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

[Bevziibubble]

Hey sorry I've not been posting and I have a lot to catch up on! I will try and read back but sorry to those who have had af arrive xx

I've had an odd cycle, spotted right up to CD20, and it was often just a small amount on wiping once a day. Very unusual. My opks never got darker than control only equal to it. This happened at CD17/18, (later than last month) then again at CD20/21. I never got loads of ewcm or any pains either.

I do see a pattern though. Every second month is wonky, like if I'm ovulating from my left side it's later. If it's the right side it's bang on time.

Also I switched vitamins this cycle so I wonder if that had anything to do with the spotting? Or delay? Who knows?!! Lol

So I'm poas crazy as usual and it will be too early...I do see a faint pink line on a frer but I don't trust them at all. Not even sure why i used it, I always seem to get lines on them! I should hold off testing until the weekend.

Good luck to those testing soon

Good luck for testing!

@Trying4BbyBoy I think I can see the start of something.

@BabyBrain80 its so hard not to test early especially when your cycle has been a bit crazy so you don’t know exactly what day to expect what.

 

[MadamRose]

Ladies who chart I know you do @Suggerhoney not sure who else does. It is normally for post ovulation temps to keep going up? I thought they’d rise then stay at a more stable level with some fluctuation. This is my chart today.

Currently feeling sick to my stomach about my blood test not sure how I’m going to wait so long for the results.

Hope it’s ok to join? . Had a frozen embryo transfer yesterday and test day is on the 20th December. Hoping for a Christmas rainbow miracle

 

[MadamRose]

@kittiecat definitely okay for you to join. Good luck

The phlebotomist said 7-10 days was ridiculous for my blood results and agreed progesterone is time sensitive if pregnant. She has put a read sticker on them which marks them as urgent she said results could be back tomorrow but definitely by Monday!

 

[Bevziibubble]

I hope that you get the results back ASAP!

 

[Lozb]

Still not positive this morning. Off to sleep now after night shift, back to work tonight.

 

[Trying4BbyBoy]

I think I see the start of something @Trying4BbyBoy - hopefully thats your boy making himself known!

@Rach87 Im hoping so hun :fingers crossed: I’m no stranger to chems I’m sorry about AF rearing it’s ugly head I feel like our test looks similar. Lots and lots of baby dust to you in this cycle

 

[Trying4BbyBoy]

Does anyone use the period tracker Flo from the google play store? I find it to be very accurate for tracking periods and ovulation.

Also, has anyone tried the Yoni Steam & Pearls? A lady I know swore by a Yoni steam she received at a spa, stating she conceived the next cycle! I was looking into them but there’s a variety of companies selling them, I’m still doing research. There’s reviews on YouTube that’ll make you question your insides lol.

Sorry that AF arrived @Rach87

good luck to everyone testing and I see the faint line.

hope those who are gearing up to O that it happens soon. Welcome to new members! :wave:

as for me I am completely deflated... looks like trigger shot is finally out of my system. 11 or 12 DPO and no lines for me. Really think I’m out and am really, really feeling so upset about it. After a whole cycle of meds, injections, bloated and enlarged ovaries it came to nothing! Still waiting on progesterone blood test results tang clinic and they aren’t back yet but have a crappy feeling that I didn’t ovulate even with all the meds. I’m 37 now and just thinking that maybe my time is up.

good luck everyone. Hope you get some great news soon x

 

[MadamRose]

@Sianylw so sorry. 11DPO could still be a little too early so don’t give up yet.

@Trying4BbyBoy apps are all out for me until I’ve use them for a few months as I ovulate late for someone with a cycle of my length.

I’m going to ring the doctors and see if they are back tomorrow. If not will ring Monday evening.

 

[Sianylw]

@MadamRose thanks hun but you know when you just know - that’s the feeling I have.

hope you don’t have too long of a wait for results hun x

@MadamRose
Please please please don't feel bad about feeling envy.
I'm gonna be totally honest with you but I get really jealous when I see women get there BFPs and only been trying for 5 minutes.
I feel happy for them but also do feel jealous because I want it so bad and where I've been trying for 10 months it feels like such a kick in the teeth.
I think most of us that have been trying for a long time feel that way but don't like to say.
So please don't think ure bad or anything hon its totally normal to feel jealous when someone gets that one thing u so desperately want.
Since I've been here I've seen so many women come and go. They get there BFPs and go to the pregnancy forums and we don't see them again.
Only a small few of the pregnant ladies pop back in from time to time which is nice but seeing how far in the pregnancy they now are or seeing when I go into other threads how far pregnant these women that were in these testing threads are now does make me feel sad that I'm still not pregnant.
Some are even about to give birth and I'm still stuck here in the testing threads.
It sticks.
Ure chart looks fantastic hon. Temps do rise after ovulation its the progesterone hon but if ure temps stay elevated it may be a good sign.
Fixed for you.

@kittiecat
Yay so glad ure here hon. Absolutely have everything crossed for you.

@Rach87 so sorry came hon.

@BabyBrain80
Oh hon I really hope those faint lines on Frer are the start of something. Really rooting for you.


@Trying4BbyBoy
I see something faint good luck

@Sianylw
Awww hon I really hope u get a BFP in the next few days. The saying goes ure not out until shows.

@Lozb
Urghhh how annoying. Ure on a very high dose of mecca so it mite be that delaying ovulation.
It delayed mine last cycle and again this cycle by 2 days. I'm on 1500mg.

Good luck to all the ladies testing or about to test. Good luck to those waiting to ovulate.

And sorry to all u that the got. Good luck next cycle.

I got my solid smiley today and my cheapies are also peak. We yesterday and today and will also BD tomorrow to.

My temp dropped today even though I slept well so wondering if ovulation will be today.
I have ovulated on peak day b4.
I normally get ovulation pain and not feeling much yet.
I will know by tomorrow because if I do today then temp will go up.


And I did a line progression with the Boots chrapies.

Will definitely BD tomorrow to then we wud if done all we can this cycle.

Still testing on the 22nd

 

[MadamRose]

@Suggerhoney thanks so much that makes me feel so much better. That’s definitely how I feel I’m elated for them but it’s also hard when I wanted it for so long. I wanted another when my DD2 for 3 and she’s now 7.

How soon do hormones kick in. Don’t want to read into things but I burst into tears at work today (thankfully before the children came in) and my boobs are so sore!

 

[Lozb]

I have woke up from nights really early, only have like 3 hrs sleep abs back tonight . Managed to bd when I woke up. Still not positive OPK at cd 17 but I wud normally get positives anywhere from 5pm so still time. It’s increased loads since yesterday. Even though I appear to gonna O late my test day is still ok coz I had give a date passed when af was due incase my LP was actually longer.

 

[LuvallmyH]

Bfn for me this morning. Waiting for
Good luck to everyone else testing in December!
