December babies ❄️☃️🧣🎊🌲

[BiscuitLover3678]

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

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

@BiscuitLover3678 yeah I keep thinking about not using OPKs but then part of me thinks if I don’t and I don’t get pregnant this cycle I’ll kick myself

Can I join this? Wanted to join the November one but AF arrived instead.

TTC our first baby (started trying November and I caught Covid, then December had covid jab and January AF was late by a week and then early February AF was extremely light and a few days early!)
Thankfully AF has arrived bang on time so far so hoping this could be the month for a little December baby! Wishing everyone luck!

Hello newcomers

Anyone ovulating soon?

@BiscuitLover3678 I'm due to ovulate in the next few days 🤞🏼

Hi all,

Hoping I can join in, and that this is our month. TTC#1, my first pregnancy - conceived first month of trying - ended in a MMC at 11 weeks in October while we were on holiday. Horrific. Now we've been trying 4 months and nothing so I'm feeling pretty disheartened by it all, particularly because I've just turned 39.

AF arrived today, which launched me into a complete tailspin about time running out!

How do you guys stay calm and not obsess about TTC? I feel like it's taking over my damn LIFE. GAH!

@Presently83 I don’t know how to stay calm!

@BiscuitLover3678 I am due to ovulate next week, I feel that these past few months have been so educational as before trying I didn’t realise how small a window it was to conceive.

How is everyone tracking? I use a couple of apps and clear blue ovulation tests with the smiley faces.

@Presently83 also wish I knew how to stay calm. Sorry to hear it's not been straightforward for you and about your loss last year.

We conceived DS1 and DS2 second and first months trying, TTC again now (after DS2 sadly died in NICU at 3 days) but it didn't happen first cycle last month so now I'm convinced there's something wrong with me/my insides were pulled apart during a very aggressive emergency c section to try and get the baby out alive.

Cycle day 3 now after crying for the last 72 hours, I was obviously completely convinced I was pregnant for the last 2 weeks.

Bring on baby making for December due dates 🙏

I’m so so sorry about your second baby I hope this month works for you

Moving over from the November thread as AF turned up early today. Only 9DPO so was thinking it was an implantation bleed but no such luck 😔

Hi all,
Joining this month.
Currently CD9 - TTC #2 - month 4 of trying (I think)
AF was 6 days late in Feb and arrived on my birthday, along with a positive covid test 🙈👎🏻
Finally ordered some OPK’s so I’ll be doing them these month.
Hope this is everyone’s month ☺️

Good luck everyone!

I wonder if il ovulate earlier as such a short period?

When will everyone be testing?

Hi, hope all is going well with everyone. CD12 here and though I said I wasn't doing any OPKs this month did one just there with a very low result. Think I'll not be ovulating or ovulating really late this month.

@BiscuitLover3678 are you doing any OPKs this month? Anyone ovulating soon?

Welcome to all the newbies ❤️

How are you feeling @MrsGrealish?

Cd 8 here so technically in fertile week but dh is unwell as is ds so don’t feel like we’ll be getting much time to DTD. My clear blue opk keep reading errors (think as I only do a few per month so have reused the digital test too much maybe). The strip ones are funny for me but looked negative.

Can’t really be bothered tbh but I know I’ll regret not trying this month.
Monday tomorrow hoping we all have a good week!

@BiscuitLover3678
I can't really to be bothered either so I'm not too upset about the low reading. So 2 days into my fertile week and feeling very infertile 😂

I recovered ok from the covid bar a trip to a@e on the advice of an over cautious gp but back at work now.

I’m so sorry to hear that, you’ve had a lot going on.

Hey, maybe your body needs a month to chill before becoming super fertile again :)

I’m on CD11 - opks very low. I had a reading of 0.23 this morning and then this evening it’s 0.12…any clue what that means? Thought it would be higher tonight 😬

I also can’t be bothered to DTD either 😩

Sorry I’m not very good at checking mumsnet when it’s not the TWW! How’s everyone doing?

I’m due to ovulate this time next week (going off past cycles) so about to hit my fertile week. Loose plan is to DTD CD11, CD13, CD15, CD16 and CD 18. I usually ovulate on around CD 16. Trying not to test this month hence picking some days!

@Sunshine92 😂😂 o god what are we like😂 must DTD it will not happen on its own! I have literally peaked every month on CD13 and it's normally about 0.4 by CD12. No EWCM and a measly 0.21 today😕

@Charl881 I wasn't for OPK testing this month either but curiosity got the better of me today. Good luck for next week xx

@BiscuitLover3678 I think I do need to chill this month. OH also needs to chill. I was updating work cycles on my iPad just there and I said the word cycle to him and he automatically assumed menstrual cycle 😂 very unlike him I must have been talking about this way too much xx hope your DH and DS recover soon xx

I’m gutted! Dh too ill to DTD, I just hope he’s better before Thurs when I’m due to ovulate! It’s already Monday! I’m also worried I might ovulate early this month because me period was so short, so may already be getting close to too late

I hope others are having a better month for it. It’s hard not to feel down when you haven’t even been able to give it a proper go.

Hi everyone ♥️
Jumping across from Nov Babies as AF arrived today so CD1 for me 😩
I'm on Cycle 11 of TTC
I had a MC in Feb at 5+2
An Ectopic last July at 7+6 with an emergency operation
I have endometriosis
I'm 31
First AF since the MC so hoping it will "clear everything out" 🤢

I know most people find CD 1 depressing (and don't get me wrong it is) but I try and see it as a fresh start, I chance to try again and new things ♥️

Good luck everyone ✨🤞🏼

Hey how’s everyone? Welcome to the newbies. I’m just waiting to see when I ovulate this month, hoping it’s nearer cd14 🤞🏻.
@MrsGrealish last month after my chemical I ovulated on cd19, so hopefully you are just running a bit late.
@BiscuitLover3678 sorry to hear your dh is poorly. Hope he’s feeling better and up for it in the next few days.
@FreckledMouse that’s a lovely way to see it. Hopefully this is your month 🤞🏻

@BiscuitLover3678 are you doing OPK testing? It only takes once and today is still a bit early if you do ovulate on Thursday so fingers crossed he’s better for tomorrow / Wednesday!

@MrsGrealish yeah, probably should DTD if we want babies 😂 I don’t know what’s going on with my LH levels, they are super low this month so far. I’m on CD12 and levels are only 0.12! I usually get my peak on CD14…so we will see!

@BiscuitLover3678 - oh no, hope your DH perks up enough to DTD, it’s so frustrating when you have your heart set on baby making and things get in the way 😔
