BFPs popping out from Christmas crackers and stockings - The December bus is lining up to find bfps under that tree!

[barmybunting]

A new thread to find more room for those bfps under the tree everyone!

Lh my advice would be hold the pee, pee into a pot later and assess the wee, if it's dark then dip the stock if it's really light, wait until the morning!!! Good luck

Ha ha sazzle, thank you for taking over from me last month, I had to just have some time off here and chill out a bit . Nice to see you're still on hand to update the stats as you are so good at it!!

Lucy, quick question,did you test for ov the month when your af was late after your chemical?

All it is is I had my bfp on the Saturday and started bleeding the Thursday, so technically cd 31 after I ov'd on day 15.
I ov'd exactly the same this month after I started bleeding so wondering if I should expect af around the same time?

Hi everyone, for all the lovely wishes. I feel 'better' today now that the uncertainty has been removed. DH is on a course tonight so won't be back until late tomorrow eve so will be a bit strange not being able to talk it over - I guess that what you lot are for!

Would anyone other than sazzle like to hear The Details? I must admit, whilst I was in 2ww I spent a lot of time on the earlier buses reading other peoples' stories.

Has anyone else tested today since this morning? Good luck holding it in LH!!!

Yes pleas dichoto....we love details

Wow what a load of BFP!! What a lucky must have something to do with the festive season!

And YES please to all the details!

*bus !

Hold it LH - here are virtual handcuffs and no im not into that lol!!!

Choccy - I dont opk BUT I did get symptoms of ov later than normal....around four weeks after chem started then AF two weeks later. Did you know the cycle post mc is called the wtf cycle as loads of wierd things can happen. Saying that you sound pretty regular and so I would expect AF as normal if ov was..... try not to worry x

LH....definitely hold it and poas later!!!

Feeling all festive here....bought a Christmas Tree today and ds just helped me decorate it.....will probably have to re-arrange a little bit when he's in bed later

Ok...so first month TTC (!), I am a teacher so Aug or Sept or Oct birthday would be lovely*. So this month we just thought, let's ditch the condoms and see what happens (have been off pill for 18months so had an idea of how everything was, cycle-wise).

DTD CD 6, 10, 13, 14 and 16. I don't temp or anything but I had EWCM on CD14. On CD15 I woke up in the middle of the night with a sharp stabby pain for about 10 mins on my left side, and part of me felt "ooooh!!!" and part of me felt "just trapped wind". Lower back pain on CD20 but I am quite prone to that so didn't think much of it.

Spurred on by reading on the internet about people testing early before AF due, I bought some 25m-sensitivity tests and tested on Fri 6th (11DPO) - BFN . Had a lovely busy christmassy weekend so that took my mind off things a bit (althought I still kept up to date here!). Crampy all Sunday but thought that was build up to AF, due yesterday (Mon). No AF yesterday morning, or all day (despite constant checking). Felt absolutely drained in the evening and a bit spaced out and nauseous but wasn't sure if that was just me imagining things. Mild cramping on and off but also a feeling like I'd done a load of core work/crunches low down.

Today I was officially late so tested again with FMU - feint line came up after 3 mins which settled down after 5. Have put pic of both tests on profile - don't give up early testers!!!

Sorry for the essay but as I said, DH away tonight and my catbabies aren't very talkative!

Is anyone else going to share The Details so we can all be nosey?!?!?

*Disclaimer: I know you can't plan stuff like this but we needed a 'starting point' so thought end of academic year would be as good as any. I understand we've been very lucky and it's very early days!

Totally get you on the subtle re-arranging spinning

I love hearing everyone's stories!!
I miss P'ingOAS...

I need a wee!!!! Will try to hold it for as long as I can!

So exciting!!!!!

Congratulations to the new BFPs
Choccy your house sounds amazing, cellars are totally creepy though lol.
Good luck to all the other testers!

Ov+7 today. I've felt absolutely completely normaland convinced I'm not pregnant, until this afternoon. Suddenly by abdomen is very sore, not crampy, just sore, a lot like the pain I get a couple of days before ovulation. No other symptoms at all though. I'm telling myself it's nothing. But it couldn't actually be something, could it...? gulp

OV+10 here. Bit of pink spotting (but I always do that one week before AF) and mild cramps. AF is on her evil way

Great info Dichoto, thanks for sharing

Mssleepyhead....ooh it could be a sign....not long to wait till you can poas

Lol spinning, I tried to do our snug one with ds and I gave up. He's at nursery tomorrow morning til 1 so am hoping the big one turns up while he's out and I can get on lol.

Rose, thankfully our cellar is more of a room so am hoping it won't be too creepy

Thanks Lucy, no I didn't know about the wtf cycle ha ha! Must sit on my hands til Friday now

Anyone know if I can take anything for a cold?
I've all of a sudden got a stuffy runny nose today after having a sore throat for 4 days, feel so ugh but don't know what to take :(

Choccy I would imagine you could take paracetamol (in the normal dose) quite safely through pregnancy. And a nice hot drink. That's pretty much all there is in a Lemsip anyway!
11dpo here, if no AF by Friday then I may breah and POAS as well [oops]
Congratulations on the new BFPs, really excited by how many we've got already. Surely everyone derseve one this month?!?

Got too desperate for a wee. Did the digi (4 hours since I last wee'd and nothing to drink) and a big fat NOT pregnant.
Feeling a bit deflated, am at CD30 today (have had 35 day cycles the last couple) so think I'm out this month.

Ah well, will console myself with the idea of christmas drinky poos...sniff

Choccy-ha! I learnt from the best

Thanks for the details dichoto! We all love details on here, oh yes we do! It's lovely when a plan comes together!

LH how much longer do you think you'll be able to hold it for? I second the pee in a cup idea to test strength....oh it's very exciting!

Well I felt twinges all yesterday afternoon and some today but not as strong so assuming that's is ov pain perhaps? Any of you ladies know? I'm never sure on that.... I'm cd 14 today but no peak yet on my cbfm, just highs so far. Thinking ill get my peak in the next couple of days. FX!

Oh LH its still early! dont give up hope yet lovely. Wait a couple of days. It could still be positive.

Munday...POAS twin....on friday yes...its a date I will bring cake and a IC!!!

Choccy - paracetamol/large bar of fruit + nut!!!!

LH - rubbish about the digi. But I'm not believing it yet...they're less sensitive than the FR ones. Try to stay positive.

I'm still lurking about on this thread. The Jan bus hasn't really got going yet and I love seeing all the BFPs rolling in. Plus it's great POAS vicariously through everyone else.

I get to do some POAS myself in 5 days when I start using the OV monitor.
