Hi there, AF is due the 23rd, going to text christmas eve morning.
Does anyone want to chat along the way?
Got a busy week visiting friends and festive activities to keep my mind off it as I'm an utter POAS addict 👀

@doughyparton looking hopeful. Keeping everything crossed for you!

Butterflygirl23 · 20/12/2022 15:07

I'm due today but nothing as of yet. I took a test but negative this morning. I think I ovulated later so I'm 10 dpo today so I'm hoping it's still early

Ella31 · 20/12/2022 18:06

Yes, mine is the 25th so I will be testing Christmas Eve also. Second Cycle trying after miscarriage 4 months ago. Trying to stay calm as last month I stressed about it so much.

doughyparton · 20/12/2022 22:14

@Butterflygirl23 fingers crossed for you, there’s still lots of time at 10 dpo! What are you testing on?

Butterflygirl23 · 21/12/2022 06:51

F I don't start by Friday Il test Friday because I've never had 31 day cycle so il see! I'm really nervous because I've really got my hopes up but I don't even feel like af is on its way! What about you @doughyparton are you testing again today?

doughyparton · 21/12/2022 07:26

@Butterflygirl23 i just took one and I think it’s positive…?

@doughyparton it is!!! Congratulations!!!!! Do you have any symptoms?

doughyparton · 21/12/2022 07:44

@Butterflygirl23 Not really but really not sure as I’ve been symptom spotting. I’ve been having headaches on and off, mood swings, mild cramping plus the spotting the other day but I feel like all these could have been PMT too. Oh, I tell a lie; I’m really hungry at breakfast time, I’m normally good til 10am but I’m waking up ravenous!

Did Flo tell you you had an extra long cycle this month?

Milamight · 21/12/2022 11:03

I just took this, 2 days before I'm due on...eeeek!!!!

Ooh congratulations! AF was due for me yesterday but not turned up yet. I'm planning on testing Christmas morning if it still hasn't arrived! Anyone else in the same boat?

Butterflygirl23 · 21/12/2022 11:15

Flo says I was due yesterday but says if period doesn't come today test in 3 days so I'm going to wait till Friday!
I have hardly no symptoms just my boobs have started to get sore today so I'm not sure what's going on but big congratulations to you @doughyparton

doughyparton · 21/12/2022 11:36

@Milamight congratulations! A lovely strong line!

@Butterflygirl23 you must have the patience of a saint to wait, I really admire that! Does Flo always suggest testing 3 days after missed period?

I’m not celebrating just yet as I’m not positive on the Boots dip sticks yet so going to wait until AF is supposed to come and hold my breath til then!

Butterflygirl23 · 21/12/2022 11:42

It said the same yesterday if it doesn't start test in 3 days and now it's saying it today! Like I said I never have a cycle of 31 days and that'll be Friday so il test. I tested yesterday it was negative so that's why I'm not getting my hopes up! I'm not sure what's going off, I spotted last Friday evening and nothing since

Ella31 · 21/12/2022 15:44

Congratulations, I'm 6dpo and my period is due in 5 days so short luteal phase....not holding out much hope for my rainbow baby.

Kayycatt · 21/12/2022 18:50

Wow congrats with all the positives!!

Couldn't resist and tested this morning at 10 dpo, it was a BFN and now I am spotting very lightly, which means AF is coming :( baby dusts to everyone else who has yet to test.

Ella31 · 22/12/2022 10:16

Cramps in lower groin area, AF is 4 days away. Pretty sure I'm out at this point. Similar to last months disappointment. My luteal phase is short (11 days) so I'm 7dpo only. Am I right in thinking it's still too early. I've tested BFN this morning.

doughyparton · 22/12/2022 10:20

@Butterflygirl23 keep us updated!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

emhope · 22/12/2022 10:23

Couldn’t wait until Christmas Eve and just tested! So shocked, after 9 cycles of trying I really didn’t expect to see those two lines! So happy 💕

doughyparton · 22/12/2022 10:23

@Ella31 short luteal means you have less time between ovulation and AF? That shouldn’t effect when you’d get a BFP as I think it still takes the same time for fertilisation and implantation and at 7dpo I think it’s still too early. I got nothing on 7dpo and what I thought was an evap line at 8dpo and even then I think that’s quite early. I’ve been reading that 8-12 dpo is about the right time to start getting HCG readings on a test so you’ve still a bit of time.

Aw thanks so much for the message. The cramping is what's worrying me. Feels like my period coming on

Milamight · 22/12/2022 11:06

Congratulations emhope!! We started trying a year ago, had mmc in June at 14w and i got my bfp 2 days ago, I'm still in shock! Xx

Shxo · 22/12/2022 18:08

AF Due 27th for us, earliest we can test 22nd... dying to test now but after last months dissapointment (what looked to be positive lines that wernt) we are trying to refrian. We said we were going to test xmas eve, that would be 10/11DPO (29 day cycle) - feel like we will ruin xmas with it. 🙄🙈 Last time we were symptom spotting. Been much better doing our own thing but getting harder now its near AF. LUCK TO YOU ALL!

doughyparton · 22/12/2022 18:23

@Butterflygirl23 eeee yes! Okay, doing a baby dance for you, not like that baby dance but like a rain dance baby dance.

doughyparton · 22/12/2022 18:26

@emhope congratulations!!! Such a nice Xmas surprise!
