Might be a bit early but..... Jump on the December bus! Thread for those that (if we crack it!) will have a Christmas Baby due date!!!!

[Oceynorm]

Hi people,

Join if your planning on reciving a BFP just in time to give yourself and everyone of your family the best christmas present ever!!!

We've just started TTC and just missed last months CD so we're hoping for a Christmas baby now :)

Good luck people!

Thinking Good for you. So many woman have a baby in a bad relationship just for a child. I really respect your decision too

seven Lets hope you have a BFP by june then. I would hate to miss out on the prawns for no good reason, and the cheese board come to think of it (although I would just have the cheese board tbh)

Good morning ladies, well I think that all of the lovely congratulations were premature I am afraid. This morning with same FMU the same faint line on Clearblue (a bit thicker this morning or could be wishful thinking) and a stark white BBBBFN on the First Response. Can't be a chemical pregnancy. Can't be an evap.

I am starting to think I have fallen victim to Clearblue's dreaded "false positive". I used to think think that this could never happen (after all this is what everyone says - a line is a line right?) but according to my internet searching about this, the dye from the horizontal control strip in the oval window can leak into the vertical antibody strip (where the positive result would be shown) leaving a thin blue line where the positive result should be, and well within the time as well. This morning the line was there within a minute.

Feeling rather and at Clearblue for selling a product with so obvious a flaw.

Clinging on to the hope that FR is just being slow at picking up my HCG but as I got a BFP with DS on a First Response at 10 DPO I think it is unlikely . I have some more very sensitive IC arriving this morning so we'll see what they have to say. Not optimistic.

TBH just want AF to show up so I can start this whole thing again (or an obvious BFP obviously )

So sorry for whiny post all about me.

seven totally with you, Thinking you are very brave and you have my respect. I think what you are doing is wonderful and I would hope that I would have the guts to do the same if I were in your position. Having my DS has been wonderful (in fact words cannot describe just how wonderful...best thing I have ever done times a zillion ) and I really hope that you are successful so that you can feel that too

P xx

I'm not sure poppy I do know more people who have had early results on CBD than first response though. Perhaps all hope is not yet lost? Fingers crossed.

thinking that totally sounds like enough insemination to me. Good luck.

Do I still have the dubious honour of being longest TTCer on this bus?

Just starting SWI- have longish cycles, am on day 16 now. I use daily cheapo ov sticks from Amazon, and they've been great. Picked up a high last month, and getting there this month. I temped the last 2 months, but found it quite consuming, so haven't bothered this month. It was quite encouraging to know that I was actually ovulating, so wasn't a total waste of time!

Good morning ladies! Had a wave of nausea earlier, trying not to look too much into it! AF due on 20th....should I test in the morning?! Help! X

Poppy you're right, it seems ridiculous that CB would sell a product with such a fundamental flaw. Hoepfully the FR test wasn't quite sensitive enough and you'll get a BFP on your new tests!

Hello, knew to all this. TTC #2, DD is 13 months old. Fingers crossed for everyone. Due on in 5 days and already have period pain:-((((((.

poppy oh no! If AF does arrive make sure you contact clearblue, it's completely unacceptable! Fx for you.

sassymk I'd try waiting a big longer otherwise spidookly will tell you off

Doh!

Isn't Daiso due AF tomorrow? Could soon have another BFP!

XNickyPX could be implantation cramps....Fx for you

Feeling slightly more positive now than when I wrote that pessimistic morning post . The line on my clearblue today was the same thickness as the control line, faint but visible so I am hoping that tomorrow it will be more obvious! From what I have read the problems are with very thin lines (like yesterday's) but as I say today's is thick. [confused ] We'll see. Hope that ic will show something to make me feel better! I have a FR left and will use that in a couple of days I think.

It's ridiculous really, if I hadn't scared myself by doing so much googling I would be now instead of and

seven I will definitely be shouting at Clearblue if AF arrives!

