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

Sodasoda, how does your stomach feel? I feel an ache deep in my stomach (had it for days), think that might be AF 😔

Increasingly thinking it's going to be a no this month. I've got a few twinges and pains in the womb area etc, few other signs, but boobs are just the same as ever, I'm sure that they would be changing if it was a yes.

Fifth day of flashing smileys here, very tedious! Late ov day for me this cycle, probably tomorrow on cd19, which is frustrating as I frequently have short luteal phases

Anyone have a short luteal phase?

Anyone else testing soon?

Oh no hanste! Hope it stays away! I've been feeling a bit crampy but AF not here so far and she usually makes an appearance first thing in morning. But temp down again this morning so fairly sure I'm out.

celeb - 5 days is a lot! I ovulated on CD19 this month which is my latest so far. I'm 14dpo today and will test tomorrow if the bitch doesn't arrive! Hoping late ovulation will be a good thing for us both!

olwina it doesn't mean you're out - I know a lot of people who haven't had sore boobs when pregnant. Or at least haven't started having sore boobs until a few weeks in xx

Another BFN for me! I didn't get my BFP with DS until the day before AF was due, so I'm not giving up yet!
Owlina, I never got sore boobs with DS in the whole pregnancy, in fact I had absolutely no pregnancy symptoms at all (apart from my growing belly and no AF of course!) I was very lucky.

...and there's me out. Was meant to test this morning (10DPO) but AF came last night :(
Do we think this is a short LP? Or perhaps kindara predicted OV wrongly? Though I had lots of CM at the right time...any thoughts ladies?

What's the protocol on buses? I'll be POAS around this time next month so do I ride on here or get on a January one?

Name: Kiwifluff
Age: 25
TTC: #1
Cycle: #4 post MC
CD: 34
AF Due: 28th November - 1st December

Bit of background info: had a miscarriage in July at 12 weeks the night before my first scan .

Been trying since then and my cycles had been consistently 29 days, until last cycle where I was fifteen days late .

Currently on CD34 and no sign of period...debating whether to test or not with 2nd MU. Hate hate hate getting constant negatives and only have one pee stick left in the cupboard.

AF is due on Saturday so I'll test late afternoon if it hasn't arrived by then. I've resisted the urge to test early because I found it really depressing seeing that single line last month then just waiting for AF to arrive (tested on 14DPO). It's my work Christmas party that night so I'll either be pregnant or drunk!

olwina and sodasoda - I had some boobs when I was pregnant with DS. I get them every month after ovulation, pregnant or not. The only different when I was PG is that they stayed sore for a few weeks after my BFP.

^^ SORE boobs although I do have SOME boobs too.

So af arrived yesterday. We had a call from the hospital and I start taking my stimming meds on Saturday evening.

I have a blood test and ultrasound booked in for the 10th to see how my ovaries are reacting to the drugs and whether I'm ready for the trigger injection.

Fine sorry to hear you're out.
Good luck finding! Really hope it works out for you
Mama we're due AF/BFP on the same day! Fx for us
Kiwi sorry to hear about your mc. Could you wait until morning to POAS with fmu? Especially if you've only got 1 left!

Sodasoda, sorry I couldn't resist, I tested and BFN. Pretty gutted, even more so because OH wants us to take a break from trying in December 😢 he thinks I'm getting too stressed about it, but all I'm doing is paying attention to my body, which I do every month when AF due. Makes me feel like I can't talk to him and that I'm doing this on my own 😔

In fact, pretty annoyed with OH, he isn't trying at all. He still drinks, even a glass or 2 at home most evenings (what's the point in that?) he's stopped exercising and eating badly and going into steam rooms! I know you have to live as well but he's not trying at all. He only has to behave until I get pregnant, I have to carry on for another 9 months. Feeling very unsupported in this, and feel like he doesn't want it. He says he does, but I guess only if it doesn't involve him making an effort of any kind. I really want this, but he's 41, he's not going to want to keep trying forever, and I can't not be a parent...

MiniLop I found an unopened pack of two at the back of the bathroom cabinet so took one with second MU, and will try the other one tomorrow morning with FMU.

Not sure what to make of it to be honest, I'd post a picture but I'm new-ish not sure how!

Ooh exciting kiwi! You must post a photo - are you using the app, mobile or full site?

I'm on the full site, just noticed the photo uploading gear below

I'm quite convinced I just have line-eyes, but here is the photo anyway (and an inverted one for good measure), I've put an arrow to where I think can see a very very faint thin line.

Now I feel a loon, those photos are really unclear and even I have to bob my head around like a demented crow to see the slight possibility of a line I'll POAS tomorrow morning and see where we go from there.

Kiwi, I do see a faint line, fx it gets darker for tomorrow morning xx

Hi ladies just checking in, still in the 2ww; this thread has been keeping me sane! Commiserations to those who are out this month and big fx to those waiting to POAS or re-POAS! This is my first month of trying after 17 years of birth control, having the occasional twinge but not reading into it as I don't know what normal is for me yet. I had +ve OPKs for three days from one week ago, so going to try to give it another week before succumbing to POASing. Hi to all new joiners! X

Sorry t no hear about AF Fine, and I think there's already a January bus boarding. FX for a future bfp to you!

kiwi I see a very faint line too, hope it's gets darker tomorrow for you! What dpo are you? Any pg symptoms?

hanste mine is a bit crap too. He's teetotal though so that goes in his favour but he eats crap, takes no exercise and is overweight. Would your DH take a multi-vitamin supplement? If he won't do any other changes?

Fine sorry to hear that too; did you use OPKs?
