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

Hello joining in this thread.

6dpo here, but have a Luteal Phase of 10 days, so will test on xmas day (in case of surprise present for DP) otherwise again on the 27th.

Trying not to symptom spot. SO HARD. ARGH!

I need to see more lines please people!

@Shortmamashortcycles thank you and sorry to hear of your MMC also. They really are shit. Can I ask if your cycles went back to normal length afterwards or changed? I’m still not really sure what to expect. I know it’s different for everyone but it’s hard when you just want your body back to normal and to know what’s going on! This is our first ttc cycle since as it took 5 weeks after the erpc for all my hcg to finally leave my system. Thought I’d fallen pregnant again straightaway for a while but never mind.

I know what you mean and this time of year is so busy as well. Got fingers crossed that this cycle is the one for you!

@i123i that is so frustrating! I find the initial predictions a little BS unless you have a textbook cycle. Even by cycle 3 premom still had me a full week earlier than I was the prior 2 cycles. I tried to DTD cycle #2 when it predicted which was very wrong and my HD was not impressed lol.

@Housetaxis welcome and good luck! Let us know how you get on!

@frenchie4002 everything crossed for you

@oldermam I read that ovulation can happen up to 48 hours after the peak, so the 24 hour thing doesn't always apply. I am guessing it could go even later too. Hoping AF doesn't come this cycle for you. At least you have a lot to be busy with until xmas now!

@Shortmamashortcycles good luck!! Hoping that you are fully back to normal post CP and this is the one for you x

@WTFUterus it is still too early to test for a lot of people until AF/2 days after, so crossing everything for you

@MrsLeclerc that would be so lovely for you, hope the cycle repeats!

@Hopefull1981 it sounds like you have a good doctor, so hoping that this all gets sorted out/the tests help speed things up, good luck x

@pennysays the 6dpo stage is rotten, I'm also 10/11 day so you are so close yet it feels so far. good luck, keep us updated!

So I tested again with FMU and the line is still there and I think getting pinker/darker (comparison of today vs yesterday attached). Hoping it keeps. Apologies, shocking lighting in both pics... yay for holiday traveling.Today is AF final due date so a little nerve wracking!

Congratulations @madeleine85 :D

There’s definitely a line there, so exciting!!!! Congrats @madeleine85 ❤️!!!

@frenchie4002- feeling ok thanks, maybe slight cramping but no other symptoms (at 9dpo) so I don’t have high hopes for the cycle sadly, especially if Natural Cycles was right when it moved my ovulation date...

@Shortmamashortcycles - sorry to hear about the CP. I had an early miscarriage at the end of October/beginning of November so have had one full cycle since then and this is the second. The first cycle was a few days longer with a heavier period so @frenchie4002 maybe you’ll have that too (if you don’t get your BFP!)

@WTFUterus - sorry to hear about the BFN. Let us know if AF shows.

@Hopefull1981 - thank you. All the best of luck to you too!! 🌟

Thanks guys! I am very (cautiously) excited though will see if AF shows today before telling anyone outside of DH. I think I came up with a way to get a BFP, just start one of these threads lol. The person who did the december one I was part of got one too :)

Yay @madeleine85 that’s a great line! Fingers crossed for you it continues to progress well. What a lovely early xmas pressie

@i123i, @frenchie4002, thanks guys. Yeah firet full cycle after the MMC was a few days longer than normal because I think my ovulation was all over the shop. Second cycle was the CP so no idea what to make of it, but I ovulated at the usual time at least, and now we're here - again I ovulated late due to the CP I think, so expecting a bit longer than normal...

@madeleine85, that looks like a nice developing line! 🤞 for you!

Been trying for over a year.. just got this… not sure when I ovulated but I think it was 10 days ago if I try and work it out.. but who knows! What do you think?

great @madeleine85 this is what we want to see for Christmas. @Verysadperson101 i can see something! You want it to be pink so keep testing and hopefully it will develop over the next couple of days.

@Verysadperson101 I can see that line without zooming in :D I’d use a FRER if I were you! Good luck!

@Verysadperson101 omg yessss!! I see it without squinting/zooming! Congrats ❤️❤️. Let us know how it goes over the next few days. What amazing news

Huge congratulations @madeleine85 and @Verysadperson101 ♥️ those look positive to me 🎄✨ hope they are sticky !

I tested today at 10dpo and it's BFN for me ☹️
Although I don't think I implanted until 9dpo (dip in chart, cramps and spotting)
I've had a tiny bit of spotting today but not due period for another 5 days or so (my cycles are weird since my op though so 😬)

Hoping it's a good sign and staying hopeful.

Anyone know how long after implantation they got their BFP with previous pregnancies? ♥️

@madeleine85 @Verysadperson101 congratulations, can definitely see lines!!!
Can I ask how many DpO you were to get positive?

@Tigerlilyxx I think I’m 9dpo

My last period was on the 4th Dec

@Tigerlilyxx I got mine at 10 dpo. I’d say though I had implantation cramps 4-7 dpo but more intense at the start so I think I implanted early

Congratulations @Verysadperson101 - such happy news!!

@FreckledMouse - spotting at this stage seems like a positive sign to me!

Thanks for all the encouragement and positivity, I'll test again Xmas morning so I'm not spending the day wondering.
So sorry to hear of all the MMC and CPs, I had a CP in July, it's sad how common it is

It's encouraging to see the BFP, fingers crossed we have more in the next few days 🤞🤞

Big congrats on the BFP @Verysadperson101 and @madeleine85 ! Lovely to have such good news before Christmas, keeping my fingers crossed we have some more good news in the group.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! No idea how many DPO I am as didn't track but but think I'm around 11DPO and due on Saturday. Tests so far have been BFN but thinking of trying tomorrow morning. Had a rest day today as the disappointment got too much but then it's really addictive 'just in case' something comes up!

Yes, hoping santa has some good presents waiting for this group in the coming few days ❤️🍾 🎁 🎅🏻

Hi everybody! I just got a strong positive on a FRER at 13dpo and I'm slightly in shock. I'm 45 and we only dtd 3 days before OV this month.

At my age there's a 50% chance of miscarriage so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I may not even tell my husband until things are more confirmed, so it's lovely to be able to share it on here!

Positive thoughts to everyone
