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, can I join? Due AF/BFP on the 3rd Dec after a mmc last month. So back to first month trying properly - dusted off the clear blue monitor!

Will try and catch up with everyone!

Ellisisland · 13/11/2013 10:56

Hi littlemissy good luck with this month. I dusted off the clear blue monitor as well this morning so fingers crossed!

LittleOwlie · 13/11/2013 11:30

Hi everyone,

Can I jump on the bus? I had my IUD removed this morning...Ouch!! AF started on Sunday, and I'm pretty much regular on 14 days to ovulation and around a 30 day cycle...so I think (if I'm lucky) a BFP would be due around 10th December.

TTC #1 Cycle 1

Good luck to everyone!

Karmalaa · 13/11/2013 14:40

Hi ladies, can I jump on board? Just been booted off the Nov bus by AF. TTC#1, cycle #2 since mc, BFP due 13th Dec. Maybe 13 is my lucky number.

findingme · 13/11/2013 14:51

Please can I join? Findingme ttc#2 cycle 5 bfp due 10th Dec(ish).

ohfourfoxache · 13/11/2013 15:02

Can I tentatively join you? I'll buy a ticket and everything Grin

Been off the pill for 2 years next month, think DH and I are finally beginning to get to a "good place" (after redundancy for him, change of jobs for me). Thinking of TTC #1.......

Owlie84 · 13/11/2013 15:38

Hi ladies!

I think I need to straddle two buses!! can you please add me?

Owlie84 ttc#1, cycle 7, BFP 30th Nov / 1st Dec

Hi all, Mind if I join you? Been lurking on all these threads since we started TTC a month ago.Looks like a Nov bfp is out for me (no symptoms, negative frer) so thought I'd start planning for dec.

DorotheaHomeAlone, cycle2, TTC#1, Bfp due 16 Dec.

Karmalaa · 14/11/2013 10:17

Morning ladies, I'm starting with avengance today! Back to temping (stopped after ov last cycle as it was stressing me out) and finished off the wine & birthday cake last night. AF has packed off this morning and I've added evening primrose oil to my supplements ahead of ov this month. Not sure if it will make a difference but nice to feel that I'm doing something positive towards TTC instead of getting weighed down by all the waiting.

How are you all doing? Trying anything different this month?

PunkyPod · 14/11/2013 11:24

Uuurrrggghhhh I have such a cold. Doesn't make dtd that much fun when I can't even breathe out of my nose!! Anyhow, on cycle day 11 now. Reckon ov will be this weekend or start of next week. Opks are showing a very faint line so it's not happened yet...

I hope the Nov bus joiners aren't too blue, a Christmas BFP will be so exciting!!!! Grin

Monstersaurus · 14/11/2013 13:45

Morning all, another one looking for a spot on the bus. November isn't going to be our month so I'm going to enjoy a Wine tonight to cheer myself up.

Hopefully Santa will be bringing us all BFPs. Grin

Missvaughan85 · 14/11/2013 21:26

Hi ladies, I've been debating when to hop on, stated I. The oct bus far too long!! Af finally arrived after being 2 weeks late, have no idea what was up with that one. Feel like I've spent ages away from ttc. Started with opk's this morning so her goes month 5!!! Ttc #2 cycle 5 bfp due 5th dec or there abouts, depends in what af decides to do this month. Good luck to you all this month!!! Hoping its a busy as Octobers!!! X x x

Minnieheehee · 15/11/2013 03:25

Question for those of you using clear blue fertilty monitors.... Last 2 months its shown me ovulating day 16/17 and 17/18. Here we are day 19 and still on 2 bars for the last 6 days. Is this usual? Now wondering If I'm actually going to ovulate this month :(

LemonDrizzler · 15/11/2013 13:02

Hi all. Can I jump on board? New to mumsnet but have been lurking on the November bus for all the BFP excitement!
TTC #1, cycle 4, BFP/AF due 11 December. Going to start using OPKs this month - fingers crossed! Grin

PunkyPod · 15/11/2013 13:22

Hi Lemon. Welcome aboard. Fingers and toes crossed December is your bus. I defo hope it's all of our bus :D

Anyone who already has kids ever used a mothod to try and conceive a boy or a girl? I downloaded an app which includes in it when to dtd to make a girl or a boy. In my mind i'm just making a baby and dont care what pops out but i was wondering if these methods actually work?

lucyfluff · 15/11/2013 15:33

Can I hop on board please? Just got off the November bus after a chemical pregnancy/early miscarriage and hoping to get started again straight away. No idea if af will arrive at her usual time this month but if so then my stats will be:

ImaginaryHat, ttc#1, cycle 7, bfp 22nd December.

Missvaughan85 · 15/11/2013 21:16

Hi imaginary and Lucy, I'm gutted your both here. Gutted for all the October bus girls still waiting for the bfp!!! I'm hoping this month is the lucky one for us all!!!
