Since I'm out for this month... Best chance to try again in a few weeks

Thought we could start a new chat for everyone who could potentially get their bfp in December or try again

Hi ladies, can I join this thread? Is anyone in the 2ww right now? My af is due dec. 24th

I'm really hoping this month I conceived

H938 · 14/12/2023 18:54

@bobbles4091 I know what you mean. I was sure I was all week but now I have given up. Im not testing again, I am waiting for AF on the weekend then will try again with less pressure!! Hoping to see your BFP this weekend 🤞🏼

@Saffie920 yeah im never too sure!! Not much longer and you will know! X

@bobbles4091 I dont know how you can not test 😂 sounds very promising!! X

Honestly, nor do I 😂 I've gone from needing to know everything about everything to putting my head totally in the sand. I just feel so hopeful, it's almost cruel. I've also only got one test and really cba buying more, I've been well and truly fleeced. When will you test?

@bobbles4091 @Saffie920 any updates?

i was just thinking who actually knows when they ovulate- Im going by the app and my peak test (assuming it was within them 3 days) I could be 10/11dpo - hopefully I ovulated later than I thought and just testing early! I have two days to wait and see though. x

Thanks for checking in! I'm 12DPO and one day late, but too nervous to test. I was so disappointed with Tuesdays BFN. I comforted myself with the fact it was probably too early to be sure, so a BFN now would feel more final 🙈 I think I'll brave it tomorrow morning, or Saturday when I'm 14DPO like the text books say.

Saffie920 · 14/12/2023 14:36

Sorry to hear it's negative atm, it can take a while for BFP to show up so hopefully that's the case for you 😊

This was my first month testing ovulation. My LH level started to increase from the evening of CD15 and then it was 1.1 in the morning of CD16 and peaked at 1.3 on the afternoon of that day. I had ovulation pain around my right ovary at about 10pm on CD16 so I'm pretty sure I ovulated then and so the egg probably survived from then to the end of CD17.

Who knows though! I don't have any other months to compare it all to really. I tend to feel ovulation on my left side more so that tends to alternate every other month. I presume I ovulate from my right side on the alternate months and just can't feel it but who knows!

H938 · 14/12/2023 14:25

@Saffie920 when you get the peak ovulation test do you ovulate that day?

I can usually feel ovulation from my right side but I cant remember this month i have also had loads going on, on the left side so who knows. I have had this pulling feeling and like a stich - i feel like im going mad too as I think I overthink all of this then will come on in 2 days and none of it meant anything 😂

Still negative. Im hoping Im testing early so will wait til sat now x

Saffie920 · 14/12/2023 14:20

Hey @H938 no updates here - I'm still too early to test. I'm pretty sure I'm 8dpo because I tend to get ovulation pain so I'm basing it on that (as well as my peak ovulation test). But my app thinks I'm only 7DPO, so who knows...

I have had a couple of twinges around my ovaries / uterus area. Mostly they have been on my left side (I'm pretty sure I ovulated from that side this month) but also occasionally on the right and kind of in the middle too 🤣 I might be imagining/overthinking it though.

I'm got a hot water bottle on my tummy (heard that can help with implantation?) and I've been eating beetroot which apparently helps blood flow to the uterus. Think I may have officially gone bonkers but I thought why not try it!

How are you getting on? Are you still holding out to test?

@LuceNumberTwo Ahh I know its really hard and I feel for you on that one. Im lucky i have two already!!

It just takes over your head doesnt it! Atleast now its Christmas and there will be so much going on. I can’t wait to finish work and be in Christmas mode 🤩 X

LuceNumberTwo · 13/12/2023 19:19

@H938 Aww honestly, I fell so bloody easy with my DD, I didn't have a clue trying so be pregnant with a second would be as hard as it is! You'd think doing the right things at the right time but it's so bloody much more than that! I struggle so much with it. Even now I'm bleeding, I know it's AF but my mind is like it's not as heavy.. its not filling a pad on my 2nd day, thats not the same as usual, is it implantation?! I do this every month but its either my AF, or AF after a chemical so far 🥺

Keep updating on you! Hoping you are pregnant 🤞🤞

H938 · 13/12/2023 19:06

@LuceNumberTwo I think i build it up in my head then believe it and i also dont really get why it doesnt work when you do everything at the right time 🤷🏼‍♀️

no doubt i will come on within the next couple of days. My cycle is usually 26 days but because i ovulated late im currently on Cd 29 so god knows what will happen next month!! X

LuceNumberTwo · 13/12/2023 18:53

@Karinx congratulations that's amazing!!! 👏👏👏🥰 wishing you a healthy pregnancy!!

@H938 Oh really?? Are you planning on testing again or just waiting? Wow that's crazy if you are! So hoping so 🥰🤞🤞

H938 · 13/12/2023 18:50

Jojo1203 · 13/12/2023 18:40

I'm out this month .. AF arrived today (2 days late) .. typical!🙄
Trying to stay positive with the fact that I can drink at my work Xmas party this Saturday 🥂😅
I'll be hopping over to the January thread..
good luck everybody else x

Sconehenge · 13/12/2023 18:36

@Karinx eek so exciting!! I can see a faint line on the pink one.

Karinx · 13/12/2023 18:00

I am in utter disbelief. I've just done a test and there's a line 😳 it's super faint but I'm only 9DPO so I wouldn't expect it to be dark. I was convinced it was going to be negative but I've been feeling so off I decided to test!

I tried on a digital but it came back negative as it's too early I guess! I can't believe it! I really hope it sticks!!

Hard to see on pictures but will post anyway

@LuceNumberTwo going to try my hardest to wait till Sunday which will be 11dpo as think it should be decently accurate by then

LuceNumberTwo · 13/12/2023 17:03

@Saffie920 You are super patient.. I'd have tested since 6dpo by now 😆😆🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I only hurt my own feelings 🤷‍♀️
When do you plan to test x

Saffie920 · 13/12/2023 17:01

Hey @LuceNumberTwo glad to hear you've been referred! That's great news 😊

No update here, 7DPO and no symptoms or really anything unusual to report. Just v impatiently waiting!

LuceNumberTwo · 13/12/2023 16:58

Hey guys!
Just catching up! How are you all?

@H938 Sorry to hear BFN so far 😑😞 if AF does come, join me for Jan ❤️ but still you aren't out until she comes!
My AF is playing the biggest mind games.. like literally spotted all day yesterday, slightly heavier today when I wipe, not really going onto a pad. But it's changed to a darker red so I'm thinking full force will eventually happen tomorrow 🤦‍♀️😆 of course when I'm going out Saturday 🙄
Buying ovulation stuff on Friday see if I can keep a better eye on it.. Also have finally been referred, got my folic acid so on! I'm so happy finally something is happening! Hoping they can get to the bottom of it🤞🤞
Good luck to anyone else testing! 🥰

Cloclo93 · 13/12/2023 13:17
