December bus!

[Blondie87]

Hi!

Didn't manage to conceive last month so now it's time to try for a December baby! Anyone else want to join? On CD 4 so I'm feeling positive about a new start! I'm ttc no3.

@scarlet congratulations 🥳🥳

6-7dpo today and feeling a bit despondent. No idea why because it’s still very early days but just feeling like this month isn’t going to be my month 😕🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you, Its not ridiculous at all @starfish83 The symptoms are so similar to early preg and waiting for af. When I stopped bf and came off the pill it took quite a few weeks for my first af but i was using opks in the wait and i ovulated, so you can ovulate before first af.
Hopeful for you that it was too early to test and im sorry about the bfn. 🌸

Thank you @hopefulprincess and I see something in the second picture... i dont know how to tweak, sorry.

@deathbycats its such a hard time emotionally ttc isnt it... a friend of mine said they need to invent a test to let u know when you have concieved to save the tww! Would be great 😊 I hope this is your month!

Thank you for your understanding, chips and scarlet - I felt so silly and am feeling a bit better a few days on. I’m going to see it as a positive sign that my cycles seem to be sorting themselves and hopefully I can work our cycle days, etc. once I get back on the OPKs.

hopefulprincess, sorry that I can’t tweak 🤦🏼‍♀️ but how are you doing? Fingers crossed for you.

deathbycats, sending solidarity. It might happen! Look after yourself and have a little treat - a nice bath, some delicious food, do your nails... as scarlet said, it’s such an emotional time.

Huge congratulations to you @scarletrose18 !! It really does give me so much hope when you see BFPs appear on here! What a lovely early Christmas gift. Do you know how far along you are? And I will try the pineapple trick next cycle if needed (smile)

AF is due on Sunday (Mother's Day) so 4 days away. I'm going to hold out and take the test that morning. I really am so hopeful this cycle. Only symptoms I'm clinging onto are that my boobs are tender, I've had white, lotion-type CM for a week now, and my cervix is high and closed (although is also firm which I'm not sure is a good sign).

With my DD, I had no symptoms until a week after I got my BFP, although I wasn't monitoring my body either so would've missed CM and cervix info. So, this does feel like a really different experience this time round. Fingers crossed for you all on here! I hope my next post has some good news to share

And @deathbycats I can really relate, this is our ninth month trying and I've felt real lows this month of sadness just thinking that it isn't going to happen again for us. It's so difficult to stay positive, especially with the 2WW which is such a killer. Hoping this is your month too and that you'll have a nice surprise soon.

I think I’m a certifiable idiot doing a test at 6-7dpo 🙈😂 it’s entirely possible I’m only 5dpo based on the 36 hour window!

Ahhh deathbycats I regularly do ICs at 5DPO so no judgement here! I can't see anything on that pic but obviously it's very very very early. Fingers crossed you get a nice clear one soon tomorrow

DH went out for the evening so naturally I’m blaming him for this because I was bored in his absence 😂

I hear you deathbycats! I came home to my amazon delivery of pregnancy tests and couldn't resist. At 7dpo..... Negative (what a surprise!)

For some reason I feel optimistic this cycle even though I'm sure it's wishful thinking! I've had three friends announce their pregnancies recently so clearly people do get pregnant 😂

I’m trying to be optimistic! If we weren’t successful this month I don’t think we will be next month - I’m due to O on DH’s first day off in that part of his shift pattern for April, and I very much doubt he’ll be up for any DTD after work in the last couple of days of his stretch in 😕

@wjscjh I am 4 weeks today.
Not long until test day now for you! I think it can take a while after conception before the cervix goes soft so being high could be a good sign. 🙂

@deathbycats how rude of dh to cause you to do this by being out... completely his fault 😂😂

@blondie I think testing early was very sensibe because you needed to try them out and ensure they work for testing in a few days time... would of been irresponsible of you not to 😂😂

@hopefulprincess did you test again since that test?

How are you feeling Scarlett?

This mornings waste of £1 😂 I’ve only got one early test left so I’ll hold onto it until Sunday, which will be 10DPO —or use it tomorrow anyway—

I had bloods done and just been told another chemical :( tests are still the same very faint! And hcg should have risen from first ones so guess it’s onto month 14 😢

Oh I'm sorry hopefulprincess. Hope you're ok and have some support irl xx

I’m so sorry, hopeful. 💐 Hope you’re doing OK. x

@blondie87 Im fine thank you. I dont feel anything at all which is a little unerving but I suppose im grateful I dont have ms yet.
How are you? Have you tested again?

I think quite a few on this thread must be close to test dates now. Hoping for everyone!

@hopefulprincess Im sorry to hear about your cp. Are you ok? 😕 I have heard that the cycle after you can be more fertile, so I hope that next month is your cycle for a lovely Jan baby. Sending you baby dust and a hug 💖💖

I couldn't sleep so I tested and now I can't sleep for staring that this real squintier!

Control line is quite far over but there a very faint something. Due on my period today/tomorrow so not sure if it should be darker. Can anyone else see it!?

@Hopefulprincess I'm so sorry 😔 xx

@blondie87 My lines eyes are crap!!🤞 for you tho xx

Confirmed BFP on Clearblue this morning! Hope those testing soon get the desired result.
