Good luck putty - I'm on cycle day 27 af due in two days but desperately hoping I don't see her again for 9 months xxxxxx

IntelligentPutty · 18/12/2016 08:46

Hey hippy chick. Fingers crossed for u.

bluebell17 · 18/12/2016 09:29

Morning all. Sat here trying to resist the urge to test, again!!

OkyDoke · 18/12/2016 09:53

When are you testing Intelligent? My boobs are killing me too.

OkyDoke · 18/12/2016 09:53

Morning bluebell!

BertieBotts · 18/12/2016 11:34

I want to test too Blush Luckily (or not?!) I have absolutely no way of getting a test.

Symptom spotting is ramping up here. I even asked DH to feel my boobs Grin and he said "You're either pregnant or about to have a really big period."

Ahem. We have become slight experts on this it seems.

Lovechild2016 · 18/12/2016 13:30

You are all being very strong not testing too soon. I on the other hand have just splurged on a clear blue digital to use on xmas morning (14 dpo)Xmas Smile

ThirdThoughts · 18/12/2016 14:05

I've gifted my unused tests to my close friend who is a week late and also TTC. Given that we've both had fertility problems, it would be so awesome if she is pregnant too.

Fingers crossed for all those waiting x

Hippychic79 · 18/12/2016 14:31

I caved and tested two days prior to anticipated af ... big fat negative ... So upset right now . After years of trying not to get pregnant, how can it be so hard. That said my oh works a lot and we only dtd once in my fertile window, so I think I should give myself a break . Still gutted though.
Fx to all still waiting xxxx

Mummyme87 · 18/12/2016 14:36

So I'm on day 4 of flashing smiley faces on my CB OPK, but have ewcm since yesterday. Have dtd every night for last 3 nights 🤞🏻

OkyDoke · 18/12/2016 15:50

Ovia has my fertile week as 3rd to 9th of december so im guessing im about 12dpo? 2 days til ovia says my period is due too. If i tested now is there a chance id get a bfp at 12dpo?

Kirsty8333 · 18/12/2016 16:32

Hi Okydoke, in my previous two pregnancies I got positive tests 11/12 dpo so I would say it is possible

OkyDoke · 18/12/2016 16:44

Thanks kirsty, will see if i can hold off a bit longer!

BertieBotts · 18/12/2016 16:52

It's possible. If you can spare a test and you won't be really gutted by a negative I'd say it's worth a try! :)

Tinkerbell2319 · 18/12/2016 16:56

10dpo here but no symptoms atm so holding off a few more days just because I'm sick of looking at BFNs

FlaminFlamingo99 · 18/12/2016 17:27

Just want to say to anyone testing before AF due, please remember that some people don't get BFPs until a lot later.

I tested the day AF was due, and 2 days after that and both tests were negative. I was so down about it and convinced myself AF was just around the corner, got the normal AF cramps etc but she didn't arrive.

5 days after the last test I took another test and it was FINALLY positive - on CD42. My HCG levels were obviously too low to be picked up for a while - everyone is different.

So if you are taking pg tests at 6/10/14 dpo, and tests still saying negative, there is still a chance you could be. It's a case of waiting to see if AF arrives or not.

We all get desperate to see two lines, we know how soul destroying it is when they don't both appear, but try to be optimistic until AF actually appears Smile. Then if she appears you can drink a LOT of wine 🍷 Xmas Smile

Make sure you are in a good frame of mind before taking a test so you are prepared to deal with it if it's not positive. I totally couldn't face another BFN after the two others I initially took - hence it took me another 5 days to pluck up the courage.

Sorry just wanted to say that as I know how bad people take it when they get a BFN really early on (me included in that).

Fx for more December BFPs on the lucky bus!!

minime2016 · 18/12/2016 17:40

Excellent advice Flaming! I tested this morning at 8dpo and slightly gutted but realised its still v early days. Af due on Christmas Day so I'll either be merry due to her absence or lots of WineGrinGrin

AshAlee1989 · 18/12/2016 17:42

I got my BFP today. Hasn't sunk in yet ... my fiancé and I can't believe it! Wink

OkyDoke · 18/12/2016 18:20

Not sure if this has attached...

MrsCummings · 18/12/2016 18:21

Congratulations ash!!!

The lucky bus strikes again!

OkyDoke · 18/12/2016 18:21

No but here it is this time.

December Bus #2
IntelligentPutty · 18/12/2016 18:53

Wow. Oky. Great news. ;)
I think I ovulated around same time as you.
Got some tests today but too scared to try any yet...

IntelligentPutty · 18/12/2016 18:54

And big congrats to Ash.

OkyDoke · 18/12/2016 19:02

Husband doesnt think line is dark enough to believe. Hes clearly never read mumsnet and doesnt know that any line is a line and a line means baby. Going to test a couple more times before moving over to the next boards... Congratulations Ash!

Hippychic79 · 18/12/2016 19:04

Thanks Flaming - appreciate your advice.
I'm so gutted I can't stop crying right now - this is my 3rd or 4th cycle so I'm starting to get my head into being pregnant and when I don't see a dfp I get so down... the last few months big fat negatives have been swiftly followed by af ... but it's nice to know that until she actually arrives - I might be in with a chance.
Thanks again xxx
