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?

TTC #1
Cycle 2
CD1
AF due 9/12

Good luck Carlotta and IsThis - exciting times. Horrid being stuck in limbo!

Me too Kskifred. I also feel all hot in my womb too, and a bit twingy. I've been hopeful all day that it might be implantation (7DPO) but I searched through some of my old threads this evening and last time I was PG I had cramps and spotting at 6DPO and so I feel a bit disheartened that it's just my body playing tricks on me. I hate the TWW

TTC #2 (DS is 10 months old)
Cycle 1
AF due 12/12

Good luck ladies

carlotta that looks very promising. Let us know how you get on in the morning..... I have had cramping today, cd22, so I suspect AF is on her way to get me in the next couple of days.
In better news the next fw is happily over my wedding anniversary, week before Xmas when dh is off work so we can get a lot of dtd in!

Fingers crossed carlotta. A one day period is strange so maybe it was something else and you are further on than you thought?...

pebble I fully sympathise with you. 7 people I know have announce their pregnancy in the 6 months I have been ttc. 2 of those were this weekend. I just want it to be my turn!

blues I know exactly what you mean about dtd too. It definitely becomes a chore when you have your eye on the prize.

Good luck to everyone in the 2ww. Hope the Christmas glitter is baby dust and lots of us get lucky. My fertile week is next week so have ages to wait yet!

Morning ladies, if you could call this ungodly time that! FMU did not a lot for the mystery, same test as yesterday, defo a line but to say it's a squinter is an understatement but suppose it's only 12hrs since last one and day 7po. I'm going to buy frer today but carry on with business as usual assuming a bfn. I just aren't convinced x

I'm aware that made me sound like I live a life of hard drugs and rock and roll that I'm carrying on with, alas no! I just mean not getting my hopes up. Had an evap line last month and did, was soul destroying, can't do it to myself c

CD31, still no sign of AF

did a FRER and was a BFN so going to go to the doctors next week to have a chat about the irregularity of my cycles, looks like I'm out for 2016 though :C

Good luck and fx for the rest of you guys

Right, after a CP or very early MC, things seem to have settled down after two weeks of bleeding and general crappiness.
I normally ovulate the day after my period finishes, but this cycle could be completely messed up so I've told the husband we're going to have to get down to it every day to try (he took the news really well).
We are trying not to put too much pressure on us at the moment, but I also don't want to miss an opportunity.
My next period should be the 28th December but, again, this is just a guess this month. It would be wonderful to have that positive to ring in the new year with though.

Carlotta I know it's horrible but try and wait a few days! It's soooooooo soul destroying to keep getting ambiguous results and the hCG multiplies so slowly in the beginning, it can take a while. Try to hold off until Friday?

I know it's hard to resist the temptation but I would try and wait a bit longer now - you want to be excited about a possible bfp not anxious, which if you test too early you may be a nervous wreck

I totally am, got a few nights now so that will keep me occupied and away from tests. I'm sure it's not, I just don't feel it's my month x

I was in ASDA this morning and a small part of me considered buying a pregnancy test but I managed to stop myself. Normally by now I would be peeing on Cheapies but it all seems so pointless now. With every month that passes I lose even more hope it will ever happen.

Fx for you Carlotta

Sorry you are out Blackcherries, hoping you get your BFP in the new year I've been trying for ten months too xx

I am CD 42 today (of a usual 28-37) day cycle length and not testing until I am Very Late. I am sick of seeing those bright while BFNs, I'm just not testing anymore until I am sure there is a reason to test. Just going to wait for AF which, as cramps started yesterday, I believe will be here soon enough. No symptoms apart from VERY MOODY as had a v early start and late night last night, no sore bbs etc anymore, just a bit of pre AF cramping like I normally have. Apparently if you don't ovulate on a cycle it's not abnormal to be a week late so I am desperately trying to keep my emotions in check and think of other things right now.
Hairdresser said earlier 'are you expecting? I hope you don't mind me saying but you are just looking really well and healthy atm and I've said that yo a couple of clients before who didn't realise at the time they were pregnant'... 🙄 so I went a bit red with awkwardness for me and her, then just said no I'm not and changed the subject... How weird though? So now I'm convinced I must be pregnant - because my hairdresser told me so

