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 ladies, hope you are all well and happy.

Quick question: can any of you remember how frequent you BD'd the month you got pregnant? Did you do it everyday or every other day? Is morning or night best?

I'm worried if we only do it every other day, We’ll miss the right time when I'm ovulating.
I’m on CD9

Thanks in advance and congratulations on being preggers!

@LookingAtTheStars89 ha ha ha! Your words really have stuck so thank you! X

LookingAtTheStars89 · 05/12/2017 19:40

Glad my words stuck :-)

LookingAtTheStars89 · 05/12/2017 19:40

@ImpatientMammy. I will try!

@sophherts Lol it was me that said that!

NoPirloNoParty · 05/12/2017 19:29

Feeling much better after the ups and downs of coil removal! I have endo so think it just messed with me a bit. So glad to see all the BFPs!! I think I ovulated early, had all the symptoms but didn't match up with ovia and didn't do any opks. Just need to patiently wait now and get the good vibes on here!

sophherts · 05/12/2017 19:28

@LookingAtTheStars89 you've done amazing! I'm cd27 today, due af Thursday and had 4bfn... when will I learn?!

Someone said (can't remember if on this thread or another) 'it ain't over til the red lady flows' so I'm clinging onto that!

ImpatientMammy · 05/12/2017 19:24

One more day and you'll have done it try hold off you've done amazing x

LookingAtTheStars89 · 05/12/2017 18:43

@ImpatientMammy. No not poas yet but I'm going to in the morning. I wasn't going to until flo was missed but I think I've done well to wait until what will be cd27 lol.

ImpatientMammy · 05/12/2017 18:39

@LookingAtTheStars89 aww I hope you get an unexpected BFP instead. Have you POAS at all yet? Sorry I loose track x

LookingAtTheStars89 · 05/12/2017 18:13

I will eat my hat if flo doesn't turn up in the next few days. Im grumpy, crampy and starving!!

Funkyemzie · 05/12/2017 14:14

@sarah9858 yeah, i'll just 'try' and be sensible...i'm a bugger though i know i am!

BaliBound · 05/12/2017 14:13

Soooo no AF yet....but I can feel the tiniest hint of cramping so it'll be here this evening right on time. On to cycle 4, so annoying! I knew this wouldn't be our month but drs and teachers (from school days) lead you to believe that if you so much as think of having unprotected sex, you absolutely will get pregnant. I spent years shitting myself if I missed even one pill 🙄 Ah well, at least I can have a winey cheesey christmas

Strawberrythief87 · 05/12/2017 14:08

Hey guys I'm TTC #1 and on first cycle I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot but it's so difficult.
I'm about 11 days post ovulation (I think) and have been getting a different, pulling kind of cramp behind my belly button and lots of heart burn (which I never ever normally get).
Statistically I know its unlikely I'll get BFP first month particularly as DH has delayed ejaculation (sorry TMI) so we only managed to finish off DTD a couple of times during the week before I ovulated but I hope we might have timed it right.
AF is due on Friday but I always get a couple of days spotting the two days before so we'll see if that shows up tomorrow. I'm trying to be very good and won't test till Friday morning (if AF doesn't come first) but it's so difficult! Good luck everyone

sarah9858 · 05/12/2017 13:39

Hi, can I join please?

TTC #2 for 6 months, currently around 5dpo I think.

@Funkyemzie - if you use a FRER it may pick it up at 10dpo however if it doesn't and you get your BFP a couple of days later I wouldn't worry too much. Maybe consider not drinking a lot but a few will not hurt :)

Funkyemzie · 05/12/2017 12:54

I have my Christmas party on Saturday and i'll be 10dpo. Is it too soon to test on Saturday morning with FRER because i also want to know if i can have a bevvy or not, i've told my friend i might be driving (with a lame excuse that i'll have to be up early Sunday morning) but she needs to know that day! Fx to everyone testing before!!! Xxx

sophherts · 05/12/2017 11:03

@heavenforbid fx for you too!

heavenforbid · 05/12/2017 10:54

Another BFN here this morning too Soph - fx you get a BFP soon (or AF hurries up at least)
Hoping I get AF (or a BFP of course Grin) before this weekend as have a big family party and want to know whether or not to drink... Had my progesterone bloods done this morning (bit late as i think I'm 9ish dpo as 7 fell over the weekend) so hopefully I'll at least know if I'm ovulating.

Wow Pizza sounds like you've given it everything this month- fx for you Flowers !

sophherts · 05/12/2017 10:53

@ImpatientMammy probably not! I should just wait for af really before spending any more money on tests

Pizzanewyorkcatcher · 05/12/2017 10:49

@impatientmammy whoops I meant pre-seed! Damn you autocorrect!

ImpatientMammy · 05/12/2017 10:47

@sophherts are ICs sensitive enough to read early BFPs? X

ImpatientMammy · 05/12/2017 10:46

@Pizzanewyorkcatcher what's pressed? I hope this is your lucky month 🤞x

sophherts · 05/12/2017 10:39

Another BFN on an IC this morning. Just wish af would appear (due on Thursday) so I can move on!

Pizzanewyorkcatcher · 05/12/2017 10:23

First time poster (long term lurker!)

28
Ttc #1
Cycle 13 :(
Af due 16/12

We have had all the tests done (OH all healthy, I possibly have ovulation issues but gp is making me have bloods every month for 3 months to be sure).

This month we have tried EVERYTHING: no alcohol, no Caffeeine, sperm meets egg, pressed, super healthy food, lots of fun (sorry tmi), yoga

We are v close to giving up so fingers crossed for this month! Has been lovely to see everyone's BFPs!!Xmas Smile

ImpatientMammy · 05/12/2017 10:21

Is anyone testing soon? Was gutted there was no BFP's this morning x

ImpatientMammy · 05/12/2017 10:20

@FruitandNutty we're doing the same just using it as a normal lube. I worry using it as a syringe might make the situation too medical for my liking. At the moment I don't feel
Like trying is taking anything away from our sex life so want to keep things natural as possible for as long as possible x
