Praying for a December conception

[Leah2501]

Who else is praying to conceive this month?
I’m on CD 1 so I’m praying I conceive this month. Had copper coil removed just over a month ago now, and we avoided conceiving last month as hubby didn’t want an August baby (he’s an aug bub himself)
I’ve always been regular with my cycle and regular with ovulation (continued tracking while on coil) so hoping we get lucky 🤞🏼

Hi, am I alright to join. I'm currently 11dpo and I'm driving myself nuts. Symptoms spotting like mad took a test 7dpo BFN, no surprise. Just finding it so confusing every twinge, cramps or pain I'm googling if that's a sign of pregnancy. Some days I'm certain I'm going to get my Christmas BFP and other days I just know AF is gonna show her big ugly head........It doesn't help that most of the signs are the same as PMS either.
Fingers crossed for you all x

Me. I had a chemical last month with a heavier than normal af, at the normal time. Have had spotting on and off since then and hoping that doesn't effect ttc this month. 2 days until predicted ovulation.
Good luck everyone xx

@Mammoonbeam, I hope this is your month xx

@bitheby I’m so sorry, I know the feeling

@DOB78 thank you _ fingers crossed for you too! How's the symptom spotting going?

Hi to everyone else who has joined! Desperately waiting for AF to finish so we can get the baby making going 😆

@Mamamoonbeam I seem to be having every symptom under the sun but could be wishful thinking.
My dog has been really weird the last few days too usually shes all for OH but the last 3 days shes following me around and keeps lying across my stomach or in between my legs if I sit down????
I'm still hoping for a BFP but have to just wait till at least Monday if AF doesn't show Sunday.
How's things with you?

Hello! This is my first ever post on Mumsnet. :)

Leah2501, we are so same. I also had copper coil out 1 month ago. Last month we were "care free" (read: careless) on 3 occasions and I was only mildly disappointed to see just 1 blue line. Also because I am August baby and having to share my birthday with my Mum every year is not something I want to repeat for my little'un.

I'm a control freak, an engineer and maths & stats graduate... so naturally, I'm adopting a graphs-and-charts approach from day one. Not for any reason other than to give my obsessive personality that feeling of control. Everything is project for me - I'm the lady that writes lists of lists.

Desperate to catch this month and it's only month 1. Is it normal that I'm thinking about it at least once every minute? I keep drifting away during conference calls....

Does anyone else already have a "note" saved on their phone of baby names? I'm so ashamed of this little reveal.

@squidglet. I love you little reveal thats awesome!!! Its so difficult not to think of the "whats ifs" isn't it. I've already picked out a pram and nursery furnitureiys just sitting in my basket waiting........
I love how organised you are!!! I'm trying not to track too much or I think I would absolutely crack up

Welcome @Squidglet !
We’re so similar! I’m definitely a control freak too. I’m tracking in the form of ovulation sticks only. I’m not patient enough to do temps, I think I’d get annoyed watching the temp fall.

@DOB78 When I was pregnant with my first child my dog noticed first. I noticed she wouldn’t leave me alone and get laying her hair on my stomach - she’d never done it previously. All made sense when I had my BFP.

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

@Leah2501 also not using temps... YET! Ha ha.

@DOB78 I have not picked out all of my imaginary child's imaginary furniture yet but I am already visualising imaginary situations where I parade bump or baby around. The nice thing is that my hair looks fantastic in all of these fantasies.

(Cut to real life. Doh.)

Um, not sure if this is the right place to talk about this but, I am eldest (now early 30s) and always been very career minded. Been planning this new phase of my life for... Oh, I don't know, best part of a decade. Been looking forward to TTC all of 2020. (Waiting due to work commitments and moving house!)

Last year, my "baby brother" (8 years my junior) met a new lady and they announced pregnancy at my birthday "party" (socially distanced) this summer. They were 4 weeks at that point. Since then it's been a whirlwind and I just want to bury my head in the sand.

I'm not totally fond of his gf, I'll admit. (We're polar opposites.) But the anger I'm feeling is so unlike me. I feel robbed and cheated and... jealous... and sad. Is this normal? Have I turned into a demon at the mere thought of becoming pregnant? Has anyone else felt like this?

God, I feel so horrible. Nice to say it though. Anonymity is priceless right now...

@Leah2501 shes never been around me when I was pregnant with my other 2, now 16 and 20. So I'm hopeful shes picking up on something that or shes as potty as I am!!
@squidglet Hahaha I couldn't help it the website just popped up and I got over involved in the whole thing!!! I'm sorry to hear that you feel like this I hated my ex Sis in Law for the majority of the 25yrs she was in my life. Made for interesting family get togethers though😃

How is everyone getting on?

I'm CD14 and I feel like this month is going so slow. Still waiting to get a peak opk!

I'm 7dpo so half way through the tww, I've had cramp every day since od and it's getting worse by the day, keep thinking af is coming. Just wish time would hurry up so I can test lol

Hope i am ok to join currently 8 dpo. Yesterday i noticed i had a snotty/gummy like CM that was clear with white streaks which i found unusual for me as its normally just the standard creamy white CM. Sorry for TMI, trying not to get my hopes up but just a bit confused by it haha. 5days til AF is due so 🤞 to everyone for this month x

I'm waiting to ov, on cd6 here 👍 normally ov around cd12 so will start the opks in a couple of days. I've been taking Ubiquinol for a week now, was taking Co enzyme q10 before but I've upgraded 😁 also have the Ferti Lilly Cup to try 😂

@Dreamer30 @Katiecorn not long for you both to wait 🤞

@ilookatthefloor @rumples hope it goes in quick for you ladies and you can get to dtd lol

@rumples ye i know pretty nervous tbh would love nothing more but trying to stay level headed and not get my hopes up 😊

I think I’m 10 dpo today. Did a Tesco own test this morning and checked it a while later and saw the faintest of lines but think it was an evap line.

I was so moody yesterday and my boobs are looking full but could easily be period. I haven’t been testing this early since god knows when. I know I won’t be able to resist doing a FRER tomorrow as some have arrived today.

Good luck to us all!!

I’ve been using opk’s, I think I’m now 4 dpo. Time really does go so slow, life is currently dictated and constantly focused on ttc! I’ve been using the paper strip opk’s - hope I’m using them right! Is there anything else that can be used or any other suggestions? Really hoping for some good news on here soon ☺️🤞🏼

I’m on CD 8 now, based on previous cycles I’m expecting my peak to happen in 7 days time. Hopefully it happens around then so I can test Christmas morning when I’ll be 11DPO 🤞🏼

Hi everyone hope you don't mind me jumping on the thread!
So I came off the pill 5/6weeks ago and me and hubby started trying for baby #3 still negative test this morning, no idea when I ovulate or last period as I haven't had one in 5 years since before my daughter was born.
Usually if I even miss a pill I get abit of bleeding though but this time nothing I'm really hoping for good news very soon 🤞🤞

So we last dtd 1week ago today I'm feeling so emotional crying over nothing really and stomach cramps, to early to tell do you think ?

How's everyone getting on with symptoms? Has anyone given to temptation and early tested 🙈

Currently 10dpo but my app says my period is due tomorrow (a little messed up this month as I had a chemical last month)

@charlxx what are the symptoms of early conception? I think I am 5 dpo and due on 18th December (periods are a bit messed up at the mo as I had mmc and erpc in sept but got prg first month of trying that time, first time ever trying too) - ordered an ultra early prg test which you can apparently do 6 days before you’re due??

@tuliprose2008 hope this is good news for you!!
