Hi there, AF is due the 23rd, going to text christmas eve morning.
Does anyone want to chat along the way?
Got a busy week visiting friends and festive activities to keep my mind off it as I'm an utter POAS addict 👀

I'm so sorry to hear that. I had a miscarriage 4 months ago at 7 weeks really knocked me back. Hopefully we'll get our bfp soon. Yeah my luteal phase is only 11 days so it's a really narrow window for HCG to rise too. I'm so confused.

8dpo tested too early....BFN....there's still hope. AF due on Monday.

Hang in there! Definitely could be too early to test.. I only had a BFP last month at 13DPO - didn’t test at 12.. had 2 negatives before that on maybe 10 and 11.

unforrunately mind ended in chemical which is why I’d encourage everyone to test as close to AF as possible but even with that experience I’ve tested today 🤣 I’m just more mindful and prepared this time around… wishing you the best of luck!! ❤️✨

Yolo23 · 23/12/2022 19:38

Sorry 25th to 29th that was supposed to say on mine @MrsTurner3

Hope you ladies don't make me joining late. 1st cycle TTC #2. AF due to start anytime between Christmas day and 27th. Roughly 12dpo today and tested today and got a BFN. Symptom spotting like mad. Felt like from about 4DPO til yesterday I had really sore boobs and nipples, bad bloating, cramps and backache. Not usual ovulation or PMS symptoms for me so I convinced myself I'm pregnant because that's how I felt with my first. But then since yesterday, nothing! Feel like my mind must be playing tricks on me.

Fingers crossed for everyone and congrats on the BFPs already!!!!!

@MrsTurner3 hey! I’m fairly similar to you - AF due Xmas day but I’ve a feeling my tracking app is slightly incorrect so anywhere between 24th to 28th I’d assume based on my symptoms. Hope you get your BFP - I have all the same symptoms so hopeful for me too 🤞✨

I'm out, AF arrived fully yesterday.

I have some serious decisions to make - TTC is absolutely destroying me again and it's only been a couple of months (previous time TTC no.1 took nearly 3 years and ended in MMC).

Congratulations to everyone getting BFPs, good luck to those still testing. Think I'm going to take myself off here as I thought it would help but it's making me feel worse xx

Sorry to hear how you’re feeling @Moosey82 ive only experience of a recent chemical but I wanted to send my love and say to hold right. I have occasions where I’m extremely active on here and then I go off for a while - do what’s best for you and look after yourself during what can be a highly emotional time of year 🥰 xx

doughyparton · 22/12/2022 22:03

@Butterflygirl23 implantation can happen as late as 10dpo so you’re not out until AF arrives!

TTCJJB · 22/12/2022 21:25

I'll join you, provided AF doesn't show up tomorrow.

This is my first month TTC baby number 1, we have been loosely using flo to track ovulation but haven't done any tests or anything, very much novices in the ttc world, so any advice is very much welcomed.

Best of luck to everyone trying this month.

Owlgirl14 · 22/12/2022 20:13

I'll be testing Xmas Eve. Currently 2 days late for AF and have had various symptoms so far. Anyone else in a similar boat x

Stillwinston · 22/12/2022 19:51

I've started spotting so think I'm out - at least that means I can fully embrace all the Christmas excesses though 😂 seems like this thread has been pretty lucky so far so congratulations to everyone who's had their BFP x

Butterflygirl23 · 22/12/2022 19:27

Well my test was a BFN so I must just be late, I think I'm roughly 12 dpo so surely it'd shown on a test was just an asdas one? Nevermind

doughyparton · 22/12/2022 18:26

@emhope congratulations!!! Such a nice Xmas surprise!

doughyparton · 22/12/2022 18:23

@Butterflygirl23 eeee yes! Okay, doing a baby dance for you, not like that baby dance but like a rain dance baby dance.

Shxo · 22/12/2022 18:08

AF Due 27th for us, earliest we can test 22nd... dying to test now but after last months dissapointment (what looked to be positive lines that wernt) we are trying to refrian. We said we were going to test xmas eve, that would be 10/11DPO (29 day cycle) - feel like we will ruin xmas with it. 🙄🙈 Last time we were symptom spotting. Been much better doing our own thing but getting harder now its near AF. LUCK TO YOU ALL!

@Butterflygirl23 keep us updated!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

@doughyparton still haven't started, on my way to buy some tests 🤞🏼

Milamight · 22/12/2022 11:06

Congratulations emhope!! We started trying a year ago, had mmc in June at 14w and i got my bfp 2 days ago, I'm still in shock! Xx

@Ella31 short luteal means you have less time between ovulation and AF? That shouldn’t effect when you’d get a BFP as I think it still takes the same time for fertilisation and implantation and at 7dpo I think it’s still too early. I got nothing on 7dpo and what I thought was an evap line at 8dpo and even then I think that’s quite early. I’ve been reading that 8-12 dpo is about the right time to start getting HCG readings on a test so you’ve still a bit of time.

Aw thanks so much for the message. The cramping is what's worrying me. Feels like my period coming on

Couldn’t wait until Christmas Eve and just tested! So shocked, after 9 cycles of trying I really didn’t expect to see those two lines! So happy 💕

Anyone testing Christmas Eve?

@Butterflygirl23 keep us updated!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Ella31 · 22/12/2022 10:16

Cramps in lower groin area, AF is 4 days away. Pretty sure I'm out at this point. Similar to last months disappointment. My luteal phase is short (11 days) so I'm 7dpo only. Am I right in thinking it's still too early. I've tested BFN this morning.

Kayycatt · 21/12/2022 18:50

Wow congrats with all the positives!!

Couldn't resist and tested this morning at 10 dpo, it was a BFN and now I am spotting very lightly, which means AF is coming :( baby dusts to everyone else who has yet to test.

Ella31 · 21/12/2022 15:44

Congratulations, I'm 6dpo and my period is due in 5 days so short luteal phase....not holding out much hope for my rainbow baby.
