🐉 The Dragon Slayers 🐉

Thanks @HerringGull. I just want AF to start and be done with it.
@Pudding01 yes, it is my longest LP so far, so that's good news. If AF starts properly tomorrow maybe my LP will be 12 days but I'm not sure if spotting doesn't count??
There's no more blood now but my CM is sort of a light brown, so I'll just wait to see how it develops.

Oh no @Cc7750 hope all is well x

Oh no @unCliche, sorry it isn't the month this month. Such a hard process when it begins to look positive. But did I see you say it was you longest LP?

@Cc7750 I hope it hasn't spread to your family. Last thing you need, especially at Xmas x

@Cc7750 oh great... Let's hope you haven't caught anything. That would be the last thing you want for Christmas! Good luck!

@unCliche sorry hun, just think at least you can drink copious amounts of wine without the guilt at Xmas..

The brother has just called, sent home from work after being in close contact with someone that is positive last Friday. I was with him Friday night.
(It was at a builders merchant and a screen was up between him and guy serving so 🤞🏻but he touched his debit card)..
He’s now off for a test but this could be fun for the whole family!

@Cc7750 yeah I think AF is starting. Nothing when I wipe yet but my cervix is bloody. I think I'm definitely out anyway.

@unCliche but then my temps weren’t as high as yours either so that could be a good thing... I’m sorry I can’t say much more, I’m still a learner!

@unCliche I also had a dip at 12dpo but I will admit it wasn’t as low as that. But one day dip is not a strong enough indicator of period or pregnancy... did you saw AF has lightly started?

My chart btw

My temps pretty much plummeted this morning and it looks like AF is starting so definitely out this cycle. 11 day LP though

@RR21 don't rule it out yet if you still have 4 days before AF due. It could just be too early to test 🙏

@Cc7750 thanks, feel so much better for letting all that pressure out. My temps went up again this morning, but I don't that means anything until it's close to AF, which isn't until Boxing Day (yay). Glad you're aren't having too many of the horrible early pregnancy symptoms just yet z

@Pudding01 I haven’t cried or anything yet! But saying this, this time of year I am more sentimental defo and I don’t blame you for getting emotional about the new Xmas plans. A few too many wines sounds quite fun! 7dpo a few days countdown. I can’t help you with symptoms, yesterday my boobs really hurt, this morning I’m up without a bra, half the time I don’t feel any different!

@RR21 shame but your not due on until Friday, everyone is different but I don’t think I got my positive this far before my AF date. Your temps still high? :)

Done a FR test this morning 11DPO AF due Friday Christmas Day and its a BFN 😟 🤞 next month x

@unCliche I hope you have a better result ? 🤞🤞💜

Hey everyone. Just caught up on the thread... Looks like we have 2 testers tomorrow! Good luck ❤

My Nessie is still sitting strong lol Waking up to 7dpo in the morning. Went a bit hard on the wine this weekend after the Christmas news. First emotional response I've had since March. I even cried at strictly! Does progesterone make you emotional?
I'm in tier 3 still but it has changed the plans for the 5 days. OK now though 👌just want my BFP Xmas eve x

Ooooh let us know girls!! 🤞🏻 For you!!

@RR21 @unCliche so we have two potential testers tomorrow.. exciting 🤞🏻

Sorry I've been quiet just catching up on this thread now, its been a crazy weekend of work and being put in Tier 4 in Peterborough has made me feel a bit 😟 but hey ho. Hope everyone is OK 💜 hoping to do a test tomorrow as will be 11DPO.

@unCliche can’t believe how well you are managing not to test again haha!!!

@Cc7750 yay glad you are starting to share your news- so exciting!! And glad the extortionate prune juice worked hahaha! With DS I had ALOT of pulling and twinges in the couple of weeks after my bfp.
I’m defo having a drink or two over Xmas but I’m in healthcare and working part of Xmas sadly! Still gonna make it to see family briefly tho so will make the most of it ☺️
Hope everyone else’s plans aren’t too ruined?

@AlisonWhite brilliant news!! Hopefully you feel a little calmer about the situation. My Xmas at the moment looks normal on Xmas day and I will go to my mums but this could change at any point.

@EllyNC look at mine above, I’m no expert but I’d say mine was a gradual rise and some dips along the way! 1dpo talk about run up to Xmas nerves but look in oldern times we would have had no idea if pregnant or not so relax, I’m a believer of everything in moderation (just my opinion) so have a small glass of wine, enjoy the run up to Xmas and testing! I won’t lie I will

@unCliche exactly everyone is different, google is full of what things should look like but in reality dips, rises, it all happened for me. I actually still temp, I must stop and I will as of tomorrow (she says).

My cramps have stopped, although I have these mild twinges but I’m trying to not over analyse and the prune juice worked so I feel lighter and not sick now (sickness not linked to BFP). And apart from sore chest I’m all good! told my mums and sister, we are all so close I couldn’t not. Just dad to tell but I’ll wait a week as oddly I think he’ll be the one who is overly excited (but I can’t leave him out and what will be will be)

@EllyNC Oh no, does that mean you won't be spending Christmas with the in-laws then? This whole thing is so frustrating. @HerringGullI haven't tested today. I'm waiting to see if AF shows up as last cycle's LP was 10 days so based on that, I'm due today.

Thanks for sharing your chart @Cc7750. It helps to see what others have experienced. My temp went down slightly today but looking at your chart, it probably doesn't matter!

@AlisonWhite That's so good to hear! You must feel so relieved now?

@AlisonWhite great to hear that you’ve been discharged! How long until the 12 week scan? Sure you’ll feel more reassured after that ☺️
How is everyone else who got their bfp- feeling okay?
@unCliche did you test?
I remembered to temp this morning lol- was on the higher side but my temps have been up and down when I look at my chart. So who knows! Do people’s tend to go way up in one day or gradually?? I’m going to just roll with that I’m 1 dpo, lol!

@Cc7750 discharged from early p unit. Have phone call with midwife tomorrow then wait for 12 week scan. Had a little spotting this morn so trying not to panic. I had implantation bleeding at start so hoping just a blood vessel.
Hopefully the 4 doesn't hit Brighton, although it sounds like whole UK lockdown imminent in Jan.

Is everyone ready for Xmas? (However that may look) xx
