New thread as the other one is about to go!! Defo forgotten a few peeps! Please add ladies!

@Aims1991 wooop HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!! What a wonderful way to stay December!! ❤️❤️🧡🧡 and to get it on the digital for me is always the crowning moment 😊😊

Why don't you wait (if you can) until Christmas Day? If my little nugget sticks this is what I'm going to do. Going to do like a little "emergency box" and fill it with things like coffee sachets, paracetamol, ear buds etc,. Then have a pic that says "here we go again" and maybe put in a pregnancy test if I can be bothered 😂😂

I'm terrified of telling anyone though in case I lose it again, so don't feel like you have to be like me and keep it quiet! Xx

@CShandy01 @hoola23 god I don't think I could last till Christmas Day🤣 I was thinking the weekend is a struggle to get too.

I have a lot of cramp / bloating today. Same feeling I get with AF!

@CShandy01 love that idea!! But can you seriously wait until Xmas day!!! That is some willpower! But would be so cute! You have to film that secretly!

@Aims1991 I think that's normal cramping and bloating. So how are you going to tell him?!

@hoola23 was going to buy a baby grow or vest that said hi daddy but can't one this week. So might leave the tests I done somewhere and spy on him🙈
What about you

@Aims1991 what about getting a plain baby gro and a fabric pen and you can write that on it?

@hoola23 I'm going to nip to shops at lunch and have a look. I even thought a mug saying dad and make him his tea in it.
Honestly I've never been this excited before 🙈
Have you told DH

@Aims1991 oh that's cute! It's the best feeling isn't it!

Yeah I told him straight away as I'd already bought something to give him if it happened! Last time it was a baby grow saying baby drummer, this time was tiny minsters drum sticks saying daddyS little drummer. If this one doesn't stick I'm really going to run out of these gifts 🤣🤣

@hoola23 Ano so exciting. I ordered a mug🙈

@Aims1991 hope you did next day delivery!🤣

@hoola23 it's two day delivery because it's Christmas 😭 I don't know how I will get past tonight without blabbing to him 🤣

@Aims1991 oh no! You're just going to have to try and completely forget about it! I lasted 24 hours last time and it was HARD but equally nice to have that special moment when only you know ❤️

@hoola23 @Aims1991 part of me wants to do another test tonight, other half of me wants to wait until Saturday to see a super super dark line 😔 the chemical has really really knocked my confidence xx

@CShandy01 this is the first time I've ever had a positive test

@CShandy01 oh I'm testing daily. Twice 🤣 and then sticking them all together to see progression. There is some clear progression already and that's all that's keeping me going🤣 I'm not really excited yet but just happy I'm at stage one

I was thinking today about what date of DTD worked and wondered if anyone else had similar thoughts. So both times it's worked, we started DTD from cd6 which is basically the day after AF ends. The two times it's worked we DTD cd6 and then every other day until ov but always missed the day of ov. When it's failed I've started from cd 9 then every other day. So the only two times we start from cd 6 it's worked! Given that I ovulate between 13-15 is this a Coincidence? Clearly cd6 was not the successful sperm so I'm not sure why this pattern seems to work. For me anyway!

@hoola23 I'm so rubbish at working this all out. We only DTD twice over ovulation (Sunday and Monday) and then the Monday before 😂😂 last time only did it over ovulation 3 times. Clearly for me it's just finding the right day and DTD! Xx

@CShandy01 @hoola23 this was the first time I had a peak for more than 1 day. I had a peak CD 15/16/17 and DTD 7/10/12/15/17/18 and I remember being angry with OH for him not wanting to do it on CD16🙈

@CShandy01 @Aims1991 it's so odd isn't it! For me I think DTD from cd 6 works. No idea why! But logging that in case we need to go again!

I caved.....said I wasn't going to.....but I did.....

I think it's got a bit darker? Utterly terrified of getting my hopes up again. You guys are the only people who know xx

@CShandy01 babe 100% darker than yesterday! Woo! That's a very clear BFP! Try and relax a little now if you can. I know it's easier said than done but it's so out of our control too! Xx

Argh @Aims1991 CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! Soooooo made up for you!!!!!!

@CShandy01 that's a great line hun!!! How many DPO do you reckon you are-ish? Just remember it takes 48 hours to double so you're unlikely to see much progression every day. Maybe try and wait until sat now so you get to see that darker line? Xxx

@newtolineofduty ahh see I didn't realise it was 48 hours to double. I reckon I'm around 10dpo? Well that's my best guess 😂😂 will leave it now then xxx

@CShandy01 yes hun people understandably panic if they don't see progression in 24 hours but that's just normal. I think that's a great line on a blue dye for 10dpo!!!!!! Xxxx

@CShandy01 defo getting darker. Do you all recommend to test every other day?
