Who else is praying to conceive this month?
I’m on CD 1 so I’m praying I conceive this month. Had copper coil removed just over a month ago now, and we avoided conceiving last month as hubby didn’t want an August baby (he’s an aug bub himself)
I’ve always been regular with my cycle and regular with ovulation (continued tracking while on coil) so hoping we get lucky 🤞🏼

@Rumples that's the darkest one I've had, during the last minute of waiting it turned to the same darkness as the control line so i should be ovulating now because my test from 5 minutes ago is now faint

Rumples · 19/12/2020 14:10

@Alist12 keep testing every few hours & you might get your peak.

Alist12 · 19/12/2020 12:55

It's darker in person

Anyone know what this could mean.
Just done an opk it's just gone across and it's nearly a positive I should think so.
I am on cycle day 19 with irregular cycles.
Is this normal?

Hello! I’m TTC this month - came off cerazette 3 months ago and straight into regular periods (25-26 day cycles). Last cycle I decided to try ovulation test strips - tested a wide window (day 7-18) and all came back negative. Same is happening this month with a different brand. I’m testing first thing in the morning (per the instructions), same time every day. Feeling very demoralised - any advice?! I’ve always had regular periods etc (when not on the pill).

[quote Leah2501]@tuliprose2008 how many DPO are you?[/quote]
I have no idea, I came off the pill 9weeks ago. My son I fell pregnant on the pill but with my daughter I found out a couple weeks after taking the pill.

Twittwoo2020 · 19/12/2020 10:54

Cycle day 26 for me and either 11 or 12 DPO another BFN for me too!

So 14dpo. Cd26. BFN. Temp is highest it's ever been. 🤷‍♀️

EssentialHummus · 18/12/2020 21:26

Symptoms... last month I had insane sore boobs, bfn. I’ve basically given up on symptoms, no idea what my body’s doing at all Grin.

Still in my fertile window here and already wanting to test!

I think I’ll test 12 DPO or 13 DPO. Currently 6DPO. So days 12 and 13 will be Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

@Maria9876 in terms of symptoms I don’t think I’ve had any... Actually I read that any symptoms before 11DPO are actually signs of ovulation as opposed to pregnancy, as 11 days is when fetus implants.
So trying to avoid symptoms spotting. I have however had extra discharge, and haven’t noticed this before.

Maria9876 · 18/12/2020 21:00

Everyone else at what dpo did u all start getting symptoms.
My books are killing me, really sore/tender, heavy almost like engorged feeling

mich20208 · 18/12/2020 20:56

Spotting now so definitely wasn't a positive x

Maria9876 · 18/12/2020 20:38

[quote Leah2501]@Maria9876 oo same date! When do you plan on testing. This is my first TWW and I thought Christmas would make it go quicker but it feels so slowww[/quote]
I think I'm gonna try and wait it out until new year I have 1 clear blue digital test so don't wanna test too early, how about yourself

Actually question for everyone!

How many DPO do you plan on testing?
Plan on testing vs when you’ll probably test anyway

Rumples · 18/12/2020 17:42

@Wombat84 good luck for tomorrow 🤞

Wombat84 · 18/12/2020 16:07

Hi I'm new to mumsnet.

Currently 13dpo. Planning to test tomorrow.

Periods have always been irregular so no idea when I'm due. Last months luteal phase was 12 days. Previous month was 15 days.

We're still is shielding (have been since march) and I need to input my online shopping tomorrow for the last delivery before Christmas. So need to know whether I need to order alcohol! Lol x

Maria9876 · 18/12/2020 13:37

[quote Leah2501]@arc91 there is definitely a line there! Fingers crossed for you!

Who else is due AF around Christmas? For me AF is due 27/12... Wanting to test either Christmas Eve or Christmas morning[/quote]
My af is also due 27th of this month the wait is killing me now

EmbarrassingMama · 18/12/2020 12:34

Sorry to hear that @Twittwoo2020. Yes I’ll try and hold out till Sunday, if AF doesn’t show her face before then. Sad

Twittwoo2020 · 18/12/2020 12:12

@EmbarrassingMama sorry to hear about your ectopic. We have been trying since Jan and also had an ectopic in the middle. We so badly want to end the year on a happy note after everything that’s happened.

I will probably wait until Sunday to test again. How about you?
