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

It’s back.....🤔

TTC - Aug testers
HouseOfRunners · 02/08/2020 10:43

@LemonDrizzle44 I think they went on for quite a while....but I always dream....then the killer thirst started and didn’t stop the whole pregnancy. Sorry. I sound like the voice of doom for you 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

@AlwaysLay8 I hope your coat and shoes are on ready to go...... 😉

HouseOfRunners · 02/08/2020 10:39

@KatieFH no more lines for me....perhaps something was happening and it’s stalled. Who knows. Due AF on 6th onwards so we will see. Glad to see DH is doing the heavy work 😂 My DH was the same......it was funny, I wasn’t allowed to carry anything 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

@chillyfields I get the jinx completely.....but we love a good scrutinise of tests 😄 will you test again tomorrow?

chillyfields · 02/08/2020 09:45

Thanks ladies! Trying not to get my hopes up but will keep you posted x

Riviera90 · 02/08/2020 09:33

@chillyfields that sounds very promising!! Fingers crossed for you!

My temperature dropped this morning and feeling crampy so think I’m out at 9dpo...also did a internet cheapie this morning it was definitely negative.

Wouldn’t normally get the temp drop/ cramps until day before AF but I’ve been having acupuncture for fertility and I know she’s trying to shorten my cycle so maybe AF will appear tomorrow!

AlwaysLay8 · 02/08/2020 09:31

@HouseOfRunners AF due on the 6th.
Haven't tested yet, got to wait til 11 for the local Boots to open!😂

KatieFH · 02/08/2020 09:28

@chillyfields sounds good! Fingers crossed for you!! X

@chillyfields that's sounding positive. Fingers crossed for you!

I'm 10dpo today and had no implantation bleeding. I had a dip in bbt at 5dpo so hoping that was an implantation dip.

The vivid dreams last night got worse! One even made me jump so much I woke myself up! Then when I went back to sleep I had another one, I was stuck in the middle of 6 tornadoes 😂🤦🏻‍♀️. I hope these don't continue. @HouseOfRunners do you remember how long your dreams went on for with your DD?

chillyfields · 02/08/2020 09:09

@HouseOfRunners no, sadly not. It was barely visible to the naked eye and I didn't want to jinx it! Lol pathetic I know 🤣

KatieFH · 02/08/2020 09:01

@HouseOfRunners ahaha too funny! I can’t help myself. Luckily DH (not officially husband but ah well) is doing all the suitcase carrying and pushing around now! Lovely holiday so far! Excited for Disneyland in a few days but now I can’t go on some of the rides!! Haha.
When is AF due for you? Did you get a faint line again on the IC? Xx

OP posts:
HouseOfRunners · 02/08/2020 08:58

@chillyfields that does sound like implantation indeed!! Do you have a picture we can squint at?

chillyfields · 02/08/2020 08:55

Has anyone had implantation bleeding? I'm 9DPO, and had a bit of pink spotting when I wiped (sorry if TMI) this morning. It's a bit earlier than usual pre-period spotting, also a different colour. I also caved and did a test today with FMU / internet cheapie and there was a little squinter of a line, but so faint it was barely there. Keeping fingers crossed that I'll be joining the BFP wagon in a few days, and sending good vibes to the rest of you ladies x

HouseOfRunners · 02/08/2020 08:50

@KatieFH 😂 it’s like I know you 😂 Glad to hear it! Hope you’re enjoying the holiday.

HouseOfRunners · 02/08/2020 08:49

@AlwaysLay8 when is AF due? Have you ended up testing?
@LorrieLu and I love a good old squint at a line so happy to see any pics 😂

KatieFH · 02/08/2020 08:30

@LorrieLu think it’s every 48 hours that it should get darker so maybe test again tomorrow and see?

@HouseOfRunners had a test left in my suitcase so thought why the hell not - still pregnant 😂

OP posts:
HouseOfRunners · 02/08/2020 08:24

@LorrieLu same for me....so today’s has no hint of a line again and I would expect to see something by now especially with how sensitive the ic’s are. Although it’s not over until AF turns up!

@MummyToPrince sounds like you’ve picked up on something already. Good luck to you.

@KatieFH are you taking a day off from testing? 😉

AlwaysLay8 · 02/08/2020 08:14

So happy to see these BFPs!!
I was going to wait for AF but I have been OUTRAGEOUSLY emotional the last week or so, almost like 10 day long PMS, crying, mood swings, poor DH hasn't known what's hit him. I normally only get PMS symptoms starting today. Plus had some very mild stitch like feelings and twinges in the boobs. So I miiight go POAS today just for 'fun'. But I am prepared for a BFN. Maybe I have been imagining the twinges and I'm just having a pissed off few weeks! 😂

LorrieLu · 02/08/2020 07:46

Hi @MummyToPrince
Mine have been sore as well! I can't remember if I had it with previous pregnancies yet haha! I'm not exactly sure when my period is due, possibly in the next few days.
@HouseOfRunners have you tested yet?

MummyToPrince · 01/08/2020 22:36

Hello ladies! May I join please?
Congratulations to you ladies that have got a BFP!.. I'm due on in 6 days, however I've started getting sore nipples! I'm not one to really symptom spot I just go with the flow, however this was my first symptom with my son x

LorrieLu · 01/08/2020 21:58

Hi!
I have just done a test and got the same line as yesterday. I'm going to take that as a negative for now as I should have been darker. Didn't do a frer as I only have one left!

HouseOfRunners · 01/08/2020 12:17

@LorrieLu let us know what happens as soon as test is done....we are turning into line spotters 😁

@KatieFH oh no....I think it’s probably shock like you say. We strive for it and then when it happens we are like 😳 shiiiiiiiiiiiiit!! (That applies no matter how long you’ve been trying....)

KatieFH · 01/08/2020 11:03

The panic has set in now! Started to feel sick and anxious! Think it’s just shock 😩 hoping it goes off!

@HouseOfRunners with a previous pregnancy my tests were stronger in the afternoon for some reason. My fingers are crossed for you also! No lock down for us since April. We are in QLD. Victoria is getting hit pretty hard at the moment so they are in lock down.
Congrats to everyone with a positive so far! Very exciting!
I'll going to test again in the morning. This waiting game sucks haha

Anyday88 · 01/08/2020 10:19

Thank you everyone! I will probably wait for the missed period now and take it from there. Congratulations for the bfp’s so far!
Keep going everyone 😊

HouseOfRunners · 01/08/2020 08:55

@KatieFH can’t beat some holiday orangina 😄 Is your DH happy he’s seen the word pregnant?

I swear by the IC’s too....they are really sensitive. I know a lot of people slate them but I’ve never had any issues with them. If I remember I think my tests with DD were always stronger in the afternoon....I might try another later or just enjoy the weekend and see what happens next week 😊

@Anyday88 that’s a strong positive in my opinion.....try a FRER, they do say pink dye is much clearer.

@LemonDrizzle44 oh for sure, my dreams were insane when pregnant. I dream 99% of the time but the pregnant dreams were sooooo real that sometimes I wondered if they were real events 🤦🏽‍♀️😄
