@kizzy97 @Peonies94 @Tinkerbell098 @jhodd @EvelynSalt starting this from those of us that are out this month and ready to go for December!

This part is nearly as bad as the TTW - waiting for AF to be over and to be able to crack on!

By my calculations we'll all know before Christmas if the next cycle has been a success for us - so hopefully either way happiness or sadness there will be lots of opportunities for lovely family time x

Congratulations @Jhodd !!!

Congratulations @Jhodd!

I keep testing even though I know I shouldn't and I think I've seen a hint of a line 👀 (definitely more obvious than the last shadow I thought I saw anyway 😂)

@Jhodd congratulations!! We're cycle buddies as I'm 13dpo today as well! Hopefully this is a good sign for me and your luck rubs off!

@Theresamagicalplace - I think I see a shadow too but I can't tell if it's a bfp or evap (I'm rubbish at distinguishing between the two when it's a shadow 🙈) but hopefully you see some progression in the days ahead!

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 08:23

My boob pain stopped yesterday (normally they continue right up until af appears) this is driving me mad! Due on tomorrow though so if AF stays away I'll test again tomorrow

oldermam · 16/12/2021 08:30

@melbxldn 10dpo. I need to speak to my go for meds if I am and 14dpo is over Xmas!

Billymay · 16/12/2021 08:31

10dpo and a BFN looks like I’m getting af for Xmas. Xx

Jayjane79 · 16/12/2021 08:33

I didn't get a faint line on an FRER until 11dpo I could 9f even been 12dpo .it was stark white negative the night before. unfortunately that pregnancy ended in a MC.

Huge congrats @Jhodd!

@Theresamagicalplace I think maybe I see something too - test again in a day or two if you can bear to wait!

Theresamagicalplace · 16/12/2021 08:59

Definitely going to struggle to wait a few days haha. I've got a digital saved for Saturday as thats period due date but it'll only be 12dpo so we'll see. I've got a weird popping sensation in my lower abdomen this morning, almost like a phone is vibrating against it Hmm very strange!

Billymay · 16/12/2021 09:03

@Jhodd yay congratulations to you! Finally some good news!

@Theresamagicalplace I think I might see something??

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 09:31

Also strange metallic taste in my mouth on and off this morning...hopefully the rest of us will get our BFP's soon 🤞

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 12:42

Well...spotting again and then I've just sat and sobbed. Part of me wants cling to hope and believe it's implantation bleeding but the other half is telling me to be realistic and that it's af. Feel even more horrible for being this upset as there are people who have been trying for longer than I have

Jhodd · 16/12/2021 13:33

@kizzy97 I’m sorry 😢
Let those feelings out, and then redirect your feelings in to your next cycle. Have some fun of Christmas and you never know, it may be your month.
How many months have you been trying?

Jhodd · 16/12/2021 13:38

@Theresamagicalplace I think I see it too 👀🙊 xx

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 14:06

@Jhodd - Thank you, technically I'm not out yet but just staying realistic. This is only my second cycle trying to conceive #2. I think I also convinced myself it was my month this month as my lead up to af has been highly different this month, like I normally have boob pain leading up towards and the end of af but any boob pain I had has disappeard atm xx

kizzy97 · 16/12/2021 15:03

Definitely out, it's progressed to af now ☹️

Sorry @kizzy97 af is poop! Fingers crossed for next cycle for you!

I'm still symptom spotting. Lower back ache, nausea. Weird odd pains on and off in my stomach, sore boobs. I'm only 4/5dpo 🙈 I need to get a grip!

Beck3115 · 16/12/2021 16:12

Thank you so much for your help ladies and a huge congratulations on the bfps ❤️❤️

Cecelia90 · 16/12/2021 16:52

Congratulations @Jhodd what a wonderful Christmas gift

@Theresamagicalplace i can see something 🤞🤞🤞

Not sure when to test again myself maybe Saturday morning which would be 14dpo cd27. I should wait for after cd29 when my period is due. I really thought something would show 11dpo because I’ve been feeling nauseous but perhaps I’m just knackered

Theresamagicalplace · 16/12/2021 16:58

I'm starting to believe it a little more now 🙈 everything crossed it sticks 🤞🤞