Tanif

Thanks seven :). Think I'll try hold out. Luckily I have no tests at home so that will help lolx

Sassymk no testing until AF is officially late. Otherwise you risk upsetting Spidookly... I haven't seen her angry yet, but her stern face is enough to scare me and she has bar charts and everything!

Poppy I'm sure you're pg, two tests, two lines, one thicker than the day before? Just a matter of time before the FR tests confirm it :D

Thanks Tanif hope so!

Sassymk my AF was supposedly due yesterday and I am still getting weird slightly inconclusive results so if you can I would wait ( I am such a hypocrite I have been testing every day for the past week ...and will continue to do so...)

Welcome Boogies and XNickyPX
I really respect your decision too Thinking and def consider you a proper passenger of this bus and very rave.
Poppyjen I thnk you are pregnant and shouldnt be worrying. Why are you so dubious? Is it just down to goggle?
Sassymk I suppose you better wait so not to incur the wrath of Spidookly (sorry spidookly you seem to be getting mentioned a lot) but I know its really difficult. I am so impatient. I now on the 1ww, I must not test early, I must not test early, I must not test early. If I keep saying it I maybe able to hold out

That should of been Brave not rave

Just had the most gorgeous snuggly newborn thrust into my arms by a client while she sorted out some documents for me. Mmmm, that new baby smell!

PMSL @ wrath of spidookly :o

Seriously, WHAT is the new baby smell people talk about all the time? I've never noticed them having any smell particularly

[not a real woman emoticon]

Sassy - I wouldn't read too much into waves of nausea.

Was nausea your first symptom with No.1? It was for me and so now if there's a chance I'm pregnant and I feel a wave of nausea I think "woo hoo!", but I've been wrong a few times. Well pretty much every time actually :o I think passing waves of nausea are actually pretty common and under normal circumstances we don't even notice them.

Hopefully you'll still be feeling shite by next week :o

"Hopefully you'll still be feeling shite by next week" Hahahaha isn't it bizarre that we actually wish this on each other?!

Spidookly HOW have you never noticed new baby smell? It's like an explosion in a Johnson & Johnson factory coupled with 'new clothes' smell.

I know - it is so funny that we all want to feel terrible! When I was ill at the weekend I kept wondering if (mixed in with a bad dose of the cold) there were any pregnancy symptoms at all - I'm an idiot! But a desperately hopeful one!

Agreed that a good tactic to avoid taking a test to early is just not to buy them! Although I admit that, this being my first month, I may not be so calm if I'm still TTC in a few months!

DH have had no SWI for over a week due to illness/tiredness - I feel I may have missed my window and may also be turning into a rather horrible person by making him feel bad about it. Planning to make it more fun tonight - and ensure he can't say no! Does anyone have any advice on how to find the balance?

4 dpo and nothing to mention :(

My DD was a very sicky baby.. someone came over to look at her nd sniffed her waiting for that lovely baby smell, only to smell a nasty cheese odour

poppy I place my bet that you are pregnant!

We started trying this month but think we may have been just a bit late trying so I think I will get ready for December bus. I am a bit nervous about trying for Dec as if period is on time, due date would be around 22nd Dec so there is a high chance of having dec 25th baby. However, I don't want to wait another month as my husband is so keen to have number 3 and I don't want him changing his mind!!! We have 2 already, have got rid of all the baby stuff but still can't stop wanting another. There will be a nearly 5 year gap if we conceived now between the baby and my youngest and 7 year gap with oldest. Anyone else going to have this kind of gap? Best of luck to you all - very exciting times ahead! x

2babyblues there's actually a bigger age gap between me and my youngest brother (18 years) than there is between me and my mam (16 years). I'm sure the gap for yours won't be a problem!

Micky hahaha nothing quite like a sudden whiff of parmesan to make them take a step back!

Thanks Tanif - I had to think about that for a minute!! x
