Anyone testing Christmas Eve?

Bless you! It’s only natural to feel this way if it helps at all - I’ve had many of ups and downs during my time. Feeling more positive heading into the new year and hopefully you can get to that stage too. Try not to compare where you’re at against others, it’s really difficult I know but set out some goals that are achievable - for me it was all about getting to the next date for tests, or trying something different each month, or taking a month off researching, unfollowing people on social media etc etc getting into control helps me take control of an uncontrollable situation somehow! Everyone is different but talking helps and we’re here to listen so don’t be afraid to share your feelings xx

Thank you - and to everyone else who commented. I think it's so hard being happy for everyone around you (which I want to be) whilst my own life seems to be on hold. Again. I just feel so far behind where I want to be, and that life is passing me by. xx

@Ella31 oh bless you! I had a negative last month at 11dpo and a positive at 13 however it ended in a chemical - even after digital tests etc.

its not over until it’s officially over though so keeping fingers and toes crossed for the next few days for you 🥰 xx

It’s a rollercoaster of emotions @Moosey82 , last month when af came, I cried all day on my birthday, completely ruined it for myself. I really had to step back from Google because I was actually googling things like “ did anyone get a full period and still be pregnant “ I came to the realisation how traumatised I must have been after the mc. So do whatever you need to do next month to get through it. Happy New Year to you and it goes without saying when you do get that bfp - update us.

Aw no ; I’m sorry to hear that. I hate the pressure of it all.

Well thought I had a faint line on frer yesterday but totally blank today fmu. I’m 11dpo today and period is due today so not holding out hope. Our day will come hopefully.

@Ella31 currently sat here horrendously hungover and battling the dreaded endometriosis period pains 🎄😅 Merry Christmas eh!?

I knew this would be the case this month (as always hoped differently) however I am very excited for 2023 and feeling ready for the new year ahead… how’s things with you now!? Fingers and toes crossed… Xx

Can’t believe it I’ve been sick as a dog since the 21st dec cough flu really bad not slept it’s horrendous I was due on Xmas day but I’ve just been so poorly tested today and there it is bfp. Said to my partner do you want a last minute Christmas present! 😅😅 But now I’m worried as I’ve been taking inruprofens and cough medicine to help me through. Just processing it all what a whirlwind I just want to feel better now but think my body is just not handling ill ess very well and now I know why 😆

@Yolo23 any luck for you?

Thankyou @MrsTurner3 it would have been a long shot this month anyway but can't deny I was a little disappointed when I went to the loo in the early hours. Ah well, guess time to crack back on and try again !

@CameraCoffeeCrochet that's amazing news! So pleased for you!!!! What a great present! 😊

@AccidentallyRunToWindsor sorry to hear that! We're in the same boat if that's any consolation at all. AF must have confused herself with Santa because she decided to show up in the night too. Fingers crossed for us for next cycle!! X

Congratulations @CameraCoffeeCrochet what a lovely Xmas present!

I was due to test this morning but AF arrived in the night so no need 😞

I've been reading this thread since it started and didn't want to join in as every month I get a negative test and it's so disheartening, but I was really hoping for some kind of Christmas miracle. Tested this morning on a digital, I thought it would be way to early to test as AF isn't due until the 31st...and I'm in total shock, got a 1-2 weeks pregnant!! I cannot believe it.
Had a year of trying after miscarriage and then a TFMR and it was my 44th birthday a couple of days ago. Wasn't hopeful in the slightest.

So there is hope. I know this is only the start and things may go wrong but I can only hope. Xx good luck everyone, I've got all my fingers crossed for you.

No wine now at Xmas dinner :(

@Butterflygirl23 I’m sorry about this month, sending you all the baby dust for next month xx

@Yolo23 Very well said ❤️ Merry Christmas to you too lovely!!!! X

AF isn’t officially here for me but I can sense it is if you know what I mean.. everyone I hope you have an amazing weekend regardless of outcome! Do what you need to do, and fingers crossed for any Dec BFPs that were still hopeful for but for anyone else let’s go into 2023 with the mindset that this will be our year 🥳🙏✨

Happy Christmas Eve everybody!! xx

@MrsTurner3 @Ella31

Good to have someone here with similar dates. Yes my tracking app is never quite right either and I'm always a day out here or there. My cycles range from 27 to 33 days usually. Only tracked using CM this month but I was certain I got the right window.
Tested this morning anyway, another BFN for me 😩
Fingers crossed for your BFP!!!! 🤞🏼

So sorry! Fingers crossed for you for next cycle!!! 🤞🏻

9dpo is still early! Fingers crossed for you that cramps aren't AF!!

That's such a good sign. I had spotting last time too but nothing now at 9dpo 😪 I reckon im out. Feeling cramps as well with period only two days away

Aw Butterfly Girl as hard as it is, try not to let this ruin your Christmas. I'm pretty sure I'm out as well and hopefully January will be the month..

Tested this morning with FRER 9pdo - stark white - am I still too early. Can feel lower back cramps, I'd say AF will be bang on time on Monday

AF arrived last night. Absolutely devastated 🥲

@Ella31 bless you, thank you 🥰

Great to know someone else is on a similar timeframe - I’m getting some unusual brown CM today which was what I confirmed as spotting during last months cycle (days before BFP)… keeping my fingers and toes crossed as the pains went within a minute or two earlier so god knows what’s going on with my body at the moment 😂 I’m going to test perhaps Xmas morning? I will be ready for whatever either way - but don’t feel testing tomorrow will give an accurate reading either way (based on last month)… for me, it’ll likely be the 26th that I’ll get an accurate response if AF hasn’t arrived by then… keep me up to date! Wishing you the absolute best of luck too my lovely xx

Aw Yolo, it doesn't matter how far along , a loss is still a loss so I hope you are doing ok since it. We'll my AF is due day after Xmas so we are in this together. Hopefully you,'ll be announcing good news.

Oh bless you! That must have been awful. I can’t imagine if I was further along in the process.. it was horrible even after a few days to know. I’ve got cramps this evening which feel more like AF so to be perfectly honest, I’d expect AF to come now on Xmas day - maybe the app was right! I’m not holding out and mentally ready for next month and this month due to being uncertain and chilled this cycle. Fingers crossed for the next and fingers crossed for your BFP soon xxx
