December Bus - Christmas Wishes

Hi all,

I’ve decided to take the plunge and make a December Bus. I know it’s still early in Nov but for those of us whose cycles fall early in the month it’ll be nice for us to have a new thread!

I’m 23
TTC #1
Cycle: 2

Had so many symptoms in October (unusual for my regular AF) so felt so disappointed when it wasn’t meant to be.

Anyway let’s hope December is our month and hope for that Christmas surprise! SmileHalloween GrinStar

Pinkslink I'm no expert but i think you're cycles when you're on the pill (or the pill i was on anyway) are fake they are regulated by giving you a withdrawl bleed when you have your week of not taking the pill. You don't actually ovulate while you're on the pill. So you need to go with your natural cycles which will be 26 days if that's what you've had since being off the pill but just be aware in my experience and i know from some of these threads a lot of people could vouch for this, my cycles were all over the place for a few months after coming off the pill. I would test on Thursday and take a test with you to do saturday/sunday.
Nk1605 yes DH was the same when we started ttc so now i don't tell him about my opks etc and just try to encourage dtd as much as i can when i know it's around the right time. Obviously he still knows but i think because we don't speak about it, the pressure if off a bit

Just did another fr, and got another negative. Are there any other early testers this week?

Kkk87 · 28/11/2017 12:12

Hi ladies I'm hopping on your December bus
Age 30
TTC #1
Cycle #4 after mc in September
Af due today
Had 3 bfn since Saturday

If my cycle stays the same this month my next af or BFP will be due Christmas Eve . X

Kkk87 · 28/11/2017 12:18

Sorry I meant cycle#3 (when af shows today) since mc in September

peterpanwendy · 28/11/2017 12:19

@Sparklesdontshine what CD are you? I'm CD25 dying to test!

sparkles I'm going to test tonight. My boobs are sooo painful and DH thinks they even look bigger (not hard!!)... fingers and toes crossed for all of us. Today is CD 27.

Merrz · 28/11/2017 12:52

kkk87 Af showed up yesterday for me so i'm next due on boxing day, think i will test either xmas eve or day. It would be soo amazing to get a bfp and be able to tell dh on xmas day. But will be extra shit if af arrives on xmas!

Whoa whoa horsey getting way ahead of myself and only cd2 Blush

Sparklesdontshine · 28/11/2017 12:58

@peterpanwendy I am cd 24 Grin. I’m pretty certain I’m out as my cervix is low and open, but trying not to loose hope!

nk1605 · 28/11/2017 13:04

(sorry, username change as I think some relatives are on MN!)

Thanks everyone, so glad I'm not the only one. I feel awful for getting so wrapped up in everything, and it was all I could talk about. So I'm going to keep all the monitoring to myself now and just keep DP on a need to know as it's really hindered things. Luckily I haven't had a positive OPK yet

nk1605 · 28/11/2017 13:13

Oh looks like it hasn't! 🤔

Kkk87 · 28/11/2017 13:28

I'm totally with you @Merrz I already know my next cycle dates, af etc before the current one is out.. it's DP birthday the day before Xmas eve so I may test that day instead . Could go either way really tho.. scary thought actually .. FX for you x

Sparklesdontshine · 28/11/2017 13:39

So I just had a wee and wiped, and got blood Shock. I'm swaying between excitement that it could be implantation (7 days po, cd24) or upset that af has arrived early. I'm cramping though so I think it's probably af Sad

Babydreaming · 28/11/2017 14:04

Sparkles I guess time will tell! CD24 would be very early to get period though so fingers crossed 🤞🏻.
I’m CD24 but have a long cycle so am 7dpo. I have engagement drinks on sat so will have to test a bit early on sat morning at 11dpo. We only dtd on the first day of my fertile window though as husband was away and I don’t feel pregnant though so just using this month as a practice to get to know my cycles and start trying next month!

Merrz · 28/11/2017 14:08

You too Kkk
Although i had the hope of being able to tell my mum on her birthday then DH on his birthday so Xmas now, fx

Kkk87 · 28/11/2017 14:28

IF December brings me my rainbow baby I will tell my parents on Christmas Day.. they were Ecstatic when I told them in August .. hopefully end 2017 with good news

LookingAtTheStars89 · 28/11/2017 15:49

I got my blood test results back and they said that I had to repeat the full blood count because of "in inaccurate reading" they said that I was dehydrated! I find that hard to believe as I drink two litres a day!

AJ89 · 28/11/2017 16:05

Well I’m now 8dpo and driving myself mad looking for symptoms... said I was going to be relaxed this month lol whoops!!

Owlpatrol · 28/11/2017 16:20

Anyone else finding it hard to pass the time? I'm about 10dpo today and time is dragging till I can maybe test Friday unless I've bad spotting by then

FruitandNutty · 28/11/2017 18:07

@Owlpatrol yes! I am finding it so hard to not think about if this is our lucky month. Twws are the worst! I keep thinking I’m getting twinges in abdomen area then reminding myself I’m only 4dpo so unlikely to be anything exciting lol..

ImpatientMammy · 28/11/2017 18:18

Hi all hope you don't mind me joining. I finally got my coil out today after it got lost for about 3 months. If normally try to catch up on a thread but get the feeling this ones been going a while so I'll just say hi and catch up as I go x

MiniMinions · 28/11/2017 18:27

@Sparklesdontshine I too have got spotting today (had a little yesterday), due Thursday/Friday ish but bfn this morning. So am thinking AF is on her way

peterpanwendy · 28/11/2017 18:32

@ImpatientMammy welcome :) hope this is your lucky month x

peterpanwendy · 28/11/2017 18:34

@Sparklesdontshine I had spotting this month about 7dpo.. I'm hopeful for you!

@Owlpatrol me! Its all I can think about! Will be gutted if it's a BFN this month :(

nk1605 · 28/11/2017 18:36

CD16 and still no positive OPK...omg I am seriously losing patience! The past few days ive been getting cramps on and off, which gets my hopes up but then I test and there's hardly a line showing on the opk. So frustrating...

LookingAtTheStars89 · 28/11/2017 18:53

@nk1605. I know how you feel! I'm cd 19 and no positive (static face) :-(
