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

@littlebee1990 oh what a lovely Post to wake up to. Massive congratulations that is some line on the frer and glad it has progressed on the digital too . Xx

@AnnaPosie Good luck . I hope you get your BFP. The way I look at it is if I am pregnant AF will not show and therefore I will get a strong BFP if pregnant. If not then I don't waste money on test . I am more disappointed and upset by negatives than AF arriving. 🤣🙈 I have a while until AF. Ovulation should be in the next couple of days so dtd as much as we can.

@1992EM

Completely agree, I try and do the same, it's so hard not seeing a trace of pink /red on that stick.

AF is due next week, no symtoms of AF yet but not reading into it too much , I'll try and resist testing until next week .

@Fran2020 I am glad you had a loveky break away. I hope you get your appointment soon and sending lots of luck this cycle.

I am good . Heading into ovulation week. Opks getting stronger. We will see what happens.

No idea when I will test but have managed to not test too earlier or at all the last 2 months. Being back at work makes it harder to test first thing as I hate the thought of a stark white and then having to go to work x

Hey! How is everyone? I'm back from my holiday- it was lovely to get away for a few days! 😊 I'm now around 10DPO.

@1992EM how are you? Thank you, I'm trying to arrange my Gynae appointment but it's tricky- I'm sure I'll get there in the end!

@Littlebee1990 it's definitely good to take time away from MN and googling everything! Thank you, yeah definitely means we are one step closer now! 😊🤞🏼 congratulations again - so exciting!!!!

@Dinosaurus86 how are you? Thank you, yeah definitely glad to be in the process so things can move forward even more!

@Annaposie the temptation is hard! When is AF due? I'm not due until next weekend so aaaggges yet!

@dogmam I'm trying to hold off testing for another week, I would have caved today only that I don't have any tests in the house and couldn't get to the shops🙈

@dinosaurus86 it's so hard hearing other people's news isn't it. It's a good way to think about it though as good timing for a playmate for your little one which will hopefully be in the making very soon. Hope you're ok.

@SamiBo sorry to hear it hasn't worked out for you. Fingers crossed for a lucky next cycle x

@kalecat it really throws you off when something like that randomly happens, just when you think you are finally reading your body correctly!! Glad you managed to dtd though and didn't miss it!

3dpo here and wish I could just fast forward a week!

I’m really sorry @SamiBo, it’s so cruel.

That is weird @Kalecat. Like you say, probably related to the chemical and at least you did catch it!

@Kalecat I wouldn't worry. Still in with a chance. We only DTD day before positive opk and day of ovulation and I got my positive. Only takes one sperm

Ladies, wth?! CD 10 for me and I've had a ton of EWCM so I thought I'd take an OV test and the bloody thing is positive 😭!!! Was completely negative yesterday too.
I never ovulate early, CD 14 or 15 for me always.
My chemical pregnancy in July must be messing with my cycle.
Thank god OH and I managed to DTD last night, and we will have to tonight as well when he gets home. Feeling so upset now that we could have missed this months opportunity to conceive 😞.
Feeling betrayed by my body for surprising me like this lol.

@Samibo so sorry to hear that ♥️

To update, my bfp didn’t work out After all the cramping and bleeding I’ve now had a negative test. Not meant to be I guess. Will try again next cycle 🤞

@SamiBo, yes, apparently she decided and that was that! DP has been surprisingly downcast too this evening - normally he’s really positive about it all

@Dinosaurus86 completely get where you’re coming from. Everyone around me is announcing. I’ve stopped scrolling on fb as much as I can. My sisters just had her 3rd, literally falls pregnant immediately after deciding.

@Littlebee1990 congratulations! Those lines are so exciting. Hoping for the 2-3 next week for you!

Have also sent a slightly desperate email to a fertility acupuncturist...

Thanks everyone, you make me feel a lot better! Am trying to convince myself that I’m happy because it means there will be a good playmate for ours when they decide to make an appearance.

@dinosaurus86 I totally get how you feel. I often feel I don't perhaps respond the way I should when I hear pregnancy announcements. Then I feel awful as it isn't their fault. Then you can't explain why. I just want to know i can get pregnant.

@dinosaurus86 totally get how you feel, my bestie is due soon, she literally never wanted kids , has no interest in them, got pregnant by accident, I just feel so hard done by even though I know that makes no sense ! So I get you ! It's so hard and feels like it was so easy for them and they have no idea what we are having to go through . But it will happen ♥️♥️

@Littlebee1990 the pregnancy isn't going too bad actually, a few weeks of nausea and hunger....then nothing just the odd mild wave of nausea but I can't be sure if that's a normal symptom for me.

I'm currently 11 weeks and had my booking appointment last week and my first scan is due in two weeks so fingers crossed everything is progressing nicely xx

I am struggling a bit this afternoon. Just found out DP’s sister is pregnant with her third. It’s not that I’m not happy for her, I’m just very sad (and incredibly jealous which I know is unattractive) that I’m not too. I would just like to know I can have at least one. It feels like it will never happen.

@Littlebee1990 great progression. I got 3+ on a digi last night. Promised myself I wouldn't test again but i have no symptoms apart from a spotty face and not really fancying food despite being hungry so was convinced I wasn't pregnant. Xx

Great line progression @Littlebee1990!
