I’m officially out for a Dec baby, my period started last night. Before I jump over to jan 24 thread (😱), I just wanted to wish everyone who’s had their BFP a really healthy and happy pregnancy and to those of you still waiting to test, I have everything crossed for you all 🤞🏻❤️

I just have a quick question, I’ve ordered a thermometer to track my BBT and I’m unsure on when I should be testing. I’m pretty awful in the mornings, I usually snooze my alarm for about half an hour before I actually get up, should I be test the second my alarm goes off or is it ok to test when I finally fully wake up? Thanks guys x

@Seasidegirll sorry to hear that. Based on my ovulation date I would be due New Year’s Day so straddling the two threads - I’ll see you on the Jan one!

I started BBT this month and tbh I’m struggling with it as I’m the same as you.

Ive found it seems to be more accurate the second you wake up, so in your case go for the first option.

I keep it under my pillow so if I half wake up at say, 6am, I test then, the the thermometer records it, I go back to sleep and input when I actually properly wake up.

You’re supposed to also try and keep to the same time each day (which is what I’m struggling with, especially over the weekends!)

Thinking about it, there is a ttc 2024 babies but not a specific january one. Should I make up a specific Jan one? Xxx

@Floralsandsmiles sure why not, we'll be together again in a new thread 🥳

RegardingPersephone · 10/04/2023 12:39

Tested at 7dpo today and nothing. Not sure what I expected as it is so early 😅

@Floralsandsmiles oh yeah, I didn’t realise the 24 thread wasn’t a jan one! Can you tag me in the new one please x

Seasidegirll · 10/04/2023 13:08

@Mushroo thanks! That’s exactly the reason why I haven’t done my BBT before, I don’t want to wake up at 6am on the weekends 😂🙈 but I’m willing to give it try at this stage! I try for this cycle and see how I get on

@Seasidegirll sorry you're out lovely. If you're a snoozer take it as soon as the alarm goes off then go back to snoozing and I put the info when you're awake properly otherwise it won't be accurate

Fallulah · 10/04/2023 14:58

@bringmearainbow YES!!!!

I cried over the floor tiles in the bathroom not looking right yesterday, so I’m sure AF is going to arrive as planned tomorrow! Will dip in and out of the January thread but I think I need to think less about this for a while!

Mummyme87 · 10/04/2023 15:24

I’m not ready to move over to a January thread but I’m sure I’ll join in a few days

@bringmearainbow thanks, I thought that would be the case! I’m not holding out much hope that I’m going to be very good at this but I’m willing to give it a try haha

lottieb92 · 10/04/2023 17:53

Are easy@home Evaps a thing!?

I should have launched this test into the bin, but I’m just home from a long day and went to throw it away as I had left it out in the en-suite before Pilates ….

I can see something on it! Worst is… I’m OUT of pee 😖

lottieb92 · 10/04/2023 18:04

Put it into Premom… convinced it’s just a shitter test but my 8dpo is whiter than white.

but still will skip wine tonight in case!

RegardingPersephone · 10/04/2023 18:06

@lottieb92 I had one last month that gutted me. I'd test again and see!

lottieb92 · 10/04/2023 18:11

@RegardingPersephone bum thanks for sharing though - I was lucky to not get excited as it isn’t in timeframe and just isn’t at all promising to me, so I knew it was a faulty one.

I have just never ever had one with easy@home after over a year! But Caught up on some old threads and they are in existence 🤪

will test again tomorrow

bringmearainbow · 10/04/2023 18:32

@lottieb92 they do happen a lot with e@h that I've seen but saying that I looked back on my test I did last night which was def negative at the 5 minute mark and there was a clear line this morning 🤷🏼‍♀️ I've never had an evap on a IC it's always stayed negative. I think they only thing to do it wait and see which sucks 😫

lottieb92 · 10/04/2023 18:35

@bringmearainbow i found my 8dpo and it’s all white
but I’ll keep going and fingers crossed 😭

Mummyme87 · 10/04/2023 19:19

Yes e@h get evaps. I’ve had a few. Actually still have the one I did this morning and I can see a vfl on it, could do after an hour when I looked again.

you’re early, hold out a couple of days and retest…. She says. I’ve ordered frer for testing Wednesday morning just in case

RegardingPersephone · 10/04/2023 19:51

Still getting occasional cramps and a feeling of pressure in my pelvic area. Very odd. Hoping it's a good sign as I've never had it before!

Kiwiburgh · 10/04/2023 19:56

@bringmearainbow massive congratulations on your BFP! 🎊

Daniki · 10/04/2023 20:57

@lottieb92 I have to agree I have never had an evap line on any of those tests and iv honestly done a million. I had one that was negative and I looked at it again an hour later and vfl and I was pregnant then so ya never know! Test again tomorrow 😊🙏

Threepio · 10/04/2023 21:20

Hi everyone,

I've been following this thread for a while but not had the confidence to post....

Congrats to everyone who got their BFP and good luck to those moving onto January 2024 threads!

I'm now posting as just got my BFP at 10 DPO! My husband is on a flight to the US so have no one to tell!! I had a MMC in November so slightly apprehensive and worried about the journey ahead!
