*December Snowflakes* testing thread

[NightFlower]

Good news is I got my E@H tests in the mail today for next cycle. I'm happy about that. Have some 10miu tests coming also.

Hey ladies. Sorry I know I’m always posting tests but would you mind looking at these? So I’m 20dpo and everything online is saying that they really should be darker than this. What do you think? Should I give up hoping? Cleaning and found some that hubby missed

 

[HalfricanMa]

@3boys I think the comparisons of positives gets nerve wrecking and only produces stress. Those tests look great. Good luck
@shaescott heightened sense of smell is one of my first signs of pregnancy also. Hot flashes is always my very first and I only get them when pregnant or engorged. Good luck!
@NightFlower sounds like your prepared with a nice stash. I would lime to get 10s but havent decided which brand. I feel like really they all have worsened in their quality.

@3boys I think you’re good. Even at 5-6 weeks my Pregmate and easy@home tests looked exactly like yours. That toddler is tearing up the house as we speak. I truly believe that baby is thriving in there

 

[NightFlower]

Af just arrived on time. I'll be testing again at thr end of December. Good luck ladies still testing.

@NightFlower massive xx

@3boys some tests are really not great for getting dark at all my premoms I had were rubbish basically like your never got really dark at all xx

 

[shaescott]

@3boys your tests look great to me! And they look darker than 1-2 weeks to me as well
@halfrican the sense of smell I think is only slightly heightened. Yesterday I could smell the litter box despite changing it the day before and having the air purifier on next to it, which is not at all normal, it smelled like poop. Ick. Idk though, could be coincidental.
@NightFlower I’m sorry about AF

I’m also noticing I’ve had a runny nose for the past few days and I’m like hmmmm increased mucous production??? Or I just am getting a cold lol. Or it’s cuz it’s 20 degrees outside.

 

[shaescott]

The “you’re definitely not pregnant” dread has arrived a few days early because my CM switched to scant and watery which always happens a few days before my period. Boo. I’m 8dpo so my progesterone really shouldn’t be dropping yet (which scant watery CM is often a sign of in the later luteal phase) but who knows. I wish there was an EPF (early pregnancy factor) test, then we could know way sooner that we conceived… but to be fair it would result in a lot more grief due to failed implantations.

@shaescott when are you planning on testing? If you are the 'pregnancy' cold as I call it was another of my signs for me I have everything crossed for you xx

Yeah I’ve got swollen lymph nodes and a mild sore throat, so I might actually just be getting sick, but if I’m lucky it will be from pregnancy immune suppression. I took a test for funsies tonight but my urine was super diluted with no hold hahaha so I knew it would be negative, I just had to scratch the itch. I’ll definitely test in the morning, but only 9dpo.

@3boys Your lines look great!

 

[autumnal]

@3boys I think they look good. Do you have any painful cramps or gas pains?

No all my symptoms would be “good” ones. Peoples perfume makes me gag, really tired etc. but I’ve booked a doctors appointment for tomorrow.

 

[shaescott]

@3boys I’m glad you’re getting in to be seen, hopefully you can get some reassurance!

9dpo today, BFN. I woke up definitely sick. I’ve had much worse colds, but all I want to do is sleep. I thought about taking a bath but was afraid I’d fall asleep in the tub. I looked up if it was safe to take DayQuil during implantation, and it said that the phenylephrine can constrict blood vessels which could prevent implantation. So I guess I just have to rough it out, at least until AF arrives. I’m cuddled up in a recliner drinking coffee for now, but I expect that once I finish it, I’ll be taking another nap.

Oh boy, hopefully you get a BFP and not AF for Christmas!

My virus is worsening, I now have back and hip pain my mom thinks I might have the flu. I also have a low grade temp of 99.6F, so I guess my BBT spike today was likely illness related. Ugh.
