Hello!!

Thought I’d start a group for all you ladies that are currently trying or have recently been trying in the hope to test early August.

Would be good to have the support during and give each other advice and positivity!

I’m on my 2nd month TTC and had my peak days on 19th/20th July. Earliest I can test is 31st. AF due 5th.

Wishing you all the best of luck!! Smile

Hi ladies.

@JLM1008 congratulations on your BFP!!!!

I don't have a clue what's going on with my cycles! Still tracking BBT. One app says I ovulated on CD13 (this is when I had ovulation pain and EWCM). A second app I use has now said I ovulated Friday which was CD21. So confused! I think I might test tomorrow, I'll be 12dpo if I ovulated on CD13. If not at least we DTD on Friday so hopefully caught it, just means starting the TWW all over again 😞

JLM1008 · 03/08/2020 15:12

I got my definite bfp this morning 😊 13dpo period due tomorrow or Wednesday going by my period tracking app. Fingers crossed it sticks! This is my baby #3 - my other two are 7 and 9! It will be odd going through it all again!

Hi to all the ladies who have joined the thread 🙌🏼❤️

HouseOfRunners · 03/08/2020 13:42

@chillyfields tested again this am and this pm and both massive clear white BFN’s......it’s soooooo weird. What is going on with us?!?! 🤦🏽‍♀️😄

somanystars · 03/08/2020 11:30

@TiffyT Oh so they are! I'm on just the website now, weird how it's not coming up like that on the app!

Good shout about DH hiding the tests, I'll probably end up having to do something like that. I tested on an IC about CD4 this cycle because of a short period and got a (false) vfl, so then went through about five more tests in the following days! Even when I knew it had been a false positive, I just couldn't seem to stop myself haha.

TiffyT · 03/08/2020 10:53

@somanystars thanks!
Your comments are coming up in paragraphs btw :)

@Anyday88 def a line there!! 🎉

My DH has confiscated my tests😂 (I asked him to) I can’t help myself, he’s hidden them until the day I’m due on AF, this Saturday.

somanystars · 03/08/2020 08:31

P.s. I'm using the app - anyone know why it's not letting my split my posts into paragraphs??

somanystars · 03/08/2020 08:29

@TiffyT Sounds positive, I hope it turns out to be IB! 😊

@Anyday88 Definitely a line there, congratulations!

(Hope you guys actually get tagged in this, I'm just assuming this is how you do it! 😅)

I've just got my first flashing smiley this morning at CD10 after a few days of empty circles, so exciting!! I've estimated my ov date the last couple of months at ~CD17 so will be interesting to see if I'm right :)

chillyfields · 03/08/2020 08:15

@HouseOfRunners I see it I see it! So excited for you! Obviously I tested again this morning (why do we do it to ourselves??) with an ICand no sign of a squinter 🧐. Will try again tomorrow though. AF not due for a while ago fingers crossed for a nice clear positive eventually...

@Anyday88 a definite line! Congratulations!!

HouseOfRunners · 03/08/2020 07:57

@LorrieLu oh sorry honey ☹️ A good sign about your periods and at least you can have some idea of cycle length. I have no idea what’s going on. Massive BFN this morning on two separate tests. Baffling.

@Anyday88 that looks a very good positive to me. Congratulations 🙌🏼

Anyday88 · 03/08/2020 04:26

I went out and got another brand of test with pink dye and here are the results from this morning

Darn it. No test for me today @HouseOfRunners, My period is starting :(
On the plus side it looks like my cycle is back to normal (after pill) as my period showed up on the day I predicted! I've ordered some ovulation strips so I'm ready for next cycle.
Let me know how you go with your test today!

TiffyT · 02/08/2020 18:02

Typo! AF due 8th Aug

TiffyT · 02/08/2020 17:58

Hi ladies! I’m in a similar boat, due AF on 6th Aug, and think I’m having a small bit of implantation bleeding today, very mild but definitely a bleed. I’ve got mild cramps too. I ovulated a few days late this month, so implantation would line up with that. Driving myself mad googling all the symptoms! Did a test this morning (10dpo) before the bleed started and that was BFN.

Seems to be lots of lovely BFP’s on here 💕

JLM1008 · 02/08/2020 17:43

Thanks @LemonDrizzle44 I’m still doubting it haha might do a clear blue digital - not sure whether to do it tomorrow morning or Tuesday morning? I just want to make sure my hcg levels are high enough for it to be detected. A part of me is still worried in case it’s an evap line 🤷🏼‍♀️

LemonDrizzle44 · 02/08/2020 14:06

@HouseOfRunners & @JLM1008 I definitely see it! Fingers crossed it sticks!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Emmaemma23 I see your having dreams too! I really hope these symptoms are positive for us! AF due Friday for me trying soo hard not to test just yet!

somanystars · 02/08/2020 13:58

Oops, I'd broken that up into paragraphs but it doesn't seem to have worked 🤔 The perils of being new to a website!

somanystars · 02/08/2020 13:56

Hello everyone, would it be okay if I joined? This seems like quite a lucky thread with all these BFPs! Congrats to everyone who's had one!!

I'm 25, OH 28, CD9 of cycle 1 trying for #1 (so technically not 'tried' yet 🤣). Had nexplanon implant out mid-March after 2 years, used Millinette for a couple of months (made me cry all the time!), then came off everything. Had a pretty regular 27 day cycle so far but wondering if things have still to level out from the implant/pill. Early days but I've been lurking on the conception boards for a good while now lol.

I'm using CBD OPKs as I found some hugely reduced in price.... albeit going out of date very soon. So far, just empty circles. Annoyingly on about CD4 or so I actually did have a vfl on an IC (def pink and within time limit), which I only did because I'd had such a short period, but have done about 5 more tests and all have been stark white. Weird.

Sorry this is so long! I tend to go on a bit. How is everyone today?

AlwaysLay8 · 02/08/2020 13:53

Test with FR this afternoon was a BFN at 10DPO. Oh well. It's still early but at least I won't be shocked if/when AF comes

JLM1008 · 02/08/2020 12:38

Thanks @HouseOfRunners I’m just so worried that AF will still show up on Tuesday or Wednesday x

LorrieLu · 02/08/2020 12:35

@HouseOfRunners Can defiantly see a line on that one!! Hope it stays there!

@MummyToPrince interesting! Could be a sign of implantation?

HouseOfRunners · 02/08/2020 12:24

@JLM1008 looks very positive to me 👏🏼

Emmaemma23 · 02/08/2020 12:22

Congrats OP! Yay!
Hi ladies may I join?
I’m about 8dpo I think, and did a IC test this morning because I couldn’t help myself. Lo and behold negative and I’m left disappointed and googling symptoms.
It’s so good to find people in the same position though! My af is due on the 11th. I have a FRER coming on Friday but it’s only Sunday and it feels like forever! I am so impatient. I’ve been feeling dizzy, extremely tired and having crazy dreams and intense thirst. I’m really hoping these are symptoms! If I’m not pg I will have had no excuse to be such a moody cow this week haha.
Good luck all!

JLM1008 · 02/08/2020 12:05

Hi guys

Can I join? I’m 12dpo today and I’ve got a faint positive 😍 this is ttc cycle 2 for baby #3. My period is due Tuesday or Wednesday so I’m still a little apprehensive about it showing up.
