+++ December 2019 testing thread +++

[Pineberry]

Laurabub - I am so sorry love . It is extremely unfair. Do you have any plans in regards to getting checked? I really recommend it. Who knows, it could be something that is fairly easy to fix. Both my guy and I are planning to get ourselves checked if still not pregnant / another CP by January (have had 2 CPs so far).
They really have to investigate it once you have had three of them. Hang in there lovely, I know in my heart that you will get that fifth babe of yours.

Teafor - Hmm, not sure but I think I have read before that sore gums can be an early sign. So I am really hoping it is a preggy symptom for you and not anything else. However, you are right that 4dpo would be too early for any real symptoms to start showing When do you plan to test?

Lightning - you know you are 110% invested in the TTC game when a good deal on a pack of tests is enough to totally make your day hahah! Pretty happy myself about my 20 wondfo cheapies I got on amazon for 9.99€ I wish you a sexy BD marathon, go catch that eggy
__

As for me - big temp spike today, am either 10 or 12 dpo (despite temping I am actually not sure if I ovulated CD13 this cycle like usual, or CD15 - temps & EWCM have been so weird this month).

Tested this morning and looks like BFN. I know this is 'only' cycle 5, but I dont understand what's taking so long. We're both healthy and in good shape (which I know obviously aren't the only factors to successful conception). And dang it we DTD three days in a row from cd 11-13, which is not easy for two people with a fairly low libido.


The only upside is that now I can drink as much as I desire at my company's christmas party tonight.

Suggerhoney that’s so sweet of you

Laura defo darker

becca you don’t know how over the moon I am for you.

asfm we have all been caught with thia bug it’s been a long week. I have a gynae appt on 30th. I am not holding out any hope for tgis cycle I have never caught straight after a loss.

Laura I really get you I’ve had 7 miscarriages my 3 in a row took 4 years and now this 3 in a row took 15 months. 16 cycles is so long you get to a point in considering whether to throw the towel in. Pregnancy is never the same after losses. My period is due xmas eve yeah just what I need lol. Chin up luv and hoping for the best for you!

Thank you sweetness
I am sorry to hear about your loss and the stupid bug! We have the cold in our house. Its been 3 weeks so far and doesn't seem to be leaving us.
I'm still hopeful that you get a Christmas positive xx

Hi everyone I will joining in the wait for the next few days as we did a FET last Monday meaning I am 11dpo today. The embryo was struggling with being defrosted and they gave us medium chances of it implanting. But I did do a test today, and there was the faintest faintest line!! Like I have to hold it in the natural light to see it. Even my husband admitted to seeing it! So I think the embryo is still there, fighting. I bought enough tests to test every morning, but going for my official blood work on the 11th December.

Good luck for everyone, I see there's quite a few of you waiting to test at around the same time!

Ugh that's not fair. Let's hope your body proves you wrong this time xx

 

[co_fostermom]

I'm so sorry Laurabub.

 

[Skyye]

Well this mornings test has just confirmed what I already knew. Knew it from the first test because of how faint in was. Can't imagine this ever happening for me now. 4th time this year. Don't even know how to feel this morning. Just feeling numb right now.

I’m so sorry... don’t be sad it’s all gonna be okay, we all know exactly how you feel, most of us more than others because they all have been trying for YEARS. It’s so disappointing and depressing. One day we all will succeed..

 

[Pending]

So the strangest thing has been happening for the past week and not sure if it could be a sign.

I’ve had a bunch of soreness inside my mouth and swelling of my gums and under my tongue. It’s the worst when I wake up in the morning so I thought my mouth guard was causing it (night time jaw clenched here ), but then I slept without it last night and I’m as swollen as ever today.

It feels like I’ve eaten way too much salt, and the inside of my lips is feeling a bit rough. It’s so swollen I’ve been accidentally biting the inside of my lip and cheek more than usual as well.

