December Bus - Christmas Wishes

994 replies

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

Id give it another 2 days tbh hun, i got a 10dpo bfn too. Im going to try and hold off 2 days too xx

MrsKTx · 04/12/2017 11:52

Hi Ladies,
I am new to the thread!
I am 10 DPO and tested this morning and yesterday on a IC and got two BFN Sad
I have a clearblue in the draw so not sure whether to use that tomorrow?!
I've also ordered a couple FRER so waiting for them to arrive.

sophherts · 04/12/2017 11:50

@HoneyCake86 for sure! Xx

HoneyCake86 · 04/12/2017 11:44

Soph i think the uncertainty is the worst bit lol xx

sophherts · 04/12/2017 11:42

@HoneyCake86 on my last pregnancy (ended in mc) I had v v faint positives on cb's from 10dpo and only got my bfp on frer the day before af was due at 13dpo

I hate all this uncertainty!

HoneyCake86 · 04/12/2017 11:36

AF due in 3 days hun. Its early but with most of my past pregnancies, FRER picked it up as early as 9dpo, maybe if i mentally prepare for AF it wont be as dosheartening when she does arrive xx

sophherts · 04/12/2017 11:29

@HoneyCake86 when are you due af? I got a massive BFN on frer this morning but there's a little voice that's saying 'you're not out until af appears'

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/12/2017 11:28

as* not ad

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/12/2017 11:28

@heavenforbid. Im in the same boat. Tried tracking ovulation with sticks this month but it didn't work out and couldn't rely on cm ad I had some from day 12-14 and now have had loads of it for the last few days!

HoneyCake86 · 04/12/2017 11:21

Test*

HoneyCake86 · 04/12/2017 11:20

Tested with frer and the blankest white bfn ever. In previous pregnancies i got a faint bfp but theres literally nothing. So i’m just waiting for af now. Next af/teet will be 4jan. Good luck ladies with yours xx

heavenforbid · 04/12/2017 11:13

Fx Bali and Looking!

I am also fairly certain I'm out this month, still not entirely convinced I'm actually ovulating as temps are weird. Would be a nice surprise to find out for certain if I am ovulating by getting a BFP though!

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/12/2017 10:53

@heavenforbid I'm due between Thursday and Sunday - depending on how long my cycle decides it wants to be!

BaliBound · 04/12/2017 10:49

Yay more Christmas bfps. Congratulations ladies!

So my AF is due tomorrow. I have no symptoms of anything, which is pretty normal for me. I'm pretty certain that I'm out but until AF arrives there's always that glimmer of hope. Despite me being convinced I wouldn't POAS this month so tempted to buy a FRER. AF doesnt always show first thing and it will drive me mad if not.

We've decided not to put TTC on hold after this month so I'll probably be on the Jan bus after tomorrow

heavenforbid · 04/12/2017 10:39

Wooo Looking we can be cycle buddies haha!
When are you due AF/BFP? Flo has me down for a 35 day cycle this month (so due AF on Saturday) but last ones have all been 42+. I was planning to hold off until Saturday to test but clearly that's not happening Wink

LookingAtTheStars89 · 04/12/2017 10:13

@heavenforbid I think I'm 1 dpo behind you :-)

heavenforbid · 04/12/2017 09:45

Aren't they just @peterpanwendy ! Husband nearly fell off his chair when I said I'd ordered 50 pregnancy tests hahaha. Don't think he understands how quickly we get through them!

@heavenforbid IC's are a god send, I have done one almost every day for the last week! Good luck x

Hi everyone - congrats to all the BFPs! Such lovely news.

I am a moron and tested this morning at 8dpo and obviously it was the whitest white BFN ever. Temp is still high but it has been a bit all over the shop so we'll see. Got a batch of IC so might do one every day this week just to stop me getting itchy to use the FRER hidden in the back of the towel cupboard Blush

@Sparklesdontshine did you get a FRER? No chance of me getting one today, I'm a teacher so verrrry busy Envy and won't go near a shop tonight!

HoneyCake86 · 04/12/2017 08:39

Me too. Over the years ive lost my ability to tolerate much alcohol. Pre-kids id go out partying twice a week. Now i just want cake and sleep 😂 i dunno i guess its just getting old and losing interest in alcohol. So fair play to ya xx

sophherts · 04/12/2017 08:35

@HoneyCake86 ha ha true! I'm not a big drinker anyway so I'm done after 1 or 2!

HoneyCake86 · 04/12/2017 08:30

It wont hurt to have a little soph Xmas Wink.

I remember when i discovered i was pregnant with my eldest back in 2006. I was mortified because a week before that we had a house party and i had drank enough alcomohol to get a large orca drunk. shots, mickey finns, vodka the lot 🙈 the midwife didnt seem bothered about that though and i still had a good healthy pregnancy. Fyi im not saying get drunk but i think a celebratory glass with dinner should be fine xx

sophherts · 04/12/2017 08:11

@HoneyCake86 the first thing I said to my DH was 'now I can drink all the port at xmas!' Although my next ovulation will probably be 22nd Dec so maybe not...

Fx for everyone else!

HoneyCake86 · 04/12/2017 07:59

Aw soph sorry hun Sad.

Hang in there girls, perhaps we’re meant get a new year BFP so we can eat what we want get merry and eat turkey roast without keeling over with morning sickness?? —grabs straws—Xmas Wink
