Since I'm out for this month... Best chance to try again in a few weeks

Thought we could start a new chat for everyone who could potentially get their bfp in December or try again

@pontipinemum 🫠🫠 im worried its too early. Ive felt dizzy and sick for about a week now so im thinking surely something is happening I just dont want to see a negative 😁

@LuceNumberTwo how many dpo are you? No nothing as of yet- today is CD 26 so would have been today but I ovulated late so I didnt know that means late period. I thouhght it meant i had a short luteal phase 🤷🏼‍♀️ its all very confusing. App says I will come on Saturday so we will see. Ive actually had a few things that have made me think i may be in with a chance this month but could be completely wrong😂 im only 9dpo so no point testing for atleast a couple of days. How are you? Sorry to hear about your loss xx

I'm in a very similar position to you. I'm 9DPO and I also ovulated later this month. Tested this morning on a cheapy and got a negative, but I definitely have sore boobs and feel a bit queasy, like I did with my other pregnancies. Hope I'm not setting myself up too much for a disappointment. My app has predicted AF for Thurs. When do you think you'll test?

H938 · 11/12/2023 13:28

@bobbles4091 I deffo feel different but Ive never actually tried to get pregnant before so not paid much attention to symptoms as such but i do have a cold sore and thats always a sign for me i think! Im pretty sure last time I got a positive test at 9dpo then done a digital at 11dpo but i just feel like its too early - also im not even sure what day I actually ovulated. Are you going to test again tomorrow? X

LuceNumberTwo · 11/12/2023 14:21

Hmmm, premom says 10dpo.. flo says 9 🤣🤣 but i don't think I am, I've not had anything symptom wise etc really & I just think we didn't do enough to fall

The only slight thing I've had is some discharge like.. tmi but a sort of muscus type, but I can't remember if I had that anyway before my period 🤣🤣

You are so patient! Doing so well to not even be tempted.. Like I did go a bit crazy & test as per above like 6dpo 🙈 .

Also question for anyone who might know - I've been reading up on these clearblue ultra early pregnancy tests (flashy ones) does anyone know how sensitive they are? I can't find it anywhere. 🙈

Karinx · 11/12/2023 15:41

I've been feeling really off all day today, I can't really explain the feeling but just weird. And strange feelings in my uterus. I'm not sure if I had some spotting earlier too, sort of light brown coloured 🤷🏼‍♀️ I've been busy in work though so not much time to overthink it! I didn't sleep well at all last night though so I'm not sure if I just feel off (and exhausted) because of that.

I think I'm only 7DPO today so still early to test.

H938 · 11/12/2023 16:39

@LuceNumberTwo no I also do that when I know it will be negative 😂 so I think may aswell wait a couple of days until theres actually a chance of it showing. Its most likely to show after 12dpo isnt it!?

did you do a digital test? X

LuceNumberTwo · 11/12/2023 17:02

Ahhh I'm so excited to see what happens for you ❤️🤞🤞

I'm trying so hard to not do anything but it's really difficult 🤣 I'm a really obsessive tester! Yes they definitely say either 12 dpo or first day of missed period 🤦‍♀️🙈

No I haven't, I had just been looking at them as they are new but when I've been pregnant I'm the past, the digital didn't show pregnant until I got a clear, still faint but you could clearly see it on a strip test.. So didn't want to waste money if it would just be the same 🤣

@Karinx Hopefully means something for you 🤞 7dpo is super early but I'm so bad for testing so I'd have done it by now 🤣🤣 good luck!!!

H938 · 11/12/2023 18:11

@LuceNumberTwo I know its tempting haha!

they do say its different with every pregnancy so some may take longer to show up and some may show early but according to google its 12dpo and also doing it before is disapointing getting a negative!! So were about the same. Lets test on Thursday 😂

I'll be 12 DPO on Thursday. Can I test with you too? 🫣

H938 · 11/12/2023 19:07

@bobbles4091 @LuceNumberTwo Thursday it is. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Although its still 3 days away which is ages when youre waiting for it 😂

LuceNumberTwo · 11/12/2023 19:12

Ohhhh ladies!!! Exciting!!! OK what tests we going with? & I'm assuming fmu? 🙈 it does seem ages away
I've got this 🤣

PolkaDotDot · 11/12/2023 19:13

Got my BFP today! I had BFNs 7 and 8dpo then waited until this morning. Think I'm about 11dpo.

