Anybody else hoping for a Christmas BFP?

[KrystLeigh]

I'm new here and just surfing through a few posts I've noticed there seems to be a lot of ladies due.for their period between Dec. 23rd-25th. I was hoping maybe I could find all you girls and we could compare notes and get to know each other if we all do find out we're preggo together =)

A little info on me. I'm a 25yr old USAF wife. This will be mine and my hubbys first child. We just started trying this month, I have been on BC for many years and just got off and my LMP was Nov 25th and I had a positive ovulation test Dec 8th so I ovulated the 9th, so I'm expecting my period on Christmas Eve. My hubby and I have had intercourse a few days prior to ovulation and the day plus four following and a couple times since. I've had quite a few symptoms already including frequent urination, sore breasts, slight naseua the last few mornings and increased appetite as well as occasionally feeling bloated and kinda weird and full especially when laying on my stomach. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and a couple days before with negative results. I'm planning on testing Christmas Eve (and again on Christmas for hopefully confirmation if positive) which I'm really hoping for a BFP because it would be extra special since that's the same day my hubby proposed and I'd also love to tell the family on Christmas as well.

So who else is having the same feelings as me and is hoping for an extra special Christmas present? =)

The only urine test that has ever worked on me at home in early pregnancy is ClearBlue Easy (NOT the "early result" one, those have a bad track record of false results). First Response, ept, store brands, digitals, other versions of ClearBlue -- I've tried it all, nothing else seems to work on me, I don't know why. Most doctor tests don't even work on me the first couple weeks. I came up positive right away at the doctor's office this time but was almost 6 weeks at the time according to the ultrasound, and I don't know what they used.

Thanks so much! I am trying my hardest to be patient.. really hard to do so. I took my last one this morning. I think I may TRY to wait until Friday to see if I start, if I still have not I will test again. Thanks again.

There is a chance since you have not gotten your period. Try not to stress, you are either pregnant or you are not, and stress can actually delay your period. Some women will get positive tests really quickly while other women have to wait a bit longer, it depends on how quickly your body builds up the HCG hormone, is you build it up quick you will get a positive quick if you build it up slower it takes longer to get a positive. That is why they will tell you to use first morning urine, typically then you havnt gone pee for awhile and the hormone will get more concentrated and give a more accurate test. If you are drinking a ton of liquids so you can take a urine test you will end up deluding your urine and the hormone, so if you take a test during the day try to hold for 3-4 hours and then take the test. Good Luck and try to be patient. Good Luck to all of you!!
