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

7dpo today feeling emotional (more so than usual)

cramping has calmed down, been quite uncomfortable since friday.

Well I'm out for definite this month! AF came along yesterday afternoon after my BFN on Friday morning!

Was a bit sad, especially after meeting my NDN's brand new little girl, born on Thursday!! So so gorgeous, & DH went all soft!

So regrouping & getting ready to get back on the bus (& DH!!)

Cycle 3
CD2
AF due 1/1/17!
FW should be roughly the weekend after next!

Good luck ladies :)!

Had period cramps on Friday but none since and no sign of AF yet ... will wait and see what happens over the next couple of days I guess, if nothing tomorrow (hanging onto optimism) will wait and test on Tuesday or Wednesday as I had a BFN this morning

Side note thanks for the heads up on the FRER offer in boots! I've stocked up :)

6dpo here and had quite a painful twinge earlier that lasted about 5 seconds and made me stop what I was doing.

It's clearly implantation pain

tink when were you due again?

Nothing proper from me here. Not sure when I'm actually due though, as cycles have been 25/26 days up until last cycle which was 32. I'll be on cd29 tomorrow and had AF rumblings for days, surely too late to be implantation rumblings though. Only got one test left so waiting til later in the week I think, 99.99% sure it'll be bfn as it always is.

Well it varies a little by a couple of days but ovia says today - CD30 :/

Sorry for those who have had the witch arrive and keeping fx for BFP's for everyone still in this month!

Does anyone know why Ovia is predicting AF in 28 days when my average cycle is 26? Will shorter cycles also not move my FW so I could have potentially missed it last cycle?

I've told DH as soon as AF finishes this week we'll have to DTD every other night until a BFP or af. You should have seen his face light up

Morning all. Still no arrival of AF here and now on day 3 i think of expectant cramps....wierd. I guess i will see how the day unfolds. So far made it to cd 19. Anything from you blackcherries?
Also just downloaded the ovia app so been spending sometime filling that in. My last app looks pretty shoddy compared to this one so fx its helpful!!

cd21 according to ovia, had very uncomfortable stabbing pains this morning and feels like af coming but way too early for that (would mean an 8 day luteal phase this month) so fingers crossed its implantation related. 8dpo today x

Sat here twiddling my thumbs until FW begins... literally nothing exciting to talk about ...

According to Ovia my FW starts on Sunday, so i'm thinking that just to get my fix I shall start POAS from Friday, and get DTD at any hint of a line just for shits and giggles

Sorry for you ladies joining me at the back of the bus, but it's very comfortable, and we all get to be boozy for a while longer.

Fertile week over here.

I'm struggling to be excited because I can feel that both myself and my hubby have started considering TTC a job and sex just doesn't get the same kind of attention it normally does - before TTC. I don't feel like I'm looking forward to sex, it's just this function that we MUST do and the main goal is not enjoyment but to get it done.

I even find myself thinking "lets get it over with".

Anyone else struggling with this?

Binky - you can change your cycle length on Ovia in your account settings. I think it defaults to 28 days. Mine did so I changed it (although I'm still not 100% how long my cycles are). Changing it will change your FW and predicted AF start date.

Bluesdetoi Yes! Totally with you on that one, we also have no sex outside if that window, I feel like my sex life is ruined x

Afternoon Ladies,

Jumping onto say hi again. In my FW at the moment - Could be finished tomorrow or thursday. Ovia changed my window last night as I had creamy CM (sorry TMI) they say thats the best. But when I google it google says its the worst so who knows?!? Im on 4th day of flashing smiley faces with CB. Going to do IC ovulation test soon and see what that says. Im only on CD 12.

Bluesdetoi yep I feel the same -especially when Im not in the mood on a monday/tuesday to be DTD it's a real effort.

Sorry to the Ladies AF got, she's a wagon!

Ovia isn't very good ime. Try fertility friend.

Hells and anyone else, I honestly wouldn't worry about CM. I never got EWCM, only watery lotion type CM. I think creamy CM is okay but if it's sticky or dry then its not fertile. You can still ov and have any type of CM so its not an exact science.

My cramps have stopped. No AF and all cramps stomped. WTF. 10 days theoretically til AF due. So why the cramps for 3 days?!

Just popping in to say, 30th of Nov came and went with no witch action, so did the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th of December and again today, so far, not a sausage. Two BFNs. What's going on?!

Thanks MrsG need to stop googling CM I think I'm ovulating now even though CB is still flashing and IC opk isn't as dark as the control line.

Jelly I have no answers how long are your cycles? Could it be implantation pain may be?

Isthis - that is odd. Are you usually very regular? My first cycle TTC I was 5 days late. I think sometimes the body likes playing horrible tricks. If it continues I would may be go to the doctor for a blood test?

Hey hellsbells. I have no idea how long my cycles are as ive only recently come off mini pill. Took 21 days to bleed once coming off it. Dont have much to go on.

Went out with friends over the weekend and THREE people announced they're expecting. Now that's just mean!

Ah I see Jelly Its just a guessing game at the minute. Hopefully they will get back to normal asap for you.

Pebble That is just mean!

Carlotta - totally! I brought it up with my hubby yesterday that we only have sex in the period when we're supposed to, and outside of that it's dryland. He hadn't thought about it, so I think that depressed him.

Pebble - DAMN what the hell, 3?! Did they all plan it together? Jeez. I'm sorry, that's gotta hurt. Luckily no one in my closest circle is trying (i think) because they all have toddlers. That would devastate me.

Hellsbells It sure is! I'm not glad that you're going through it too, but it is nice to know we're not alone feeling like it's a drag sometimes and not really being in the mood.

bluesdetoi These three all have toddlers! Then the killer question came..."are you not thinking of having another?".

Gosh pebble that is so unfair! I'm just tailing off AF but DH wants a month off otherwise it's going to clash with him being best man at a wedding abroad. Least it would mean no xmas drinking guilt (or maybe less... 😉)
