AF due 20th July / 5DPO - Who Wants to Test With Me??

Hello!

Some of these threads are HUGE and I'm feeling a bit lost, so I'd thought I'd make a new one for anyone who is due their AF Wednesday 20th July (or thereabouts!) and are 4/5 DPO.

Symptoms so far
1-3DPO - Nothing
4DPO - sore boobs and lots of clear CM (sorry!)
5DPO - very sore lower back right in the middle, sore bbs + AF style cramps

A little about me... I've suffered x2 miscarriages over the years, one at 6 weeks and the other at 10 weeks (had a D&C). Horrible experience but hoping for a sticky bean this time! So technically I'm trying for my 1st.

Would love to know a bit about you as well and hope we can test together - and try to keep sane while waiting! Good luck everyone Smile

what CD are you on mightly? How frustrating not knowing when you ov.
I won't be testing until next week, this week is going to drag so much! Hopefully being back at work and studying at night will make the time pass quicker Hmm

MightyLightningMouse · 11/09/2016 22:32

Hi Elle, I can see squinters on both!! Fx let us know how you get on! 

Still no + on ovulation tests, boo! No symptoms apart from insanely sore boobs. Who else is testing soon and what day? I'm deffo trying this temping lark next month Grin i hate not knowing what's going on!

PurpleHaze1 · 11/09/2016 20:32

That's strange elles Confused There's definitely a line on the boots one so I would take that as a great sign! Test again tomorrow & let us know. Fingers crossed for you! Grin

Elles85 · 11/09/2016 18:41

Purple I had a look at the box and it's definitely the early response so I don't know. The boots test was also an early result test but I still thing frer is more sensitive. I'll have to wait and see.

JB i thought that too so I'm gonna wait till tomorrow and try again. FX

JB1983 · 11/09/2016 16:27

I see a line in the first one too elles. Weird that the frer would be negative though, thought it would be the other way around.
Are you going to test again tomorrow?

PurpleHaze1 · 11/09/2016 15:50

Ooh elles, I can see a line on the first pic Grin Is the first response one definitely the Early Response kind? Similar happened to someone else on another thread (one positive but negative FR) & it turns out the FR wasn't the ER kind so it wasn't as sensitive. I think the packaging is very similar

Elles85 · 11/09/2016 13:19

My 2 tests

Good afternoon ladies. So I tested with a frer and a boots own brand. I'll attach the pics.

I don't know if there's anything there on the frer one but I can see two lines on the boots own brand which I find strange!Confused

JB1983 · 10/09/2016 16:45

A promising symptom elles. Excited for the testing to begin!
A temperature rise is also promising purple.
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend x

PurpleHaze1 · 10/09/2016 10:04

Thanks swimming I'd feel more confident if we'd managed to DTD the day of ov but DD was unwell so it wasn't possible. Hopefully the 2 days before was enough. I've had a small rise again today, just hope it keeps going up Smile

Are you 9dpo? Probably too early to test, I'd wait & test again Monday Grin Everything crossed for you. I think the fact that your temp keeps rising is a good sign!

Justkeepswimming99 · 10/09/2016 09:26

I think that's a fine and consistent looking chart Purple.... Unlike mine which has gone bonkers! BFN this morning but prob too early to be testing! let us now Elle's, fingers crossed!

Elles85 · 10/09/2016 08:55

Really Purple?! I didn't know that. I think I'll go and buy a test now. I'll let you know Smile

PurpleHaze1 · 10/09/2016 08:23

Morning elles if you've got enough of the pg hormone to make you sick then it'll be enough to show up on a test! Grin Oooh! I hope you've calculated wrong & this is it for you. Keep us updated Smile

Elles85 · 10/09/2016 07:32

Good morning ladies. So I've just been sick and I never vomit! It seems to early to test but i might have calculated wrong this month. Its a good sign right? Grin

PurpleHaze1 · 09/09/2016 19:12

Oh swimming everything crossed that those are early pg symptoms & not imminent AF! The extra rise is a good sign (I think Hmm). Keep us updated with the daily tests Grin

4dpo so nothing to report but the crosshairs did appear on FF yesterday so it's confirmed ovulation on CD13. I've attached my chart. I'm obsessed with looking at other charts online to see if mine looks good or not... Seems to be inconclusive! I'm planning first test for Thursday when I'll be 10dpo... Less than a week, just need to keep myself busy Smile Hope you can find a way to distract yourself too elles

Glad you had a good holiday JB

It just feels like it's really dragging JB. I'm trying to concentrate on other stuff but it seems to be taking over my life right now.

