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

I agree that it helps to feel like you’re doing something!

Do you normally get ewcm around now? I feel like it’s the only time in your life you hope to get discharge 🤣

@BGxxx lol well it doesn’t happen overnight, a gradual increase.

Hey ladies hope you all don't mind me jumping on the thread. I am currently 6dpo and the tww is the slowest weeks of my life, sending lots of baby dust to you all ❤️

So after my rubbish ovulation strips, I am debating the clear blue one off amazon. It is £££ though. Thinking I can use my cheap strips every other day then use the clear blue in between as ovulation gets closer use the clear blue. I just don't want to waste this month. I always said I wanted a second child here by the time I was 40, this month is therefore crucial!!!!

I don't even have any pregnancy tests. I always thought I'd go to Boots and buy one once AF is late but it hasn't happened yet so I'll save my pennies. I keep thinking that it will happen when it's supposed to though. Every month that I'm not pregnant I just think that wasn't the right sperm and the right egg on that occasion so on to the next cycle and hope for the best!

I'm 5DPO today, I have sore boobs and some pelvic pain. My ovulation test has also got darker. I'm trying not to symptom spot, but can't help myself! Hoping this is all positives

Babe if it’s important to you - get the clear blue. It removes the ambiguity and helps settle your mind during what can be a stressful time. Us women have enough to deal with already, plus if you don’t spend that money on clear blues, you’ll just spend it elsewhere anyway. 🥰 baby dust x

right attitude xx

Everything crossed for you hun x

Hi! Ttc my second! First one took a little under two years and have been trying for our second since last October! Really hoping I get a positive soon! Feel like I’m getting crazier as the months go by! Patiently waiting for ovulation to occur atm 🤞🏻

Hi
I was on the November thread but af arrived Im CD 3 this is the first period since MMC D&C on October 12th.
confirmed ovulation 7/8 November .
it’s vvv light bleeding cramps are very bad I normally have vvv heavy periods .
I'm hoping it just because it’s the first period since the loss.

I’ve been prescribed 5mg folic acid to start now and progesterone pessary when i next get a confirmed pregnancy in the right place .
i also have a scan next Wednesday to check my lining and on cysts I have.
I had 2 day bloods and other blood tests done through the fertility clinic yesterday .

i should of been 15+1 today I feel so sad I’ve had multiple losses but this loss I just can’t shake it away .

we’re praying for a positive for december

Have you tried the easy at home strips? I used to use those, as well at the clearblue smiley sticks and I’ve tried the clearblue monitor! The easy at home were the most accurate for me, the clearblue were so sensitive they’d say I’d peaked the day before I actually did

@BGxxx just tried One Step which is the same brand I used last time. I seem to have forgotten how to use them!

Cd11 here flo has me ovulating on Tuesday Premom is saying Tuesday as well. First month I’m tracking my bbt I don’t know how accurate it will be as I’m not the best sleeper but I’d like the comfort of knowing that I’ve ovulated as I’m getting on (40)

taking a more relaxed approach this month dh doesn’t know it’s our fertile period so he doesn’t feel under pressure, the last couple of months have felt a bit like going through the motions rather than romantic 🤣 he’s also not feeling well 😩

@Peonies94 Good luck this month got my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 I'm on my first cycle TTC and I'm currently 7dpo, this tww is driving me crazy

@Ello92 rhe TWW is so hard! I spend it just wishing time away! Good luck!

@Sugarcube84 it’s so hard to not feel the pressure Isnr it? I’m cd12 and temping too! Just waiting for ovulation which will hopefully be in a few days

Hi ladies, joining from Nov ttc chat and this will be cycle #7. Naively thought I wouldn’t join after having lots of faint positives that didn’t darken it seems it was a chemical as I’m now on day 2 of a very heavy AF.
Going to try not put too much pressure on this month and I’m emotionally drained from the rollercoaster of the last week.
good luck everyone!

@lils2020 yes it’s best not to test too early to avoid the rollercoaster

Top to bottom - yesterday afternoon, 2pm ish today 4.45pm today.

SMEP for us, thinking it's positive.

I'm CD 14 and if positive it's same day as back in2022

the CB are worth it - no wondering or line reading

Congratulations!! 🥰🥳

How is everyone getting on?

CD10 for me - boobs are getting sore and OPK’s getting darker, so I’m hoping I actually ovulate this cycle 🤞🏻

CD8 for me today. Going to start upping the baby dancing - want to sort of do SPEM but without it feeling like a chore! So we just said we'd do it whenever we felt like from today. I'm going to start OPKs on wed (CD10) as I usually ovulate around CD15/16 I think but I get cramps from around CD13 for a few days so they don't help me pinpoint anything sadly!

CD11 and still low on my opks at the moment
Seems I’ve maybe had a shift from ovulating around CD12 to later since my last cycle 🤷🏻‍♀️ going to aim for every other day from now until ovulation with maybe every day around peak but it is starting to feel like a chore sometimes when TTC 😅 app says ovulation Friday at the mo with period due sometime around 8th-10th December
I wasn’t planning to track ovulation this month but because I ovulated late last month and I’m incapable of going with the flow I’m tracking again 😅 cycle 6 post MMC…
