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.

Dozy, relaxed approach is going well (so far). Have been temping for the last week though, last month I didn't and then got really excited when I was late but must have just ovulated late. Got a pre ov dip today so expecting to ov tomorrow. Hopefully DH is up to DTD again tonight!

With the stats, I would fire up my laptop (don't have a tablet) a couple of times a week and have Mumsnet and a word doc loaded and then go through the thread from the beginning (or the most recent stats list) cutting and pasting everyones stats into a list

Spinning, sounds like you're having a brilliant holiday!

Your hol sounds fab spinning! Well jel!

Overdid things on the weekend and now feel crap. Had harvester breakfast on Sat followed by a Chinese and too much wine Sat eve. Felt sorry for myself all day yesterday and now I've got a headache, drippy nose and puffy eyes. Urgh. Need to get healthy again this week!

Was meant to be training for running with my group last week but cried off with af pain. Didn't do any on weekend as self indulging and now gonna be behind the others at the group sesh Wednesday :-( might just jack it in.

I only take frolic acid and iron. Should I be taking other stuff? That's all GP said I needed.

Okay ladies roll up roll up! Forgive any omissions as it's my first time conducting all you lovely ladies on the buses! I'm snuggling in for a comfy winter seat at the front of the bus where I can keep an eye on all your stats for the festive month ahead!

Spinning that sounds absolutely glorious. Great news on the ovulating too!

I've just got my blood results back, I've posted on the Pregvember thread but I've just had it confirmed....I'm pregnant! I finally get to be excited after all of the confusion!

Congrats Bluesky!!!!!

Congrats Bluesky! Fantastic news!

Blueskygirl - I'm being very naughty logging on at work but I just had to know your results! - CONGRATULATIONS!!!

So very happy you have the outcome you so deserve. Here's to a healthy and happy 8 months to go

Kitty my lovely how are you doing?

Bluesky I'm so pleased for you. Did they put the bleeding down to just one of those things? I hope you have a lovely, uneventful and relaxing 9 months. Great news

MaGrat thanks for doing the stats

Congrats Bluesky!

Thanks for the stats MaGrat

I've been lying low over my TWW but I'm starting to get a bit frenzied! BFP due next Weds, which just happens to be my birthday. Can I hold out until then?!

sammy 29-35 days usually but on clomid this cycle. Have from painful cramps today. Shooting pains so maybe tomorrow I will get a high reading.

tessie I've had cycles that were all high and no peak. Drove me nuts. I am hoping to be high or peak in the next couple of days... I better be. Sharp pains today going to nap and hope it means I'm ovulating.

Still DTD every other day. Might go everyday if I get my peak only for a couple days

Welcome spark!

spinning hope you are having a lovely time.

Congrats bluesky!!!

Photographer Clomid didnt change my cycle at all stayed as a 28/29 day cycle. I read that you ovulate nearly exactly 7 days after the last pill.

congratulations bluesky that must be such a relief!

CD5 here. We were planning on waiting until after next AF to begin TTC, mostly for work related reasons. But now that I finally feel ready, I'm really really ready! I have this dream of a September baby (which would be next cycle) but I know the chances are ultra slim of it happening to plan. I was thinking about getting going now, so that when the first month is inevitably a neg, I can think, well, at least there's next month!

DH is away a lot at the moment but he will be home next weekend which my app shows as fertile days, and I know I generally ov around day 12.

^^ All of the above is madness by the way. DC#1 took 4 months to conceive, and I have a friend whose DC2 took 18 months and one miscarriage to conceive. And another friend who had DC2 due in late October but DC2 arrived in mid August! So basically you can control NOTHING about the process, and if we are ready, we should get going.

Argh. What do you all think?

Thank you everyone, definitely a massive relief. Yeh, they basically said that its just one of those things with the bleeding. It's so weird because it was pretty much the same as my AF so if I hadn't been going to take Soy Isoflavones again I wouldn't have bothered doing another pregnancy test and wouldn't have known until my next AF was late!

Kitty thank you so much for checking in! How are you doing? And how far along are you now?

I feel a bit late to the party! Congratulations, bluesky!

I already popped onto the November thread to say it but will say congrats again to you Bluesky!

Thanks for the info about EPO - I googled it earlier and it advises to take 500mg x 3 times a day up until ovulation. Do you think this is too much?

I may have to try the honey - I am sure someone mentioned eating toast with honey and cinnamon?

Oh, and my stats are: tessiegirl, 31, ttc#1, cycle 1, BFP due 6th December approx. - thanks MaGrat for doing to stats!

Congratulations bluesky what a roller coaster for you! Wishing you a very boring remaining 8 months.

I think im missing from the stats list...
kissinggiraffe 35, ttc #4, cycle 2, bfp due 17th Dec

Congratulations blue sky!
Just FYI - I was samc85 so slight name change.
3 dpo so nothing much going on here - ff confirmed ov as Friday thought and we dtd thurs pm before he went away so in back in the running!

Hello!

It's been a busy 24 hours - took me ages to read back! I love the buzz at the start of a bus and a huge long list of BFPs due - so much potential!

bluesky congratulations! So happy for you and you must be relieved after a few nightmare days of waiting. Hope the rest of your pg is more straightforward.

CD7. Boring. Just thinking of a cosy weekend in DTD though! Not much else to do in this weather, hah.

Thanks for the stats magrat

I've heard manuka honey is supposed to help, can't remember how. I bought loads cheap from Aldi but I went off it after about 3 days...the smell knocked me sick! Threw it all away.

Just a warning about that guaifeneisin ingredient, don't take it after ov as I think it can be damaging if you are pg.

Can't remember who was asking about Pregnacare, I didn't get on well with it at all. I'm taking Boots now, in a green box. Think it's called conception support.

Thanks frolic it's a bit boring to be back at cd1 but I'm excited for a Christmas day bfp!

As MissMrs said, lots of lovely potential BFPs just waiting for us. Good luck everyone!

Your little bean is a fighter blueskygirl

Hopefully the next time I congratulate someone with a Blue in their name, it will be you Blueberry

I'm pretty damn good to be honest. Just over 17 weeks with my Soy Baby - Kitlet has a pretty good heartbeat of 150bpm

MissMrsMummy - wishing you a BFP for Christmas, chick!

Enjoy your holiday cocktails and keep up the good shagging spinning

Raising a non-alcoholic to lots more Christmas BFPs!

Kitty I also meant to thank you. I took soy this cycle for the first time and got my BFP. All the info you shared whilst you were on the buses was so helpful, so you helped me to get this little bean in place. I can't believe you're 17 weeks already though!! I feel like I've fallen asleep and missed a couple of months! Little Kitlet sounds perfect so far!
