@Goodgoodthings ooo I always get mad vivid dreams when pregnant!! Any other symptoms? Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

whatsthecraic91 · 12/12/2021 15:27

@Goodgoodthings yes they know and are fuming 😂 I'm only going to be back about 15/16 weeks before I finish again 🙈

Katie2021 · 12/12/2021 10:58

@Chanel05

Here’s the pictures so That clear blue was after 10 mins so doesn’t count but just wondering does that look like an evap line im guessing?

The Tesco one you can see a faint line now but this again this is after 10 mins now, it was the exact same line but v v v v faint within the 3 mins. ( you couldn’t even see on camera so faint, could have just been my eyes haha)

And the first response is looking completely negative to me so I think I’m not pregnant xx if im not I jusg want my Af to start so I know where I’m up to with everything! Xx

@Chanel05 hey sorry don’t think my reply posted. I’m now 10 days late on my period .. cycle day 42 and still in limbo! with no sign of AF! It’s driving me crazy now!

I did a cheap Tesco one a yesterday and it looked like the faintest line ever ( I might have had line eyes!) but it did get slightly stronger after the time which doesn’t count.

So then I did a clear blue test that looked to have a faint line with in the time limit that me and my partner could see, but when I tried to take a picture you couldn’t see it! Anyway about 10 mins later it looked to turn into an evap line, I’ll attach a picture of when I took it (I don’t think you can even see it’s so faint) then I’ll take one of what I thinks the evap line for you as it was after about 10 mins which is blue but Won’t count as after 3 mins.

Anyway then did a first response this morning and I can’t see anything now :( so to be so late and nothing even if I had late ovulation I think I would have something showing by now?

Late ovulation could be possible due to chemical pregnancy last month and I had the tiniest bit of pale pink spotting 4 days late this month like just two dots.

I’ve also been taking pregnacare conception vitamins this month though! So I’m so worried I’ve just completely messed my cycle up with them!

Sorry to ramble! But I have no idea what’s going on anymore that’s how my heads feeling haha xxx hoping you girls are having a better month! Fingers crossed for you all 💗💗

girafferafferaffe · 12/12/2021 10:39

@Tjsmjs yep and Christmas is the best time for all the foods you wouldn't be able to have!

FW starts tomorrow. We've been dtd every day though so hopefully we've got a good chance!

Tjsmjs · 12/12/2021 08:38

I would be testing this week but I think my period is going to beat me to it. I’ve woke this morning feeling bloated and lower cramps. I get these two days before I’m due on. That would make this cycle 23 days long which is on the shorter side for me but not unknown. Least I can enjoy all the alcohol, cured meats and soft cheese this month.

Goodgoodthings · 12/12/2021 07:36

Anyone else testing this week? I'm trying to hold off until Tuesday when period is due and it's doing my head in.

Keep having very vivid dreams about being pregnant and getting a positive test because I think about it all day every day 🥲 if af does come at least it will be a break from this madness!

Goodgoodthings · 12/12/2021 07:33

@whatsthecraic91 huge congrats! That is such lovely news, I hope you're feeling good despite going back to work soon. Hope you can make the most of these next few weeks. Have you shared your news with work already?

Tjsmjs · 11/12/2021 22:39

@whatsthecraic91 congratulations. That is lovely news.

@girafferafferaffe that is a lovely way to think of it. A great way to brighten January.

whatsthecraic91 · 11/12/2021 18:50

@GreenFlipFlop thank you! Feeling good at the minute. But DS being very testing this week, he won't leave me alone 😅 back to work in 3 weeks and dreading it ☹️ x

@RockingGazelle & @Mim21 thank you both x

Mim21 · 11/12/2021 18:04

Lovely news @whatsthecraic91 🥰

Good luck for the next cycle @RockingGazelle

RockingGazelle · 10/12/2021 21:44

Hi all. My AF was 3 days late and I started to get quite hopeful which was ridiculous because I knew I had missed FW this month.
Am coming to the end of AF now, ready to start again.....

Lovely news @whatsthecraic91. Congratulations!!

