December babies ❄️☃️🧣🎊🌲

[BiscuitLover3678]

I’m almost 100% convinced I’m out now!

Really really hoping a December baby is the one. Anyone else?

@Charl881 no I was running to work, doubt would have captured it. Will do another tomorrow

@Bubblesandballoons I did another last night and it was positive again although no darker, I have more tests coming later so I can check if it’s getting darker over the next few days. Got some digitals for next week too.

That sounds odd, I didn’t realise that could affect your length of periods. Although at least that might be you ovulate earlier this cycle so can try again sooner!

@Mummyme87 if it helps, my FRER on Thursday I was absolutely convinced was an evap line as it was so thin and grey. It’s only because I got slightly pink lines on the cheapies that made me get more to take yesterday which was 14dpo. I always assumed with FRERs you’d get a strong positive way before 14dpo!

Yeah, I’m not feeling out yet. Only 9dpo, didn’t get BFP until 11dpo with DS1

@Gioia1 thank you so much! Ovulated late so not sure if that changes things - either 1st or 7th December :) I feel super nauseous (nearly threw up at the smell of baking bread!), head hurts a bit, then my back hurts!

@Charl881oh my god congratulations!! I knew you were!! Such brilliant news! ♥️

@Charl881 ooh looking forward to seeing those lines get darker. I’m not trying for a month or two now. Gonna take a break from here too, will keep checking in though to see how you are getting on

@Bubblesandballoons I'm deciding between having a break or throwing everything at it this month. I feel like I'm too old to be having a break but I think I'll see how I feel fertile week.

Congrats @Charl881!

I was so upset last few days I’ve realised I can’t have a break now 🙈

@MrsGrealish i must admit I do find the idea of having a break hard as I’m not getting any younger and would love a sibling for my ds. But I’m away on holiday the last week of my tww and just feel I need to be able to enjoy myself and not be symptom spotting/worried about miscarriage or getting sad if Af shows. Hopefully my body will then be ready to give me my bfp that sticks around in may 🤞🏻.

@MrsGrealish throws everything at it! That's what I'm doing next month we can all support each other. X

@BiscuitLover3678 ahh bless you, I do hope this is your month 🤞🏻. It’s hard deciding what’s for the best, in the end you really do just have to go with your gut.

@RMS0209 well the wild health vitamins are on order for both me and OH. So I think I see what direction I'm headed in😅
I was considering ordering clear blue ovulation tests but not sure I can justify expense with so many easy@home sticks in the house.

@Bubblesandballoons it's so hard. I always get really optimistic in fertile week damn oestrogen surge making me think anything is possible. Then the TWW is a killer for me

@BiscuitLover3678 I'm right here with you xx no early testing this time. It melted my head

@BiscuitLover3678 also you weren't well last cycle so don't be too hard on yourself xx

@BiscuitLover3678 lots of luck to all of us for April ❤️

@MrsGrealish ooh yay the supplements! I'm in the mind now I just want to keep powering through and hopefully get the good news sooner rather than later...
The clear blues are good but I think I need to be dancing before I get the peak smiley! Sometimes I only get a peak no flashy - very annoying!
I use the easy @ home's too, definitely going to try every few days to keep myself "topped up" ha ha you know what I mean! X

@MrsGrealish yeah all the ewcm makes you think no way the swimmers haven’t made it 😂. I have the clear blue too, but tbh I use the cheapies alongside as my peak is often on day two of the peak on cb digital so I’d be missing ovulation day, so I’d say if you find peak ok in cheapies save your pennies and just dtd every other day in days leading up to cover yourself till you get peak.

I’ve started b6 on top of what I’m already taking to try and lengthen my luteal stage as I’ve come on twice at 12dpo now. Feel like i’m doing something in my month off 😂. Anyone know of anything else that may help?

@Bubblesandballoons my luteal phase is 12 days too so I started vitamin B6 mid cycle. I take vitamin B12 (was deficient last year) and Q10 (meant to help egg quality) I am awful at remembering to take them so I'm gonna make a real effort this cycle. Obviously folic acid and vitamin D already.

@RMS0209 my new plan is more vitamins and DTD every 2 days from day 10 even when OPKs low. 🤞for next cycle!!❤️

@Newbiemg :) might help you 12 day

@MrsGrealish great idea! I'm going to do similar try every 2 days then 2/3days in a row once I get my peak and a few days after...

Hoping April is the month of luck x

@MrsGrealish some brown spotting when I just went to toilet.. normally 2 days then AF's arrival boo hoo, see you in April! 😂🎉 x

@RMS0209 I thought you had started 🥲 yes 🤞for April xx take care, relax and make plans 😘

Hello ladies - just wanted to pop on to share my angst, CB digi flashy smileys yesterday and today and in bed feeling rough with Covid. We DTD last night (not sure how...) life doesn't play fair sometimes does it 😬🤦🏻‍♀️

@MrsGrealish I don’t know whether it’s a coincidence but I started taking COQ10 the cycle before last. I also started to DTD earlier in the cycle this month which worked out well as peak was slightly earlier than expected. Really hoping you get your BFP soon!

@Charl881 how early did you start? I've got OH taking them as well. I DTD once over fertile period so not hugely surprised it was negative. Still crap though

So happy you got your BFP!! ❤️ honestly that cheapie test before FRER looked so positive xx

I think I started in CD10, usually ovulate on around CD16 but reckon it was 14/15 this time. Although saying that as my FRER was faint yesterday maybe I actually ovulated later, who knows!

Yeah with hindsight the cheapies were all positive but you just read so many threads on here about evap and indent lines that you kind of struggle to believe anything that isn’t glaringly positive.
