Merry Christmas ladies!

No af today but a bfn at 14dpo so this isn't our month.

I am so excited that I now have a 13 day lp now - From where I was before (9 days!) this feels like a huge step towards making a baby!

Will let you know when I open my present - is not that exciting! :)

Maths88 · 25/12/2014 10:19

Merry Christmas everyone!

Bfn today but at 8dpo it was always unlikely! Not going to test until the 30th now!

Have a great day everyone!

Cariad2014 · 25/12/2014 10:44

Merry Christmas everyone. Xmas Grin

Yay for an extended lp MrsG! Woop woop. Going form 9-13 days is such an achievement.

Cariad2014 · 25/12/2014 10:45

from not form - dear oh dear!

DastardlyDachshund · 25/12/2014 11:04

Merry Christmas ladies. Congrats on the extended lp MrsGingerbread. Sorry for the bfn maths but like you say it is really early still.Smile

Positive on the clearblue plus this morning (no frers in the house) albeit not a big fat one but a positive anyway. The line doesn't seem much darker than Monday in my opinion but it also isn't fainter than the other tests either so am happy with that for the moment. I am going to try and not test until next week now so I don't drive myself mad. Today, I am pregnant. Smile

MaMaPo · 25/12/2014 11:08

Happy merry all! Just in bed after an exhausting Christmas.

9dpo here and AF would usually be here tomorrow. No symptoms to speak of. How early can I test again, in case AF doesn't show tomorrow? I'm away but have brought some ic pregnancy tests, plus my advanced CBFM. I don't know how sensitive the pregnancy sticks for that are though. Any ideas anyone?

MrsGingerbread · 25/12/2014 11:58

Af has turned up here - just in time for me to open the wine along with my cheer up present!

I should have started a guessing game - I doubt any of you would have guessed it was a microwaveable turtle! :)

Cariad2014 · 25/12/2014 12:32

Loving the microwaveable turtle MrsG. What a fab AF present! And, no, I would never have guessed!

Delighted to hear you got another positive today Dastardly. Hang on in there.

Mumwannabe82 · 25/12/2014 14:03

Well... The bad news is I got a bfn this morning, good news is my temp is still up and less spotting today YAY!!! Next test date will be Saturday as that's when I am actually due on xx

spinningirl10 · 25/12/2014 15:19

Haha love the microwaveable turtle! I wouldn't have guessed thatGrin sorry af arrivedWine

Mum, sorry for bfn but high temp is a good sign.

We've just eaten, so full up nowSmile Dp is snoring on the sofa and ds has left the mess in the living room to play on his new Xbox game. We are all still in our pjsShockGrin but first year with just us so I think that's ok?!

DastardlyDachshund · 25/12/2014 23:17

MaMaPo I got my first faint positives at 11dpo on a FRER and a Clearblue Plus. I think that the monitor test sticks are as sensitive as the usual Clearblue tests but not sure as I only have the old one. IC's still quite faint for me today at 14dpo but starting to get clearer (especially as I tested with only a 2.5hr hold) so I am not sure how helpful they will be for you tbh.

Loving the turtle MrsGingerbread. I know you've gone to the January bus now so hoping your new present brings you luck for 2015.

Thanks Cariad2014. I must admit I feel guilty at staying here as it feels like I am rubbing salt in the wound with my test line issues. I am kind of homeless at the moment as there is no-one else on the ante-natal threads due in September atm (and don't want to crash the August thread). And also hanging around to see what happens to the rest of you lovely ladies.

So sorry for your BFN Mumwannabe82. FX your temp stays nice and high tomorrow and you get a better result on Saturday. But if not, best of luck to you for 2015.

Hanging around the house in PJ's is definitely allowed spinningirl10. Wish someone had convinced one of my neighbours to do that rather than set off professional grade fireworks at gone 10pm Angry. Sounded like a bloody bomb had gone off.

Cariad2014 · 25/12/2014 23:34

Dastardly - you're welcome to stay here as long as you like. Here's hoping we'll all be coming to join you on the September AN thread before January is out!

Mumwannabe82 · 26/12/2014 07:17

Morning ladies,

Mrs G I love the turtle Smile

Dastardly, so glad you are still getting your bfps XXX

Well yesterday my temp stayed high (it did drop but still a good 0.3 above the coverline) but brown spotting, this morning, nothing on tissue when I wiped but temp dropped (only 0.1 above coverline) so I really don't know what to think now Confused

spinningirl10 · 26/12/2014 07:24

MorningGrin

Dastardly, so pleased you got another line on your other test.

Mum, fx af stays away.

11dpo here, temp went higher this morning but no symptoms so don't think it's our month. Af due on Tuesday.
I'm working today......would much rather spend the day in my pjs again Smile

Mumwannabe82 · 26/12/2014 07:56

Fx for you too spinning Smile

Frolicacid · 26/12/2014 09:30

Yay for clearer tests dastardly!

Fx for you spinning. Temp rise is good. You wouldn't necessarily have any symptoms now. I'm crossing everything for a birthday BFP for you.
I also think that pj's are perfectly acceptable all day on christmas day. We always do that if we don't have guests. My parents came for dinner yesterday and we have the in-law's today. I'm desperate for a pj day!

I hope everyone else had a wonderful day yesterday.

Nadolig Llawen my fellow Welshie!

Waves back at Frolic -Nadolig Llawen. Hope you're feeling ok.

I've also just read through the BFP list and it looks as though I totally missed MaGrat's BFP - when did that happen my lovely? I am so so pleased for you. Xmas Grin Flowers Here's to a very happy and healthy nine months.

MaGratgarlik1983 · 26/12/2014 10:56

Thank you Cariad! You didn't miss it, I was keeping it quiet after the CP last time! Am almost 7 weeks and told our families yesterday but still feeling quite anxious about everything!

toothachereturns · 26/12/2014 11:04

Congrats MaGrat! Smile

Cariad2014 · 26/12/2014 11:12

Huge congratulations MaG. I think it's only natural to feel anxious after an early loss first time around. What a wonderful early Christmas present Xmas Smile

MaMaPo · 26/12/2014 11:21

Oh magrat, that's wonderful news. Congratulations! And thanks for the stats.

Af was due today. No sign yet. Hmm.
