Planning ahead for Christmas! December bus starting far too early...

Hi All,

Anyone else around for the Dec bus yet? I think AF has managed to kick me off Nov already as she has arrived a few days early, and my cycle will probably mean she is next due at the beginning of Dec rather than Nov.

So does anyone else want to climb on board and help me hang tinsel and drink mulled wine to while away the time until that bfp in Dec?

Evening ladies, congrats dorethea!! Lovely to see a bfp!!! Well still getting flashing smiles from clear blue, no solid yet, so dtd as much as possible. Still having pains low down. We'll see what happens. Oh and got flushes have started again. Disappeared when on bc but back now. I'm wondering what that's all about aswell!!

DearDinah · 23/11/2013 00:25

Can I just ask if you still have a period if you don't actually ovulate? I feel stupid asking like its obvious but I really am clueless, I'm convinced I'm not ovulating, but I must be if I eventually have a period? Is that right?

ItsSoFluffyImGonnaDie · 23/11/2013 07:32

Morning all. Err, I seem to have a bfp on my superdrug cheapie. Wake up Mama!!! It's only a faint line, should I dig out the cb digi or wait a few days? (And yes, I piac because you told me to) Grin

Rubyshoe · 23/11/2013 07:52

Woohoo Itsso Dig out the Digi..... As far as I know a positive is a positive! Do it! V excited for you!

Rubyshoe · 23/11/2013 08:01

DearDinah I think you do still have a period if you don't ovulate. actually most women will have 1 or 2 anovulatory cycles now and again. I think temping is the way to go but I know you said you didn't have much luck last month (I know the feeling mine are all over the shop this month!) Are you getting any EWCM? This is a good sign if you are. Also with the OpKs I would definitely suggest doing more than one a day as you can easily miss the surge and convince yourself you haven't ovulated (exactly what I did month we got preggo with our angel!) the amazon cheapies are a faff but good if you want to repeat during the day. if you are really worried have you been to your GP? It's really easy to worry isn't it?

woodwaj · 23/11/2013 08:14

Congrats itssofluffy brilliant news!!

Missvaughan85 · 23/11/2013 08:31

Itssofluffy, get that digi out!!!
For more poas news, I've got my solid smile on cb opk this morning, dtd last night, so I'll make sure we cover the next week, just incase, this egg is slow at releasing, I don't want another long wait till af!!! I want a bfp!!!

Wineandchoccy · 23/11/2013 09:07

AF has gone so going to start dtd every other day although it's to cold to take your clothes off in this weather!!
I'm not going to bother with opk this month because they just got me stressed last month so just going to relax and have some fun.

Melted after eight or maltesers anyone? I left them next to the radiator whoops Grin

mammabear4 · 23/11/2013 09:10

Eek how exciting itssofluffy! Congrats!

onelifeonechance · 23/11/2013 09:18

Oooo itssofluffy, sounds v exciting!!! Have you decided when you're digi dipping?? Grin Good luck!!

Hope everyone else is well, i'm def up for melted malteasers, mmmmm nom nom

lucyfluff · 23/11/2013 09:29

Itssofluffy!!! get dipping with ur digi Smile congratulations Grin

DorotheaHomeAlone · 23/11/2013 09:54

Thanks barmy. Can't see that too many times!

fluffy, definitely piac again!

ItsSoFluffyImGonnaDie · 23/11/2013 10:00

Soo, I opened the cb box and had a little read up on its sensitivity, it's 25miu. The superdrug one is 10 and only just got a line. I've just tested with my original 20miu cheapies and although there is a line, it is really, really faint. Should I give it a day or two before using the cb?

ItsSoFluffyImGonnaDie · 23/11/2013 10:03

Dinah I agree with all that Ruby said if they helps at all.

wine I'll give the melted malteasers a home, I'm good like that Grin

HollyBen · 23/11/2013 11:03

I'll help out with the melted after eights. Still waiying on AF here so that will be just the ticket

Knottyknitter · 23/11/2013 11:22

Wow, Fluffy that's brilliant news! I'd give it till Monday and retest. Assuming the 20 unit one just changed today, you should have twice that to measure in 48 hours, and 50 will definitely come up on your digi. We do the blood test versions at 2 day intervals at work to check that it's rising properly, you can't really tell with a shorter gap.

I'm now officially trying at last, on day 2 off the pills, so feel a bit behind iyswim? Still, it's looking a very lucky bus so far, hope it carries on for those of us testing nearer Christmas and new year!

lucyfluff · 23/11/2013 11:44

Just got my apt through for a ultrasound (checking for cysts)...its not until 11th dec. I wonder if we get lucky this month they might see something then??

I purchased some iron supplements too this morning just for a boost!!! Smile

SaraRB123 · 23/11/2013 12:07

Woop welcome to the crazy would that is ttc Knotty. Will this be ttc#1?

Knottyknitter · 23/11/2013 12:22

It is #1 indeed, Sara. I've been working in gynae&EPAC all week though, so feel like I'm much further in than I am! It doesn't help the anxieties!

Missvaughan85 · 23/11/2013 12:26

Hey Lucy, why are you having an ultrasound?? I'm debating whether to go to dr.s as these pains are strange and I've never had them before. But since coming off bc I'm having all manner of things, serious hot flushes, like I'm going through the change and pains in my lower abdomen.

mama31 · 23/11/2013 12:34

Itssofluffy!!!! Eeeeeeek!!!! Massive congrats to you!!!! Well....id do the digi today obviously! How many dpo are you again??? Wowzers! Lovely news! So happy for you!!!!! :)

lucyfluff · 23/11/2013 12:36

Hey miss v, I had quite a bit of pain post mc....niggly stabby pain on one side (you prob remember me moaning about it!!!). Anyway its calmed down alot but the GP wants to scan for possible ovarian cyst?!

Is your pain still hurting? I had some pain after coming off bc when we dtd around ov time...is it the same time for you? Hot flushes may just be hormonal fluctuations getting back to normal for you Smile

mama31 · 23/11/2013 12:44

Itssofluffy!!!share all your stats please???? All the details? And what cycle is this for you? Dpo?? Tell us EVERYTHING!!!!! Lol

mama31 · 23/11/2013 13:15

Itssofluffy! I just read back....so you are 14dpo today and af would be due today.....crack open the digi already!!!!!!

Ellisisland · 23/11/2013 13:18

So I got my smiley face on the clear blue monitor this morning so in theory that would mean all systems go on DTD for the next 4 days but as my DH has come down with a really bad cold it doesn't look like we will doing much Hmm
