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

unicornxo im same as you, not feeling too hopeful either.

Good luck @MrsP4 !

@WildFlower2018 if you managed to even kind of do smep then hopefully some sperm were hanging around for your surge . We tried for 8 months for DS and smep finally did the job! No chance of managing the energy for it this time around though!

I feel like I've been a bit absent from this thread but just had a catch up and hopefully we'll have some BFPs soon. I'm feeling positive this month, have a week off work over FW and a night away just the 2 of us for the first time since DS was born so fingers crossed!!

Fertility friend is confusing me at the moment. It says AF is due on 5th December, but recommends I test on 15th December!

Can anyone shed any light on this? I'm not sure I could wait 10 whole days!!

Thanks @Seahawk80 when is everyone die AF?

I'm not due until 19 dec - my birthday!! But think I won't test until day after as really don't want to have a bfn first thing and although I've got the day of work DH will be working and we will just have a cosy night in so not worried about being able to drink

@MrsP4 are you resisting testing this morning?? 😂

Hi all!

Cycle: 4
AF/BFP Due: December 7th

I had a miscarriage a few years ago and testing early in previous months has made things harder for me so I’m going to try to leave it until December 7th to test.

How is everyone feeling today?

@unicornxo I wasn't going to test until Friday but last night was awful I couldn't sleep went to the bathroom a few times thinking I was going to be sick so I told myself I would test this morning and it was a BFN! 😞 I just don't get it, I've had every symptom going. The boobs are the main thing because it's something I've never had and never experience with AF. Oh well, body playing tricks on me again I suppose. Glad it's out of my mind now. Just want AF to hurry up and get here now. How are you?

@MrsP4 try not to be to disappointed. How many days DPO are you? It could still be a bit early. Our bodies do sometimes play tricks on us though, it's really unfair.

I'm feeling ok but got an awful sore throat and cough. I don't feel any different really. I keep imagining I've got mild AF cramps which I've had with my previous pregnancies but I think I'm just imagining them x

@DuchessofPemberley welcome!! Fingers crossed for you x

@unicornxo I'm 10DPO can't help beating myself up about it, I had symptoms this month that I've never had before so maybe that's why I was a bit more hopeful! It's so hard because I feel like DH doesn't understand he's just like oh well maybe next month which is fine but I think I'm annoyed a little bit that I'm the one feeling every little thing and it's my body that's going to change. I haven't even told him that I've had any symptoms because I don't want to get his hopes up! So kinda feel like I'm in it on my own 😞 sorry for being negative nelly! I'm so glad we have this forums to know that we're not alone!

@MrsP4 10dpo is still really early and isn't forced to show. Did you study it for even a faint line? I do that 😂 if you're still getting symptoms I would test again in a few days x

Can I join?

Age 26
TTC #1
Cycle 1
CD 6

This is my first cycle since coming off the mini pill so have no idea when I’ll O or when AF is due. Apps are predicticing I’ll O on 6th and AF due on 21st December but we’ll see.

@unicornxo yeah I look at for that long I convince myself there's a line 🙈 here's two different pics of it white as a sheet I have to stop looking otherwise I'll drive myself round the bend!

Convinced I can see something but even if there is anything it's not pink so I'm not holding out much hope, like you said if I still keep getting symptoms I'll test again! Haven't got anymore tests at home will have to get some

@seahawk we've roughly done SMEP - fx that I'm as lucky as you & it works! And fingers crossed for your night away 😉

@MrsP4 I'm due on the 11th. I absolutely know I'll start testing early, next week. Maybe on the 5th or 6th! Sorry about your BFN. 10po is still very early though as pp said. I've read that implantation can take place up until 12days po! So in that case, a positive result wouldn't show until a few days later! I still have my FX for you.

Welcome to all the newbies!

Thanks @WildFlower2018 I know it's early I just see so many people on here getting BFP at like 9DPO AND 10 DPO. Thought I might of too! Never mind, ahh good luck!! Hope you have better outcome than me! Keep us updated! Xx

@MrsP4 I really feel for you. You do never know though...I had sore boobs with DS and it was something I'd never had before. I tested quite late though...I'm pretty irregular doe to PCOS, it was cycle 8 and I was fed up, my cycles were all over the place(one was 60 days!) my youngest sister had just announced she was pregnant with her second. I'd given up testing and AF being late was nothing new so it may just be a matter of waiting a few days. I'll keep everything crossed for you!

Anyone else about to enter FW? Mine starts Friday and I'm thinking I should jump on DH tonight to kick things off! Plan is tonight, Friday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and if we're not dead from exhaustion Thursday! Could do with a buddy to cheer me on!!

Thank you @Seahawk80 wishing you lots of luck for this cycle! Xx

Hiya can I add to the list?
Was on an October bus but ended up with a chemical after getting confusing lines/evaps then got a positive on 3rd Oct but massive bleed on the 4th.

We didn't try last month but giving a good go this month. I have pcos so using opks can be difficult as I've sometimes has 2 or 3 LH surges. I don't temp but may start after this cycle.

Ttc#3
CD20 of 34 (average)
Lost count of number of cycles this time

Due ovulation tomorrow. Had a very negative opk yesterday and nearly positive today. Dtd yesterday and will convince hubby later lol.

Does anyone think this is positive or nearly positive opk?

So AF eventually showed up. And after becoming a great aunt this week and being sent adorable photos every 20 minutes, Me n DP are now in military planning mode determined to get my BFP at the end of this month. So what's the deals with OPKs? Recommendations? How do I use them? Welcoming any advice as I've never used them but the determination is real this month. This will be my bloody month 😂

@Soberfutures I'm no expert but I'd personally think that was very very nearly positive

Thank u @WildFlower2018 I will test again this afternoon after work and pounce on the DH haha.
And I use the onestep lol from Amazon I think I got a pack of 80 last time

@Queenofmyownheart sorry about AF 🙁 if you google SMEP (sperm meets egg plan) it gives you a good plan to follow. Might be handy if you haven't already tried? You DTD every other day from CD8 and then daily from your first positive OPK test. That's roughly what we've done this month. I'll let you know in two weeks if it works 😂😂

@Soberfutures I used the same ones. Think I bought a smaller pack tho, maybe 40? I got their cheapie pregnancy tests too!
