August Testing Pond (Follow on from 24th-4th July) thread 3

@kalecat It is so hard but we will all get there. I hope you have ana amazing wedding and you'll get an extra special wedding gift

@1992EM I know you're absolutely right. TTC just making me a little crazy this cycle I think 😂. Thank you 🤍

@kalecat I read around 84% of woman implant between 8 and 10 dpo and only 0.5 on 6 dpo. It could be you haven't implanted yet and once implanted it takes 2 days for enough hormone for early tests to detect. I would give it a few days as you say. Your not out until AF shows. I have everything crossed for you x

Torturing myself and took an FRER this morning at 8dpo lol. Negative. I think I'm testing so early because i'm worried I'll have another chemical & want to see the progression. Definitely holding off until 11dpo now. That's when I got a clear positive last time, and probably could've got one at 9 or 10 if I had tested that early. I think if it's negative on Tuesday then I'll definitely be out.

@dogmam I've still be doing opks and they are negative so don't think its ovulation . I did have ovulation cramps last weekend though . The ones I had this morning have now gone. Probably just overthinking every twinge 😅🤣.

@dinosaurus86 thanks. Hopefully it is and will lead to a BFP but we will see💕. Good luck with your cycle 💕

Hi @Littlebee1990, I hope everything is ok. I don’t think it’s possible for those tests to give a totally accurate result so I would try not to worry too much for now. I realise that’s impossible though!

Yes that’s right @dogmam. On the podcast recommended on here a while back they said the day 21 was an important one to go for. I guess I could ask my GP but because I’m still under 35 I think I’d have to wait another six months to hit the year mark. It’s not super expensive to have done privately. It’s really just for confirmation for me, since the clearblue strongly suggests I am ovulating regularly. I am a bit concerned about DP’s sperm for various reasons but haven’t attempted to broach analysis with him yet... I will give it a couple more months. I’m away this week but have booked my first acupuncture session for the 28th! Am quite excited about it! I know people say just to relax but I feel less anxious if I can feel like I’m doing something to make a difference. I might also do the day 3 bloods (I understand you can actually do that anytime day 2-5) next month - too difficult to organise now this time!

Fingers crossed for you @1992EM! Perhaps it can be implantation - there are lots of things not fully understood.

@dinosaurus86 how are you feeling today? I hope you have a lovely time away and can switch off.
Is the 21 day bloods to check you have ovulated? I've heard something about 5 day and 21 day bloods, don't know much about either. Could you not get these through your normal GP rather than going private?
I cant stop thinking about ttc/is something wrong with me/will it ever happen etc. Don't know why I'm taking it so hard this month.

@1992EM could you possibly be ovulating later and that's what the cramps are?

@Annaposie how are you? Has AF arrived? It is a rough feeling, it's absolutely shit!

@littlebee1990 I'm sorry you didn't see what you wanted to on your test this morning, easier said but try not to look too much into it at this point, it may just take a few more days to change over, test again next week or maybe even test on a frer again and look at the line progression, you can get a better understanding by the colour rather than the digital. I'm sure all will be absolutely fine x

@littlebee1990 thank you . Although just read you actually don't get cramps during implantation and cramps can be caused by the rise in hormone which happens anyway during the luteal phase.

It might just be too soon for it to be 3week+ I don't really understand them but 2-3 might take in 2 weeks and 3+ would not show for 2 weeks . The 1-2 may have been later in that stage when you tested and that's why 2-3 showed a week later when you tested . I have everything crossed that you get your 3+ test soon 💕

I have woke up to cramping. Too early for AF so hoping it might be implantation. 6 dpo today. AF due next Saturday which will be CD30. Otherwise my cycle is really messed up 🙈

@dinosaurus86 @dogmam @AnnaPosie sorry to hear you think AF is on her way 😥

@dogmam I am coping alright as busy with work. I know I can't test until next Friday so just not thinking about it until then . Thank you for asking 💕

Sorry to hear that @dogmam, I wish we were BFP twins not just cycle twins! I’m going on holiday (not far) this evening so I’m trying to push it out of my mind. I’ve decided to book a private day 21 blood test next month and to start acupuncture, which I’ve been debating for a while.

I can see something faint on the inverted one @Kalecat, but very early!!

Fingers tightly crossed for a nice strong heartbeat @Littlebee1990!

@dogmam ah sorry to hear that , I'm waiting on AF to arrive , can feel her on her way , two days late but I know she's on her way , it's always a rough feeling xx

@Kalecat I do see a very faint line. Like mine at that stage. Fingers crossed it gets darker x

@littlebee1990, I bet that was a bit nervy with the drinks, pleased the waiter played along and you were able to not raise suspicions! Have you told anyone yet, or are you waiting until your scan. I've got everything crossed for you that the 3rd October will bring you less worry, it's my 30th that date so will have a drink to your growing bub!

@kalecat step away from the tests 😂 give it at least a few more days and hopefully you'll see your bfp.

@1992EM still early days, hope you're not going too crazy in the tww.

11dpo here and also woke up to spotting. Absolutely gutted, stupidly I really thought this was going to be my month but yet again, not meant to be.

@dinosaurus86 I'm so sorry, know how you are feeling ☹

Spotting this morning after two days of cramps so I guess I’m out yet again

@1992EM some ladies in the WTE app are able to see it, so it gives me a little hope 😂 I know you're supposed to be extra fertile after a loss, so we shall see! I ovulated early this cycle so not entirely sure when AF will come... just guessing at this point 😅

@kalecat I am rubbish with lines . I hope you are right and a line does appear. I think it is super early though and has to be at the earliest 5 days before a period is due for a frer. Have everything crossed for you x

@Littlebee1990 that's ok! I know it's super early, just been bored at home & still not working 😂 this is inverted. Think I'll hold off a couple days now

This is the earliest I've EVER tested but I couldn't help it. I've been exhausted and an emotional wreck today. Took an IC... whats everyone think? Should be around 7dpo... however I ripped open an FRER but all it gave me was an indent line.

@littlebee1990 I know the feeling I rarely go to bed past 10 these days and if I do I suffer the next day . I am not pregnant so God knows what I will be like if I do end up pregnant 🤣
