December Testers... 6 BFPs

Forums New posts
Hi!
O day is today! It's two days late. Good thing I use OPKs so I know exactly when to expect AF. I don't want to test too early.
Babydust28, could you please move me from 1st Dec to 3rd? Thanks.
So the waiting begins...

Yay! I've been looking for a December thread!

Please add me for December 18th (but it could be later, might change depending on when I finally ovulate haha)

About me, we are on our second cycle TTCing #2, with Clomid 100mg CD3-7, and I have PCOS as well!

I'm super hopeful for this cycle!!!!

The tww is more like 6ww isn't it just seems to drag!

Good luck Katy!!!

My body has such lovely clear O symptoms it seems, and sure enough it is all ramping up now with some lovely beginnings of EWCM tonight. O not due for another 4-5 days, but that's perfect timing for sparkle week now, so heeeere we gooooo! Lmao!

YES! Haha :)


Do any of you ladies use OPKs daily leading up to ovulation? When TTC my first I also temped but I don't think I'm ready for that hard work quite yet.
 
Good luck to you too flyingduster!

jessthemess, I use OPKs daily from CD 11 or 12, once a day in the afternoon. We BD often enough and I usually feel ovulation but OPKs help me relax more, knowing for sure when it's coming and when to expect AF/test.
 
I am the same way. I use OPK's daily from CD 11-12 onwards and test in the afternoons. I have had O move around between 3-4 days at times so its nice to know that when my cycle is longer than it should be, its because I o'd late, not because AF is late.
Plus my DH sometimes works late shifts, and this way I can know when are the most important days to make sure we dont' miss out and go to bed thinking we can just catch it tomorrow.

The TWW is killer this month. I cannot believe how it is dragging. Im only 3 DPO and it feels like 13!

I only temp. I don't bother with opk's purely because I have read nothing but the fact that they can be allover the place with results.
So it just put me off but I agree temping is hard work.
 
I don't use OPKs cos I've seen them go all over the place too, and they're so expensive here!! I have really solid O symptoms and I temp so I don't need them anyway.

I don't find temping hard work though??? It only has to be as hard as you make it surely?? I don't time my temping, I just temp when I wake up. I have really broken sleep due to co sleeping and breastfeeding 2-5 times a night so there is no way I'm setting an alarm to wake me again!! Haha. I generally have a reasonable stretch of sleep till around 3:30-4am so I just temp when I wake to feed then, and we go back to sleep. I record it later in the morning when I get up. Zero struggle, I'm used to it so do it almost automatically now! Haha. It does mean it's a bit up and down, but I still get my definite shift after O, so it works well still.
 
I am on cd2, will be testing on 16 Dec, please add me!!
Hope december is our lucky month:happydance:

Oh this is encouraging! I wasn't going to bother with temping as I cosleep and breastfeed all night too, and have broken sleep. But I might try temping next cycle and see what happens as I'm not sure I am even ovulating!

I temped for two years and for me it was like meh BUT when I stopped I realized I was SO glad not to be doing it haha best thing! And I got my BFP after I stopped temping, haha not that it is related in anyway, just that in the end I didn't need to do it. My cycles are so wacky! So now that we are TTCing #2 I think I might just stick with OPK IC for a bit!
 
Happy Thanksgiving to those on the US! I hope everyone has a wonderful time with their families and we get a little distraction from TTC!
 
Booooooo!!! We missed it!!! I normally O on cd19, like every single other chart I've ever done even before conceiving my first baby, I Od on cd19 or maybe 18. So I had copious EWCM which IS usually my sign I'm about to O but I wondered if just the early mc affected it. We tried to bd but a damn child (lol!) woke up and then we were just too zonked to go back to it, thinking we had days yet. And boom, the next day my cm dries up and today my temp rises more (I don't get a big temp shift, it climbs over a few days) and we miiiiiissssed it!!! Im gutted.

On the one hand I'm sorta almost happy to have a shorter cycle, cos O on cd15 is lovely. But!!! I wasn't prepared!!! Sigh.

So I wont be testing in December, I'm out before it's even begun. Good luck everyone!!
 
Flying - sorry about the miss... sucks to have to wait another cycle when it already feels like we waiting ALL THE TIME :hugs:

As for the questions about temping and opk's - im not using anything. Did start a journal though to see if i can get to know all signs well enough to not need to go through any extra effort (link in my signature for those who want to have a peek).
I have gone through most of my life just ignoring my body signals - used to smoke alot and drink quite a bit - so taking it step-by-step.
If that doesn't work i will start temping next cycle...

So sorry
Keep positive and onto the next don't get yourself down. I know that's so easy to do though
 
I'm sorry you missed it flyingduster. Better luck next month!
 
Hi,

Hope I can join you ladies :) I will be testing December 9th so I'm really hoping for that BFP! Took Clear blue digital ovulation test today and got a positive but I tested again with another box (new stick) and got a negative with the same urine. I pulled out the test stick and it's dark but not as dark as the test line so hopefully it's not a false postive !
