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

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.

Hi all!
I wonder is anyone can shed any light on my bbt this morning? I was expecting a possible rise as on second day of peak on CB ov this morning but instead temp has dipped even lower to 35.40!! That is a really low reading isn't it???!!! Confused

tessiegirl · 27/11/2014 12:20

Dizzy I also use the cheap opk's off Amazon...I think they are called One Step? I have found them really accurate so far and so easy to use. I figured for the price of them if they didn't work I hadn't wasted much money but I am really pleased I have them to use as well as CB ov tests and temping

DizzyNorthernBird · 27/11/2014 13:03

Thanks tessie, i think I'm more bothered about if I end up wasting my time with them and they don't work for me as they sound like a bit of a faff, but I suppose I'll never know unless I try! I'd originally said I wanted to ttc without using this stuff but the more I'm thinking about it the more I'm starting to want to do everything I can to help make it happen asap! Grin

Dozygirl · 27/11/2014 13:50

dizzy I use the one step cheapies and find them really easy to use and interpret. They give me 2-3 days of positives which along with my temping this month has coincided well with pinpointing ovulation.

Dozygirl · 27/11/2014 13:52

I bought 30 which lasted me 2 months because I started testing twice a day when I got closer to ov'ing because a test might be negative in the morning but positive by the evening. Didn't do it as much this month though.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 27/11/2014 14:52

Kissing I'm quite lucky. My youngest goes to bed at 7pm and the two older ones at 8pm. The older ones are at the other end of the hall so I doubt they would hear anything. I'm not the quietest Blush So when we go to bed there's always time even if it means an early night haha

DizzyNorthernBird · 27/11/2014 16:16

Thanks dozy! Sod it I'm just gonna order some and give it a go Grin

nannynome · 27/11/2014 16:16

I have fallen off the bus due to being unable to count. Got a BFP yesterday which means I am joining the august 2015 club. Hope to see lots of you there!!! Good luck to everyone.

Shootthemoon · 27/11/2014 16:26

ooh congratulations nannynome! yey for BFP!

I have only just learned today that I have been counting AF wrong all these years - I know spotting doesn't count for AF but I didn't realise that if AF starts in the afternoon/evening then you are supposed to start counting from the next day! :-0

loopylou1984 · 27/11/2014 17:18

Tessie - some people get a temp drop right before the ovulate. I would expect yours to go up tomorrow if that's the case. X

loopylou1984 · 27/11/2014 17:19

And congratulations nannynome! X

kissinggiraffe · 27/11/2014 17:26

Congratulations nanny how fantastic to have 3 bfps on the stats list before December has even started.

beautician , you mean you have children who go to bed and stay there and go to sleep Shock I have heard of children like this. I thought they were a myth.....

If I can get 5 mins alone with OH tonight I am going to have my wicked way with him. And it's not even ov time yet no that I'm keeping track of it this cycle

tessiegirl · 27/11/2014 17:55

Thanks Sammy it just seems to be such a plummet of temperature to normal - I shall see what happens tomorrow. Fx for a rise!!

Congratulations nannynome!!

MrsGingerbread · 27/11/2014 18:06

Oooh... has anyone else been accepted in the mumsnet trial for The Stork?

I'm intrigued!

MissMrsMummy · 27/11/2014 18:20

dizzy I use the One Step cheapies too and they are fine for me. I sometimes do them twice a day when I'm near my peak to make sure I don't miss it!

MrsGingerbread · 27/11/2014 18:46

Right, witch has arrived, so I have dates now. ..

MrsGingerbread, 32, ttc #1, cycle 10 mcs cycle 3 and 4, bfp due 21st December

toothachereturns · 27/11/2014 18:49

Congrats to our 3 BFPs! I hadn't realised we had 3 already. Great stuff! Smile Smile Smile

hc899 · 27/11/2014 19:01

Next time someone does the stats please can my age be changed to 31 cos I'm currently showing as ttc #1 aged 1! Lol

beccaroo · 27/11/2014 19:27

TWW for me...snore. Feeling very impatient but my cycles have got a little longer recently so not allowing myself to POAS until day 28 (cycles have been 30 days lately). Good luck all!

hc899 · 27/11/2014 19:30

Major ovulation pains going on today, never had them before (or never noticed them anyway!) - ouch!

MaMaPo · 27/11/2014 19:34

Congrats Nanny! Glad your stay on this bus was so short-lived.

6dpo here and I am trying not to go bonkers with symptom spotting. I have been convincing myself of the following:

  • heightened sense of smell (out walking yesterday and could smell flowers everywhere. this means nothing as it is springtime and there are indeed flowers everywhere)
  • slightly tingly nipples (this means nothing as I am just hyperaware)
  • a very vivid sex dream (this is weird and unusual)
  • and the oddest of all - tingling vulva! (TMI alert!) A very bizarre feeling that I got off and on yesterday. Weird.

I wonder what completely innocuous things I will misinterpret today...

Sparkly123 · 27/11/2014 20:27

Congrats nanny! Another BFP! Great news

MissMrsMummy · 27/11/2014 20:33

Yay nanny our 3rd bfp! Well done!
