TTC DECEMBER 2021 🎅🏼

@ttcbabya sending love & positivity. It's so shit isn't it x

@Billymay that's annoying lol, pulling out isn't a contraceptive though so hopefully some sperm still got where it needed to go! I'm in a similar boat, my husband is 'injured' and will barely go near me this month it's such a pain. My cycle is all over the place so I'm just trying to make sure we do it every other day but he is making that veryyy bloody difficult. You are right they have one job lol! But fingers crossed this could still be our month x

@Glago2017
It’s not mandatory to have symptoms!
Missed period is the most important.
Each body is different.

@Jujules20 thanks hun x

@Waldoyle good luck!! x

Hi all,

Mind if I join ye? I'm currently writing a diary about my tww to take my mind off my tww 😅 I'm 14 dpo, didn't get my usual sore boobs after ovulation and they still aren't sore but they are a little fuller the last 2 days. Had very light spotting 10dpo followed by light cramps. Have had 3 bfn but I know I'm testing early. Af due tomorrow and I'm hoping it doesn't arrive. Will test again in the morning 🤞 been ttc for 6 months and never had symptoms close to what I'm getting this month. Trying not to get my hopes up though

Hi all. I just need to off load my frustration. This is our second cycle trying… husband is all up for it. Yesterday was my ovulation day and we dtd Sunday night, last night we did and then he pulled out 🙈 I now feel bad but I was so annoyed, he just said he forgot. I had in my head this was our month and I’ll be telling him around Xmas we were pregnant. I’ve said after this month if it didn’t happen we would leave it for a while as I have my other daughters birthdays jan and feb and obviously Christmas is an expense… I just feel deflated… he had one job 🤦‍♀️ Ugh men.

I'm definitely out this month - AF has arrived.
Disappointed as usually we go off like rabbits during FD but this time spread it out and used preseed. Feel like this will never happen for me. Over it.

Good luck to all you ladies left to test. Really hope you get your BFP's. It gives me hope xx

[quote peanutbaba]@ttcbabya thanks for your reply! I've not had any smileys at all, just an empty circle up to now. I had no idea there were different smileys, I am so clueless! [/quote]
No worries! Yep, you have a flashing smiley which is high fertility, and then a static smiley which is peak fertility- you should ovulate 12-36 hours after that.

@alexalexalex18 I am 8dpo. The ttw is the worst. I don't have any symptoms so not feeling hopeful but u never know. X

Anyone in day 5 or 6 DPO?
Really need a buddy here

@ttcbabya thanks for your reply! I've not had any smileys at all, just an empty circle up to now. I had no idea there were different smileys, I am so clueless!

@Keepingmyfingerscrossed oh darling! I completely sympathise with you, I woke up to find light red blood in my pants and when I wipe. Wishing it's implantation too as I didn't think I would get pregnant this cycle but I was hopeful just like you, but I know that the reality is - this is the beginning of my period. I was having vivid dreams too. It's so horrible how the body can play tricks on you. It's so sad and horrible that we have to go through this. I never imagined ttc would be this hard. I hope that as with time passing, your stomach issues get sorted and you're that step
Closer to getting your BFP and gorgeous baby! Stay hopeful as hard as it may be xx

Good morning, does anyone have any experience of clear blue digital opks? I'm cd14 today and no smiley yet ☹️ this is my first month of being off the pill so I'm counting my last withdrawal bleed as my period... all a bit new to me as my first pregnancy was a little surprise. Do I just keep on testing until I get the smiley? Not sure how much BDing DP can take 😂

@ttcbabya @MummyBear405 @newjourney21
Just an update (sorry tmi) - am bleeding more than yesterday and this morning.. it started with brown discharge in the afternoon yesterday. I decided to wear a pad in case I get my periods. Nothing until night and Then saw a few drops of red/pinkish blood last night before going to bed. Just tiny drops. I had terrible cramps last night that woke me up this morning at 5. Went to the loo and noticed just a few drops more. It didn’t look like my regular af.
Anyway, by this time (10am here), I can see more bleeding. Red/pinkish flow.. no clots. And still not enough to soak even half a pad. Very less. Am still bloated, less cramps but still have them. No sore boobs. Feeling a bit off. But I think am getting anxious that’s why. I am actually feeling very low honestly. Although I convinced myself that am not pregnant this time, but I was hopeful. I had some symptoms I never had before. And am sitting here completely clueless right now. I feel like somethings wrong with me and I’ll never get pregnant. I get bad dreams these days quite often. I had some vivid dreams this tww that am pregnant and father of the child is someone else.. and strange creepy dreams. I saw twice that am pregnant. But I always thought may be because I want to get pregnant that’s why all this. My periods are irregular last two months (and if this is actually my period, then three months), I am having stomach issues which has added to my worries. My Gp isn’t too concerned though. I k ow some will say this might be implantation and test but I feel like it’s not. I had similar issue past two months and had my beta hcg done and all negatives. So am completely heartbroken right now. Can’t believe I am actually crying while typing all this.

I wish you all good luck. Thanks for listening ❤️❤️ Keep me posted.

@newjourney21 and @MummyBear405 just thought should give you an update- woke up with terrible cramps this morning! Checked and only a very small amount of bleed on my pad so far. Doesn’t look like an af yet? But stomach cramps are 5 times worse than my usual period. And no sore boobs now. So not sure what’s happening. I’ll keep you posted.

@ttcbabya oh that sounds so good!! I tried not to think of ttc and tww last month and here I am again! Lol.. sometimes it good just to let your body do what it wants to do and not pay much attention to it. I never really noticed any twinges before this whole drama started. Not even ovulation cramps! And now I symptom spot everything and end up feel like a crazy women when I get my bfn. I did have strange knee pain this whole tww..

Small bleed (like spots but little more than spotting) on my pad but no af yet. Cramps are 5x sore. It was so bad I couldn’t sleep well.

We both are in the same boat. Let me know how you get on ❤️ And you are not out until af shows! So keeping my fingers crossed for you 😊

@Keepingmyfingerscrossed defo with you on my body doing weird things since TTC! But then I'm thinking did these things always happen but I just wasn't ever paying as much attention! That does sound quite positive....hopefully it is implantation bleeding and not AF!

I felt like I was coming on for a few days and then nothing but one thing I can't seem to shake is pain underneath my ribs which seems very strange! Not sure I've heard of that being a symptom but anything goes I guess! Have my fingers crossed for you

@Babyboom1990 how are you getting on? Its been a few days since you tested, did you take another? X

Hey lovely ladies,

I've been part of the November TTC thread, hoping this month I get lucky

@MummyBear405 yes lovely I was!

In a similar position to you. We are on cycle 2 of TTC no2. Fell pregnant in the second cycle with my first so hoping for the same!

How you feeling about it this time around?

@Natalie2304 were you in the November thread? I'm 2 dpo so just started my TWW, fingers crossed!

@Keepingmyfingerscrossed oh bless you! It is so hard, I'm only on cycle 2 TTC our second but we didn't go through any of this with our first so it's still a bit of a novelty to me I think!

I'm only 2 dpo but we didn't managed to DTD the day I ovulated so we're not very hopeful for this month! Planning to test on Monday at the earliest, although I'm going to try and hold out as long as possible.

Sending you lots of baby dust, you're not out yet xx

Awesome @Jujules20! I have issues with testing so will do at least one a day over the next few days!!
