@BiscuitLover3678 hi, I remember you from other threads a while back, hope you're doing OK. I'm on cycle 8 now, feel for you being on cycle 12. Mine would also be an Aug baby if BFP - AF due Monday. Not noticed any symptoms different from usual so far so not getting my hopes up

I remember you both too! I also started in December last year. I’m now doing IUI for the first time and on DPO 4. Best of luck to you both, sorry we’re all still here…

Hey everyone, hope you don’t mind if I join? Period is due on the 1st and I’ve had a BFN this morning so I’m pretty confident that I’m out for this cycle!! My next period is due on Boxing Day, god wouldn’t a BFP be the best Christmas present ever 🥹. We said if this cycle wasn’t successful, we’d be a bit more relaxed next time but now I know I’m out, I want to go all guns blazing 😂🙈. I’m thinking of trying conceive plus vitamins, has anyone tried them?

ImpatienceOfASaint · 29/11/2022 08:47

Hi ladies!

Sorry been AWOL for a few days. AF due today, I had cramps and the tiniest bit of spotting but since then nothing. Wouldn’t it be so lovely to get a BFP for Christmas?!

Stilltobeseen · 29/11/2022 08:07

I really don't want to read too much into this but my boobs have felt weird on and off since 2/3dpo not sore just awareness that they are there if that makes sense. So I haven't breastfed in over a year and a half but it almost feels like a gentler milk let down I've been having. I just got out the shower squeezed both boobs and a little bit of milk I guess you could call it came out?! Wtf?! I've been having lower back pain and cramps on and off the past few days as well. It's surely far too early for this nonsense!? I'm not due on my period untill next week so far too early to test. Anyone else ever had this? Feel like I'm losing it!

DearieMeWhatsUp · 28/11/2022 21:41

I'm joining in, this is cycle 2 just finishing, but had a chemical cycle 1, and took cycle 2 off. So starting cycle 3 and I'm on day 1 of my period so keen to get going! We have either set of parents here for most of the key ovulation period so going to have to master the art of completely silent sex! Romance!!

@Yolo23 Thankyou and sorry to you too, the moment you see those 2 lines you fall in love and you start to day dream about the future. Hoping everyone on this thread gets their happy news very soon.

Thank you my lovely. I think if it’s taught me anything it’s to never test early again.

Ive battled lots of AF pains today which is normal with my endo. We’re off to Dominican Saturday so atleast we get this out the way now and can look forward to a holiday away 🥰

Matildahoney · 28/11/2022 21:37

@belimoo yay I'm not alone!

GemLou88 · 28/11/2022 21:13

Hi all, can I jump onboard? Stopped my pill in October, no withdrawal bleed or AF. Thought I had a peak earlier this month but actually got a peak and ovulation pain on the 21st, so currently 7dpo and half way through the longest tww. Planning to test on the 1st but I have zero patients and will probably test everyday 🤦‍♀️ ttc baby 2

Roxybabe · 28/11/2022 21:11

@BiscuitLover3678 I recognise your user name from previous threads! Fingers crossed for you hun! Xx

@tbark I got one on amazon thats 1500, apparently the important ingredient in it is the GLA. So look for the highest dose you can find of that. And I think you stop taking when you get your peak! Gd luck

Oh @Harper02 sorry to hear that - hope you’re doing okay!
Fingers crossed for this cycle!

AF came today, on to cycle 9 for me💔 hoping to join you ladies. My test day should be Christmas Eve 🫢

Laul89 · 28/11/2022 19:47

@Stilltobeseen thank you. It was our first month of properly trying, the month before that we were on honeymoon so didn’t pay much attention to the fertile window etc. Felt a little too good to be true and turns out it was 🥺 but onwards & upwards to a new cycle!

I’m on CD10 today, app predicts I’m due to ovulate on December 6th which is CD18. I have quite long cycles between 31-33 days. Anyway, I’ve never really paid much attention to my CM before now.. I don’t seem to get very much at all but can tell the difference in what I’m assuming is my fertile week and it’s definitely slippy and stretchy (sorry TMI!) however I’ve noticed a bit of that today. I’m wondering if it’s due to me approaching ovulation or whether I’m ovulating early 🤔 we DTD yesterday anyway but might have to do it every other day this week too! 🤣🙈

belimoo · 28/11/2022 18:57

I'd like to join too please! I'm on cycle 4 of TTC properly (tracking with OPKs). Last month they didn't show a peak at all and AF was 5 days late so I was worried that was the end of my fertility (I'm 40, waves at @Matildahoney). I had a peak on Saturday though so maybe that was just a one off for now... This is my first time trying so hoping I haven't left it too late but well aware I may have.

Anyway, I'm in the TWW now and hoping for a Christmas miracle like everyone else here. Sending good luck to you all for positive Christmases!

Hi everyone, can I join? I’ve been off threads for a while. December marks a year TTC with nothing happening 🥲

currently on TWW for a late august baby. I would actually prefer September so trying not to get too upset when AF comes in about a week. Argh! So I’ll be on here for a while possibly.

It took me 12 months to conceive my first so keep the faith! I think looking back I wasn’t quite getting the 24-36 hour window after my peak LH quite right. The month we conceived we also were a lot more relaxed. OH was away with work a lot so we literally only DTD when he was back rather than stressing about planning the optimum time.

Tbark · 28/11/2022 17:45

@Roxybabe what dose of EPO are you trying if you don't mind me asking? I'll try anything at this stage!

Roxybabe · 28/11/2022 15:27

EPO has arrived so looking forward to see if that makes any difference to my CM this cycle! 13DPO and just waiting for AF to arrive. BFN this morning on a clear blue so i’m pretty sure i’m out, only positive again this month is a longer luteal phase as I was worried it was short but seems to be fine the last 2 months!

Welcome welcome 🥰 Cycle 6 for me. Technically still waiting for AF for cycle 5 but I just know i’m out! Just want AF to hurry up to be honest. My period will be due around boxing day… what a lovely gift a BFP would be!!! Anybody trying something new this month? Or dropping somethings they tried last month.

I'm going to full embrace the OPKs and get the Pre-Seed on the go. We were very lucky to conceive first month with my daughter using temperatures and then second month with our son using pre-seed. This will be month 3 for us TTC if my period ever arrives.

ItWasTimeToGo · 28/11/2022 14:27

Hi, can I join? First time TTC - so excited ☺️

Alysskea · 28/11/2022 14:06

Hey everyone I’m hoping for a December BFP 🙏 having IUI, this is my first cycle. As PP have said it’s so hard not to get obsessed!

Sb86 · 28/11/2022 13:54

@BCxx I use natural cycles and I love it, it's so easy to use and really interesting. It definitely made me more in tune with my body, I didn't get pregnant until we actually started trying and we had been using it about 9 months.
