Testing Around 11th July

Hey girls, as @juno231 pointed out, we were almost at 1,000 messages on our last testing thread, so thought we should set up a new one for anyone that hasn't got their BFP this month. Of course a few of you may still get your positives :)

I'm just going to tag anyone that has posted on the thread in the last 24 hours or so, but please feel free to tag others that I've missed out...

@foreverhopeful67 @BbyBx2 @Muriel84 @Smushty14 @Smiling124 @33Carr @memily @LottieX

Of course this thread is based on a cycle of around 30days, so take the title with a pinch of salt as I'm sure some of us will be testing earlier and some of us later. I seem to be on track for a 33+ day cycle at the mo! xx

@Sussexbysea ahh I'm so happy for you, really hoping you have a happy healthy 9 months, funnily enough about the same time you were testing so was I and got a +ve today x

Sussexbysea · 08/07/2020 19:12

@SmileyT thank you, I’m so happy! How are you doing?

I must be around 17/18 DPO now but I’m not 100% sure because I wasn’t actively trying this month so I didn’t do any ovulation tests.

SmileyT · 08/07/2020 18:18

Ahh was just checking in on this thread and @Sussexbysea this is amazing 🥰 can't believe after trying everything in the previous months when you went on the pill you got your BFP, how many dpo do you think you are? xx

Thanks @LottieX Grin

Happygolucky29 · 08/07/2020 15:05

@Sussexbysea congratulations 🥳🥳

LottieX · 08/07/2020 14:56

@fashu www.scribd.com I signed up for a free trial here, they have quite a few fertility books so can read a few! I just downloaded the app and read it on the iPad, it was really easy!

fashu · 08/07/2020 14:18

Think I may get this book! where do you get it on a trial?

notyetamumbuttrying · 08/07/2020 13:51

@Sussexbysea congrats 🥳 my dear! What a wonderful surprise!
@eastcoastgirl enjoy your free trial! You'll finish it in days anyway.

Good luck to everyone testing this weekend! Hope you don't end up with AF like me!

eastcoastgirl · 08/07/2020 13:17

@lottiex right that's decided it then, it's the magic book! Good idea about the free trial, I'll do that! 😁👍🏻

@LottieX we’ll be baby buddies 💗💗

Sussexbysea · 08/07/2020 12:18

@MintGreenLife yes, he knows. He had a very excited me waving a wee covered stick in his face at 4am 😂 I’m going to be having a consultant led pregnancy, and not a midwife one which is a shame. I liked the familiarity and friendliness of a midwife.

@LottieX you're very welcome :) so pleased for you

@eastcoastgirl I was also too tight to shell out for the book so I signed up for a free one month trial for scribd and read it on the iPad!

LottieX · 08/07/2020 12:02

Thanks everyone 😊

And huge congrats @Sussexbysea!!!

Hopefully it'll be a lucky thread for some more! It was cycle 7 for me @eastcoastgirl and I never thought it would happen. I've actually had even less symptoms than AF, the sore boobs came and went in a week and then nothing really else apart from feeling really active in my lower abdomen.

I think what really honestly helped is I read the inpatient women's guide to getting pregnant... I followed the guidance in there and voila! Loved that book so thank you @MintGreenLife for recommending! It took me probably 4 cycles off the pill to properly regulate and I didn't start tracking bbt until cycle 5 so hopefully you're just in the reset phase xx

fashu · 08/07/2020 11:55

wow congrats @Sussexbysea so happy for you! I remember your posts from the last thread, wishing you all the best :)

@sussexbysea that's incredible! Your little miracle baby! So pleased for you xx

Sussexbysea · 08/07/2020 06:44

I’m still in shock

Testing Around 11th July
Sussexbysea · 08/07/2020 06:43

I never thought I’d be back joining this thread but here I am sharing my BFP.

It’s literally a miracle. I have PCOS, an overactive thyroid, medicine to control it and told not to get pregnant for the rest of the year and I was on the pill. 4.30 this morning, this happened. I’m over the moon

eastcoastgirl · 07/07/2020 20:45

@notyetamumbuttrying I'm 34 in October, and I don't think that's helping my impatience! I have short(ish) cycles too, the benefit of that though is we don't have to wait as long to try again I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

I actually looked at that book the other week, but was too tight to shell out 8 quid or whatever it is to get it on kindle, especially when I think it's quite a short book isn't it? But then with the money I'm shelling out on the CB ovulation sticks its daft to think like that really, I think I may have to invest!

Huge congrats @LottieX lovely news ☺️

I haven't even ovulated yet, so I'm way behind with the 11th of July testing 😂 Haven't had any EWCM or a positive OPK yet and am CD21 now 😔 Waiting patiently for something to happen...
