best wishes to everyone x

Hahaha. Maybe in a few more months I'll try it if nothing's worked by then!!
The those clearblue tests are awesome - I'll probably only try them this one minth but just wanted reassurance that I was getting the right info from the cheapies. As it turned out I got a solid smiley face on the clearblue today AND an almost equally strong second line on my cheapy eBay test today... so i can confirm that the cheap option seems to do the trick 😁 now need to muster the energy to bd today and tomorrow again... Haha.

Think I need to invest in some of these clearblue ovulation tests. Haha I've never gone as far as legs in the air but I must admit I do stay lying down

Been trying out those clearblue smiley face ovulation tests for the first time this week
... really impressed! Way better than the cheap green ones! Though much more expensive too! Thought I'd try them out to pinpoint ovulation more specifically at least just for this month. Currently getting flashing smiley faces and increasing (almost) ewcm so going to try and dtd every day until fw is all over... eeeek! What's the deal with legs in the air after bd? Is that a real thing? I just lay on my back afterwards last night and went to sleep...

@peterpanwendy I should be due to ovulate Monday ish too, good luck and hope we get our BFPs!!
