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

So thought I would join you ladies if that's OK AF was due 7 days ago we have been ttc for 7 yrs with no success have all but given up have had some extremely light on off spotting for the last two days so not sure what to think now! Confused

@Lettie365 amazing!! congrats xxx

Lettie365 · 30/07/2020 21:26

@KatieFH Thanks! The ICs are two years past their expiration date (they’ve been hanging about in the first aid cupboard for some time! 😂 so I wasn’t expecting them to show much to be honest! AF due on Sunday x

@Lettie365 congratulations!!! That’s so exciting! When is AF due? Wow can’t believe the IC only showed faint but this one is mega strong!

@KatieFH that’s exciting!

Caved this morning and did an IC - just a faint line so took my last FRER... feeling shocked it was so quick (apologies to all of those who’ve been trying for many cycles xxx) I’m approx 12 DPO and my main Synptom has been a sore and scratchy throat!

Sending luck to all those waiting to test.

Be strong @Terri055 💪🏼🙌🏼 We’ve just been saying how I can get emotional at the drop of a hat....but I’m like that all the time since my DD 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

@chillyfields hmmmm heightened sense of smell is a common one isn’t it?

I have it all crossed for you all ❤️

Hopes not high for me after my weird ovulation and my age too. We’ll see 😊

LorrieLu · 30/07/2020 12:54

@KatieFH how exciting! Fingers crossed for you.

Terri055 · 30/07/2020 10:56

@chillyfields sounds promising! I know what you mean - I convinced myself last month too and I wasn't :-( I did feel quite sick the other day but again I dont know if my body is just playing tricks with me - so annoying! last month I was so sure my sense of smell was higher than usual & I was testing every day from 6 days before my period - I actually felt like a crazy person so I'm trying to play it cool this month but I am getting so impatient xxx

chillyfields · 30/07/2020 10:47

@Terri055 yes, brushing my teeth yesterday and today (DPO 5/6) made me gag, also could smell the washing up liquid on a clean glass and had to rinse it again. Trying not to get my hopes up though as last month I managed to convince myself I was pregnant when I wasn't. Not going to test until DPO 10, which is early but I have a very short luteal phase so hopefully might get a result by then 🤞

Terri055 · 30/07/2020 09:51

has anyone been experiencing any symptoms in the 2WW? one thing I forgot to mention was that I got really tearful on the weekend just gone over something so silly (which is not like me) and was really moody, didnt want to really talk to anyone! - I usually get a bit emotional when I'm due on but not full on tears, hoping this could be a sign...

Terri055 · 30/07/2020 09:26

@KatieFH how exciting! Good luck, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you :-)
according to clearblue early detection, I can test from today but I have resisted so far - seeing your post has made me want to cave in though! May try tomorrow as soon as I wake up xxx

HouseOfRunners · 30/07/2020 09:03

@KatieFH at least the drive will stop you.....maybe 🤦🏽‍♀️😄
It’s funny because I always found the cheap dip tests to be the best at very early detection....I’ve never had a wrong result with one but I know a lot of people on here don’t like them at all. Everyone swears by the FRER don’t they? Not really used them myself.

chillyfields · 30/07/2020 08:19

Wow that's exciting @KatieFH! Keeping fingers crossed for you that it sticks.

@HouseOfRunners I drive to France tomorrow so hoping that distracts me enough to not test for a few days ha!

@HouseOfRunners I’m 10dpo today but shouldn’t be testing until 2 days time earliest really but just thought I would and see. These cheap tests can be misleading though I found last month do unless it gets stronger over next few days it could be nothing 😔Confused

HouseOfRunners · 30/07/2020 08:07

Just read back and your AF Is due on the 5th.....that’s a good line for so early. Will you be testing every day now? (I know most of us would so no judgements 😄)

HouseOfRunners · 30/07/2020 08:02

@KatieFH wow I can see it too!! How many dpo are you today?

KatieFH · 30/07/2020 07:39

Too early to test but I caved and I see an extremely faint line - hopefully gets stronger as get closer to AF but could just be evap. Not getting hopes up much but just wanted to share!

Evening ladies, so I’m 10DPO and just woke up on the sofa from a nap. Could be a pg symptom, could just be shattered 😂
I’ve had a couple of BFNs over the last couple of days but hoping it was too early. I’ve had a scratchy throat all week and very thirsty which I did have when I was pregnant with my son. But who knows 🤷‍♀️
I’m meant to be having quite a boozy weekend if BFN so I’m hoping to test on Friday morning which will be 2 days before AF. 🤞

Sip123 · 29/07/2020 18:59

Sorry sent my last message before finishing.. we are currently ttc ovulation due Saturday if I believe the app! Did lh test was increasing for two days but slightly lighter again today, just keeping fingers crossed, and not over thinking it, if that’s even possible.

Sip123 · 29/07/2020 18:51

I have had exact same today had gradually got darker for 3 days now lighter and in heart haven’t ovulated yet!

Klc11066 · 29/07/2020 18:51

Hi ladies, I'm in the same boat, mc early June, I'm due af on the 4th, currently 9dpo. Usually start testing around now but dont think I can deal with that again do trying to wait until the day after af (if it's a no show)

Good luck to you all ❤ xx

HollyWell · 29/07/2020 18:36

So glad I have checked back in on this thread today - I thought I was going crazy googling every little thing to see if it’s a symptom! I thought I would be totally relaxed but now that we’ve started TTC I just want to know! I’ve been so bloated and had sore boobs over the last couple of days but I’m sure that doesn’t really mean anything. AF due 4th Aug and I’ve booked a table at my fave restaurant on that night to celebrate/commiserate (but probably the latter!!!)
Sending love and good luck to you ALL hope we see some bfps from this group next week!! X

ARIO · 29/07/2020 18:02

@HouseOfRunners it's strange! I'm just glad it came because I was worried I wasn't going to ov at all!

HouseOfRunners · 29/07/2020 17:25

Hi can I join?

@ARIO exactly the same as you with peak out of nowhere 😩 and due AF on 6th August....

Good luck to all of you ❤️
