@kizzy97 @Peonies94 @Tinkerbell098 @jhodd @EvelynSalt starting this from those of us that are out this month and ready to go for December!

This part is nearly as bad as the TTW - waiting for AF to be over and to be able to crack on!

By my calculations we'll all know before Christmas if the next cycle has been a success for us - so hopefully either way happiness or sadness there will be lots of opportunities for lovely family time x

Hiya!
How you feeling?
Just I'm wondering if anyone has tried the pre-seed stuff before? X

Does anyone mind if I join? Onto cycle 3, AF started today. Next period due around 22nd December! Would love to have a Christmas BFP. Really feeling down about the BFN then AF arriving today. Mentally I’m starting to find it really tough!

I conceived my first the first cycle we tried preseed (my third cycle) and was convinced that was why, but didn’t conceive the first cycle of trying for #2 where I also used it. I say it can’t hurt?

melbxldn · 22/11/2021 21:30

Thanks for starting this thread! I dont ovulate til day 20 or later so still 2 weeks for me and also think hubby might be away when I’ll ovulate but a bit irregular so fingers crossed

👍 I'll give it a go I reckon

@mightbeyesmightbeno fingers crossed this is the month for us both!

I conceived DS on the first month of trying using pre seed! But had two failed cycles using it so far TTC baby number 2. I’ll continue using it though!

👍 can't harm then I guess

The branded pre seed or the clear blue stuff?

OP posts:
Moonshine160 · 22/11/2021 22:34

@mightbeyesmightbeno the brand pre seed. Conceive Plus is meant to be another good one too. I don’t get much EWCM so I’m going to try evening primrose oil this cycle to see if that helps

Tjsmjs · 22/11/2021 22:46

Can I join? TTC no2. My period started today to. DH works away a lot and was away the three days before and day of ovulation so I wasn’t that hopeful but still disappointing. I have short cycles 23-25 days with a short luteal phase so that doesn’t help. I’m due to ovulate around the 4th. DH is home for the next 3 weeks and no nights for me this cycle so maybe our chances are better.

katem22 · 22/11/2021 22:51

Joining! Smile
I'm about to ovulate in the next few days with my next AF due around 11th December, so will be middle of next month when we know where we are.
Wishing you all luck! Would be the best Christmas present, wouldn't it?

redxlondon · 22/11/2021 22:53

I have a long cycle, so it will literally be on Christmas Day for me 😱😱 what a present a BFP would be

Billymay · 23/11/2021 07:56

Af came this morning so day 1 now for me. Xx

That would be amazing.
Tinkerbell098 · 23/11/2021 13:13

CD5 for me, so it's time to get the ball rolling again. Good luck to all of you girls and wishing for a Christmas miracle!!!

Billymay · 23/11/2021 14:46

Just looked at my app and my ovulation day will be over next weekend… my partners in night and there’s no way we can go upstairs during the day as our 6 year old is so nosey 🤦‍♀️

Tinkerbell098 · 23/11/2021 14:56

@Billymay oh no! is it possible to get a sitter for a few hours?
