**@ScotsBaby2 how are you feeling so far this tww?

Maybe more drunk than I should be 😂

I have two kids already so this time of year is really hectic and lots of late nights so I've not really though about it. It's my daughter's 5th birthday party on Wednesday and once it's finished then I will have nothing else to focus on but tww and tidying the house.
How about you?

I wonder if anyone knows much about OPKs it’s my first cycle using them. Yesterday I was day cycle day 11 and 0.41 and today I’m day 12 and jumped up to 1.63 and it says peak. does that seem right!? Didn’t DTD yesterday so going to tonight and hopefully that will be okay!?

thanks xx

@Bluelightbaby AF also arrived for me on Xmas morning 😞 sending you lots of love!

GemLou88 · 26/12/2022 00:20

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Congratulations to those who got their BFP. Send love to those who got a BFN or AF xx
I’ve had a bit more confusion around my O. Got a static smiley on thursday (cd22) but no peak on ic. Friday got a peak on ic, but also did Saturday. Tested again with clear blue Christmas morning and got another static smiley. But through the day with ic levels decreased. I’m not sure what day to class O so I’m saying the 25th (cd24) when levels started to decrease? We dtd on cds 19, 21, 23 and 24. Hopefully whenever O was we caught it 🤞🏻just confused when to test now too so think I’m going to wait until 7th if I can

And like a little Xmas gift at exactly 00:15 on Xmas day AF came :( :(

@hiautumn for me those are too dark to be indents or evaps. I would say tentative congratulations..:

hello everyone! Merry Christmas and congrats to all that have had their BFPs, what a lovely Christmas present!!
I have a quick question, I’ve done 4 IC tests from the same urine this evening… these are two of them and the other two were stark white negatives, so I’m very confused. Has anyone else had this with IC and had AF arrive? I’m CD25, approx 8-10dpo and in cycle 2 TTC #1

@Saturnsmoon @PumpkinTruffles congratulations to you both on your BFP’s 😊

@Roxybabe was really nervous but I did the digital, definitely makes it seem more real 😬

Ladies, 10dpo - very very very faint line on Frer. Not even going to read into it, let's see what the next few days bring.

bubblebab · 25/12/2022 09:45

Sorry to jump on here- but does anyone see anything? I swear I can 😅 but I think I'm testing too early (don't track ovulation) thank you! X

Ah thank you all. I don't really get symptoms before my period. The reason I took the test was because my boobs have been absolutely killing me which is unusual and it made me wonder. I really hope it sticks 🤞🏻

Saturnsmoon · 24/12/2022 18:24

@Roxybabe thank you!! Fingers crossed for healthy and happy pregnancies for both of us. Xx

@Saturnsmoon ahhhh amazing!!! Congrats!! Yeah maybe you ovulated abit later!! Try not to worry! You got your BFP! Xxx

So turns out what I originally thought was AF arriving was implantation bleeding. Based on what I thought my ovulation date was I’m a bit surprised it’s only showing 1-2 weeks but I think @Roxybabe may have been right in suggesting I might have ovulated later (I don’t bbt so very possible). Just going to try not to worry about it. Getting out of drinking over the next week is going to require a lot of creativity 🤪 but I’m so so happy - this was our 12th cycle so was really starting to feel like there was something wrong. The only real thing we did differently was relax a bit about it. We were on the second month of taking vit c & d and epo for me. Definitely had less regimented sex and kept my feet warm during tww by sleeping with socks on 😂.

Merry Christmas ladies - fingers crossed for lots more BFPs.

Congratulations @PumpkinTruffles 🥳

I’m still using my OPK’s to see when my levels start dropping. But this is my second full day with peaks. Anyone else had this? Thought I would see a decline by now. Am I right in saying when you start to see a decline that’s when ovulation is happening?

Seasidegirll · 24/12/2022 16:45

@Roxybabe thank you! I’ll have a little look at them x

Thanks. A chemical is always a worry and yet still I test early. I'm going to put it out of my mind and re-test if my period doesn't show up in a few days

Congrats , do you have any symptoms that feel like your period is coming.

Hopefulfor4 · 24/12/2022 15:26

Looks like a nice line to me certainly not a squinter!! But then I'm always a bit worried to trust them until about darker as I've had a few chemicals! X

PumpkinTruffles · 24/12/2022 14:55

@Hopefulfor4 Well it seems to have worked so clearly I was making that up! Grin

PumpkinTruffles · 24/12/2022 14:52

Hopefully this works - I've only just rejoined today after deleting my account a while back. I might be making this up but I think I read somewhere you can't add photos for a short period after joining...?
