@kizzy97 @Peonies94 @Tinkerbell098 @jhodd @EvelynSalt starting this from those of us that are out this month and ready to go for December!

This part is nearly as bad as the TTW - waiting for AF to be over and to be able to crack on!

By my calculations we'll all know before Christmas if the next cycle has been a success for us - so hopefully either way happiness or sadness there will be lots of opportunities for lovely family time x

Hi all - back again - it's sometimes hard seeing so many BFPs when you're struggling (though I am happy for those who get them).
But it's also so useful seeing others going through the same things ☺️

2nd month TTC, I have a very regular 28-30 day cycle, last cycle was 29 days, did an ovulation test on the 14th and had a very dark line which began to fade over the next couple of days, we dtd on days 7,9,11,13,14,15 and 17 and also used Preseed. 3 days after positive test I had CM with a spot of blood in it which is very unusual for me I’ve never experienced this. I know it’s too early for implantation but has anyone else experienced a small bleed when ovulating and has this led to a positive is it a good sign? I’m currently 5dpo no other noticeable symptoms yet.

@Beck3115 congratulations! You could have had much more than a glass of wine please don’t worry yourself 🙂

I’m back on the TTW. One day post ovulation. Even managed to DTD on Christmas Day. I’m sure my mum thinks I’m pregnant already after I nursed a glass of wine all day.

Didn’t manage to track my ovulation very well though with juggling all the other Christmas stuff so hope my timings right 🤞🤞

[quote Beck3115]@DeviousImp17 have you tried any other tests as the digitals aren’t as sensitive?[/quote]
I don't have any others available and I'm not keen to continue wasting tests. I'll wait until Thursday, when I would have missed my period. I'm dismayed, I've never had these symptoms before AF. Usually I don't PMS or spot/cramp and I've had fibroids for 20 years.

DeviousImp17 · 26/12/2021 12:44

@Beck3115

Sooo… this happened this morning. Look how faint that cheapie is for reference as well 😯

I feel bad because I definitely thought it wasn’t happening when I got a bfn yesterday so I drank wine!

Forgive me. I totally missed this.

Congratulations!!

@DeviousImp17 have you tried any other tests as the digitals aren’t as sensitive?

DeviousImp17 · 26/12/2021 10:28

@DeviousImp17

Am I the only one holding out? 😂 AF due 29 December, I’ll test on Sunday, Boxing Day. The spotting is intermittent, very mild cramps. If I wasn’t tracking I’d think it was AF. Some CM headaches, fatigue, a little nausea that goes away when I eat. Also some constipation. Bloating in the lower half.

So many symptoms but I’m holding out before testing.

BFN this morning on a CB digital. 12 DPO. I still have all the symptoms but the cramping and spotting stopped yesterday. 🤷🏾‍♀️ will wait for AF on Wednesday and contact my GP about my fibroids.

The top one is yesterday x

@Tinkerbell098 seen your latest post with a BFN. Good luck for jan! 🤞

FridaRose · 24/12/2021 11:49

@Tinkerbell098

Is this what you call an evap line? I’ve never seen one before. Basically I did a test this morning, left it for 5 mins and BFN. I later checked it (hours and hours later) as it was lying around and saw this second line so assume it’s an evap line? How can you tell?
Yes it's an EVAP

How do we know? If you're showing negative 1-4 mins after testing, then 1+ hours later you see a line.
As per instructions you must disregard the test after 10 mins.

Ballygowenwater · 24/12/2021 10:43

9 days overdue my period arrived today. Onwards to January

Billymay · 22/12/2021 19:10

I’m out. Good luck to all in the tww. Xx

HRHXO · 22/12/2021 13:53

@chailatte28 hi! I'm ttc #1 as well but I've seen off the pill since April now. Used clearblue OPKs for 3 months and never had a static for some reason. Cheap opks seem to indicate ovulation though so who knows what's going on! Good luck!

chailatte28 · 22/12/2021 13:24

@saltedcaramelanything

Well I'm out. Heading over to the January thread. Best of luck to everyone still in!
Hope you don't mind me asking but how do I find the January thread? Can't work it out in the app at all!
chailatte28 · 22/12/2021 13:21

Hope you don't mind me joining! We are TTC baby #1 cycle #1 so very new to this world!

I'm on my 5th day of the flashing smiley on my Clearblue ovulation test which I wasn't expecting I just want to see the static smiley! Interested to know how long you have all seen the flashing smiley for previously?

Also, I'm really struggling with not becoming obsessive with it!? How do you ladies not get really anxious? I feel so desperate for it to happen that it's making me stressed/anxious which I know won't help at all.

Shabz22 · 22/12/2021 13:04

Pretty certain I'm out. Bfn on frer at 11dpo and blood in my CM today. AF is due tomorrow so this is pretty standard for me in the lead up to it. On to January!

saltedcaramelanything · 22/12/2021 07:39

melbxldn · 21/12/2021 23:59

I’m out - good luck to those still in and happy Xmas all!

Billymay · 21/12/2021 20:29

One day late and I know af is lerking around the corner.. just wish it would hurry up so I can get out of this uncertainty as I’m not wasting anymore money on tests just for it to be a negative xxx

Chunkymonkey13 · 21/12/2021 16:47

Am I going crazy???

Tinkerbell098 · 21/12/2021 15:55
