@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

Congrats to the BFP! I’m over a week away from testing as I am 1DPO. I’ve got a long wait. I hope to test Christmas morning or Boxing Day morning which would be 4 days before AF is due.

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 22:14

@melbxldn - test is sat there waiting, will test in the morning if bleeding dosen't resume. It's absolutely bizare, it genuinely seemed like the start of af it was more than just spotting! Popped another pad on as I got ready for bed just in case

@Cecelia90 I'm so sorry! Fingers crossed for the next cycle xx

Cecelia90 · 16/12/2021 22:10

AF just arrived ☹️ 25 day cycle I’ve never had such a short cycle ever!

melbxldn · 16/12/2021 21:57

@kizzy97 test sat as planned if no AF tomorrow? How frustratingly confusing though!

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 21:20

@melbxldn It hasn't started back up yet! Weird, thrown me for a loop on what to do now

girafferafferaffe · 16/12/2021 20:09

Hi all :) we're ttc number 2 here and starting cycle 2 (I do think the first one coming off the pill is a dud anyway so really it's the first proper month but anyway).

In the FW now so just hoping for something sticky!

melbxldn · 16/12/2021 20:06

Welcome @Shabz22! I think I’ll test Monday too at 10dpo, I was negative with my son then but also not 100% on my O day

melbxldn · 16/12/2021 20:02

@Theresamagicalplace that’s definitely positive and progressed! Sending all the sticky thoughts but this is such a great start for you, congrats!

@kizzy97 how strange - has it started properly again yet? Totally understand the disappointment even at only the second cycle. I’m the same and will be devastated if I’m not pregnant which I don’t think I am - don’t feel any thing at all

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 18:02

@mightbeyesmightbeno - that's weird...the bleedings completely stopped? There's none in the pad I put on either. But it was definitely more than spotting...

Shabz22 · 16/12/2021 17:34

Late joiner here too, I'm 5dpo today. AF due on the 23rd but I'll likely start testing from Monday at 9dpo because I can't help myself 😂.

Got a bfp at 10dpo in May but unfortunately ended in a MC.

@kizzy97 cd25 today which is really early for me - have been 28 day cycles for as long as I can remember. Except last month which was 31 days! So 3 days late last month and 3 days early this month. After years of 28 days. Why body why?! When TTC does it decide to muck about?!

@mightbeyesmightbeno ahh no! ☹️ how many dpo are you now?

@oldermam - I know! Actually thought it was going to happen for me this month as well! Ah well onto the next one

Theresamagicalplace · 16/12/2021 16:58

I'm starting to believe it a little more now 🙈 everything crossed it sticks 🤞🤞

Congratulations @Jhodd what a wonderful Christmas gift

@Theresamagicalplace i can see something 🤞🤞🤞

Not sure when to test again myself maybe Saturday morning which would be 14dpo cd27. I should wait for after cd29 when my period is due. I really thought something would show 11dpo because I’ve been feeling nauseous but perhaps I’m just knackered

Beck3115 · 16/12/2021 16:12

Thank you so much for your help ladies and a huge congratulations on the bfps ❤️❤️

oldermam · 16/12/2021 15:55

Sorry @kizzy97 af is poop! Fingers crossed for next cycle for you!

I'm still symptom spotting. Lower back ache, nausea. Weird odd pains on and off in my stomach, sore boobs. I'm only 4/5dpo 🙈 I need to get a grip!

Definitely out, it's progressed to af now ☹️

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 14:06

@Jhodd - Thank you, technically I'm not out yet but just staying realistic. This is only my second cycle trying to conceive #2. I think I also convinced myself it was my month this month as my lead up to af has been highly different this month, like I normally have boob pain leading up towards and the end of af but any boob pain I had has disappeard atm xx

Jhodd · 16/12/2021 13:38

@Theresamagicalplace I think I see it too 👀🙊 xx

Jhodd · 16/12/2021 13:33

@kizzy97 I’m sorry 😢
Let those feelings out, and then redirect your feelings in to your next cycle. Have some fun of Christmas and you never know, it may be your month.
How many months have you been trying?

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 12:42

Well...spotting again and then I've just sat and sobbed. Part of me wants cling to hope and believe it's implantation bleeding but the other half is telling me to be realistic and that it's af. Feel even more horrible for being this upset as there are people who have been trying for longer than I have

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 09:31

Also strange metallic taste in my mouth on and off this morning...hopefully the rest of us will get our BFP's soon 🤞

Billymay · 16/12/2021 09:03

@Jhodd yay congratulations to you! Finally some good news!

@Theresamagicalplace I think I might see something??
