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 🤞🏼

I take pregnacare too. And i have a gp in the family who highly recommends it. Spoke to a midwife too and she said to take it too

I'll see how I get on with poas in the morning they're supposed to pick up hcg from 10miu/ml but I'm a bit skeptical

yellowmelon · 14/12/2020 19:56

Fingers crossed you'll have success this time, @charlxx

yellowmelon · 14/12/2020 19:55

@charlxx Just read up thread - I also thought I'd caught this month. I definitely felt pregnant. Have taken to frer though - so pretty sure I'm out. I want af to just hurry up now!

charlxx · 14/12/2020 19:50

@yellowmelon I am also ovulation around new year! Hopefully some good news for us early new year x

yellowmelon · 14/12/2020 19:48

Can I join? I'm expecting af any day (don't think last month was successful), so will be ovulating near NY. It would be a great way to start 2021 to have a bfp in early January. Good luck to all!

Lille4 · 14/12/2020 19:45

@arc91 good luck on the FRER tomorrow 🙏🙏

@charlxx gutted for you 😞 hopefully next cycle you get your bfp.
I take pregnancy vitamins as I'm aware my diet doesn't contain a lot of the vitamins needed for healthy conception. Some people do just fine without them though. I prefer to take them because they don't mess with cycle or skin plus extra health benefits. So no harm really.
I also bought the pregnacare for men for DH and added DHA vitamins to my intake last month.

charlxx · 14/12/2020 19:39

Period showed up over the weekend ... Gutted. I honestly thought I had some symptoms. I keep telling myself I need a period after my chemical in November, maybe my body needed a period to reset.

Ovulation due the end of December so still hoping for a December conception and this will be our third cycle trying, hopefully third time lucky! What is everyone's thoughts on these pre pregnancy vitamins ? Waste or money or do they work ?

arc91 · 14/12/2020 19:35

Sorry to hear @charlxx 😔 onto the next month!

Yea the limbo is the worst, I would just prefer to know either way too but suppose our bodies need time to do it’s thing 🙄 got my FRER for the morning

charlxx · 14/12/2020 19:33

Red lady showed up for me! Gutted I honestly thought I had symptoms. Keep

Katiecorn · 14/12/2020 18:49

@DOB78 yea exactly at least that way we can either try again or concentrate on growing our babies lol. Waiting is the worst 😫

DOB78 · 14/12/2020 18:34

@katiecorn same. Get me out of limbo either way its fine just let the wait be over........I'm so impatient 😫

DOB78 · 14/12/2020 18:32

@katiecorn same here just get me out of limbo one way or the other then I know where I stand. I hate waiting 😑

Katiecorn · 14/12/2020 17:31

@arc91 its a nightmare isn't it just want AF to either turn up or get a positive on a test. Will wait until the new tests arrive before checking again so that will give me a few days at least xx

Iloveoreos · 14/12/2020 17:08

Im going to wait a day or two and then try my frer. Unless our dear frenemy AF comes knocking.🤣Got a multi pack from amazon thats hidden away in my bedside drawer.havent even opened the enevelope it came in 😁

Iloveoreos · 14/12/2020 17:05

So many of us on here on exactly same dpo! 😇

DOB78 · 14/12/2020 16:40

@iloveoreos @arc91 so I did buy some from Home Bargins 99p for 2 then I got home and the poas have arrived. I'm gonna test in the morning and see. We've got a lovely weekend away planned so if its a BFP he can celebrate with his friends if its a BFN I can drinks lots pf gin!!!

arc91 · 14/12/2020 15:21

Ooppss sorry the the long post!

arc91 · 14/12/2020 15:21

Thanks all, I am crossing everything, got my DH hopes up too so hope we’re not setting ourselves up for a fall. Only time will tell and time can be the worst!!

@Katiecorn yea I wish I ordered the FRER, might go an pick one up later although DH is asking me to wait a few days 😱 I am still having negatives on IC’s too.

@DOB78 we are due the same day then, let’s pray nothing turns up 🙏🏼 It seems so long away but I have got a week off so going to keep as busy as poss.

@Twittwoo2020 sorry to hear about your eptopic, hope this is your month too. Your due AF not far behind mine.

@Hannah199y did you use a first response at 8/9dpo?

@Lille4 really hoping it all works out for you. Pregnancy after loss is not great is it, most of the excitement gets taken away, I think I’ll just worry the whole time especially the first 12 weeks.

I’m trying not to symptom spot, they are so similar to AF symptoms it would be really hard to tell. Last time I remember being tired and actually sleeping cos I’ve never been a good sleeper and my DH said he knew by the feel of my boobs before I even tested! I waited until day of AF last time though to test.

Alist12 · 14/12/2020 13:39

@JLQ1020 hiya, I never used fertility trackers or opks until after 6 months of trying. Me and my boyfriend are now in cycle 15 of trying. I could never get a clear positive on an opk but I would get pains on my sides every month in the middle. Don't give up hope it will happen. When will you be testing this month? I'm going to start testing at 11dpo so Christmas Day x

JLQ1020 · 14/12/2020 13:36

Hi all
I've been TTC for our 1st baby, on month 3 now so hopefully this month is the month. I haven't been using any fertility trackers except an app so I think if I'm still not pregnant by Feb 2021 I will start using those. Don't want to stress too much or take the fun out of it.

Alist12 · 14/12/2020 13:33

Supposed to ovulate today and been having little pains in my belly with a small amount of clear stretchy cm. Is this ovulation or something else? Dtd last night and even held my legs in the air for 10 minutes to make sure ahah🤣any help will be great. I haven't done an opk today because I always get a negative in the morning and then a strong line in the afternoon/evening

Iloveoreos · 14/12/2020 13:12

@dob78 yes . I was tempted to use frer today but didnt want to waste it so used the cheapy and the cheapy one made me sad. Although the cheapy one was what i used first to test when i had my chemical in oct and it worked fine.although very faint lines

DOB78 · 14/12/2020 13:08

@iloveoreos its so hard not to test when you feel certain you'll get a BFP. Its so disappointing when it doesn't come. I've got to go shopping and as much as I'm determined not to buy any tests I'm tempted to pick up some cheapies and test tmora.
I just wanna know either way before I crack up

Katiecorn · 14/12/2020 12:33

@Lille4 thank you for your positive words. I dont currently have anymore I ordered some F.r.e.r so will hold off testing until they arrive and see what they show if AF doesn't turn up before then haha. Im trying to stay hopeful x
