Merry Christmas all!! Have a wonderful day and here's to some new years bfps.

MIL actually took dh aside when I was put of the house yesterday and asked if I was pregnant! She said she had a feeling we were going to give her goood news. Sadly AF has rocked up in festive style today so I'm definitely out.

Onto the next cycle!

Snow, have a drink. Even if preg baby won't take any blood from you so I'll be fine.

First, hope work OK and your enjoy your delayed Christmas. NHS worker by any chance?

Fingers crossed for lots of bfp's for you all soon!

Merry Christmas TTCers!!!

Hope you all have a lovely day. Eat lots of pate, cheese and wine for those of us that can't and enjoy your last child free shindig fx

Bunch waking up at stupid o'clock is now normal for me whether I like it or not. If I don't need to pee my tummy feels crampy or I have a weird dream that wakes me up. I'll be shattered later though Hmm

Oh and hello newbies Grin

BunchOfBobs · 25/12/2015 05:23

Merry Christmas everyone. I'm not really going to be on my phone for the next day or so.'in enjoying my last Christmas as a none parent but very much looking forward to the excitement of next year. Body clock not adjusted to normal waking hours yet so I've a long wait until th rest of the house gets up.
I hope you all have a magical day, please enjoy extra helpings of pate, smelly cheese and wine for those of us who can't. Have a great one Smile

QuinnPerkins · 25/12/2015 02:58

Hi everyone, just dipping my toe into one of these threads for the first time.

I'm Quinn, 32, cycle 1. I'm CD 34 (post-pill messed up cycle - hope it settles soon as I've no idea what's going on). Not enjoying the stuff that's coming out of me though.

We are, well, not quite TTC, but no longer actively preventing! No pressure is the plan, just enjoy and see what happens. Smile

Merry Christmas to you all.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 25/12/2015 02:23

Snow exactly the same as me! I've had to wear pads the last two days because I was worried I was all drippy and that I'd smell or something! And same cm too! Odd!

It's all pinterest ni I'm a pinner! It's like virtual hoarding without the mess! I love it!

Merry Christmas all! Much love for every single one of you and fx for a lovely festive day with happiness and fun! 🎅👼🎁🎄🍼🌷⛄💒

firstgo1984 · 24/12/2015 18:22

snow have a drink for me! I'm off to work. 2 more nights til my Christmas!

Snowdog37 · 24/12/2015 17:52

I have got loads of cm. it's a creamy yellowish color. I sneezed and thought I'd wet myself Xmas Blush what's that all about then? Tempted to drink tonight (or until af shows up!) so I can stop all this crazy symptom spotting! Did an ic just to see and of course it's bfn. Never had this much fanny juice before. Feels gross and I'll be wearing pads even without af!

KatOnATinRo0f · 24/12/2015 17:15

So I just did another OPK and it was lighter than the one I did this morning?? I didn't pee for about 3-4 hours to try and concentrate the shit out of it... So either I've ovulated super early and missed my window, or it was too dilute or ??? Bugger.

What's fmu? I assumed it was first morning irine

bunch I'd love that to be true, but it does seem highly unlikely! Awww get your glad rags on, chill out and enjoy your Christmas at home with your family! Xmas Smile

Happy birthday pink ! Hope you've had a truly lovely day! You must be so excited to tell your dm and sis! Gorgeous news for baby jesus birthday!

canters bloody heck! I'd be mortified! A couple of people did say it to me on my wedding day "ooh your dm will be a grandma soon! " I just kept my mouth shut and smiled or said "not for a couple of years yet!" I didn't want anyone knowing we weren't planning on ttc immediately! Plus, if it takes us a while I definetly don't want them knowing! Congratulations on your imminent wedding though! My advice, remember to eat! I was so caught up in the day, people kept moving my plate and handing me drinks, so I ended up completely shit faced and I don't really drink it took us three days to consumate the marriage as it took me that long to get over the hangover! And enjoy it, if things don't go exactly to plan, just embrace it! You will love every minute!

dub af just means your body is working, it's a good thing! And yiu can enjoy Christmas drinks!

elle your welcome! My Internet has been intermittent today too!

snow I've got weird fanny juice today too! Grin and I'm weeing every 20 minutes, but thats fairly standard for me! I've got a bladder the size of a peanut!

kat mine from last Sunday was like that, the first one I took, the second, about 4 hours later was darker. I do mine mid afternoon + early evening.

Merry Christmas to all! harriet runner drink and why I did such a long post, I didn't want to miss anyone out!

Hi ladies,

Stats for the new thread:
33
Ttc #1
Cycle #3
CD16, likely to ovulate in 3/4 days...reuniting with OH in 3 days so hopefully we still have a chance this month!

Happy Birthday pink!! FlowersChocolate

Snow and Kat I've started using those too. Used clearblue last month though which recommend fmu so I must remember to use these ones in the afternoon!

Headachey the last three days...must Google hormone headaches at this time of cycle!

KatOnATinRo0f · 24/12/2015 15:31

Happy birthday pink
Thanks snow and why.
I used a sainsburys one last month but got nothing at all on about day 14. I may try them twice a day from now to see what's happening and if it gets darker at all.
But was excited to see some kind of line anyway !

Snowdog37 · 24/12/2015 15:05

Happy birthday pink! 🎉💐Cake

Whyissheontheship · 24/12/2015 15:04

I use them kat I didn't get anything darker than that but think I was testing a bit too late (looks like I ovulated the day before I took my first test) now it's basically blank. I think it depends on how concentrated your wee is how dark the line can get.

I hope you feel better soon!

Snowdog37 · 24/12/2015 15:03

Kat once mine started looking like that I did them twice a day, after lunch and then around 7pm. I got proper positive Sunday lunchtime and night, and it started getting feinter Monday lunch. But I could feel ovulation by then so it definitely happened for me within 24 hours of a proper dark positive. Test every 7-8 hours from now on. Afternoons are better apparently as the hormone is higher then. It's easy to miss the surge. If I only did Sunday morning and Monday morning it would have looked like I hadn't ovulated as the lines were only a little darker than yours is. But it definitely went dark Sunday lunch. Good luck!
