~*~*~* December Testing Thread *~*~*~

[WolfMamma]

Morning.

AF is supposed to be here at some point this week (well, that was my cycle before IUD removal anyway) but no sign of her yet.

It may be that my cycle has been messed around by the removal as I bled heavily for a few days after so I'm not actually sure what my body is up to. I am tracking my cycles using an app so hopefully within a couple of months, I will know where I stand. I added the bleeding down as an AF but it may not technically have been one.....I'm not sure! If it was then I am due to O in roughly 3 days.

Only 10 days left for her to stay away and then I can do a test and see if we've been lucky! Even if she does turn up, at least I will have some more information to go on!

After having a positive opk test when I randomly tested at cd#9 which stayed positive for 3 days is now 100% negative on cd#12. Never had it so early. Managed to dtd last night but prob too late ! I was trying to convince myself it wasn't quite positive but then I normally see a gradual line progression every cycle without fail and this stayed the same colour/darkness until this morning it's stark white. Makes no sence for me to ovulate 3 days after my af has gone and who knows - it could have been positive the day before too? I don't nornally test till cd#10 and never get a 2nd line till around cd#11 then gradually gets darker every day.Anyone ever had this?

Alexis....i usually ovulate cd112/13 and this month it was cd10 so not sure why. We have prob missed the boat too! Im 6dpo now and np signs whatsoever! Hope you managed to catch x

I've had positives on cd10 and a friend of mine got pregnant having sex towards the end of her AF. I've also had sudden positives where there was no line and sight and then bam! Are you temping too as that would tell you if you have ovulated. Also did you get any ovulation pain?

Alexis, if you are using cheapies they shouldn't be done until the afternoon. Think it's only the clear blue ones that say to use in the morning. LH in our bodies is produced in the morning, it takes a while for it to be picked up in our system. Keep testing but try testing late afternoon/early evening. xx

Good luck! In my experience apps are very variable in terms of accuracy. I like Ovia. Fertility Friend gives me weird fertility dates even though I have been putting very thorough information into it for ages.

I ovulated cd12 this month which is a bit earlier than normal for me. As I had such a random last cycle I decided to test as soon as the witch had definitely gone. I tested morning and night on the opk's. Usually I only test in the morning but luckily I did as I got my peak in the pm. I suppose at least you know that you may ovulate earlier so you wont miss it again by waiting a bit longer to test.

Currently 15dpo today for me. No sign of AF yet but as my cycles are so out of sync it could be anytime between now and the weekend. Uurgh yet more waiting! I'm going to test again tomorrow but so far bfn's. I'm beginning to think I'm clutching at straws though.

Hi everyone. My spotting which lasted 8 days has settled (I think) - still worried when wiping. Only done internet cheapies and lines not showing much progression which worries me. Period never arrived yesterday so assuming I am preg but it's a shy one..I'm testing each day just hoping lines get darker!
Until then I'll be staying here as don't want to move to Aug group yet. Fingers crossed we get more bfps before Xmas!

Oh and I've got such a sore throat today - think I've picked up another virus after just getting rid of a sinus infection. Not sure if your immune system is worse in preg??!

Ooh how exciting. Hope you gt a really positive test soon. Yes your immune system is worse during pregnancy from what I've read.

Millie - I test am and pm as can't test in afternoon as at work.opks are all positive cd 9 ,10 , 11 and then today cd12 its neg. I will keep testing.

Sunflower -I normally temp but couldn't be bothered..I will check my temp tmrw and see. Its normally 36.2 is not and 36.6 if i have o'd. I did have ov pain and felt a bit irritated past few days. Gutted we have missed it. I have never ever had this...always been aroubd cd12-14 and gradual line progression. Onky thing is not really had much ewcm? I nirnally get quite a bit?

Oh well hsg test in Jan hopefully. Nit even going to sympton spit this cycle as clearly have missed the boat.

Would you keep dtd loads even though opk now neg? Typical as thought we couldn't try this month then we could as hsg test delayed ...then this happens. Shows you should dtd as soon as af goes ... gutted!

You could do it every other day until your temp goes up just in case.

My opk this morn amd this evening totally white (bottom 2 opks in photo...I must have ovulated around cd#9 then! (1st opk at top of photo) Crazy....we only managed to dtd cd#11 so guess we are out before we even got started

 

[Fastnet1]

Yep I was clutching at straws. AF has arrived.
Hope there's loads more bfp s to come in December. And don't forget to post your pics ladies, I love seeing people's bfp's..... it keeps me going!

I ovulated cd 9 and cd7 before. It might be worth keeping going as it's quite possible to ovulate twice in a cycle sometimes. Xx

Any news yet MillieL?

[Surveyor]

I had my first ever unprotected session today, will be testing at the end of this month if the witch doesn't show. Witch is expected on the 23rd, Christmas miracle anyone?

Sorry to add to the misery, but I'm out too. It's going to be a miserable christmas this year with our empty nursery, but I'm trying to be positive and putting all my energy into cycle 4.

THE PLAN: Started agnus castus to try and regulate my hormones and stop this spotting I keep getting. Baby aspirin, folic acid, B vitamins. Cranberry extract and prophylatic antibiotics to stop any more UTIs (have had 3 in the last 3 months grr). Got pre-seed with the sexy applicators. Daily yoga, meditation and essential oils.
Repeat after me... "this IS the month I get pregnant!"

Good luck everyone still to test x
