POAS Anon Christmas Party 🌲🧑‍🎄 Ho ho ho-ws your line progression?! Thread 3

@Bells20 glad I’m not the only one confused by it! 😂 no I haven’t bothered testing, I think by looking at my chart I am either 8DPO or else 12/13DPO... I am going to assume 8DPO for now and if in 4 days time there is no sign of AF I will test then!
I didn’t DTD in fertile period if I ovulated 8 days ago so it would be the immaculate conception to be honest! 😂

Eeeeeek @Foxl2222 just seen this, that looks like a BFP to me!! That's what my first FRER looked like, definitely a line there! Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow!! What an exciting month it's been for you!!

@positivitytree2020 if I'm honest I feel confused by your chart too haha but there's a definite temp increase so fingers crossed for a decent LP at the very least and maybe even that BFP! Have you tested just incase you are actually 13dpo?

@PowerOfFlowers that's so frustrating, sorry to hear your appointments been cancelled. My booking appointment is on Monday and I'm expecting that they'll move it to a phone call or something, if they've got the staff of course. Hopefully they can get you booked in soon! Fingers crossed for your scan, I found mine so reassuring so hope you do too!

@DrS44 hope you're doing ok!

Thank you @DrS44 how are you keeping?☺️
It showed up quite quickly, maybe within a minute I noticed something and by the 3 minutes it was more clear.
I'm worried now cos I've been googling indents and apparently the frer indents can be quite strong😳 but the line def looks pink to me so hope that's a good sign🙏🙏 xx

@GreenApplesYo eekkkk scan is fab! How exciting for you 😍😍

@Foxl2222 I can't remember if I congratulated you yet but amazing news on the engagement 😍😍 so exciting!!! What a way to end the year!! 💍💍💍 and now it's looking like a great start to a year too 🙊🙊🙊 that defo looks like a line to me! Did it show up straight away?! Aww man so exciting! I don't think I would sleep 🤣 xxxx

Thanks @GreenApplesYo I didn't actually know that! Good to know incase it's still faint! 😊 I keep looking at the test 😂😂 I'm more convinced each time as it's def a pink line🤞

Aww good luck with the scan on Sunday @PowerOfFlowers, bet it will be surreal then! I think I'll book a private scan if this sticks🙏

Xx

@Foxl2222 I can defo see something there, check again tomorrow and hopefully you’ll have a better idea then!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 How exciting, imagine engagement and BFP all in the same cycle! 🥳

Thanks @GreenApplesYo appreciate your thoughts! 😊 pity I didn’t keep going with the OPKs, at least I kept the BBT going just harder to pinpoint when that’s all I have! 13 day LP would be amazing I’m normally just 11! 😊

@PowerOfFlowers oh yes that's right, depending on which app. Totally understand the anxiety. I found the first 12wks such a limbo. It dragged on! Plus it's an awkward time time to be needing the NHS for anything. I was really glad I had an early scan, it was nice getting an accurate date, and due date as well. Hopefully yours will be reassuring too 🙂

@GreenApplesYo I'm 7+2 or 8+2. I think I'm just a bit anxious with everything that's going on and had worked myself up for the appointment tomorrow. Disappointed but what can we do ehh! Have a private scan on Sunday so at least I'll find out more then 🤞🏻

@Foxl2222 off the top of my head I think the CB how many weeks tests aren't as sensitive as the FRERs so it might be better to wait a few more days? Haha totally get the urge to keep POAS though.

By the way, you probably know this already but HCG levels tend to double over a 48hr period so you might not see a big change in the FRER tomorrow but it might be more obvious by Thursday?x

@positivitytree2020 oh sorry just seen your message too! I think it looks like you ovulated on cd22 with a fallback rise pattern in your bbt? Which would mean a 13 day LP by cd35 I think? Which is good 🙂

Also apologies if this posts twice... My first attempt to post disappeared! 🙄

Thank you ladies! 🤞🤞 it's a bit darker in the morning then will know for sure! I have a CB digital that I'm tempted to do out of curiosity but not sure they are early detection, it's the how many weeks one? Anybody know, I've thrown away the box 🙈

Aww @PowerOfFlowers that's a shame about the appointment, how frustrating! Hoping there's not going to be much more disruption to pregnancy appointments etc with this covid! 😔 xx

Oh no @PowerOfFlowers that's a shame! The booking in does feel like a first 'official step', it's annoying to have it postponed. How many weeks are you now? (sorry if you've mentioned this recently and I missed it).

If it makes you feel better, mine wasn't really that interesting haha! If you don't have any specific health concerns/circumstances I don't think it would matter which week they do it at really? But frustrating if you had specific questions you wanted to ask.

My first midwife appointment tomorrow morning has been cancelled because they don't have enough staff 😢 They said they'll call again to arrange another one which might be in two weeks time 😢

Omg @Foxl2222 !! 👀👀👀 I don't even have to squint at that! Eeeee!! Ok lets stay calm (me 🤣) 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for tomorrow morning for you now!

Eeek @Foxl2222 I think that could be a BFP?? It looks like a stronger line than an indent? Especially in the 2nd photo.

