***December Testing thread - hoping for a Christmas Miracle***

[ciz]

I’m sorry @Deethehippy & @Mum42crazy .
Yay for crosshairs @MadamRose! They are exciting aren’t they?!

I hope O doesn’t make you wait too much longer @topazicatzbet.

@ciz that sure looks like an early bfp! That gets darker!!!

I am going to test Tuesday. It’s my due date and I’ll be 8dpo. I know I said no more testing early but I think I get a pass for this one. Even if I get lines I can’t get excited because I always get lines. But maybe?

Thanks lovely. I hope so too. Sending you lots of luck for Tuesday

 

[MadamRose]

@Jessie7003 any luck with your test today?

 

[MadamRose]

Testing seems to ramp up from tomorrow lots of tests coming in quick succession - hopefully we get some nice early Christmas Soon!!

Hi ladies.

Sorry I've not been around much just been feeling down since that telephone appointment and with what the doctor told me.
He really has stripped so much of my hope away and I dought I will be getting that scan or bloodtest or consultant appointment any time soon

I forget to temp today but will start tomorrow CD11. I know its late but I've been doing my cheapie OPKs for a few days now and all negative. Today's was quite dark but still not positive. I started the CB 4 day fertile opk today and got a open circle so low fertility at the moment but I'm only on cd 10 and didn't ovulate until cd15 last cycle so still have a few days left yet.
No EWCM just yet either just watery.

Not feeling hopful at all thanks to that doctor but I really really hope and prey this will finally be my month.

Please Jesus bring me a blazing Christmas BFP

Definitely don’t give up hope. Keep up with the clear blue. Mine went from low to peak with no flashing this cycle.

I know it’s hard but try not to let the doctor get to you definitely won’t help you with TTC. Good luck and hopefully you get a nice sticky bean!

 

[Suggerhoney]

@ciz
I see it hon. I hope it gets darker.
Good luck.

@Mum42crazy
So sorry hon was so hoping this was ure month.

Sorry to all those that the caught

Good luck to all those with faint lines, hope they get darker.

And to all those waiting to test sending baby dust and also loads of baby dust to everyone waiting to ovulate

Thank you hon. Did u just do one test a day with the CB? Its weird how u have to test with FMU where as with the strips u have to test later.
I thought I broke the CB at first because I ajected the stick to early but quickly stuck it back in and I think its OK lol.

Just want this to be my month so much so I won't need any of them tests

Keep positive, Keep going lovely, you are definitely not out, I have faith it’ll happen for you

Yes just once a day - I did it more the first month I used it and got peak about 5 days before the real thing. I think because it measures 2 hormones it needs to be the morning. I totally get it good luck hopefully you see some flashing faces soon!

When does everyone start using opks? I only have 10, cd7 just now. Normally got a 28 day cycle but last months was 32 days and I had a chemical the month before that so I really don’t know.

Id be tempted to order more. I take 3 or 4 a day when I’m getting close to my peak! I started CD5 this time as didn’t want to risk missing peak - I normally peak on CD13 but actually peaked on CD11 this time

 

[Rach87]

Yay @ciz I see that easy without zooming!

afm I tested today but a blazing bfn. Been feeing off the last couple days so thought maybe. Af isnt due for another 4/5 days so Im not totally disheartened yet.

Excited for the testing to ramp up with everyone! Eek!

sorry for the ladies in ttc limbo, so frustrating!

 

[wannanewbaby]

Coming over from the November thread, im 1 dpo today (just going by app dont temp) will be testing dec 15 if I dont cave before then. Good luck everyone!! Very hopeful this month its 2nd month ttc.

Tbh it’s not going to make a difference to the timing of sex, it’s only our second month officially ttc and we were only ntnp for 2 months before that (and even then, we did use contraception/withdrawal a few times) one of those months I got pregnant. So I am not wanting to stress it too much as I know we are pretty fertile.

Df doesn’t want us to go down the stressful ttc route, mainly because we have ended up pregnant 5 times now, twice when actively trying to prevent, twice when “seeing what happens” and being lax with the pull out method/natural family planning, and once when we mistimed my fertile time. So he thinks we will just get pregnant quickly and easily. Our first pregnancy was 10 years ago and our last (before the chemical) was 6 years ago.

Yes that makes a lot of sense sounds like things will happen quickly for you

Got a positive OPK today on CD16 which is the earliest I have ovulated the whole 15 months TTC! Hoping this is a positive sign and also I’ll be testing a few days earlier than I originally thought.
I normally don’t ovulate until at least CD 20/21 got my progesterone suppositories ready to start on Tuesday night then settling in for another TWW

 

[Bevziibubble]

Good luck

So my easy@home tests arrived today so of course had a pee on one to check the batch and thankfully as white as snow no evap line either. Had a conversation with my husband and told him what happened so he’s been away at work all week (explained the early ovulation) he seemed to take it better than what I thought but we both know if this does result in a positive pregnancy then I really will have to give up my career for a while. Not sure how I feel about it. Financially I’m not sure how we will cope but I’m sure we will manage. Going from 3-4 seems like such a huge deal in my head. I feel a little panicked but we shall see. I always believe things happen for a reason so just need to wait. My test from today......4/5dpo

Glad hubby too it okay. Why would it mean putting your career on hold? And hopefully you get your answer over the next few days - when did you get BFP with the others? When is your AF due?
