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
I'm about 13 dpo today, i ovulated about cd11 completely caught me off guard so didn't think i stood a chance this month.
this is cycle four after a miscarriage at eleven weeks in July, so feels like I've been trying for ages. Was just thinking that i would go and see the gp after Xmas as i was started to get paranoid the d and c had messed my body up,
good luck to everyone else lets have some nice Xmas pressies xxx

Lucy because this is only cycle 1 after being on the pill for a lifetime, I just going off the text book 14 days post ov that AF would be due - which would be today. As I'm typing this I now realise that the cramping has also stopped. Tomorrow I will be officially late, so maybe I should test tomorrow? Having said that, there is no 'officially' late I guess, because although I'm using text book figures, there's nothing to say I would be text book is there? Hmm, what to do. Ps nipples are very sore and itchy, is that an AF symptom or just coincidence? Don't ever remember having that with af's before going on the pill...

Newlywed2013 · 30/11/2013 15:14

I'm off but still on! But if I could be moved to 30th dec! It's got me with a vengeance today! Busiest day of the year at work today!

lucyfluff · 30/11/2013 16:55

Yeah I guess its difficult not knowing as first cycle, I would probably assume the same as you and test tmrw theres no harm Wink but I do love to poas lol!!!! If its bfn dont worry too much, as many have said it can take a while to return to normal.

I had sore nips last pregnancy with DS3...cant remember if the others did it was a while ago!! its funny as my bc totally stopped ov and AF symptoms so it just shows how your body changes through the month!!

If you test tmrw good luck Grin

woodwaj · 30/11/2013 17:09

Congrats kirsty!! Was there a particular reason you decided to test early? My AF is due the same day yours should be

BexBoo12 · 30/11/2013 17:09

Thanks hun will let you know. I'm not holding out much hope for that exact reason - just coming off the pill, my body is more than likely completely buggered up!!! So I'm completely expecting a few months wait til I get my normal cycle...but it still doesn't stop me secretly crossing my fingers Wink I guess I will see how I feel in the morning...I may wake up and have my answer in the form of full AF Smile we will see. I will keep you posted! X

kirstyd1 · 30/11/2013 18:04

Just tested so early cause i knew i had ovulated early, and not very patient xxx
good luck

BexBoo12 · 30/11/2013 18:44

Mammabear (or any ovuline app users!) when you first started using it...ok, I'm not going to explain myself very well but here goes...it is showing us as cycle day x - is that because I'm only spotting and not full flow, and cycle only starts from full flow? So for example, if AF pulls her socks up and arrives properly tomorrow and I select full flow, will it then begin at cycle day 1? Or have I done something wrong...thank you in advance Smile

Lime19 · 30/11/2013 19:56

Hi ladies. Think I'm going to be out this month. Boo! Cd29, been cramping and spotting for last few days. A teeny amount of pink cm really. Woke up with an "af headache" today but still no sign of her. Really hope this is not a pcos thing. I've never had spotting/early cramping until last month. I just want af to come now, so I can get on with trying again. On to cycle 4. Rubbish.

BexBoo12 · 30/11/2013 20:24

Ouchy, stabbing pain on right side of pelvis Hmm what is my silly body doing. Hurry up AF!!

Gingerpanther27 · 30/11/2013 21:44

Bought OH a men's guide to pregnancy for Xmas hopefully can put a bfp in his stocking to go with.

Gingerpanther27 · 30/11/2013 21:45

Congrats kirsty

PunkyPod · 01/12/2013 08:36

It's 1st December!! I think this bus has pulled out of the depo and is well on it's journey. Chug chug chug.

woodwaj · 01/12/2013 08:50

broodysnoopstie · 01/12/2013 09:36

Good morning I'm hopping on from Nov bus because it is now December! I'm 5 days late 21dpo cd 38 (cycles are 30-33 last month was longest at 35)

Having had 4 bfn.. I'm just waiting for AF to show her ugly face and then I'll be on to next cycle.

everyone opened their first door on the advent calender?

lucyfluff · 01/12/2013 10:04

Morning and happy December ladies Smile lets hope this is lucky for us all.

Wineandchoccy · 01/12/2013 10:19

Good Morning all! The Journey has officially started let's all hope for BFP stops and not AF stops.

We are delivering Christmas cards this afternoon and having Sunday roast in a country pub then going to snuggle in front of the fire, perfect Sunday Smile

mssleepyhead · 01/12/2013 10:30

Hooray for December! Thought I'd pass by the buss and have a chat to those on board : ) This round (#2) is driving me a little crazy. Got my first flashing smiley on my CB digi test thingy last Sunday, but 8 tests later still no solid one. I'm now on CD15 and my cycles are between 26 and 28 days so I'm starting to get worried it's going to come too late - only 12 days now till AF is due again. Still no real signs of OV coming either, no EWCM. Sigh. BUT! will have another go in December, between Christmas and New year hopefully when I should be nice and relaxed and we should have lots of time or lazing in bed, so kind of have my eye on that slot already...

Finnable · 01/12/2013 11:52

Happy December everyone!
Now if only this cold would feck off so I can DTD sans-Vaporub. Sexy. Good luck for BFP's all round - and if not, a season of goodwill and mulled wine.

'Tis the season to be upduffed, fa la la la la, la la la laaaaaaaa!
