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!!

❤️❤️

@BCxx thanks for the positivity 😊 it was a first response I used. Tbh I don't like them very much as evap/indent lines seem really common with them. Had a speck of redish pink blood mixed in with cm this morning so I'm praying it's implantation and not AF on her way. I'm not due on till next Thursday so hoping for IB

i re downloaded my Femometer app that I used last time and have been looking at my cycle when I got pregnant. I didn’t test until 15dpo which I’m very impressed with 😂 definitely won’t be waiting that long this time. We DTD CD 19 and 21 and I ovulated CD 22 (I have long cycles).

I’m monitoring my LH this month so I have a rough idea when to DTD next month. I think my cycles are similar to pre baby in terms of when I ovulate as I do tend to keep an eye on CM but we’ll see.

@Stilltobeseen that sounds exactly like everyone describes implantation so fingers crossed! 😬

Can I join? :) My period would be due on the 8th December. Month 4 of 'not preventing' for baby #1, but let's be honest, the symptom spotting still takes over! Distinct lack of symptoms this month... I don't track ovulation but I do get cramps 11 days before my period every cycle, which I'm 99% is ovulation! Would love a Christmas BFP! We also dtd on what we later realised was our 16 year anniversary of our first date, so how amazing would that be!

That’s possible of course!
I should say that I had other anovulation symptoms:

• cycles were regular ish but long (37 days)
• when I temped, I got a Rocky Mountains shape
• my OPKs rose and fell at three points (showing my body was making several attempts at ovulating)

Really think I'm out this month. Temp took a massive dip today then went to the toilet and had the bleeding in the picture. I have a history with spotting, I used to spot every cycle (brown mostly) for almost a week before my period. Had my daughter and ever since maybe get spotting a day or so before my period so this is quite early at only 10DPO and not due on for another 4ish days. I also have issues with cervical ectropians (also known as cervical erosion which can make you spot randomly it developed during my last pregnancy and is harmless just annoying). I had an ectorpian flare last month which lasted a few days but that's normally bright red and not accompanied by cramping so I'm pretty sure it's not that this time. My boobs are sore and I'm crampy. bfn on this mornings test. Only 10dpo so I'm still clutching at the last straws of hope but I just feel like AF is about to rear her head.

I’m back for another cycle. Currently on cd4. Good luck to everyone!

Well I'm out for this month so I'm in sync with this thread now. Cd2, ov around 17th Dec, AF due NYD at the moment.

Absolutely gutted to be on cycle 9. I am so sick of trying now

@LucyLoopyLu I'm exactly the same timings as you! Need to keep each other posted ;)

@lili2308 oh hi cycle buddy 🖐 hope this is a lucky one for us both

Hi, hope it's ok to join. I'm on CD4 and ovulate quite late so would be the 22nd/23rd. TTC #2 and on cycle 6 so really hoping this is the month! Best of luck to everyone testing soon 🤞

Hello please can I join as well? I’m 3 or 4dpo on cycle 4. Had a chemical in September which my only symptom I had was the most insane bloating I’ve ever dealt with- I’m talking no clothes fitting me and absolute crazy pain.

Currently dealing with the same bloating now since ovulation day- I know it’s too early for any pregnancy symptoms and it’s probably progesterone related but it’s going to be a long month worrying I’ll have another chemical! Glad to have others in the same TWW boat 😊

AF is arriving any day and after some very clearly negative early tests I’m symptom spotting and feeling rubbish. I just wish it would arrive.

Feeling a bit sad though as it marks a full year of TTC.

After that I will be officially on for a September baby though which I would love 😊

I'm cd 4 and ovulation due on 19th Dec and AF due 2nd Jan. Why so long?? 😂

Hi everyone 👋🏼 Hope you’re all doing well.
Im currently in the fertile window, due to ovulate tomorrow according to my app (currently not tracking using OPKs). I’ve had cramps and one sided back pain for 2 days now… it’s weird I’ve never noticed this before or has it just not been this bad before?! 🤔

Then the dreaded TWW which I feel may go quicker this month as it’s my birthday next week then Christmas!! AF due 21st December. Terrified I’m going to have another chemical like last month so won’t be testing until 23rd (this is going to KILL me!) I have a night out on the 23rd so need to know either way… but so scared I’ll start bleeding again 🥺

Hey! Mind if I join? TTC for my first and I’m on month 9. I’m 7dpo! Not going to test until 14dpo if AF doesn’t show. Only symptom so far is sore boobs which has been coming on since 4dpo.

This is unlike me. I have cycles with and without sore boobs but if I do, they’re usually only this saw by a few days before AF, not 7 days out.

I want to be hopeful but every cycle has been a whole different ball game so I’m not expecting it to be anything.

sore*

@Bananatoast123 6dpo here, sore/more full feeling boobs was my first symptom with my son so fingers crossed! I’ve had definite cramps and pinching feelings and I did have that last time too, first time I’ve felt it other than AF cramps since trying for #2 so I’m really hoping this could be it 🤞🏼 I don’t have your willpower though so will most likely cave and test on Thursday

@Laul89 - we’re cycle buddies although I have a shortish LP so will be testing on the 19th if AF hasn’t arrived by then. Hoping December’s festivities provide lots of distraction for us both as we start the tww!

@Laul89 we’re not far off each other on dates, I ovulated last week.

My app wants me to test on the 16th, I’m going to try and hold off til then cos with my chemical I tested super early- but also I have a Christmas party that night so I’ll have to do it that day if I make it that long!

I’m officially on here now. Day 1 of my cycle and hoping for a September baby SO BADLY

@BCxx ooo that’s good to know! I usually get sore boobs of some kind but I noticed it starting at 4dpo which seemed a bit early! I’ve had a few cramps yesterday too but can never tell if it’s just trapped wind or actually my uterus… I’ve also had every scenario happen each month I’m ttc and no BFP so I’m not hopeful 🫣 I hope this is both our months! Fingers crossed for us! You’re sounds promising??

I’m usually awful at testing but we go away tomorrow so kind of no choice 😂

@Bananatoast123 I just wish I knew how long before AF the cramps would usually start but this seems to far out to be caused by that, I don’t think it’s due til next Tuesday. I can’t remember what dpo my ‘boob symptoms’ started with my little boy but it was definitely a few days before getting a BFP. Ahh that’s handy! 😂 are you going on holiday?

@BCxx I’m the same but each month I seem to get a new pattern 🙈 the only consistency is my ovulation day! I’m cycle 10 so just getting to me why it’s not happening yet!

Yes we are going to Amsterdam so also kind of don’t want to test and it to ruin our few days away!

I’m poorly and I’m worried it will effect my ability to get pregnant… anyone conceived when they had a cold??
