So I just went and did a clear blue digital and it says not pregnant. So maybe my cheapie was just nonsense :( who knows. Not going to test for a few days unless ofcourse my period arrives! Keeping everything crossed. I was so excited this morning and now feel a bit deflated! Whyyyyy did I have to test again!!! @Sb86 hope you get your BFP!

Sb86 · 14/12/2022 11:29

@Knov20 but your urine will be diluted now so with you only being 8dpo and the other one only faint it will need a couple of days for the hcg to up their levels. Fingers crossed for you and thanks I'm hoping so too 🙏🏼

Knov20 · 14/12/2022 12:39

Ahh I didn't even think about it like that! Thanks for the positive thoughts, that's made me feel a bit more hopeful ☺️

becomingfall · 15/12/2022 11:44

How’s everyone getting on? I’m CD27 today so 13dpo- period would be due between today and CD29 normally.
no sign of period, but I don’t really get PMS so I wouldn’t really expect anything else. I’ve got 2 FRERs arriving from Amazon today- I wanted to hold out until Sunday but I’ve got a Christmas party tomorrow night 🙈

Parkopedia · 15/12/2022 13:26

@becomingfall day 27 here too so exactly the same!

Except I have been much less patient than you and tested on Tuesday (negative obviously) and today (still negative) which was disappointing because this is the DPO I got my BFP with my daughter. So sort of thinking I'm out now, but period not due until Tuesday/wed so still time....who knows!

Roxybabe · 15/12/2022 14:00

Hey ladies, 2dpo here and officially in TWW, busier this month so i’m hoping it flies. My app says i’m due on boxing day but will prob hold out until 28th to test (if af doesnt show). I feel like our chances aren’t great though as I have a cold/sore throat etc and feel like crap, we only DTD on day of peak OPK and 2 days before that and i’m not sure it was enough either tbh. But we will see.

Woo cycle buddy! I definitely haven’t been this patient the last 4 months I was just fed up of the disappointment so I’ve forced myself to wait this month 😂

i Have been playing the symptom spotting game though, mainly cos my boobs are SO sore I can’t help it 😂

becomingfall · 15/12/2022 14:23

@Parkopedia i have replied above just forgot to tag you 😂

WilllowStar · 15/12/2022 15:00

hello,

hope you I can join you all TTC. Just waiting on AF ending so I can start cycle 3 🤞🏻

NarnieJoy · 15/12/2022 15:06

7dpo here, or could be 8 I didn’t track this month. Spending the afternoon making mince pies and trying to not think about testing. I think I’ll have to test before my Christmas party next week if AF doesn’t show

Parkopedia · 15/12/2022 15:07

@becomingfall ahh it's so hard not to symptom spot!! Every little twinge has me on edge. Also I'm constantly comparing to how I felt with DD.

I 100% felt the implantation with her, it was a sharp pain on one side for just a second, but stopped me in my tracks. And then a few days later I was so nauseous I couldn't eat (very unusual for me 😅) which prompted me to test. Clear positive at 11dpo.

I know everytime is different but none of that has happened this month so along with the BFNs I'm probably out this month.

Let us know when you do test, good luck!!

Annaxox · 15/12/2022 15:47

Hi ladies, so I’m currently 1dpo according to my Flo app! I had an ectopic pregnancy in may, in which resulted in me losing my right tube. 😞. This is my first month ttc since my ectopic in may, so very nervous and sure it won’t happen in this first month! But none the less I am and will keep trying! Good luck to everyone here! I will probably test around 10/11 dpo which will be Christmas morning x

justwantobeamum · 15/12/2022 18:42

CD1 here so no Christmas BFP for me 😢 plus side is first period since ds1 and still breastfeeding so hopefully can crack on now hopefully still concieve a 2023 baby 🤞🏻

BCxx · 15/12/2022 19:42

@Knov20 when are you testing again? I got a ‘not pregnant’ a week ago today after getting a faint line on a FRER but was then confused as the following day’s FRER wasn’t much darker at all. Had bleeding so fully ruled it out, long story short it was just too early for the digital and I got stronger and stronger lines on a FRER then a 2-3 weeks on the digital yesterday! Don’t lose hope just because the digital tells you you’re not 🤞🏼

Misspotterscat · 15/12/2022 21:11

0.7 on ovulation test yesterday so assuming that’s my peak and hoping it’s enough.

Knov20 · 15/12/2022 21:53

Well I went to the shop today and got another test and just as I went to do it realised I was bleeding. Talk about a roller coaster. AF I would surmise due to the amount and colour! Gutted :(

Laul89 · 15/12/2022 22:46

@becomingfall @Parkopedia CD27 over here too! AF due next Wednesday. TWW has felt a little more bearable this month thanks to the Christmas distractions!
I’m feeling a little different tonight - headache and on and off sickly feeling with a watery mouth.. comes and goes! I’m probably coming down with that horrible cold everyone has but I hope it’s pregnancy related 🤣🤞🏼 probably too early for it to be that though!!
Going to hold out & test next Friday if AF doesn’t arrive before then as I can’t put myself through the disappointment after my chemical last month. Have a night out on 23rd so feeling a bit nervous about it all!

@Roxybabe good to see you back 🥰

Laul89 · 15/12/2022 22:47

@Knov20 ahhh so sorry to hear this 🥺

GemLou88 · 15/12/2022 23:11

Hey all. How you all doing? On CD14. App predicting ovulation tomorrow but nowhere near a peak on my OPK’s, todays was 0.4 but been having ovulation type pain today. Fingers crossed for a peak tomorrow so I can finally join the tww

Parkopedia · 16/12/2022 07:58

Welcome @Laul89 !

Annoyingly AF arrived this morning on CD28 which is very unusual as I usually have regular 31 day cycles. Oh well, means the next cycle comes sooner at least!

Hoping for positive new for you

Just to say be careful with this. There’s no ‘my’ peak with OPKs, it has to be darker or as dark as the test line or it’s not positive.
I say this after a year of getting ‘hmm only just’ OPKs, and it turned out from tests I wasn’t actually ovulating.
you can miss the peak of course but it’s rare.

anotherscroller · 16/12/2022 08:12

Also I recommend keep doing OPKs until you get a peak or your period. Often your body tries to ovulate and then again, and again, and when it finally does you’ve missed it because you thought it was before!

Knov20 · 16/12/2022 08:22

So the bleeding had now stopped. I don't remember having any implantation bleeding with my little boy.
It's now turned brown. God knows what's going on! I also did this pregnancy test and I saw a faint line but I'm just not trusting it

All I want for Christmas is a BFP- TTC September baby 🍁

I did this last month and I’m planning to this month. It’s been a tricky one for OPKs this month. The pattern that I’ve noticed over previous months hasn’t happened, and as I said previously the highest I’ve recorded is 0.7. Today I’m down to 0.12. I started taking evening primrose oil supplements and can only think this is why as I’ve read it can push back ovulation. On the plus side I’ve noticed much more ewcm than I have had previously. I don’t think this will be my month

Purple29 · 16/12/2022 08:50

I'm now 6dpo, know its really to early but my nipples are really sensitive and I feel really hungry, probably just wishful thinking!!!
