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

Tested today, 6DPO occurring to my app, however I never got a positive OPK this month so no idea what happened.
First pic pregnancy test taken this morning, 2nd pic just now. What do we think? I can't tell 😂 is it a line, is it evap, is there colour 🥴

I can definitely see a faint line!🤞🏼 perhaps you ovulated earlier than your app says!
Congrats 🥳

I don't think it sounds selfish at all, that is very annoying! Sending you good luck for this cycle.

I haven't had any spotting, but I ovulated 4 days later than usual this month (day 22!) and I've no idea why (my cycles are typically 30 days). I'd still keep testing in case your ovulation has shifted back a bit like mine did!

I’ll keep testing 🤞🏻so frustrating and it sounds selfish but if I had ovulated on my normal day it would mean I would be 14dpo and af due on Christmas Eve so if it was bad news I would at least be able to have a good drink on Christmas Day!

I’m now CD 16 and have been testing with OPK sticks and have consistently been v low- 0.1-0.2 according to the Premom app- I’m now spotting? Has anyone had this before?

*edited to add I normally peak CD 14-15

Is there room for one more on this thread? Smile I'm new to MN and the lingo but here's my first attempt: TTC baby 3, 7DPO, AF predicted to arrive in 5 days. Definite sore boobs and I'm sure I felt particularly queasy in Aldi earlier. Trying to resist the urge to test too soon. Any advice on when to test? Sending luck and love to you all for this cycle.

When do you plan to test @starryx if you haven't already? 🍀🤞

Hi there!
Well I'm playing on doing it when I'm a few days late :)
Definitely got my fingers crossed that this maybe the month but I don't want to get my hopes up too much

Sorry to hear about your loss @LuceNumberTwo hope you're doing ok. How many dpo are you?

I'm only 3dpo and already driving myself mad this month. I think my expectations are high bc of having tested ov and being more sure that we Dtd at the right times. But I think it is making me get my hopes up... need to try and distract myself!

Not helped by the fact my DH is currently looking for a new job (he is an academic so lots of fixed term contracts) and he just got a job offer in Switzerland and has an interview for something in New York on Tuesday 🫠 so everything feels a bit up in the air re TTC, potential mat leave, my job, what we would do with our house... the list goes on 🤣 We know that TTC and having a family comes first though so I just have to try and keep level headed - it's hard!!

Af due today but no major symptoms. Tiredness is what I'm expecting

Whoever said about ovulating later the month after a chemical thanks very much!! I’ve continued testing and my ovulation day has shifted a couple of days later which I wouldn’t have normally kept on testing so glad someone shared that!

LuceNumberTwo · 08/12/2023 17:53

Heyyyy ladies!

Congratulations to all the BFP since I said it before 🤣🤣 hoping all is going well! ❤️
Anyone else tested?... I have 🤣🤣 yep, failed big time! I'm pretty sure they are negative, but there's always something in this light or that angle 🤣 Also I've no idea why I'm doing this to myself because I didn't think it would be possible after being away & not DTD much!
Its been a super busy week, & then we had a sad loss in extended family so its been pretty rubbish week, hey ho 2 weeks until I get a wee 2 week holiday, & I can stuff my face with fancy Christmas chocolates & baileys 🤣 how's all? X

@Mummy2823 ooooohhhh how exciting!!!

pontipinemum · 08/12/2023 13:46

@H938 sounds like a good plan :)

Mummy2823 · 08/12/2023 13:46

@pontipinemum Thankyou!
Just did a first response to make sure and definitely a line on that one 🙂

H938 · 08/12/2023 12:57

@pontipinemum I may aswell just wait for sunday and see if AF comes - I read that if you ovulate late then AF would be late but im not 100% as I dont know when I usually ovulate. I will just wait it out and not drink too much on the weekend x

pontipinemum · 08/12/2023 12:48

@Mummy2823 that's def positive :)

@PolkaDotDot you're still very early so try not to be too disappointed x

@H938 if you're 7/8 DPO tomorrow it's really unlikely anything will show up. Maybe, but unlikely one of those CB 6 day early ones?
