3DPO today... Anyone else?

Got my first ever temperature predicted ovulation on 19th December on cd19 which was really much later than I expected. Anyone else want to join me in the 2ww over Christmas? I'm only seeing my DP from 27-29th so will probably be testing early so we can do a test together. FRERs at the ready 😂

Oh no! Hopefully next Christmas we'll both be in a different situation and will spend next Christmas Day knee deep in shitty nappies 😂 I'm 13 DPO so feeling less and less optimistic as FRERS are just coming back as white as a sheet!

@mrsp4 I cried for half of Christmas. I woke up with no children at home for the first time in 18 years. I had no partner with me and although I was surrounded by family later on once they'd gone I just fell apart.

I'm convinced I'm not pg. I'm 10dpo tomorrow and I know it will be a BFN and almost don't want to test

Oh FX it was implantation cramps! If it's any consolation me and DH have always had such a good relationship and never really argue and I think the long distance really makes you appreciate each other that bit more! I just feel like AF is going to show her ugly self tomorrow, would of had a BFP by now surely! Crazy how some people get BFPs so early on, however one my friends just recently got her BFP and she didn't get it on a HPT until she was 7 weeks so I should really feel a bit more hopeful but I just don't have a good feeling 👎🏼 and if it makes you feel any better at all I cried on Christmas Day for no reason at all! 🙈 then again it could of had something to do with the BFN I got that morning.

Thanks @mrsp4. I just can't shake off this feeling of misery. Been crying all afternoon. I had a day of really bad stabby stomach pain yesterday, really low down and to the right. Obviously I read everything into it! It's gone now though.

Long distance is awful. The pressure eto enjoy our time together is so great that when it's not perfect it feels awful

Oh bless you @whyhaveidonethis I know exactly how you feel me and DH done long distance for three years before I moved, I was in London and he was in Liverpool and we wasn't TTC then so I can only imagine how you must be feeling with that on your mind too! I hope you get your BFP real soon! Went out shopping today and couldn't help myself and just went in to mothercare looking around and it made me so sad!

@mrsp4 hugs. I'm having a shit time of it at the moment too. Can't seem to cheer up at all. I feel so bloody miserable. DP and I don't live together, as he lives near his DD 135 miles away and works shifts, so it's always difficult to spend time together. We plan to move closer together when I conceive, but the distance makes everything so bloody difficult. It puts so much pressure on the time we do have together. He's been down with his DD since boxing day and my DC have done nothing but argue and fight and its stressed us both out so much. I think he's glad he's just left. I won't see him now for a week and I miss him so badly.

@whyhaveidonethis Tested again today and BFN AF due tomorrow so just waiting for her to show up now, feel so disheartened and feel like a failure! Something that's supposed to be so natural and it's not happening sorry for ranting I just feel like all I'm seeing and hearing is babies and pregnancy announcements and I'm happy for all my friends but can't help but think when is it going to be my turn. this is third month of TTC and I know that's nothing compared to some people but I'm just worrying incase there's something wrong, How are you doing?

purplerainbows · 28/12/2018 17:59

@whyhaveidonethis thank you and good luck for testing tomorrow, I will have my fingers crossed for you🤞

purplerainbows · 28/12/2018 17:57

@tobeornottobe1 thank you, I'm either 10 or 11dpo not 100% which day I ovulated. Got a super squinty line at 8 or 9 dpo that I wasn't convinced by and then the clear one today, which confirmed it. Doesn't feel real 🙈

So pleased for you @purplerainbows congratulations.

I couldn't take my temp this morning as I've misplaced my thermometer 😔

I'll test with a IC tomorrow morning as I've got a few in the cupboard and I'll be 10dpo then.

Congrats @purplerainbows that's amazing news! How are you feeling? How many DPO are you? X

purplerainbows · 28/12/2018 07:36

Thank you everyone, I left it a couple of days and did another test. Definitely a positive, feel like I can't quite believe it's real. How is everyone else doing?

3DPO today... Anyone else?

@Ashleigh95 I’ve just seen i missed your post. How are you feeling today?

Clementine19 · 27/12/2018 13:18

Chart sounds good @whyhaveidonethis. Let’s hope it’s Implantation pain?
Feeling a few sharp feelings in lower abdomen today, but that could be from sitting with a heavy toddler asleep on me for an hour+😄

@MrsP4 Dont blame you. It messes with your head. All the best. X

MrsP4 · 27/12/2018 09:38

@Clementine19 My Luteal phase is 14 days, I've decided I'm not doing any OPKs next cycle I just want a month off of it all 🙈

Clementine19 · 27/12/2018 05:58

What’s your luteal phase like @MrsP4?
I’m with you. It’s dishearteningXmas Sad

MrsP4 · 26/12/2018 12:47

No girls didn't test today just gonna wait and see if AF shows up in a few days, wrote on another thread and the girls are saying it's just the test line so who knows, I don't feel pregnant even though I don't know what being pregnant feels like 🙈 it's cycle 3 for me 3rd month off the pill and my cycles have been normal after stopping the pill first was 30 days, second 27 days and third which is now currently on day 25 definitely been ovulating, and DTD on the right days so I just don't get why it's not happening, I know it's only been 3 months and there's people out there that have been trying longer but I'm just the most impatient person ever! 🙈

Clementine19 · 26/12/2018 12:32

@purplerainbows- looks like a line to me! Exciting!

How is everyone feeling?
Exhausted this morning. Husband took the kids and I crashed out on the sofa. 7dpo today.

MrsP4 · 26/12/2018 09:35

@purplerainbows I know it's so bizarre I've done loads of theses tests and never had anything like that going to test again on Friday and see but I've had no PMS symptoms or anything else so really confused

purplerainbows · 26/12/2018 09:16

@MrsP4 that line on your FRER is really strange, I've not seen one like that before.

purplerainbows · 26/12/2018 09:15

Woke up with a funny feeling so I caved and did a test. What do you think? Still super early 8 or 9dpo
