Hoping for a Christmas BFP

[everything]

Hi just wanted to start a thread for those of us testing around Christmas, we are heading into round two of femara (just finished a month off after 3 months on) and DH just had his repeat SA done that came out very well (just like this first time) so my RE basically told us to just be very active this month =)

im hoping to test around Christmas I have been feeling like I will never get pregnant again ....

 

[everything]

Same here this is cycle 6 after our mc and I'm determined to make this cycle work! =) I'm debating if I should maybe buy some royal jelly but I'm reading mixed reviews some saying that they did get pregnant but had a few miscarriages on it and then when the stopped they got pregnant again and that was a sticky bean so I'm a bit reluctant.
I usually get horrible cramps when I get my period on femara so I'm hoping I wont have to be in pain on Christmas eve.

I'm desperate for a xmas BFP. I don't have a fear that I won't get pregnant (I did before I got pregnant) but it only took us 3 ovulations once we got clomid working (although we were trying for 14 months). I have an all consuming fear that I won't carry a baby to term though.

I ovulated 3 days ago so mine would be an early December BFP. Come on Christmas babies!

LouOscar01 - how exciting! only a little over a week until you test then!

I just invested in a clearblue advanced digital monitor for ovulation, I've been trying to read into those one step strips for a long time and figured that I would try these out even though they are ridiculously expensive here (like $120 for 20 tests) but if they do the job I'll order them from the US in bulk (that is if I need it).

It's just day 3 here so I took my first does of femara (this cylce) this evening so hopefully 4th time is a charm for us. It would be the best christmas present even if we got a BFP so I'm praying that it works =)

Baby dust to y'all!

Well this femara round is already starting out with a bang usually I get a really bad headache like the last 2-3 days of being on it but this time it's starting right away.
I'm determined this cycle and have spent the whole day looking at soft cups or diva cups to use after BD this month.

Im ovulating today !!!! Im overly excited about this im hoping that with all the BD me and the hubby have been doing and will be doing for the next three days I get my rainbow baby

 

[everything]

JasmineFrame I'm so excited for you! catch that eggy!!!
I really hope we all get our little Christmas gifts like my ob said.

 

[JasmineFrame]

thank you me too ;O)

 

[everything]

My new (and expensive) OPKs came in the mail yesterday and I bought some Royal Jelly to maybe help if not it's a great vitamin =)
The femara headache is not really going away but I only have I dose left so my last headache day should be tomorrow =)

 

[JasmineFrame]

any updates ladies ???

 

[everything]

I'm 4 dpo we managed to dtd like for 6 straight days including both days that the solid smiley was on the clearblue test (it sticks around for 48 hours).
I have so much creamy cm and I don't recall having that before, other than that there is nothing abnormal so far =)

Hi �� I'm 9 DPO. It's our first month properly trying since our little girl passed away via suspected SIDS age four days, ten weeks ago. Aside from my husband I don't really have anyone to talk to as we're worried people will think we're rushing things but we feel ready. This is part of our journey.

So far I'm not sure but hopeful. I've been having twinges down there a lot, boob pain, headaches, a bit spotty and have creamy CM. I have really bad flu, though so have no idea if anything is a symptom or normal flu/grieving!

I had my milk supply medically stopped which worked mostly but I still leak small amounts of bright yellow milk and can hand express; this has gotten more, definitely. It had almost stopped. A good sign?

Hopeful for us all! x

Hi ladies. Can I join!?
Firstly I am so sorry for the loss that you have all suffered. I hope that you all get you rainbows soon
I am 8dpo, cycle 9 since my second MC. Again not feeling anything so thinking this is another BFN cycle again. We were very lucky as we used to get pregnant very quickly. First time 4 cycles for my first Angel baby then only took 3 for the second Angel. Now 9 and nothing. I know 9 isn't many in the grand scheme of things but I can't help but think that the D and C has caused damage.
Me and DH will be seeing. The GP at the beginning of March if not pregnant as that will mark our 12 cycles of TTC since our second loss. So we will see what the next three cycles brings. Each month we have been timed to perfection, pre seed, OPKs, vitimins etc. So we know that we are doing all that we can do. Hope it's just been bad luck so far. This has been the hardest 18 months ever, but it has made us stronger and we will not give up on the dream of becoming parents xx

I really hope it happens for you soon! I'm 9DPO so we'll be testing around the same time, how nice would it be if we both got our BFP Have you tried anything like Raspberry Leaf Tea? I saw that someone used that after 10 months TTC and conceived that cycle. Might be worth a try

Hey! I hope so for you too. I have just read your story above. So sorry for the loss of your baby girl. What was her name? I think it's great they you are feeling so positive and are wanting to try again. I wouldn't worry about others, only you know when you are ready.
We will be testing around the same time 😊 My AF is due on Saturday. When is yours due? I have heard of raspberry leaf. How does it work!? I'm willing to try anything as don't want to go down the testing route if it can be avoided.
Would love to get a again soon

Thank you so much. Her name's Lily, after my husbands grandma. She'd be three months old Christmas Day. I miss her so much, my little professional cuddler. I'm in pain, of course, but a lot of the time I just sit and smile because I'm so in love with her 😍 Makes me know I'm ready to go again, no matter how scared I might get.

My AF is due Friday, I so hope it stays away! Been having cramps twinges again today.

I've just looked into it (I'm a biochemist, haha, does come in handy for checking whether this stuff is a load of crap or not) and it contains high antioxidants like egalic acid, so people take it to aid muscle strength/recovery in labour, but for TTC it can sort out messy cycles because it causes a longer luteal phase. Doesn't seem like it could hurt to try.

The only thing that is bothering me now at 7dpo and has been since 5dpo is constipation (TMI) worse then I remember having for years. Some waves of nausea but I get those from time to time on Metformin. My breasts are sore but not really any different then every cycle before this one.
Baby dust to y'all and I can't wait for hopefully some BFP reports in the next few days =)

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Hello, ladies. December seems to be lucky, as I've seen a lot of girls who have been ttc for a while get their BFP this month. I'm in cycle #5 of ttc after having a miscarriage in July and wonky cycles ever since. I was going to hold off until AF was due (Dec. 17/18) but I changed my mind and plan to test tomorrow. I'm so scared it'll be a BFN but I'll also be equally as anxious for it to be a BFP because of my history. My babies don't like to stick

Good luck to all of us and hopefully we all get BFPs soon!

Good day ladies im now 4dpoiui, this has been my third iui since my mc, im praying this month is my month, as well as everyone else waiting for their rainbows. I will be testing the 26th unless AF shows her face first. I promised I wont test any earlier as I know my hcg shot stays in for up to 13 days ( yes that really sucks). fx to everyone