Good luck to all trying over Xmas xx

girafferafferaffe · 10/12/2021 21:10

[quote Tjsmjs]@Chanel05 that does sound like stress had a role. Hopefully this will be your cycle

I’m somewhere between 4 days and 6 days post ovulation depending on whether I go with my bbt or OPKs. I’m dying test- this cycles feels more pressured. I think it is the first for a couple of months where OH has been home for my whole fertile window and I haven’t had night shifts messing with my body. I think I will find a negative this month harder than usual because of this and with it Christmas. Need to manage my expectations a bit I think.[/quote]
That must be really hard. I hope that you get your positive. For me, I'm trying to concentrate on how lovely Christmas will be this year and januarys always a bit shit so it'd brighten that up if I got a positive then :) if I get a positive this month I'll be over the moon though obviously!

GreenFlipFlop · 10/12/2021 20:52

@whatsthecraic91 How exciting!!! 😍Congratulations!! How are you feeling?

whatsthecraic91 · 10/12/2021 20:30

Hello ladies just dropping in! Hope you are all keeping well & as always baby dust to you!! We found out today we are having a girl!! I can't believe our luck! x

girafferafferaffe · 09/12/2021 20:25

Oh wow 9 days early is early! Could definitely be stress. I hope you're alright.

My fertile period apparently starts on the 13th so we shall see where we get this month

Chanel05 · 09/12/2021 20:13

How is everyone doing?

My AF came 9 days early on only cd22 which has never happened to me before. Now on CD3 and looking at fertile week of just before and at Christmas, which was when my dd was conceived 😂. September could be an expensive month if it happened this time.

Abandoned the last cycle due to a bereavement (maybe that's why I came on so early? Stress?) and so although that was cycle 3, we'd only dtd once, so I'm going to say that I'm actually on cycle 3 now.

Moonshine160 · 09/12/2021 20:06

Hi everyone. I’m currently in the TWW at 3DPO, period due on the 21st. Would be so amazing to have a Christmas BFP but I’m trying not to get my hopes up.

girafferafferaffe · 09/12/2021 18:09

Finished AF 2 days ago so we are fully starting again now

Goodgoodthings · 09/12/2021 18:00

Hi everyone, just catching up. How is everyone doing? @Katie2021 are you still in limbo? Sorry, this whole thing can be so rubbish. I remember trying for DD1 I happened to me so often and I was so down during that time. We gave up in the end for a break and fell that next month!

Good luck to everyone in a new cycle, hoping we all get a bit of Christmas magic in our lives.

I finally ovulated last week after quite a few days of strong lines on OPKs. DTD as much as possible so we'll see! At least this TWW is a little easier with work being so busy coming up to Christmas and loads going on in general. Going to wait until Tuesday to test if I can! Have given my stash of tests to DH to hide until then as I have no self control.

GreenFlipFlop · 07/12/2021 22:26

Sorry to hear @kitchen456 Hope you're doing ok ❤️ x

Katie2021 · 07/12/2021 20:53

@kitchen456

Hi *@Moonshine160*, I did a test because of my lack of period pains that I usually get on the lead up. I also had really sore boobs, worse than normal. I was extremely irritable and angry for no reason Confused

Unfortunately I’ve had cramps and bleeding since yesterday afternoon so it’s probably a really early loss / chemical. Feeling really sad but it wasn’t meant to be this month x

Aww I’m so sorry for your loss this was what happened to me last month! So so hearbeaking! And upsetting Xx But a chemical pregnancy shows you can get pregnant though! So it’s a good sign for future pregnancy’s even though that doesn’t make it any easier 💗 and i read it can make you extra fertile the next month so keep trying, although I do think I may have ovulated later this month because of it! So best to track your ovulation this cycle if you don’t already to make sure you get the dates right! xxx
Katie2021 · 07/12/2021 20:44

@ExPatHereForAChat yes and I still haven’t had any signs of AF, I had very small amount of pale pink spotting 3 days ago (literally 2 dots) but nothing else since then, still no AF and still getting BFN Confused so strange! I’m
Constantly googling to find something similar haha but I think all I can do is wait and see when AF turns up xx

@Moonshine160 yes I’m hoping so! I think that would make the timing of my spotting about right as it was around my period due and I would still be testing negative wouldn’t I? Well that’s the last hope for this month isn’t it haha I will just have to wait and see if AF turns up, and maybe I’ll test again at weekend if nothing after it’s been 7 days since spotting xx

Honestly all the bfn after a missed period makes your feel crazy doesn’t it! All I can do is put it down to a late ovulation, but I would love to know what’s going on inside us right now haha xx

Moonshine160 · 07/12/2021 19:35

So sorry to hear that @kitchen456

Hi @Katie2021 sounds like late ovulation doesn’t it. So frustrating though when it’s just spotting for ages then nothing!
