@ceebee21 Hopefully You will get a really nice surprise Xmas eve. It is stressful but all we can do is try and try again. xx

@TunnocksTcake Congrats such a nice early Xmas present xxx

@Tamalama I stopped going to the gym the last 2 months to see if that made a difference and it didn't so back to the gym now since monday and going to concentrate on that DTD every 2nd day of FW and hope I get my BFP soon. I honestly don't think the drinking affects anything!! I'm looking forward to a nice few drinks over Xmas. So are you due AF 26th Dec so? xx

ceebee21 · 18/12/2019 12:38

@TunnocksTcake thank you! I had quite a good temp rise this morning, so that makes me feel a bit more relaxed... can only wait and see now.

@BFP2020 thanks, I hope so too, I guess either way just have to enjoy Christmas and the festive period xx

Tamalama · 22/12/2019 10:06

How is everyone doing? I'm 10dpo today but I'm sure I'm out. Went to my works Christmas party on Thursday and drank a fair amount and I was out again last night and also drank quite a bit so I reckon I'm out. I'm due to come on on Wednesday so if I doesn't arrive then I'll be doing dry January and hopefully 2020 will be my year 😊 ttc during the Christmas period is really hard 😕

ChampooPapi · 22/12/2019 11:09

@Tamalama I'm in the same boat as you, currently 10 days post ovulation (but that's only a rough guess as I'm not doing ovulation sticks). Also drank a shed load Friday night as a friend came down and had a boozy Christmasy thing earlier in the week.

Always do dry Jan, sometimes Feb too so will feel a lot better ttc over those months if it doesn't work out for me either this month. I'm TTC my third anyway so not in a huge rush and I'm only 32 so there is time!

Funny enough though although I've gone way over my boozing quota for a normal month I did the same when I conceived my first daughter so 🤷‍♀️

ChampooPapi · 22/12/2019 11:11

@Tamalama are you going to test the end of next week if no af shows?

Tamalama · 22/12/2019 12:04

@ChampooPapi yeah, I guess you just never can tell with these things, i think my dd was conceived after I'd gone out to a party. I'm ttc baby number 2, I found out NYE last year that I was pregnant but I had a mc mid January 😕 we gave it a few months before trying again and we're now on cycle 10. I turn 39 next Friday so I'm aware that time isn't on my side! Having said that, I had my dd a month before I turned 36.
I did actually test yesterday using frer just to see if I should have a few drinks. It was obviously a bfn. It was probably too early to take the test and i took it in the evening before I went out, and I know it's best to use fmu. I will test again if af doesn't arrive on time, not too keen to do it on Friday though because it's my birthday 🙈

Tamalama · 22/12/2019 13:29

@BFP2020 sorry, I only just saw your message! Af is due on Christmas Day! Not sure how I feel about that... how are you getting on?

ceebee21 · 22/12/2019 19:17

No news here. Due Christmas Day, have ic’s arriving tomorrow, so will use them over the next few days. No symptoms tbh, so reckon I am out xx

Tamalama · 23/12/2019 09:02

@ceebee21 af due on Christmas Day for me too. Boobs have been sore last couple of days, especially today but they're still squishy. I've woken up with a slight sore throat, but it's that time of year so it probably doesn't mean anything, plus I've got some cramping, so I think I'll be out too xx

Tamalama · 24/12/2019 10:26

12dpo, boobs are really sore and tingly today but still squishy. I've not have pain/sensations like this before. I did in early pregnancy but boobs were much firmer. I've got a few af cramps and backache today so I suspect I'm out, it's only the sore boobs that are giving me hope! They're making me feel quite uncomfortable 😕 I'm due on tomorrow...

SoshoSnow · 24/12/2019 11:05

I'm out 😔 AF arrived a day early yesterday, just as I was heading out for an 8+ hour coach journey 👍. Good luck to everyone else!! X

Tamalama · 24/12/2019 11:39

@SoshoSnow I'm sorry to hear that 😕

Tamalama · 24/12/2019 14:56

I think I'm out, pre af headache and shakes have kicked in. Plus I did an frer earlier on and bfn 😕

SoshoSnow · 24/12/2019 15:29

@Tamalama Thank you 😊 Sorry for you too if that's the case 😕. Fingers crossed for everyone next month! X

Tamalama · 26/12/2019 10:02

As expected, af has arrived. I woke with awful pain from my vagina all the way round to my rectum and my back feels like it's on fire 😕 I've taken a prescribed painkiller for period pain but it's not kicked in yet and my hot water bottle hasn't really helped either. We're meant to be going to see family at midday, I'm just hoping this intense pain passes by then.

BFP2020 · 26/12/2019 15:38

@Tamalama sorry to hear I keep checking in to see was anyone lucky enough but just trying to forget about TTC at the moment it's so hard though 🙈

Tamalama · 26/12/2019 22:27

@BFP2020 yeah it's hard to focus on anything else. Ttc is so hard 😕 are you on another bus for January? Where are you in your cycle at the moment?

swirls3468 · 26/12/2019 22:37

Hi I am TTC January is there a link? I have been off the pill a while now and would be nice to have some support and chat with people in similar situation.
Hope to hear off you girls.
Charlotte

ceebee21 · 27/12/2019 00:11

Hi all, hope you are doing OK. Sorry to those who AF has turned up.

I for a Bfp on an Frer this morning at 12dpo... Bit tentative as my last one ended in a MMC, but fingers crossed this one sticks xx

Tamalama · 27/12/2019 09:30

@ceebee21 congratulations!! Keeping everything crossed for you 😊🤞 x

BFP2020 · 27/12/2019 10:42

@Tamalama I'm on CD 13 today so I'm FW DTD every 2nd day on the even numbers last month so trying the odd numbers this month started later than usual though on CD 11. It is so hard this is month 12 for me now so the tests will be starting in jan 🙈

BFP2020 · 27/12/2019 10:43

@ceebee21 congratulations 🥳 x

@ceebee21 big fat congrats, you must be over the moon. I've seen you on this thread and that the last few months and I can only say when I saw your post I just thought 'oh my god this is huge for her!'

All the best to you and your partner

ChampooPapi · 27/12/2019 16:06

@swirls3468 one should pop up soon, I'll be jumping on board the January thread too as got my period today. Only on cycle three so here hoping January is the one for us. I will link the smep thread as it's supportive and very welcoming, as well as being grounded

ceebee21 · 27/12/2019 16:07

@ChampooPapi thank you, although am thinking it may be a chemical as hasn't got any darker today, guess I just have to wait until tomorrow, but not overly hopeful xx
