End of Dec bus (hopefully a lucky bus)!!!!

As expected, af has arrived. I woke with awful pain from my vagina all the way round to my rectum and my back feels like it's on fire 😕 I've taken a prescribed painkiller for period pain but it's not kicked in yet and my hot water bottle hasn't really helped either. We're meant to be going to see family at midday, I'm just hoping this intense pain passes by then.

@Tamalama Thank you 😊 Sorry for you too if that's the case 😕. Fingers crossed for everyone next month! X

I think I'm out, pre af headache and shakes have kicked in. Plus I did an frer earlier on and bfn 😕

@SoshoSnow I'm sorry to hear that 😕

I'm out 😔 AF arrived a day early yesterday, just as I was heading out for an 8+ hour coach journey 👍. Good luck to everyone else!! X

12dpo, boobs are really sore and tingly today but still squishy. I've not have pain/sensations like this before. I did in early pregnancy but boobs were much firmer. I've got a few af cramps and backache today so I suspect I'm out, it's only the sore boobs that are giving me hope! They're making me feel quite uncomfortable 😕 I'm due on tomorrow...

@ceebee21 af due on Christmas Day for me too. Boobs have been sore last couple of days, especially today but they're still squishy. I've woken up with a slight sore throat, but it's that time of year so it probably doesn't mean anything, plus I've got some cramping, so I think I'll be out too xx

No news here. Due Christmas Day, have ic’s arriving tomorrow, so will use them over the next few days. No symptoms tbh, so reckon I am out xx

@BFP2020 sorry, I only just saw your message! Af is due on Christmas Day! Not sure how I feel about that... how are you getting on?

@ChampooPapi yeah, I guess you just never can tell with these things, i think my dd was conceived after I'd gone out to a party. I'm ttc baby number 2, I found out NYE last year that I was pregnant but I had a mc mid January 😕 we gave it a few months before trying again and we're now on cycle 10. I turn 39 next Friday so I'm aware that time isn't on my side! Having said that, I had my dd a month before I turned 36.
I did actually test yesterday using frer just to see if I should have a few drinks. It was obviously a bfn. It was probably too early to take the test and i took it in the evening before I went out, and I know it's best to use fmu. I will test again if af doesn't arrive on time, not too keen to do it on Friday though because it's my birthday 🙈

@Tamalama are you going to test the end of next week if no af shows?

@Tamalama I'm in the same boat as you, currently 10 days post ovulation (but that's only a rough guess as I'm not doing ovulation sticks). Also drank a shed load Friday night as a friend came down and had a boozy Christmasy thing earlier in the week.

Always do dry Jan, sometimes Feb too so will feel a lot better ttc over those months if it doesn't work out for me either this month. I'm TTC my third anyway so not in a huge rush and I'm only 32 so there is time!

Funny enough though although I've gone way over my boozing quota for a normal month I did the same when I conceived my first daughter so 🤷‍♀️

How is everyone doing? I'm 10dpo today but I'm sure I'm out. Went to my works Christmas party on Thursday and drank a fair amount and I was out again last night and also drank quite a bit so I reckon I'm out. I'm due to come on on Wednesday so if I doesn't arrive then I'll be doing dry January and hopefully 2020 will be my year 😊 ttc during the Christmas period is really hard 😕

@TunnocksTcake thank you! I had quite a good temp rise this morning, so that makes me feel a bit more relaxed... can only wait and see now.

@BFP2020 thanks, I hope so too, I guess either way just have to enjoy Christmas and the festive period xx

@ceebee21 Hopefully You will get a really nice surprise Xmas eve. It is stressful but all we can do is try and try again. xx

@TunnocksTcake Congrats such a nice early Xmas present xxx

@Tamalama I stopped going to the gym the last 2 months to see if that made a difference and it didn't so back to the gym now since monday and going to concentrate on that DTD every 2nd day of FW and hope I get my BFP soon. I honestly don't think the drinking affects anything!! I'm looking forward to a nice few drinks over Xmas. So are you due AF 26th Dec so? xx

@ceebee21 as promised here is my chart. I stopped recording bding after fertile week but also only did it like once I really didn't feel like it.
I still don't have sore boobs for the record ladies just getting really bad headaches, the odd cramp and feel a bit out of it, like fuzzy headed! Good luck to you all, fingers crossed for many more BFPS!!
Oh and I did a digi, another frer and a cheap last night, pregnant 1-2 on digi and another line on frer but absolutely nothing on the ic cheapy just in case anyone uses them!

@TunnocksTcake Congratulations!! 😊🥳 x

@ceebee21 sorry I have exceeded my daily limit for photos!! I will put it up tomorrow for you!

@TunnocksTcake oh my what fantastic news.

You must be so pleased.

would you mind sharing your BBT chart with me... I am trying to temp at the moment. xx

@TunnocksTcake congratulations!! Amazing news, right before Christmas as well. So happy for you xx

Congratulations @TunnocksTcake wonderful news xx

@TunnocksTcake that's brilliant! Congratulations!!

@BFP2020 I like the name change, hopefully you'll get your BFP in January 😊 I'm not too bad, I think I'm 5dpo today. I had 2 ic opks left from last month so I thought I'd use them up. I usually ov around cd13, I used it last Wednesday at cd13 and got a positive reading. I used the last one on Thursday and line was fainter, so I'm guessing I ov on Thursday. Therefore I'm counting Friday as 1dpo which would put me at 5dpo. Got some ovary pain and lower back pain, but to be honest I think I also had that last month, and 5po is too early to symptom spot. Throughout my 10 cycles some months I've used opks and not used them, I've had alcohol some months during tww and not drank during others. I've dtd loads in the fertile week and some months we've only dtd a couple of times. At the end of day it's a lottery so I'm just not stressing, what will be will be... x having said that, I will be sad if I don't get a bfp this month...

Guys guys I'm 12dpo and still had high temps, bought a lid of frers on the amazon deal so thought why not and look! I can't believe it I'm sat in my bed staring at it expecting the line to disappear!!

HI All,

I seemed to have OV's later this month - I think Saturday PM / Sunday early morning... so going with 2DPO at the moment, and think I will test on Monday/Tuesday... hope everyone is doing ok.

it is all so depressing not seeing a BFP, and also when OV is delayed xx

@Tamalama I've changed my name to see if it will bring me some luck :)
I'm ok. Fingers crossed for you :) How you feeling today?

@Sunflower2019 I'm on month 12 but even after 12 months they don't do much. I've already had my bloods checked and I'm def ovulating. My OH is going to get his sperm checked next. The doctor does suspect I have Endo and has referred me already to get that checked out but It will be Feb before I get an app I dunno should I just go private now and not wait any longer.
