Anyone due to get BFP/AF at Xmas?

I was going to keep it a surprise but I was too excited and wanted to see if he could see the line too. He said he could but was sceptical cos it was so faint. We’re at my parents now for Christmas so I don’t have access to any more tests for a few days. I’ll just have to see if AF arrives or not :)

@Chasingrainbows1518 @kitty1993 Congratulations to you both! :)

@oldermam so sorry to hear that awful news. It is such a hard and difficult time of year for some. Hope you are all doing ok ❤❤

Well I caved and tested... stark white BFN once again. Another month down 😔 Honestly such a killer every month! Does anyone else do as I do and mentally calculate when your baby will be due, when you'll be able to tell ppl etc... why do I do it to myself, so crushing 🙈

Merry Christmas ladies!

I'm cramping like a gooden. I think AF is on its way. I shall be pouring a glass of wine soon.

OH's dad is really poorly and probably not going to last the weekend. He had a phone call today. He's allowed to go in to see him tomorrow but there is also Covid on the ward x

Congratulations to all the BFPs! What wonderfully sober Christmases you will all have 🥰
AF due tomorrow... the anticipation is unreal

@madeleine85 I thought I was 12/13dpo but honestly if I ovulated later than I thought I could be as early as 10dpo. I normally feel it but this cycle I had ovulation pains three days in a row the worst being the last day. I counted O from the middle day but it was just a guess really.

Theres also the fact that that test was taken at 7am but I had to get up to pee at 5am so it was only a two hour hold.

@ali2021 I was literally saying to DP last night that I didn't feel any different and didn't think I had any symptoms but now I look back at the last few days I realise yesterday I started needing a wee more and also got a bit light headed which I haven't had for years! I've got sore boobs but I always get that around this time of the month
Good luck testing 🤞🤞

Oh wow.... Can't believe how many BFP there are! Congrats to all 🥰 What a lovely surprise! @kitty1993, did you have any symptoms? I'm still planning on testing tomorrow morning at 10dpo, but am not feeling overly optimistic! Only symptoms per se are really sore boobs which have gotten progressively worse since about 5dpo.. I've symptom spotted like crazy before and sworn month in and month out that I'm pregnant so not holding my breath!! Baby dust to everyone yet to test 🥰

Sorry.. I've been so busy with my sons birthday yesterday and Xmas eve today that I haven't caught up! Congratulations to all the Christmas BFPs 🎉🎅🏼 and baby. Dust to those still waiting to test 🤞🏻
CD28.. DPO WHO KNOWS?! and a BFN on my morning FRER - feeling like the grinch 😩
Sticking to my mantra that it's not over until AF shows her face and I'm thinking that will be around 28th Dec if I go by last month.
Anyone still waiting to test this weekend?

Thanks @Shortmamashortcycles and @MrsLeclerc I don't think I've had any symptoms so far other than my usual pre AF stuff. My rhr was up slightly this morning. I just hope it sticks and all works out ok 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Good luck to anyone testing today and tomorrow xx

@kitty1993 that’s so lovely! Congratulations to you both and Merry Christmas ❤️

@kitty1993, omg that's amazing for 9DPO! What a wonderful result after endo surgery. 😍

I'm also 9DPO but I'm terrified to test... trying to hang on til Sunday and beginning to panic about AF starting every 5 mins. Oh dear...

Hello all!

Wow, lots of BFPs over the last day or so. Congratulations!!! So exciting!!!

@frenchie4002 - I tested today and a stark white undeniable BFN… didn’t expect anything else sadly. Trying not to let it get me down too much.

I’m 10dpo (going by my OvuSense ovulation date, rather than the Natural Cycles retrospective changed date which would make me only 8dpo. In reality I’m probably somewhere in-between as neither claim to be 100% accurate). 😫

Will test again each morning until AF arrives…(due around 27th).

Good luck to all those also still testing and Merry Christmas to all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

9dpo!!!! Literally couldn't believe my eyes when this came up! I've just had a mad panic to wrap it up with a baby grow and give it to DP as an early Christmas present. He told me "I thought it was going to be socks!" 😂

Seriously didn't think it would happen this quick! I've got endometriosis and have had surgery for it so always felt that we might have trouble but this is our 3rd cycle trying. I hope this can give some hope to any of my other endo warriors ❤️

@i123i thank you, sounds promising that you’re cramping a little, when will you test?

Huge congrats to all the bfps that have appeared - how exciting!! And hugs to those who haven’t had theirs yet - sounds like for a few of us there’s still hope as we’re not out until af arrives. Good luck everyone and have a great Christmas xxx

Another BFN for new this morning, only on a cheapie (but says is sensitivity to 10iumol/ml, that still makes in a cheapie.
Very upset yesterday about it all. Still time to test positive but losing hope for it to be the christmas present we wished for

@pennysays I’m not sure exactly how many dpo I am, I’ve only been using the clue app to track my dates and according to that I ovulated on 11th December. We DTD on 6th, 8th, 9th and 11th December. I wasn’t going to test until tomorrow but after stocking up on tests this morning I could resist lol…so those aren’t taken with FMU. Will do another one tomorrow and see if it’s darker. And then try and hold off a few days before doing a cb digi. Hoping I get more symptoms as at the moment only feeling slightly nauseous now and again and very very very slightly sore boobs, barely noticeable. I’ve had chemical pregs before so I’ll probably spend the next week convincing myself that’s what this is until proven otherwise 😩

@Strawberryicelollie sorry about the BFN. Your symptoms and late AF do still sound promising though so I wouldn’t lose hope until AF arrives. What tests are you using and are you using FMU?

@HRHXO sorry about your BFN 😔 but I agree with @pennysays it could still be a little early yet if you still have 4 days until AF is due so don’t lose hope just yet!

Good luck with your tests tomorrow @LittleMrsMama @oldermam and @pennysays I will pop on and see how you are getting on!

@HRHXO you've still got four days... and they say don't test until your period is late... so don't be too down yet!

@Chasingrainbows1518 whoop!!! great present. How many dpo are you?

@Strawberryicelollie it's not over until AF appears. Are you using your first morning wee? What tests are you using? Some people don't get a positive for a while. Wait a couple of days and test again. The signs are good!

@oldermam and @LittleMrsMama see you here tomorrow morning. Though I'll only be 8dpo so it's unlikely to show anything yet!

Morning all, wasn't going to test until Christmas day at 11dpo but did it today at 10dpo for some reason using easy@home hcg test and it looks negative 😔 AF due Tuesday so I guess there's still a chance but now I don't feel very hopeful at all...

Lots of BFPs on here though so I'm really really happy for everyone getting their Christmas miracles! Hope there are many more to come ✨

@Shortmamashortcycles @LittleMrsMama Haha yes I just realised you can barely see it at all in the photo so now I just look crazy! i was just so excited I didn’t even look at the photo.

I have seen about ten thousand blank FRERs in the course of trying to have my son in 2018-2020 so to see appear at all other than stark white is miraculous to me haha.
