Hello!

I'm currently 2nd cycle TTC no2. I'll be 11dpo on the 25th Dec. Thought it would be nice to have a thread going for anyone testing over the holidays, for moral support and hopefully congratulations 🎉 all welcome to join x

Hey I'm 5dpo today, finding this tww one of the worst so far I'm not sure if Christmas and the end of the year is playing on my mind more. Very happy to join the thread:) how are you feeling?

Thanks for the tip @Outliers

And thanks for joining @GHJ 🙂 ah you're 2dpo ahead of me. Sorry it's been a tough wait so far. How long have you been TTC? Is it your first, or do you have DC?

I'm ok at the moment thanks. I don't find the 1st week too bad - it's the 2nd week I go completely mental. I've got day 21 bloods booked at the hospital on Friday. I think that will help with the wait, it's a half-way landmark.

Not quite sure what to do with Christmas testing, but thought I'd see if I can make it to Christmas Eve and avoid having any tests in the house until then. We'll see!!

Have you got a plan for testing/not testing? 🙂

We're TTC baby#1, been trying for 10months thereabouts now. How about you? I will definitely early test, I can't help but POAS which I know isn't healthy. I did an ovulation test this evening because I just felt like I needed to test something. I have only two cheapie hcg tests left though and don't want to get any more if I can help it so hopefully that will stop me from testing for a few days yet.

I keep telling myself I won't POAS early but... Haha we'll see. I had some bad evaps on easy@home last month, which was a real head-fuck actually and has put me off the cheapies. But you can't exactly multiple POAS on FRER... Well I'm definitely not rich enough for that anyway haha. Which cheapies do you use?

Um slightly complicated story 🙂 I have a lovely 2.5yo DS. We started TTC for baby number 2 around this time last year, but had an ectopic and needed surgery. Kind of a shock, as DS was an easy pregnancy. We had a TTC break for various reasons, including moving across the country for DP's work. I wanted to settle into my new job too. So this is our second cycle of our fresh attempt at DC2.

I’m due AF Christmas Day! Going to test Christmas Eve at 11 dpo.

TTC #1 on cycle 6

Welcome aboard @Roseberry22 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

Hi ill join currently 3dpo trying baby 3...37 years old sp worry times against me...on cycle 5 due a few days before new years eve

Hi @Bex4567 plenty of people convince at 🙂

11 DPO today but had the pre period headache yesterday! Would you guys say im out?!

clutching at straws!

What do you mean

@gtx1797h I don't think a headache means you're out. Actually getting your AF would mean that 🙂have you taken a test?

No too scared do not want the disappointment

Hi- I am on a couple of these boards as not talking to anyone in RL about it so need to get my energy out...

I had my coil removed this month technically I said Jan was month 1 ttc but the dates mean this month is still in play

I was not really tracking my cycle when I had the coil like I said Jan is my proposed month 1, but if AF has not come by christmas eve then I will do a test!

Hi I'm due AF on Christmas Day. I'm having cramps today at 6 or 7dpo and I'm convincing myself it's implantation cramps but I do sometimes get intermittent cramps up to a week before AF so it's probably that! I'm planning to test on Christmas Eve.

Hi @MerryMissie and @TeapotRo welcome!

Ahh fingers crossed for a lucky not-officially-TTC bfp for you MerryMissie. I'm impressed you'll wait until the 24th teapotro! Are you both TTC your first? And how long have you been TTC @TeapotRo ?

Aww @gtx1797h not long to wait now I guess - what dpo does your AF usually arrive?

No this is my second and my first is nearly 8!! Took me a while first time round! So would be a Christmas miracle if this was it on the first round not even officially ttc ha!!

I mean... Christmas is the time for miracles, right?! 😎You never know.

Also, If I'm not drinking wine at Christmas, I'd better get a bfp haha.

Hello everyone! First month TTC and I got a positive last week. I’m currently 16dpo. Anxious and scared to say the least. Private scan on Xmas eve 🤞

I'm 38 and TTC no 3 (I have teens!).

We are on cycle 5 and feel like this month is the month! Haha (isn't it always!).

I'm 3DPO and due on 30th December.

This month my boobs are so sore and swollen! Really strange digestion as well.

Hoping for that BFP under the tree for us all xx

@alh26 ahh congratulations!

@NeeNaw12 that's the thing- come christmas day ill either be pregnant and happy or having a glass of champagne so it's not a bad old life!!!
@alh26 wow congratulations!!!! That's amazing!!!

I'm the same as u due on 30th of December and 3dpo currently...cycle 5 of us ttc am 37 years old so so worried for my age

Snapped and took a test at 6dpo which was obviously obviously negative because it's basically impossible to get a bfp this early anyway but at least I felt like I was doing something😂 torturing myself! Weirdly this month I'm just not really getting any signs, no cramps really, no sore boobs, my temps dropped a bit today and yesterday, all kind of bad signs but at the same time I normally get all of the "right" signs and then af arrives so I'm hoping it might actually be a good thing that my body feels like it's doing absolutely nothing. If that makes any sense! Time will tell. Christmas magic to you all xx
