Good Luck to you all. i got my BFP on Christmas day a few years ago. I got a faint one on the Christmas eve but with so many false posotives (bloody e bay tests) i needed to be sure so i got up at about 4 am Christmas day and it was lovely bright blue in seconds so new it was true. My Ds is now 2. Take Care xx

girlwithacurl · 17/12/2008 09:38

Whoohoo 2manychips hope this starts a craze

olivo · 17/12/2008 09:37

OMG - congratulations toomanychips!
I am so pleased for you.
just off to dig out my lionel ritchie cd

2manychips · 17/12/2008 09:31

Hey girls,there's still hope if you're feeling premenstrual. I've been so certain af was coming that I stopped taking my folic acid. Well when dh went to work this a.m at 5, I found myself sleepily wee-ing on a stick due to more dizzy spells and well... a faint but definite BFP!!!!! Trying not to get too excitable as I had a cp a few cycles back but looks like I could be having an alcohol-free christmas! hope we get some more v soon. Knew the Lionel Ritchie moment was telling me something!

olivo · 17/12/2008 08:35

BFN for me this morning . feeling sorry for myself. and fertiltly friend doesnt help ,giving me 88 points for my symptoms! grrrr...

StealthPolarBear · 16/12/2008 20:25

Hi everyone
Sorry so many think AF is on the way - in the same way you can obsess with symptoms thinking you are pg, don't you think you can go the other way? I know last time I was convinced I'd be disappointed again and I wasn't.
Anyway, given the length of my so called cycle I'll still be around in January either way

tinselandglittercoveredwincies · 16/12/2008 19:24

Sorry to hear you're feeling pants smiley, I gave up with the OPKs in the end as they never picked up my ov, even thought I was (and getting up the duff). Grrrr on your behalf .

Any news sunnydale, hope you enjoyed your lunch either way .

Also very windy at this end and combined with peeing for my country and feeling a big bleurghhh, I'm begin to obsessively symptom spot . I'm only about 8DPO, so I know that it's all in my mind. Slap me someone please!

LadyMetroland · 16/12/2008 17:39

Obviously, I should add that I hope I WON'T see you on next month's 2ww thread! Hopefully you're all going to get festive BFPs!

LadyMetroland · 16/12/2008 17:36

Hi all - haven't been on here for a few days mainly because I'm pretty sure AF is on her way. Have got the classic tender boobs and the occasional cramp, combined with slightly lower temp yesterday and today, and a smidgen of spotting. So am 95% certain period will arrive tonight or tomorrow morning. Of course, there's still 5% of me that's hoping MAYBE these are all pregnancy symptoms... but I know I'm just kidding myself. Have had to stop myself testing today because I know it's just a waste of money.

Oh well, at least it means I can happily drink myself silly over Christmas. But it's slightly gutting - even though this is only our first month of 'properly' ttc - I'd always naively hoped I'd get up the duff on the first go. It's obviously more difficult than it seems!

Maybe I'll see some of you on next month's 2ww?!

girlwithacurl · 16/12/2008 12:37

Glad is wasn't just me!

I really want to test on Sat if AF doesn't get me first, due thurs, no symptoms either way as yet so I guess I might be late this month, which would really mess with my head!

Welcome beanieb and aideesmum we might not be able to drink, but we can still have a good time!

beanieb · 16/12/2008 11:27

My period will be due around the 29th so can I join?

aideesmum · 16/12/2008 10:01

Hi all,

Thought I'd add my name to this. Due to test Monday 22nd Dec but may hold off for a few days if I can

Although I have been feeling sick since yesterday morning, bit early though, maybe I'm willing myself to be preggers and this is all in my head!

smileycat · 16/12/2008 09:42

LJ29 I must admit I did do one this morning but the other 2 were in the afternoon. I thought I would do one this morn then another one tonight & then a final one tomorrow afternoon just to make sure
Last month I did a morning one as I wasn't able to do it that evening & it was +ive, so can happen but know what you mean it supose to be later on in the day

LJ29 · 16/12/2008 09:22

Smiley, are you using first morning urine for your OPKs? I'm sure you are meant to do it in the afternoon as that is when you produce LH.

smileycat · 16/12/2008 08:29

I'm feeling sooo pi**ed off this morning, my temp was high again & OPK -ive FF has now put me down as OVing on CD9 (Friday) stupidly early. We were both so keyed up for going all out this month & bding every day leading upto OV, but now that I've OV'd early we only did it once in the fertile window. I know, I know it only takes one but I can't help feeling down today, I drank quite a lot on Fri & Sat at my Xmas parties ready to start fresh with ttcing on Sunday for the marathon wk...ahhhhrrrr mother nature really gets to me sometimes.
If FF is correct I am now DPO4 & due to test on 26th Dec but I wont update my dates until tomorrow to make sure temp is still up & final OPK is -ive

Sunnydale · 15/12/2008 21:27

Hello everyone, sorry haven't posted for a while. Just to let you know I'm gonna test first thing tomorrow morning. AF isn't due till Weds (at the earliest - still not sure of my cycle), but I've got a pack of ultra-sensitive tests which allegedly detect HCG levels up to 7 days after conception. This is not - repeat NOT - any cause for excitement, as I am 99% sure I'm not PG, what with having absolutely no symptoms at all. The only reason I'm testing tomorrow is coz I have a boozy lunch (my one boozy lunch of the year, other than maybe my birthday) and I want to be sure whether it's safe to drink at all. I don't really mind not drinking, only I can't bear the speculation that it means I'm PG, so it seems easier to join in, esp if there's no reason not to. Am not excited about testing at all - more dreading it, since it will bring confirmation that I'm not PG. At least at the moment I have my faint, faint hopes! Silly me. Good luck to everyone else testing soon (raises mince pie and glass of grapefruit juice aloft)
