@CardioQueen just so you know where we are

Here we go ladies! The last thread was a lucky one so let's keep up the success on this one!

Ahhh @Emmgrem that will be a lovely way of telling your DH ☺️ I didn't test until 12dpo, and I'm quite glad I held out until then because the line was strong by then.
My last cycle I tested 2dpo 😂😂 😂

Ohhh @AMS19 I'm still waking up early too, I was 4.30am yesterday. I managed to sleep till 7am this morning which was amazing! Only my cat is happy that I'm awake so early 🤣

Zero judgement over here as well @DrS44 I totally understand how you feel. Hope your DP manages to get over in time 🤞🏻

@Emmgrem yeah third cycle since coming off pill but first cycle after first proper AF so I’m counting as third but most will probably think first cycle 🤣 I think I’ll test on Xmas morning too! At 11dpo. Was going to do it Xmas Eve at 10 but like you say it can be hit and Miss. if it’s a BFN at 11dpo going to wait for AF and if a no show I’ll test again. Haven’t got any digitals yet I try keep as little tests in the house as possible as I’m a testing psycho 🤣 if I got a positive FRER I’d nip out and get one to use in a couple days after BFP on FRER

I was going to do that for OH but going to leave it until it happens as I had jinxing stuff lol I’ll sneak out and get something to give to him if I can manage to not blurt it out in front of him straight away 😬

Some more symptoms that have arisen today is a dry tickley throat which I can’t clear with water/coughing is so annoying. But other than that I’ve had no more mild cramps like this morning and feel generally fine

Just a quick update, nothing this morning but went to the loo there and wiped and there was red blood! Nothing again but I'm almost certain it's AF. 💔 gonna have to have a think about how to move forward. These 7/8/9 days luteal phase cannot be good x

Best of luck to everyone sending you all the baby dust 🌟☘️ xxx

@Emmgrem Funny you should say that. A few days before I got my BFP I was looking at my nipples thinking they looked different and thought they were sticking out more🤣

Deffo keep your digitals for a few days after you get your positive. They can take a while to show up on there! And they expensive lol!

@Dex1521 Mine was my second month technically but classed it as my first month as it was my first month since having a proper period! Xx

Wish I could just go to sleep and wake up and be 12DPO so I could test 🤣 I’ve been teaching myself to crochet this morning which wasn’t too successful and my OH bought me one of those nintendo light switch and animal crossing and I can confirm I am addicted 😂 he was so sweet he has been thinking of ways to keep me distracted and thought he’d treat me to something different ❤️
I’m off work now until 4th January and after doing the deep clean of the house I was going to do Xmas Eve boredom has kicked in

@Emmgrem I'm in two minds about it now as I'm in tier 4 so technically shouldn't see my family but I'm also lucky that I do COVID tests twice a week for work now anyway so I can be fairly confident I don't have COVID if I did see them. Currently undecided so the announcement is tbc for now! My nipples have been permanently alive since getting my BFP btw. I've never been this aware of them before! Water from the shower hit a nipple the other day and I screamed because it was so painful 😂

@Dex1521 good idea to keep busy! I'm on leave now until jan too but my OH is still working so I've been holed up in bedroom making my way through Schitts creek on Netflix.

@DrS44 oh no! I'd still like to say I'm hopeful it isn't AF as implantation bleeding can sometimes last a couple of days but you of course know your body best. That's really frustrating about your LP, I've seen people take something called Agnus Castus I think it's called and that's supposed to lengthen it might be worth looking into?

@AMS19 am I right in thinking your scan was/is today? Please do let us know how it went!

Another symptom update because why not 🤣 everytime I get up off a seat or do something I get a short stabbing pain on my left side in my uterus area. Where my kicker elastic would sit like in between my thigh and where normal cramps would be (sorry for the long winded explanation). I’m laid in the bath and just sneezed and it was so painful for a few seconds then went again. Did any of the ladies with BFPs ever experience anything like this? Could that be an implantation cramp because it’s on one side? Also maybe I’m thinking about this too much 😂

@positivitytree2020 I know what you mean. I got bored of POAS and trying to hold my wee everyday 😂 And oh yes that's right I remember you saying about your sisters wedding 😬 have you already got the bridesmaids dresses? We have a wedding in Jamaica that got postponed to next Sept so that would be the downside of getting pg this month.

@PowerOfFlowers if Xmas day was 12dpo that would be ideal but I don't think I could wait another day and not know whether I can drink!

@Dex1521 my testing plan is exactly the same as yours then 👏 I know what you mean about jinxing but I'm telling myself that I'll use the baby grow present idea whatever month it happens.
Oh wow I just looked up Nintendo switches -they are expensive! Was that an early Xmas pressie? You're a lucky girl! I've heard so much about animal crossing but no idea what it is and I get addicted to games quite easily 😂
I have no symptoms today other than the nipples. All my stabbing cramps etc seemed to happen just after ovulation 🤷🏻‍♀️

@DrS44 Hoping AF doesn't come in full force 🤞 there are things you can do to lengthen your LP though, it seems like a really common problem post pill

@Bells20 Oh that's a hard one- I can understand your dilemma! I guess it depends how comfortable your family are with it. At least the tests are peace of mind.
So glad to hear you had the nipple symptom too, however don't think I could cope with it carrying on haha 😆 sooo painful! Had to keep my bra on when we DTD yesterday 😳

@Bells20 Mine are exactly like that too!! Having a nipple piercing one of them makes it extra sensitive too ouch ouch!

@AMS19 - hope your scan went well today! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Dex1521 that's so cool - I'd love to start crochet! Your DH sounds lovely ☺️ As for your symptom update - I didn't get this. My only symptoms were very sore boobs and bbt going up! And because I normally get very bad pmt in the lead up to AF, I was surprised by the lack of PMT symptoms.

@Dex1521 ha I’m getting an Nintendo switch but for Christmas off my partner. Felt like I was too old for it but then he sits and plays on fifa on his Xbox so thought why not 😂😂

My nipples and sore boobs were my main symptom. So sore! X

@Emmgrem yeah that’s a good idea actually! If I see a cute “daddy” onesie I’ll get it and tell myself that too lol. I don’t think it was as we’ve put our presents under the tree for each other but it isn’t brand new he bought it off a mate at work for £50 who’s kid barely used it game and all 😂 couldn’t tell it’s second hand it’s in great condition. Animal crossing it’s like a wee avatar and you own An island and have to run around fixing it up and making new wee friends and get them to move there lol nothing too exciting but so addictive

@PowerOfFlowers I’ve been getting a tension headache always around 5pm the last few nights and now this stabbing pain when I move or sneeze. I googled the pain and it said it’s round ligament pain but I doubt I’d get that until 6+ weeks into a pregnancy. Haven’t had it the past two cycles so let’s hope I’ve also had 0 AF style cramps which I always get

@jessi60 literally all I listen too is guns shooting or football screaming 🤣 glad I’ve got my own wee thing now. I bought him an Xbox last year as he hadn’t played one since he was a teenager and he loves it again.

My boobs were sore the last two cycles too but not this one. If anything I don’t feel pregnant this cycle but the last two I did lol

Girls...bad news. Miscarriage for me ☹

For anyone interested I'm going to post something on Premom Facebook group now. I'll ask about extending my luteal phase to see if anyone can help. If you see it and want to message directly please feel free 💛 lots of love everyone xxxxxxxx

@AMS19 I am so saddened to read this. Heartbroken for you and sending all the prayers and thoughts to you and OH❤️ know that we will all be here when you're ready. Take care xx
