Anyone due to get BFP/AF at Xmas?

Hi ladies! I’m new here.. been ttc for 3months.. I developed a weird/foul/metallic taste in mouth accompanied with period cramping when I was due on.. I am now 4 days late.. took a preg test this morning and BFN.. 😞has anyone else had similar?? Am I testing too early? Thanks!

I'll check in before the house wakes up tomorrow!

@Chasingrainbows1518 they're so clear! You're definitely not going crazy! I love that 4am trip, so funny! A lovely Christmas present!

@TheBirdintheCave I'm terrible at spotting faint lines on photos but really pleased for you! Hope they darken up over the next few days 😀

Great to have some nice stories today!

@Chasingrainbows1518 I see them! Very clearly too! Wow! How many DPO are you? (Also where do you live that shops are open at 4am?!?)

@TheBirdintheCave, ooh exciting - I am bad at seeing vvfl on photos but I know how much fainter they come up on camera. If it's there, it's there. 🤞🤞 they get darker!

Morning all, well I went shopping at 4am and bought 4 tests. Got him and all self control went out the window. Both have lines, please tell me you all see them too and I’m not ABSOLUTELY crazy

Good luck with testing tomorrow @Chasingrainbows1518 - you have brilliant self control!

@oldermam that's disappointing with the BFN, I've not tested since Wednesday but had a BFN then and felt a bit sad. AF due tomorrow.

I ran out of FRER so used a cheepie this morning and didn't even get a control line so that was a waste of time! Going to wait now until tomorrow morning (FRER arriving later today)

Meet back here tomorrow morning for Christmas Day testing ladies?

In shock here. Faint line on a FRER this morning. I cannot believe it and probably won’t until it gets darker. I seemingly ovulated later than I thought! :O

Another bfn on a first response. No af. But not due until Boxing Day. But I'm off to buy wine for tomorrow I think. I will test again in the morning just in case. 😢 still nauseous.

Congratulations on your BFPs @madeleine85 and @Verysadperson101 that is amazing!

Welcome to all the new joiners! I’m still here and still waiting to test. AF not officially due until tomorrow so been holding out for that, no real symptoms other than slight nausea every now and then but nothing major, but you never know! I think I’m going to buy a test today so I’ve got one in stock if AF doesn’t show, don’t want to be stuck without one tomorrow!

Good luck to anyone due to test! Fingers crossed for lots of BFPs and sticky beans!!

Yes @Tempusfudgeit !!!! Congratulations!!!!! I'm hope everything goes smoothly for you!

Thank you, I had my booster this morning and I thought the metallic taste might be from that!

I had placenta previa in my last pregnancy (age 43) and the surgeon strictly told me and my husband 'No more babies!' Whoops

@Tempusfudgeit come on sticky bean! Keep us posted.

@Tempusfudgeit Wow! Huge congratulations :) Fingers crossed for a sticky baby for you!

Hi everybody! I just got a strong positive on a FRER at 13dpo and I'm slightly in shock. I'm 45 and we only dtd 3 days before OV this month.

At my age there's a 50% chance of miscarriage so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I may not even tell my husband until things are more confirmed, so it's lovely to be able to share it on here!

Positive thoughts to everyone

Big congrats on the BFP @Verysadperson101 and @madeleine85 ! Lovely to have such good news before Christmas, keeping my fingers crossed we have some more good news in the group.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! No idea how many DPO I am as didn't track but but think I'm around 11DPO and due on Saturday. Tests so far have been BFN but thinking of trying tomorrow morning. Had a rest day today as the disappointment got too much but then it's really addictive 'just in case' something comes up!

Thanks for all the encouragement and positivity, I'll test again Xmas morning so I'm not spending the day wondering.
So sorry to hear of all the MMC and CPs, I had a CP in July, it's sad how common it is

It's encouraging to see the BFP, fingers crossed we have more in the next few days 🤞🤞

Congratulations @Verysadperson101 - such happy news!!

@FreckledMouse - spotting at this stage seems like a positive sign to me!

My last period was on the 4th Dec

@Tigerlilyxx I think I’m 9dpo

@madeleine85 @Verysadperson101 congratulations, can definitely see lines!!!
Can I ask how many DpO you were to get positive?

Huge congratulations @madeleine85 and @Verysadperson101 ♥️ those look positive to me 🎄✨ hope they are sticky !

I tested today at 10dpo and it's BFN for me ☹️
Although I don't think I implanted until 9dpo (dip in chart, cramps and spotting)
I've had a tiny bit of spotting today but not due period for another 5 days or so (my cycles are weird since my op though so 😬)

Hoping it's a good sign and staying hopeful.

Anyone know how long after implantation they got their BFP with previous pregnancies? ♥️