I’m 10 dpo today, and it started on Sunday, when I was 4 dpo, which should be way too early to have any kind of symptoms, but it’s just all so weird.

Thoughts ladies? Could it just be my dust allergies acting up big time? Or a virus?

I have had sore teeth and gums last month and this month a few days before AF. They even bled once when I was brushing. It is crazy what our bodies do during the tww! Last month I got AF, but I also had sore gums when I was pregnant so who knows! Could be a sign for you!

Edit: haven't got af yet this month...supposed to start tomorrow

 

[Deethehippy]

I can see it Skye, cant wait to see more tests! Good luck!

 

[Bump288]

11-12 dpo , AF due tomorrow but BFN this morning. temps still look good but can easily dip tomorrow ... feeling defeated today. It took almost 4 years to have my first and I don’t think I have it in me to do it again.

 

[Suggerhoney]

No denying it!!!

Yay hon congratulations fantastic

 

[Beccaboo828]

Yay hon congratulations fantastic

Thank you!! I've got a scan booked for the 27th. It can not get here fast enough Haha x

 

[wantingagirl]

Ugh that's not fair. Let's hope your body proves you wrong this time xx

thanks hun but I doubt it after 7 losses and not once. Month 5 with full abstinence from drinking seems to be doing the trick xx

 

[wantingagirl]

I’ve not been tracking at all maybe I’ll buy opks Monday haven’t even dtd yet!

 

[Suggerhoney]

Thank you!! I've got a scan booked for the 27th. It can not get here fast enough Haha x

Omg hon I really hope it comes around really fast for you. I'm so excited for you. Xx

 

[USAFWife319]

So sorry Laura!
Afm boobs are extremely tender like I have to have a bra on all the time and they still are killing me! Still super bloated and can’t hold my tummy in like normal. Cm is there but not as much as normal. I have another odd thing like some other ladies. I’ve still had a lot of mucus and this morning when blowing my nose had some blood. Only time I’ve had a bloody nose in my life is during pregnancy. Thinking I’ll test in the morning since AF is due the 12th or 13th. If it’s negative I’ll wait until then to test again

 

[Teafor2]

@Pineberry I'm due for af either Tuesday or Wednesday, so I’ll test Thursday if she doesn’t show (and if I can hold out). I was thinking I’d take some allergy medication tonight before bed to rule out allergic reaction as the cause, and I’ve made an appointment with my GP to get it checked out next week.

A good friend of mine just started ttc in October and has just told me she’s 8 weeks pregnant. I’m over the moon excited for her and I’m really hoping we can go through our pregnancies and maternity leaves together. I just can’t believe they got pregnant their first month trying and here we are 6 months later. Especially because, like @Pineberry said, dh and I live such healthy lifestyles.

 

[Lightning7]

Sounds promising @USAFWife319 fx for your test!

@Lunabelle welcome and good luck with your testing, fx for you!

@Pineberry I'm with you on the low libido so TTC is annoying for me but for us DH is the opposite so he's pretty happy!
Try not to be too discouraged, my Dr told me when we were planning to start TTC our first that the average for a healthy fertile couples first baby is 6 months TTC which surprised me as I thought it wiuld be quicker! For me it happened 2nd cycle that time around, had a MC then waited a month to heal and conceived 1st cycle we tried with my son. But i have a friend younger than me who it takes 6 months each time

I read recently that even if you time it perfectly there is still only a 15% chance of conceiving each cycle!

7 dpo and this TWW is killing me. If I’m not pregnant, my body is just mean. Ive had cramping since 5dpo and sore breasts for a few days. Yesterday we rode a Christmas train and i was so nauseous which never happens that I couldn’t even eat dinner. I also have been fumbling my words and have forgotten people’s names like crazy at these holiday parties we have been at. That isn’t like me at all, except when I was in my 3rd trimester last time. I’m so worried it is going to be another chemical. That really broke me more than I expected. Thinking of everyone and praying!
