Anyone else on the TWW and hoping for a Christmas miracle

Hi everyone,

This is our first cycle TTC, and whilst I promised myself I would stay calm and collected, truthfully I am the total opposite. I can't switch off from thinking about it.

It's taken my OH a while to come to terms with trying to start a family. Whilst we have been together since we were 15 (now 27) he always wanted to earn more, to have a bigger house etc but he's come to finally realise that it's never the right time and we just have to go for it. I was so so pleased he was finally ready but promised we would keep it relaxed and calm. If it happens, it happens,

But working from home and not having anything else to do, I just can't switch off from my mind wondering 🙈 wondered if there was anyone else in the same boat who just wants to chat really?

I'm due AF on Christmas Day so it would be such a Christmas miracle if she doesn't come.

@Alicia870 I really hope for you that’s not the case ☹️ Maybe book a docs appointment? Fingers crossed it’s all good and stays. And so sorry to hear about your baby boy, heart breaking.

@Foundmyfeet ffs AF got you? Yep 2 of my friends also announced their pregnancy yesterday.

AF still isn’t here for me, so odd! And don’t even feel like she’s on her way.

Hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday xxx

Foundmyfeet · 26/12/2020 09:04

Oh, how could I forget?!? Another pregnancy announcement was made yesterday...obviously not by me! Confused

Foundmyfeet · 26/12/2020 08:53

Good morning Aunt Flo!! Not nice to see you, you b**ch!!

Well, Santa didn't bring me a BFP. Actually, Santa didn't bring me much at all!

Despite my static smiley face and following the SMEP, there is no little bean this month. Becoming a little concerned that the quality of my eggs are shite now.
Going downstairs to clean up the aftermath of Christmas and to put away the presents I didn't get! Lol! I did get a few nice bits from friends, but DH didn't make it to the shops in time before tier 4!

Did Santa bring any BFP's for anyone?!

@Alicia870 I'm sorry that you lost your baby boy so late on in your pregnancy. I can only imagine how devastating that was. So I understand your worries about falling pregnant again particularly after the chemical pregnancy in October. I'm praying that your gut feeling is wrong and that this little bean ends up as a sullen, stroppy teenager banging doors and stomping around the house 15 years from now. Xx

Alicia870 · 26/12/2020 07:42

I've had 3 mornings of positive frers but they aren't getting darker :(
This happened with my last pregnancy in October too. AF due today I'm 14dpo and anytime I've been able to progress before the first line has shown up straight away right pink after doing the test.
These are my tests. I know it's going to end again :( my heart is just broken so much baby news and grieving my little baby boy I lost in the summer.

@Giraffle AF no show for me too and BFN this morning. Also waiting for the 29th!

Giraffle · 25/12/2020 21:40

AF still a no show! Normally I start on either Cycle day 28 or cycle day 33 never in between. Still got another BFN this morning so think AF Is waiting for day 33 which will be on 29th. I’m 14 DPO so unlikely to be pregnant this month 🙁 any BFPs today for the ones who were waiting? 😃 hope everyone had a good Christmas

Alicia870 · 24/12/2020 20:28

Hi ladies. I'm 12dpo and had a bfp this morning (I wish I could be over the moon but after a late loss at 22 weeks followed by a chemical in October I'm just so afraid).
On wiping earlier saw a bit of very slightly pink/brown stained discharge.
Wish this wasn't ruining my Christmas but just so scared. Any hope? :(

justwanttobemum · 23/12/2020 22:44

Couldn't hold out any longer bought a test today and bfn. AF on her way to ruin Christmas I can feel it. Gutted ☹️

Mariex1989 · 23/12/2020 14:55

@Foundmyfeet haha absolutely love a snowball! Definitely a must. Just been and done the dreaded shop 🙈
Amazing! Enjoy your extra days!!
Can’t believe it’s Christmas Eve Eve!

How’s everyone feeling?
AF still hasn’t shown her face and the latest I’ve ever come on would be tomorrow. God knows what my body is playing at this month.

@justwanttobemum bless you! I know the feeling. Hopefully it’ll be your turn sooner rather than later.

Good luck to everyone testing the next few days 🤞🏻 xx

justwanttobemum · 23/12/2020 12:16

Ugh I'm now dreading the next few days. Opened Instagram last night to a pregnancy announcement and today another one plus an engagement. And I know there's going to be more and more coming 😩 cried last night when I saw it. Feel like it'll never be me 🥺

Foundmyfeet · 23/12/2020 09:17

Morning ladies! How is everyone today? Today is my baking day and got lots to do! Looking forward to getting it all ready for tomorrow and Christmas Day. My DH is Eastern European so we have 2 full days of eating!
@dano99 thank you hun. Fingers crossed for you too Daffodil

dano99 · 22/12/2020 19:56

[quote Foundmyfeet]@Mariex1989 you'll be fine! Just prep, prep, prep on Christmas Eve and it will all go swimmingly on Christmas Day. Oh and it's VERY important to drink snowball cocktails while you're prepping! It's the law! Lol!

