December bus ho ho ho

[Chanel05]

For those of us determined to get a bfp before end of 2018 and celebrating Christmas without any alcohol!

TTC: no 1
Cycle: 5
Cycle day: 1
AF/BFP due: 4th December

I meant now! Not not!

Been quiet, been stressed out with somethings. Bought OPKs last month. No idea where I put them. Haven't had much time to even think about it. Coincidentally DTD on ovulation day according to my app 😂 hoping to get a few more in. I'll read back now and see what everyone's been up to ☺️

Hello all - joined this thread ages ages then forgot to come back to it!

@PaintingOwls sorry you're out this month - good luck for the next one.

@mrss2018 that's great news that you can crack on with TTC. Fingers crossed for you!

So AF is due today for me... no sign yet. Occasionally slightly crampy twinges but not the usual cramps I get when AF is on its way, and otherwise no sign. Not getting my hopes up yet as my cycle has only settled into a regular length the last 2 or 3 months, having been pretty peculiar after coming off the pill, but still...

So sorry that AF has come for some of you. Fingers crossed for January.

Still waiting for ovulation here, loads of EWCM today though so fingers crossed it happens before the weekend at my parents 🙈

@mrss2018 great news! Glad to hear everything is ok for you. 😊
Good luck with your ttc journey x

And AF arrived right before midnight!

@goldflakepaint that's amazing that you don't poas unnecessarily cos it's an expensive habit to uphold. I really try not to but if I'm off work and at home it's just too tempting.
Since I last spoke we have had a few moments where the pressure really got to my DH so I've really had to take the foot off the pedal. I think the pressure has got to him as he thinks it's down to him to give me a baby and I stupidly went on about how much I want one moments before not thinking about the affects it's having on him. So I'm gonna finish doing my OPKs this cycle as I still haven't got a static smiley yet and I'm CD17 and I will continue to temp cos again I've never had a solid month where they make sense so I'm almost making it a personal goal (sad I know) but other than that we are just gonna literally carry on as we did before when we was using condoms.
How long are your cycles?
I have read somewhere that sometimes you can get ewcm later on in your cycle (and this can be a good sign or just something that happens) not to be really bloody unhelpful! But I've literally googled every single possible symptom. I've never been able to check my cervix! That's so good you can do that. Not sure where I'm looking 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Sorry to hear that @Needadoughnut! Fx 2019 brings you your BFP!

I've been crampy on and off, no AF yet and not due til tues next week. All
I can think is implantation??

Hi ladies, first time commenting but I’ve been reading threads on here for close to a year now!

TTC #1
Cycle 3 after MC in September and Cycle 10 in total
Age 29
CD 22

Wanted to comment as I’m in exactly the same position as you Seahawk- cramping all day on and off. Light pink spotting when I first got up this morning but nothing since so also not sure if it’s just AF arriving early or possible implantation. This was also our first month trying SMEP and OPK. Fingers crossed it’s implantation for us bothe but trying not to get my hopes up!!

Welcome @Kb28 it's so hard isn't it! Dr google says implantation cramps are uncommon but do happen. Plus I have sore boobs this morning which I had really early on with DS, in fact it was what made me test (long story but had been trying for a long time, irregular cycles and had 2 scans for pcos that month and wrongly assumed that if I was pregnant they would see something). Desperately trying not to get my hopes up
And thinking how dull a booze free Xmas will be - especially as we are hosting the in laws!

Good luck to everyone in the TWW!

Still haven’t ovulated and DH is pretty much refusing to dtd anymore this month. What a mess. Writing December off. I guess at least I can drink at Christmas.

Sorry @needadoughnut always sad to be out.
@seahawk maybe? Fingers crossed
@mrslbear & @goldflakepaint I check my cervix! Was one of my first signs with DS, cervix was really soft just as AF was due when normally it's firm. I'm 7/8dpo and it's currently firm but high. Never checked this early so don't what that means. I might stop checking as I'll just drive myself crazy. I don't think it's a reliable sign anyway.

Sorry he's not cooperating @ronniemipperton! I am focusing on a good Christmas drink if we're out, and if we're in I'd end up telling both our families stupidly early.

Thanks @Moncwf. I don’t blame him, neither of us have a very high sec drive at the best of times let alone when I’ve spent the past 12 days saying “I think I’m about to ovulate, we need to dtd now...”

@ronniemipperton it's so hard isn't it. I guess in the olden days people never had sex before marriage and then they had babies straight away as they wanted to do it all the time!

How accurate are Asda pink dye tests? I'm on cycle 14 and it feels too good to be true!

Had sore boobs for nearly 2 weeks now and I was due on today. Had some light cramps on and off ....

HELP don't wanna get my hopes up!

Wow @xLauraa that looks positive to me! I don't know anything about Asda tests but it's super rare to get a false positive! Congratulations!!

@Seahawk80 is it really? I hope you're right🙈 I've just bough 2 FRERs and 2 digital ClearBlue tests! 😂

FRER 😭
Gonna do again in morning to see if it's darker!!

@xLauraa I can see a line!!!!!!!!

@xLauraa - I definitely see a line!!!!!

@xLauraa I see it too!

@bunhead34 @loveshinealight @MrsLBear 🤞🏼🤞🏼 can't wait until the morning to see if it's darker! I'm in utter shock after 14 months of BFNs!

@xLauraa i can def see a line on both of them 🤗😁

@seahawk I also woke up with sore boobs this morning which is unusual for me before AF so I bought a first response test - think it’s really really faintly BFP but convincing myself I imagined it but will test in morning with fmu as Ive a few nights out this weekend so want to be sure before I drink any alcohol.

Congrats @xLauraa !!! Here’s to a darker line tomorrow
