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

[littlewitch]

7 or 8 dpo on 3 hour hold. NOT FMU. Looks BFN, although I can easily see the indent on the easy@home, which is odd.
I don't "feel pregnant" this cycle but I will test every day until AF.

@Fuchsia1412 I didn't ovulate until cd22/23 this time round I'm normally between cd15-18 so not to late, when I've ovulated later I'm been pregnant it's strange how the body works good luck and fingers and toes tightly crossed xx

@littlewitch so glad dh isn't giving you so much whiplash this month and he playing ball fingers crossed for you xx

@thencomesbebe oh getting closer so hope you get to bd and catch the eggy xx

 

[thencomesbebe]

Watching my surge start and I feel good about it because we got to BD last night! I wonder if I might surge in the night tonight and O tomorrow?! It's exciting to think about because we can BD at least one more time before my work trip! Here's tonight's LH test

 

[Rach87]

@Fuchsia1412 I have multiple surges some months. The month I conceived my daughter i had 3+ surges. According to my + hpt and dating scans I conceived the day af was due. So its totally possible!! Shes now 7.5 yrs old

 

[Fuchsia1412]

Thanks for replies guys. That's interesting @tdog, that was super late!
And @Rach87 okay so it happens to others too, good to know, thank you!
@josephine3 I think it was you who said you ov late too ... Seems it's pretty common actually
We're not actually TTC right now, and OH would prefer it stayed that way indefinitely. ..but I feel like I'd like one more. Or at least I often do, other times I think... Don't be crazy, you have 5, think how hard everything is already! And yet.... The thought of never having another one makes me feel sad and a bit panicked. I feel like I just want to be able to peacefully say "okay this is the last...[pregnancy/labour/birth/baby etc]

 

[tdog]

@Fuchsia1412 I get that been there and now expecting #7 took alot to convince him I was still wanting that one more xx

Hi ladies, good to see so many lines on tests so far this month, wishing you all baby dust! Sorry to those with BFN or AF xx

My ovulation day is either yesterday or today as it's always CD 14/15 but I'm not temping this month as overseas in the UK for a holiday. We only BD once this cycle but on CD13 so should have a small chance.

I was wondering if any of you UK ladies have recommendations on the best cheap pregnancy tests to buy here as they don't have many options at home so want to take a stash home with me lol. I saw they have some at Poundland are they any good?

Last cycle was my first try of progesterone and I was a bit sad not to get one of my positive cycles like I have had so many of, but also a little relieved as I wouldn't of known what to do if it stuck because the progesterone pessaries would run out while we are away!

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas even though I know they are hard when TTC particularly if it's been a long time! My AF will be due around Christmas day as my last progesterone tab will be Christmas Eve if I don't have a positive so I guess it might have a large say in how I feel for Christmas this year! I will start testing on the 21st which will be around 8-9dpo.

 

[Lightning7]

Oh forgot to say @Suggerhoney big hugs for you wanted to give you some hope my mum fell pregnant with her last at 43 I have heard that with multiple children like you have and she had it is more likely than for ladies who have not had babies before. No idea if it's true but I am sure there is hope for you yet and I hope you have a lovely birthday and Christmas xx

 

[josephine3]

Right I'm literally doing one test today and that's it cos I don't want to run out. Used a one step with fmu. 9dpo.
Im loosing faith that a bfp will show up this cycle the only symptom I really have now is the huge sore boobs (not to keep banging on about them lol) and I do feel a bit more emotional like I could cry randomly but that's cos I'm scared it's never going to turn positive. I see something but I don't trust it still x

 

[josephine3]

@Lightning7 the clear and simple tests are good, usually in superdrug/savers/wilkinsons and £1 for a pack of 3 x

 

[tdog]

@Lightning7 yes @josephine3 already said one but I got stung by clear and simples before, the asda own brand I love, I use to love superdrugs also but they have changed them now over the years tbh the only ones I like are the ones can order of amazon, answer tests are great aswell use to be able to get them in savers xx

 

[jellybeanxx]

@Lightning7 Boots own brand early tests are really good, they’re like FRER but better and cheaper!

@josephine3 I see something too, 9DPO is still very early too!

 

[NDH]

I'm 10dpo and my temp dropped this morning and I'm feeling a bit crampy so I have a feeling I'll have to bid adieu to the idea of a summer baby

My parents come for a visit from Australia every June-September so an August/September baby would have been so ideal as they'd be here. Plus in Australia I had every season covered with birthdays, but because they seasons don't go by equinox in Australia they didn't all switch over evenly and now I don't have summer represented

 

[josephine3]

@NDH I'm the opposite I'd prefer a winter baby as I already have June and August. X

 

[josephine3]

@tdog what happened with the clear and simple? Iv always found them pretty good unless I'm really really staring lol

I had one with a faint line on then when took another it was darker but all other tests were negative at this point even frer was negative, I prob got a bad batch but never used them again after that xx

I’m hoping it’s an implantation dip for you but I totally relate to this! I was desperate for a spring/summer baby and not that’s never going to happen. Made me feel so sad!

 

[josephine3]

@jellybeanxx why never? Do you have a plan to stop ttc at a certain time? Xx

 

[josephine3]

I'm so crampy this afternoon and feeling tired and generally ill. Hoping it's a good sign I dunno x

I’m going to be 40 in March and we’ve been trying for 2 years now so I feel like if it doesn’t happen soon it’s never going to happen. I’d rather than wait to try for the sake of a birth month.
