Ho ho ho! We all want Santa to come (with loads of BFPs)! It's the December thread 🎅🌲🎁

[Squiff70]

I don't know. Not even a week into November and sadly some are out for this month.

If you're dreaming of a white Christmas and you're definitely on Santa's NAUGHTY list, this is the one for you. Not a December bus but a December SLEIGH!

So go Dasher, go Dancer, go Prancer and Vixen! We don't want you to bring us those toys. Please stuff our stockings full of BFP joy!

Thank you so much everyone. It hasn't sunk in yet but I suspect it will soon!

@jazmine38 I love what you said about different pregnancy, a different baby, a different story and a different ending. So true.

Hey @Danani! Thank you! How's your pregnancy going? Have you had any appointments yet? I'll see you over on the other board shortly.

Haha @BH1926 - you say you have a feeling it hasn't happened - that's what I said yesterday and that's also what Danani said last month and BOOM! Pregnant! So I'm keeping everything crossed for you too. Do you really think you'll hold out til AF is due? What date would that be?

@Nico89 you're so sweet. I try to be kind and helpful like life has been hectic lately and I don't always get to reply to every post individually. Kindness goes a long way.

Massive congratulations to you @beckybabyx - that's two of us on the same day. Truth be told I suspected you were about you get your BFP from something you said a day or two ago. Our cycles were in sync I think too. I'm 10DPO today also and thought it was too early to show on an easy@home test. What made you decide to test when you did? Like you I needed it confirming on a FRER after and had to wait 5 hours til I needed another wee. I'm dehydrated from being ill all weekend but obv making a lot more effort now to drink squash and water.

@Peauela those four symptoms could equally be very early pregnancy symptoms. You're not out until you're out!

Oh yeah... three not four :)

@beckybabyx and @Squiff70 such wonderful news, beyond happy for you both ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you everyone. @Squiff70 I’ve had a wave of feeling nausea this evening so I just thought I’ll do an internet cheapie and was so shocked!!! Confirmed with FRER now. Are we due the same day then? xxx

Confirmed on FRER @ 10dpo xx

Thank you @madeleine85!

@beckybabyx maybe, but the dates go off the first day of your last period. You can find out more about it by Googling 'what is my due date NHS'. I've had nausea for two days too but I assumed it was the covid vaccine I had on Friday as it made me pretty ill. My temperature has been over 39 on and off all weekend, controlled by paracetamol. If anyone reading this is thinking 'I don't want to be ill so I don't want my jab' please rethink. A couple of days of flu-like symptoms is nothing compared to what Covid can do to you. Covid is far riskier.

I need to phone my GP first thing tomorrow and ask for high dose folic acid and progesterone. I might also be given baby aspirin - don't know yet but will keep you posted.

I'm going to stay on this thread until the end of the month as I KNOW there are more BFPs to come over the next 3 weeks... but for those who've moved over to the January thread, I wish you all so much love and luck. You are such a lovely and caring group of ladies I would love for us to go through a pregnancy journey all together.

@beckybabyx congratulations!!

5dpo today. The time is dragging..

Just catching up as I've been at a wedding today...

Congratulations @Squiff70 & @beckybabyx on your BFPs 🙌🙌🙌🙌

I am 9dpo today and have had a packed weekend of interesting symptoms.. Saturday I still had backache and cramps paired with such bad nausea that I was heaving in sainsburys sushi counter because of the smell of fresh fish. Today I woke up so nauseated again and still with back ache and cramps also TMI loads and loads of CM (mixture of creamy and very stretchy) - much more than normal.

I have only had the smell sensitivity when I was pregnant with DS so let's see how long I can hold off POAS.

@Squiff70 and @beckybabyx mega congratulations to you both! Big smile on my face for you guys, wishing you a healthy happy pregnancy!!! 🤍

@beckybabyx congratulations! Fab line for 10dpo! ❤️

@Squiff70 haha well maybe it's a good sign if I 'feel out' then🤞🏻I'm going to try hold off testing. AF due 18th/19th so if doesn't arrive 19th I'll test. I'll see how that goes though 🙈 quite a busy week ahead so hoping that keeps my mind off it. Hope you get on fine with GP tomorrow xx

@AmberRH1993 you have some very interesting symptoms there! You could test from tomorrow if you want to... just saying!

I'll try first thing with a cheap strip and see what happens 😂😂

Thank you @lottieb92!

And @BH1926 you could test in the next few days if you want to also although I respect you massively too if you choose to wait it out!

@AmberRH1993 you'll have to let us know how you get on! Annnnnd thanks to you I now have a craving for sushi 😂

Oh don't - just thinking about the smell is making me quiver 😅 ill update you ladies in the morning 👍

Ov today, lots of BD 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@SurfWaves think we’re the same timing. Do you know when you plan to test? Xmas sitting right in the middle of that timing is so hard! I think if my pattern holds my af will be due 23/24th dec as have an 11 day luteal so far. Part of me is like screw it I’ll have wine over the holidays, it’s unlikely this one will take, and I’ll do dry January. The joys of TTC 😂

Tested this morning 9/10 dpo... Don't think I can see anything on this cheapie 🤔

Everything crossed for you @Squiff70, I’d definitely be optimistic about that! Let us know how your FRER goes!

I’m still the same, tested again but BFN as predicted, still no AF. 3 days late now, usually like clockwork. She just needs to hurry up so we can start over for TYC in Jan!

*TTC

Now it's dry, I think I can see a very very faint line outside the time frame but most probably have line eyes at this stage 😅 let me know if you see anything ladies...

I'll hold off testing a few days to see if anything changes.

Best of luck to you @SurfWaves! Enjoy your BD!

@AmberRH1993 maybe, but it's a real quinter at the moment! Try again on Weds if you can hold out that long - it's still very early days.

@KateInHappyland So sorry about your BFN! Are you sure about your dates? Could be your body messing around with you. If AF is coming I hope she hurries up so you can move on.

I did a FRER yesterday and posted the pic :) I'll do another one tomorrow as HCG doubles every 48 hours. I did an IC this morning but it's exactly the same as yesterday's so no change anyway yet. I just called my GP and they will call me at some point this morning.

*squinter, not quinter!

@Squiff70

*squinter, not quinter!

Thanks @Squiff70 I'll hold off and maybe grab a frer to try Wednesday morning. How are you feeling?
