End of Dec bus (hopefully a lucky bus)!!!!

[Sophieb15]

Hey all I am here awhile so really hoping for a christmas surprise but not getting my hopes up. Busy couple of weeks ahead so no OPK's for me just DTD every second day from CD 8 - CD 20

Stats
TTC no 2
Cycle 11
AF due 17th Dec

I’m feeling a bit fed up today. My boss's wife had their baby yesterday, the managing director messaged me earlier on today to ask me to put it up on head office chat and share a photo, which is fine but obviously I’m sensitive about these things after the mc in January. The HR lady, who has 3 kids and only talks about herself, then comes in to the office and very kindly says that as you get older your eggs aren’t that good, and that I was lucky to have my dd at the age of 35. (I turned 36 the following month) Thanks…. It’s not like I’m still trying or anything. I'll be 39 at the end of the month, so comments like that, or after any baby loss really regardless of age are not that helpful! Oh, and she knew about my mc too, so really unhelpful comments! I've just had a good cry in the toilets. I don't know if I'm feeling over sensitive because I'm ov at the moment (I think) and that I found out I was pregnant last year on New Year's Eve, so the anniversary of that is obviously coming up soon...

@Tamalama I just assumed I would be day 15 again, but no, apparently not!!!!

Just want it to happen and be in the TWW, I mean it would be amazing if a BFP on Xmas day, but depressing for a BFN... guess can then drink!!

[Tamalama]

@ceebee21 yes, I know what you mean about Christmas Day! It's so annoying with ov dates, that's why I have given up on opks. The window for getting a positive opk test is so short really. Last time I got negative in the morning and a strong positive that afternoon 🤦‍♀️ fingers crossed you ov soon 😊

[Sophieb15]

@SoshoSnow It only takes once so as long as you get DTD done in fertile window you have a chance. Fingers crossed for a really nice surprise xmas eve xx

@Tamalama Hello how are you? You should be covered so. lets hope for a lucky month. I'm being very good no symptom spotting because I get so many different things each month. Expecting AF to arrive Monday right on time. Are you all sorted for xmas?

@ceebee21 remind me again are you using CB?

[ceebee21]

@Sophieb15

Well yes, I am temping as well, and used my last few CB digitals this week - latest was a flashing smiley yesterday.

Now have IC to use up... but they are nowhere near positive, although I have never had a positive using those!!!

xx

[Sophieb15]

@Tamalama Just try take no notice I know it's so hard. 39 isn't old women have babies in their 40's. I'm only 30 and i'm on cycle 11 so Honestly don't think age comes in to it too much. And it took me 2 years to have my daughter we started trying at 23( didn't use OPK's or try properly just didn't prevent) Its just easier for some people to get pregnant and harder for others. People can be so insensitive though i've had a few cries over the last few months as well. My sister got pregnant first month on her 3rd in August and and when she was 12 weeks I literally got AF that morning and I called to my mothers and my aunt was there and she congratulated my sister( which was fine) but then turned to me rubbed my shoulder and said you have loads of time I literally lost it couldn't stop crying for the whole day on and off.

Def felt the stress lifted alot not using Opks we DTD CD8,10,12,14,16,19 had O pain from CD 14-Cd16 so I ovulated one of those days.

I'm def seeing the brightside that if AF does arrive Monday then I can have a nice few glasses of wine around xmas. Obviously would prefer a BFP!!!!

[Sophieb15]

@ceebee21 My O date isn't the same every month I don't think anyones is mine Varies from CD 15 - CD 18 so I wouldn't stress about that. x

[SoshoSnow]

@Sophieb15 Thank you! I understand that the TWW is annoying and frustrating, but now that I'm actually in it myself, OMG! What a very slow drag of time! 😂. I keep trying to distract myself but it's hard when I've got a few work Xmas do's and I'm turning down drinks and it's all so awkward 🙈. I have my company Xmas do tonight and I'm planning on just sneaking out when the meal is done 😂. I hope time flies by soon 😩 xx

[Tamalama]

How's everyone doing? I'm around 3dpo today and feeling ok at the moment, no symptom spotting at the moment! That usually starts around 6-7dpo 😂

[Sophieb15]

@Tamalama AF arrived this morning so I'm onto cycle 12 x

[Tamalama]

