Praying for a December conception

Who else is praying to conceive this month?
I’m on CD 1 so I’m praying I conceive this month. Had copper coil removed just over a month ago now, and we avoided conceiving last month as hubby didn’t want an August baby (he’s an aug bub himself)
I’ve always been regular with my cycle and regular with ovulation (continued tracking while on coil) so hoping we get lucky 🤞🏼

@DOB78 I wish I had your will power! I think I’m going to cave tomorrow and probably test everyday, it’s just torturing myself so I don’t know why 😞 I don’t know if I’m 8dpo or 7dpo so still too early. Boobs was a sign for me last time but I just don’t feel it this time, neither does my DH!

@Katiecorn let hope it says away! Have you used frer?

@Iloveoreos when are you due AF?

I’ve been being so careful not drinking no alcohol etc this month to be in the best position possible but I really feel like I need a glass of wine tonight to detach myself from the situation. Can this be harmful at this stage? I couldn’t bare doing anything that might cause another mc or prevent implantation.

But then again 9dp is too early no? Last time when i ha my chemical i tested 10dpo and got the faintest line and slightly stronger on 11dpo

Iloveoreos · 12/12/2020 14:07

Was tempted to test today.9dpo. Bfn :( and ive been feeling so unwell. Literally felt so tired last night. Not sure if its in my head the feelings and symptoms :(

Katiecorn · 12/12/2020 10:12

So AF was due yesterday and so far nothing. Last test i did was 12dpo and it was negative so going to try and wait to see if lady in red arrives. 😫

DOB78 · 12/12/2020 10:05

Still waiting AF or BFP. Think I ovulated late due to having Covid, set everything back a few days. Back to TWW on day 8dpo. I'm trying to stay positive and not symptom spot too much. I have pinching pains on my right side, where I ovulated from and boobs are like cannon balls!! AF due 18th not gonna test till I'm late can't face that stark white BFN.
Trying to catch up with everyone's news

arc91 · 11/12/2020 23:42

@Leah2501 yes relax and enjoy this part 😙

@Chica1990 sorry to hear your AF turned up!

@Rumples I wish i didn’t have any tests here! I’ve got plans to keep me busy tomorrow but don’t think I’m going to have any self control Sunday which I think will be 6 days before AF due and 10dpo (not 100% on dates)

Rumples · 11/12/2020 14:20

I don't even know if I'm going to ovulate this month. On CD19 and no temp increase and no peak opk 🙄.

@arc91 I've decided that I'm not buying any tests until at least 12dpo. If they're in the house I end up testing...zero self control!

@Chica1990 sorry that AF arrived.

Chica1990 · 11/12/2020 10:03

Got my period today ☹️. I will be ovulating again over Xmas so still have another chance for December conception but I don’t know how much longer I can put myself through this 😩

Leah2501 · 11/12/2020 09:40

I’m just heading into ovulation time now. Trying to stay as relaxed as possible. I think it’s a good thing to be trying in December, as the build up the Christmas is a good distraction to all things baby related.

arc91 · 11/12/2020 09:19

Really trying to hold off testing now until at least Monday with a FRER. Any tips for distraction?

How’s everyone feeling today? Anyone coming to the end of the 2WW?

tuliprose2008 · 10/12/2020 20:45

I'm a POAS addict Grin Iv just bought 25 dip tests on amazon for £5 so I can test as much as I like hahaha. Fingers crossed for us lady's xx

outback81 · 10/12/2020 20:33

Hi @arc91 yep, I've tested 5/6dpo before even though I know it will be a bfn so I don't know why I do it to myself 😆

@Iloveoreos I've had all sorts of symptoms after ovulation and not one of them have meant I'm pregnant so I'm trying (and failing) to not do it again this month! Only 2dpo today so way too early for anything yet.

Iloveoreos · 10/12/2020 20:24

What symptoms are you ladies seeing after dpo

arc91 · 10/12/2020 19:46

Hi @outback81!

I am definitely a poas addict now too, opk’s and prg tests! I made the mistake of testing too soon today, I think only 5/6 dpo and had a BFN and felt down all day even though I know it’s probably too early to test?! Patience isn’t my strong point 😆

outback81 · 10/12/2020 08:09

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me joining!

Third month ttc #1 currently 2dpo.

It's our wedding anniversary just before Xmas so would love a bfp as a present but I have a short luteal phase so not looking hopeful! Started folic acid, vitamin b complex and vit c to try and help with it.
I am also a poas addict 🙈
Fingers crossed we get our bfps this month!!

arc91 · 10/12/2020 07:52

@Lille4 so sorry to hear, it really is exhausting! hope you get your Christmas miracle too! 🙏🏼🤞🏼

Lille4 · 09/12/2020 22:34

I’m keeping everything crossed for a BFP this month. After 2 early MCs in the last 3 months I’m sooo over it and ready for some good news. Please God 😢 Wishing everyone here a Christmas bfp as well 💗🌈

ApplePie86 · 09/12/2020 21:04

@arc91 I think I would get peak OPK tonight/tomorrow morning then ovulate tomorrow maybe? Just done another OPK but it's gone right down from 0.75 to 0.22 on Premom but I think that's because I had a couple of glasses of water. Will see what it says tomorrow.

arc91 · 09/12/2020 20:51

@ApplePie86 Yea I think my OH is exhausted now 😂 but I don’t want to miss anything! I ovulated last Thursday according to my opk’s but they are not drastically declining so I’m confused!

Keep going! When are you ovulation or due AF?

ApplePie86 · 09/12/2020 20:47

@arc91 indeed! I'm fairly positive about it all though which is good. Well done on 10 days straight. That should hopefully cover it. I'm at 8 days and want to give up!! Keeping at it though 😂

arc91 · 09/12/2020 20:31

@Emma535 thank you! I can definitely see a line there 🤞🏼 It is so hard, everyday feels like a lifetime and nothing distracts me from thinking about it!

@ApplePie86 sounds like we’re in similar circumstances, also TTC 1 after a miscarriage this year, it’s devastating isn’t it. 😞

I think we’ve done all we can this month, dtd for 10 days straight. Not taking any chances in missing that ovulation but also really paranoid about anything that can harm it!

ApplePie86 · 09/12/2020 16:59

Hope you don't mind me joining! TTC #1 after early MC in the summer. My OPKs are getting strong so think I'm about to get a positive this evening or early tomorrow. OH thinks Christmas has come early with all the DTD I've been giving him. Poor guy will be disappointed when it stops in next few days 😂

Would love to get my BFP for Christmas 🤞

tuliprose2008 · 09/12/2020 16:47

@Emma535 that's a definite line there ❤️
I had the same like this when I found out with my daughter she's now 4 years old x

tuliprose2008 · 09/12/2020 16:43

@Emma535 I have no idea, all very confusing for me came off the pill 5/6 weeks ago Iv had no period (I usually spot even if I miss 1 pill) no full on period for about 5 years !! last dtd 7 days ago so I'm hoping just to early to test.
With my son I fell pregnant whilst on the pill and my daughter I fell pregnant couple of weeks after coming off the pill so I'm hoping I'm that lucky for the 3rd time x

EssentialHummus · 09/12/2020 16:36

Me! Ov in the next few days. Ttc no. 2 after a loss earlier this year. DH has been forewarned to expect aaaallllll the sex Grin.
