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

Congratulations @KatieFH and @Anyday88!!

@40ttc sorry to hear AF arrived. I hope you’re ok x

@KatieFH those tests couldn’t be any clearer!! So worth having to stick to orangina on your holiday for!

@Anyday88 That looks like a positive line to me but I have to admit I’ve never used Sainsbury’s tests before!

@Anyday88 that looks pretty good and solid to me!!! Maybe grab a different brand test today and do again? Looking good though!!

@HouseOfRunners that's interesting! I never knew about vivid dreams being a symptom until I googled it this morning. I don't usually dream (or if I do I don't remember). I checked the lunar calendar as I usually have nightmares with a full moon which isn't until Monday night, so it's not that 😂. I have 1 test left which I think is a clear blue one. Trying not to order more to prevent me from testing early.

@KatieFH AF is due Friday so will wait til then if I can.

Anyday88 · 01/08/2020 07:34

I hope you don’t mind me joining. AF is due on Tuesday, I tested this morning and got this....
I have read bad things about Sainsbury’s tests though so finding it hard to believe.

@LemonDrizzle44 I’ve heard a few people say about vivid dreams!! So it could be! 11dpo is when mine showed up so try hold out a little longer! X

@HouseOfRunners I found IC better than FRER! Came up lots stronger on them, so if you’re getting faint lines on them it’s promising! The FRER is still faint on mine even after clearblue digital says pregnant!
Also thanks for lovely messages guys!!

@HouseOfRunners I’m drinking orangina whilst my partner drinks beers haha. Just a trip over for a week to get away!

@LemonDrizzle44 that was one of my first symptoms with DD.....really vivid dreams every night. Are you going to wait a bit longer or do you have a FRER?

LemonDrizzle44 · 01/08/2020 06:37

Congratulations on your bfp @KatieFH !!!!

I'm 9DPO today and been having strange vivid dreams for the past 2-3 nights. Really trying hard not to test!

HouseOfRunners · 01/08/2020 06:01

@KatieFH I stand corrected....3 tests 😄😄 bravo!!

HouseOfRunners · 01/08/2020 05:36

@KatieFH Oh I’m so pleased for you!! (2 tests no less! 😄) No boozy French trip for you.....or were you going home to France? Massive congratulations ❤️

@LorrieLu I think I can see something and if I invert it there does seem to be a line. Everything crossed for you ❤️

I have friends and some in-laws in Australia, how’s it been for you in lockdown?

AFM.....I did 3 x ic‘s yesterday afternoon and I could see squinty lines.....tested with FMU this morning and literally zero. Who knows what’s happening?!?! 😄

HouseOfRunners · 01/08/2020 05:13

@40ttc I’m so sorry ☹️ I hope the sickness doesn’t last too long for you.

LorrieLu · 01/08/2020 00:10

Ok so tested this morning (Im in Australia) with fmu and got the faintest of lines. A proper squinter! Can you see it? I also did a first response and it was negative 🤷🏼‍♀️

Congrats to all the ladies with there bfp
Well af arrived with avengence has been very heavy for me SadI think I might of had a very early mc or else a chemical pregnancy as had one glass of wine this evening and have spent the rest of the evening throwing up which is the reason I think this might be a mc as with my other pregnancies I had the exact same reaction to alcohol which is how I realised with all three of them! Sad

HouseOfRunners · 31/07/2020 21:11

@KatieFH I knew it 😄😄😄😄 I look forward to tomorrow’s picture!!

LemonDrizzle44 · 31/07/2020 20:56

@LittleChicken11 fingers crossed for when you test! I only have 1 test left and I'm purposely not buying any more 😂 saying that I'll see how these symptoms go!

@KatieFH that's handy there's a pharmacy next door!

@HouseOfRunners caught me red handed!!!! Clocked the pharmacy next to hotel! I’ll be back tomorrow with another test 😂

HouseOfRunners · 31/07/2020 18:47

@LorrieLu I’ll let you know in the morning 👍🏼😄

I’m sure @KatieFH will be back with another test after she’s raided the local French chemist 😂

LittleChicken11 · 31/07/2020 17:37

I think I’ll test on Sunday (at 10dpo) and then again day after AF due (next Friday). I’d like to hold off until AF but too impatient!

LemonDrizzle44 · 31/07/2020 17:12

@LittleChicken11 I'm going to try and hold out til AF due ... if I can. What about you?
