Early December testing?

@Ellsbells112 I'm also away soon. Going on holiday for a week from the 9th. I will know by then whether it has worked this month. So i will take it as an opportunity to either have loads of cocktails all week if it hasn't worked or to just chill and enjoy the time away together with a bun in the oven! I see it as win win either way ☺️

@Gillsg141290 @FingersCrossedXXX my Christmas party is this Sat. Will you drink?
I quickly googled it and apparently drinking can affect implantation. I was thinking I would maybe only have 2 or 3? I'm not usually a big drinker anyway so it wouldn't be unusual for me to only have that much. Am I looking into this too much????

@fingerscrssedXXX I’m the same! I feel like I have ovulated today and I want to test right away by obvs nothing is going to come of that. This is my second and I would say I am worse this time than I was the first.

I think I may test the day before my Xmas party as that will be 3/4 days before AF then I will know if I can have a good drink or not.

@Gillsg141290 Welcome! We'll be testing at the same time (though I'll also probably test about 20 times before then!).

I have my Christmas party this Friday.

@fingerscrossedXXX I know what you mean but like you said it just takes one! Fingers crossed for you x

@Laur89 Ahhh sorry to hear that hun, on to the next cycle ay 🙄 I'm going away on the 11th! So I hope it won't interfere with implantation! X

@Lizziedu49 hey hey I'm cd8 trying ijg for number 2 cycle 4 now!! Haha, good luck just don't get your hopes up I did it the first 2 months now I try not to obsess (still do XD)

Hello Ladies,

I hope you don't mind me joining.

I am new to mums net and I am also on a similar cycle to some of you. This is month 2 of TTC after last month getting back to normal after coming off of pill. I am due AF 9th December (2 days after my xmas party....) I am pretty sure ovulation is today so heres hoping.

@Lizziedu49 Same. It's so hard not to get your hopes up and hope it will happen in the first month!

@FingersCrossedXXX this would be my first, it's so exciting but so scary!

@Lizziedu49 Hey! I'm due on the 8th so on a similar cycle to you. Also on cycle 1 and trying for our first.

Will this be your first?

We can symptom spot together and drive ourselves insane.

Hi gals! Sorry, haven't had a chance to catch up on your messages so far (there's a lot of them) I am 0.5DPO 🙈 cycle 1 of TTC. AF is due 7th Dec so would be nice to have company until then! Tell me about yourselves please!

@Ellsbells112 Finally. I'm not confident this month though as only got to DTD yesterday and will try again this evening. I know it only takes 1 but still. Pretty certain I ovulated last night as had cramps and back ache!

So much waiting!!

Hey guys how is everyone?
Been quiet, I'm just waiting to be fertile again! Dtd last night for fun haha and I'll start ovulation tests tomorrow or Wednesday should be ovulating over the weekend I'm cd8 today.

@FingersCrossedXXX whoop for your positive! That's great news hope you've been busy!

@Robbo93 Sorry to hear about AF but glad your vitamins seem to be helping!

Has everyone had a good weekend?

FINALLY got my a positive on my OPK this morning. May have also had a positive late yesterday afternoon but I forgot to go back and check in the time limit and about 20 mins later was dark.

@Anny27 I have previously but I can never seem to get a positive on them. When I used clearblue previously I got the smiley face so I knew it was def a positive.
I've ordered the advanced ones this time tho, so it will have flashing and static smiley and then I can see if these b6 vitamins really are helping my LP!
I was taking 100mg of b6 this month, but I think I'm going to cut back to 50mg x

Ahh @Robbo93 atleast you know whetr you are at now :)

Have you been using cheapy opks? I find them easy so i havent gone for the clearblue ones yet

AF has arrived for me! At long last! CD36!!
I think the b6 vitamin has deffo helped with lengthening my lutuel phase, I'm gonna order some clearblue OPKs off Amazon & see how this next month goes xx

@FingersCrossedXXX
That's really annoying. I guess all you can do is have as much sex as possible lol

@ChampooPapi Haha, that made me chuckle and is so true. It is Christmas after all, not the easiest time to cut down on drinking all together and I do enjoy a night out with the work lot.

@Ellsbells112 A teeny bit of CM earlier this morning which was white but not sure too sure of texture as was only a teeny bit. The OPK I took late afternoon as really faint again so I don't know. Starting to think I'll never see a positive one!

@FingersCrossedXXX oh I'd definitely drink, its definitely a personal choice but it's not going to effect getting pregnant or anything that's happening at this stage. Life doesn't need to stop, you must keep living how you would normally surely! If that's not drinking then that's the way to go forward, or of you have issues with alcohol then of course it's a no brainier to try and be very careful.

But if non of above I'd be in party mode for sure. Might be the last time for bloody years so I'd be in those glad rags dancing and toasting 🍾

@fingerscrossedXXX
Annoying, make sure you dtd as much as possible lol any other signs like ewcm or pain?

@Ellsbells112 Oh no, you don't want to be on your period when you are there!! God I'm so jealous of your Christmas break!

Cycle day 20. I had my darkest line so far this morning, though still negative. Going to try again now!

@fingerscrossedXXX
Yeah I know what you mean just see how you feel on the night! I'm fertile end of next week and then Christmas if this one doesn't workout lol it says I'll ovulate on the 30th December, I'll be flying back to London on 31st so I hope it doesn't affect my chances (again that's if it doesn't work this time around lol fingers crossed it does!!) I'm also hoping my period doesn't come when I'm out there I'm literally due on when we are on the island in Cairns I will bloody cry haha
What cycle day are you?

Thanks for your replies ladies @Anny27 and @Ellsbells112

Yeah it's a difficult one because I would still like to be able to relax and enjoy myself because for all I know, it may take years to conceive but I am also worried about ruining implantation! Its a tricky one, might just see how I feel on the night and aim to take it easy.

After this month by TWW is due to start on Christmas Day!

Hey ladies hope all is well? I'm cd5 now, just waiting till cd8 till get SMEP started.

@FingersCrossedXXX it depends on you really... I mean at 4dpo you probably won't be implanting and alcohol only affects once you're 6 weeks if I recall correctly but I personally think if you get drunk it could affect implantation? I mean it must do? I don't know 🤔 but each to their own. I was on a hen do during my 2ww a month ago and well safe to say I drank a lot lol
I'm even cutting right back on caffeine during this 2ww, I'm going to do anything and everything and see if it makes a difference 🤷‍♀️
