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 👀

It said the same yesterday if it doesn't start test in 3 days and now it's saying it today! Like I said I never have a cycle of 31 days and that'll be Friday so il test. I tested yesterday it was negative so that's why I'm not getting my hopes up! I'm not sure what's going off, I spotted last Friday evening and nothing since

@Milamight congratulations! A lovely strong line!

@Butterflygirl23 you must have the patience of a saint to wait, I really admire that! Does Flo always suggest testing 3 days after missed period?

I’m not celebrating just yet as I’m not positive on the Boots dip sticks yet so going to wait until AF is supposed to come and hold my breath til then!

Butterflygirl23 · 21/12/2022 11:15

Flo says I was due yesterday but says if period doesn't come today test in 3 days so I'm going to wait till Friday!
I have hardly no symptoms just my boobs have started to get sore today so I'm not sure what's going on but big congratulations to you @doughyparton

Owlgirl14 · 21/12/2022 11:08

Ooh congratulations! AF was due for me yesterday but not turned up yet. I'm planning on testing Christmas morning if it still hasn't arrived! Anyone else in the same boat?

Milamight · 21/12/2022 11:03

I just took this, 2 days before I'm due on...eeeek!!!!

Anyone testing Christmas Eve?
doughyparton · 21/12/2022 07:44

@Butterflygirl23 Not really but really not sure as I’ve been symptom spotting. I’ve been having headaches on and off, mood swings, mild cramping plus the spotting the other day but I feel like all these could have been PMT too. Oh, I tell a lie; I’m really hungry at breakfast time, I’m normally good til 10am but I’m waking up ravenous!

Did Flo tell you you had an extra long cycle this month?

Butterflygirl23 · 21/12/2022 07:37

@doughyparton it is!!! Congratulations!!!!! Do you have any symptoms?

doughyparton · 21/12/2022 07:26

@Butterflygirl23 i just took one and I think it’s positive…?

Butterflygirl23 · 21/12/2022 06:51

F I don't start by Friday Il test Friday because I've never had 31 day cycle so il see! I'm really nervous because I've really got my hopes up but I don't even feel like af is on its way! What about you @doughyparton are you testing again today?

doughyparton · 20/12/2022 22:14

@Butterflygirl23 fingers crossed for you, there’s still lots of time at 10 dpo! What are you testing on?

Ella31 · 20/12/2022 18:06

Yes, mine is the 25th so I will be testing Christmas Eve also. Second Cycle trying after miscarriage 4 months ago. Trying to stay calm as last month I stressed about it so much.

Butterflygirl23 · 20/12/2022 15:07

I'm due today but nothing as of yet. I took a test but negative this morning. I think I ovulated later so I'm 10 dpo today so I'm hoping it's still early

PP82 · 20/12/2022 09:07

@doughyparton looking hopeful. Keeping everything crossed for you!

doughyparton · 20/12/2022 08:12

@emhope pic was taken at about 4 minutes - it’s a pretty representative picture of what the line looked like from 1 minute on, apart from it appears a tiny bit pinker in real life. I’m going to hold off and wait for a couple of days now before I test again!

emhope · 20/12/2022 08:07

@doughyparton how soon after doing the test was that pic taken? If it was soon after that looks like the start of a BFP to me 🤞🏻 but like @Stillwinston said FRER can show indents if it’s after the time…I had an awful one last cycle when I looked back at the test after 30 mins. Fingers crossed this is your BFP though 🙂

doughyparton · 19/12/2022 23:28

Thanks for the replies @Stillwinston and @Butterflygirl23 - going to try and hold off and test again in 48 hours!

Butterflygirl23 · 19/12/2022 21:00

doughyparton · 19/12/2022 20:17

So, I took a pic of my test because I thought it might be faulty as I assumed any test lines should be closer together? But I’ve looked at other FRER tests and positive lines look in about the same positions. What do we think?

Looks promising @doughyparton

Stillwinston · 19/12/2022 20:56

@doughyparton that looks promising! I would normally suggest caution with the FRERs as they're super bad for indents recently but your line looks like it has colour. Fingers crossed - take another test in a day or so and hopefully you'll see some progression 🤞

@Milamight Will test again tomorrow at 9dpo - I think I'm probably going to go a bit testing mad but it's my first cycle TTC #1 so I figure I can go a bit overboard now and then calm down next month!

doughyparton · 19/12/2022 17:54

I just did a test at 8DPO and it came back with a BFN. Don't worry though ladies, I've bought enough tests to go crazy at POAS!

Butterflygirl23 · 19/12/2022 16:19

I got hit with the flu at the start of last week so I spent most of the week poorly so I didn't really symptom spot but I normally get really sore boobs right after ovulation leading up to AF but this time nothing at all no symptom other than bloating really bad which never normally bothers me! I spotted brown ish blood once Friday evening but not since. I don't usually spot at all, my nipples are slightly sensitive today I've noticed

Moosey82 · 19/12/2022 16:08

doughyparton · 18/12/2022 07:23

@Moosey82 @Harper02 @Stillwinston @Butterflygirl23 have you ladies been symptom spotting? Every little change in my body or twinge in my mental state I’ve been meticulously trying to analyse it, but I feel like that way madness lies!

Yes and no... I am not deliberately looking out for symptoms but similar to you whenever I feel a twinge that is where my mind goes to first! It's really hard to just keep going like you're not waiting for those horrible 2 weeks!

doughyparton · 19/12/2022 13:14

@emhope definitely Xmas eve, I’d say.

doughyparton · 19/12/2022 13:12

@Butterflygirl23 not really! Only symptoms of a cold and random spotting - I promised myself I would only start testing on Weds but if I get some maybe I’ll test today?
