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

Does/has anyone used boots brand ovulation tests?

I’m on cd9. Should expect to ovulate on cd14. My ovulation tests are almost completely white in the test line. I don’t know if this is normal or not? I did one or two on a whim on cd4 -8 a few months back and I had far more colour showing than I do now.

Can depend what brand you use (The cheap One Steps can take a while to darken) and OPK's can change a lot day by day..they are not quite the same as pregnancy tests that 'progress' each day. I would try FMU and SMU tomorrow and see what you get.

SallyHansen - still quite early..good luck when you test again,

Thank you! These were cheap boots ones, the same ones as I used last month! I’m just curious as my last two cycles have been crazy (one 32 days, another 10 days!) so I don’t know what’s going on.

Anyone else who has their bfp feeling a bit crampy? They're very mild, don't exactly hurt just uncomfortable

 

[MadamRose]

@Charlotte01x i get mild cramps at some point most days. Apparently it can be increased blood flow to the area that causes it

They don't last long at all, just happens a couple of times a day! How far along are you now? I'm 4 weeks exactly today

That’s normal lovely just body getting ready and bub snuggling in

@Charlotte01x with 3 of mine I had cramping, with my third baby I had spotting and cramping so bad I was up all night convinced i was miscarrying.

@Suggerhoney good luck sweetie

good luck ladies rooting for you all

I’m 4+2 based on ovulation

 

[sallyhansen76]

Oddly enough i read hcg levels and implanation takes longer as you age.

Most women between 30-40 take longer yo see a positive.

Seeing as i was 24 eith my son and other pregnancies (bfp at 8-9 dpo) and now being 34....somehow is comforting i still dont have my positive. Thought it may help others too

I ve told myself i will not test until monday. Lord give me the patience haha

 

[Suggerhoney]

Yeah sorry I can't see anything in that but then again no one saw the faint line I saw at 8/9dpo and I'm pregnant so could still be a good chance x

Its ok hon its supper faint. I don't think I trust it. If I had similar lines on other tests then yes but the other 2 I did was practically BFN.
But then my pee wasn't dark at all it was very clear. Probably will have to wait until tomorrow now.

@ciz sending hugs

@Suggerhoney i think I see something very faint. Have you inverted it. Try not to worry about the symptoms with DD1 and DD2 my only symptom was AF type cramping

Thanks hon I don't trust it though. Wish I did the other tests with it. Oh well. Tomorrow is 10dpo and I always have lines by then so if BFN tomorrow then I'm out.

@Suggerhoney please don’t worry about no symptoms because I had nothing major with my 2.

Thanks hon. I have been feeling sickly on and off today but we shal see. I had so many symptoms with Tommy and DD by 8dpo remember my boobs being so sore.
I was so hoping when they started hurting on the evening of 5dpo its so crappy when symptoms like that just vanish.
Feeling very out.
10dpo will be when I know for sure I always always have lines at 10dpo if I am pregnant.
It just feels like there's no cm now no more cramps just nothing apart a slight queezy feeling but that cud be anything.

Hi hon yes I did and mine were like that to and then I started getting lines

At first tho they were so so faint.

Tested this morning with a frer. Negative for me.
9dpo.
Wont test till monday now. The bfn are heartbreaking.
I ve no symtpoms either so holding out a bit longer.
@ciz darn! Those indents are convincing. 9dpo is still early. Hang in there. Implantation is MOST commong at 9dpo making 10-11 dpo most common faint positive!!!

So sorry hon. Also 9dpo for me and feeling out. Hate BFNs so much. But I also hate faint lines because they have lead to so much heartbreak this year with my 4 chemicals. I think I wud rather BFN then have any more losses.
I know they suck tho seen so many these past 10 months but its still early hon.
I normally get lines by 10dpo but every woman is different.
Good luck hon.

@Suggerhoney good luck sweetie

Thanks hon. Just hope there is no more losses.

Sugger - there’s still time for you to get a BFP blazer and symptoms. Crossing everything for tomorrow for you. I want you to get a Christmas Surprise so much!

Good luck everyone testing.

My OPK’s are getting very close..we BD last night and night before and hope to again tonight or tomorrow. Come on eggie!

Just found out we are entering a new Tier 4 where we live and Christmas is basically cancelled!! TTC and talking to your ladies and TTC friends is the only thing keeping me sane at the moment and TTC is usually the thing that drives me crazy!

 

[Bevziibubble]

That's so sad about tier 4

 

[babybears25]

Sorry you’re in Tier 4 @Deethehippy

Cant believe Bojo has cancelled Christmas the Grinch.
Bloody covid is ruining everything.

Ooow great bedding times hon see if u can manage tonight or tomorrow than I think u wud of done all u can.

I've been feeling queezy all day today seems to go when I eat but comes back again.
Nervous about testing tomorrow.

Maybe if I'm out I shud start the Jan testing thread but its such a big responsibility I don't think I come on here enough to be able to do it.
But if no one is up for doing it I cud I guess.

Thank you, those are exactly what mine are looking like!

I’m also in tier 4 but in Scotland so we have at least got Christmas Day. No idea what’s going to happen with schooling as we are delaying our start but with teachers in, and then online learning. It’s going to be stressful both as a parent and a teacher.

@Deethehippy same here, tier 4. So much disappointment from so many friends. We had already planned a really small Xmas so not too much difference in our plans, I just don't want to promise the girls anything that's likely to be cancelled...
Sorry I haven't posted for a while- my eldest got sent home to isolate due to a case in her class (she's secondary school, and this is already the second time) but just as she was about to go back, and the day before her birthday weekend, she got a positive test!! So her birthday was pretty much ruined, plus I had to instantly run out and get my other two from school, with crying 5 month old in tow, and tell my husband to get back from work. It was awful to see her devastation, everything seems very big to them at that age (12)
Anyway that's why I haven't posted, have been at home and it feels like a zoo.
Congrats to the BFPs, so many it feels like!
And fingers crossed for those with the squinters...
Me- the bleed turned in to a fairly ordinary period, albeit shorter and lighter. I still don't know if it was a 'proper' one. OPKs seem allll over the place, really confusing- I *think* I had a day of positive ones... But I don't know, I'm just not convinced, anyway we DTD every day around that time... So now I'm testing pointlessly and far too much and just hoping I'll see something at some point or get a more proper period or...I don't know.
Guess I'll be testing properly from...24th? Ish.
Until then I'll satisfy myself by uselessly peeing on ovulation tests.

 

[MadamRose]

@Deethehippy and @Fuchsia1412 sorry about tier 4.

I feel really guilty saying it but I'm so glad I got my BFP when I did all this stuff that is happening with covid could have delayed my donations for months.

My cramps are sending me crazy today I know they are normal as they are not extra painful or anything just more noticeable than normal, I'm wondering if its becuase i've not been occupied with work

you in Wales beaut? Our lockdown kicks in from midnight tonight

 

[Deethehippy]

Fuschia - I'm sorry about the positive test and isolating. My youngest two are currently isolated until the 23rd due to one of their year group testing positive..not that we can do anything after that! It's so hard all round. I hope you enjoy Christmas with your immediate family.

 

[Bevziibubble]

@Fuchsia1412 I'm so sorry
