Af has arrived today just as I knew it bloody would. Still fucking gutted mind. I know it was only cycle 1 and I knew I was out already but still had a glimmer of hope. I have a sinking feeling inside it may never happen now I'm quite good with my instincts being true. Don't know how people deal with this blow month after month. Sorry for the winge guys Sad

Frillyfarmer · 09/12/2018 11:42

I’ll join as I’m fairly sure I’m out - AF due tomorrow and a BFN this morning for me.

TTC#2
Cycle#4 I think
28

Still BF my first at night, so I’m just trying to nail down my cycle, will do OPK this month.

kashleesi · 09/12/2018 16:18

Hii...I’m officially out this month Xmas Sad
Ttc 1
27
Cycle 4 (although we’ve not actually managed to dtd on actual ovulation day yet so I’m trying to reassure myself with that-and annoyed at wasting time!)

WatchingTheWheels85 · 09/12/2018 16:39

I'm going all out with preseed, cb ovulation tests, grapefruit juice q10 tablets this month.

Jess123s · 09/12/2018 18:07

I’ve never heard of the grapefruit juice thing! We’ve just taking his and her vitamins. I have tried tracking for the past couple of months but I’m too inconsistent so Just going to see how things go this month.. anyone been tracking bbt?

WatchingTheWheels85 · 09/12/2018 18:10

Ooh I'm adding a thermometer to my list..any links to decent ones?

bea179 · 09/12/2018 19:17

DP and I are taking his & her conception vitamins but that's all!
I've downloaded flo and Ovia, but have only input information this month - will use thermometers and ovulation tests in a few months if nothing happens I think.

Willowjasmine · 09/12/2018 19:20

So I'm kind of hoping I'm not on this bus after all... On CD35 and usually that's the latest AF due. Debating whether or not to test tomorrow? Only have cb digital at home though! Argh dont know what to do and don't want to tell DH I'm considering testing as I don't want to get his hopes up. My hopes are already up and I know it's gonna feel so shit to get a bfn again. Should I just want a few more days???

Willowjasmine · 09/12/2018 19:21

*wait a few more days!

Gri80 · 09/12/2018 19:26

i guess im a newbie too...

TTC #1
Cycle not one yet just stopped mini pill

Fingers crossed for all of you and i hope it doesnt take us that long xx

Gri80 · 09/12/2018 19:27

i think its TTC#3 for me
newbie i said :)

StarlightIntheNight · 09/12/2018 19:30

Aunt Flo currently here. Next one is due around 1st of Jan, so count me in on the January bus!

bea179 · 09/12/2018 19:33

@Willowjasmine don't use up your cb! Can you get to a shop tomorrow to get a cheaper test?

Willowjasmine · 09/12/2018 19:36

@bea179 I could try and get to boots first thing and get a frer - if I can manage to hold in my fmu 😂 I can just imagine though as soon as I take the test AF is going to arrive. Definitely didn't want to waste my expensive cb especially as I've heard they're not as sensitive

bea179 · 09/12/2018 19:55

@Willowjasmine hahah oh no! Can't you wee in a container in the morning and test it when you get back from boots? Grin

Willowjasmine · 09/12/2018 19:58

@bea179 oh yeah i guess I could! Been a bit stupid - decided to do an opk as have seen a few people get a positive when they're pregnant. Of course it was negative. Feel a bit deflated so now just thinking I'll wait a few days as AF will certainly just arrive late. And then back on the Jan bus for sure!

WildFlower2018 · 10/12/2018 10:35

Hello, I sadly have to hop on the Jan bus. AF arrived this morning 🧙‍♀️😖

Technically cycle #3 of TTC. We conceived in June on our first try, but sadly it wasn't meant to be (I don't want to type it all out again, but basically our only option was to TFMR at 13 weeks). We were only given the all clear to start again in December (eg wasn't a genetic problem just bad luck) but no luck cycle 2. Hoping third time will be the charm.

I'm 33 and don't have any other children.

My next FW falls slap bang in the middle of Christmas week and my mum will be staying with us 😱😱. My house is small and I've never been able to sneak around, even as a teenager. Cue lots of joking with DH about ways to "get the job done" without my mum hearing e.g.) we could use the turkey baster after we've done with it for Christmas dinner. (Don't worry - that's not a real option!!)

Has anybody else encountered similar problems in the past (family staying or staying with family) and had to be sneaky so they didn't miss the window?

😊😊

sleighride5 · 10/12/2018 11:07

@WildFlower2018 We are the same... visiting family and right at the tail end of FW. So its going to have to be a bit sneaky and VERY quiet. Although in all fairness, if my MIL knew we were trying I'm sure she would play barry white whilst forcing us up the stairs.

It's the trying to limit my alcohol at Christmas whilst visiting a boozy family that's going to do be the struggle. I'm trying to be good to give everything a helping hand and am failing miserably at the moment. It is almost Christmas after all.

WildFlower2018 · 10/12/2018 12:39

@sleighride5 hahaha, hilarious!

I hadn't really thought of alcohol limiting but I'm not a massive drinker anyway. I'll probably have a glass or two of wine over the week.

My problem will be cups of tea!!! Me and my mum drink so much tea when we're together and apparently, caffeine might be one reason why implantation can fail. It's not meant to be good for TTC at all so I must cut down.

Incidentally, the first month I conceived I drank next to no tea at all because we were in Portugal and I couldn't find any milk on the first day, so we just drank one or two black teas each morning and juice/water after that! (And stuck with it because it was nice!) then in the 2ww I just stuck to two cups a day also.

If I don't have my usual 6 cups a day with my mum when she visits, she'll wonder what's going on!!! I could tell her but I don't want to tell anybody anything at the minute. I will have to get lots of schloer and elderflower and juice "in for Christmas" and just pretend I fancy them instead 🙂🙂🙂

WildFlower2018 · 10/12/2018 12:41

Oops in my earlier message it should read we were given the all clear to try again in November.

sleighride5 · 10/12/2018 12:55

@WildFlower2018 I know what you mean about tea, I've been unbelievably good and cut down to one cup a day, which was a lot easier to manage in the summer. Now it's cold and chilly I am missing my 4/5 cups I used to easily get through.

WatchingTheWheels85 · 10/12/2018 12:57

I think we possibly chatted under my old username @WildFlower2018 regarding your tfmr I went through the same and my daughter was born a year to the day later.

WildFlower2018 · 10/12/2018 17:40

@sleighride5 Might we have to... START DRINKING DECAF 😱😱

Hello again @WatchingTheWheels85 hoping for BFPs for us both xx
