@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

I've got 2 cheapies in the house, can't decide if to buy a FRER or not. AF due Thursday but that's based on possibly early ovulation. If based on previous cycles then AF won't be here until Monday. So I don't think a cheapie would pick anything up for me these time frames 🤔

BFN for me this morning 11dpo l. I asked my husband to pick up some pregnancy tests on the food shop and he got clearblue early detection and not first response. Feel like I’d trust a first response more but I’ll try the other clear blue 14dpo if AF doesn’t show up

kizzy97 · 15/12/2021 12:15

So, I may be out, just had the slightest bit of spotting (wouldn't really notice if you weren't looking for it) but that tends to mean af is coming for me

Theresamagicalplace · 15/12/2021 09:40

@melbxldn now I've had a barrel of coffee and looked again you're right it was just my eyes haha. Ah well, still early days!

melbxldn · 15/12/2021 09:03

@Theresamagicalplace I can’t but I’m rubbish at lines and the pic quality here is quite low: if you can def check again tomorrow

Surely someone else due a BFP soon!

Theresamagicalplace · 15/12/2021 08:52

Ok so testing yesterday unleashed the test taking addiction in me 🙈. Can someone tell me if I'm going crazy seeing a shadow on this? Only had about 3 hours sleep last night (thanks teething!) so not sure if I'm imagining it haha.

Tested this morning and bfn. My bbt is up but I’ve got a fever from that bloody Moderna. Keeping everything crossed that there’s good news in this group soon. Xx

Ballygowenwater · 15/12/2021 08:39

Due on today and BFN not even a hint of a shadow so I think I’m out.

kizzy97 · 15/12/2021 08:15

Probably going to speak too soon here, but no sign of impending af yet! Due on Friday and haven't started spotting yet 🤞

@melbxldn I'm going to try and hold off testing until Saturday now if af stays away, I also get paid on Friday so might go and grab some FRER as the test I took yesterday was an Asdas own and I read some bad reviews on them last night

melbxldn · 15/12/2021 06:56

I’m not sure @kizzy97 if it’s unusual for you then maybe? Last cycle I was convinced I had symptoms but nothing yet here at 5-6dpo yet

Anyone testing this morning?

kizzy97 · 14/12/2021 22:03

Slight pelvic pain, had it a little earlier in the tww and now have had it again a little bit today...wondering if that could be a sign or not?

Billymay · 14/12/2021 21:42

I think I’m out anyway, I just don’t have that feeling I did before. 9dpo tomorrow so I suppose I’m not out yet. I’m hoping someone on this thread has good news soon. Xxx

Tjsmjs · 14/12/2021 21:38

@Billymay I’ve got my Booster tomorrow and I’m in the TWW. Pretty convinced period is coming as had a temp drop but anyway I’m going for it regardless. One of my colleagues at work had the jab and found out she was pregnant a week later so I don’t think it will ruin your chances.

Billymay · 14/12/2021 19:46

@saltedcaramelanything I’m glad I’m not the only one. The door was open so a room full of people probably heard as well. Must of looked crazy…

Billymay · 14/12/2021 19:44

Oh that’s good to know. I started thinking it’s too late now.. it’s not as if I can take the vaccine out. I just got caught up in the panic around my area but my local hospital are urging pregnant women to have theirs, they are even holding a clinic. I’m going to test tomorrow, I’ll be 9 dpo and I got a positive my last pregnancy then if not I’m waiting till the weekend and if not I will not waste anymore money and think about trying again in a few months. Xx

saltedcaramelanything · 14/12/2021 19:43

the lady asked if I was pregnant and I was like I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ she looked at me puzzled…

😂 I did the exact same thing @Billymay ! She looked at me like I was absolutely looney

Theresamagicalplace · 14/12/2021 19:41

@Billymay I saw on another December thread that someone got their booster and then found out they were pregnant a few days later so you've not done any damage to your chances!

melbxldn · 14/12/2021 19:34

I’ve actually decided to try and wait til Tuesday - so far away! I would test this weekend because Xmas drinks but realistically even if I’m negative I’d still moderate as might be too early and I think so unlikely to be positive somewhere between 8-10dpo. I’ve convinced myself I’m pregnant every time apart from when I actually was so I’m now telling myself I’m not as if that makes any difference ha. I’m still breastfeeding and have long cycles and weird discharge so I think I might not get pregnant until I wean

Billymay · 14/12/2021 19:33

I’m exactly the same. I ended up buying some tests and did one… I knew it would be negative but before I could be rational about it I was peeing on it. I’m now worried as I saw a clinic near me had walk in boosters so I ended up having one done… the lady asked if I was pregnant and I was like I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ she looked at me puzzled… She had to put it down as a no and I’m now thinking have I ruined my chances… why have I got to be so spur of the moment 🙈

Theresamagicalplace · 14/12/2021 19:30

Glad it's not just me @saltedcaramelanything haha. I think it's because everyone who said they're out ended up getting a bfp 😂 trying to reverse psychology my uterus haha.

saltedcaramelanything · 14/12/2021 19:11

Oh I know what you mean @Theresamagicalplace ! I somehow have convinced myself in equal measure that I'm definitely getting a BFP this month and that I'm out already...

Theresamagicalplace · 14/12/2021 18:34

I did another test this afternoon 😭 whyyyyy?!? I keep thinking I see something on it and then looking again and it's blank. Why do I do it to myself haha. I'm only 8 dpo but convinced I'm out already Blush

BabyBird20 · 14/12/2021 18:09

Hi @saltedcaramelanything and @melbxldn , I'm aiming to test Saturday or Sunday too! Only 6 or 7 days po today but due on sometime after the 20th (my cycle varies by 5 days which kills me!) The waiting game is the absolute worst isn't it!

Jhodd · 14/12/2021 17:46

@kizzy97 I caved and tested today too.. and bfn.
No symptoms whatsoever though, apart from emotional which I normally am before af!
We’re not our untill af arrives.. fingers crossed for Friday.. 😳

kizzy97 · 14/12/2021 12:35

@melbxldn thank you! Part of me just has a feeling that's it's too early but the other part thinks I'm out, have a lot of creamy cm today (sorry tmi) just hoping I don't start having any spotting as I normally start spotting a few days before af is due
