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

[sallyhansen76]

I had lots to catch up on, and I am sorry AF got so many of you.
I am equally as sorry that so many are struggling emotionally. I know that feeling all too well, and so I sympathise. I am wishing you all BFP'S and strength to get through the next leg of your journeys.

I know it isn't much but we are all here together and I am thinking of each and every one of you. -xxx-

@thencomesbebe Wow you have done a lot of work! Your home is coming together nicely and looks so lovely and cozy!

@Ellybean I'm so sorry AF came. I know you must be crushed after those stupid FRERs got your hopes up. My heart goes out to you 

@ehjmorris Oh honey I'm so sorry. LITTC is so hard. And for me the first couple of years were the worst until this year. Take all the time you need

@josephine3 I see something on that FRER, but after what happened to Elly, I don't trust it.

@Becomeamum Welcome to the thread!

@sallyhansen76 Thank you so much for the kind words. And know that while I am sad that this wasn't my month, I am overjoyed that it was yours! I hope everything is going well so far.

 

[sallyhansen76]

Thanks @S_Dowd Things seem to be progressing nicely. I am really trying hard not to panic or feel much right now. Sort of like in a TWW we hope but don't really know. I feel sort of like that. With 7 losses, early pregnancy is .....a waiting game in a sense.

Symptom wise, honestly can't say I've had much. My breasts are definately sore and heavy but otherwise, feels very normal for me right now.

 

[MrsKatie]

@NightFlower thinking of you, any new tests??

 

[MrsKatie]

@S_Dowd oh no im so sorry AF got you

@ehjmorris sending love sweetie

huge hugs everyone

 

[josephine3]

So I just did a random afternoon test on whim, I don't trust these one steps but I do see a line!

 

[MrsKatie]

@josephine3 i see what you’re seeing. Oh man so exciting…fx fx fx

 

[sallyhansen76]

@josephine3 ohhh I see it too, seems pink. In person do you see the pink? So exciting.

@NightFlower Wow those tests are great lines. Hopefully you had just some heavy implantation bleeding and bean is snuggled in well.

 

[S_Dowd]

@sallyhansen76 Oh gosh 7? I'm so so sorry. I've only had one, it was super early, and I am still having a hard time with it 3 months later. I definitely understand you taking it day by day right now. I do hope and pray that everything continues progressing and goes well for you.

@josephine3 I see that line! Oh your tests are looking so promising! I hope this is it for you!!!!

 

[littlewitch]

NightFlower --I am so hopeful for you. Please update us about betas or how you are doing as you can. I hope this is it for you

Josephine3--I hope your lines continue to progress.

AFM, today is 7 or 8 dpo. I may take a Wondfo tonight. Even though it will likely be negative. With pregnancy, I usually get a positive at 10 dpo or later.
And on a positive note, my husband is back on board in his own way. He says it makes him happy to not protect ever. He says he wants to continue to give me everything. So, looks like he will continue to give me chances out of pure desire, but doesn't want to TTC persay. He doesn't want to know fertile window stuff, but says he would be happy if I did fall pregnant. That's a Christmas miracle in my eyes.

 

[sallyhansen76]

@littlewitch happy OH is on board Merry CHristmas indeed!

My husband is the same. He doesn't want sex to feel like obligation and only wants to conceive a baby out of love and passion, so he doesn't want to TRY. So I just keep all the tracking to myself and have to keep things spicy lol.

So glad your husband is on board with this not being your last chance.

 

[thencomesbebe]

Well, it looks like O may be on the way shortly, so maybe I'm in with a chance??? Only disappointed because we probably won't be able to BD on O day since I will be away for a work training...here is this morning's LH test. I think the surge will probably be tonight or tomorrow, as I am finally getting some rest. What do you think??

Congratulations to all the BFPs!
@NightFlower keeping everything crossed for you. I had some very heavy implantation/random bleeding with my last pregnancy (she just turned 1)- I presumed it was an early loss as it was very period like- maybe 5-7 days in total, pink to bright red to brown, streaks and small clots etc. But tests kept getting stronger. It started bang on 9dpo. I hope all is going to be okay
@Suggerhoney sorry this month is out I know you're very worried about declining fertility etc, and I know it's a factor in general, but try to remember that nothing happens instantly, even going in to peri-menopause is a years long process, and with bodies there's very very rarely ever some sudden point when everything changes. Your body doesn't know your birthday and nothing changes between the last night of being 42 and the first day of being 43! Just like nothing actually changes when you become 35, though the health system suddenly treats you differently (well, in the UK) I think you have great chances of falling pregnant and having a baby.

Does anyone have any experience with having 2 clear LH surges in one month? I seem to be getting this pattern every month. It's like my body gears up to ovulate firstly at about CD 10-12. OPKs start getting dark, but not quite positive; occasionally get fertile CM, more 'in the mood' and some cramps sometimes too. But it's only like...75% there. Then tests fade, and nothing happens until really late- CD 20-23. Then it seems I properly ovulate- I think- lots of EWCM, OPKs v.dark and quick to develop, husband looks like the greatest and sexiest man alive...
But that's so late isn't it! Way too late, that's a luteal phase defect. And what's happening at CD 10, and why? I HATE body mysteries!

 

[josephine3]

@littlewitch that's great news that oh is up for ntnp!! I'm 8dpo too and already testing lol
@Fuschia1412 sometimes I don't ov till cd 19 either x

 

[josephine3]

Uhhh I need to stop testing so early... I already can't stop poas and I'm getting cross with myself! I may not test at all tomorrow and just save myself the stress. I did a cb early and another wondfo tonight. By the time it gets to a better dpo I will run out of tests at this rate!! Someone needs to hide them from me!!
I'm not sure if I see anything on either...
I keep convincing myself because the tests aren't bfp yet then I can't be pregnant, but my boobs tell me otherwise lol. Im gonna be so broken if I'm not this cycle, it really feels like I should be if that makes any sense.

 

[jellybeanxx]

@S_Dowd oh no! I was so hopeful for you lovely I hope it’s finally your turn soon!

@ehjmorris sorry to read about the spotting, hope full on AF stays away still though! How are you feeling?

I’m genuinely considering setting up the Jan thread already (unless it’s already been done…?!) I need to feel like I’m looking forward!

 

[josephine3]
