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

@wantingagirl i can see something but it could be an indent invalid as you took it apart. Test again for sure.

@Charlotte01x goggle can honestly be your worse enemy. The range of hcg at this stage really varies some have really high some have really low it’s the trend in if it doubles etc that matters the most.

@Deethehippy no idea about the bed socks -
I doubt they’d be able to raise your temp enough to effect your bbt but I am no expert

the line was there in the casing I only took it apart 5 hours later to get a better picture xx

 

[wantingagirl]

Not too sure about this one, possibly an indent, possibly squinter however it is invalid cause you've took it apart. Good luck testing again x

i only took it apart to get a better picture 5 hours later took the pic straight away so I didn’t take it out of casing and left it. Came up within 5 mins. I’ll be testing again soon anyway as I don’t completely trust frers these days xx

This morning's test for your considered opinions.

Assuming 9DPO to 11DPO, based on blazing positive OPK 11 days ago.

FMU. AF due Friday latest, my cycles are anywhere between 26-30 days and my LP is short, so I could already be two days late, but also could be two days early...

I'd expect it to be much darker though? Yesterday's one was at lunchtime, and still looked darker than this? This took ages to come up too.

With my son I had undeniable blazing positives right away, two clear lines that matched each other, and an OPK with the test line stronger than control. So I don't know with this.

Yeh day 1 today. Will move over to jan testing but keep eye here as we still have a week of December left. Wishing I all luck with BFP. Sorry all who got BFN. AF only last 3-4 days for me. I worry going to have same issues as getting pregnant with my son. I dnt know if I jst shudnt temp or OPK. I might use them up then done

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Lozb
I’m so sorry hon. Very happy ure luteal phase is longer and maybe it will extend to another day once u have been on the macca for a few more weeks.
Really am wondering now if it was the macca giving me my symptoms. I bumped them up from 500 to 1500mg, didn’t get any symptoms at all last cycle.
I’ve now bumped them up to 2000mg but that’s it now I don’t want to take anymore than that. I know progesterone after ovulation can make u think ure pregnant as it give u sore boobs and sickness and tiredness so maybe mine was just from ovulation but surly it wud of started from 1dpo not 5dpo. I never normally have this happen only with the chemicals. So the only thing I can think off is the the folate or macca? Had a lovely birthday thinking I was pregnant. Then 8dpo and everything vanishing I just new I was out.
Still waiting for the stupid old . That’s the biggest downside to having a 16 to17 day luteal phase. The knowing ure out and having to wait for AF is awful. Sending u hugs hon. I’m going to having a few drinks on Christmas Day to hehe.

@wannanewbaby so you do OPKs? If so worth checking to see what they are like

@Suggerhoney I want to give you the biggest hug. I know how heartbreaking this must be for you. I really hope you get a new year BFP!

@Lozb im sorry I was sure you were going to get a BFP

Thank you hon.
I really hope so to,

That’s a great line on that Frer hon. I got my 2-3 at 4+4 weeks and 3+ at 5 weeks with my son but I’ve seen other women on here not get it untill later. Did u do opks and temp? Maybe u ovulated a bit later.
Ure Frer looks great hon nice and dark. Hope u get ure 2-3 soon.

Sorry suggarhoney I feel you we are 8 months in post depo and it’s really hard now. A close friend of mine was ntnp as her oh didn’t want another and then one month in to it she was pregnant which I’ve found so hard to come to terms with.

Charlotte I was 5 weeks before I got my 2-3 with my son and 7 plus weeks before I got my 3 plus x

I absolutely feel u hon. It’s so frustrating and so hard. I’ve had 4 supper early losses since we began TTC when I came off the mini pill in February. January will be cycle 11 ttc I’m just waiting for AF now which shud be here hopefully no later than Saturday. I always find this part the worst,
I also hate CD1 and pretty much the first 9 days of my cycle. Then when ovulation comes around I start getting a bit hopeful. But that hope just gets stripped away, and then it’s completely gone and just feel hopeless.
Sending u huge hugs hon.

Hi ladies, I got this yesterday I’ll test again today not sure I overly trust these frers. Feeling sick the last 3 days in the morning but just feel I maybe should have more symptoms. Last month I spotted 9dpo period came at 10 and I haven’t spotted yet View attachment 1092300

Hi hon. I can see a line but it looks grey? I do know how hard catching vvv faint lines is though and how there pink in person but not photo.

Yeh I really think the macca increased my symptoms but seems to be working increasing LP one or two more days will do. I take 4,000mcg Maca. I got my wine in for Xmas day now hehe.

Haha me to hon. Are u taking Galatanised macca hon because they normoly are around 500mg per capsule.
U can get get basic macca which come in 4000mg but I was recommended to take Galatanised Macca Root 1 to 2000mg daily.
But I'm only taking them in the hope it prevents anymore losses.

So glad u got a extra day. I think I'm gonna get a bit tiddled on Xmas day hehehe

[Teafor2]

Question... what are you all doing about coffee? Are you drinking it while ttc or abstaining? I tend to try to stick to a cup a day, but I will have two cups sometimes and I’m wondering if it’s worth cutting it out or switching to decaf.

 

[MadamRose]

@Teafor2 I don’t drink coffee but drink lots of tea drank it all the way through TTC. Only cutting it down a bit now as I was drinking that instead of water and I think it was making me feel more sick

this is the Maca was brill price for 6 months supply. I read as it’s plant based the high doses are fine. I wanted it as well to make a difference to my energy levels. See how it goes next few months on it. I dnt drink a lot really, once in blue moon I will have one small drink. I have bought the little mini bottles of wine, one bottle is to go in with the turkey. All sons presents are wrapped and he is at my mothers u til after 2pm on Xmas Eve, both me and Dh are working today and tomorrow.
To cheer everyone up, these are pictures my 4 year old drew last night at my mothers. Ones me, other is DH. Yes they are boobies and he says my husbands is a belly button but I dnt think it was meant to be.

 

[Teafor2]

@Lozb haha love the pictures! I’m a primary school teacher but I used to work in a preschool and a lot of kids go through a developmental phase in regards to drawing where they only draw the face, arms, legs, and belly button. It’s so interesting that they all fixate on it so much.

 

[Bevziibubble]

That's so cute!

Hi hon i only have the odd coffee here and there but only 1 and not on a daily basis. I'm a tea drinker but I've been using decaf tea for months now. I tried to avoid as much caffeine as I can in the 2ww.
But thats mainly because off all my chemicals.

Yeah that's just normol macca hon, I was advised Galatanised but mine is for a different reason than ures.
Loving the pics so cute

AFM
My right breast feels a little tender to touch again which is weird because I don't get sore boobs b4 during or after AF. Its only mild tho.
The last time I tested was yesterday at 12dpo but I only used a crappy one step test which I know are not the best.
I'm 13 dpo today. Mite test with sweetyfox test because there sensitive.
I expect it to be BFN but just want to make extra sure b4 I start getting a wee merry lol.

If you are still having symptoms it could still be worth testing. The IC can be hard to see even now when my urine is dilute the lines are pretty faint

 

[elencor]

9 dpo and stark white BFN. Not even the faintest shadow. Even with my chemical I saw something very very faint by now, I feel I'm going to be out soon

I think I’ll pick up some decaf at the shop today. Good luck! I’m rooting for you!
