All we want for Christmas is our BFP! All aboard the December Bus...

[Celen]

Starting the boarding for the December Bus...

My history if anyone is interested:-

DS1 in October 2012. Started ttc for dc2 last September. Got BFP in the November but MC'd at 5 weeks.
Fast forward to July, got another bfp. Started bleeding on August Bank Holiday weekend and found out we had MMC at 11 weeks. Had ERPC a week later. 5 weeks later after still getting positive hpts, found out the ERPC had been completely unsuccessful and had to have whole bloody procedure again.

Anyway. Now got my first proper period after all the above bullshit and hoping for bfp on or before the 18th December

Hi everyone! Just decided to start trying during my next cycle but hit a speed bump already! AF was supposed to start on Tuesday and I'm normally pretty regular. But nothing yet. Had a very minimal amount of brown spotting yesterday but nothing overnight. Ovia has decided it can't predict anything now until AF arrives.
BFNs on tests. No idea when next fertile window will start or whether I've missed it? Anyone have any idea what's going on? Hubby and I have been excitedly waiting for it to start and finish so we can start trying in December but now in a weird limbo??

Welcome Hollyberry, that sounds very frustrating. Could you be getting false negatives on your tests?

Serious, I'm excited for you. It all sounds very promising.

I'm usually as regular as clockwork. Af is due on the 1st of December but I've had cramping all night and feel as though it's imminent. My dh is convinced the IUI is going to work first time and I'm worried about him being disappointed. I want to be positive but also realistic.

This bus moves really quickly! Think I'm all caught up.

Any news on Rae since the lines started fading?

Nice to see a few symptom spotters! Good luck pug finding and serious

Holly, have you been trying this cycle? Maybe it's just to early for a Bfp?

Finding, really hope the Iui has worked for you!!

No real news here. No symptoms (as hard as I have looked to find some!). 7dpo. Had sore nipples after OV (same as last month) but they are getting better now. I OVd late cod of coming off pill, did OPKs 25 days in a row in the end, until lines started fading again day after OV... I was getting bored of peeing into pots and dipping stick... But now I miss it! Haha. Haven't peed on a stick for 6 days! Withdrawals! Temping is keeping me sane, I know when I OVd so I know it's FAR too early to pee on a stick! Haha x

CD5, oh god this is dragging, not even time to start DTD and then I have all the symptom spotting to come!
A cupboard full of FRER's and a plastic cup from DD picnic set for 22nd Dec!
Hurry up days and nights

It would be lovely if it is a BFP but we didn't stop using condoms until a few weeks ago. We decided we'd start trying in Dec and missed Nov dates on purpose. But now I'm thinking that if the dates were out, it might have happened lol. I might buy an early test today as the ones I've been using might not pick it up if it's so early.

Im still getting negative ov tests. Im going crazy waiting lol x

Hey ladies,
Thoughts are with all those frustrated waiting to either OV or to POAS; first cycle trying for me and it already feels like a strange sort of merry-go-round! Had positive results on the OV tests for the third day in a row now which Google tells me is odd; has anyone experienced this? DH and I are still DTD like mad just in case. Quite amazed at how quickly DTD has started to feel like hard work!
Serious that sounds really promising so fingers crossed for you. Baby dust to everyone

Gin, i dont know if they are the same as clear blue, but you can get a few days high and one day peak?
Ive been looking into checking your cervix to see if your ovulating, but have no clue lol xx

Gah! On my phone and just lost my message. Not the clear blue ones Kelz just a bog standard superdrug one whilst waiting for my Amazon job lot to arrive. Will try to post a pic...

This is it...

Similarly clueless about cervix checking!

Gin its definitely positive but i dont know why youd get mote than one? I have some home bargains ones like that but i havent had any positives yet to compare to.
And for the cervix....i thought id have a try but i can barely touch it, which means i must be about ovulating. Hopefully. But not going to lie i dont know what to feel for hahah xx

Thanks Kellz I've done some more googling and found a few schools of thought:
1 - doesn't matter, first positive counts, the surge can sometimes stick about for longer
2 - sometimes the first surge doesn't release an egg so your body keeps trying
3 - sometimes you keep surging and release more than one egg as a result

So who knows! Fingers crossed your OV is soon.

I have a slight pain in my left elbow. I googled just to confirm that it wasn't a symptom

Finding that's amazing lol. Welcome to the nut house; we're right here with you. I've never paid so much attention to my body in my life.

Ah Gin i just googled it and seen that. Least we know now!
Finding i feel myself googling everything to see if it a symptom lol. Xx

This bus moves sooo fast! Well I have one week and two days left until AF/POAS and I'm feeling more positive this month (but incredibly weepy, just watched Southpaw with DH and I've gone through three Kleenex!!) so I'm really hoping I'm not being a silly billy getting my hopes up to be let down.
Anybody else in the TWW? How are you all keeping sane?!

finding that made me laugh so much!

Thought my nausea was abating, so attempted a glass of wine. Nausea's back...from my experience today, I can only stomach breaded chicken, toast, tuna, salad cream and rice. It's an interesting mix.

If I had to put money on it, I'd say that I'm definitely pg - just based on my experience during last pg, but nausea didn't start for 6 weeks then.

I might regret saying all this when my hopeful BFP turns out to be a BFN...

bailey I'm in the 2WW. One week to go...I'm away with work for a couple of days this week, so hoping that will pass the time!

I'm on! AF due on 1st or 2nd December. Been TTC for over a year on and off. Having some odd mild stomach stabbing pains plus really sore boobs and extreme moods... Could be nothing but Fingers crossed! Wish me and my partner were younger so we didn't have to worry about the time slipping by. I'm 31 and he's 41, so want lots of kids straight away, lol. Good luck to everyone, I hope this is a good month! :)

Hi hanste, I hope you get your bfp this month! Those sound like good symptoms...not sure what I'd do without this group so I can vent.

Hi SeriousStuff, sounds positive for you too! Fingers crossed for both of us x

Anyone else testing on Tuesday?

Hi everyone I feel you symptom spotters. I have been very tired and emotional but tried to convince myself this is just my normal personality to avoid disappointment!

I can't sleep so I poas even though AF isn't due for another week! It isn't even December yet I am getting ahead of myself. Maybe it is tiredness making me delirious but to me when I shine my phone torch at it, it looks less blank than the BFNs from previous months! Is this an evap or a line or nothing? Opinions appreciated, thank you x

What dpo are you Serious & pinkpumpkin?

Celen I am not sure as I don't temp or use OV sticks (I just DTD EOD throughout cycle). I am day 21 of 28 day cycle.
