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

[Bevziibubble]

Sending positive vibes to everyone, especially those who got AF.

My opks have been super dark for ten days . I'm concerned that my body tried to ovulate but didn't. I called my doctor and I'll have some blood tests this weekend to see what's going on. I am hoping for the best while emotionally and mentally trying to prepare myself for the worst. The TWW is that much more difficult when your BBT says one thing and different brands of opks and fertility monitors say another.


Baby dust to all!

.
Welcome to the thread and good luck!

I wouldn’t say normal, no.

September-October cycle - period arrived 24/9. Negative test on 22/10, positive tests on 24/10 and 26/10, negative test on 28/10 and af arrived on 29/10 (cd 35 of normal 28 day cycle, but I was obviously pregnant briefly)

October-November cycle - period on 29/10. Negative pregnancy tests on 22/11, 24/11, 28/11 and af arrived on 30/11 (cd 32 of normal 28 day cycle) - bleeding only lasted two days.

Stopped bleeding 1/12, bleeding again today 10/12.

This feels more like a real period than the bleeding I had at the end of last month. I had the worst PMS ever - I haven’t been on this much because I’ve not stopped crying for two days, I literally went to my bed at 8pm on Tuesday and Wednesday night because I didn’t want to be anywhere near my family. Basically, I acted like a teenager. I argued with df. I’m bloated and my skin and hair have been extra oily. I’ve had a killer headache and I’ve been tired.

It’s actually felt quite a lot like early pregnancy, I’ve even had crazy dreams. I’ve tested again and I’m not pregnant.

.
They sound like promising signs but I'm sorry about the bfn. Good luck for your next test

 

[Bevziibubble]

Cd 18 now this best end up positive later. Currently on nights and test at 8pm was beset positive. I might test later in the night to check. Wonder if I might peak in the night, luckily i am awake to check.

.
Fingers crossed for you!

One test I don't mind getting a negative on.

I now have the joy of testing twice a week for covid. The joy of being a front line worker.

Glad that one was a negative!

 

[KatVM]

Tested negative today but I’m only DPO 7. Period is due in 4 days! Hoping my negative turns positive. Tried acupuncture and cupping this cycle.

The Chinese medicine doctor also said “warm feet lead to a warm uterus”. She suggest wearing warm socks especially at night or laying my feet on a heating pack.

 

[MadamRose]

@loeylo sorry your body is messing you around it does sound like this is your true positive.

@Lozb I hope you get your positive OPK soon. I know it’s been holding off on you.

@KatVM I’ve heard having warm feet is meant to be better for you when TTC as it helps with blood flow.

@SuperwomanTTC sorry your cycle seems to be messing you around hope you get some answer soon and good luck

Hey everyone just checking in! Hopefully some BFPs coming to this thread soon!
Just wrapping up AF which was oddly not that heavy considering it was an early
miscarriage... definitely think there’s something up with my hormones. Monday the dr will call me and I can tell her about it.

O should be around Dec 19 for me so a bit away!

That's interesting about the warm feet..I may try that too! thank you and good luck to you!

Hugs to you..I'm so sorry you had this loss..it's so brutal..at least the bleeding wasn't too hideous. I hope that you O on time and that you get a lovely BFP for the New Year ahead


AFM - AF seems to be finally gone..very stop start at the end and my AF's definitely drag on more than they used to..hope my hormones are not too out of whack. Hoping to O by the 21st but will start the OPK's next week sometime.

 

[wannanewbaby]

@MadamRose I'm with @Deethehippy on this one.. I'm at 6 dpo and I'm ready now lol

@wannanewbaby I just noticed ur kiddos names. My son is Jaxon Ryder lol and we're testing around the same time.. maybe it'll bring us luck!

I hope your right!!!

