TWW for Christmas BFP, anyone else?

[Annannanna]

Just starting the TWW, AF due Christmas Eve. Hoping for a lovely Christmas present!
Anyone else joining me?

I also had bleeding gums when brushing my teeth last night..!

@MaryJaxx love that you bought the best, good bit of positive thinking. I'm 9dpo now, I'm determined not to test unless I get a late AF. I'm always bang on so I'll know by Friday. I'm trying not to symptom-spot but I've had cramping on n off yesterday but I think that normal for me.

@laura2093 it may be too early still, I would try a FRER, they are more sensitive, 5miu I think.

@CarlyAM how many days have you had flashing smileys?

@MaryJaxx fingers crossed, they are good signs for you!

@MaryJaxx @Annannanna
Thankyou it's refreshing to know I might just be too early! We DTD the day of my peak on CB and the day before so I'm still hopeful xxx

@MaryJaxx the flashing smileys usually mean it’s detecting an LH surge, but I peaked on Tuesday, so almost definitely ovulated on Weds (CB shows a static smiley when you’re at your peak). So no idea why I’m getting flashing now. I’m at exactly the same point at 4 DPO today, but no symptoms apart from a tad amount of pulling and aching just below my tummy early this morning. Love that you bought the baby grow! Fingers crossed this month is our month

@Annannanna since Thursday but this is my first month using CB so this could be normal for me but wouldn’t know yet.

Can I join?

I’m currently 6dpo and due af around 21st.

Ttc number 4 at age 38 🙈

Had a mc in January at 9 weeks, then a mc in March, mc in June, and my latest mc only last cycle in November.

Praying I can get one that will stick as all tests and scans show there are no issues with me or oh so likely just down to my age and my eggs not being of great quality anymore. But I only need that one good egg so keeping my 🤞🏻

@Moominmiss I had 3 misscaridges before my first, fingers crossed for you xxx

@Moominmiss all my fingers crossed for you this month! Looking forward to seeing some BFPs before Xmas 😊

I never get nausea or dizziness but when my daughter shouted on me at 3 in the morning this morning I felt like I was about to throw up and faint all at the same time. Had to go sit in the toilet for 5 minutes. I mean its too early for any symptoms but it was very strange. I'm not one for feeling/being sick ever really.

Hi everyone, hope you’re all well.
I’m 8DPO according to one app, and 5DPO according to another. No symptoms at all which is strange as I normally get heavy PMS symptoms by now. Hoping it’s a good sign but just not feeling optimistic for this month!

Just been reading up on the whole Clearblue ovulation flashing smiley after ovulation. Every thread I seem to read about people who experienced this ended up pregnant. Really trying not to read too much into it all, but can’t help raising my hopes a little...

Really positive news @CarlyAM ! I don't mind getting my hopes up as it's nice to be excited. But I'm aware I'm early in my TTC journey so it could be different after a lot of unsuccessful cycles.

@moominmiss so sorry to hear about your mcs. One of those eggs will be a good one!!

Hi everyone, could I join? I’m currently 6dpo I think and have short cycles so af due on the 18th. I’ve been feeling very tired and sick for the last few days but don’t have any tests at home so am going to try and wait Sunday if af hasn’t shown up...

*until Sunday

My first month using opk, I stopped testing after I got my peak, should I carry on testing as I can see some others are still testing?
Ovulation has been confirmed on my bbt chart too.
Feeling a bit nauseous today but really trying to not symptom spot!

@Annannanna I wouldn’t and you’re not meant to apparently. I only did because I didn’t realise we weren’t meant to! I’ve stopped now and reading too much into what comes up was driving me nuts. I’m now just going to wait until around 12 dpo to start testing.

Ok great, I’m curious but I suppose it will cause lots of googling if anything shows on the opk!
I just ordered some FRER, ready for 12dpo testing if I can hold out that long! I spent hours staring at evap lines on my last cycle so I want to try to hold out as long as possible.

5dpo for me... trouble sleeping and vivid dreams. Metallic taste this morning after breakfast and slight backache. Wish I could make time go quicky!! I've never paid as much attention to myself 🤣

@CarlyAM @Annannanna I told myself I'd wait until missed period but 12dpo is 21st and day before AF due. I have a couple of FRER and then a digital clearblue that I'm going to use if/when I have two strong lines.

Is it first baby for anyone else??

Hi everyone hope you are all doing well and staying positive, :):)
This is my first month using a proper bbt Thermometer (oral) I take my temps every day at 7am.
Fertility friend predicted ovulation to be cd11 but I honestly didn't feel a thing, only had ewcm. Cervix wasn't soft as it usually would be. I had major cramps and pelvic pain 2 nights ago which was cd14, also bad backache cd12.
Sorry this is a lot of info lol but I had another dip in temp yesterday morning. I have attached my charts. Can anyone advise me if it looks in any way normal?

@Oohlalalalala I will be testing on Sunday if I can wait that long! AF is due on 21st and I'll be 11/12 duo

@Mummy2girlz
I am quite new to temping but I think your temp usually stays high after ovulation until AF arrives but yours has dropped right down and back up again. Unless it's an implantation dip but I think that's usually a bit later on.
I would keep temping and the app might adjust your ovulation date depending on your next temps.

First baby for me too!

Want to wait for when AF is due but so impatient. Got quite sharp cramps today, so thinking AF is on her way 😢 always next month!

My first too - I have cramps but no sign of AF yet. Xxx

Cramps is a good sign of pregnancy too! I had the most horrific ones with my first, ran to the loo with my legs crossed as they'd woke me up as they were so painful and there was nothing there! I waited a week to test but it was the first symptom for me x

@Finalbaby3 ooo! Fingers crossed then. They are strange cramps to be honest. Always on one side only but switch to side to side, lower back pains too. We shall see xx
