2ww :( any buddies?

Hahaha Loopyla I will definitely be getting very tipsy over Christmas.

Fx for next month. My birthday is on the 21st and af due the 22nd so it would be a nice birthday present.

Good luck to the rest of you waiting to test.

Afternoon All, I'm quite new here and was planning on starting out on the Jan bus, but have found myself in the TWW early. Didn't expect to OV in my first month off BC but had a BFP OPK on CD13 which was 13th Dec. Does that mean I'm now DPO9? Nervous & Excited & trying not to symptom spot Can I join you all in the longest days ever!!?!

Stiff yourself?!? Wtf? Sounds a bit rude!

Stuff yourself obviously...

Oh bugger! I'm so sorry Beautician

On the upside make sure you stiff yourself with pregnancy contraband foods & lovely lovely alcohol

Yes full af this morning. Hopefully it will be 3 days like last month and over with before Christmas

Oh Beautician are you sure? Update us tomorrow am, I'm keeping fx it won't be AF.

I'm out ladies. Just wiped and I have pinkish streaks in my cm so af will visit tonight/tomorrow

Haha, true! We're hosting this year so I'm not planning on getting too plastered anyway.

Hi Serenity, welcome!

It's unlikely that you'd get a bfp on Xmas Eve being that you'll only be 8dpo - I'd personally enjoy the last alcoholic drinks while you can

Hi, everyone, I'm pretty new to these boards, just started TTC #1. I'm currently 5DPO with zero symptoms but hey, it's still very early. I'm thinking of doing a test on Christmas Eve just to see if I can drink or if I should walk around with coke and pretend it has vodka in it!

P.S. I'm counting on Christmas distractions to make me forget the dates and new year will be here before we know it.

Feel free to test early and share though!!

I missed the question on my friend... She has been to the GP lots but I'm not sure she always agrees with the advice she gets and most of the tests come back suggesting she shouldn't have a problem... She does have a son already but has since had an ectopic as well as the cps and one later 9 week mmc.

She is an amazing optimist over it all though! (Although with a serious addiction to POAS which I never quite understood before but can now see the slippery slope looming in front of me )

To be honest last time I knew what the test was going to say before I took it, so testing became less urgent. My comment to DP was that if it was negative then I needed to go to the doc anyway to find out why every bit of me felt different in terms of odd cramping, queasiness etc

I think if I feel that obviously pg again by this time next week I'll be able to smugly 'know' without officially knowing and wait until new year. If I'm not so confident then I'll be nervously waiting to test and it'll be negative whenever I do it...

HAHAHAHAHA!! You did make me chuckle!

On the one hand, yes it would be good to avoid a potential cp situation again because of the little heartbreak each time.

But I think I'd rather know (just my personal feelings at this moment) if I have a cp rather than just a late period as you're not supposed to use tampons (risk of infections) for the subsequent bleeding & I think it would be better to know if they're recurrent so you could then go to the GP to possibly get it investigated? Has your friend gone to GPs out of interest? I would if they kept happening myself.

So now who was expecting a more summarised answer?

I'm not sure I'll be able to wait til the 30th...

Nothing like overthinking things.... I bet you were expecting a one word answer

Original plan was to hold off until the 2nd but I ordered tests in a bit early (in case of Christmas post problems) so I may not manage that long!!

I'm away from home (ILs) from 27th to 30th so will be easy to resist until back home.

I waited until 15dpo last month partly because of a friend who has had lots (maybe 4?) cp so I was hoping by waiting until definitely after AF due I'd avoid that.... (nevermind). I'm also less confident on ov date this time.

Let me know what you decide so I can use you as an excuse to test earlier than planned

ditzzy just out of interest when will you be testing? Just so I can copy you borrow some of your willpower

I'm 99.9 % sure I'm not pregnant. I only have cb digitals in anyway & they aren't very sensitive. I'm going to hold out until after Christmas I think although af will probably arrive in the mean time.

Loopy - loving your optimism for everyone.

My DP has just announced he's feeling sick, which has made me think exactly the opposite to your advice in my household! Unless he's managed to catch pg symptoms off me too

Buuuuuuuuut are you sure it's not pg related? Are you going to POAS just to make sure?

Ah Beautician sorry to hear that, you may caught it from me

My toddler had it last Saturday/Sunday/Monday, I had it last Sunday/Monday, it was no fun

Hope it passes quickly for you, keep up with the water x

Jane I'm using the Ovia app too.

Oh ladies I feel awful today. I have woken with a horrendous tummy bug. So if af is due tomorrow this is sure to delay it.

I'm using the Ovia app as it's helpful for recording imaginary symptoms & helping me track when my period should be.

Jane - I'm not using any apps, just chatting to people on here! My strategy is just not to test until I'm at least a day or two late.

Ditzzycat actually stopped talking to me the night before I started spotting. At the time I thought maybe the novelty had worn off, after all he is a typical cat with a two day attention span...
