Praying for a December conception

[Leah2501]

Who else is praying to conceive this month?
I’m on CD 1 so I’m praying I conceive this month. Had copper coil removed just over a month ago now, and we avoided conceiving last month as hubby didn’t want an August baby (he’s an aug bub himself)
I’ve always been regular with my cycle and regular with ovulation (continued tracking while on coil) so hoping we get lucky 🤞🏼

@yellowmelon Oh my god! Congratulations! How many DPO are you? Did you have any symptoms per BPF?

@Rumples when you had the period pains were they constant or did they come and go? Had them so intense yesterday got home from work and just laid on the sofa. Haven’t been there at all this morning but restarted this afternoon

Been away for a few days so just playing catch up with everyone's journeys
@yellowmelon Congratulations!!!
I'm now 16dpo usually POAS like a woman possessed, now I'm nervous. Got BFN at 12dpo and woke up with cramps from hell. Going to test tmora if the red witch doesn't show up today

@arc91 How are you? I couldn't see any updates, hope you're alright

Does anyone know if this is normal, been having these results on an opk for the past 2/3 days

I did it 5 minutes ago

My opk app is telling me it is positive as it's the same colour as the control line now as I waited for the time to be up

@Leah2501 a fair few days on and off. At night it would wake me up and I'd have to take painkillers to be able to get back to sleep. Fingers crossed for you it's the same outcome!

Just got my BFP!!! Dilemma do I tell OH now or wait till Christmas Day?

Wooohooo dob!! God, I couldn’t keep it to myself that long

@Essentialhummus I can't my 2 older children are at their Dads tmora so ill tell him then just the 2 of us

@DOB78 congratulations 🎉

@DOB78 Congratulations! I definitely wouldn’t wait, how many DPO are you?

My cramping has started up again tonight, I’m 8DPO and just trying to ignore it best I can, but tonight it’s been bad enough I’ve had to take paracetamol.

@rumples Thank you!!
@Leah2501 Thanks 16 dpo thought af was coming real bad cramps today. Could you be having implantation pains?

@DOB78 congratulations to you!! Lovely news 🥰 you must be so excited!

AF came for me today, after a few emotions days! Had faint BFP on 4 early tests this week (2 different brands) but BFN on non early tests. Must either still be picking up low levels HCG from my mc or was a chemical this time. Trying to accept it now for Xmas, ovulating next at start of Jan around my 30th birthday so really hoping that’s my time.

@arc91 I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope I haven't caused further upset.
Thank you and I sincerely hope you get your BFP soon x

@DOB78 no of course you haven’t!

Really happy to hear your news, keeps the positivity up!! How are you feeling? x

@DOB78 massive congrats to you! Thrilled to see your news.

@arc91 sorry to hear AF showed her face. Be kind to yourself, drink lots over Christmas and hopefully January is your month.

I’m still in limbo, every test I’ve done is stark white. I’m either 12 DPO or 13 DPO and AF is due tomorrow or Tuesday. I really just don’t feel myself though, I’m going from being starving as in bite your hand off hungry to not having an appetite. My boobs are killing me really swollen and dark nipples, hubby says they look angry 😂 I’ve had a heaviness and cramping in my lower abdomen for a few days with today being a bit worse (feels like AF might be on the way). I thought when I wiped earlier there was the tiniest speck of pink on the tissue, I’ve never spotted in my life, I am so warm all of the time and finally I am an emotional mess crying at the TV and cried my eyes out today when I smashed the screen of my phone (which is a work phone that i don’t even pay to have fixed). I’m just not sure what’s going on!

Anyone else due to test this week?

@DOB78 I have done some Googling this evening, apparently PMS cramping is similar to implantation cramping, as I’m 8DPO that is a possibility. Don’t want to get my hopes up though, it just feels so like PMS cramping. I never had this with first child, probably why I don’t feel it’s related.

@arc91 sorry to hear AF arrived. Hope you’re okay, like others have said it’s a good reason to have alcohol over the next week!

@Twittwoo2020 I’m currently 8DPO, might do a test Christmas Eve or Christmas morning with my husband. AF is due 27th Dec. Don’t feel like this is my month but would still like to test Christmas morning incase.

Good luck to you all, hoping to see some more Christmas BFP’s on here!! Will be keeping a look out xx

@Twittwoo2020 Thankyou.
@arc91 I'm feeling alright thanks bit nauseous but happy and nervous.
@Leah2501 Everything crossed for you

Thanks for the congrats - it's all a bit surreal! I tested at 10dpo and 12dpo (I think) and both were negative. I gave up and waited for af. As I'm bf my cycles are a bit messed up anyway so I wasn't surprised to be late. Then I started feeling a bit under the weather, lack of appetite, and sleepy... dh did say 'are you sure you're not?!' and lo and behold - I am! I am a bit concerned that I didn't get a bfp when I tested at 12dpo with an early response test - does that mean my hcg levels are on the low side?

Though I tested with a clear blue this morning at it's put me at 5 weeks

How is everyone doing? Do we still have many yet that aren’t due AF for a couple more days?
I’m due 27th. Still had cramping, tested today 10dpo and negative, not with FRER I used a one step cheapie.

Early Jan here. It’s going to be a slow bloody week here, and we don’t even celebrate Christmas .

I didn't ovulate until late so only 6dpo.

I'll be 12dpo on the 28th so going to test then if AF hasn't arrived!
