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!

Welcome, @SimonSays87! So sorry for your recent loss. How are you feeling? Hope AF stays away for you and that your symtpoms are positive ones. If not then good luck for January!

Hi @Cruz86, how are you doing? Most have moved over to the January thread now. Spotting on Boxing Day might be a good thing - would it be about the right time for IB?

Oh I'll move over the new thread then! 😂 Can't imagine it would be positive this month given we only dtd once and I have no idea if I even ovulated or not! But based on cycles before the mc, yes, it would have been about 9-10dpo so could well be. Not holding out much hope though! I'm doing much better thank you, no longer crying every day but did have a little cry on Christmas Day when my husband gave me a beautiful set of rings, with one having the birth stone of what the new baby would have had! How are you doing @Squiff70? X

Squiff70 · 28/12/2021 13:41

Oh bless you @Cruz86, that's so thoughtful of him and it's perfectly okay to have a little (or big) cry too.

I'm okay thank you. 5+4 today and nearly all my smptoms have gone but lots of people due around the same time are saying the same thing. No bleeding so not overly worried at the moment. Going to ring GP tomorrow or Thursday and ask for an early scan - need to know everything is ok in there and equally, how many. I've already given birth to two sets of twins and lost three of them so obviously we need to know what we're facing ASAP. Anxiety isn't as crippling as it was a week or two ago but I still wake up at 4am every morning worrying and can't get back to sleep.

Hi all, I found out I had a missed miscarriage in Oct at 12 weeks, baby had passed away at 7 weeks. Been trying again since and this month had very bad pains on Xmas Eve and then a bit of spotting on Xmas day. Period is due today so I tested this morning and could see a very very VERY faint line but it doesn't show up in any pics 🙄 showed it to my boyfriend and he could also see a very faint line. After an hour there was a clear line but I know it's invalid after 5 mins.

Ding Dong the witch has arrived - AF showed with a vengeance this morning. After a cycle of lots of symptoms and feeling a little rubbish after the pill, I'm looking forward to next cycle to start fresh and prepared with everything I've learnt about my body this time ❤️
Congratulations to all the BFPs and good luck to those left to test this cycle 🤞🏻
Hope to see you all on the January thread?

madeleine85 · 28/12/2021 16:23

@Looking4aLine really hope that this is your raimbow baby, sending all the good luck your way.

@AmberRH1993 sorry AF finally arrived, at least you can move to the next cycle and start 2022 with a fresh slate and get that DTD on :). Good luck!! My first month off the pill after a baby was horrendous, I had every symptom, but BFN. Bodies are just crazy. So glad you know though now and can get that new try x

AmberRH1993 · 28/12/2021 16:27

Yes it definitely was insane @madeleine85 but on the plus side, AF arrived 1 day after expected on my FLO app meaning everything seems to be regulating well 🤞🏻 Opks all ordered ready for next cycle 🎉

Cruz86 · 28/12/2021 18:04

That's completely understandable @Squiff70. Have you been told before that you'll be able to have an early scan? Glad everything is okay though, albeit you've been suffering with the dreaded pregnancy insomnia! X

Squiff70 · 28/12/2021 20:36

Hi @Looking4aLine. I'm sorry for your loss. I'd have thought if you were pregnant the line wouldn't be so faint by now, but stranger things have happened!

@AmberRH1993 really sorry about AF, I had very high hopes for you too Blush. Best of luck to you in the New Year and hope to see you on the pregnancy boards when the time is right.

@Cruz86 yes, nearly two weeks ago I rang my GP in floods of tears as I wasn't coping with the possibility it could be twins again (I'm still not tbh). She said to call her back when I'm about 6 weeks and she will arrange an early scan. The dreaded pregnancy insomnia is absolutely no joke is it?! 4am every. Single. Morning.

Hi again everyone. Congrats to those who got BFP and I'm sorry to those who got visited by AF. I am still waiting on AF. 8dpo, AF due on Friday. I had a temp dip yesterday, just below the cover line, and back up today. And slightly yellow CM, feeling of tension or pulling along my abdomen. V intense crankiness .. but breasts are not very sore , and nausea is still light mostly. Who knows ... Waiting it out

Squiff70 · 29/12/2021 08:19

Best of luck to you @Btbt! Keep us posted Xmas Smile

Cruz86 · 29/12/2021 09:10

Oh @Squiff70 I'm so sorry you're feeling like that, I can't imagine how tough it is after everything. Glad they agreed to do an early scan though. It really is! And your mind just goes into overdrive too 😩

BH1926 · 29/12/2021 13:16

Congratulations @Beck3115 ❤️

Beck3115 · 29/12/2021 13:45

@BH1926 thank you!

Been lurking around this thread for a wee while... Won't test again until the 1st but got this this morning.

Feeling cautiously optimistic for the new year!

Thanks @Squiff70! Hopefully I'll wake up on the 1st to a bfp 🤞🏼

Hope you get the news you are hoping for in your early scan!

Congrats to all the ladies with bfp this month and lots of baby dust for those looking for a fresh start in the new year! Star
