Who wants a BFP under their Christmas tree?!?!! Calling all December testers!

[elliecain]

Looking at your chart, yes!!! If my temps looked like yours, I'd be feeling a lot more optimistic... FX xx

 

[Vonn]

Megan--your chart really turned around! Test, test, test!!!!

 

[Mdc]

Tcp, congratulations and I hope your betas keep climbing!

Megan, oh I would totally test if I were you. Best of luck!

Vonn, ohhh...the juicy part of the tww. Hopefully you will get some great symptoms soon. Will you test before the beta results?

Hi everyone else.

Afm, my opks have stalled and I do not understand by my temp dropped this morning (I usually get a dip before O). Cd18 for me so I am late O'ing. Hopefully my us in a couple hours will show some great progress, but now I am so confused. Anyone on here tried clomid and it prolonged O? Dr. Google says it is a possibility, but not sure if anyone has had that experience here. Fingers crossed that all is on track.

 

[MeganS0326]

Thanks, ladies! Well I tested and it was a BFN. Super bummed. Guess I'm just waiting on AF at this point.

Mdc - I did 4 rounds of clomid when we were TTC DS; however, I won't be much help to you. I O late in my cycle if at all due to the PCOS so if anything it brought it forward. I hope your US today sheds light on what is happening.

 

[elliecain]

12dpo is still early. You are not out yet. I had a bfn on 12dpo too, but trying to keep the faith. I'm 13dpo today and AF due tomorrow... If no AF tomorrow, I'm going to test again on Wednesday.

In August, my bfp on 15dpo (first test) was really faint. I'd definitely have had a bfn 3 days before.

 

[Mdc]

Good luck Megan and still plenty of time!

Ugh, cycle cancelled bc no O. Weird I O'd fine right up to the mc and haven't since (mostly because of the drugs they started me on but still). Starting Provera to reboot and start again. I am going to keep cheering everyone on and I will start a Jan thread next week.

Best of luck to everyone.

 

[MeganS0326]

Mdc! FX next cycle is your lucky one!

 

[tcp]

MDC - I'm sorry your body didn't cooperate with you this month. FX'd for next month!

Megan - I think Ellie's right - 12DPO is early! It's not over until AF shows. I'm not giving up hope for you!

I am scheduled to get another HCG test tomorrow afternoon. I am still having the pain on my upper right side, it was kind of bad last night but not too bad today. I think I'm also getting the stretching pain, that's lower down and definitely different than what I've had the last couple weeks. It feels closer to menstrual cramps. Hopefully that's all normal.

Vonn - any symptoms at all?

 

[Vonn]

Tcp--how confusing to have all sorts of different pains going on. The ones down low def sound like pg cramping & stretching. I hope they stick around but the upper right side pains should scram! I hope the hcg result is confirming of good things tomorrow.

Mdc--what a cruel trick, I'm so sorry that ov has not happened. That clomid can do all sorts of mean tricks, hopefully next cycle things get back on track!

Ellie & Megan--I'll be watching the next couple days to see you both get your BFPs! Here's hoping!

AFM--a few nights ago I had a strong abdominal/uterine pain that woke me up and kind of flashed through, then was gone. Probably just a weird pain, but that's the closest to a symptom. I really believe the only reason I am hopeful is because of the holiday & how perfect it would be to have a "Christmas wish" come true. Super corny and not realistic! Neither of those characteristics are me, which just proves how crazy this ttc process can make us!

 

[elliecain]

I'm out, my Christmas miracle wasn't destined to happen.

 

[tcp]

Ellie, I am so so sorry. Hugs and more hugs.

 

[MeganS0326]

Vonn - I have everything crossed you get your "Christmas wish"! Hopefully that quick pain was a good sign of things to come.

elliecain - so sorry that stupid witch got you. Hope you get your BFP in January!

AFM - I'm not testing today. To bummed out by yesterday's BFN. Today is DH's birthday. We actually got a sitter so we can go to a nice dinner. DS is 20 months and I can count on one hand the number of times we've had a sitter so this is a big deal for us! Super excited!

