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 missv, yes its always disappointing to have to move onto the next bus. In fact I refuse to get on the January one so I'm just gonna have to get a December bfp Grin. How are you doing? Af still with you or have you managed to get going again? Really hope it's your month. Also hi Lucy, hope af isn't being to much of a biatch now she's finally arrived.

Missvaughan85 · 15/11/2013 22:16

Well imaginary, after a fretful 2 ww for af to arrive it has come and gone, haven't dtd much just yet. Too tired!!! Cb opk has not given any indication just yet so not too worried, af only been gone 2 days. If period continues to be late then I'm going back to the doctor!!! I'm hoping for a bfp for a break from work!!! Stress levels are through the roof lately which doesn't help ttc!!! How are you?? Are you just getting started again?? X x

ImaginaryHat · 15/11/2013 22:47

Yes that was a v long cycle for you, if it happens again I'd def get back to the doc if I was you. Hopefully you'll get a bfp so af won't turn up at all though! Sorry work is stressing you out, that sucks on top of the stress of ttc.

No Ive just had my second set of blood results back which confirmed mc so waiting to see which arrives first, ovulation or af. Just wanna get straight back into ttc so will be back on the ic opks as soon as possible!

Newlywed2013 · 16/11/2013 03:13

Hi, can I join the dec bus!
I found it annoying on he October bus being one of the last to test! I am kinda straddling the nov/dec bus! I had implant out 24th sept followed quite closely with AF I got a bfp on 31st October confirmed with digital on 1st nov but the started spotting that same day and passed clots etc the following few days! I am expecting AF end of nov /1st dec! This is my second cycle of ttc our first child!

Good luck everyone!

lucyfluff · 16/11/2013 10:10

Hi missv...feels like I havnt spoken to you in ages!! Lets hope your AF is back to normal this month Smile

Imaginary...hope your feeling ok, at least its all been confirmed now and you WILL get that sticky bean very soon Smile I know how crap it feels but stay positive lovely.

My AF is being a proper bitch Angry I did read it can be like that post mc....oh joy!!! Just going shopping for treats this weekend and mega sanitary towels lol!!! Roll on dtd next week Grin

Glad you're out from under the blanket and raring to go, hopfully we will all have some festive luck, and the best early Christmas present ever in our bfps!

ImNotAFlower · 16/11/2013 10:50

onelifeonechance · 16/11/2013 11:27

Imaginary - I think you and Lucy are superstars, big hugs to both and yes lots of festive cheer&goodwill to all ttcers on this bus!!!! Hmmmm....where shall we hang the tinsel?? Grin

lucyfluff · 16/11/2013 11:40

Yay onelife Grin good to see you here!! back to ttc but in this lovely seasonal month!! lots of snuggles by the open fire (ha I wish I had one of them )....seriously good luck for this month!

Yeah keep an eye out for ovulation imaginary, I deffo think I did but later in my cycle as had sore nips again and if yours happens later it may help to date your preg Grin

Hi to all the other new ladies...look forward to some funny threads and hand holding together Grin

onelifeonechance · 16/11/2013 11:50

But you do have a big open fire Lucy in your big mansion house that Mama&i know you live in Wink

ImaginaryHat · 16/11/2013 12:22

Well if af turns up when she usually would this month I am due on in 8 days so will just opk and see what happens (smile)

Ive not actually been to any of mamas infamous parties yet (stupid work getting in the way of mn lol) but I imagine the house to be full on luxury, with open fires, and millions of bathrooms for poas of course!

I cannot wait to start hanging the tinsel onelife! I suppose its a bit early but I do love it!

Hope everyone who's starting the fun part of the month are managing to get lots of dtd done, let's make the December bus super successful! Good luck all!

lucyfluff · 16/11/2013 12:29

Oops forgot about that one...our little secret onelife Wink

SaraRB123 · 16/11/2013 18:35

Evening everyone...can I hop on the bus? I've been lurking on the October and November bus but it seems things are about to start moving (fx) ttc#1 cycle 1 bfp due early December (will let you know the date when I have a more definite answer!)
Hope you don't mind me joining? I see some familiar faces from the November bus which is not great news for you but reassures me I'm not going through this alone Grin x

Missvaughan85 · 16/11/2013 19:55

Oh Lucy, oct bus was a long bus wasn't it!! Felt like the longest 6 weeks of my life!!! Dtd every day bar one over a 2 week period whilst away on holiday, once more when we came back and then nothing!!! I do feel that it is the luck if the draw as we've seen with some bfp's. Started off the November dtd with a random morning session. I say session. Was rather random and quick before work. I'm not a morning dtd person: I'm grumpy as hell usually. But out a spring in my step!!

When are you starting opk's??

One life nice to see you back!!! We thought you'd give MIA.
How are you feeling this cycle??

Fx for bfp's this month!!! I'm still hoping for part of the summer holidays off!! So this month is the last chance or that to happen. But a bfp any month would be great!!!

onelifeonechance · 16/11/2013 22:12

Hey MissV Smile Sorry you're all here but I must say its nice to have all you lovely ladies on board to chat to! Was v sad for a few days and can't believe i've hit the 6 month mark, but i've dusted myself off and i'm back in the game! Grin Just waiting for af to bugger off now!! Well done for morning session, sometimes its the only way we can do it as otherwise we're too exhausted at the end of the day, must say a morning sess does make me smirk all day Smile

kirstyd1 · 16/11/2013 22:38

Hi can i join please, was booted off the November bus a while just slow in realising the December bus had turned up!!!!
I'm ttc#2 cycle 4 after a miscarriage at 11 weeks in July so feels like ive been ttc most of this year, bfp due 6th dec fingers crossed??

cottonwool4brains · 17/11/2013 00:21

Hello, can I join?

Cottonwool4brains ttc#2, cycle 9 (chem cycles 4 and 7) Bfp due 12-15th Dec (your guess is as good as mine!)

Had enough of this now!

Newlywed2013 · 17/11/2013 01:30

Onto the tww now! Heard some conflicting things like being more fertile after mc but also heard the opposite! Don't know what to think! Arghhhhh

kirstyd1 · 17/11/2013 04:52

I was told u are more fertile after an mc but here I am still trying since July!!!! Had convinced myself i would be pregnant by now

lucyfluff · 17/11/2013 07:59

Lol missv, I do love morning sex all cosy and warm but its very rare in our house Wink infact the last time was probably the morning after our wedding in March lol!!!

Your right though it is such luck getting pregnant, and then having a healthy pregnancy its hard work!! My plan is eod again, I dont use opks so will just do this until day 20ish....hopefully Smile

Wineandchoccy · 17/11/2013 09:44

Hi all is there room for a small grumpy one! AF arrived so had to get off November bus a stop early Sad

Not sure when Dec AF is due as this one was 13 days late. Confused
Wineandchoocy ttc #1, cycle #5, bfp December ??

Does anyone know if I can have a smear test when ttc? Letter arrived yesterday and not sure if I should book. What happens if I was pregnant but didn't know? I might try and get an appointment for as soon as AF as finished.

Now I'm going to have chocolate spread on toast because I feel like crap!

PunkyPod · 17/11/2013 09:47

Would love a bit of morning dtd. But sleep is precious and our dd has recently reset her internal alarm clock to before 7am. This morning she pulled 5:40am out the bag. Urgh...! I'm hoping for an imminent positive opk. Any day now...

PunkyPod · 17/11/2013 09:49

Wine, a smear test when TTC is fine. I had it this week on CD10 and didn't dtd the night before. So made sure the app was before expected ovulation and after bleeding had stopped.
