Im waiting for af. It can vary from 31st-3rd. Trying not to get my hopes up, easily said then done. Keep telling myself that im not. But i know if af shows, i wont help but get down. Urgh

Thanks @wildflower

Hi @Ebony Don't know how you are resisting testing. I'm only 5dpo and already having to try and resist the urge.

Joining the December bus
TTC #1
Cycle 2 (but first one really trying)
CD3
AF/BFP: according to CTP Christmas Eve
I am already 3/4 TTC obsessed. I had my first ever Baby bomb today so happy for my friend but desperately want to have it happen for me too! Now worried that a BFN could ruin Xmas Confused although a BFP would make it a great Xmas Grin

Ebonyx · 29/11/2018 22:27

@sleepingstarsmommy I have no idea how I’ve done it either! Taken a bit more of a relaxed approach this month and kind of not expected anything to happen so that may have done me some good!
Oh wow @soexciting that’s ‘so exciting’ haha! I’m really hoping for a Christmas baby for you! Positive vibes ♥️👶🏻

veeboo · 30/11/2018 06:21

It was so difficult not to test this morning. I am going to test first thing tomorrow when the ovia app says to. I'll be 12dpo and I have a frer so figured it will be accurate. I do feel different this month which I think is adding to my anxiety

Whowouldhavethoughtit · 30/11/2018 07:18

@veeboo it's so hard once you have it in your head to not test. I really hope you get a positive!

I tested again this morning and it was negative with no sign of my period coming. It's so annoying just being in limbo land. I think I'm going to keep testing over the weekend and if there is no period and no positive I'll go to the drs.

veeboo · 30/11/2018 08:47

@Whowouldhavethoughtit I really understand how frustrating that is. I had a random 59 day cycle last cycle. Unfortunately if it's a one off I'm not sure the Dr will do much (if you're in thebuk) but keep tracking everything.

Kaye03 · 30/11/2018 10:07

Im 11dpo today, af normally shows up between 31st-3rd. Feel like af is coming today or tmrw😒

Kaye03 · 30/11/2018 10:38

Looks like af has come. When i wiped had bleeding. Feels like af wants to come out, cramping feeling. 😔

Ebonyx · 30/11/2018 10:56

Awww @kaye03 roll on next month! 🤞🏻💖

Peaky1 · 30/11/2018 11:02

I have a feeling my period will start today too. Mind you, that will make for a shorter cycle than I'm used to (24 or 25 days). I have never monitored my ovulation using tests before so I might do that this month to get a clearer idea.

What does everyone use? It's easy to get dazzled into buying the all singing/dancing expensive stuff but if it's the best in test then why not?

Peaky1 · 30/11/2018 11:04

@Kaye03 sorry to hear about that. I'm feeling the same today but nothing happened yet. It's defo coming though!

unicornxo · 30/11/2018 11:06

@Kaye03 roll on next month 🤗

@Peaky1 I use boots home brand. I find them really good. I tried to use clear blue once but I found it rubbish and it missed my ovulation

Kaye03 · 30/11/2018 11:16

Trying not to feel down, but cant help but feel so crappy.

veeboo · 30/11/2018 11:50

I caved and did the frer...BFN. We go again (and get to drink at xmas). Looking on the bright side.

WildFlower2018 · 30/11/2018 13:11

Big hugs Kaye

VeeBoo I refuse to believe BFN until AF rears her head. Implantation can happen as late as 12 days PO then it takes a few days for HG to build up before it shows on a test... so you never know. It very well might be a BFN but if there's a shred of hope to cling on to I'll always take it 😂 (while being realistic of course....!)

Kaye03 · 30/11/2018 15:28

Really weird, so at 10:30, when i wiped there was pink blood & tummy cramps. Since after 12:00 there hasnt been any more bleeding, tummy cramps have stopped aswell. Maybe it was just a sign that af is approaching?

WildFlower2018 · 30/11/2018 16:28

Kaye, hoping it's an implantation bleed or something not AF related for you. X

Crazydreamer · 30/11/2018 16:37

Af arrived this morning so kind of gutted 😢 but it is what it is. Good luck to everyone still waiting xx

mussie · 30/11/2018 19:48

AF arrived for me today too. Good luck everyone! I'll keep checking in to see those Christmas BFPs ☺️

mussie · 30/11/2018 19:51

Although actually, I guess I'm just hopping straight back on the bus again 😂

Here goes cycle 6! CD1. TTC#1.
AF due end of December maybe. Who knows. Hopefully won't cross over into January 🙄

PaintingOwls · 30/11/2018 20:17

Sorry to hear that mussie

But also welcome back Grin

Peaky1 · 30/11/2018 20:25

You guys still might get that BFP this month if your cycle is the right length! I’m expecting my period this weekend (still hasn’t started today) but hoping for a BFP last week in Dec Smile

mussie · 30/11/2018 20:32

Thanks @PaintingOwls , it was tough being away for nearly a whole five minutes there Grin
