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

@Pinks I’ve had similar before... think it can be normal sometimes.

I’m 11dpo, and today as bfn as they come! bbt a little higher than yesterday. Fully expecting AF in two days time and feeling like she is about to appear, had a few spots on face which is usually a tell tale sign.

@Honey we used Preseed this month as normal lube (not using the syringe thingys), had heard great things. Maybe need to use the syringes next month though.

@peterpanwendy Urgh I’m sorry, I hope that something turns up for you soon, either way! It’s horrible just sitting waiting 😔

Foreverretro · 05/12/2017 07:45

Thanks @Honey 😊

@Owlpatrol this month I have been mostly trying not to stress out about it! We haven’t DTD anywhere near what we did last month because when I didn’t ovulate we were both knackered for no reason. I had got it into my head that I wouldn’t ovulate again this month so that’s made it easier to take a step back... until the lines started coming on OPKs and now I’m back with the crazy 😂

I’m running 3 apps alongside each other at the minute (don’t judge me 😂) and they all had different ovulation predictions and none of them were correct... so since about CD8 we have been DTD every 2 or 3 days. I’m hoping it works, if not though I’m going to assume I’ll ovulate again next month and try SMEP...

It’s so difficult to try not to get frustrated with the same old routine!

peterpanwendy · 05/12/2017 07:44

@Owlpatrol nope never!

Still nothing, temp about the same here and bfn. AF due in 2 days. Anyone know how underactive a thyroid has to be to affect fertility? I know its early days but i wonder if that couldve made the difference? But at the same time i had the +opk on CD16 so i must have OV’d? I dunno i guess i just want to make sure all bases are covered for next cycle? I might consider using preseed too x

HoneyCake86 · 05/12/2017 07:26

Go for it retro! Fingers crossed for you!

HoneyCake86 · 05/12/2017 07:24

Welcome helloworld! Xmas Smile

Owlpatrol · 05/12/2017 07:20

Oh gosh @peterpanwendy is Af ever late? I was late once this year was sure I was preggers but kept getting bfn's I'm never late so its so confusing!

Owlpatrol · 05/12/2017 07:19

@Foreverretro yaay! Have you been doing anything in particular this month? Trying to find new ideas for next month. Obviously other than the obvious

Gem173 · 05/12/2017 07:15

@peterpanwendy hang in there, I’m sure your wait will end soon, hopefully with a clear bfp x

Gem173 · 05/12/2017 07:15

peterpanwendy · 05/12/2017 06:21

I had on and off bleeding from 7 dpo, that lasted for 6 days. I got my BFP yesterday Grin

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/12/2017 23:45

I'm about 7 I think x

nk1605 · 04/12/2017 23:42

@lookingatthestars89 how many dpo are you?

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/12/2017 23:17

@nk1605. I have had this the last couple of days but it's "dried up" today.

Foreverretro · 04/12/2017 23:12

Finally got my positive OPK! CD 18 so not too bad, I seem to be having 30 day cycles so plenty of time... Excited enough to post a pic here anyway! So we’ll be DTD again tomorrow afternoon and then it’s officially on to the TWW for me!

Trying not to get my hopes up but I suppose ovulating means I’m half way there...!

Pinkslink17 · 04/12/2017 22:23

Right can I get some advice..AF started yesterday and was very heavy and now there is barely anything (TMI) but changed my tampon tonight and it's almost completely dry with a little fresh blood and a little brown blood..never had this before has anyone else?

Walktwomoons · 04/12/2017 21:08

Huge congratulations to all the bfps! :) I can't imagine how excited you must be, fantastic news!
11 sports here, tested this morning and got a bfn but it was too early to test really anyway.
Nk I know what you mean about imaginary pregnancy symptoms!

LostMyBaubles · 04/12/2017 20:29

Fia, good luck.
I hope you manage to get some answers

My dm was under the miscarriage clinic
If I can help in any way dm me x

nk1605 · 04/12/2017 19:21

Congratulations @sparklesdontshine! Amazing news. Fingers crossed we have loads more BFPs before the month is out.

I'm currently 4dpo and desperately trying not to think every twinge or cramp is a pregnancy symptom! Last month I was so sure and then AF arrived. So I'm trying to keep my mind off it and not test until AF due on 11th Dec.

One question though...does anyone else ever get really watery discharge after OV? It felt like I had peed myself today! 😦

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/12/2017 19:06

@heavenforbid I'm having the same kind of thing. I also have a jumpy nerve going on in there at the minute lol. Fortunately I'm not spotty, I usually get huge ones on my cheek Blush

heavenforbid · 04/12/2017 19:02

Are you going to test again tomorrow @peterpanwendy? So exciting - fingers crossed it’s a stronger BFP for you!

Tiny babies are the best. My friend bought her 8 week old round the other day and I nearly died of squishy overload! Too cute.

I am spotty and crampy beyond belief. Unsure if it’s gonna mean early arrival of AF (which would mean a return to shorter cycles so a good silver lining) or if I can get my hopes up for it being implantation cramps?!

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/12/2017 19:01

@peterpanwendy. Ahhh so jealous! I love new baby snuggles! I'm going to see my two week old niece on Saturday for cuddles x
