December babies ❄️☃️🧣🎊🌲

[BiscuitLover3678]

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

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

@Charl881 god that really was the TWW from hell. With a nightmare of an ending for you.

I would do that too, I'm far too nosey with my cycle (kinda wondering can you freeze sperm at home??!..most definitely probably not im sure they freeze at -100oC or something ridiculous)

I have never gone overdue either 4 weeks early with the first, 10 days ish with my last two. Hoping you catch 🤞🤞and get a belated Christmas present 👶 xx

@Maybebabyno2 I do see a line for sure. It's kinda close to a really white line which is throwing me off a bit. What sensitivity are the tests?
Line watch is not my strongest quality though. As my previous cycle suggested 😅

Welcome though and I hope it's the start of a bfp xx

Ok I’m all stocked up on OPKs. Writing off this month mentally but still want to see where my cycle is at then all set to go next month.

@Maybebabyno2 I can see something but could just be a smudge! Keep us updated.

Just wanted to check in and say I have everything crossed for you all this month. You will get your Christmas babies!!! 🤞🏻

Hey, is anyone still hanging around here? Sorry to hear that AF has come for some :(

I think I am 1dpo today. I waited to see when I would ovulate before coming on here as due date if I did ovulate yesterday would be the end of December (hahaa Christmas day) but could have been a January baby. (My cycles have been pretty variable in terms of length)

Is anyone else still in the 2WW?

Hey @GeraniumCedarwood!

Me! Currently 2DPO, due date would be Christmas Eve! :)

Trying not to overthink the TWW, this is my first cycle off the pill so I'd be incredibly lucky if I were to get my BFP straight away.. trying not to get my hopes up.

How you feeling?

I’m also still here! Due to ovulate tomorrow or Thursday so will be DTD as much as we can

Also still here but not due to ovulate until next Tuesday, maybe later. And as OH is away Thursday - Thursday can’t really try this month but just still lurking on the thread hoping to see BFPs for others!

Still here too x CD13 today

Hi hope it's ok to post, just took this test, it's only a cheap strip from tescos, the line came up within the first minute, hard to get a pic
Just wanted to get a second opinion to see if I'm going crazy😂😂 period was due today

Another pic

I had a wobble this morning as it’s peak day today, tmi but loads of ewcm making me feel I’ve wet myself 🙈, tested to confirm for tracking. Managed to talk to myself about reasons I was skipping and feel ok again 😂. Be a lot easier once I know ovulation has passed and no going back lol. Had my date from the recurrent miscarriage clinic date and was in the middle of my holiday, so have had to request it is rearranged and heard nothing back yet 😩. Least it was sooner than the 32 weeks it said online I suppose.
@Charl881 how’s the tracking going? Any sign so far?
@em123456789 looks like a bfp to me, how many dpo are you?
@BiscuitLover3678 @MrsGrealish are you both in the tww now?

Hello, hope I’m ok to message here. I have just hit the 6 week mark today so I believe (according to due date calculator) my due date is 1st December should all go well.

The thing is, I have suffered 2 very early miscarriages (both before or on the 5 week mark) so I don’t have any excitement and probably won’t until I hear a heartbeat, and even then I’m sure it will be short lived as panic settles in again. I just wish so much I could enjoy this and feel excited but I just want to cry all the time.

Fingers crossed all goes well and I can have my first baby as a Christmas miracle ❤️

@Bubblesandballoons I can imagine that was tough! At least you know in a couple of days there won’t be anything you can do like you say. How annoying about the appt but hopefully they can rearrange it soon. Have you spoken much to your doctor about it? My friend fell pregnant while waiting for an appt at the recurrent miscarriage clinic and was prescribed progesterone - the pregnancy was then successful.

I’ve been doing cheap OPKs and nothing yet plus no EWCM so I don’t think it’s going to be early for me, just hoping that it’s actually delayed until after DP is back next week. I’m going to do a clear blue later just to see if I’m ‘high’ yet - I usually get four or five high days before a peak so if it’s still showing low then hopefully it means my ovulation is delayed. I keep reminding myself it’s really not a big deal if we can’t try this month, but it’s frustrating especially when you’re supposedly more fertile the cycle after a chemical.

@TTBAM91 congratulations! This thread is for those of us still trying for a December baby, but on the pregnancy and birth club boards there are some due date groups for December with people who might be able to give you some reassurance as they are all going through the same thing (I was on there briefly until mine turned into a chemical!).

14 days po but just done a frer and it came back negative 😭

@Bubblesandballoons ah the TWW my old friend😭 CD14 today and still plenty of the EWCM. I've been in work past 2 days so haven't been doing OPKs properly kinda looking at them when I had a minute but they had dried up and not a real reading. I'll check properly today and then I'll know. Boobs not at all sore which makes me think I haven't moved into luteal phase yet🤷‍♀️

That must be so hard you are very strong al lot more self restraint than me. Changing my mind in minutes about this month being a month off.

@em123456789 sorry for the BFN, it's so frustrating, especially when that first test had an obvious line! How annoying, you never know though, keep testing :) I hope it wasn't a false positive for you 🤞

@Charl881 not spoke to them yet as trying to get an appointment has been a pain as not an emergency 🙄, but if I fall pregnant next cycle and haven’t had my appointment by then I’ll definitely be ringing and chasing for a prescription or at least a blood test to check levels. That’s good you aren’t having any signs yet, hopefully it will wait till he’s back 🤞🏻
@MrsGrealish it’s definitely not easy, so I can see why people don’t. Hopefully todays opk’s will clear things up, so you know where you are.
@em123456789 oh no it looked like a good line on cheapy.

Just a heads up for everyone don't use freedom test strips 🥲🥲
Not even a glimpse of a line on the other tests so will have to try again next month 🤞🏻🤞🏻 anyone have any tips for how to not get down about it?

@Bubblesandballoons yep TWW begins. So not looking forward to this 😩

@MrsGrealish we’re all here for you!

@Charl881 ❤️ hopefully I hold it together a little better this time. Don't count on it though 😫 apologies in advance

Good luck to those in the TWW.

I’ve been crappy with opks so ovulation might be today or yesterday or tomorrow I don’t know! The ones I’ve tried have all been negative so far.
By Saturday I will be joining you in the TWW for sure.

Well I DTD this morning before OH left for the week. If I ovulate on the same cycle day as last month then I’m 4 days before ovulation so still in with a small chance I guess. Yet to see if my chemical will delay it or change it though. If it could delay it by four days to next Friday that would be perfect. Good luck to all already in the TWW, it comes around quick doesn’t it and yet then goes so slow.
