**December SnowFlakes Testing Group**(praying for Christmas BFPs)

[NDH]

My internet is being wonky land not loading anyone's pics right now but good luck to everyone posting vvf lines. Hopeful for progression for all of you.

Ellybean I am sorry about the spotting. I'm hoping it's implantation bleeding from the baby settling in instead of the beginning of AF

I can't keep my eyes open again. Nausea this morning again before eating, and extra hungry like need food right away kind of thing! I don't usually eat in the mornings either.. I've been out shopping all day now I've finally sat down I might have to have a nap lol

@Ellybean I'm suprised those tests aren't showing more after the frers you posted. Xx

Sorry you aren't feeling well, but hopefully it's for a very good reason!!! Oooo I know you still have a few days until you start testing, but I can't wait! I'm so impatient lol

@jellybeanxx

@NDH Oh no! I feel like I missed something. Did your temp go down today?!?! I was so hoping that you ovulated a few days ago when you got that higher temp. I'm always a late ovulator (Cd19-22 on average) so that's normal for me, but I know it has to be annoying when you aren't used to it. I hope you ovulate soon.

Yeah yesterday's temp was way down again and today it's back up. My chart is awful

Ik ow FF doesn't like temps to be more than hour different, but with only a couple of outliers mine are all within an hour and a half. I just can't do alarms.
Even when I was charting while breastfeeding all night and getting no sleep I had better charts than this .

Oh my gosh that is a wild chart! Within an hour and a half your swings shouldn't be that big.... Did you ever try to use that temp adjuster thing? Just to see if it can help even that out a little?

Do you use OPKs or track CM/cervical position? Just seeing if you had any signs of ovulation around December 3rd. Because your temps after that are higher. But those big dips are throwing me off for sure and are so strange. I'm so sorry it is so frustrating and confusing!

 

[Ellybean]

SMU 5 hour hold. I did have to let the pee sit in a cup for a couple hours while I went out and got the tests and ran errands. Idk if that can effect things.

I see a faint line on the second picture, but I'm having trouble making it out on the first one. But I think it's just the lighting.

How many dpo are you at this point?

 

[jellybeanxx]

@NDH do you use a bbt thermometer? Just wondering if there might be an issue with it, could be worth trying a different one? That’s a very rocky chart and an hour or two either way shouldn’t make your temps jump about that much. Hope you get it figured out soon! I love chatting and have done it for years and years now but sometimes it causes more stress!

@Ellybean I can still see a faint line but it does look fainter, have you had a lot to drink this morning? Tests can be fainter when you’re really well hydrated!

 

[S_Dowd]

Oh my gosh I feel awful right now. I'm so dizzy and I feel motion sick nauseous. I feel like I've been reading in the car. It hit me all of a sudden this afternoon hard. I'm hoping it's a good sign, but who knows at this point.

For those of you that have been pregnant before, can morning sickness nausea feel like being car sick??? This is such a weird feeling.

I’m 11dpo now. I’m thinking if I were pregnant then it would be darker by now.
@jellybeanxx i had a fair amount to drink before bed I suppose.

 

[josephine3]

@S_Dowd yeah Id say so, for me at least its not been feeling sick in the traditional sense, like needing to actually throw up it's more of a dizzy-sick feeling or empty feeling like I was describing earlier. I used to eat haribo to help when I was pregnsnt lol x

 

[josephine3]

@Ellybean hcg does deteriorate after its been sat out but not by loads I don't think x

 

[ehjmorris]

Oh so much to catch up on!

first of all @NightFlower I am so sorry and I hope it’s not, sending so much love

@S_Dowd yes for me that’s what nausea feels like! I actually had some last night too!

@Ellybean can’t see anything sorry love, goodluck for your next test

@NDH wow crazy chart, I’m hopeless with them that’s why I gave up charting plus it’s a lot to remember to take thermometer before getting up for me haha

@josephine3 ooh symptoms sounds too! How many dpo are you now?

Now that I’ve caught up on this page lol I will go back and read the rest.

afm I am 9dpo according to Premom app
And I tested last night and thought I saw a squinter but you know frer

so I tested this morning smu and fmu was at 4am and half asleep so didn’t remember , I prefer smu anyway and I have another line and a little more clearer for me in person but still very very faint

please let this be it and not lose again

 

[jellybeanxx]

@ehjmorris ooh I do see something! Fx for you!

@S_Dowd yes very much like car sickness for me! I tend to get randomly very dizzy in the early days too and then hit with a queasy feeling. That was the first symptom I remember the day before testing positive with my second baby, I was walking the dog and everything suddenly started spinning!

 

[tdog]

@ehjmorris I see that oh oh fxd it starts getting darker for you xx

 

[thencomesbebe]

@S_Dowd and @jellybeanxx I hope your tests get darker!! Sending you sticky baby energy!

@Suggerhoney big hugs my friend. TTC is so hard and stressful at times, taking a break is a really good idea if it's wearing you down mentally and emotionally.

@ehjmorris ohhhhh I see that line!!! I can't wait for your next test!

We just got moved in to our new place, boxes are EVERYWHERE. Omg. I managed to unpack the bathrooms and my son's room yesterday. My fertile window is supposed to be starting around today but I've been too busy to bother with opks. We have so much going on, I don't know if we will get the energy to DTD at the right time this month! I will keep you all updated but at this point I just want to work on making our new apartment feel like home. I will stick around with you all to cheer you on, but I will most likely end up in the January testing group.

 

[josephine3]

Oooh @ehjmorris I totally see that!! Feel like I missed your last post but that looks really good to me!

Im only 5dpo but its likely I'll test stupid early lol, probably tomorrow but I'm going to not use any expensive ones till at least 8dpo so I'm not wasting them. I've got quite a stash this month

 

[S_Dowd]

@ehjmorris Ooooo I see that line!!!!!!! Hoping and praying it keeps getting darker for you!

@thencomesbebe Oh wow you have a lot on your plate and right before Christmas too! I hope you can get your new home feeling homey and lovely very soon!

I haven't given the temp adjustor a try yet. I fin I so difficult to use from my phone and don't have access a computer.
I have only been temping as for me ovulation is generally pretty straightforward and temping was just supposed to be for confirmation. I didn't want to be obsessively analysing every sign as that puts me into stress mode. But clearly that backfired cause this is more stressful lol.
Without the weird temperatures I would have been sure the third was ovulation day. I usually get mittleshmertz and had really really strong ovary cramps that day among other things.

If I do change cd14 to the higher temp after going back to sleep for two hours it does still give me crosshairs so I think I'm going to go ahead and change my chart and see what happens.

@NDH do you use a bbt thermometer? Just wondering if there might be an issue with it, could be worth trying a different one? That’s a very rocky chart and an hour or two either way shouldn’t make your temps jump about that much. Hope you get it figured out soon! I love chatting and have done it for years and years now but sometimes it causes more stress!

Im orally temping with a brand new easy @ home BBT. I charged for years but haven't charted at all since the cycle I conceived my 4 year old twins. This is definitely not a typical chart for me at all and I'm not sure if it's related to having a D&C in October that's has thrown me out of whack or if something else is going on

@NDH wow crazy chart, I’m hopeless with them that’s why I gave up charting plus it’s a lot to remember to take thermometer before getting up for me haha

Im proud of myself for remembering to temp every day (except the one day my thermometer was missing). It's usually a struggle for me too, hence why I haven't charted in almost 5 years lol. But I do generally like it and don't normally find it stressful when I get clear signs like I'm supposed to...

I see the line! Sending sticky dust
