Anyone due to get BFP/AF at Xmas?

[madeleine85]

The pressure is on... in the TWW and AF is due right around Xmas. Spending the holidays with my in laws, and both wanting to drink through the holidays/not drink as in the TWW. I’m also dreading a little bit of feeling down if I get AF right at Xmas. If anyone is looking for a TWW companion/obsessor here I am ☺️. Good luck, and hope you all get your Xmas present 🎁 BFP from Santa 🎅🏻. Xx

Forgot to add im due 22nd dec

9dpo is very early, I wouldn't lose hope yet. I got my positive today which is 13dpo and my boobs have been agony for week and a half now. They always settle down days before my period is due and this was only symptom I had really.

Maybe do another test in a few days? Keep positive x

@Bristolgal567 CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

@whymewhyme 9dpo is very early. I'm sure you've seen this before but here is a chart of the likeliness of testing positive on each day: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/ it made me relax a bit. I think first cycle I was already testing by day 6 lol.

Congratulations. The first BPF of the thread. Sending you sticky vibes 🥳🥳

Morning ladies.

Can I join? AF due Christmas Day. Only my first cycle trying. Previously when I've TTC ten years ago I caught quite quickly but I have a condition that causes mc if I don't get meds on board. I'm nearly 40 also (next month) I've used OPK's this month.

I'm 6dpo, tiredness is horrific. Nausea started yesterday. I'm eating haribo to keep the yucky taste out my mouth. Way too early to test though. I do have some first response tests ready to go. I was going to try and hold out until Monday/Tuesday to test, but I think even that's too early? It's been a long time since I did all this!

Thank you for this. Though all it's done is made me think I could test today 😂😂 I won't. But still haha

Ergh the apps that I use to track my BBT have just changed my ovulation date by 2 days. Meaning an extra 2 days of the tww! I'm now due AF on Boxing Day. Was really hoping if it came it would be before Xmas so I could have a few drinks.

I also had some cramping yesterday that I thought could maybe have been implantation cramps as it would have been the mid point of the tww but now that seems very unlikely. Feeling quite deflated.

Hows everyone else doing?

Congratulations @Bristolgal567 !

I tested this morning at 10dpo and was a bfn I was slightly hopeful after getting what I thought could be a little implantation spotting at 8 dpo but ah well! I know it's still early though.

Welcome @oldermam! Sounds like you have some promising symptoms! When I was pregnant before I got a vvvvf line at 8dpo but going by the countdown to pregnancy site that is rare. I still test from about then though! Hoping this is your month! 🤞

@LondonladyTTC you are definitely still in the game! BFNs are always so disappointing though. This whole process is such an emotional rollercoaster.

I tested yesterday at 10 dpo and got a bfn, af has shown up early this morning so my cycles must be all over the place. Will admit that I am sad, after doing everything right for the last few months still nothing. Found out yesterday that my cousin is 14 weeks pregnant as well.
Oh well, hopefully 2022 is better for me. Good luck to everyone still waiting

@Bristolgal567 huge congratulations! How wonderful xx

@Frida9 sorry to hear that this whole process is so bloody frustrating. Sending love and baby dust for next month xx

Thank you!

@oldermam welcome, hope you’re feeling better. That’s really scary about your condition, but at least it’s identified. I’m 36, so not far behind you. Have had weird constipation, heartburn, freezing cold feeling and I’m crampy/exhausted since 3dpo. I’ve had all this my first month ttc though so trying and failing to not read too much into it. Going to our friends for drinks tonight which I’m feeling a little guilty about during tww, but should be ok.

@cocoforbes similar in that I’ve had a lot of cramps, but earlier than they should be for implantation. They were really bad night of dpo 4/day of dpo 5. Not impossible, but unlikely,

@Frida9 I’m sorry that your AF came, it’s always such a let down at first while you adjust. At least you’re onto a new year and a fresh slate. Hope you get a positive early in the new year

@Bristolgal567 huge congratulations on your BFP!

@Frida9 sorry to hear AF showed up :( keeping my fingers crossed for you in the new year!

@oldermam welcome! I’m also due on Xmas day. Haven’t had many symptoms other than feeling slightly nauseous on and off. I am not going to test until AF is officially late as I just can’t deal with the disappointment of seeing a BFN! Luckily I have lots going on over the coming week to keep me busy and hopefully keep my mind off it as much as possible.

The other night I did have a hot flash, never usually happens to me - has anyone else had this? Trying not to overthink it but it’s definitely not typical for me.

@Chasingrainbows1518

Ive had hot flashes. But only surrounding the sick feeling. My nausea is terrible. But im convinced im imagining it. But I also keep waking up in the night so hot and sweaty.

I don't blame you waiting until Xmas day though! Unfortunately due to the meds I need to start I can't otherwise there would be a delay, just hoping it shows early! Good luck!

Hey ladies, 8 day DPO here. Trying the resist the urge to test as I just ‘know’ it will be blank. I have just have this feeling it’s going to happen this month, I have zero symptoms which is weird as I am on cyclogest which I am told could mimic pregnancy symptoms.
When is everyone going to test?

Hi everyone! I'd love to join you. On Cycle 7 here and AF due 28th. I'm planning to test Xmas day, which will be 10dpo, as I think if I get the inevitable blank screen it'll be a nice day to distract myself from the disappointment and start to move on! Equally if it were positive, I think it would be an amazing moment for myself and DH.
Already feeling like I'm out and only 4dpo - my usual cramp and lower back ache starting... thanks progesterone 🙃 good luck everyone!!

Welcome! Tues I think. I'll be 9/10dpo!

Good luck to you.

@Hopefull1981 don’t count yourself out yet, lots of women including myself had 0 symptoms until bfp!
I had a miscarriage in Oct and had a long cycle afterwards so I’m not really sure what’s going on. I’m hoping i’ve gone back to 30 day cycle now in which case i’ll be due AF on Xmas eve. I think I’m going to test Tuesday! When will you?

Hello ladies! 6 dpo today and zero symptoms. @madeleine85 I'm very tempted to test today 🙈 but I know it will be negative so why oh why? 🤣
Last cycle, I didnt even have time to test, my AF showed up before. I have just one frer and lots of IC I hardly ever use because AF keeps showing up right on time. My cycles are super regular, it's so frustrating I'm already on cycle 6!!!

I'm due AF on the 24th or 25th!

Exactly two years ago, I got a BFP on Christmas Day, with DD.

It would be a major coincidence if it happened again!

Think I will wait until Tuesday. I have the baby plan tests which have a detection threshold of 10 mIU/ml. I just have a feeling this isn’t my month and dread having AF on Christmas Day.

@EishetChayil that would be amazing. Fingers crossed for you x