 

[MeganS0326]

Merry Christmas, ladies!!! I hope Santa was good to everyone!

According to FF I'm 16dpo today but I'm still getting BFN's. I think FF is wrong and I didn't O until CD30 which would mean I'm really only 8dpo. If that is the case I'm not holding out much hope for a BFP this cycle because our BD timing stunk. I have a feeling I'm going to be joining the January thread soon.

Alihill1109 - Any news?? FX FX FX

Vonn - Any news? Have you done any early testing or are you waiting for tomorrow?

 

[Vonn]

I'm out, got AF on Christmas Day... Moving on to IVF in the next few months.

Megan--your chart looks AMAZING!!

 

[alihill1109]

Hi all - well, I have no idea! I did test on Christmas day and got a BFN, but used a First Response Gold Digital - which apparently are not the best (I only found this out later&#8230 So I thought I was out and treated myself to a few glasses of wine.
However..today I am 17 dpo and no AF in sight. My normal LP is 10 - 12 days, and has never been longer than that. My boobs are sore and I have some light cramping and I'm really tired. I told my DH that we would wait until tomorrow to test again so there was no ambiguity! Truthfully, though, I'm nervous to test again and get a BFN as this seems to be the closest I've gotten to getting a BFP.
I also kept the negative digi test, and after reading today that a lot of people got false negatives on them, I opened it up and found two clear pink lines. I know that you're not supposed to look at these after 10 minutes, but it was as clear as day, no squinting needed. But I can't rely on this, I know it

I'll update tomorrow.

Vonn - I'm so sorry to hear that AF arrived on xmas day. Ugh, what a rotten gift. I really hope the IVF works for you!

Ellie - All fingers crossed for you that Jan will be your lucky month.

Megan - You never know! As long as AF hasn't arrived, I think you're still in the game!

 

[elliecain]

Did you definitely ovulate when you think? The only reason I've been late with AF when not pregnant was when I ovulated late.
I took a bfn apart after 36 hours 2 months ago and it had 2 lines but I wasn't pregnant. Apparently some tests are renowned for it. Then again, you are well past normal lp length. Can you get a beta done?

Just wondering... Is there a January testing thread yet?

 

[MeganS0326]

Vonn - So sorry that AF showed her ugly face on Christmas! FX that IVF does the trick. Are you going right into the IVF process?

alihill1109 - I'm excited to see how your next test turns out. I think that most digital test are not sensitive at all. Also, you should never crack open a digi. They always have two lines on the inside. FX FX FX

elliecain - I think someone mentioned a few pages back that they were going to start a January page but no one every put a link in this thread. I tried to look for one but didn't see it. If someone wants to start it that would be awesome, I'm sure I'll be there soon.

AFM, I haven't tested in a few days. We've had house guests on and off for the past few days and my DS has been sick so I just haven't had time. Still no sign of AF.

 

[alihill1109]

ellecain - yes, I'm certain of when I ovulated - I use opk's, bbt chart, and have a clear blue fertility monitor (I really like to track things, haha.) I can also feel it, especially on clomid - really not that comfortable for me for a few days. I'll get a beta done if tomorrow's test is negative and AF hasn't shown up, as this is highly unusual for me.

And yes - I know I can't rely on that digi test at all I've got a package of the regular FRER's and a Clearblue Digitial so hopefully between those two I'll have a good reliable answer!

Megan - looking forward to hearing about the next few days for you! fx!

 

[elliecain]

So exciting! I've got my fingers crossed for both of you xx

 

[MeganS0326]

So, I kept thinking about Vonn's post today that my chart looked amazing so I figured I would test to get it off my mind. I took the test at a really inopportune time so I didn't get to see the results. When I came back hours later there was a pink line!!! I've used these cheap tests for months now and haven't had an evap on them yet so that got me super excited so I tested again and there was a second line that popped up right away!!! I'm so excited you guys!!! Here is a pic of the second test.
