The December 2014 bus is here armed with mulled wine, mince pies, mistletoe and a sack-full of BFPs

[Cariad2014]

This bus is for anyone ttc hoping to get a BFP in December.

I know it's super early, but as I'm currently on a 2 month enforced break from ttc following a ruptured ectopic, December is the next bus I can catch.

Do feel free to come and join me on the journey.

Good luck dilly. Have fun getting to know your cycles (or hopefully not because you'll get your BFP straight away of course).

Pos opk, deed done. Just need to keep it up for next few days in a row and then I can rest.

Had signs of a UTI starting today even though I've not even DTD since Tuesday. It's normally triggered by that so I have no idea what triggered it this time. Anyway called into boots for some relief and picked up some balance activ conceive spray. They didn't seem to have preseed or conceive plus but I remember reading about it somewhere so figured I'd give it a try. Seemed ok to use. Should make my vag nice and hospitable anyway lol. I think I get more watery cm rather than ew as far as I can tell so this might help with that.

It's expensive ttc before you've even got your baby isn't it! I've probably spent a fortune of u add up all the things I've bought to help us along the way.

Hello everyone, not been on much as very much trying to take a back seat on the ttc front for the sake of my sanity.
On CD15, DTD and DH is snoring away now, I'm lying here needing the loo but don't want to get up yet. Kicking myself for drinking too much water this evening.

Scottish, I was actually wondering what had happened to you the other day, lovely to see you and really hope this is your month.

Dozy, I actually added up how much we've spent - far too much!!

Lucie, sorry AF arrived. I think I am feeling similar to you at the moment.

Who's going to volunteer to be conductor and do the stats then? I would step up but have done it a few times now and just don't have it in me this month. Also would be nice to give someone else a chance.

Can't believe it's nearly December!!

Hi everyone! Room for another? Just joined and hoping for a BFP in Dec! Using OPKs and started Temping.
30, TTC#1 cycle 3 BFP due 19th Dec

Hi again Trixie and welcome Sparkly.

I think af is waving goodbye and I'm on cd 4. Yay.

I've decided to be relaxed this month. I was going to use cb opks again and temp. However, I'm just going to try to dtd as much as possible and see what happens

Ff just confirmed ovulation as Friday (phew) even though temp rise was minimal! We dtd several times up to Thursday night (dh went away fri am) so were still in the running! 3dpo
Nice to 'see' you Trixie, X

Bah the pre ovulation waiting is killing me. Cd16 still no high or peak on my clearblue monitor but lots of pelvic cramps and stretchy cm (tmi). Everyday feels like a "I got to be ovulating" sort of day then the poas slaps me in the face.

Photographer is frustrating isn't it?
How long are your cycles usually? X

Morning from sunny Tenerife

Awake too early this morning and can't get back to sleep so I'm sat on the balcony watching the sunrise

Good news is that I ov'd! Ff has confirmed that this morning but temps have been a bit hit and miss so I think I ov'd a couple of days after ff thinks.

Anyway, not been too fussed about all of that, just been having lots of fun with dp. We've hired a big motorbike which is fab and something we can't do when we have ds with us. Also won at the casino last night

Sunbathing, good luck today.

Bluesky, I read about you on the Nov bus, I've got everything crossed for you that all is ok with little bean.

Photographer, hope you get your positive soon, it's sounding like you will, just keep dtd

Sammy, yay for your positive opk

Sparkly, welcome and good luck.

Hope everyone else is busy baby making and fx for a bumper crop of Christmas bfp's

spinning Glad your having fun lovely we miss you!

Sounds like fun spinning! Enjoy :) x

Morning ladies! Af finally kicked me off the November bus after arriving two days late. It would appear my cycle readjusted for the late ov. Hope there is still a space for me at the back?

Yay for ov spinning have fun!

Ooh, my new stats are:

Boosk 34, ttc#1 cycle4, bfp due 25/12/14

I'd offer to do stats but can't copy and paste from my tablet.

Sorry to see you here boosk.

That all sounds fabspinning! We have our first big frost this morning. It's so cold!!
Yay for well timed ovulation. DH and I are away this weekend and I'm hoping that my egg will come out to play as well. Well done on your casino win - fx it's a lucky month for you all round.

Morning all. Hopping on the December bus and hoping for a BFP for Christmas.

Stats ninjabeer 35 ttc#1 cycle 5 BFP due 19th December.

Cd 4 today. Dull. Gave up booze and cigs a few weeks ago and still waiting for my superpowers to kick in. So far it has just resulted in increased cake and chocolate consumption. However I'm fairly proud of myself for not going on a red wine bender when AF arrived and think it has definitely allowed me to remain a but more positive.

Here's to stockings stuffed with BFP's for us all before the year is out!

How do u do the stats trixieray? Do u do it on a computer? If no one else fancies it I'll give it a go but I only really use my phone or tablet. U can copy and paste on it though. (Nice to see u still around, hope the relaxed approach is helping).

spinning glad you're having a good time.

Morning!
So I'm in my wtf cycle after MMC. I'm driving myself crazy with symptoms spotting. I'm having vivid dreams, restless legs, extra wind & extra tired - all symptoms of previous pregnancies but could be symptoms of just haywire hormones after MC.
I could have ovulated up to 12 days ago, although I have a feeling it was 4ish days ago. I could have not ovulated! Would you start testing or is it going to drive me to insanity?

My stats are:

BeauticianNotMagician81 ttc #4, cycle 2, BFP due 25/12/14

oooh first proper frost here this morning. School run was bloody freezing. bbbrrrrrrrr.
Have to keep warm with lots of dtd!

4 days to consultant. Feeling a bit low about it all today

Morning ladies!

Sorry to all those where AF has shown her face...

Welcome to Sparkly

Sorry to hear you are feeling low Pikz

Spinning sounds like you are having a fab time away!

Photographer I am feeling exactly the same, I am CD14 and got yet another high fertility smiley on the 7th day running this morning. I keep getting cramps and have watery cm and think I must be ovulating but I am feeling so disappointed everytime I poas and get a negative. This time last cycle I ovulated today but I have a feeling it will be delayed further. Now I am wondering if taking Pregnacare has had an effect on my cycle....?? Plus DH is going away tomorrow until Friday so have a feeling we may miss our chance this month...

Frolic sounds like you are very well stocked in the supplements department!! Can I ask how often do you take EPO? Is it EPO that you are only supposed to take before ovulation? Also, what is the guav ingredient in cough medicine to look for?

Does anyone know how honey is supposed to help? What type is best?

Hi again everyone!

Cycle day 3 for me at the mo.
Is anyone using at home artificiL insemination or do you know if there is a thread for this? Thanks and hope everyone is feeling positive today!

Oh and tessiegirl- I haven't heard of honey helping? This sounds interesting! Sorry can't help

Hi tessie. I am rattling today! May have overdone it a bit!
I have always taken epo to help with sore boobs before AF. Now I'm taling 2000mg up to ovulation.
The medicine is Guaifanesin. I found some in a wilko's own brand thing. It is is robitussin cough medicine but I couldn't find any of that. It's pretty grim and DH thinks I've lost the plot, but I don't get much ewcm so am willing to try!

I think it's manuka honey, but I have no idea why it's supposed to help.

I'm off to work now, have a great day ladies.

Tessie Im also taking 200mg epo up to ovulation its definately helped me, especially with the clomid (tmi) drying me up
