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

@Gem173 sorry I tagged the wrong person before. It's just what we had in the house there's a whole degree difference between my left and right ear 🙄 I'll get something better if/when I get a BFN x

AJ89 · 01/12/2017 18:42

11dpo and BFN, been very crampy (but quite mild) with a weird pain in my right pelvic area for the past three days but it’s all stopped now. Weird. Not usual for me but dunno what’s going on. AF due tomorrow according to FF.

ImpatientMammy · 01/12/2017 18:47

@AJ89 hope your ok was BFN this morning? X

AJ89 · 01/12/2017 18:54

@ImpatientMammy yes was this morning. Suppose I’m not out til af arrives! Trying to keep positive about it at the mo!

Fia256 · 01/12/2017 18:57

Well spotting has showed up again, and picked up too, so I'm pretty positive af will be here tomorrow Sad doesn't help that the tests that I've done today with the clear blue advanced fertility monitor have had faint lines!! Fed up once again

Gem173 · 01/12/2017 19:05

@LostMyBaubles yes it does beep but not that loudly. It beeps once to say it’s on, then after it’s been in your mouth it beeps 10 times to say it’s finished calculating your temp. I find the beeping helpful, still do it with oh next to me, doesn’t make him stir.

hungryradish · 01/12/2017 19:10

I accidentally picked up some ovulation tests instead of pregnancy tests so I guess I'll be giving these a go then even though I wasn't going to!

ImpatientMammy · 01/12/2017 19:10

What time are you's temp taking? I've been doing it when i get up it's just with everyone saying about waking there OH's what times it meant to be taken?
Hope your ok @Fia256 let us know if AF comes. I've had spotting within a healthy pregnancy when I've overworked myself but I don't think it's the same at this stage I don't know x

peterpanwendy · 01/12/2017 19:13

I'm 12dpo today (CD28) AF due tomorrow but no signs or regular symptoms. Will be fuming if she's just late. Is a 12-13 luteal phase considered short? I believe I Ovulated (according to OPK and twinges) CD16.

peterpanwendy · 01/12/2017 19:16

Oh and BFN on internet cheapie this AM :(

OP posts:
Sparklesdontshine · 01/12/2017 19:21

That's a good length luteral phase @peterpanwendy

I wasn't going to but I also tested again today bfn. AF due Sunday, and I have had more spotting so it's not looking good

FruitandNutty · 01/12/2017 19:21

I’m interested to know how long on average a person uses Mumsnet’s boards for.. it can’t be that we are all not having luck aside from a couple of people. Sometimes I wonder if I’m dtd wrong or something lol Sad

ImpatientMammy · 01/12/2017 19:28

Awww @FruitandNutty how long have you been trying for? I'm sure it's not actually anything your doing x

ImpatientMammy · 01/12/2017 19:30

Also some people might not want to post BFP's out of fear of jinxing it or might just forget or stop posting for whatever reason x

Fia256 · 01/12/2017 19:32

Ah thanks @ImpatientMammy. I'm pretty convinced it's af gearing up though. I just wish if it is, that it starts tomorrow. As then I'll still be in with a chance of getting a bfp at the end of 2017. It's been a horrid year for us, actually been the hardest year of my life so far!! So it would be nice to get that bfp on New Years! I can dream though lol

Owlpatrol · 01/12/2017 19:37

Yes I'm with you there @Fia256!

More cramps today however no spotting...yet so I'm treating myself to a glass of wine tonight

@FruitandNutty I've been trying a year however only been on mn for 3 months as been looking for support. Before then I was very much one of the "it'll happen when it happens" gals however now I'm a bit more of a crazy lady lol!

Dh has been great today he said oh well if it's not this month we will have to dtd every day next month. Woah tiger lol! Have to introduce him to the sperm meets egg plan.

What's everyone's plans this weekend?

I'm doing Xmas tree tomorrow Smile to take my mind off things

Gem173 · 01/12/2017 19:48

@Impatientmammy
I temp at 5:30am because that’s when I get up for work. Oh gets up at 6:30am.

Gem173 · 01/12/2017 19:50

Oops that’s meant to be waiting for my new bed!*

Fia256 · 01/12/2017 19:52

We did our tree this evening! Then dd has her dance show all this weekend so at least I won't have a second to breathe or think about testing! Or that's what I'm hoping anyway Grin

FruitandNutty · 01/12/2017 20:03

@ImpatientMammy I’m 28 and it’s been 4 months ttc my first, which I realise isn’t long compared to some, but everyone in my circle has managed it in first or second month tops.

I did my tree last weekend and spent the day watching Harry Potter with DH! I plan to do the same this Sunday!

Gem173 · 01/12/2017 20:03

Pictures of my opks taken twice a day, shows that opks can darken and become lighter at any point in the cycle ! How confusing lol
