Aw thank you for the positivity 🙂 @loumsc

@Poppins2016 exactly! Even if it's negative we're still in with a chance 🙂
It would be such a lovely day to give the gift of a two, pink lined stick of my pee to my fiancee though 😂x

Tootiredtosleep1 · 23/12/2020 08:28

@loumsc and a massive congratulations!!! How exciting 🙂

Emmgrem · 23/12/2020 08:35

@Poppins2016 @Tootiredtosleep1 I'm doing the same as you guys! You're making me feel better about testing Xmas day. Keep having a panic that it'll be negative and then positive a few days later - but like you said, that doesn't matter!
My other panic is that the line will be such a squinter that I won't know whether to wrap it up for him incase it's a chemical or a false positive or not certain?! And I'll be on here Xmas morning frantically messaging to get opinions 🙈
Are you using digitals after the FRER?

Digitals are less sensitive so I wouldn't bother this early on. I used a digital first time round (I have a toddler) in order to "confirm" my pregnancy but it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know and I'm not intending to buy one ever again! A line is a line, is a line... Grin

KerryW87 · 23/12/2020 15:28

I'm in two minds! After such a horrendous year and our loss it would be amazing to get a BFP Christmas Day...but I'll be 11 DPO so I'm terrified because if it's negative I know I'm very likely out if it's still blank by then and then I've wrecked my own Christmas haha 🙈 so not sure whether I can hold out until Boxing Day which I don't mind ruining as much 😂 TTC really does make you crazy, haha xx

Annannanna · 23/12/2020 15:39

Omg omg, I thought I was out as I was spotting 2 days ago but still no AF so I did a test just to make sure as I was going to drink tonight, totally expected a bfn but there is a pink line!!!

@Annannanna OMG!!! Congratulations!! So good that you tested, you must of just had a feeling Grin sooo happy for you!

Annannanna · 23/12/2020 16:30

Thank you! I’m a bit worried it may be a chemical pregnancy as I spotted 2 days ago and still have a tiny bit of pink, spotting just now.

OP posts:
CarlyAM · 23/12/2020 16:51

@Annannanna could that not be implantation bleeding? I’ve had a similar thing the last couple of days, but a tiny smidge once a day.

Annannanna · 23/12/2020 17:07

I really hope so. I had 4 days of continuous spotting for my last chemical pregnancy. This time just one day of spotting and a tiny bit today.
My bbt is a bit low, not below the Cover line though but lower than last week which worries me a bit too. I will test again in the morning with fmu to see if it’s any darker.

Hi ladies,

My AF is due December 29th so will be taking FRER on Christmas day. Hoping for that BFP! Ttc our first child, and finding out on Christmas day would be a miracle!

Sending baby dust 💫💫

Tootiredtosleep1 · 23/12/2020 19:07

@Emmgrem I'm going to be 9 or 10 dpo on Christmas day so I think it may be too early for a digital test.
I'll stick to the cheap ones until.. or IF.. I see something there. Then I'll use my frer :) x

Tootiredtosleep1 · 23/12/2020 19:09

@FirstTimeTryer93 we're due AF on the same day and we're testing on the same day! Sending you lots of luck and baby dust. We're all in this boat togethe! :) x

FirstTimeTryer93 · 23/12/2020 19:19

Good luck darling! Hope we both get our BFPs 😍 xx

Emmgrem · 23/12/2020 19:28

@FirstTimeTryer93 me too! There's a few of us now testing Xmas morning!!
I've bought my DH a baby grow just incase.
Are you using a digital if you get a line on a FRER?

FirstTimeTryer93 · 23/12/2020 19:44

@Emmgrem haha I have also bought a baby grow for my partner if we get lucky this month 😂 how funny!

I have never used a digital but I am so tempted to pick one up tomorrow just incase!! What test will you be using love? X

SidetrackedBear · 23/12/2020 21:03

Hi ladies! I've been lurking on practically every forum on the net for weeks 😅 finally decided I need to talk to someone! AF is due Christmas day and I'm going crazy.
Little back story, I have 3 boys (12 year old and 6 year old twins). Husband had a vasectomy after the twins were born and a couple years ago we began to deeply regret it. He never went back to the Dr to verify it was successful so I've had a few times throughout the years thinking (praying) I was pregnant. Now this month we dtd... Like, a lot lol. Way more than we normally get the chance to. And everyday the week of ovulation. About 3 dpo I got a uti. OK no big except the only times I've had them were when I was pregnant. Probably just the amount of dtd we'd done, right? Then 4-6 dpo serious brain fog. I put the lettuce away in the freezer, constantly jumbled my words or just couldn't think of what I was trying say. I even messed up the ABC song at kids bedtime, which they found hilarious. My boobs are so sensitive since 4 dpo and usually it's just a couple days then done when pms. Now I'm 12 dpo and have some very mild lower back pain. Now, I understand the statistical odds are against me, and perhaps I just want it so bad. Either way, I'll let you all know. Thanks for letting me get all that off my chest!

justwanttobemum · 23/12/2020 22:42

Well couldn't wait any longer to test as I really didn't want to get really down on Xmas day if it was bfn which I have suspected it would be. So tested today and bfn so I'm out 🙁 heartbroken, I've spent hours daydreaming about finding out at Xmas, and rushing out to buy a baby grow to surprise OH. Guess I won't get to do that now. But hope lots of you get BFPs and get to

Finalbaby3 · 23/12/2020 23:43

Just caught up, hi to all the newbies! @Annannanna omg fingers crossed for a darker positive in the morning and congratulations!! I'm due on tomorrow, been crampy for a few days and just feel like I should be on, on tenterhooks every time I go to the toilet! Also keep getting bad stomach cramps on a night (poo cramps without the poo tmi sorry 😐) been having dream after dream about pregnancy tests and babies every single night. If AF of a no show I think I'm still going to wait a couple of days to test I just don't think I can face the reality of a bfn just yet lol

Halli2020 · 24/12/2020 07:24

I had a miscarriage... Hcg levels went down got blood tests. 2 losses in two months 😭

IndigoJam · 24/12/2020 07:55

Did a frer today and was negative. Period should arrive tomorrow as scheduled

biiirdy85 · 24/12/2020 08:11

Happy Christmas Eve ladies!
I’ve been really restrained in TWW and tried not to do too much symptom spotting, although is it even possible?! I haven’t tested until 14DPO this morning (due AF today) with an FRER. I’ve got a squinter but there enough that both me and my DP and I can both see. Very cautiously / nervously excited, but as this TTC #1 Not sure what to do now. Going to SIL’s tomorrow for Xmas day, Would you all test again today, or hold off for a few days? Not sure how I’m going to get away with not drinking until we’re sure either. Any advice would be very much welcome. X

Ravensfan1585 · 24/12/2020 09:07

Ravensfan1585 · 24/12/2020 09:14

Emmgrem · 24/12/2020 09:16

@biiirdy85 upload your squinter so we can see? That's really restrained! But annoying that it's still a squinter after that long!
