Anyone due to get BFP/AF at Xmas?

The pressure is on... in the TWW and AF is due right around Xmas. Spending the holidays with my in laws, and both wanting to drink through the holidays/not drink as in the TWW. I’m also dreading a little bit of feeling down if I get AF right at Xmas. If anyone is looking for a TWW companion/obsessor here I am ☺️. Good luck, and hope you all get your Xmas present 🎁 BFP from Santa 🎅🏻. Xx

Missed @Chasingrainbows1518! Congrats to you too :) Those are great lines!

I keep saying "I won't test" and then caving and testing with a cheapie in the middle of the morning and then of course getting a BFN. on 11 dpo and no symptoms but my temp is still high which is unusual for me because normally it has dropped back down. ARGH!!!!!

@TheBirdintheCave sorry AF finally showed. Sending good luck for early 2022, hope you can enjoy some NYE tipples now and have fun with some DTD :)

Great lines @Beck3115 and @Becca92xo :D

@madeleine85 Glad you’ve still got a good line on your latest test and you’re feeling better now you’re at home :)

My period came this morning, very heavy and painful which it hasn’t been since my son was born so that’s not been fun sigh. Hopeful for next month though :)

@Chasingrainbows1518 that is a great line progression, fingers crossed for you!!

@i123i sorry she finally came, that is so rubbish. Hoping that 2022 is a clean slate and brings you lots of joy early on!

I had a complete freak out yesterday, I peed on cheapie tests, and the first one didn't work, the second did, and looked like chasing raimbow's final test. So glad to be home with my easy at home test stash. Took one last night/today and definitely see a progression from a few days ago, also feeling a bit queasy today/my boobs hurt. In my panic yesterday I tried to make a drs appt, so may have to call them today to see if they will support my neurosis and take early HCG level checks, or if they will say no and to come back in a month. Definitely feel so much better now i'm back home though. Hope everyone is doing well x

Thanks @frenchie4002 ❤️ Wishing you all the best, especially over the next 2 days!

frenchie4002 · 27/12/2021 16:05

sorry to hear that @i123i x I'm expecting the same in a day or 2 and just because you expect af to show it doesn't make it any less disappointing - I know the feeling. It's only a matter of time before bfps for us all though. 2022 is the year!

i123i · 27/12/2021 14:14

Also a BFN this morning and AF has just arrived. Not entirely surprising due to being fairly symptomless, but still disappointing.

Ah well, onwards and upwards. Good luck for all those awaiting results, and congrats again to those with BFPs.

Happy New Year when it comes all!

Beck3115 · 27/12/2021 11:17

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for us all having sticky beans!

I tested on Christmas Day and thought there was something on a cheapy but after staring for ages I decided there was nothing I would have been approximately 9dpo then or 4 days before af.

Tested again on Boxing Day on a cheapie, very very faint line and squeezed a bit more wee out and got 1-2 weeks on cb digital. That would be 3 Days before af and about 10dpo x

AmberRH1993 · 27/12/2021 11:14

@Becca92xo thank you! I will keep an eye out and if AF still doesn't show by Wednesday then I'll do an FRER. I did a cheapy this morning but the line is so faint that it's probably an evap and if I am getting implantation bleeding then a test won't show fully yet anyhow.

Chasingrainbows1518 · 27/12/2021 11:10

Line progression so far so good for me. Keeping everything crossed this one sticks!

[quote AmberRH1993]@Becca92xo Congratulations on your BFP 🎉 how far away from AF were you when you did your first test?
My AF was due yesterday and had some pink spotting but nothing since.. Don't want to waste a test if its too early 😊[/quote]

Thank you honey!
When I took my first test it was like 7 days before my period was due. And the ones I took today are like 3/4/5 days before AF was due.

[quote Beck3115]@Becca92xo those lines are so lovely and strong mine aren’t that dark. How many dpi are you?

Bottom one was this morning x[/quote]

Thanks lovely! I actually have no idea really how many dpo I am as it could of been out of 2 days, I didn't really track this month! But I know I was due on in like 4/5 days! Congratulations to you too mama ❤️

thank you ladies for the congratulations!

Wow @Becca92xo that is a lovely strong line! Congratulations to you x

Becca92xo · 27/12/2021 10:08

[quote TheBirdintheCave]@Becca92xo I’m never sure whether to trust blue dyes as they’re prone to evaps. Fingers crossed for you though! Let us know if you test again and it gets darker :)

I’m still spotting, sometimes pink sometimes brown though it seems a little heavier than yesterday. We’re going to pick up some more FRERs in a minute and then I’ll take one tonight or tomorrow morning if AF still hasn’t started. I don’t think it’s looking promising though.[/quote]
Update! I retested today after finding out on Christmas Eve!

Hugs to all who got a BFN.

Congratulations to all who got their Christmas BFP!

@Verysadperson101 was it a full period or perhaps implantation?

Verysadperson101 · 27/12/2021 09:00

Had a faint positive (8dpo) a few days ago but AF showed up on Christmas Day! 6 days early. So strange. So there’s me out. Never had two periods in one month, maybe I didn’t even ovulate.

Chasingrainbows1518 · 27/12/2021 07:26

@Hopesandrainbows ah sorry it’s a BFN! Good luck for this coming month! Sending lots of baby dust your way!

@EishetChayil I’ve also ran out of tests so can’t check if I’ve had any line progression until Amazon turn up. Hoping to do a CB digi tomorrow and again next week if I get that far x

EishetChayil · 27/12/2021 07:05

I'm four days late - got BFNs when I tested around 10dpo, but stupidly ran out of tests just in time for Xmas Blush

Waiting for Amazon to come with the goods.

Hopesandrainbows · 27/12/2021 07:00

It's a negative! Here's to month 5!

Becca92xo · 27/12/2021 02:16

@madeleine85

Congratulations *@Beck3115 and @Becca92xo* that’s sich great news ❤️❤️🎉.

Sending big hugs to those who got their AF/hopes for a very quick BFP in the new year. @oldermam I’m so sorry for what you/your family is going through, so very glad you got one last lucid day and made him so very happy ❤️. Hope you’re holding up ok x

Thank you darling x
AmberRH1993 · 26/12/2021 23:50

@CookMeANumber3 thank you... Have you had any symptoms so far? Are you trying for your first?

CookMeANumber3 · 26/12/2021 23:47

@AmberRH1993 due on yesterday so recline positives would be obvious by now. Some spotting could be implantation, fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
