New December bus....Wishing you all a happy christmas surprise!

Old thread here:www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1929451-BFPs-popping-out-from-Christmas-crackers-and-stockings-The-December-bus-is-lining-up-to-find-bfps-under-that-tree?

Does anyone know if there is a way that I can work out when af is due? Last month was a long cycle as just off the pill. And this month I ov'd on cd 10/11.
Does that mean my cycles will be fairly short?

Im now 6/7dpo so might leave it till this weekend before testing again... anyone any advice?

Frers arrived in the post today... yey!

Actually just used my app to work out that af is due on 31st dec. Surely that means I can start testing from the 28th... haha

obsessed!

Toots, this is what I understand from reading Toni Weschler's book. Girls that are more learned amongst us, please do correct me if I am wrong as I am a newbie...

The time between ovulation and AF is generally consistent every month. I think this is called the lutenising phase or something like that. Its normally between 12 & 16 days I think (though it is different for everyone & can be less, which can apparently cause problems if its less than 10 day).

Its the actual ovulation point that changes, which can be moved around by any number of factors from health to other upsets or jsut your natural body. This is what impacts the overall length of cycle.

I have no idea how coming off the pill impacts all this as I was on a coil. That is, the pill isnt really you're natural period, so I am not even sure if you can use this as an indication of time between ov & af.

In short, I don't have an answer. Perhaps someone who's come off the pill can give some advice on this.

I tested today twice lol! (BFN) bought a FRER out of desperation, will test tomorrow & Xmas day, I'm positive this is my month, I feel...weird. Still dizzy when I stand up, twinges in my side, really emosh, squirts (sorry tmi!) & tired! I keep thinking it must be something else...but keeping everything crossed! Keep going ladies BFP's on the horizon, I really need this, MIL is very sick, to know she's got a grandchild coming would just make Christmas for us all (plesepleaseplease)

Thanks kmini that helps knowing the day of ov can move around! I know the best advice is to wait and see but im clearly a bit mad haha

Sounds good deardinah! Fx for you xx

Thanks toots, I came off the pill in May, my cycles are really irregular, I got a positive opk this time though so I'm just counting on 2 weeks from that day

Must be so tough with irregular periods. Mine have always been super on time until last month which was my first months of ttc. Of course it was suddenly 3 days early! Drove me nuts, so a small insight on to what the rest of you girls go through!

FX for you DearDinah, I've just bought a Frer, so that's one Frer, two CB digis, two Tesco and a bunch of ICs. Oh yes, I'm ready for the party!

Thank you everyone for being supportive. I was sad this morning. Had convinced myself I was pg with all the symptoms I've been having but I guess they're all also symptoms of AF and even side effects from coming off the pill!! So who knows hey. I'm still in the Christmas Eve poas club though, who's with me?? Xx

Meeeee!!

I doubt I'll get a BFP before Fri/Sat even if I am upduffed.. If I am honest despite my earlier imaginary symptoms I just don't feel pregnant. But I am definitely be at the Xmas eve party!!

Tempted to POAS now but know I am being crazy so will wait until the party!

Woop!! Can't wait!! See you there!!! Sticks at the ready xx

Last stick at the ready af seems to have buggered off roll on morning. Most likely is my body is playing tricks on me though. but bfp would be nice :) fx for everyone

Hi - AF due on Christmas Day - took a digi CB this morning because I felt sick - it was negative. Did an FRER this eve and had v faint (but visible to both me and husband) line. Don't know whether to count it or not.
Did another not long after (am super impatient) and it had another line but was fainter....worried that they could be evap lines although both appeared within 10 mins and first one was definitely within 3 minutes.

Eeek

How do you add pics onto this?

Hi Ladies!!
FX cbmb12! Sounds very positive to me!!
Good to see so many BFP!!!
As we have not managed to dtd much this month i am not hopeful at all! I am due to test on 30th Dec, so until then I am going to enjoy xmas have a few glasses of wine and have a good time and not think about it! Last time I was late it didnt show on a test until a week after i was due on! I have a NYE party to go to so im not too sure what I am going to do about that!

Yet again I am awake ridiculously early which kept happening when pregnant before although it is probably just that I am stressed. I will therefore PIAC to keep my fmu until the party starts.

Morning everyone, I too am awake ridiculously early. I'm off to piac in a mo but just catching up from bed. I'll be kicking off the party early as we are heading over to the hospital for 7am for DPs op today.

So fx on both counts. Will be back with an update on the poas soon. Cracking open the frer that I picked up last night. Eeep!

Fx boosk. Hope all goes fab on both counts!

Looks like I arrived too early, drank all the punch and got sent home in a taxi. That's a bfn ladies.

FX for the rest of the poas party animals today. Will be checking up on you all later.

No sign of the witch yet, so I'll be partying again tomorrow.

Thanks kmini when are you testing?

BFN. I'll be joining your party tomorrow Boosk. Hope everything goes well for your DH today.

Anyone else testing??

Have piac. Need to dip, feel nervous it's going to be bfn. Sorry sleeping and Boosk you got bfn....

Morning girls!! Bfn for me too here's girls, have a mulled wine.

Are we partying tomorrow morning too?? X

Sazzle have you dipped?? Dip dip dip xx

Dipped. Waiting.......

BFN.
On a frer...I'm out - i know it's not over til AF arrives, but I'm regular as hell as af due tomorrow morning so chances are pretty slim...and I should know after 13 cycles.
Rant over. Urh, so cruel but at least i know now in time for xmas day and can enjoy myself and eat yummy things and drink lots of fizz....

FX crossed someone gets a bfp very soon - be nice for some xmas cheer!
