All I want for Christmas is a BFP- TTC September baby 🍁

[Roxybabe]

Hey ladies,

Thought I’d start a new Dec thread for us!! New thread… new cycle… new hope!!

❤️❤️

Hi everyone! A BFP for Christmas would be a blessing 🥰
for me this is cycle 2 of ttc baby 2. We conceived DD in cycle 2 after a chemical in cycle 1 last time around so I’m feeling very hopeful 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
it’s only CD8 for me atm so lots of DTD is our plan 🙈 haven’t tried OPKs but might next cycle. I’m still BF DD but have regular periods and ovulation symptoms so assume I’m ovulating.
Fingers crossed for everyone 🥰

Waiting for AF to arrive on Wednesday and then on to cycle #12 TTC #1. I’m going to really try relaxing this cycle, no opk no bbt no early testing. Still hoping for our little miracle ✨

Hello everyone! @Roxybabe my DH has declared this cycle “legs in the air” 😂 it can’t harm anything.

On cycle 4 due to ovulate around the 9th of Dec, so testing on Christmas Day 🤦‍♀️ Hoping for an early ovulation. Will be doing CB digi ovulation as I found it the easiest to read and use. heard so many heartwarming stories about friends who were on multiple IVF cycles having a baby - so that gives me hope.

I’m not IVF by the way, but hearing of anyone getting pregnant gives me hope that it can happen !!

@NarnieJoy i did the legs in the air a few times when conceiving my son and it did seem to work 😂 That as well as preseed, fluffy socks and any other old wives tale I could find!

Just watching one of my videos (🙄😂) and it said the average time to conceive after hormonal contraception is 146 days whereas people who had used natural cycles as contraception were only 86 days. That’s like 5 months vs 3 months. I’m on month 4 after the pill so surely it has to be soon 🙈 This will be my second and we always said we’d like about 2 years between the first two then either leave it at that (depending if the second goes as well as the first 😂) or once my first goes to school we’d either have a third. I actually hate all the side effects of the pill so might try natural cycles after having #2. Would just be my luck I’d end up pregnant when I didn’t want to be though after spending all these months throwing the kitchen sink at trying!

@Yolo23 Thankyou and sorry to you too, the moment you see those 2 lines you fall in love and you start to day dream about the future. Hoping everyone on this thread gets their happy news very soon.

@BCxx I use natural cycles and I love it, it's so easy to use and really interesting. It definitely made me more in tune with my body, I didn't get pregnant until we actually started trying and we had been using it about 9 months.

Hey everyone I’m hoping for a December BFP 🙏 having IUI, this is my first cycle. As PP have said it’s so hard not to get obsessed!

Hi, can I join? First time TTC - so excited ☺️

I'm going to full embrace the OPKs and get the Pre-Seed on the go. We were very lucky to conceive first month with my daughter using temperatures and then second month with our son using pre-seed. This will be month 3 for us TTC if my period ever arrives.

Hi everyone, can I join? I’ve been off threads for a while. December marks a year TTC with nothing happening 🥲

currently on TWW for a late august baby. I would actually prefer September so trying not to get too upset when AF comes in about a week. Argh! So I’ll be on here for a while possibly.

EPO has arrived so looking forward to see if that makes any difference to my CM this cycle! 13DPO and just waiting for AF to arrive. BFN this morning on a clear blue so i’m pretty sure i’m out, only positive again this month is a longer luteal phase as I was worried it was short but seems to be fine the last 2 months!

@Roxybabe what dose of EPO are you trying if you don't mind me asking? I'll try anything at this stage!

It took me 12 months to conceive my first so keep the faith! I think looking back I wasn’t quite getting the 24-36 hour window after my peak LH quite right. The month we conceived we also were a lot more relaxed. OH was away with work a lot so we literally only DTD when he was back rather than stressing about planning the optimum time.

I'd like to join too please! I'm on cycle 4 of TTC properly (tracking with OPKs). Last month they didn't show a peak at all and AF was 5 days late so I was worried that was the end of my fertility (I'm 40, waves at @Matildahoney). I had a peak on Saturday though so maybe that was just a one off for now... This is my first time trying so hoping I haven't left it too late but well aware I may have.

Anyway, I'm in the TWW now and hoping for a Christmas miracle like everyone else here. Sending good luck to you all for positive Christmases!

@Stilltobeseen thank you. It was our first month of properly trying, the month before that we were on honeymoon so didn’t pay much attention to the fertile window etc. Felt a little too good to be true and turns out it was 🥺 but onwards & upwards to a new cycle!

I’m on CD10 today, app predicts I’m due to ovulate on December 6th which is CD18. I have quite long cycles between 31-33 days. Anyway, I’ve never really paid much attention to my CM before now.. I don’t seem to get very much at all but can tell the difference in what I’m assuming is my fertile week and it’s definitely slippy and stretchy (sorry TMI!) however I’ve noticed a bit of that today. I’m wondering if it’s due to me approaching ovulation or whether I’m ovulating early 🤔 we DTD yesterday anyway but might have to do it every other day this week too! 🤣🙈

AF came today, on to cycle 9 for me💔 hoping to join you ladies. My test day should be Christmas Eve 🫢

@BiscuitLover3678 hi, I remember you from other threads a while back, hope you're doing OK. I'm on cycle 8 now, feel for you being on cycle 12. Mine would also be an Aug baby if BFP - AF due Monday. Not noticed any symptoms different from usual so far so not getting my hopes up

Oh @Harper02 sorry to hear that - hope you’re doing okay!
Fingers crossed for this cycle!

@tbark I got one on amazon thats 1500, apparently the important ingredient in it is the GLA. So look for the highest dose you can find of that. And I think you stop taking when you get your peak! Gd luck

@BiscuitLover3678 I recognise your user name from previous threads! Fingers crossed for you hun! Xx

Hi all, can I jump onboard? Stopped my pill in October, no withdrawal bleed or AF. Thought I had a peak earlier this month but actually got a peak and ovulation pain on the 21st, so currently 7dpo and half way through the longest tww. Planning to test on the 1st but I have zero patients and will probably test everyday 🤦‍♀️ ttc baby 2

@belimoo yay I'm not alone!

Thank you my lovely. I think if it’s taught me anything it’s to never test early again.

Ive battled lots of AF pains today which is normal with my endo. We’re off to Dominican Saturday so atleast we get this out the way now and can look forward to a holiday away 🥰

xx
