Since I'm out for this month... Best chance to try again in a few weeks

Thought we could start a new chat for everyone who could potentially get their bfp in December or try again

I'm in aswell! Currently in my fertile window according to flo app. I'm expecting to get my peak in the next couple of days. Then onto the dreaded tww.

Favofit · 18/11/2023 16:52

Can I join ? CD1 today and still feeling sad at the arrival of AF today. Need to move forward

Mama09876 · 18/11/2023 19:12

Can i join! Im in for Dec. I’ve currently got my peak day today and due to ovulate tomorrow but OH is away for Nov so skip this month and hopefully get our positive in Dec! 🤞🏻

How many cycles of trying is everyone at? Dec will be our 3rd cycle trying so still really early but I’m getting impatient 🤣 I got pregnant the 3rd month with our 1st so I’m hoping that’s a bit of luck for Dec 🤞🏻

Familyfirst12 · 18/11/2023 21:24

Can I join please? Currently CD13 on first month ttc. Due to ovulate on CD24… all very new to me as was on the pill for 12 years - came off end of August and have tracked my cycles since.

moosey89 · 18/11/2023 22:04

I've taken a few weeks off the forums but back now! CD17 and just got my positive ovulation test which is 3-4 days late for me, so I'm not holding much hope this month! This is cycle 4 post my most recent miscarriage (took 6 months to conceive that one), my whole TTC saga has been going on years and years yet somehow I still get upset every month when af arrives 🫣

RWSS · 18/11/2023 23:11

Can I join aswell? I've not finished my p yet so waiting to start. I had a cp last month so not sure how long I have left or when I'm ovulating.

NelliePig · 19/11/2023 11:14

Yep, December will be cycle 2 for me for our second. Just got AF today so out for November 😭 x

Willow89 · 19/11/2023 12:07

It's 2nd cycle for me also. Only had a 24 day cycle last month. AF came much sooner than expected.

Feeling all consumed by TTC already

moosey89 · 19/11/2023 16:50

For those of you just starting your journey my top tip is find as many ways to distract yourself and keep busy as possible! Yes it's important to take your vitamins, know when you're ovulating etc but in the 'free time' either side of your fertile window do as much fun stuff as you possibly can (and have stuff booked in haha). It can be a long old road and it's good to try and manage stress levels as best you can x

Familyfirst12 · 19/11/2023 18:13

Thanks @moosey89 I have quite long cycles (normally over 33 days) so it seems like such a long time to wait if nothing happens this cycle! Very early days though and your journey sounds so difficult so must be frustrating to hear of others so early in their journey getting frustrated! Fingers crossed this becomes a lucky thread for us all! I find it so comforting to have a place to come and chat

starryx · 19/11/2023 19:33

Of course everyone can join, sorry I didn't realise this chain had started getting replies lol.

Well I'm currently cd9
Tomorrow is meant to be start of my fertile stage

Hoping this is maybe my month, you never know

@Familyfirst12 my wish for everyone on this thread is to not have to go through what I have/am! The dream is for everyone to have their BFPs nice and quickly and have sticky beans!

Chatting in here with people who are also trying can be so helpful xx

Umbridge34 · 19/11/2023 21:02

Hopping on for the first time ever.

We've been trying for baby 2 for about 3 years now. Baby 1 conceived the month after I came off the pill. Baby 2 is a tad more elusive. Had a miscarriage at 8.5 week last March.
I have just got my AF 3 days late after a few bfp so probable chemical pregnancy.

So here we go cd1.

Understandably though.. it's definitely a kick in the back when you see af turn up. Also I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage

Morning December girls. Hoping for some good news in this group 💫 decided this month I will try properly - just finished AF and starting ovulation tests for the first time. Trying for baby number 3. Would be lovely if we all got an extra special little Christmas present 🎁

Saffie920 · 20/11/2023 06:54

Hi everyone, joining here too. Just had a BFN this morning (AF late by a day) so I’m 99% sure I’m out for November. Trying to keep optimistic for December. I’m going to be using ovulation strips for the first time. Btw I’m 31 and trying for baby number 1. Fingers crossed for everyone here and here’s hoping we see some BFPs this month 😊 xx

LuceNumberTwo · 20/11/2023 08:27

Morning all!
Hope it's OK to join 🥰

I'm TTC baby number 2.. I've a 6 year old DD. This year I've had a blighted ovum (also an unexpected pregnancy as we hadn't quite decided on another!) Which was hell & torture- found out I was pregnant in May, didn't pass naturally until the end of June/beginning of July.. Told to try again, did so, August I fell again, but chemical.. Gave myself a break & tried again, ended in another chemical.. So its been a whirlwind year to say the least!
We just tried again in November but I didn't fall, which I was gutted about as I've so far fallen pregnant. But at the same time it's a blank slate I suppose!
Anyway sorry for chapter & verse! Just finishing my AF today, checked both Flo & Premom they are pretty much saying the same which is unusual.. I'm going away with my DD on Saturday 25th - Friday the 1st Dec... So I've told my partner we will be baby dancing constantly before I go 🤣🤣

Sending baby dust to everyone here! Let December be our month 🤞🤞
Also I have a hospital appointment with the obstetrics unit Wednesday, see what they recommened 😊

Although I’ve only started posting in the last couple of days, I’ve watched a few threads which have been so lucky and so many have received their BFP’s… hoping this is it for us!

hicketypickety · 20/11/2023 09:58

AF is due tomorrow but had spotting since Friday and a BFN yesterday. So expect AF to arrive right on time. Been TTC number 2 since last year - had a MMC in September 2022 and a molar pregnancy which required surgical removal in April. Still having HCG monitored monthly post the molar but have been TTC again since September with not even a sniff of a BFP. December is the last month my HCG will need to be monitored by the specialist molar centre so hoping that's a good omen?!?

Have a DS who is 6 and amazing so would love to give him a sibling he's desperate for one too, the only only child in his class at school.

I've found this month quite soul destroying and I'm not sure why really.

RadDarwazeh · 20/11/2023 10:10

Hi everyone nice to meet you all.

I'm trying for baby#2, I've just come off the pill a few days ago. Going to wait for my first proper period so I can track on the Flo app. I have a DS who is 2.

I'll be an "older mom" (35 yo currently) but I also read things are usually ok, though I'm more nervous this time.

Hoping and wishing for positives for all, especially lovely around this festive time of year xx

Aww good luck 😄 I've come off the pill also but back in September - also to pre warn I had quite a few spots after my first cycle but now after my second it seems my hormones have settled/balanced more.