@Giraffle ah sorry you got a BFN. But it's not over this month until AF shows her face. Hopefully she won't and you'll end up with a BFP instead.

@dano99 I think we all empathise with you here hun. Happened to me only last month. I was 4 days late and was almost convinced it's be a BFP, but like you, it was the whitest BFN I'd ever seen. Try not to feel too disheartened. [/quote]
It's such a shitty feeling isn't it! My fingers are crossed for you ❤️

dano99 · 22/12/2020 19:54

[quote Amyc94]@dano99 you're not alone 💛 I had the exact same this morning too and felt such strong symptoms. I'm still hopeful as it is still early. I have everything crossed for you!

When is AF due? [/quote]
Thank you lovely ❤️ AF due Christmas Day so still time but something about this BFN hit me differently this month. I think it was my glimmer of hope in the shit show of year 2020 has been was hoping to end it on a high! Xx

I'm going to catch up on the thread his evening but just needed to tell someone (not telling other half yet) that I tested today I think 10dpo and was the whitest BFN not even a glimmer of hope 😔 I know it's early but it felt like a kick in the teeth I've had so many symptoms this month and had such high hopes from using the clear blue advanced for the first month...

Fingers crossed still I suppose... lots of love to you all ❤️ so glad this community is here for support ❤️

Giraffle · 22/12/2020 10:15

So I gave in to the urge to test and got a BFN this morning with CB 6 day early one 😞 I’m 10 DPO and normally AF arrives 12 - 13 DPO, so I think that me out of the running this month. Sad

Mariex1989 · 22/12/2020 09:51

@Foundmyfeet hahah I hope so! It’s my first time hosting Christmas so I don’t really have a clue what to do 🙈 at least there’s only 5 of us so don’t have to cook for a huge group.
I’m really hoping it’s pg sign for you and not dreaded AF! 🤞🏻

@Emmgrem yeah frer with fmu for me too. This one was actually stark white unlike the others that had faint lines

Amyc94 · 22/12/2020 09:41

@Emmgrem yes used the FRERS with first wee of the morning 🙈

OP posts:
Foundmyfeet · 22/12/2020 09:41

@Mariex1989 oh poor you! But, hey, it may get you out of cooking the turkey this year?! Lots of hot toddies too!!
I'm feeling a bit off. Don't know if it's from not sleeping that great or...?!?
Boobs are full and sore but that's also a PMS symptom for me. Let's see. Either way, by Jan 1st I'll know if Santa has brought me a BFP!

Emmgrem · 22/12/2020 09:04

@Amyc94 and @Mariex1989 did you girls test with FRERs?

Mariex1989 · 22/12/2020 08:41

@Amyc94 super early though so hopefully it’ll change in a couple days 😊.

@Foundmyfeet you’re so strong not testing until then! How’re you feeling?

Hi @Giraffle when are you thinking of testing? Best of luck!

Woke up feeling so run down and sick, did a test, BFN 😂 why can’t I stop myself from POAS! anyway looks like I’ve got a lovely seasonal cold just in time for Christmas, fab!

Foundmyfeet · 22/12/2020 08:22

@Amyc94 - thanks for the birthday wishes. I had a lovely weekend thanks. Don't lose heart. Try again in a few days. You may just have tested a little early.

@jasmineh - thanks for the birthday wishes also. How are you feeling?

@Giraffle - Welcome aboard! I'm not testing early. I'm due on Christmas Day so I'm going to wait until NYE at least before testing. I was 4 days late last month; did a test which was a BFN and then came on 12 hours later.

I'm feeling a little "off" today. I haven't been sleeping great the last few nights and I did have a busy weekend so I'm thinking it could just be that? Don't want to read too much into it.

Amyc94 · 22/12/2020 07:16

@Giraffle hey 👋🏼 welcome! Let us know how you get on, so exciting!

It's good that you have the willpower to not test early!

OP posts:
Amyc94 · 22/12/2020 07:16

Just took a test (couldn't help myself) 🙈 but it was a BFN.

Wish I hadn't taken it now as it just makes me think I was imagining it all.

I'm only 10DPO so I know it can still just be too early so I'm going to wait to see if AF shows her face now 🙈

I hope everyone else is doing well?
