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.

Yay finally a High reading at cd17 with my cbfm! We have DTD the last two days. Recommend doing it tonight or give it a rest and bd tomorrow?

Congratulations bluesky! So pleased for you!!

Thanks magrat for the new stats too!

Hi everyone. I used to board the buses a couple of years ago ( yes they've been going a ridiculously long time!). Sadly DH and I found out over a year ago that we weren't going to be able to conceive naturally and we're currently undergoing ivf cycle so moving on.

Anyway, that's all a lead in to say that I was doing a tidy up the other day and found 20 one step ovulation tests (ICs) and 11 clear blue sticks for their new monitor (from the good old days when I did a user test before it went on market). Message me if any of you could make use of them and I'll post them on. I'm now on the Elderberry thread but no takers there.

Good luck on the festive dec bus. Hope you get a great christmas present. If by any chance this ivf cycle works for me then bfp 9 dec. It's been a long 2.5 yrs! I so hope you passengers have better luck!

Good luck with your ivf cycle pixie! This is my last bus trip before we go down the 'assisted' route too. We are unexplained so I think there is always still a chance naturally.

Cycle buddy here too ninja and spark, bfp Dec 19th!

Best of luck Pixie! we'll be cheering you on!

Best of luck to you Pixie!! Hi Victoria- Keeping fingers crossed for a BFP for you! This could be your month, I really hope so! Positive vibes to you

Hi guys,

Welcome nutella and tiny

Tessiegirl have you had a peak yet? I'm still getting Highs despite being on day 7 of getting them (CD15).

Good luck pixie
Welcome nutella and tiny

CD7 and af has finally disappeared. Hooray. Now its time to see if I can stick to my resolve and take a non obsessive relaxed approach. hmmmm, we'll see!

Hi all!
I'm afraid I haven't read back at all , will later .
I've missed a few cycles after meaning to get back to it . Have just started my first 2 ww on soy.
My stats are
Nordicmom , 39, ttc #3, cycle 10/11? , BFP around 6.-8.12

Checking in. First month TTC. BFP would be due around 12th Dec. Good luck all!

Hi all, how is everyone? I'm 5dpo and trying to keep busy! Finding it really hard though. I haven't had any symptoms (not sure if you get any this early on) so keeping fingers crossed. As I'm ttc my first baby I just wondered if anyone could offer me some advice on when to test. I've read some tests work 4 days before AF is due.

welcome, clairexxx.

You will get different answers from everyone, but my two cents is - test if and when you are late. Early testing leads to much craziness, because even if you get a negative, you think, ooh, I could still be pregnant and the test might not have picked it up.

If you get a positive, you think, oh no, it's such early days, I hope it's not a chemical pregnancy, I hope AF doesn't arrive etc etc.

If you can manage it at all, just wait until AF is due/overdue. Saves much money and anxiety with tests

Dozy yes of course, I love clicking on 'charts like mine' and staring at other peoples charts!! I stopped temping after my first super super faint positive at 10dpo as I thought it was AF and wasn't going to temp on the next cycle.

Hello all - room for another one? will be taking a backseat this cycle but lurking.

will read back properly but wanted to say congratulations to bluesky and hello to kitty if you are still lurking.

sorry to see some familiar faces.

my stats are:

gennibugs ttc#1 cycle#13 bfp due 20 December.

We are trying but not trying this cycle!

Thank you Shootthemoon for the advice and it makes complete sense! I can see how easy it is to test all the time and symptom spot! I've had to come off medication while ttc so I was hoping I would fall pregnant straight away but these things don't seem to happen like that! I'm going to try very hard and only do a test if I'm late (should be 6th Dec). Sending good luck wishes to everyone on here xx

hc899 I remember my last cycle being all high and no peak. So frustrating I think it was 8 days of high.

kissing good luck I tend to fail at the keeping it cool approach every cycle.

imgoingforatwix good luck and welcome

claire amazon does some cheapo tests got pregnancy if you are worried about testing too early.

My day hasn't gone well. Curled over in pelvic cramps which I assuming are ovulation pains. This happened last time on clomid. Can't eat and tucked up in bed.

Looks like a good chart to me bluesky. Thanks for sharing. This is mine so far. Had a big temp rise this morning and room was cold so must be correct. Was expecting another positive opk today but it was negative. Last month I got three days of positive. Will have to see what the next two temps are for ff to confirm ov. Not sure whether to bother DTD tonight as I had planned because I've Prob ov'd if the temp rise is correct.