writer it is difficult to keep going but that is all we can do, remember to give yourself things to look forward to that don't revolve around TTC eg book yourself a massage or have your nails done, meet up with friends (if you know anyone that is not currently expecting 🙄) have wine, soft cheeses, and rare steak and all the naughty things you can't do when expecting. Chin up, I don't know what the future holds but the chances are you will be a mum one day, don't lose sight of that!

I've got a massage booked in two weeks time, and a facial

Three of my friends are pregnant and I don't like cheese and I don't really drink alcohol

I've got a job interview next Monday for a promotion so no doubt that will trigger the Law of Sod and I will get a BFP

Ps) I already have one child but have wanted a second for so, so long. It took me over a year to convince DH and now he's finally on board it's not happening. He has said that if I'm not pregnant by July then we stop trying - that was the compromise we made when he agreed to try for another baby.

July is seven and a half months away so you should have plenty of cycles in that time. Please don't stress about a deadline or you will putting too much pressure on yourself.
Hopefully you are right and your interview will bring on the BFP
I understand this is usually the way!

I don't dislike alcohol but I rarely drink.. And I don't like soft cheese either!! 😀 but I do eat steak medium-rare! Had a glass of mulled wine too because it's christmas ooh don't forget liquor chocolates!!
Why are our friends expecting?! It's v inconsiderate of them. My two best friends are expecting too - They are both on their second and I don't have one yet! I adore their children and am genuinely happy for them - but can't wait for my time xx

I've already had 10 failed cycles so I'm my eyes I can't see why the next 6/7 cycles would be any different

We conceived first cycle with DS so ten cycles of BFNs has taken away all the excitement about the prospect of another baby.

How I feel about this cycle seems to keep changing with every passing second, it's exhausting. This morning and yesterday I was convinced it wasn't my month, but right now I feel like I am pregnant. Had a lot of pulling type cramps and felt a bit sicky this morning, and I've been really hungry for a couple of days now (I wish occasionally I would lose my appetite ) just feeling a bit off I guess.

Got my works xmas party Friday, and I'm known to not say no to a drink or two (I'm not a mess or anything haha just let my hair down and enjoy a party) so I guess I will either be celebrating trying to look like i'm drinking or commiserating. Af not due til 10/11th though so hoping if it's a bfp it comes before 9th - as if I'm not pregnant I will be really annoyed if I spoilt my evening by being cautious. We will see, still 3 days to go x

Got something very similar, Ksk. Strange pulling sensation just below my belly button, which I've been feeling after a tiny bit sharp pinprick pain yesterday. Hpt negative as of this morning. Still only 10dpo though. Don't know what to think as I've never had anything similar before. Really hope this is the month!

i just bought some FRER on lunch break as don't trust gully the IC. Think they are good if poas addict coz not too expensive

Got some FRER on lunch break, too. Too excited/nervous to test on the real deal, though. Might do with tomorrow's FMU, and use another 10 ICs tonight Why are bodies so slow? This is driving me mad!

I know what you mean Kskifred, it is running through my mind whenever I'm not busy. Glad to be at work to keep me occupied! I don't think it's my month either, I've had super mild cramps for a few days now so I think I'm just gearing up for AF.

I am in total shock but I think I just got my first ever BFP after 10 months TTC!

This doesn't feel real. I really thought I wasn't pregnant (period cramps yesterday) but then today and yesterday I have been really REALLY tired, and today I had the same ham sandwich I always have for lunch - but it smelt awful. So bad I left it there and couldn't even face eating the roll either. Very unlike me to leave food. Anyway what with that, and the freaky soothsayer hairdresser telling me I had a glow about me, I tested... Sorry I know how hard it can be to read about other people's BFPs when you are desperate for one yourself but I had to tell you all
Fx for more BFPs on this thread xx
