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?

or should that be no sex-plan plan?!

JennyOfOldstones · 25/11/2013 13:19

Hi ladies, long time lurker jumping on the festive Christmas bus!! TTC #1 cycle 4 BFP due 19th December. Plan for this month is to have more sex, basically. We are a once a week type of couple so really need to step it up, the relaxed approach is obviously getting us nowhere!! Good luck everyone x

lucyfluff · 25/11/2013 13:34

Awww mama...hope you are ok?! we will miss hearing your posts Sad hope you dont stay away too long and you update us on any bfp news Smile it wont be the same poas on my own lol!!!

Ive been naughty today and brought MORE xmas lights and decs, DH may kill me later :/ hehe!!! Grin

Finnable · 25/11/2013 14:31

Hello all!
I'm totally new to this, any room for a (not so) little one on the Dec bus?
Currently no children, TTC #1, hoping for a BFP 8th Dec... Keeping everything crossed but legs! ;)

Finn. X

flymo79 · 25/11/2013 15:36

hey lucy, let's poas together and mama can check in! I bought a load of decs this weekend and have had to hide them as we're not allowed to even mention christmas till 1st dec in my house!! ha ha!
hi to finn and jenny and all on december bus, I am lurking as not sure where I belong! hopped off the nov. bus on friday but spotting has stopped. (not saying anything, trying not to be quietly excited as 2bfns on ics this weekend).

lucyfluff · 25/11/2013 17:00

Flymo! this could be implantation....have you got a frer?! if not go and buy one lol!!!!

Yes we are mega excited abt putting the decs up sunday I cant wait Smile Smile november has flown by so not long till I can poas like a mad person!!!!

BexBoo12 · 25/11/2013 17:29

Evening all! Flymo...crack open that pg test this could be it!! Eek keep us posted. X

Huge congrats to everyone that has got their bfp and sending a festive mince pie round to all waiting on the December bus.

Can I ask a daft question, can you feel implantation? Ive read you can, other places say no you can't, I'm guessing it very much depends on your body but just wondering in general, is it possible??

Mama, whilst I've been a lurker I've enjoyed reading your posts but good luck this month, and I hope you'll still drop in to show off your bfp when it happens Wink can I still poas over at your house then on Friday? Anyone testing on Friday??

Missvaughan85 · 25/11/2013 19:03

Girls I need some advice, has anyone had this?? Obviously ttc at present. We have just had a sneaky dtd. Lay down for 30mins to absorb, decided to go for a wee. When I wiped some of the cum cane out and also some very pinky/orange coloured blood, very watery. Sorry if tmi. Has anyone else experienced this?? Thank you in advance x x x

BexBoo12 · 25/11/2013 19:31

Missvaughn, I have, however, this was after I was poorly so hadn't dtd in a few weeks and so I have basically bled the teensiest bit during intercourse. But never before, and not since. Maybe your DH was just a bit rough?! Sorry, but you catch my drift. Could it be down to that? X

lucyfluff · 25/11/2013 19:44

Are you near ovulation missv?? The only time I had pink tinged after sex was then....so maybe its that.

Missvaughan85 · 25/11/2013 19:56

Dtd was not rough, ovulation according to clearblue digital (with the flashing smiles) was sat/sun that's when I had my peak, I've never had it before. It was slightly alarming to see. Thanks girls x

Missvaughan85 · 25/11/2013 19:57

It's was orangey pink which was strange, not blood red at all x

Hi everyone just a quick question - was at work today and there were some buns in the classroom which everyone was happily tucking into - I had a bite of one and was neary sick, could taste nothing but stale smoke?! Turned to a friend and told her and she said a work colleague who is a chain smoker had baked them but when I asked others they said they could taste nothing out of the ordinary and I was left with this horrendous stale ash taste in my mouth all afternoon. People asked if it was psychological but I had no idea it was the smoker who had baked them??! I know I'm probably obsessing and I have a week to wait until I can test but could a heightened sense of taste be a symptom, or could it be something else? Feel sick thinking about it even now, ughhhh

mammabear4 · 25/11/2013 20:57

Not classroom, *staffroom, duh

BeigeBuffet · 25/11/2013 21:32

I've heard that aversion to smoke is a common sign in pregnancy but I have no idea when it would begin.

ImaginaryHat · 25/11/2013 22:09

Evening all.

Mama hope you're doing ok and doing lots of nice festive things to keep you distracted from thinking about ttc!

Missv yes have occasionally had slight spots of blood after dtd before around ov, but only pinky red not orange, and just a v small amount.

Mammabear Ive no idea if that could be a symptom but amazing senses! Will be intrigued to see if it turns out to be!

Af here in full force now, looking forward to the weekend when she'll hopefully be gone!

greentealeaf · 26/11/2013 00:58

That long list of potential BFPs will hopefully be fruitful. How exciting!

Mama - I hope you're OK. FX for a positive result for you this month.

Best of luck mammabear4 - it sounds like a mighty symptom to me.

Another day of symptom spotting for me and no appearance from the witch as of yet.

Cherieblossom · 26/11/2013 07:47

Ttc #3, cycle 1, BFP due 13 dec

PunkyPod · 26/11/2013 08:26

Goodness me, tired today! DP has a cold so he was having coughing fits all night. Felt like a looooong night. I've told him to get some Lemsip today. He's one of these that complains about feeling ill but doesn't do anything about it.
So 4dpo now, have had slight upset stomach the last couple of days. Ofcourse I read that as a symptom. Time will tell...

Flymo have you POAS again?

KitKat1985 · 26/11/2013 08:28

Wow! 4 BFPs and the bus hasn't even left the depot yet! Congrats to all with their BFPs. xx Not long now until the bus can leave and we can get loads more!

As for me, still feel very 'bloated' and have done since last Monday (I haven't put on any weight, as I weighed myself yesterday) and keep getting odd twinges in my stomach. Suspect it's probably from recently coming off the pill but obviously I'm in symptom spotting mode... CD20 today. Might take another FRER on Sunday (CD25) if I still feel like this.... Hmmm.

babyspice2501 · 26/11/2013 09:14

Ah mama we will miss you!! I have my af back! Yippeee! So hopefully be testing bfp at end of dec!!

Oooh kitkat sounds exciting ;) let us know how you get on on sunday!!! Im currently taking agnus castus hopefully this will boost things abit. Would be nice to get a bfp for xmas!!!

SoMuchFruit · 26/11/2013 12:54

Its all going on in December isn't it!

Dunno what that could be MissV. Bit odd!

I am (possibly?) 2dpo. EWCM all but disappeared on Monday so think I o'd on Sunday ? Just have to struggle through the 2ww now. Determined not to symptom spot but I bet I do.

Anyone else in the 2WW now ?

spinningirl10 · 26/11/2013 13:00

Hi ladies, I'm hopping on board from the nov bus, af arrived today and although its made me a little sad I'm pleased my body is back to normal following mc last month.

I have bought plenty of mulled wine and mince pies....tuck inGrin

Really hoping we see lots of bfp for Christmas!!Grin

Spinningirl10....ttc#3 cycle 1 post mc, bfp due 24th Dec!
