TTC DECEMBER 2021 🎅🏼

@Cmacq32 I'm waiting to test until Thursday. I tested so much last cycle and I can't put myself through it again. Hopefully if implantation has happened today then it should show up by then xxx

@Cmacq32 that's definitely a positive to me! I used a clear blue with DD about 11DPO and it looked exactly like that...she's now a very busy 2yo! Congratulations!

@Cmacq32
!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!
Send some luck my way please!
What test did you use?
I had heartburn as well last night :(

I've had really bad heartburn for 2 days now and so I said I'd test Thursday as I'm 10/11dpo.
Am I seeing things guys or is this a positive??? 👀👀👀

@Natalie2304 hey! I had IB on 8dpo and I got a BFP on CD 29 (13dpo) previously. Fingers crossed for you!

I do have a photo but no idea how to upload on here! They definitely look like lines and definitely blue not grey. I’ve ordered frer they’re coming tomorrow so I’ll update tomorrow evening! xx

@Fdan3 have you used a FRER? If you have a faint on something different then maybe a FRER will be a bit clearer for you? 🤞🏻lovely xx

Congratulations to all you lovely ladies who have got your BFP's it's so lovely to read! You are all so supportive of one another ❤️

I've been keeping updated with all the posts but keeping quiet as I don't want to get too stressed about it this month.

I am however 8DPO today and noticed a red spot of blood in my CM a few hours ago, only when wiping and now nothing at all. I've also had sharp pains in my left side.
Has anyone had IB before a BFP?
I never had it with DD but heard it is a thing and bearing in mind my LP is usually 11 days, 8DPO is probably about right for implantation.

Hi! Do you have photos? I was worried about evap lines but I think as long as they have colour and you’ve seen them in the time frame you’re good!
Keeping everything crossed for you x

Nobody replied to my previous comment but after the constant period like cramps for 4 days since ovulation and dtd a lot, lower back ache, burping a lot and feeling so so sick all weekend I done cheap tests 10dpo said negative. Done a clear blue 6 days early today 11dpo and after 10-15 minutes there was a second line (put it down to evap as test had been sat a while) done another clear blue and there’s a definite second line again took around 10 minutes to show.

What’s the chances of 2 evaps?! Seems too much of a coincidence. Looked at packaging of the cheap tests I done and they said to be used after a missed period so explains them being negative. Do I get excited?! I’m not due on untill 20th.

I’ve ordered first response getting delivered tomorrow so I’ll do one of those tomorrow afternoon. Currently sat with the worst nausea ever yet again. Xxxx

@Purple29
My cycles vary, AF can come at 28, 29, 30, 32, even 35.
But my gyno said that's normal and no need to worry.
Need to stay positive...

Congrats @ExPatHereForAChat so happy for you!

I tried to update earlier but the post didn't upload.

I've been feeling quite flu-ey for a few days. I actually thought I might have Corona but my lateral flow was negative yesterday and today.

Yesterday's FRER was a BFN but I tested today at 9dpo and got my BFP on a FRER. I know it's early days but I'm feeling really grateful.
This is month 5 TTC and we used Pre Seed and followed the SMEP plan.
Wishing all you lovely ladies your BFP this cycle

@alexalexalex18 day 10 or 11 is still quite early. I was lucky I was regular so I always said to myself if I got to day 29 with nothing I would test. Took 2 years of 28 days being bang on. Then that one time I got to 29 it was positive. It is so hard to stay positive, and people keep telling you to relax and it will happen. Doesnt work like that and it becomes all consuming!!! Lots of emotions and def good to have a place to talk about that.

@Cmacq32 @Purple29
Day 10 or 11 dpo, used a cheap stick from Boots earlier and it was painfully negative.
My pee was so clear though it was almost transparent 😂
Trying to keep positive, thanks for the help, ladies.
Can’t tell you how much it means to me to have someone to talk about like this.

@Decaffe don't give up hope, our bodies are weird and never consistent 😘

@Tor88 I think the beauty of the cycle is that it's unique to you. The average ovulation is 14 but this varies hugely. I personally do trust the sticks as I've fallen pregnant 3 times using them. When I haven't I've had no luck at all. If anything it equips you with that peak.

@alexalexalex18 this all sounds promising?! I wouldn't worry about your temp at the minute. You haven't been TTC long enough to have enough data on your temperature to know 'whats normal to you', I think it's a good starting point as you go through TTC but don't be too hung up on it at this point. (I know that's easy to say).

@alexalexalex18 I would try and not compare symptoms with what others get. My best friend literally had no symptoms for her whole pregnancy. She felt great the whole time, my other friend was sick for 8 months with her second but was fine with her first. Its so random!! Everything crossed for you to get a bfp soon 🤞🤞🤞

@sjmc16 how wonderful! Congratulations!!

Congrats @Sjmc16:) :)

Update! I may have gone test happy for the rest of the morning, see attached. I don’t even know what to do with myself....I’m at work and home alone and think I just want my mum, I’m not even sure how or when to tell hubby!

@Cmacq32
I feel some ache in my pelvic area, like before period.
App says it’s due on Friday.
Also my temp dropped to 36,63.
I’m so scared :(
I’m also insanely emotional.
No sore boobs, no cramps. Just lots of sneezing and clogged nose and peeing all the time.

Hi all, what cycle day do you start your LH tests?? I started testing on day 8 (first month doing it) and just got a smiley on day 9 despite natural cycles telling me not to start measuring til day 12... How accurate do we think th lh tests are?? Using clearblue

Oh dear, I'm just going to try again haha:

Absolutely no symptoms AT ALL, I don't feel anything is different. Strangely for the last two cycles I've had what you would absolutely think were IMPLANTATION pains; sharp enough to make me catch my breath! But not even that this month. So I just have a feeling I'm out this month.

Have to say, DH is looking forward to next cycle's fertile week as it's essentially the week between Christmas and New Year, hopefully we won't be tired and will be nice and relaxed!

together?! I meant - at all!
