AF due 26th Dec

AF due on 26th Dec, trying my hardest not to think about testing, especially since we weren't meant to be trying this month!
I have a ridiculous supply of tests upstairs and so wanting to test on saturday even though I know it's too early.
Not sure why I'm posting as nobody can help, just need to vent!

Anyone in the same boat?

I was absolutely positive I had implantation pains on Christmas Eve. They were really strong period pains but lower down than usual. They stopped completely sometime in the night. So in truth I suppose it is way too early to test 2 days later.

Definitely still a chance, don't give up hope until AF arrives! :)
Could be late implantation or something.

Bfn with late morning sample on a FRER. Not due until 28th. Do you think there is still a chance?

treacle a hug for you....

Still waiting here but not due for another 3 days. Cramps stopped yesterday so feel I'm still in with a chance as no more pains at all last night or this morning. Also I don't look pre-menstrual at all which is really unusual.

To anybody still waiting to test best of luck. I'm going to test on the 28th because I threw my wine away last night; doesn't feel right and I want to know for New Years Eve!

Got my AF this morning meaning a 35 day cycle this time instead of usual 30-31 that I have had since I came off the pill. I entered this on fertility friend and it's now showing loads of possible green days for next month instead of the usual three pale and one bright green for the predicted ovulation day. Is it just doing this as due to the long cycles it's no longer sure when I am ovulating? I am wondering if I should start temping to try to pin it down as I've just been going on the assumption that I would ovulate about 14 days before period is due.

ADifferentKindOfMum · 24/12/2013 10:16

Haha nice treacle nice. Absolutely symptom less. Due28th or after. Bit of cramping but seriously I'm ignoring everything.
Had a glass of vino ladt night. Not v tasty but it wasn't agreat wine. Might abstain tonight but only because generally it messes my sleep up.

I am driving myself nuts trying to predict my ACTUAL day of ovulation. Predictor kit said 'fertile' on Monday 16th...but then again on Thursday 19th so I'm assuming those days were my window..all good. So how many days post ovulation am I now would you say?

Hi all, would like to join in the thread! If I was having a "normal" length cycle for me I would have been due on Fri or Sat (20th or 21st) but I had a chemical last month Xmas Sad and no idea when a ov'd as I don't use OPKs or temp charts. Had a BFN on Sat so trying to hold out a few more days before trying again but think I might cave and do one in the morning! Been feeling nauseous and had cramping on and off over the past week, but driving myself crazy thinking symptoms are in my head!! Just want to know whether I can have a drink over the festive period or not!

Oh no threebee FX for you!
Thanks butterytoast will try and keep positive :)

Butterytoast · 23/12/2013 12:42

I didn't get a bfp until ertd due date (and I had tested every day for a week before that). I am very definitely pregnant now so don't lose hope!!

threebee · 23/12/2013 09:02

Big temp drop for me this morning so I think it's safe to say AF is on its way. Really hoped this could be it. :(

Hi everyone :)
toots I'm going to do the same. Need to calm down next month :(

toots123 · 23/12/2013 07:35

Its safe to say ive lost the plot!!

Im 7dpo and ive tested twice already! Dh and I have agreed we should test on 27th but Im sure I'll have tested loads by then haha
after af is here im really going to chill out and not do this next month. Driving myself mad :(

Tikkamasala · 23/12/2013 02:59

Joining you all as my AF was due on friday 20th, still no sign of it but I got a few negative tests (tested early, I think it was Wednesday, and then tested again Saturday morning). I don't even have any signs that my period is coming, normally get slightly bad skin but its fine... Have been having cramps but don't progress to anything. Feeling a bit sick the last week but not sure if I'm just imagining symptoms Confused I am going to try to just ignore over Christmas and not test. If no AF by dec 26 then I will test again first thing on 27th!
