December Bus 2

With my first pregnancy I got a positive on those 10miu tests at 10 DPO @lostmybaubles.

I’m not at home at the moment, so I haven’t done any OPK or anything so I’m just assuming I’m fertile now through to until I get home tomorrow and can buy some.

Just ordered lots of 10mlu ic pregnancy tests 😶

Can poas to my hearts content lol

Yay gem 💜

Owl fx!

I hope it works for us all!

Okay everyone il hop over to the pregnancy board now. Thankyou for all your help and reassurance! Good luck to you all! X

@LostMyBaubles this excites me as I've copied you and done smep all bar one day and on cough mixture (had a cold anyway) so trying not to get my hopes up

@Gem173 fantastic that's def a bfp- it'll be time to hop over to the pregnancy boards once you believe it

Got another bfp, so all looks well xx fx I don’t get af over the next 24 hrs

Congrats on all the bfps, such a lovely Christmas present!

@Justanothermama - you need to get a bbt thermometer (goes to 2 decimal places). You can get them pretty cheap from Amazon and then use an app like fertility friend to chart. You can either temp mouth or vagina. I think vagina supposed to be more consistent but I do mouth!!!! Key is to try and take temp at same time each morning before getting up / drinking / eating etc.

@BrownEyedPeanut- we sound in similar situations. It took me almost a year to conceive my first. And I'm now on cycle 4 TTC #2. I also breastfed til 11 months and AF didn't return til I stopped. LO is 15 months now. Wanted to start TTC asap as it took ages the first time and I don't want big age gap. And I'm already 35 and may ideally like more than 2.....

So I'm 12DPO today. Temps sky high today and full of hope I did a sneaky FRER this evening. Bfn. I'm so angry at myself for testing early as now im just googling 'do I still have hope at 12DPO' and feeling really gutted as deep down I'm pretty sure I'm out. This totally sucks. I really hoped it would be different this time. I guess we're just not a fertile couple.

Smep, mucus cough medicine and lots of water are my tips for ttc

I've got like a mild cramping but not painful if that makes sense?

Also feel like I'm coming down with something, maybe tonsilitis as my throat has been all achey past few days

@hungryradish, you are so close to the end of the wait! Are your cycles normally that long? I did acupuncture for about 2 months before getting pregnant with my first. I really do think it helped me get pregnant because I could feel changes to my body. My periods were very short and light and they did start to get slightly longer and barely heavier but probably just enough to get pregnant! I started acupuncture this time in September. I was still breastfeeding at that time so AF didn't even show up and was hoping this would help things get going again. Luckily got AF Nov. 3 after weaning and so far the two cycles I have had have been very regular 28 days long. I was surprised to see it return to normal right away and maybe it was due to the acupuncture. I am 36 years old so time is not on my side. I want to try everything I can to get pregnant quickly.

Sorry, cd39 today not 40.

Hi browneyedpeanut, :)

I'm still sticking around on the December bus for now, although I don't really have much hope. CD40, no af, no anything. My last cycle was 43 days which I assumed was just long due to being the first since stopping the pill, however maybe my cycle is just 43 days! Guess it's just a waiting game.

Thankyou @Lostmybaubles x💕

Congratulations Gabrielle!

Hi Ladies! I just joined today and am still trying to navigate this site. I am so glad to share with others who are in the same situation as me. I should've ovulated Thurs/Fri. I took a test Sunday (way too early obviously) and of course BFN. I will wait to take another test this weekend. Hopefully, I will get some happy news to share with my husband on Christmas [santa]. We are TTC #2. #1 took 1.5 years with a miscarriage after TTC for 9 months. DD is now almost 13 months. I got my first post partum period when she was 11 months due to ending breastfeeding so this is my 2nd cycle trying. Good luck to you all!

Good luck gem 💜

@gabrielle1201 congratulations on your pregnancy :) thankyou for reassuring me. I haven’t got any more frers so will have to see what the boots own tests will do! Af due tomorrow so fx xx

Thank you very much Gem173 I got a faint line and it progressed into a positive two days later. Wishing you the best!

Oh bugger just loaded up fertility friend app and put in my cycle details and it said O is tomorrow. I guess I’d better take that as a definite just in case. My last update on my FF account what my pregnancy chart back in 2013 ❤️

So this is what FF says with all my data put in...

Congrats @gabrielle1201 !

Hope so @Lostmybaubles, been holding my wee in since 2pm so will test later on x

Thank you @lostmybaubles I shall do that right away xx

Thermometer can go in mouth or vagina from what I've read
And it's those old school thermometers

Have a look on eBay for bbt I think they are called it they do come in packs with opks

Silly question alert.. how are you taking your temp for it to be accurate and what thermometer are you using?

Congrats gab!

Gem I'm sure it's just because you tested early and with very little urine.
Fx for you 💜

Had lots of cm today and some mild cramping today and last night
