December Bus (all I want for Christmas is... a baby!)

[MrsG280516]

Thought I'd start the December bus, who's on the naughty list this year?

MrsG
25
TTC #1
Cycle 2
CD1
AF due 9/12

MrsCummings "focussed and quirky" '

I am on Day 1 on TWW (I think). Time to enter the obsessive stage!

Ah you girls cheer me up no end. I've booked my seat at the back of the bus too-next af due date - 25/12...what a Christmas gift that'd be

Tinkerbell I also have no symptoms and have had sore boobs/constipation (sorry for tmi) for last 4 months with no BFP so lack of symptoms making me strangely hopeful...

Test date should be tomorrow according to Ovia (AF due Fri) but Im scared to test (had a miscarriage pre DD and if I had an early mis part of me would rather not know, although that's silly of course because I'm never late so I would know!!)

No symptoms here but with ds1 I had none until af was nearly due (and I thought they were af symptoms at the time)! Had loads of "symptoms" in recent cycles that were bfns...

oh minime welcome to the back! pretty sure a few girls have got knocked up on the back of a bus so maybe it'll be our good luck charm!

Oh and Ovia can get knotted... it's just told me to put ice on my achy boobs and eat a banana... Bloody Ice?!?! Big fat NO from me.

Talk about colder than a witches tit

Flamingo don't go pissy-footing around the bathroom, get it?

Loving these POAS tales. I'll probably drop it down the loo if I ever get a BFP...

Spotting has started, jinxed myself.

I literally have no symptoms, not even AF symptoms yet, they're usually here the week before AF due... Puzzling

Here's a funny one, first time I poas (was still on the pill but "felt" pregnant ) I didn't read the instructions properly and didn't take the cap off the stick before I peed on it then I wondered why nothing showed up!!

MrsG that cracked me up!

I'm hoping I can squeeze into a spare seat at the back of the bus, but that may be optimistic. I had BFP on the 18th a day before I AF was due. Since then I had continuous spotting/bleeding. I thought it had stopped on Monday and allowed myself a teeny bit of hope. Come Monday night, it was clearly all over! Today has been horrific with pain and blood loss (tmi,sorry) and I had a training course to sit through. But it was super early days so I'm trying to focus on the future and I'm hoping everything settles down pretty quickly now and we can start ttc again asap. I'm taking yesterday as cd1 and I'll see how we go.
But I'll not be testing until I'm very, very late next time!

OMG this is hilarious! flamingo you crack me up. I am so sorry for BFN but at least you get another go in December..... and same to you DrB
More sorry for those that AF got. I am actually planning a party for the week before xmas so i can be happy if i am out this month....
obv if i am not out this month i will have some awkward question dodging to do but i doubt that will happen.
I am now CD16 2dpo so heading fully into 2ww of madness. I had no symptoms at all last month so it wasn't too mental and stressful as i knew there was no chance. Let's see how we go this month.....

so sorry to hear about that ducks it must have been pretty horrific for you. Lets hope you get back on track swiftly.....x

Ducks I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the emotions you're going through. You can come sit with me on the bus... Beware, there are some crazies!

2ducks I'm really sorry for you, that's an awful thing to experience. Stay strong

I'm giving up with the Ovia app! It predicted my FW to start today at CD12, even though I Ov'd at CD13 last month. I did a Clear Blue OPK and got a positive static face and double checked with a cheapy OPK and got a positive this evening. Luckily we've been DTD since getting flashing faces on the Clear Blue duel OPKs so managed to get a few try's in!

Just squeezing into the back of the bus as AF arrived today.

Ttc #1
Age 36
Cycle 3
Cd 1

Hopefully Santa will bring us all a BFP!

2Ducks I'm so sorry to hear your story, you are very welcome to sit anywhere on this bus, don't hide away in the back unless you're hiding from the crazies in which case keep your head down and do not make eyecontact or they'll come sit next to you!

I'm currently the loony one clutching hpts and with a slightly manic look in her eyes. waves enthusiastically No doubt my craziness will pass soon and someone else can take the baton.

The threads moved so fast I think there's a few people who I didn't reply to so sorry about that

No AF as yet but there is no telling when she will arrive based on my cycles. Tomorrow is 14DPO so I will poas in the morning if no sign of her... 🙄

Boobs still sore but you will be pleased to know I will not be putting ice on them MrsCummings 😱 they are even too sore to poke and prod (I think this might be a genuinely-there pain this time )

Flamingo I also have sore boobs but won't be using ice! Saying that, it took so long to de-ice my car this morning that I'm surprised they didn't fall off! My last cycle was just the left one sore - I even googled 'one breast tender early pregnancy' in hope that it was an odd sign but no such luck. Double sore breasts must be a good sign, right?

I'm also telling myself that the slightly sick feeling from over indulging on halloumi is early pregnancy related nausea. Just let me dream!

I'll be testing again in the morning - 10dpo and I'm feeling lucky. Well I am right now. Come morning, that will likely change.

OK I tested. I got the whitest of all BFN ever. Urgh. I hate this stupid game.

ducks that's really awful for you, I hope it all passes quickly and you can get going again, chin up for now xxx

Glad to see I'm not the only one horrified by this ice business, I cannot imagine that will do anything apart from make me yelp!

power it's amazing the brightness of that mocking white isn't it!

Everything is crossed for you lot that are still in the game!

Ducks so sorry to hear hope you're ok :C

Power same here - I caved and it was the B-est F-est N imaginable

Tested way early obvs but still feel like I'm out this month, we'll see

Does anyone do BBT? Is it more reliable than OPKs?

Just planning ahead for next month lol

I don't BBT because I value my sleep too much! Cheapie OPK strips work well enough for me and suit my POAS addiction

PowderPuffer you are only 10/11dpo so you aren't out yet. But I totally get what you mean about the mocking bright white of a BFN test strip. I have to be in a good frame of mind before testing and I'm afraid I bottled out this morning didn't test. Feeling a bit down today (my classic AF prelude) so I am just going to wait for AF to show now. CD36, hope it's not another long cycle. Even if AF arrives today it's too late for another chance of a BFP in December now.
Stupidly I had daydreamed about how I would tell my close family on Xmas day but I need to mentally prepare myself that that is highly unlikely after yesterday's BFN. I think seeing AF will be easier than driving myself batty by staring at hpts for invisible lines! So I'll stop mooning around now. I have a coffee and a croissant with my name on it!
Heres hoping that we get some BFPs v soon!!!
