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!

@AmberRH1993 if it helps this is my high readings then my peak from last cycle(last one). I thought the one in the middle was the peak but something told me to keep testing anyway and then I got the bottom one so also ovulated later than I would have expected had i stopped at the original

@Nico89

Hi *@AmberRH1993* I find the OPK sticks really hard to read! But I would say that the control line is still darker on that test... but if its the darkest you got then likely the peak? Correct me if I'm wrong ladies.

They re also only an indicator that an LH surge is occurring and don't confirm ovulation so it could have been later than you think

Yes this was the darkest I got.. Lighter the day before and day after this test - I wasn't testing twice a day so maybe missed it. If I ovulated on 4th then AF will be 23rd and if I ovulated on 12th then AF will be 28th 🤔 its all so confusing coming off contraception..

I guess I will have to use my nerves of steel not to poas for another few days and just wait for AF... It isn't over until she arrives 😂🙌

My period came today guys. So over and out on this thread!
All the best to everyone 🤍

Hi all, 12 DPO and tested negative, temps dropped yesterday so looks like I'm out. Best of luck to everyone ❤️❤️❤️

9/10DPO today and have just had some (TMI) pinky brown tinged CM. Is there any hope left...? Hoping it's not AF making an early appearance.

@OK92 I've had the same from 8DPO to this morning (10DPO) and it's now stopped. Don't usually get this and it would make AF super early for and I'm normally very regular.
When I posted to ask about it someone mentioned that they had this before a BFP!

🤞🏻 it's a good sign for us both

When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I had the same thing - brown pink tinged cm and then it went away.. BFP 2 days after that ❤️

@AmberRH1993 oh I really hope it means something! We followed the SMEP plan this month so definitely covered all bases!
I got a BFP on 11DPO with DD and that is tomorrow so hoping for the same!

Baby dust to you both ♥️

@Natalie2304 @AmberRH1993 fingers crossed! I don't recall having it before. I tested yesterday morning and BFN but hopefully it was too early. DH has hidden the tests now so I plan on waiting for AF which is due Sat!

@AmberRH1993, @OK92 and @Natalie2304 I have high hopes for you all!

@Hopingforarainbow27 so sorry AF got you :( I was really hoping this was your time, too, but I am sure early 2022 will give you your BFP!

Good luck all over the next few days. Think I’m going to have a sleepless night pre testing…..

I’ve had no symptoms, but tonight some shooting cramps that made me gasp and two large spots appeared before my eyes.

I have AF due on 20th but planning to use my FRER tomorrow. I’ll be approx 10/11 DPO - not 100% as I didn’t use my OPK this month.

I’m not feeling overly hopeful, but actually not feeling disheartened either. I’ll report back! X

@lottieb92 good luck!!! hoping for some more BFP luck for our group. Keep us updated x

@lottieb92 good luck! No news is good news and your not our until AF shows up!
I had the same pain today how strange 10/11 dpo too 👍
Keep us updated on your test - baby dust 🙌

Best of luck this morning @lottieb92!!

Cd 25 for me today and 8/9po and another bfn 😢 I know it's still early but each day feels like a million years and I'm struggling to concentrate on anything else! Trying not to lose hope yet 😬🤞🏻

I do have a bit of a dilemma though, I'm due my booster on Friday and really want to have it before Xmas with elderly parents but I've heard that it can cause an early period. If by some miracle I have conceived but it's too early for a BFP, would you risk the shot possibly causing a period before the bean could stick? I can't decide if it's scaremongering or a genuine issue!

Good luck this morning @lottieb92!! Sending lots of baby dust!!

@BabyBird20 neither my first nor second dose caused any interruption to my cycle that I was aware of. I had my booster yesterday so only time will tell but the benefits far outweigh the risks IMO.

I'm out.
Used SMEP and OPK's and had reflexology this month and still didn't work 😞 feeling very deflated today xx

You’re all so kind, thanks so much.

However sorry all, one BFN on a FRER - so not really what I wanted to share with everyone that’s been so supportive!

I know I’m not out until after the 21st and AF shows, but saving the rest of these tests until that day comes.. and with it only being 4/5 days away I’d have thought I’d have a smidge of a line.

I could have ovulated later which wouldn’t have annoyed me - but because I caught that sickness bug I sadly wasn’t DTD anywhere after the 5th!

This all leads me to think this one was a hit and a miss…

I’ll hang around to confirm either way of course and then likely jump onto the next thread, but at least I have the last weekend at work and husband bday to look forward too! ✨🤍

Good luck everyone else today!

Argh, just tested positive for covid! Anyone unsure about the booster - get it, I feel really rough and I'm fully vaxxed.

Frustratingly, I had my booster last week but must have caught covid just before it kicked in... or maybe I'd be feeling even worse without the booster.

I think I ovulated yesterday so not sure what that means for my chances this month. We DTD lots before I got sick - 2021 keeps finding new ways to suck but all will be forgiven if I end up with a BFP!

Good morning ladies, sorry to hear your news @lottieb92 @Shortmamashortcycles.
My backache and cramps have been here all week but Last night I had the worst pains in my groin and cramps all evening - hot water bottle helped but wondering if it could have been implantation pain as I am day 21 in my cycle 🤞🤞 I was also getting shooting pains in my nipples and today they are very sensitive - hopefully all good signs. Anyone else still in TWW?

@Natalie2304 I think I'm out too as spotting has increased today. No idea why AF has visited me 2 days early 😭 so drained from this TTC process!

@OK92 I'm early too! I guess it's better than being late and not knowing what's going on. See you over on the December thread lovely. Fingers crossed for next month! Xx