Fingers crossed for everyone else waiting to test! ❤️

@LuceNumberTwo I find the First Response Early Detection tests are the best! Just had a positive last week, extremely faint line on test strips & cheap early test but dark pink the next day on the FR.
Was the same last time I was pregnant also.
The CB Ultra tests 10mlU/ml and the FR tests 6mlU/ml so are more sensitive

H938 · 11/12/2023 19:17

@PolkaDotDot omg amazing!!! Its so dark!! Congratulations. Xxx

LuceNumberTwo · 11/12/2023 19:35

@PolkaDotDot Dot Wow!! Congratulations!! That's an amazing BFP ❤️❤️

I'm thinking this too, but the only early response I can get is on amazon, pack of 3, they are about £16? X

Saffie920 · 11/12/2023 19:40

Wow congrats for the BFPs! 💐 Those lines are amazing! I'm only 5dpo and the days are going by sooooo slowly

PolkaDotDot · 11/12/2023 19:49

Thanks ladies ❤️

@LuceNumberTwo I bought these ones lovely:

www.amazon.co.uk/First-Response-Early-Result-Pregnancy/dp/B001DULLKE/ref=mpsa19?crid=UBC6VQ82TL9D&keywords=pregnancy+test&qid=1702323881&sprefix=%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-9

They come in a pack of 2. But they're def pricey! I only went for them because the cheaper CB 2 pack were rapid results and the ultra early ones are expensive on Amazon too. I swear pg tests have doubled in price since I last got pregnant a couple years back!!

SlinkMcSlink · 11/12/2023 20:26

Congrats @PolkaDotDot x

LuceNumberTwo · 11/12/2023 20:31

@PolkaDotDot oh thank you!! I'll buy these Wednesday so I'm not tempted ☺️
I'm so sure I know it will be negative but I'll still try 🤞 x

LuceNumberTwo · 12/12/2023 09:11

Annnnd just like that I'm out 🤣🤦‍♀️ AF has arrived 3 days early of course
I feel OK because we didn't properly try, my body's now had a couple of months break, so TTC for Jan will be a go!!! Apparently ovulating over Xmas so merry Christmas to my partner 🤣🤣🤣
Positive is also I can now go out Saturday without that guilt & have a good few gins 🎉🥂

Ladies please update when you test! My everything is crossed for you all 🤞🤞🥰❤️

H938 · 12/12/2023 11:03

@LuceNumberTwo ahhh im glad you are okay about it. I will be too if it comes- what will be will be!! You can enjoy christmas and drink as much as you like 😁🥂🥂 Cannot believe that we are 12 days away from Christmas. Its come so soon!! X

Mama09876 · 12/12/2023 11:56

I’m heading in to fertile week! Ovulation due on Sunday accord to app. Started taking my BBT this morning and ovulation strips. Only problem is I’m still suffering from flu from last week and have no energy at all to even think about DTD 😂 I had high hopes for this month as well but we’ll see!
any one else going in to fertile week?

Saffie920 · 12/12/2023 12:01

Sorry to hear that @LuceNumberTwo but sounds like you've got a good attitude to it 😊

I'm struggling to feel so okay with it all, having a tough day today. I'm 7DPO and I just don't feel like it has happened for me this month. I struggle with checking my cervix as I can never really tell if it high/low hard/soft but I think it feels firmer than it did during ovulation and I've got myself worried that I'm out for this month 😔 does anyone else have any advice/experiences of their cervix feeling firm but turning out to be pregnant? (To give me hope!)

Feeling sad about it all - we DTD so much this month in my fertile window and I just really thought it was going to happen.

H938 · 12/12/2023 12:19

@Saffie920 your cervix can literally not change until weeks after, I would not worry about that at all! Also you can read into every little thing its so hard not to get yourself down but you can also have absolutely no symptoms and be pregnant!! Fingers crossed!! X

pontipinemum · 12/12/2023 12:29

@Saffie920 I have never even tried to feel my cervix. 15DPO here and getting strong positives. I've started to feel very nauseous and tired. I was the same with DS but didn't really know it was nausea because I kept eating bread to dull it! Until it clicked one day what I was doing. But over all I felt very symptomless with DS
