I’m almost 100% convinced I’m out now!

Really really hoping a December baby is the one. Anyone else?

@em123456789 sorry for the BFN, it's so frustrating, especially when that first test had an obvious line! How annoying, you never know though, keep testing :) I hope it wasn't a false positive for you šŸ¤ž

MrsGrealish · 06/04/2022 11:30

@Bubblesandballoons ah the TWW my old friend😭 CD14 today and still plenty of the EWCM. I've been in work past 2 days so haven't been doing OPKs properly kinda looking at them when I had a minute but they had dried up and not a real reading. I'll check properly today and then I'll know. Boobs not at all sore which makes me think I haven't moved into luteal phase yetšŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

That must be so hard you are very strong al lot more self restraint than me. Changing my mind in minutes about this month being a month off.

em123456789 · 06/04/2022 11:15

14 days po but just done a frer and it came back negative 😭

Charl881 · 06/04/2022 11:06

@TTBAM91 congratulations! This thread is for those of us still trying for a December baby, but on the pregnancy and birth club boards there are some due date groups for December with people who might be able to give you some reassurance as they are all going through the same thing (I was on there briefly until mine turned into a chemical!).

Charl881 · 06/04/2022 11:05

@Bubblesandballoons I can imagine that was tough! At least you know in a couple of days there won’t be anything you can do like you say. How annoying about the appt but hopefully they can rearrange it soon. Have you spoken much to your doctor about it? My friend fell pregnant while waiting for an appt at the recurrent miscarriage clinic and was prescribed progesterone - the pregnancy was then successful.

I’ve been doing cheap OPKs and nothing yet plus no EWCM so I don’t think it’s going to be early for me, just hoping that it’s actually delayed until after DP is back next week. I’m going to do a clear blue later just to see if I’m ā€˜high’ yet - I usually get four or five high days before a peak so if it’s still showing low then hopefully it means my ovulation is delayed. I keep reminding myself it’s really not a big deal if we can’t try this month, but it’s frustrating especially when you’re supposedly more fertile the cycle after a chemical.

TTBAM91 · 06/04/2022 11:03

Hello, hope I’m ok to message here. I have just hit the 6 week mark today so I believe (according to due date calculator) my due date is 1st December should all go well.

The thing is, I have suffered 2 very early miscarriages (both before or on the 5 week mark) so I don’t have any excitement and probably won’t until I hear a heartbeat, and even then I’m sure it will be short lived as panic settles in again. I just wish so much I could enjoy this and feel excited but I just want to cry all the time.

Fingers crossed all goes well and I can have my first baby as a Christmas miracle ā¤ļø

Bubblesandballoons · 06/04/2022 10:57

I had a wobble this morning as it’s peak day today, tmi but loads of ewcm making me feel I’ve wet myself šŸ™ˆ, tested to confirm for tracking. Managed to talk to myself about reasons I was skipping and feel ok again šŸ˜‚. Be a lot easier once I know ovulation has passed and no going back lol. Had my date from the recurrent miscarriage clinic date and was in the middle of my holiday, so have had to request it is rearranged and heard nothing back yet 😩. Least it was sooner than the 32 weeks it said online I suppose.
@Charl881 how’s the tracking going? Any sign so far?
@em123456789 looks like a bfp to me, how many dpo are you?
@BiscuitLover3678 @MrsGrealish are you both in the tww now?

Hi hope it's ok to post, just took this test, it's only a cheap strip from tescos, the line came up within the first minute, hard to get a pic
Just wanted to get a second opinion to see if I'm going crazyšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ period was due today

Still here too x CD13 today

Charl881 · 05/04/2022 12:16

Also still here but not due to ovulate until next Tuesday, maybe later. And as OH is away Thursday - Thursday can’t really try this month but just still lurking on the thread hoping to see BFPs for others!

BiscuitLover3678 · 05/04/2022 08:59

I’m also still here! Due to ovulate tomorrow or Thursday so will be DTD as much as we can

Hey @GeraniumCedarwood!

Me! Currently 2DPO, due date would be Christmas Eve! :)

Trying not to overthink the TWW, this is my first cycle off the pill so I'd be incredibly lucky if I were to get my BFP straight away.. trying not to get my hopes up.

How you feeling?

GeraniumCedarwood · 05/04/2022 08:29

Hey, is anyone still hanging around here? Sorry to hear that AF has come for some :(

I think I am 1dpo today. I waited to see when I would ovulate before coming on here as due date if I did ovulate yesterday would be the end of December (hahaa Christmas day) but could have been a January baby. (My cycles have been pretty variable in terms of length)

Is anyone else still in the 2WW?

exne · 04/04/2022 14:31

Just wanted to check in and say I have everything crossed for you all this month. You will get your Christmas babies!!! šŸ¤žšŸ»

Charl881 · 04/04/2022 12:54

Ok I’m all stocked up on OPKs. Writing off this month mentally but still want to see where my cycle is at then all set to go next month.

@Maybebabyno2 I can see something but could just be a smudge! Keep us updated.

MrsGrealish · 03/04/2022 21:13

@Maybebabyno2 I do see a line for sure. It's kinda close to a really white line which is throwing me off a bit. What sensitivity are the tests?
Line watch is not my strongest quality though. As my previous cycle suggested šŸ˜…

Welcome though and I hope it's the start of a bfp xx

MrsGrealish · 03/04/2022 21:00

@Charl881 god that really was the TWW from hell. With a nightmare of an ending for you.

I would do that too, I'm far too nosey with my cycle (kinda wondering can you freeze sperm at home??!..most definitely probably not im sure they freeze at -100oC or something ridiculous)

I have never gone overdue either 4 weeks early with the first, 10 days ish with my last two. Hoping you catch šŸ¤žšŸ¤žand get a belated Christmas present šŸ‘¶ xx

Maybebabyno2 · 03/04/2022 20:51

Hey all, please can i join?

Af due next Saturday and currently 8dpo.

I have done a test this evening, have line eyes really badly but I know it is way too early to test. Had a few mini aches in lower back and right side so hoping that's all signs for something good! šŸ™

Currently ttc no2, haven't tracked the cycles but I had a mc in Nov 2020 and Jan 2022. My son is 2 years old and took 7 years to conceive.

Attached a pic of my absolutely too early test for fun.

Charl881 · 03/04/2022 20:38

@MrsGrealish I know it’s gutting isn’t it, really thought that was it after a tortuous TWW. I still can’t believe it to be honest but ready to get trying again if we get the chance. I think I will order more easy@homes just so I can track what my body is doing even if we don’t actually get chance to try this month.

If we were able to catch then my due date would be around 2nd Jan but DS was two weeks early so could still just about catch a December baby!

Graceybaby · 03/04/2022 14:20

Thank you @MrsGrealish!

Bring on those Christmas bubba's šŸŽ…šŸ»šŸŽ„

MrsGrealish · 03/04/2022 13:44

@Graceybaby hey lovely, welcome! Yes the more possible December due dates the better xx

Graceybaby · 03/04/2022 13:17

Hey ladies, can I join? If I conceive this cycle our baby will be due Christmas Eve! I'm on cycle one of TTC baby #2 ā˜ŗļø According to app today is ovulation day, had peak opk yesterday and still very positive today so I'm not too sure. I'm going to follow the app and count tomorrow as 1DPO. Been a while since I've been in a TWW! šŸ™ˆ

Nyxxie · 03/04/2022 12:46

@MrsGrealish it would make December very busy and expensive but it really would be a lovely way to start a new year!

MrsGrealish · 03/04/2022 11:27

@Nyxxie I think mine would be 29 December. Would be the best start to a new year xx
