RESTART TTC DECEMBER CLUB

I'm out this month, BFN this morning shortly followed by AF! Feeling okay about it, glad AF came so swiftly after my test so I'm not playing the waiting game! Also means I can have a drink at my Christmas Party! Fingers crossed to everyone still waiting to test hopefully you'll get your Christmas BFP ❤️

Hi all, wondering if I can join? CD5 today, is anyone around a similar time? Trying to think of ways to distract myself this week, will start DTD every other day from CD11/12 which is next week, but time is going slowly at the moment! I need to stop obsessing, I’m really busy with work but I keep finding myself so distracted thinking about wanting to be pregnant that I’m not getting stuff done or able to concentrate on work argh!

good luck to everyone in their TWW / waiting to test

found reading this thread very useful. I normally OPK each month but I think I’m gonna leave it this month and just try to cover as much as the predicted fertile window as possible in hope that it makes me a little more chilled out

Sorry to hear that @Noisinmaro but yes hopefully you can enjoy Xmas parties a bit more now. And also that sounds really frustrating @LuceNumberTwo it's not fun having to wait :(

I'm still waiting for my LH surge. It has been v low for days now - it's cd14 for me now and I think (from previous ovulation pain - I've never done opk before) that I normally ovulate on days 14-16 so I'm hoping it comes soon. I think I'll feel less stressed once I see a surge, I keep freaking myself out that maybe I don't ovulate :/

I need a moan!!

I'm pissed off! Called my gp this morning to see if they'd had the notes back from the hospital from the appointment on the 22nd November... I thought by now they'd be atleast prescribing the folic acid & they would know what's going on, I didn't think for a minute I'd have an appointment though as of yet for the clinic I'm being referred to...
But nope! GP knows nothing about anything, called the hospital, I've not been referred or bugger all!! I'm really annoyed! 🙄😑 I'm just going to have to wait I get that, but really?

Anyhow @Noisinmaro sorry to hear about AF, yes enjoy your Christmas 🎄 hopefully January will be your month 🤞
@H938 how are you today?

Is anyone else at the testing point? I'm 3/4 dpo ish 🤣🤣 x

@Noisinmaro Ahh im sorry you didnt get your BFP this month…. Enjoy your Christmas drink Xx

AF arrive this am....
Learnt alot from this thread. Will see anyone In the same boat on the Jan thread...
At least I can take a drink over Xmas...for all I drink...Best of luck for all the BFP....

@LuceNumberTwo after reading a suggestion on amazon I did a test with just water to see if mine were 'duds' its been sitting beside me here an hour and absolutely zero trace of a line or indent :) Hopefully it'll be darker tomorrow and I get what I am looking for on the digital. Then I'll book a gp app to see bloods. I know what will happen will happen but I want to know if it will stick this time instead of getting my hopes too high up

@H938 I said I wouldn't track this month but I am not able to help myself 😂I before having DS it took me ages and ages to get pregnant I was missing ovulation by a lot.

@LuceNumberTwo Christmas is the best time and deffo need to enjoy it!! Including drinking 😄🥂im glad you’re not stressing and they do say the less stressed you are the easier it happens! We will keep eachother updated!

Also last month I thought i had symptoms and turns out it was nothing so not doing all that again haha! Also I feel absolutely fine now so its impossible isnt it. x

Ahh, well I'm hoping it was enough for you & it is your month also! Will be very invested in what happens with you haha!
I honestly have never had any issues what so ever with tracking but since November, early cycle etc! Everything has completely gone out of sync 🤣🤦‍♀️
I feel at peace with this month already, I just want to enjoy my wee family Christmas 🎄 ❤️
Back to work this week & I'm covering for a girl on holiday so busy busy! Which helps because I'm not being crazy testing lady.. I have 0 tests in my house, and I aint buying 🤣🤣 x

@LuceNumberTwo me too!! It will be what it will be - dont want to stress over it and I actually feel better this time round, im not expecting much. We did after both ‘peaks’ so around 25th and 30th but im very aware that if I did ovulate on 30th that wouldnt be much time to develop and implant would it. I never tracked with my other two and I actually think its more stress than its worth and makes you second guess everything x

@pontipinemum I'll show you what mines looked like around 8/9 dpo & I was actually pregnant at the time (pic attached) I always use easy @ home & never had any issues. But there's a thread on here about them being bad for evaps lately 🤔 so fingers crossed the line progresses 🤞🤞

@H938 That would be very exciting! Have you & partner still DTD just incase?
We've been having fun since I got back, it actually feels good to be a bit more at ease. I've also decided that if it doesn't happen this month (which is most likely) I'm tracking nothing next month, just see what happens, the OPKs have really confused me 🤣🤣

@pontipinemum fingers crossed for you!! Just keep testing everyday if you can and it should just get darker x

@H938 as far as I can gather (from google) 6DPO is the absolute earliest but very unlikely.

I fished out the one I did at 3DPO from the bin, (I did it the day the tests arrived because I'm OTT!) anyway it is still 100% BFN no shadows/ faint lines as so I am feeling a bit more optimistic about my lines today

@Mama09876 Its all very weird. Im not sure if im 7dpo or 2dpo 😄 I would love twins but il be lucky if I get one haha! Whats QC-10?

@pontipinemum I didnt know you could show that early- maybe its just implanting now so picking up on a little bit x

What are your thoughts ladies? The 7DPO one is well outside the time frame. But is with FMU.

So is the 6dpo,which IRL I can see a shadow on. The 7DPO (2) was done after I got back from the shops and saw the other one! It's within the time frame, but the pee was very watery. I think I can possibly see a shadow but I'm not sure.

@123456789ss @Thebeansi defo lines there ladies! Hope everything goes well!

@H938 I’m so invested now to see if you’re pregnant 😂 I did think maybe twins?

im waiting for period to arrive. I started taking Co-Q10 for a month and it’s pushed my ovulation back a few days and I’m due on today but nothing yet. I can’t be pregnant as Mr was away but just want new cycle to start now! 😂
any one else taking Co-Q10 it did the same to my cycle with my first. I only took it for a month then got pregnant so I’m hoping it happens again! And my cycles for the past 3-4 months reduced to 26 days so glad they’re slightly longer now!

hope there’s lots of BFP now we’re in Dec! 🥰

@starryx when are you planning to test? X

You basically spend your teenage years thinking that someone only has to look at you to get pregnant. Then when you want to get pregnant, you find out about it not being a huge percentage at all.

What is the actual science behind one egg and one sperm just happening to join but other months it just doesn’t happen. It’s so crazy if you think about it to much!

Hi everyone 😊 I'm into cycle 2 TTC #1. Got a positive OPK this morning on CD11 which is a bit early for me (normally around CD14). I need to try not to symptom spot so much this month so I don't drive myself crazy!

@LuceNumberTwo well I thought id do one anyway which was pointless as im either 7dpo or 2dpo and it would be too early to tell on both 😂 i will see if i can hold out to Friday. Got a busy week and busy next weekend so hopefully will fly by x

@Optimistic2021 sorry you're feeling down. There's only like a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month even if you get the timing spot on so try not to feel too bad it hasn't happened this time around xxx

Hi all,

I was on the November thread and just noticed this one. Period due Thursday, tested today and negative 😢 so confused as I fell pregnant both times (first ended in miscarriage) the first month when using ovulation sticks but this is month two and nothing. Feeling a bit deflated and worrying that it won't happen.

Any advice other than but more ovulation sticks and try again after periods? It's so frustrating this TTC business isn't it!!
