I just thought I would start a thread for those of us that are ovulating over the festive period.... let's make it go with a swing 🥂.

I am trying for DC2, anyone else care to join me? I'm due to ovulate on the 30th.

Me! TTC our first, we "tried" last month when I got my implant removed however I've just had AF so starting for cycle 1. Ovulation due on the 30th Xmas Smile

Kay00 · 23/12/2020 19:25

Hi! I'm due to ovulate any where from Christmas to the middle of Jan (my body is a little random like that) 😆 whatever happens I plan to relax in hot baths, eat cheese, selfish and pate and drink plenty of alcohol 🍸 😜

soughsigh · 23/12/2020 19:33

@Amijustagrump getting the practise in is important. I love the TTC bit 😂.

@kay00 first time around, I was dead paranoid, stopped drinking, etc. Second time around not so much! This will be my third attempt to TTC, I lost a pregnancy earlier in the year.

I just hope its fast but also trying to stay realistic! I'm 23 and DP is 26 so we do have time on our side but still nervous. I fell pregnant back in 2018 but this will be our first!

Moocher90 · 23/12/2020 19:59

Same I’m CD10 but not sure exactly when I will ovulate could be anytime between CD14 and CD21 or if body plays tricks then later 😂😂

PurpleandOrange · 23/12/2020 20:00

Me! Currently on CD 12 and usually ovulate CD 17-20. Hoping for some good luck, it's our third cycle TTC #2, first cycle was a PUL (very scary) that resolved itself and second was a chemical.

Flowers222 · 23/12/2020 20:36

Hey! I am hoping I will ovulate around the 31st! Currently CD13, I'm a bit irregular but last couple of cycles I've ovulated between CD21-28. Though my last cycle resulted in a chemical so not sure if that will mess up my cycle this time.

I am certainly looking forward to eating and drinking all the things I shouldn't over Christmas, I've been so good since June when we started TTC and after last month's disappointment feel like I need to let loose a bit! BFPs for us all in the new year would be an amazing start to the year 😊

MayDay27 · 23/12/2020 20:51

Me! Our first month ttc I think I'll be ovulating between 31/02!

Farfaraway1 · 23/12/2020 22:56

I’ll jump in! Should ovulate some where around 28th but who knows, my body is pretty random. 🤷🏻‍♀️ - trying something a bit different this month though and going to try and regularly DTD BEFORE ovulation so there’s lots of swimmers hanging around in there ready and waiting 😂 - will see how that works out! looking forward to being able to eat and drink anything / as much as I like and not having to worry. Good luck to everyone! 💖

Christmas Day ovulation here. Seem to be bang on track as well. Had a scan today and dominant follicle is 17.5mm and another one 16mm on left ovary.

Hoping for a Christmas conception. Good luck all x

ErrolFinn · 23/12/2020 23:35

Hello, I am CD13 of cycle 4 of TTC.
I still plan to enjoy a drink and some yummy food before, fingers crossed, I don't get to for a while!

Good luck everyone!

Flowers222 · 24/12/2020 09:48

Happy Christmas Eve All! 😊

Hope everyone is ok today. I'm off work so having a really lazy day.

@ErrolFinn looks like we are both on the same CD.

soughsigh · 26/12/2020 19:40

So we tried DTD for the first time this cycle today during DS's nap and it was a bit of a disaster. We do SMEP and I'm not sure he landed any sperm in me 🙈. Hopefully everyone else is getting on better.

French2020 · 26/12/2020 19:45

Me. I’m cycle day 10 and first cycle of ttc. Nervous and just seeing how it goes. Don’t want to get too obsessed early on.

Flowers222 · 26/12/2020 21:24

@soughsigh oh dear, at least if you are not due to ovulate for a few days you still have time to try again!

All quiet here. Still getting low on OPKs but not due to ovulate for a few days yet so still time. MIL has left now so at least don't have to worry about dtd sneakily with her around 😂

soughsigh · 26/12/2020 21:35

@Flowers222 my cycles are a bit erratic, but I'm only on day 12 so I'm not that worried, just annoyed that neither of us got what we wanted out of it. I love TTC sex 😳

@French2020 I have conceived 2 babies without doing a single OPK or taking a basal temp, we just DTD every 2 days in the fertile week. Both times we have only DTD 3 times in the cycle and concieved second cycle.

OP posts:
TTCROYGBIV · 26/12/2020 21:54

I think I ovulated yesterday (CD11) or Christmas Eve (CD10). Had a temp increase on CD11.

We DTD CD7, 8, 9, 11 and 12. Most DTD we’ve ever done and I’m knackered!

Letsdothis06 · 27/12/2020 01:09

I would love to join! I think I ovulated today, first cycle of TTC DC2. Feeling excited but nervous but excited but nervous, ahhh!

Jay3004 · 27/12/2020 01:10

Me please! Second month TTC and due to ovulate 30th 🤞🏻

Monday55 · 27/12/2020 02:16

Joining! Ovulation due around 1st Jan. Been ttc our first for over a year, so not feeling very optimistic 😕

Kay00 · 27/12/2020 02:55

@letsdothis06 how exciting! How old is your first?

@ttcroygbiv ooh well done, sounds like you're fully covered!

Kay00 · 27/12/2020 02:57

@monday55 :-( hang in there, it could happen any month. I have been reading some older threads where it has taken some women 1year+ to conceive and it seems really normal. Our chances are catching in any given month are pretty low so there is a lot of luck involved. 🤞🤞 this is your cycle!

RHODXB · 27/12/2020 13:30

Joining! Second cycle of trying. AF due 11th jan so think I'm ovulating around now!

Letsdothis06 · 27/12/2020 15:29

Thanks @Kay00, my DS is 2.5. Are you TTC your first?
I actually got a LH surge this morning (I think, am a bit new to all this!) so guessing I will be ovulating tomorrow or the day after.
Will be great to share the two week wait with others!

TTCROYGBIV · 27/12/2020 17:37

Temp dip this morning, hoping it goes back up tomorrow. Might be a fall back rise or trying to ovulate and had failed ovulation a couple of days ago
