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!

Ooo do tell me more about the pineapple please

Ooo I love pineapple, what is it meant to do?

I’ve just had a google of this pineapple thing!

It says you need to eat the core?! Which has the highest concentration of bromelain, which thickens the lining of the uterus which helps with implantation.

Also says it must be after ovulation otherwise it can make the ewcm too acidic so have the opposite affect

I’ll be giving this one a try

I was told with my 3 to eat lots of pineapple to induce labour?

Drinking lots of water helps produce 'plump'eggs lol that's a bit more doable

Il get on the bus!
TTC #1
Cycle 1 (so very new to me)
26 years old.

Have just bought seven seas trying to conceive tablets. So will start taking those tomorrow.

Good luck ladies!!

Xx

I'm going to hop on this bus, too! AF just came today after I was sure November was going to be the lucky month.

TTC#1
Cycle 4
AF due December 9

I'm a bit worried about only having a 10-day luteal phase, so I'm going to try taking some B6 and Vitamin C which some of you wonderful ladies suggested to extend it on a previous post. I'm also looking to cut out sugar and focus on being more healthy.

Also, pineapple! I tried that this month, but I didn't realise it was the core you were meant to eat... whoops!

On top of that, I'm taking Seven Seas trying to conceive, and when that runs out, I'm going to consider taking a proper prenatal vitamin.

Christmas-y baby dust to one and all!!!

Ha. Glad someone said the pineapple is AFTER ov only... good to know! In honesty I don't know how much impact these sorts of things have... but it's good to feel like we're 'doing' something (other than dtd, obvs).

Oh yeh and pre-natal vitamins are expensive!! All fine if you conceive within two or three months, but long term ttc using those would cost a fortune! :/

I'll join the December bus.

35 yrs
Ttc #2
Cycle 18 (snore)

Good luck everyone, im feeling unusually perky considering my terrible hit rate.. maybe the meds are still working their way out of my system..!

Hi to all the new ladies!
My AF has practically finished now after only 3 days which is not usual for me so this month could be odd for timing.
I've bought a temping gadget for this month! Really hope we see lots of bfp's this month!

Baby dust to all xx

I’m hoping I stand a bit more of a chance this month. I’ve started to notice whenever I have a miscarriage it takes my body a couple of months to get back to normal!

Miscarriage end of Aug/start of sept, and this month I’ve found so far my temps are higher in general, and more like what they are before miscarriages have happened in the past. So I’m hoping that’s a sign that I’m back to normal again now!

Looking forward to seeing how we all get on! Re. vitamins.. Wilkos do 'pregnancy' vits that have all the main contenders - folic acid, B vits, no vitamin A etc. They're £1.95 so I'm just taking those now. Agree that branded conception vits can end up costing a fortune with long term use! May be missing out on something subtle but happy with these for now.

I'll also be due to test shortly before Christmas (I think! Currently tracking cycles to understand them better)

Sadly hoping on the Dec Bus.

TTC #3
Age 39
Cycle 5

Af arrived today. Find this TTC process very frustrating.
Taking Prenatals Vits. Ubiquinol, Vit C, E and B. Omega 3 and Vitamin D. Folate Acid. Mag/Cal/Zink
Drinking Raspberry leaf tea up to Ovulation to help thicken lining. Drinking cough mixture over fertile week to increase CM. And eating one whole pineapple for 5 dpo to help with implantation. Also have been going to reflexology for the last two months. 1st Month went 1 a week. 2nd month during AF and During fertile week. Will do the same this month and then I’m over Reflex.
Went to a fertility specialist last month. My prolactin levels were ridiculously high affecting the thickness of the endometrium lining - it was only 3.5mm. He put me on Dostinex - half a tab twice a week. Lining them thickened to 7,6mm. But still no pregnancy.
DP got his swimmers checked out and are all fine except slightly immature. So he has been put on Staminagrow to help with that. We also had to DTD before I went to have a scan on CD 13 to do a mucus test. Seemed a little below average but acceptable.

So we start again! And hope for the best.

Oops. BFP 10th Dec

Im in my TTW and its day 1 of the wait and it is killing me. DTD every other day which i hope wasn't too much or too little. Been off the pill since August. First month ttc... we'll see! I'm starving though, like unusually starving. Keep having to remind myself it could be my lack of food shopping and i've been living off remnants in fridge rather than actual meals... TTW is so long!

Hi everyone! I'm about to ovulate this weekend...fingers crossed that fifth time's a charm. Have only gone and got a stupid UTI from all the baby dancing though. Bleurgh! How is everyone getting along? X

Hi ladies looking forward to the weekend?! I'm not yet in fw however pre warned hubby we are dtd haha! After trying this long I am still trying to have that spark lol trying but not trying if you know what I mean.
Feeling good as it's Friday but another day another baby bomb one of my friends on her second so all I can do is like the picture and try and be happy for them
Have a good weekend all xxx

Hopping on the bus for the first time 😁

AF due 5th December.
