Anyone TTC Dec 2023

[Cantcareless]

Just looking for some company with ladies planning TTC 2023. There's already a thread for Jan 2024 but would be nice to keep company for Dec :)
Initially planned to start TTC 2024 Jan but it's feels time is going too slow and too broody now.
Also, worried about age turned 34 few months ago and feel clock is ticking(just my opinion).

@jossiwood any update at all? 🤞🏼😊

@4LeafCloverBaby nope, I've a feeling my period is on its way and I'm very unfestive . How you doing ?

Congratulations @3ornotto3! How many dpo are you or days before af due?
I'm due on today but no sign yet other than sore boobs which I've had for ten days now, I tested negative yesterday so I'm on my second glass of bubbly... Happy Christmas!

Thank you ladies 🥹❤️💫 100% did not expect this, I’ll be honest! @LottieW93 @Applesandcake @Bb542 @Linalou12 @Fawklight @4LeafCloverBaby @BeWhereYouAre @jossiwood

I’m sure I’ve missed out some usernames, so please forgive me! Trying very hard to keep up with this lovely forum 🥹

@jossiwood same hun…pretty crampy so have a feeling AF is imminent! Also have my 2 step children round for Christmas Day which is lovely for my partner but is making me feel the sad even more! x

Ahh love ,I totally get you . If this isn't our month we go back and start at 1 dpo again (ahghh goddd that felt such a long time ). I'm having a glass of wine , what will be will be - try to enjoy some lovely dinner and keep those fingers crossed cos we are def not out yet x

Thanks lovely 🥹❤️

So I’ve not officially been tracking ovulation, and I didn’t have the usual EWCM like I usually do I kind of thought I might be out or would have trouble conceiving because of this??

We had sex on the 12th and 13th, and I reckon I ovulated on the 13th aa after we had sex I had the most intense cramps on the right side. It actually disturbed my sleep for a few hours. So, I’d be around 12dpo? My cycles this year been between 27 and 32 (🥲🤣) which didn’t help. My Flo app says I should be due on tomorrow but, I mean, that would mean I had a 30 day cycle.

Hope that helps ❤️ I’m really praying you get your BFP very soon, and enjoy that lovely bubbly! I had almost 2 bottles of Prosecco last night, obviously had no idea what was to come today. Truly convinced myself I was out 🤣

merry christmas everyone 🎄💫

Would anyone be interested in a little Facebook group instead of on here in a few weeks time maybe? Would love to keep updated on everyone’s journeys etc.. fb feels a bit easier to get updated! Xx

@LottieW93 I'd love too, my Facebook is the same as on here xx

https://www.facebook.com/share/rz8469RdqKGiqc2r/?mibextid=K35XfP

i think this is the link to join. If anyone would like to - all welcome here whether bfn, bfp, ttc dec or Jan or whatever date. Obviously if you’d like to! ❤️

I’ve just requested 🥰 although, does this show up on people’s homepages or anything? Barely anyone knows we’re trying and we’re definitely not telling anyone about the positive for a while x

@3ornotto3 as long as you message in the group; it will stay in the group xx

@LottieW93 love this idea. I am still part of a due in June 2021 group on FB that started on mumset and we still talk loads

Yes it’s all private! Only people who are in the group can see and it doesn’t show on your Facebook. Xx @3ornotto3

@Mummysparrow oh there’s fab!
I just thought it’s a little easier to keep up to date and share the journey isn’t it xx

I'll request to join.

Hi everyone. Hoping those that have tested today get their BFP!!! Congratulations to all that have already got their BFP this month. I believe I ovulated yesterday or today. I wasn’t tempting I’m just going based off of the static smiley I got on my clearblue ovulation test on Saturday. We dtd Saturday night/Sunday morning and will probably dtd again today. I’m hoping by January 4th I will get my BFP but the 8th works for me too lol. WISH ME LUCK

good luck @Brianna4kd!! 💫🫶🏻❤️

Hi guys. I did a test earlier and it seemed negative so I kind of just disregarded it. When I looked at it an hour later there was a very faint line. Can I just assume it's an evap line and it's negative? I'm 8dpo tomorrow!

Everyone will reply saying ignore it! And in order to not get your hopes up, this is wise, but… the only time this has ever happened to me was when I was actually pregnant, so I’m also a little more optimistic when I see people post things like this. Technically after the timeframe the test is void, so it could be a evap, but you never know. Test again tomorrow with a first response early test!

Did you take a picture @Bb542 ? That is early but fingers crossed for you!

Hope you’re all having a lovely Christmas! I’ve found pretending to drink G and T but only having tonic is working well- don’t think anyone suspects haha!

I’m 10DPO today and really struggling to hold out on testing til AF due on 30th! Also struggling not to get my hopes up as I’ve got sore boobs and slightly crampy on one side this morning but know it could just be PMT.

This was the line. Not sure how visible it is in the photo but it's visible in person. I'm nearly sure it's an evap line 💔

Oh fingers crossed they are good signs for you 🤞🏼 it's so so hard not to test. I think next month I'm not going to test at all 😂

@Bb542 ah I see it! Looks slightly pinkish to me rather than the clear evap mark but I guess the best thing to do is test again later, painful waiting though isn’t it!

@Bb542 not to get your hopes up but I’ve been using these tests for the last few mornings and looking at older ones, I can’t see any evap lines.
Yesterday morning I saw the faintest line which was confirmed this morning by another easy@home and a clear blue 🥹

9dpo - BFN
10dpo - BFN
11dpo - vvv faint
12dpo - BFP

I couldn’t help but test a bit earlier than intended! Best of luck to everyone waiting to find out🤞🏻✨

I'm now on Day 30 when my cycle is normally between 23-29 days. Estimate 19DPO.
I logged cramps for 3 days a week after ovulation, since then I've no cramps or 'feeling' like my period is about to come on. But the early pregnancy tests I've done are a hard negative (and zero hint of a line). I'll go out and find a Clear Blue test soon (they can just be so expensive so was trying to hold out to save the money, especially if my period is just a bit late, though the fact it's stetched this far is uncommon for me)

@TMK23 Congratulations!!!

Oh wow congratulations ❤️ that's is amazing news. So happy for you. You must be so so thrilled 🩷

Did your faint line come up straight away? I tested again this morning and nothing really there so I think yesterday was an evap. It's probably too early anyway as I'm only 8dpo.

I had the tiniest bit of pink spotting once when I went to the bathroom yesterday but nothing after. Not sure if that counts as implantation bleeding 🤣
