TTC December thread

Another maybe/maybe not line on a home bargains cheap test today. Think I'm 10dpo but looking at my app I could even be 9dpo as I had a 2 day peak. I have so many symptoms but the biggest being certain smells are making me feel sick, and my throat feels really acidic which always happens in early pregnancy for me. These could also just be in my head though.

Fingers crossed for all of you still hanging on!

@Tinkerbell098 I get you, especially when you're late and still showing BFN as you're then fixating on what is actually going on! I've just had a really bizarre cycle myself. Strange what our bodies do to us when we're ttc!

@kizzy97 this limbo period is always frustrating and I'm so unproductive at work because of it. I'm a bit annoyed my cycles have messed up and can't even know when AF is actually due. I'm CD32 today (usually I'm 30 days, but last month was a weird cycle).

Ahh I'm sorry @Tinkerbell098 here's to next month and hopefully new year babies! How are you feeling?

Another BFN on a sainsburys test this morning. AF is due today/ tomorrow. So disheartening!

And yes, wish all of you baby dust for this Xmas! Wish the same gift for myself my boobs are so tender, but have lower abdomen cramps. Scared to test too!

Hello ladies, my AF is around today or tomorrow. Do you know if supplement “Homocysteine Resist” affects the cycle, lengthens/shortens it? Coz there are large amounts of folate and B 12, I started using it as my homocysteine level was too high for recommended norms of conception.

I've had tightness / cramping all day - feel so sure it's something, but scared to test and be disappointed!

@Theresamagicalplace I stopped hoarding frers as I was sick of seeing BFNs for the past 12 months so I’ve only got cheapies at the minute. I really don’t want to get my hopes up as I know how deflated I feel when AF shows. I’ll try a FRER if AF doesn’t show in the next couple of days.

@Tinkerbell098 have you got a frer or anything? I've been getting strong positives and digital positives now but the cheapies are still looking almost negative until they dry so it may very well be your bfp! Fingers crossed for you!

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?

My AF due tomorrow and two days of the low temps now so assume I’m out. Kind of just want it to arrive now so can enjoy Xmas and not think about TTC to new year! I have 5 week cycles so it seems very far away til my next chance

Wow! More BFP congrats!

I think I’ve experienced implantation cramps and bleeding. I’m having achy cramps and lower backache and I swipe pink/light red with CM. Don’t want to get my hopes up though. I’m only 6DPO. My boobs ACHE.

Now on day 36 since last period. 6 days late for me and nothing at all 🤷‍♀️

I had what was likely an evap line today, 9dpo. I thought I could see something when I tested but realistically I probably couldn't, when it dried I could see it better but still nothing obvious. I've never had a possible evap line that didn't turn in to a bfp before though so it's hard not to get my hopes up with it. Eurgh 2 weeks is so long to wait 😂 I have frers coming weds which will be 11dpo so I imagine I'll know by then 🤞

Hi ladies!

Just dropping in before another set of nights 🥱 5 dpo today constant tummy and back cramps since ovulation day and what feels like a pulled muscle in my stomach.

I’m really tired and I feel sick but it’s too early for any symptoms so potentially still ovulation related 🤷‍♀️

Hope you’re all ok x

@Tinkerbell098 my whole build up to af as well as the af itself has been bizarre this month, strange what your body does when you're ttc

@mightbeyesmightbeno sorry it was fainter yesterday. Any luck today? They say it takes 2-3 days for the hormones to double, so I wouldn't worry too much.

@kizzy97 this sounds like what I had last month! AF arrived 3 days early, first day was very light, second day very heavy and almost non-existent on day 3. I put it down to the supplements I started last month. Still waiting to see what this month is like.

@melbxldn I would but it was heavy as it usually was and there was clots (sorry tmi) so I'm not sure

@Billymay yep here's the link:

BFN this morning too

@kizzy97 you should test!

Af stopped for me today...which is really odd never had a 2 day period before

BFN at 10dpo and a temp drop, feeling a bit disappointed as thought I had symptoms but also different ones to my pregnancy. AF due on weds so should know finally by then but the temp drop isn’t a good sign even if still quite early

@Tinkerbell098 is there a Jan thread? I’ll be needing to join that. X