Swimming I think I might treat myself too on Sunday. It's a bit early but I'll get the frer one Wink

Justkeepswimming99 · 09/09/2016 17:40

I'm testing with cheapies every morning but might go out and treat myself to a good one for Sunday morning!

Be strong JB, you can do it! 😉

Elles85 · 09/09/2016 16:28

Hi swimming I could swear I'm having all the symptoms you are but minus the blood! Not sure if its too early for me to be feeling like this so who knows. I'm on cd 21 as well. Don't know when to test Confused

JB1983 · 09/09/2016 16:26

Eek swimming these symptoms all sound very promising! I have high hopes for you getting that elusive BFP. Fingers and toes crossed!

Had a fab holiday thanks purple. Absolutely shattered with he long haul travel home but still in fertile week so . . .
3rd day in a row of positive OPK so not really sure if ov has happened or still has to occur. Wish I could temp to know for sure but I think night shift with would ruin the charts.

Hi elles hope the 2ww isn't too much torture for you!

Justkeepswimming99 · 09/09/2016 16:02

Yes Purple the criss cross appeared after the app thought I'd ovulated. Feeling a bit out of sorts today, every month I swear progesterone symptons make me think I could be pregnant and turns out not to be. Never remember anything this strong before mc. So today temp shoots through roof to highest ever ( but also back home so not in air con room) and there's blood when I go to the loo, then nothing. Don't want to get hopes up for Implantation bleeding as I did have a random 23 day cycle a few months ago, now on cd 21. Boobs feel a bit tender, definitely feel mild nausea, cramps still there. If this is PMS, it's unfair!! 😂😂😂. I was relatively relaxed about it all until the spotting.
Clearly I'll test on the hour for the next two days with my ic's and work myself up😊. Any other symptons out there ladies? xx

Elles85 · 08/09/2016 09:57

Thanks purple. My cycle is always 27 days so af is due next Friday so I'm not sure. I don't want to be a serial poas but it's looking like I might be Grin How about you?

PurpleHaze1 · 08/09/2016 07:42

Welcome elles do you know when you're planning to test? We're roughly in sync as I'm 3dpo today...

Hope you had a fab holiday JB

Hope you're feeling a bit better poppy. I've found temping really useful. I used the IC OPKs as well. I got a positive on the ICs on CD12 & CD13 and fertility friend has confirmed ovulation on CD13 (I got a big rise on CD14). I can't believe I ovulated on CD13 this month when I was worried about a short luteal phase last month! I've been continuing with the B6 though so not sure if it's had an affect or if it's just my cycle finally settling down after the implant Hmm

Elles85 · 07/09/2016 23:06

Hello ladies this is my first time here. I'm ttc and started last cycle. I used the cbd ovulation tests for the first time this cycle and got a positive cd16 so I dtd I'm now on cd 19 so just waiting patiently till poas time Smile

JB1983 · 07/09/2016 22:54

CD 19 for me and got my first positive OPK. Travelling home tomorrow so last chance to DTD today before entering the 2WW.
I agree poppy would be lovely to see some September BFPs!

Poppydm · 07/09/2016 22:24

Hey ladies, sorry I've not logged in for a while. Needed a bit of a break from ttc after my mammoth cycle. Hope you're all well? Lovely names Bright. Fingers crossed for you Swimming I've only just started with charts so still trying to figure it all out. How's yours going Purple? I'm on CD9 and have remembered the past three nights so going to keep tracking it if I can. Just to confirm ovulation mostly. I'm a bit lost on where everyone is. Are many people due to test soon? We could do with some lovely September BFPs Smile