 

[wannanewbaby]

6 dpo today only change is breast became sore last night, noticed when I rolled over in bed hurt for my arm to push on the sides of them. I experienced that last month but not till like 2 days before af. Told boyfriend were def testing Monday before he goes to work I will be 9 dpo

 

[Lozb]

We have a strong positive. Will hopefully do deed tonight and tomorrow morning and we did yesterday so that should cover all bases. I am not gonna temp as it takes over my life. Jst going to say 1dpo tomorrow as I normal O the next day at some point.

had some information about current vaccination being rolled out in Uk. Public health England are advising anyone not to have this current one if u are pregnant, plan on getting pregnant. To wait 3 months before falling pregnant (how do they then know 3 months is safe). I was all up for having it until I read this. I will not put any unborn baby at risk. I husband wasn’t to happy about my decision. I am not saying I will never have it jst want some more information regarding pregnancy. Also advised not to have if breastfeeding until more information is available. To be honest they dnt like pregnant breast feeding women to have a lot of drugs.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Yay!

That's a sensible decision

 

[Rach87]

@Reiko_ctu Glad af wasn’t to rough on you, I’ll be throwing all the baby dust at you for a sticky bun this cycle

@Lozb pharm companies aren’t allowed to do trials on pregnant women so they always have to warn against pregnant, breastfeeding women against taking it bc they have no data on possible side effects on baby. It’s always better to be safe than sorry though, wise decision

afm thinking those super faint lines were real bc these cramps are seriously brutal this af.

I know it’s still early in this month, but did anyone start a January testing thread yet? My next test date will be around Jan 5th.

 

[Sianylw]

Fingers crossed all on some BFPs in this group.

sorry AF is so brutal @Rach87

@Lozb great line there fx’d for you!

as for me. 12DPO -BFN
Clinic called and progesterone was 34 so it did show ovulation. I’ve bawled my eyes out... that after lots of meds this cycle and horrific mood swings that it wasn’t to be! Time to save up another £300 for the next cycle!

good luck all x

 

[MadamRose]

@wannanewbaby sore breasts must be a theme this month! My are agony. Like even what I walk around etc.

@Lozb glad you got a positive opk looks like you timed it well.

@Rach87 sorry your AF is so bad. Good luck next cycle.

@Sianylw you aren’t out until AF shows. Some pregnancies don’t implant until 12DPO.

As for me, my blood tests are at my doctors but I can’t be given them get as my doctor hasn’t looked at them. They have put me down from the on call doctor to check them tonight and ring me - I feel sick with nerves!

 

[Sianylw]

@MadamRose thanks hun but I think I’m out this cycle.

hope the doc gets a look at those blood results ASAP for you!! The waiting game sucks x

 

[Reiko_ctu]

@MadamRose good luck with the results tonight!! I wouldn’t feel too worried - not much with hormones they can’t help with if somethings amiss!!

I’m having a bit of a dilemma, because we’re not sure how we’re feeling about TTC anymore. Are we happy with our 3 or should we enter the chaos again? I know we wouldn’t regret having another but we’ve got 2 businesses to grow and tons of renovations to do on our house and homeschooling... all those things would be on the back burner if we have another baby. We are definitely going to try but it makes me wonder if I should be talking to the dr about my hormones or just let it be... if it’s meant to be it will be?? Ugh I don’t know. We’re so happy with our family already I don’t want to go thru all sorts of tests or medication to be able to keep a pregnancy...

The vaccine causes infertility in men and women its absolutely disgusting there allowing this to happen.

I truly believe the virus was man made for population control and the vaccine is also for population control.
I'm not having it and neither is my husband.

So happy u finally got a positive ovulation test.
Good luck catching the eggy

Hi hon with my last chemical in October my bleeding wasn't that heavy either.
Very odd because with the other chemicals in April June and July the bleeding was horrific and the pain was bad with big clots.
Was fully expecting that again with the October one.
But my last AF after the chemical was very heavy painful with clots.
Don't think it was another chemical because all i got was but wondering if I still had bits left behind from the chemical.
Was strange .


AFM

Cd15 we managed to bd again last night and again today.
Had a sharp twinge in right over yesterday evening and nothing since.
Still had ewcm this afternoon but now its a bit thicker and snotty, but clear. Yuck lol.
Temp went up but not a great deal.
Hoping for a big rise tomorrow.
Cervix was very high yesterday but now its back to being lower and firm.
I mite be 1dpo today or tomorrow just need a few more days of raised temps to confirm ovulation.

We have bded for the last 4 days and twice yesterday so I really really hope we stand a good chance. And we get a Christmas miracle

@Suggerhoney Good luck!
