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?

Hi ladies!af has arrived and I'm hoping to join the dec bus!fingers crossed for a NYE bfp!

Ttc #1 cycle 2

Good luck to everyone xx

akachan · 26/11/2013 13:03

So exciting to see all those potential BFPs lined up!

I have just got rid of AF and this is cycle 1 for me. So this weekend will be the first time in my life that I dtd without trying to stop a pg. Really odd feeling for me.

allchatnicknamesgone · 26/11/2013 14:11

I resisted boarding the Nov bus, but I'm going to just jump on this one. Reading all the posts and seem rude not to say hello. I need to keep bit of distance for sanity though!

This is me

TTC #2 cycle 7. Bfp 11th dec (although looking like I will ovulate late which is really annoying)

Wishing everyone best of luck on this bus!!!!!!

Missvaughan85 · 26/11/2013 14:47

So much, I'm about 2dpo also so in the 2ww with you, but app is saying af due 5th dec, which is about right, 28 days later, which is what I normally am, but lady two af have been 1 w late and 2 w late, so I'm hoping everything's back to normal and DH sperm has met an egg!!! Exciting times!!! When are you going to test?? X x

woodwaj · 26/11/2013 17:33

I cant believe how many people are on the bus!! We are going to need more BFPs to make room for everyone!

Doodlekitty · 26/11/2013 18:00

Can I join? TTC number 2. Dc1 just turned 1. Cycle 2.

musicalmrs · 26/11/2013 18:14

I'd like to tentatively hover around the December bus if that's ok.

TTC #2, cycle one. As I've only just come off of the pill, am bfing and it took a while to get my BFP last time, I think it's unlikely this month, but I suppose you never know..

No idea re due date. Think I ovulated last wk, but not sure when (several days of potentially ov symptoms!).

greentealeaf · 26/11/2013 18:25

Welcome to all of the new ladies :)

I feel dreadful today. Someone was chewing gum and the smell was so overpowering, as was my friend's coconut yoghurt at lunchtime. I couldn't bear it. I naturally have quite low blood pressure but have felt very light headed today and slept in by 2 hours! Boss wasn't a happy bunny! Hoping these are all good signs although I'm probably symptom spotting. I feel like I'm going a bit nuts. Is anyone else feeling the same?

lucyfluff · 26/11/2013 19:00

Hello to all the new ladies catching this festive bus Smile its getting pretty busy on here now, just want Dec to come so we can get these bfps coming in!

I have a question re cervical position coming up to ov...and its still low...is this normal? can it stay low and you still ov? Im confused and dont want to Dr Google so wise ladies please help!!!!!!!!!

BexBoo12 · 26/11/2013 19:29

Greentealeaf, I am so light headed today and have been for a few days...think I'm 10dpo, is this normal? Feel really weird Hmm but not poorly. However, my sense of smell is very high at the minute too?? Are these side effects from coming off the pill? Trying desperately not to link these to pg symptoms...

woodwaj · 26/11/2013 19:33

I think it could be either bex with just coming off the pill but hope its a good sign!!

My oh was nice enough to tell me how tired I looked today. Obviously I am over analysing why I am tired! !

Honeybear30 · 26/11/2013 19:52

Hi everyone I'd like to officially board a bus for the first time. Af arrived today but it's the first proper one since I stopped my pill so I'm not sure if I'm on cycle one or two? Any ideas ladies if the time between a withdrawal bleed and an af can be a cycle? But anyways, TTC #1, cycle 1 or 2, bfp due 25th December!!

BexBoo12 · 26/11/2013 20:13

Thanks woodwaj, clutching at straws here!! Heart cracking out the pg tests, head is cracking out the ultra dry with wings and a straight jacket!!

barmybunting · 26/11/2013 20:37

Honeybear, I counted my first cycle as the one after withdrawal bleed - so cycle 1 was inbetween withdrawal bleed and first proper AF. Provided you are ovulating, you can get pregnant then so it seemed like a cycle to me!

I think I have joined those of you in the 2ww but I'm not 100% sure! CBFM is still giving me high on CD27, it started giving me highs on CD20 I think. But EWCM has disappeared so I have no idea. I'm hoping I have ovulated by now!

Anyone due to test soon?

OP posts:
BexBoo12 · 26/11/2013 20:51

Barmy, I'm going to test Friday as I think I will be 12dpo then, I know it will be early but not sure I can wait any longer...then if it's bfn which it's liable to be either way with it being so early, I will then retest on Monday when I am 15dpo...is that sensible?

barmybunting · 26/11/2013 20:59

BexBoo, that sounds like a good plan to me! You are doing well to hold out to 12dpo I reckon. Fingers crossed for you!

OP posts:
DichotoMous · 26/11/2013 21:17

Think I might be in my first ever 2ww - don't know how to feel! Nice to have you lot to share it with though and all the mince pies and mulled wine!!! Smile

BexBoo12 · 26/11/2013 21:39

Thanks Barmy, got everything crossed but not holding out too much hope as it's only our first cycle after the pill but still...getting excited at the prospect of getting my bfp before Christmas!! Smile

newforest · 26/11/2013 22:10

Wow, busy bus! Can I hop on?

Trying for baby no. 1, cycle 2(tried in September, though not very well timed) BFP due 31st December.

Thank you and good luck all!

ImaginaryHat · 26/11/2013 22:15

Hi spinningirl, sorry af came, but as you said at least your body's getting back to normal so thats a good thing. I hope youre feeling ok and December is lucky for you. Howdy to everyone else joining too Smile

Good luck to everyone testing soon and in the 2ww, hope you're all holding up ok and it doesn't feel like time's going backwards!

ItsSoFluffyImGonnaDie · 26/11/2013 22:16

Bexboo, I had a day of lightheadedness, didn't occur to me to be a symptom at the time but now looking back Grin

I got a bfn at 12dpo, waited until 14dpo to test again as I was officially late (13 day LP for me)- if you can, hold out to day 15 but it's hard, isn't it?!

BexBoo12 · 26/11/2013 22:26

Itssofluffy...it's so hard!! I haven't tested before, and although the whole process is exactly the same as opks which I have done, I'm too excited to do my first ever pg test. Once I had ov'd I told myself 12dpo would be testing day for me, then if bfn, I will then probably test eod until either bfp or AF. Does that sound reasonable?! Hmm, so you did have light headed ness for a day or so? I've had it on and off for a few days now, but today was the worst I've had it. Physically felt sick when I shut my eyes, whole room spun followed by a huge head rush when I opened my eyes?!

BexBoo12 · 26/11/2013 22:27

Itssofluffy...did I read this correct, you got your bfp at 14dpo?
