*December Snowflakes* testing thread

[HalfricanMa]

Sorry for those negatives @tdog and @MrsKatie. Hopefully bfps all around soon!
I’m only 2dpo and I’m ready to test so I dont blame you!
I had some light cramping throughout the day. Otherwise, just waiting out the tww clock.
Good luck everyone about to test!

@MrsKatie woman after my own heart have everything crossed for you xx

@HalfricanMa good luck praying for them lines for you xx

Afm done tests this morn and have really bad line eye, but I no they negative so just going to wait for af to arrive now xx

Sorry to hear about the negatives. Hopefully just too early.

I find BBT a good way of tracking ovulation, however this cycle my temps are all over the place. My OPK never got a true positive but was close one morning. I woke up to brown blood this morning at 3 dpo. Also spotted a few days before ‘ovulation’. 3 dpo is way too early for implantation bleeding so no idea what’s going on?!

To be honest, I’m still not sure if I have ovulated or not. My temp went up yesterday to confirm ovulation but back down today. The not knowing is so frustrating. I received donation on the day I think I ovulated so if I have - I’m in with a good chance. I will OPK test later today and I’m hoping second line will have really faded to indicate my LH isn’t rising.

I think I have ovulated as having light cramping which I wouldn’t normally have before ovulation.

@Beeka Fingers crossed you ovulated at the right time when ttc out bodies like to do weird and wonderful things all these things we don't notice like me with heartburn I never get heartburn unless I'm pregnant but past 2 cycles been getting really bad heartburn xx

I was thinking this the other day about the forum, even new threads been made can't access onto them either xx

Good luck @Beeka hopefully the timing was great! I’m also 3dpo so we’ll be testing together.
Dh and I babydanced twice on ovulation but since he had to leave for work stuff, the only time before that was 4 and 5 days before ovulation. In with a chance for sure though! My opk was negative and the advanced was just high at 8am but at 10am i felt O pain and got a positive and peak. My temp chart looks right.
@tdog that heartburn of yours really threw me off. Along with some tests that i must have had line eye, idk, i thought last cycle was your take home baby. Btw, have you tried taking a good quality baking soda for that heartburn? Not arm & hammer because that stuff is toxic. A freshly mined baking soda works amazing for heartburn. I dont get it often, but my husband does and he tried everything! Once he uses that it’s gone within 10 min.

 

[MrsKatie]

8dpo lots of bfns
I am feeling so sad about my losses today. Especially the one last month.

 

[tdog]

@HalfricanMa sounds like you have your bases coved so can't wait to see tests from you soon I haven't tried any baking soda full fat coke normally helps tbh (shouldn't really have as I'm diabetic) xx

@MrsKatie I really want to reach in and give you a massive hug so sorry you feel this way, I to get days where I think of the what ifs then my crazy children run wild and realise I'm so blessed to have this little monkeys xx

 

[MrsKatie]

@tdog you are so right, I am beyond blessed and it’s good to redirect my focus when I get those bummed out moments. Currently at the playground with the kids looking at snow on Mauna Kea, it’s spectacular.

How amazing that view must be I no it doesn't take the pain away tho as we will always long for those ones we have lost xx

Afm I'm now spotting my usual couple days before af just wiped and it's brown (never start like that apart from last month) so onto next cycle hopefully these threads get sorted xx

 

[HalfricanMa]

Im sorry for your pain @MrsKatie but that refocus toward little wins is a good way to fake a smile until a real one emerges. Good luck this cycle!
Sorry it seems like af is coming @tdog. You know your body. Im with you hoping b&b glitches are fixed soon. I didnt anticipate the malfunctions lasting so long.

 

[tdog]

@HalfricanMa thanks hun it is what it is I supose I no we ntnp but still gutting yea i didn't think be so long either needing proper threads back instead been stuck in December xx

 

[HalfricanMa]

4dpo, lots of creamy cm, light cramps off & on, and temp is looking decent. Im hopeful & anxious to test but catching on the 2nd ovulation seems so unlikely.
Oh and i really really want to test already! Tww will feel long for sure.

 

[tdog]

Tww always drags fingers crossed they are all good signs for you xx

No full on af for me yet but there's time I have really bad af backache this morn xx

Sounds really promising! I hope this is the cycle! I’m also cycle number 2 trying.

Today I’m 5 dpo. I had spotting at 3 and 4 dpo.
Super super light spotting and only when I wiped once each day. This is odd for me. Some light cramping. Boobs are sore. Tired. But these are usual post ov symptoms for me. However - I have a feeling that this is the cycle! I usually always feel out but feel different this cycle! I’m sure a ‘feeling’ doesn’t count as a symptom though! Roll on test day!! It’s taking sooo long! I will test from 7dpo. When do you plan to test?
