Hello, are any of you hopefully testing around Christmas?.... I know a few who are . Come and join me in the symptom spotting festive fun and if it doesn't work out this time, at least when can have all the festive food and drink we want...so it's not all bad xxxxx

hello please can I join - cycle still settling down after coming off pill but I think AF due christmas eve !! been ttc no1 for just a couple of months, so don't think i'm going to get the christmas pressie I've been hoping for but who knows (pleeeese santa !)....

dilemma is do I try and test over christmas, ... or wait until after so I don't spend christmas feeling a bit disappointed? what are other people expecting AF around the same time doing?

ISpyAMincePie · 17/12/2008 23:39

oooh and just read the rest of the thread - a big hello from me to all the Durham/ ex-Durham peeps , was at uni there and such a lovely city (uni seems a long time ago now though!)

StealthPolarBear · 18/12/2008 07:47

Hi ISpy - when were you there?
Not sure about the testing, I am so tempted to test now although it's way to early. Will probably plan to test after Christmas but then give in and test on Christmas Eve
Good luck!

smileycat · 18/12/2008 07:59

I think if you are due AF over Xmas no matter what you tell yourself I bet we all test, its the thought of having the extra special pressie that will spur us on to test early when we know we shouldn't & should wait for AF. If you are late over Xmas then you won't be able to help yourself & if AF arrives you will be disappointed away so I say test away

girlwithacurl · 18/12/2008 09:19

Ok, please don't all shout at me, but I tested this morning. BFN obviously, and I know it was too early but I couldn't help it. Christmas party tonight and feeling generaly PMT'ish made me want to know one way or the other, but I know I shouldn't have [slap wrist emoticon]

Hello Ispy well, as you can see I am not the best person to go by, but I am now going to try to wait until xmas eve...

ISpyAMincePie · 18/12/2008 12:56

you are so right, I can pretend all I like that I will wait till after christmas day, but first I will decide to buy a test 'in case I can't get to a shop' and then, at some point my resolve will weaken in the hope I get good news !!

stealth - about 8yrs ago now, only been back once or twice, but it is such a beautiful place, (well, with the odd blot on the landscape like the student union...), not sure I miss the nightlife though!

VJayMerrilyOnHigh · 18/12/2008 16:03

Hello ISpy, love your Christmas name . I'm going to test tomorrow, but won't be able to let any of you know until Monday as I'm going away tomorrow for the weekend. Good luck to the rest of you testing over the weekend. Can't wait to log back in on monday and see all your wonderful BFP's.

hmm

olivo · 18/12/2008 19:57

off you go, stealth.....you know you want to

twoturtledovesplease · 18/12/2008 20:03

evening,

(congrats again olivo - have also posted on other thread)
i'll join the testing on the 24th gang!! - that will be cd24 or 25 but i'll be amazed if af stays away that long as i've been averaging 23 days. aiming for the 24th might stopping me wasting tests (who am i kidding!!!

StealthPolarBear · 18/12/2008 20:04

I'd probably be better off at this stage dragging DH off to bed - don't have a clue when I ovulate but period was 30th November

2manychips · 18/12/2008 20:23

olivo wonderful news! congratulations.

olivo · 18/12/2008 20:27

thanks everyone.
2many, sounds more positive for you.

roll on the 24th for the rest of you!

smileycat · 19/12/2008 07:18

Olivo fantastic news an early Christmas pressie for you, 2many great news that the bleeding has stopped & you still have your BFP
