@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

Definitely going to struggle to wait a few days haha. I've got a digital saved for Saturday as thats period due date but it'll only be 12dpo so we'll see. I've got a weird popping sensation in my lower abdomen this morning, almost like a phone is vibrating against it Hmm very strange!

melbxldn · 16/12/2021 08:49

Huge congrats @Jhodd!

@Theresamagicalplace I think maybe I see something too - test again in a day or two if you can bear to wait!

@Billymay

10dpo and a BFN looks like I’m getting af for Xmas. Xx
I didn't get a faint line on an FRER until 11dpo I could 9f even been 12dpo .it was stark white negative the night before. unfortunately that pregnancy ended in a MC.

@melbxldn 10dpo. I need to speak to my go for meds if I am and 14dpo is over Xmas!

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 08:23

My boob pain stopped yesterday (normally they continue right up until af appears) this is driving me mad! Due on tomorrow though so if AF stays away I'll test again tomorrow

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 08:18

@Jhodd congratulations!! We're cycle buddies as I'm 13dpo today as well! Hopefully this is a good sign for me and your luck rubs off!

@Theresamagicalplace - I think I see a shadow too but I can't tell if it's a bfp or evap (I'm rubbish at distinguishing between the two when it's a shadow 🙈) but hopefully you see some progression in the days ahead!

Theresamagicalplace · 16/12/2021 08:13

Congratulations @Jhodd!

I keep testing even though I know I shouldn't and I think I've seen a hint of a line 👀 (definitely more obvious than the last shadow I thought I saw anyway 😂)

@Beck3115 based on my temps I ovulate 2-3 days after my first positive OPK so tonight is great and you could even try tomorrow given your earlier days are a bit far away

@oldermam when will you test? Im 6dpo but might test at 10 because the days are so slow. I actually don’t feel pregnant at all whereas with my son I did so I’ll have a few drinks but trying to stay moderate!

oldermam · 16/12/2021 07:12

@Beck3115 today should be fine. My peak on opks stayed for 24 hours :)

I'm 4dpo. The week is going so slow. Distracting myself with Christmas prep. I did manage to find FR preg tests yesterday which is rare by me. Ready for next week 🙈

I have weird on off cramps pains in my belly. On and off metallic taste in my mouth. I've decided to not drink any alcohol just in case!

Beck3115 · 16/12/2021 05:23

Hey girls!

Just after a bit of advice, I’m cd 15 and had a positive OPK yesterday morning.

Is tonight to late to catch if we dtd? OH wasn’t here last night so I think we have missed our chance. 😞

Before that we dtd on cd 10, 9, 7 and 6 so I feel like they were too far before as well.

Opinions welcome as I’m new to all this and we both work shifts so it is a juggle to see each other never mind get into bed together 😂

Ballygowenwater · 15/12/2021 21:06

@melbxldn about 30 days typically, on occasion I’ll get a shorter or longer one but 30 mostly

melbxldn · 15/12/2021 21:01

Ohh fingers crossed @kizzy97

Good luck testing @Jhodd

How long are your cycles normally @Ballygowenwater

Jhodd · 15/12/2021 20:53

I’m 12dpo today. Think I’m going to test in the morning I can’t wait any longer. AF due Friday. I’m nervous all of a sudden. No symptoms at all. X

Ballygowenwater · 15/12/2021 20:48

BFN but no AF today on day 30 of my cycle. I’m now wondering if maybe I ovulated late and not early as I thought. Pity we had a lot more action earlier in the cycle than later

kizzy97 · 15/12/2021 20:32

@melbxldn - haven't had any more since I posted that so shall see how I get on, it's usually a consistent spotting but that's not been the case today at least...fingers crossed 🤞

melbxldn · 15/12/2021 20:16

@kizzy97 ugh sorry to hear that, especially when you’d had such a “productive” month. Annoying how low the stats are even when you do all the right things. Still an option for you though until you get AF proper. Otherwise onto next cycle!

@DeviousImp17 I tried conceive plus tablets this cycle too!

Gah only 6dpo and time is standing still! I think I’ll test Tuesday though so not too far and a busy weekend ahead

@DeviousImp17 nice to have some fresh ovulation in the group 😂😂

@Cecelia90 yes I think that's the same as me- predicts as 14 days after but that would make me a 25 day cycle this month 🤔 which I'm def not!

Feeling so poorly still so all symptoms are blurred into illness so think I'll just wait until Monday.

DeviousImp17 · 15/12/2021 17:11

I’m a bit of a late joiner. Today or tomorrow I’m due to ovulate, and AF is due 30 December. TTC #2, 6th. cycle trying but first cycle using conceive plus pills. We conceived #1 in the first month trying but that was almost 5 years ago! Just a place mark for me!

Cecelia90 · 15/12/2021 17:08

Yeah I’ve only just noticed that the Premom app calendar puts my expected period as Saturday because they would be 14dpo from my opks but if my period was due Saturday that would only be a 27 day cycle and I’m definitely a 29 day cycle. Just longer to wait