@Sophieb15 I'm sorry to hear that 😕 are you ok? X

[Sunflower2019]

Me too @Sophieb15 I’m onto cycle 6 😩 another 6 months and I can go to gp but I’ve had bloods so what else is left 🤷‍♀️ Don’t understand why it’s so hard.. wasn’t on the pill for a while and took the morning after pill a couple of times.. dunno why I bothered now 😂 xx

[MissCEngland]

Sorry ladies @Sophieb15 @Sunflower19. It’s so disappointing when AF shows up every month. You just have to keep faith that it will happen when it’s meant to. Sending lots of love xx

[Blondeandbroody]

I'm about 11dpo now if Ovia is correct and af due on Wednesday. I've taken a few too many tests lol and all been negative except for a shadow of a line on one a couple days ago but since then. Negative FRER. Struggling with these last few days because now I'm paranoid every time I go to the loo I'll see that AF has arrived.

Had cramps since last night on and off sometimes mild sometimes like I'm being stabbed with a hot poker lol!

No other symptoms including no sore boobs which are always sore before AF!

Is it even worth me making a vow to not test early or symptom spot next cycle? Haha

[TunnocksTcake]

Sorry to those that the witch has got
I am 11dpo today, had a weird weekend of feeling very tired and headachey and sleeping LOADS and just feeling a bit off.
We shall see in a few days. My temp is still high and looking back it normally starts declining today...

[BFP2020]

@Tamalama I've changed my name to see if it will bring me some luck :)
I'm ok. Fingers crossed for you :) How you feeling today?

@Sunflower2019 I'm on month 12 but even after 12 months they don't do much. I've already had my bloods checked and I'm def ovulating. My OH is going to get his sperm checked next. The doctor does suspect I have Endo and has referred me already to get that checked out but It will be Feb before I get an app I dunno should I just go private now and not wait any longer.

[ceebee21]

HI All,

I seemed to have OV's later this month - I think Saturday PM / Sunday early morning... so going with 2DPO at the moment, and think I will test on Monday/Tuesday... hope everyone is doing ok.

it is all so depressing not seeing a BFP, and also when OV is delayed xx

[TunnocksTcake]

Guys guys I'm 12dpo and still had high temps, bought a lid of frers on the amazon deal so thought why not and look! I can't believe it I'm sat in my bed staring at it expecting the line to disappear!!

[Tamalama]

@TunnocksTcake that's brilliant! Congratulations!!

@BFP2020 I like the name change, hopefully you'll get your BFP in January 😊 I'm not too bad, I think I'm 5dpo today. I had 2 ic opks left from last month so I thought I'd use them up. I usually ov around cd13, I used it last Wednesday at cd13 and got a positive reading. I used the last one on Thursday and line was fainter, so I'm guessing I ov on Thursday. Therefore I'm counting Friday as 1dpo which would put me at 5dpo. Got some ovary pain and lower back pain, but to be honest I think I also had that last month, and 5po is too early to symptom spot. Throughout my 10 cycles some months I've used opks and not used them, I've had alcohol some months during tww and not drank during others. I've dtd loads in the fertile week and some months we've only dtd a couple of times. At the end of day it's a lottery so I'm just not stressing, what will be will be... x having said that, I will be sad if I don't get a bfp this month...

[Sunflower2019]

Congratulations @TunnocksTcake wonderful news xx

[MissCEngland]

@TunnocksTcake congratulations!! Amazing news, right before Christmas as well. So happy for you xx

[ceebee21]

@TunnocksTcake oh my what fantastic news.

You must be so pleased.

would you mind sharing your BBT chart with me... I am trying to temp at the moment. xx

[TunnocksTcake]

@ceebee21 sorry I have exceeded my daily limit for photos!! I will put it up tomorrow for you!

[SoshoSnow]

@TunnocksTcake Congratulations!! 😊🥳 x

[TunnocksTcake]

@ceebee21 as promised here is my chart. I stopped recording bding after fertile week but also only did it like once I really didn't feel like it.
I still don't have sore boobs for the record ladies just getting really bad headaches, the odd cramp and feel a bit out of it, like fuzzy headed! Good luck to you all, fingers crossed for many more BFPS!!
Oh and I did a digi, another frer and a cheap last night, pregnant 1-2 on digi and another line on frer but absolutely nothing on the ic cheapy just in case anyone uses them!
