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

Also is it normal for my Temps to drop before Ov?

 

[Elven]

Cycle 5 why do you have to be so cruel????

Had two days of higher temps (36.68 - both days) and needed today's temp to be high also to confirm O...but alas...it dropped to 36.58 ....hence, no ovulation. Did a cheapie OPK last night +...did a CB one - ....I have never wanted the to come as much as I do now. I just want this horrible anovulatory cycle to end. It started with high hopes and ended in disaster.

So, till the breakthrough bleed (as it won't be AF without O) I'm just going to enjoy my husband, my birthday and of course xmas (birth of Jesus).

This is me...throwing in the towel. ~drops mike~ I'm out!

I'm sorry to hear that, our bodies are so cruel sometimes!

Hey Ladies! New to the forum so not sure if I’m even in the right section!! I’m also in my 2ww , my AF is Due Saturday so fingers crossed! I tested last Saturday , 9 dpo - too early I know! Got the BFN ! Fingers crossed for this weekend , have very sore boobs the last few weeks and nausea, possibly over imagining symptoms?!! Very exciting times!!

Welcome to the forums. Hopefully you might still get your BFP this month!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this too like Wintergirl Been reading this thread and congrats to those who got BFPs this month! Good luck everyone else too- would be amazing to have a BFP for Christmas.
I have tested a few times this month as period was due on 3rd but all negative I'm on day 46 now. My normal cycle is 37-38 days...should I wait a few more days and test again and go to docs if no AF? Anyone else had this before? Had some symptoms a week or so ago but nothing now other than being hungry but that might be me just being greedy!

Welcome to the forums. I would be tempted to keep testing every day, hopefully it is a BFP coming your way. Fingers crossed!

I have been very absent this month as not ttc. Part of me would be pleased if we don't conceive this month as I would like to enjoy Christmas and start again in the new year.

Pretty sure I am out as due today and stomach ache has not long started. No doubt the witch will show her ugly face tonight

Congratulations to those who have got their BFP and commiserations to those the witch has got. Fingers crossed to 2018 BFP for all of us.

There are a percentage of women who experiences an ovulation dip. My temp dips to 36.4 (within that range) and the rises to 36.5,36.6,36.7 (confirming O) with a final rise to ranges of 37 degrees. Most woman however do not. Google a few charts, it's really interesting to see the different BBT patterns

Ooohhh I've got my FX for you Melly it would be so pleasing to see you get a soooon!

CD 10 my OV lines are staring to come a long strong. I have a 27 day cycle would it be concerning to ovulate on the cD11?

No... I wouldn't be concerned at all. You would then have a LP of 16days which is very good. Even if you O on say CD20... Your LP will always be the same, in other words your cycle length will just be prolonged.

Ooh so im waiting to see if melly and baby scotcher get their BFPs!! Im just hanging around for ov, had a few period pains today and a bit of a twinge left boob plus tired so think its that time, DTD this morning and ewcm this afternoon so hope might be something going on.
Only 14 days till Christmas ���� xxx

Does anyone who uses cheapie opks never get a line as dark as control line?
Last month it wasn't as dark and this month seems to be going the same way.
I don't temp because we're just starting to properly ttc (month 2 of opks, month 5 of timing bd as much as I can) and I don't want to stress the oh out with too many gadgets lol. We've been ntnp for 6 yrs so I'm not expecting it to happen quickly.
One pic is of my cycles and predicted ov from my opks. Ov is the following day to the positive.
One pic is 2 months opks. Never quite gets as dark as line.
Should I change brand of opks?
I don't like digis as I like to see the line progression lol

 

[Melly41]

Thanks girls...pretty sure im out as had hot flushes overnight which is very common just before af! My boobies havent grown either, which they had done prior to getting bfp in july! Im trying to see the positives of a bfn this time....the only thing i can think of is being able to have wine over xmas!

I usually see a line progression but know other ladies who dont get it. Im with you...im not get on digis as i usually miss my lh surge with them.as it usually only lasts a few hours amd sometimes happens overnight! It is very frustrating!

Thats great TTs...youre not yet 1dpo so hold off on testing for a few days haha!

I agree with kat, your LP shouldnt chamge. I think a short lp is not great but 16 days is good x

Kat....do you still think youve not ovulated this cycle?.hope you were wrong....x

 

[CoveyClover]

Could I have the 26th please? That is when af is due so I will probably test before that haha

 

[MayBMore]

Hi There

Please can I be put down for testing on the 16th. I was just going to keep it to myself but thought I'd join in the madness on here

I'm approx 9DPO I've been feeling really tired, thirsty, hungry, mega bloated and had some mild cramps on my right lower abdo that made me feel a tiny bit nauseous earlier tonight....broke out in a few spots on my chin too! (all probably due to all the takeaways I've been eating!)

We haven't been TTC as such but things were aligned correctly this month so to speak ha!

Looking forward to hearing of lots of xmas BFP's good luck everyone!

Nah, I'm afraid not hey. It's CD26 and my temp has dropped again. It's like my body just can't get there.
