Jump on the Polar Express to August / early September 2012

[Whysoserious]

TOOT TOOOOOOOT!!

All aboard the very festive Polar Express to Ausgust / early September. Come aboard for some mulled wine, Christmas cheer and lots of festive fun to get us all relaxed and up the duff by the end of 2011.

I shall be your conductor aka Tom whysoserious Hanks so tickets please! Dress code is snuggle PJs or Christmas jumpers.

As well as lots of TTC support we can share in Christmas fun, gift and decoration ideas. We need to be good though to Saint nick brings us our BFPs!

Who's with me?

Slobby, not slob by!

They are all boys! She already has 3 other kids! Thought she would have 1 more and ended up with another 3!

I tend to say we'll have to see what the stork brings (if only it were that easy )
tbh, nearly all of my friends have babies or are pregnant at the moment and are fairly grown up about not putting people on the spot, and I suspect they all presume that we are trying too.

Triplets! Agree with the ovary instructions VVV!

Wow! Wonderful! Would love a big family.

you mean it's not really the stork?

Can I please join in (and secretly hope for not-triplets?)

Winkly (30) TTC#1 cycle 1, AF due 3rd Dec

Freaking myself out these last few days with probably imaginary symptom spotting! Tasting the beetroot extract in one drop of food colouring added to icing, not wanting wine with Sunday lunch, nearly throwing up at the smell of air freshener, sore lower back and cramping a few days ago..... I'll be so disappointed when my period comes! Secretly hoping I'm as super-fertile as my sister, who conceived son 1 on cycle 1 and son 2 on cycle 3 - brain knows I'm not but heart wishes....

Hello can I come aboard please

I am on cycle 2 but not really sure when AF is next due I normally have a 32/33 day cycle but this month was only 29 days not sure if that is something to do with it being my first month coming off the pill.

Cherrypiew3 (30) TTC#4 cycle 2 Af due 12th Dec

Welcome, Cherrypie and Winkly! Still a few seats left...

Morning all. AF is still with me and I can't wait for her to depart for the month and for the SWI-athon to begin!

Would be the best Christmas present to ourselves, getting that positive pregnancy result. Here's hoping. I have been very good all year!

Eliza, you have seriously scared me with your 108 days. If AF has still not come this time next week, I'll test again but 3 tests last week were BFNs.

I've seen people with triplets - it looks terrifying! I'm hoping we all get BFPs in our christmas stockings this year!

Sorry to scare you, it was supposed to reassure you as in it can't be as bad as mine

Me too gnomi !! I can't think of a better Christmas pressie !!!

Ooh don't know about triplets but I would loooove twins !!!

Hi everyone! Only two days til we can start being full on christamassy! Excited!!

I'm on cycle day one today - full flow has arrived after 4 days of spotting. Rather worried about the whole spotting thing and have been asking people on the pregnancy board about it and have been reassured that people on there used to get it and they've managed to get pregnant. :)

Am going to be healthier this month though (well apart from parties and Christmas day) but really going to pay attention to my diet and get plenty of fruit and veg and get my ass down the gym. I've put on about a stone this year and I need to start losing it

How amazing would it be for us all to get BFPs. IMagine a Christmas miracle of a whole thread of BFPs :o

Whysoserious I'm with you on the stone, got really thin at the start of the year and then packed it all back on again. I blame work for their ridiculously cheap, and very yummy afternoon cake offers!

I was feeling quite excited for Christmas, never usually am. Then I went into town on Saturday nearly killed several people and now I'm out of the Christmas spirit. Not started shopping, debating not sending cards to anyone not related to me, generally being a bit of a misery guts this year.

Chooo choooo! Room for a not so little one? Got my jammies on and I come bearing homemade cinnamon swirls

I am 32 and TTC baba number one. I was pregnant and due in May, but had a miscarriage in October at 11 weeks.

(sorry to hear you had MC too Teapig hopefully we are luckier this time around!)

DP and I agreed we would wait til the new year before TTC again, but he knows I was not going to start taking the pill again and he's not bothered with an alternative so I think he's leaving it to see if nature intervenes this month

I was secretly hopefully that I would be pg again straight away, but then when I wasn't, I was glad to see AF arrive bang on CD 34. I'm hoping this is a good sign that I have returned to "normal"; I had come off the pill, had withdrawal bleed, then one proper cycle at 34 days, then got pg the next cycle.

So, fingers crossed for a wonderful Christmas presen of BFPt, instead of AF on Christmas eve!

Morning all, room for one more? Im 34 and ttc #2 cycle 2 AF due 23/12. Please add me to the passenger list with you all. I promise to bring Christmas buffet goodies, sausage rolls a speciality.

So I've just finished an exam, and am waiting for the others to come out.

I'm afraid to go to the pub in case my phantom symptoms aren't phantom, but if AF comes on Saturday as expected and I miss the party I'll be very cross. What to do?

Can I join. Ttc #2, cycle 2. Ds was an accident so never really done this ttc lark.

So far I have an app that tracks cycle (about 30 days). But no real idea when I ov. Don't really wanna go down the sticks and temping just yet.

Although I though I should ov today or tomorrow but I have white discharge- is that right? Is that tmi for this thread!?

Hello, and welcome, new boardees!

practicallyimperfect, what is this cycle tracking app? Is it any good? I just use tools like this ovulation calculator and it tells you what should be your most fertile days. Does the app offer anything else? I don't want to do sticks or all that stuff yet either, going to give it a few months just swi, though I am having reflexology as well (if it doesn't work, it's still a nice foot massage!). We are swi either side of the fertile window too, just in case! Didn't bother with any of the calculating dates and stuff when ttc with DS, it just happened.

Sort of. Basically you track your periods and it estimates your fertile days and ovulation. The more periods you put in, the more accurate it is I suppose.

Right- Ladies, my plan of action.

Take Folic Acid.
Shag every second day.
Limit coffee.
Eat veg.
Shag every second day.
Did I say shag every second day?

Any other ideas to get my BFP this month?
