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

Congratulations!

@TheBirdintheCave thank you! I did a cheapie yesterday and thought I saw something stared at it for ages and did another but then I couldn’t see anything. Had the wine with dinner and in the evening so feeling guilty for that.

This is yesterdays cheapie and this mornings…

Wary of a chemical so will test over the next few days given how faint that line is x

checking in on everyone today. Went on instagram to see EVERYONE'S babies in elf costumes or whatever. Feeling a bit blue about it all.

Will test tomorrow which will be 10dpo which is normally when I get my period. No symptoms of anything right now! With my first I had boobs that felt like they were shooting lazer beams out of them. So...we'll see.

TheBirdintheCave · 26/12/2021 10:41

@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.

@LittleMrsMama

Merry Christmas, another BFN here and having a glass of wine to make myself feel a bit better. AF due today and no sign of it though and really 'feel' pregnant as I did with my DD but feel like surely a test would confirm pregnancy by now so must be in my head. Not exactly sure when I ovulated but estimate I'd probably be around DPO14.

I hope the other ladies with BFNs are feeling ok and big congrats to those with BFPs!

@TheBirdintheCave I hope everything is ok, I know a few people with spotting during pregnancy and they had very happy and healthy babies so hopefully it's the same for you xx

Im a day behind you and feel the same! No af. Nausea, /sore boobs and tiredness to the extreme but BFN yesterday!

Fingers crossed it's just too early and not in our heads!

oldermam · 25/12/2021 17:37

Hope you've all had a good day ladies.

I was convinced AF was coming. I cracked on with the wine. Still no AF. I'm at OH's house up the road now. And my first response and other tests are at home 🙈 we've had a lovely day, his dad was actually quite coherent when he got there. OH took him a glass of whisky, it made his dads year I think ❤️

madeleine85 · 25/12/2021 17:01

@Shortmamashortcycles sorry AF came, but enjoy that Xmas booze and hope for a lucky new year for you!! X

Shortmamashortcycles · 25/12/2021 15:19

Fingers crossed for you @TheBirdintheCave.

Sadly I woke up to brown spotting which is slowly getting heavier and with all the usual AF cramps and backaches, so 10DPO and out.

Oh well - onwards into 2022!

madeleine85 · 25/12/2021 15:04

@TheBirdintheCave I hope everything works out, spotting can be ok so fingers crossed 🤞 x

To all the people with AF at the moment, I hope youre having some lovely wine and your cycle starts back ASAP so you can get an early 2022 BFP to kick off the new year right ❤️❤️

To the girls still in no mans land fingers crossed for you, sending all the positive hopes your way, also hoping you can sneak a wee tipple today bc it really doesn’t matter yet 🎅🏻

@WTFUterus Thanks :) I’m ok, we’ll still have a nice Christmas. Sorry about AF arriving for you :( x

WTFUterus · 25/12/2021 12:21

@TheBirdintheCave

Woke up to brown spotting so I think I’m having a chemical :( I can still see the faint pink line on yesterday’s test (though I can’t photograph it no matter how hard I try) and it came up within a minute so I don’t think it’s an indent or a false positive (the other one from this pack showed its negative very clearly) :/ I’m so disappointed but I suppose I can have a cider later on now :)
I've only just read this. I'm sorry you're spotting I know it can be really worrying. It doesn't always mean it's bad news, I had 3 days of spotting with my daughter, she's currently snoring away on my chest x
WTFUterus · 25/12/2021 12:19

Merry Christmas All xx

I was gifted with AF just before bed last night. Heartbreaking but at least I can have some Baileys and wine today.

@oldermam I am so sorry that your family is going through this

I haven't tested yet, too busy atm, OH is leaving for the hospital soon so I'll do it once he's gone. Hoping with all my heart I can give him this today it would mean the world. I have had af cramps all night though. So I'm not hopefully xx

pennysays · 25/12/2021 07:54

Hi All,

A BF - Xmas - N for me this morning. But predictable, I'm only 8dpo. No symptoms whatsoever. So I will test again in two days.

Merry Christmas. For those of you without the result you want right now, remember that 90% of you will be pregnant or have a baby by the end of 2022!

xxxx

i123i · 25/12/2021 07:10

Merry Christmas all!

Sorry to hear about what’s going on with your family @oldermam , sending ❤️

Another BFN for me this morning, I feel your frustration @ali2021!

Have a great day all!

madeleine85 · 25/12/2021 06:25

@Chasingrainbows1518 I know how hard it is to not test daily as i am incapable, but I think hcg doubles every 48 hours normally. Some people always have lower levels though and totally healthy pregnancies. I’m hoping when you test tomorrow you’ll get a clear swing upwards from the first one. When I had dd, I first tested in week 5/6 and it was so strong, it’s hard looking at faint lines this time around and really thinking they are going somewhere. Urghhh. Anyway, I hope you are having a slightly sober but amazing Xmas day, so much to be happy for ❤️. Keep me updated how it goes!

Chasingrainbows1518 · 25/12/2021 05:50

@madeleine85 thank you, according to my app I’m 14 dpo now. I was hoping to get a much darker line today with FMU…will try not to worry and see how things go. It’s easier said than done though isn’t it!!

Ahh I can imagine that is stressful not having access to more tests lol keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Merry Christmas everyone, have a lovely day and keep us all posted how you are getting on x

madeleine85 · 25/12/2021 05:40

@Chasingrainbows1518 it looks progressing to me 🤞. I can definitely see the 2nd clearer. How many dpo are you?

I’m away and didn’t pack many tests as I didn’t want to jinx myself. I’ve now ran out of frer and easy at home. I have one clear blue which just says pregnant/not, and one box of cheap supermarket brand + sign ones. Stressing as I can’t check progression with using all the different varieties 🤦‍♀️. Clearly did not plan well lol. Hope you’re all doing better on that front!

Chasingrainbows1518 · 25/12/2021 05:34

@oldermam sending love to you and your family. Such a difficult time.

Good luck to everyone testing today. I did another test this morning, I think it’s got a little darker but still seems very light to me which has me feeling nervous about another chemical preg 😩 so I’ll probably keep testing daily to see if the lines darken and try to make me feel a bit more at ease.

Merry Christmas everyone!

@oldermam I'm so sorry to hear about your family. My thoughts are with you ❤️

Good luck to anyone testing today and over the next couple of days xx
