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

[loeylo]

@babybears25 got my fingers crossed for you!!!

@Lozb congratulations you’ve done so well and you deserve it

@GemmaG I’ve had a 24 days cycle for years now and it’s so annoying!!!

@Reiko_ctu sounds like you have made a sensible decision thought. Good luck for next month if you don’t try this month.

@wannanewbaby glad the bf is being supportive. We are all here if you need to talk.

@MinnieMcMoose sorry about the BFN


AFM - I’m not sure if I am going to have to break and tell my headteacher this week (annoying with two days left) I have a child with lots of complex needs and issues and he will often flip out without being able to control it. This week he seems to have take a disliking to me and on top of other things he’s caught me in the stomach 3 times this week. Sometimes he is just so fast you can’t protect yourself and I don’t think I’d forgive myself if something happened and I hadn’t told the headteacher so she can put more in place. I’m just annoyed I couldn’t do anything for the next two days as I did really want to wait until January when I’d had my first scan. I’m that confused about what to do/not do I’ve been up since 4am worrying. One of the reasons for not telling her is I’m not sure she’s going to take it well. I’m the last staff member any one will expect to be pregnant.

Firstly, a kick (even a hard one!) in the stomach at this stage is unlikely to do any harm, so try not to worry!
As a teacher, I get it. I had a kid throw a chair at me when I was 24 weeks pregnant with dd.
It isn’t really the schools place to think if it’s likely or unlikely that you will get pregnant. I was pregnant when unmarried/not engaged, 24 years old, only a year qualified with no permanent job (I was on a long term supply contract covering a long term sick leave) - they were really supportive when I had an ectopic pregnancy. I had moved school before my pregnancy with dd and didn’t tell them to til 26 weeks.
There are also additional steps that need to be taken due to covid when pregnant, so I’ll be telling right away next time.

What do ovulation tests normally look like on day 6-8ish of a “normal” cycle? My tests only have a faint test line and a strong control line. This is my first cycle properly using opk, I used them sporadically a few months ago and never got a line so faint but I couldn’t be sure where in my cycle I was.

I feel positive otherwise. I can’t put my finger on it, but I feel like this is our month. I felt the same before we conceived dd.

 

[wannanewbaby]

Sorry I don't see anything on this, before I took my test today I took a pic of the frer as I was shocked to see an indent before I even took it! Unfortunately I think this looks like it! But baby dust to you xView attachment 1091949 View attachment 1091949

The ones I took had same thing one of the 3 was significantly worse than the others though

 

[wannanewbaby]

Bleeding officially started. I cried for a second but I'm good now. My app gave me my new fertile days and my boyfriend is off all of them!! Going ahead and talking it into existence that next month is my month!!

Sorry af started but lots of luck new cycle and fab timing for bf to be off too

It was a chemical but I'm so grateful it didn't hold my cycle up for along time and mess me up bad. Bleeding is actually early wasn't expecting original af till sat. So even though it sucks there is some positives to hold onto.

I’m sorry wannanewbaby ..lots of luck for the new year.

@loeylo it didn’t go too well there is a post about it in my journal but don’t want to bring the mood here down

@wannanewbaby sorry AF came, good luck next cycle

 

[babybears25]

So sorry AF arrived @wannanewbaby hope it doesn’t affect your next cycle too much.

AFM I’m 12dpo and just got a BFN on a FRER so I’m out. I’m not surprised as I didn’t feel any different.

Good luck to all the ladies still waiting to test this month x

So did my 2nd frer this morning, come up quicker and a bit darker than last nights! Not a massive difference but I only took last night's at 5pm so! First test is last night, bottom is this morning.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Congratulations!!

 

[Lozb]

@Charlotte01x it really does look darker specially in less than 24 hours. I bet another tomorrow morning will look great x

Thanks for the reassurance! I've got cb digitals and another pack of first response coming today so will definitely continue testing! I have a telephone appointment with a nurse today as well so hopefully I will get booked an early scan or some blood tests!

 

[Deethehippy]

Congratulations Charlotte!

I see it! Try test in 48 hrs and if it is a line it'll be a lot darker!

 

[Charlotte01x]

Thought I'd also add my Internet cheapie guys, the line has become a lot more noticeable today at 10dpo 4 days away from af, which I don't think is bad at all!
