December Bus - Christmas Wishes

[peterpanwendy]

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!

@hardheadedwoman @lostmybauble I also have had chemical pregnancies (2 in fact!)

The first one I tested 4days before AF and then multiple times after but the line was just getting lighter and then my AF arrived when it was due! Was devastated.

After the 1st one I conceived my now 1 year old the next month.

When my little one was 6 months old I got pregnant accidentally but realised period was late and felt nauseous so tested! Was a shock but just as I was getting excited about it I started bleeding a few days after AF due!

It’s horrible and I always question whether there’s something wrong with me. I’m almost nervous about getting a BFP now as it’s horrible when you get all excited and then lose it.

Hi to all the new ladies hope you are all doing well. December bus is getting busy we need a double decker hehe
It's suddenly dawning on me we've been ttc for a year now with no bfp's no chemicals or anything so I'm a little down. I've had sore sore boobs all day and some on and off cramps so a bit unsure of bothering to test tomorrow but think I'll do an ic would be lovely for an early Xmas present. If not ill be onto January already!

@owlpatrol have you been to see GP? I think they do tests after a year?

Hi all, I came off the contraceptive pill at the end of September & am just waiting for my body to get into some kind of normality again - it's been all over the place.

We're being very relaxed about conceiving & tbh I'm still learning about it all. Have learnt so much from mumsnet but don't want start temping etc just yet however I can definitely see how people become quite obsessed with it all.

Got a smiley face today, which is good as this month we're trying every other day so we dtd Sunday , Tuesday and today, as I've said before we are usually twice a day but read it's better to leave a day or two in between to replenish the sperm so fingers crossed it's the month for us!

Its just making me feel crazy! I spend lots of time reading everyones posts on here, you're right, it is comforting to know you arent the only one!

I was born a worrier so every feeling i get i am convinced i am pregnant! How do you all get through normal life without over thinking everything?! Im finding it impossible!

@franktheskank happy days! I got my positive OPK today too so planning to dtd tonight. We have been doing every other day too so hopefully will catch it this month. I'm CD18, and my last cycle was 28 days so the only thing that concerns me is that my LP is v short

@nk1605 you had a pos opk, that’s great!! Better get down dtd now for the next 3 days! I’m on cd 10 and opks are still light atm, however have done the deed every other day since af ended. Beds due sat, so no doubt will be christening it aha think fw is next week, fx you will catch this cycle

Not yet @Babydreaming will have to admit to myself I need help first and then might book new year

@Gem173 yes fingers very tightly crossed!! I know the plan says dtd 3 days in a row, then skip a day, then dtd one more time. Unfortunately DP is travelling with work from Sunday so looks like I only have the 3 days! Hopefully it still gives us a good chance. But I think my short LP might become an issue. It was only 9 days last time 😦

Glad it's going well for you so far!

What CD do you normally get your positive OPK?

@nk1605 I’m sure the three days will be enough ! I have a shortish lp too of 11/12 days, I do worry about it sometimes.. not too sure what day ovulation is, my first cycle was 31 days and ovulated cd21, my second cycle was 28 days, ovulated cd17. This is my third cycle trying so hopefully if it stays to 28 days I should have pos opk on cd16/17 so 6th/7th Dec x

Guys, this tww is torture!!! Assuming I'm out this month (soo any bfns and AF due Saturday) if anyone has any tips on staying sane throughout all this, please share them! Going nuts! So easy to get obsessive!

@surreygirl1987 I have no tips but a lot of people don't get any symptoms before a missed period. When's AF due? X

Sorry reread you've already said I have my fingers crossed for you x

Lots of people down in the dumps today (including me) we need to make this bus a party bus (alcohol, caffeine and fun free)

Hope there's good news over the weekend for people. Our bus is officially up and running tomorrow! At least we can eat advent choc

That made me laugh @peterpanwendy yesss I'm with you on that party bus girl!

@peterpanwendy I miss caffeine and alcohol! I went from getting pregnant in Nov 2015 to breastfeeding in 2016/17 to getting pregnant again in July to ttc now! Oh and I had open chest surgery in mid 2015 so I have been almost completely alcohol free since the beginning of 2015!

I did rebel and have a glass of champagne on my wedding day last Christmas Eve lol

@LookingAtTheStars89 I have a 2015 baby ☺️
Have you all entirely given up caffeine etc or just in the TWW. I've hardly changed my diet at all 😬 x

Definitely more of a party bus for me!! I don't give up caffeine or alcohol. Not that I'm a massive consumer of either, but I definitely don't give them up at any point in the cycle. Don't intend to until I get that BFP!

Party bus sounds AWESOME! 😁

@ImpatientMammy Ugh! I have given up everything you wouldn't eat when you were pregnant AND caffeine AND alcohol!

I feel like I'm putting enough pressure on without putting my life on hold too. @louella99 I'm the same not much of a consumer anyway but I drink tea and def won't be avoiding the Christmas cheese without a BFP x

Hi Can I join in?

TTC #2 (14 months old)

Age 28

Cycle 1 - just had mirena out

Trying to stay relaxed about the while thing as last time is convinced myself it would take months and I conceived on the 2nd cycle. Still have the paranoia about secondary infertility though...

@LookingAtTheStars89 @ImpatientMammy I didn't give up anything last cycle and it ended in a BFN so thought I'd reign it in this month. Haven't completely given up anything but only drank one night this month and am having decaf hot drinks at home then the odd coffee when I'm out. All in moderation!
I am however consuming unhealthy amounts of pate because I love it so much and don't want to give it up haha!

I had mulled wine this evening, I don’t think that counted as it tasted mostly like orange juice! I’m 7dpo tomorrow and so far I’ve had zero noticeable symptoms, just the usual sore boobs and bbt temp rise, although today my temp did dip, but don’t want to read too much into that. Anyone else find this week just dragging so slowly?! I want to get to the end of next week already lol.. hate how ttc makes you wish your weeks away!
