Ho ho ho! We all want Santa to come (with loads of BFPs)! It's the December thread 🎅🌲🎁

[Squiff70]

I don't know. Not even a week into November and sadly some are out for this month.

If you're dreaming of a white Christmas and you're definitely on Santa's NAUGHTY list, this is the one for you. Not a December bus but a December SLEIGH!

So go Dasher, go Dancer, go Prancer and Vixen! We don't want you to bring us those toys. Please stuff our stockings full of BFP joy!

@DancinOnTheCeiling thank you so much🥺 🤞🏼Xx

Not even at my fertile week yet and don't have a good feeling about this month being it..😑

My most fertile days I'll be working night shift and Covid has struck DD so 10days isolating a 5 year old 🙃 wish me luck

Fingers crossed for you @SickCrisis101

The new thing I'm trying this month is pre-seed. We had been using a diff lubricant which said it isn't a spermicide but I've read that they can still inhibit movement so going to avoid just in case.

I was thinking of trying monitoring my CM and/or BBT to help pinpoint O better but not sure where to start. Any tips? Google is more confusing than helpful ha

Eek good luck @nico89!

Hi ladies, first month joining this thread but i was following the previous ones. Im quite confused about my cycle. TTC#3 had implant removed 25th August, had some bleeding on 30th August which stopped on 1st September, then I didn’t have a period until 14th October, started to track my ovulation around 10 days later using Clear blue digital test which didn’t detect a positive reading. My period came bang on my expected date cycle day 28 on 10th November. So i would be due my next period on 7th December. However I decided to test my ovulation today with CB digital test and got a peak fertility reading , which is just 9 days into my cycle. My period just stopped completely on monday and luckily we dtd monday, Wednesday and this morning .Based on this im really confused about when I would take a test?? Would this be 2 weeks today so 2nd December or would i wait until 7th when my period would be due?? X

@DancinOnTheCeiling

Any BFPs yet? Xx

Just entered my FW so hopefully in a couple of weeks?! 🤞🏼

What we are doing differently this cycle is that we are going to DTD every other day during my FW. Last cycle we DTD for 5 days straight and we were really burnt out at the end of if. Hopefully this way will be more enjoyable and still effective!

Hi @StephC85 sounds like your cycle/hormones are just settling back in post implant removal.
I would wait until you are expecting AF this should give plenty of time for a BGP to show on home test if you have been successful

Hey I was going to try preseed this month hoping thi helps anyone any advice on it. Not due to enter my fertile time to next wknd but hoping this is an good month

@Squiff70 how're you getting on lovely?

@Nico89 thank you so much for your reply . I will hold off until AF is due rather than count from positive ovulation. I’m just so impatient as i fell quickly with my other 2 . Hope we all get our BFP this month. Xx

Sorry @SkaterChick, I haven't abandoned the thread, I promise! Just very very busy just now and haven't had time to catch up with you all as it's my daughter's Birthday/meal out/party etc.

AF visited me first thing this morning right on cue so I'm definitely hoping for a Christmas BFP now. If not, there will be a Bucks fizz or ten coming my way

I'll catch up with you ladies as soon as humanly possible. Best of luck to those of you in your FW or TWW!

@Squiff70 ahh sorry AF arrived, I was just catching up on the thread and thought the tww must be coming to and end for you.
Fingers crossed for an Xmas present!

Joining from the November thread! 12dpo today and BFN so I’m 99% sure this wasn’t our month. So hopeful for December!

TTC #2, have a DD who is nearly 2 1/2. This will be cycle 6; conceived DD on second try so this is a brave new world for us. Had a horror 37 day cycle last month (stress I think, but could’ve been pregnacare which I’ve since stopped taking). Felt really hopeful about November despite not DTD that much (had a bad cold)… I was very good with diet and exercise etc, vitamins… but also not sure when I’m ovulating, I tend to have EWCM for a good week so thinking I might be missing my peak!

Doubling down our efforts for December - might do an advent calendar approach 🤣🤣 I’m predicted ovulation 5-6th December, which would mean AF would be due 21st. Everything crossed for a very special Christmas BFP. 🎄

I love the advent calendar idea @ohmybaby 😂

CD7 for me, AF has cleared off and my app is predicting O on Friday 26th (CD13). Doing CB OPKs again and want to make sure we DTD a couple of days after I get my peak which we've missed the last few times. Luckily neither of us are working next weekend and we are away for a wedding so hopefully will be plenty of opportunity if all goes to plan...

Feeling a bit more positive today but it's weird I just can't imagine myself pregnant or giving birth it just seems so unlikely somehow. Anyone else feel like that?

@MindZGap I feel the same re can’t imagine being pregnant or giving birth!!

Hi everyone

CD5 for me, O scheduled for the last day of this month.

Feeling fairly optimistic about this month, DH is up for SEMP though we’re going to start bit closer to my fertile window to not wear him out too soon 😉

@MindZGap likewise, the thought of carrying a human being inside is seems so abstract now haha

Hi all, cd2 today so come over from the November thread. Going to my cousins kids birthday party today and I don’t see that side of the family much so just dreading anyone asking when we’re going to have a baby as ‘we’re next’ xx

Ahhh @beckybabyx I feel you. Stay strong! Family time can be tough sometimes especially during this time! Sending you a big hug! X

Heads up if anyone’s interested in CB lubricant- it’s currently on offer on Amazon for £11 instead of £17🙂 might get it, won’t do any harm I suppose?

@Mummytobe93 ooh thanks for the heads up

Today’s.. too scared to believe it🙈!

@LemonElephant it's faint but I can see something. Fingers crossed 🤞

You guys, I think I may have jumped the December sleigh a tad prematurely… I got the shock of my life this afternoon when I randomly decided to test. I’m shocked and it does not feel real. I think i need to say that digital to believe it!!

@Danani that’s amazing!! Congratulations! And you thought you were out!! So did you DTD a few days before ovulation and not again?

@LemonElephant I can see a faint line! Fingers crossed it progresses into a beautiful dark line ☺️
