TTC December thread

[mightbeyesmightbeno]

@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

I need to stop testing for a few days 🤦‍♀️ properly put myself on a downer today as I've got af style cramps and the test I took today hadn't progressed although after it dried it looked a lot darker (don't think that counts though does it?), Can see it in real life but it won't pick up on camera now so I'm convinced its going to be a chemical 🙃

@Theresamagicalplace sorry you’re still in limbo if AF hadn’t turned up early I probably would have taken another test, you’re not out till AF turns up 🙂

my bbt dropped a lot this morning which it normally does the day before af . I’m either 8-9dpo tho I thought so that would be a bit early so trying to convince myself it might be an implantation dip, or perhaps I ovulated earlier. If it’s low again tomorrow I’m def out otherwise I’ll take a test on Monday. At least will know before Xmas

Fingers crossed @melbxldn!

My tiredness is ridiculous, I went to bed at 5pm. Only awake now because I need to pick OH up from a wake. Otherwise I'd still be sleeping. Not good when Sunday night I'm back at work and have a 13 hour night shift to get through 🙈

Hope it rises again this morning @melbxldn

The whole house has a stinking cold, I still have to go to work and my other half is about 19 seconds away from putting on the dressing gown of doom and declaring himself almost dead. So naturally I decided to make myself feel worse by doing a test and seeing barely any progression..... except that's not what happened

Congratulations.. im 5/6 dpo today. I'd love a BFP for Christmas.

@Theresamagicalplace that’s a BFP!!! Amazing

That's def a BFP @Theresamagicalplace !

@Theresamagicalplace definitely a BFP! Congrats!!

BFN this morning for me, but it's still a bit early really for testing so holding out hope. I keep getting twinges that I can't decide if it's mild cramps or tightness. I did have the most vivid dream last night though, which I never do, but did early on with DS.

First month ttc ovulated the 4th of December had cramps on the 13th which I assumed could of been implantation my areola have doubled in size been bloated and apitite decreased also nausea

Then came on last night and it's pinkish feels same pressure as period hopefully it stops tomorrow then can still be hopefull of not bring on round two of trying haha

@Theresamagicalplace aww congratulations to you, that’s a bfp. So happy for you!! Xxx

@saltedcaramelanything I had such a vivid dream last night too. I’m running very hot today, hubby keeps saying I feel very warm, but my temp was low again which normally means my period. I think I’ll test Monday at 10-11dpo

@Theresamagicalplace huge congrats!!

Good luck @Itsme101
Congrats @Theresamagicalplace!! How wonderful.

I can feel AF coming on but I was sure she was in my last pregnancy - the symptoms are so similar, Sore boobs and cramps. If she hasn’t arrived by Monday I’ll do a frer. Realllly wanting a Christmas miracle. After my miscarriage I can’t see myself feeling truly happy until I get pregnant again!!

i would like a miracle too lost both my parents in 2019 so ready to get on with life now and have some more happy in my life still not sure if this is my period or not but time will tell and got some bits ordered ready to help if not

good luck to you too and sorry about your miscarriage

Congratulations @Theresamagicalplace lovely news!!

I’m only 2/3 dpo but not holding our much hope for this cycle as we didn’t time things right.

I’ve got lower back back ache, aches in my sides/ tummy and shooty cervix pains. Also had some realllly gross snotty cm and now back to lots of clear ew type cm. Way too early for implantation and way past ovulation so I have no idea what it is x

Can't quite believe it .....
was certain I was out as have been spotting for 3 days now, very light just on wiping. Must be implantation bleed!

That’s a definite positive @mightbeyesmightbeno!! Congratulations 🎉

I’m now 4 days late but haven’t tested today because im pretty convinced im just late, not pregnant. Last 3 days haven’t even had a hint of a positive. Just want it over with now to try again next month

Thanks everyone! Confirmed with a digital this afternoon 😍 now just to hope it's a super sticky one!

@mightbeyesmightbeno that is so positive! Congratulations!

Good luck to everyone else still waiting or who have moved onto the next cycle. Hopefully see you on the birth club threads!

@mightbeyesmightbeno wow I’m so happy for you

@Ballygowenwater I hope you get either your bfp hopefully or AF soon, how confusing!

My bbt back up today so I am showing a dip but I know implantation dips a bit of a myth so trying not to get excited and will test Monday!

@melbxldn thank you!
Remember anything is possible - I would have never believed after a month of illness in our house, DTD only a couple of times and on days that I wasn't even sure if I did O or not thanks to dodgy OPKs that I would get a line. Also then spotting for a few days. I'm still in disbelief and am waiting until Monday to do another test.

@oldermam what did you decide to do about getting prescriptions from GP?

@mightbeyesmightbeno

I'm currently 7dpo. So plan to test on tues/wed. I have the aspirin ready. And the early pregnancy unit that have seen me in the past through my testing and recurrent mc is in the same women and child unit my work is at (nicu) so I've cheekily asked them what I should do. They've said to just give them a call when I get a positive. (If)

Tempted to test but know it'll be silly! I've purposely left the pregnancy tests at home and I'm at OH's and my FMU 8/ gone already lol. I'm on a night shift tonight so no fmu tomorrow and then I'll be 9qp which is more reasonable!

@oldermam sounds like a good plan. And yes hold off on the testing as long as pos - I literally had a beg the day before at 12days PO and then this squinted at 13days PO so it makes a big difference!

@mightbeyesmightbeno so many mixed feelings going on tbh. I have symptoms that I couldn't possibly be imagining, nausea and tiredness is just beyond. Cramping on and off too, but already the anxiety and fear is kicking in. I've been on annual leave though with time on my hands And im back in working tonight so thankfully that will keep my mind off it. Then I have some Xmas prep to do and im back working wed thurs nights.
