December TTC Support Group

[MyGardenDaisies]

Hey! Making a space for those that are :

• starting to TTC in December
• also had a negative in November and preparing to try again
• trying in November and will be testing in December

all welcome! 🤗

Hope we all get a BFP! x

Hey all,
TTC #1, AF arrived today! (Which devastated me) after Cycle 6. We have been DTD regularly and around and on ovulation.
My husband works away in the week and only home on weekends (sometimes back during the week) any other things we could be doing to help? Thanks!

Had BFN today. 9DPO, I know it's early but I'm giving up. I do have symptoms though, which is weird to me I'm not testing positive

@ljb23 it’s hard isn’t it, that then early pregnancy symptoms are literally the same as pre-period. Hopefully it’s just early and it’s still possible for you!

It really is! Hopefully! I never have symptoms before my period, so I'm hoping it's pregnancy and it's just too early!

Tomorrow is my ovulation day (unless it happened today already), eather way the smiley is gonna be static till Friday morning, so hoping to try once more tomorrow, so we will have covered O-3, peak OPK day, and O day.

hopefully 🤞 it’s our month!!

It really does! Hopefully going at it like rabbits will work again for you 🤞😂

That’s what we’re doing… just trying to make it more fun rather than just something we have to do 😅 but you’re right sometimes it’s easier to do a quickie and get it done!

Hiya, I know loads of you from the November thread. Been a bit quiet because a) my laptop broke and b) I lost my mind during the TWW last time. I tried not to test and I think that made it SO much worse. Going to buy some cheapies this time and just test from 7dpo, so I don't spend my whole time symptom spotting.

I thought I was 1dpo today but saw some EWCM this afternoon. Does anyone know if EWCM can appear after ovulation? Dr Google is not being very helpful!?

Have caught up with this thread, will try and be more present over the next week. 💖

hey @CoolSummer89 ! I think it can still be EWCM for a day or two

Hello everyone, it's time for me to come out of hiding and post... you seem like a lovely lot I'm 36 TTC number 3. This would be the second cycle of TTC. I've no idea how long my cycles are because I have had coils fitted for years and only had this one out late September.

I'm in a complete muddle. AF arrived on Nov 8th which means today is CD20 for me... is that right? I thought I'd do a quick test and could see a really faint line. I'm trying to stay calm as it is still so early. I'll test again in the morning I think... can you see the line? Think it might be something this early?

@MrsMermaid Definitely CD20 if AF started on the 8th, I started on the 5th and mine says CD23. That looks positive to me congratulations 😁 I'm also TTC #3 but no BFP yet I tested yesterday but not with fmu. I've definitely seen a few people get positives early but for me it's always been about CD13

Not sure if it helps and may be tmi..but day after dtd i often have more ewcm. Its my understanding that arousal fluid and seminal fluid can mimic ewcm? That's why for me it's not an indicator on its own of ovulation.

I'm 9dpo and have niggly cramps in low abdo today and feeling generally rubbish and exhausted. AF due in around 4 days so reckon she's on her way. Not even going to bother testing unless she doesn't turn up by next week.
Im not even that upset about it this cycle, I will just enjoy my Christmas (even though I'm working) eating all the cheese and pate and a little drink while I can.

13dpo bfn

Looks pink could be 🤞

I got nothing when I tested this morning so perhaps it was a fluke. TWW continues...

@Nico89 that’s a great attitude. X

For me if we are not successful this cycle, next one will be ovulating bang on Christmas 😄

I like the idea of taking a month off and just going with the flow, but I’ve booked a gynaecologist end of Jan, when we would have had 6 cycles of TTC if still unsuccessful.
also I would probably regret it after that we skipped a month of trying, it’s a hard one

I am on Ovulation day or 1DPO, depends how to count from the clear blue digital peak yesterday.

Morning everyone, sorry to continue to be negative Nancy! 10DPO and negative. I've basically ruled myself out. 2 mmc and I got pregnant first time. I have tingly boobs which I do not get before a period. I feel devastated this morning seeing another negative. Please let me know if there's any hope! I've lost my mind completely

@ljb23 that’s still super early. Don’t count yourself out unless AF arrives :) deffo still hope.
@MrsMermaid thats really strange, but maybe it was a more diluted wee this morning or something. Fingers crossed for you.

Not sure on dpo as after a year of TTc I’ve given up tracking ovulation. Just DTD during my fertile week.
Anyway AF due in 4 days and i had a BFN this morning. I used to my last test too so it stops the Poas temptation.
Still early but I’m bummed but not surprised either, just don’t think it’s going to happen tbh

Ugh I'm feeling miserable this morning. CD24. Pretty sure AF is on her way. Had an upset tum (sorry tmi) which I usually get right before AF arrives. Also feeling crampy. Added complication of having Crohn's so it could just be that but who knows.

We are only cycle 4 and I know a lot of you are further down the line so just wanted to say that you are all very strong. This is HARD. 💖

Thank you! I caved and have asked the GP for some blood tests 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

@ljb23 how long have you been TTC?

I had 2 mc in the last 6 months, but this is only first cycle after miscarriage. Maybe I need another month. Went to GP today, HCG negative so not pregnant. Hopefully this month I'll catch!

You’ll probably get this a lot but if it gives you any hope, I didn’t test positive until I think 14/15 dpo with baby number one! There is still a chance x

ahh thanks. I went to GP and had a blood test which showed I'm not pregnant. I'm very stressed at the moment though so makes sense. Hopefully next cycle! X

Sorry to hear that - sending good vibes for next month for you❤

Joining from November thread!!
Fingers crossed for us all to get a BFP in time for Christmas ❤️
