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

@PolkaDotDot hopefully its just too early to pick up!!

I feel like i have things going on but I dont want to get my hopes up incase its nothing. Im due to come on Sunday but I read if you ovulate late then AF will be late so im not 100% sure now. Im meant to be going out tomorrow and thinking should I not drink so much just incase. Im only 6/7dpo so it wouldnt even show. X

Congrats on the BFPs ladies! How lovely! ❤️

About 8dpo today. I tested yesterday and was obviously a BFN but it really upset me. Trying to hold out until at least 10dpo (which is when I got my positive test with my daughter) but ordered some cheapies anyway off Amazon in the meantime because no doubt I won’t have the willpower 🤣

Saffie920 · 08/12/2023 07:20

Looks positive to me @Mummy2823 ! Congrats! Hope all goes smoothly for you 😊

RWSS · 07/12/2023 19:26

Thanks guys ❤️
Congrats on the bfp!

Mama09876 · 07/12/2023 18:48

Loving the BFPs already! I can defo see a line @Mummy2823 congrats!
hoping it’s going to be a good month of positives 🤞🏻

im absolutely full of cold this week! Been horrendous, that plus my period arriving just not been great! Hoping I feel much better by next weekend when due to ovulate 🙏🏻 anyone else coming up to the fertile week? My app says ovulation 17th so I’ll start taking OPK probs from 14th? I always start early with them as I’m scared I’ll miss the peak 😂

RadDarwazeh · 07/12/2023 17:30

Congrats to the bfps! How exciting! I haven't done any ovulation tests yet but I feel I should. I stopped my pill 22nd November but haven't had any sign of a period yet except for some dull cramping yesterday. Hopefully this means something?! When I stopped my pill on having my first a few years ago the period came pretty much immediately. Weird!

There's an awful cold/cough going round at the moment ugh!

Mummy2823 · 07/12/2023 17:23

@123456789ss yes this was from home bargains! "Clear & simple" I thought I'd had this brand last time but just got my old one from my DD out and the test is a bit different.
Fingers crossed it's a positive 🥰 I'll take another tomorrow just incase! 🤞🏼

Mummy2823 · 07/12/2023 13:25

Was due on today so took an early detection test and think it's positive but the line isn't central in the square. Does this still mean positive?

I got some similar ones to these from Home Bargains and thought it was odd the line was off centre. But was still a BFP
Congrats !!

@pontipinemum Amazing!! Our fist group BFP I think? 🎁 Perfect little present for Christmas. I hope the good luck continues for the rest of us haha!!

Sorry @RWSS may see you in the 2024 group!! sending love. X

@LuceNumberTwo Hope everything is okay!! Are you thinking this may be the month for you? I feel completely normal and also now back to 5dpo 🤦🏻‍♀️ assuming I didnt ovulate the first time. Leaves me with about a 9/10 day luteal phase which Ive heard isnt even enough time! Im not sure if its always been that way for me

@Saffie920 I would say today is 1dpo - lets hope the next 11 days go quickly for you!! X

Saffie920 · 07/12/2023 09:15

Wooooo! @pontipinemum

pontipinemum · 07/12/2023 08:31

@SlinkMcSlink I had a chemical last month too. I ended up having late ovulation. I had my BFP that I fully believe this morning 😁

Sorry to hear that @RWSS - take care of yourself and make sure you treat yourself lots today (chocolate, maybe a glass of wine?!) xx

Saffie920 · 07/12/2023 08:22

Congrats to the BFPs! 🎉 sorry to hear you've been having a tough time @LuceNumberTwo - I know what you mean, TTC can really feel all consuming. I hope you and your family are doing okay.

I had peak opk tests yesterday (one at 6am and one at about 5pm - they were 1.1 and 1.2). And then around 9/10pm last night I think I felt ovulation pains (hard to be sure). So we managed to DTD once more this morning (in a bit of a rush!) - do you think I should count today as ovulation day or 1DPO?

I'm going to try my hardest not to test until 12DPO at the earliest. In previous months I've found the negative tests have made me so upset and so I'd rather be nearer to my period before having any disappointment. Just think it is better for me personally x

LuceNumberTwo · 07/12/2023 08:01

Wow! Congratulations to you all with BFPs already 💖 hoping for sticky beans 🤞
Anyone else testing yet? I'm 6/7dpo... & actually I have stopped myself so far 🤣🤣 I'm not sure I'll hold off until my period is due, but I'm trying! Had alot going on the past few days so just catching up
Feeling a bit crap still but an incident within my family yesterday really put in perspective how you can't take anything for granted.. 💔
Hoping everyone's doing OK ❤️

RWSS · 06/12/2023 22:41

I'm out for this month, due on the 10 but all day have been feeling like I'm starting and now have had bit of blood. My cp in Oct has really messed my cycle up 😩

PolkaDotDot · 06/12/2023 19:38

Congrats to the BFPs!! 🥳

On the subject of colds etc, I remember distinctly having a cold in the 2ww when I conceived my first. Think there's def something about the lowered immune system!

About 6dpo here and trying desperately not to symptom spot. I had some crazily vivid dreams last night and that was a symptom I had before I got my BFP with DD so really hoping it's a good sign!🤞

SlinkMcSlink · 06/12/2023 18:17

Does anyone know about ovulation after a chemical period? I had a chemical last month- see past threads under my name. Anyway, I usually ovulate around day 15 but this month it seems to be around day 11. I’m currently on day 14 so there could be a chance for another peak.

All information out there seems conflicting.