Interested to see what result you get in the morning now!! Obviously best not to get too excited like you said, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞

Ok so my frers arrived... wasn't expecting them until tomorrow! Ofcourse I couldn't resist! BUT I think we may have a squinter!!!!!! Would love to know your thoughts, as I know this could be my line eyes, or evap etc so don't want to get too excited!! Have attached a few pics in different lights xx

Thanks @PowerOfFlowers! 😊 I had initially thought the 28th too, but I actually did an OPK that day coz we were back home and it was Low! 🤔 so thinking it was before that, hard to tell from my temps tho! 🤔😂

Morning all.
Hope you are all ok after that announcement last night. I had a little cry.
Ooh @Foxl2222 - I would say 12dpo - only because that's when I tested 🤣 But also, I held off until then because I didn't want to do the whole line eyes thing and didn't want to be disappointed.
Hi @positivitytree2020 - I'm no expert and I'm also new to all this but I think you ovulated either the 24th or 28th. I'm sure someone else understands it better. But, look at your bbt climbing higher! Nice work!

@GreenApplesYo what a beautiful scan, so happy for you! ❤️ Amazing to see the progress! 😍

I’ve no idea where I am this cycle, just waiting for AF! 😂 I ovulated way later than expected (I thought it was going to be nonovulatory cycle but my temps indicate otherwise) so likely missed my fertile period when DTD!
I stopped OPKs from CD20 coz we were staying with family over Xmas, and tbh just wanted a break from it! 🤷🏼‍♀️ And couldn’t DTD while we were there either! 😂

Here’s my graph, any insights as to when I ovulated are welcome! 😂 I think FF is putting it too early! I noted cramps in my Ovia App CD24 - CD26 if that helps! 😃

Don’t care about being pregnant this cycle I know I’m not coz I missed fertile period, but wouldn’t mind knowing where I’m at so I can see whether my LP has increased or not! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 @

Thanks @bells20 and @Foxl2222 yes it's nice being able to tell more people now 🙂

I'd test at 10dpo as well @Foxl2222 but mainly because I'm impatient! I did get a BFP at 9dpo, but I think it's more common to get it a couple days later from what I've seen on here.

@Foxl2222 that's exciting, I'd lost track of where everyone is so hadn't realised you were close to testing! sounds like it's been a relatively stress free TWW which is great! I would say test at 10dpo, I think you'll have a good chance of an accurate result then, but if negative defo test again a couple of days later. So my answer as a true POAS addict is both haha x

Hey ladies!!
Sorry I've been in my little engagement bubble the last week🙈 which has been a great distraction in the TWW! 8dpo today and haven't given it much thought tbh until today. Don't think I've had any symptoms really, definitely wasn't symptom spotting at all but would have noticed if there was anything major🤷‍♀️ Def no implantation bleed or sore boobs anyway!

I think someone asked if I was going to keep ttc or leave it and start wedding planning. And I must admit, I really did think about focusing on the wedding and forgetting about TTC for the foreseeable...I quite like the idea of being child free on the wedding day lol but in the grand scheme of things, we are so keen to be parents and think we are ready now so we are going to keep trying and see what happens!🥰🤞

Oh @AMS19 so lovely to hear from you. So sorry for what you have had to go through! Stay strong! Looking forward to you rejoining us very soon❤️❤️❤️

@GreenApplesYo wow!! The scan pic, that's amazing!!! You must be so relieved! Now the real excitement starts when you can reveal to people☺️☺️

Good luck @Dex1521 sending you lots of baby dust!! 🙌

How is everyone?
I know this has been asked a billion times! But when do you ladies think i should test? I'm thinking wed (10dpo) or fri (12dpo) 😫 xx

@GreenApplesYo utterly fantastic news, what a beautiful scan picture. You must feel so pleased! Lovely to hear everything's looking good! 13 weeks feels like it's gone in the blink of an eye but also super slowly at the same time strangely!

@PowerOfFlowers I know there was guidance announced recently stating that partners should be allowed to attend maternity appointments but I wonder whether this new lockdown will change things, I'm feeling slightly anxious about it now!

@Dex1521 wishing you lots of luck and baby dust this cycle! Looking forward to hearing future updates xx

@Foxl2222 definitely missed your post about your engagement!!! Wonderful news! So pleased for you congrats!!

Hey @PowerOfFlowers yes he was allowed in for the scan itself. Then had to go and wait outside while I had the blood done/quick follow up with the midwife. I did call them on Friday to check if he could come in and they said it would be fine, so worth calling ahead for reassurance? At the moment the guidance is that partners should be able to attend scans, but given the situation in London I guess that could change? I hope not.

I'm in Cumbria where we do have highish case numbers now. But the hospital seemed calm and everyone was super friendly and helpful (not saying they're not busy on the covid ward, just that it felt safe where I was which was great).

Had a nice day chatting to my Mum (who is almost silly with excitement), siblings and a couple of friends who have had their own babies recently.

Fingers crossed for more BFPs soon by the way 🙂 hope things work out for everyone else too xx

Awww look at that @GreenApplesYo ☺️ So happy all is fine with the baby for you and 13+4 too! Time feels like it's gone quickly hasn't it? Were you allowed to bring your DP to the scan? I'm starting to get worried that my DP won't be allowed to come to my 12 week a month tomorrow. At the moment, it's ok here in London but with rising cases that can change 😬
