Anyone due to get BFP/AF at Xmas?

@oldermam you have to let us know the outcome! I've developed lower back pain throughout the day and I'm off to Tesco to buy some more tests. Period was due 5 days ago - I've never been this late!

I won't be testing again until the morning. This is driving me mad 🙈🙈

Interesting @Pinkyflipflops. Didn’t realise the wait could be so long! Hopefully you won’t need it.

@madeleine85 - I’m the same with double digits!! 10dpo sounds like a much more reasonable time to start testing in my head 😬!

@LondonladyTTC @whymewhyme - sorry to hear about the BFNs. ❤️

@TheBirdintheCave - reassuring to hear re the alcohol!!

@oldermam - worth another test soon for sure with those symptoms!

@Tigerlilyxx - yes that could still be too early to show a BFP. You’re not out until AF shows up.

Still no symptoms here, 7dpo…I’ll try and resist and do my first test at 10dpo 🌟.

Yessss @oldermam go on and test! I need to know lol. What tests are you using? I just checked my internet cheapies and saw they are 10 mIU/ml. Didnt realise they're were that sensitive, I feel even more pessimistic now ☹ I've got one frer but dont want to waste it.

@madeleine85 that's a good sign about the hair 🤞🏼 got everything crossed for your test tomorrow 🤞🏼
I really dont think this is my month, but if it is, I will wrap the test and give it to my husband on Christmas as well. A bit cheesy but this will definitely be my last pregnancy (if I'm blessed enough to get pregnant) so I will go overboard with everything 🤣

Symptoms actually get worse as the day goes on. I wonder if it's worth testing in the evening instead

@madeleine85 I haven't managed to pick up first response test yet. Might actually pop out to boots now.

My nausea is on another scale. I'm just constantly eating to keep the yucky taste away. Just piling on the weight 😩🙈

I also have sore boobs, and extreme tiredness 😴

So sorry about af ladies @whymewhyme @LondonladyTTC I hope you're ok. Ttc can be so shit! I'll be very upset on friday and drowning my sorrows in prosecco

Ah TTC is such a roller coaster, bloody sick of it now. I've had horrendous fore boobs, feeling sick and been dry heaving for days and today I've just wiped and there is light brown mucus so looks like AF will arrive tomorrow as planed!

Sorry to be negative but i honestly thought this was my month.

AF arrived today and DH tested positive for covid so is now isolating in the spare room, thankfully feeling ok. Very Merry Christmas!!

@Tigerlilyxx Ah sorry, FRER is 'First Response Early Result' :)

Sorry new on here so not sure of the acronyms, not sure on FRER. But I did use a clear blue ultra early, BUT having looked back of my dates AF due 26th is with a 28 day cycle but my last three months are 30 day cycles so I'm probably not due until 28th anyway, which might be too early. But then it's probably not morning sickness either if my hormones levels haven't risen either yet

@Tigerlilyxx It can be too early yes. When I was pregnant with my son I had a BFN at 12dpo and the BFP at 14dpo. I was using cheapies though and the FRER I took on 14dpo was blazing so I think if I'd have used that earlier I would have got a line. What test did you use?

Hi, can I jump on this thread.
We're in fourth cycle of TTC. Currently 10 DPO using OPKs. Started feeling nausea on Saturday in waves, terrible nausea yesterday and actually vomited twice. Did a test this morning (after not sleeping a wink convincing myself I was) and BFN.
Is 10DPO too early or do I just have a stomach bug? AF due boxing day.

My excuse is that I'm using cheapies, and my period always arrives right in time so I never get a chance to use them..so I'm catching up this month and using up my stash

@oldermam 🤣 definitely not alone

@Pinkyflipflops glad it's not just me that's lost the plot 🙈

Sorry about the bfn ladies, finger crossed it's just too early. I also got a bfn this morning, I'm 8 dpo. I think I'll be testing until af arrives, I've officially lost the plot..still zero symptoms.

@madeleine85 when are you going to test? I've got a feeling you're going to get your bfp 😊 @i123i so I rang the surgery and talked with a gp. The good news is that I'm going to have the day 2 and 21 blood tests. The bad news is that I have to be trying for 2 years before being referred to a gynecologist, because I already have several children I wouldn't get treatment funded by the nhs (like ivf, not that I would go down that route anyway) . But the gynecologist could prescribe some stuff. By then I'll be 40 years old 😱 hopefully it wont come to that

We weren't going to try this month as we were planning a holiday in May and I wanted to be able to fly comfortably but it looks like Covid will be changing those plans (again) so we gave it a shot. Period is due 25th/26th. It would be such a lovely Christmas present but I'm already starting to feel like a second baby isn't on the cards for us.

Re Christmas drinking: Please don't worry. The week before I found out I was pregnant with my son I had about six gins and a bottle of cider and he was born perfectly healthy :) TTC is stressful enough, don't deny yourself Christmas fun because of it! :)

10 DPO here, BFN. I am not surprised as I don’t have any symptoms whatsoever.
Good Luck to all of you who are testing today/tomorrow.

Also 9dpo. And gone stick mad. Another bfn this morning but was only a cheapie! Symptoms still strong, nausea. Tiredness. Incredibly painful boobs. But I also have a fair bit of stomach ache today!

I've been up and done my food shopping at 5am. I'm hosting Xmas dinner this year. My first in three years not working. Im just going to busy myself with Christmas prep for the next few days!

@i123i yes this is what I keep telling myself! I suppose I'm just impatient hahaha! Looking forward to finishing work on Thursday for a three day break! (Provided we aren't plunged into lockdown!)

@Pinkyflipflops - definitely don’t feel bad ringing your GP about this. I’ll be 35 in a couple of months, and husband is mid 40s so if we’re not pregnant by then, then I’ll be trying to be seen by my GP too as it’ll have been well over 6 months by then.

@madeleine85 - hope the journey is ok! Tingly nipples sounds painful. Hope it results in a BFP!

@RAP08 - welcome and sorry to hear about the BFN. I’ve read some people don’t get them until a week or more after they’re late… you’re not out until AF arrives. 🌟

Uuughh final 3 days of work before I can relax for Christmas!! Guess it’s a good distraction from this.

Yes. Peaks showed it should have been CD14. Took another test this morning being 14dpo and still negative! I suppose I'll just have to wait a few more days!
