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

@kalecat what a lovely anniversary present that would be 💕

AF ended yesterday, now the boring part of the cycle. Ovulation expected on the 15th. OH and I get married in exactly 3 weeks from today, so at least that is keeping my mind busy!

@fran2020 I hope you are keeping well and your gynae appointment goes well 💕.
@samibo congratulations 💕
@AnnaPosie I hope you managed to dtd and get your bfp soon.
@Littlebee1990 good luck in your tww . I have everything crossed that this will be your month . I hope you have a loveky break away.

I am in the no man's land just now. CD9 ovulation expected between CD14 and CD18 so will see when it will be this month. opks are light . OH is taking vitamins and has started going to gym . I am also taking vitamins, shakes etc and going for walks . I have read that regular activity can help so here's hoping. If anything ttc will get me healthier 🤣. x

Hey, I hope you are all well? I've taken some time off MN to focus on things. Plus I have now been referred to Gynae (as well as the fertility clinic) because of my ultrasound results.

@Amelia891 @SamiBo Congratulations!

@Littlebee1990 love your encouragement. DTD quick!! 😂

@Amelia891 aww good that sounds like positive progress. Mine have eased too and turned into more like the mild background ache I get usually throughout my period. The bleeding seems to have stopped this morning too which is a relief. I did call my gp for a bit of advice but she just said there’s no way to know until I test again in a couple of weeks to make sure all is still progressing. 🤷‍♀️

Good Luck @AnnaPosie 🤞🏼

Congrats @SamiBo! My cramps are ok, they were never super intense, just like mild AF cramps. They are definitely easing off but I’ve still got a bit of a lower back ache. Just worried me a bit as I do not remember having any kind of AF/cramp feelings when I was pregnant with DD1. How are your cramps now?

Sorry for the spam, internet was dodgy and didn't think it had posted, I can't seem to delete my comments 🙈

After my ovulation revelation during the week , turns out I am ovulating today, did a cheap test and dark line and did clear blue to make sure but of course my OH got stung by a load of bees and is too tired to DTD... If I didn't laugh I would cry 😂🤣 we've been "busy" this week so fingers crossed we are covered but would definitely preferred to have DTD today 🙈😭😂

@Samibo fingers crossed for you ♥️♥️♥️

@Amelia891 congratulations! Great news.
I got a bfp too yesterday (4 days late). I was so excited but through the night I’ve had bad cramps and I’m bleeding this morning. Not a huge amount and no clots but it’s an alarmingly bright red. Excitement has been replaced with worry. How are your cramps doing? Hope everyone’s doing ok!

@dogman there really should be, I can't believe how clueless I am! I was using cheap euro shop tests and the instructions in the back are the same as pregnancy tests so that's why I thought I needed two line s, thank God for this forum 😂😂🙈😊

@Annaposie there should actually be a college course on all of this!! Instead of all the terror they fill you with about falling pregnant if you miss the pill, condom splitting etc etc hope you get the hang of your opks, it can be so confusing but @littlebee1990 pic with her tests on a really good example of daily progression. Don't be put off though if you get days where the line is faint then slightly darker then faint again, it doesn't necessarily get darker every every day, and your peak is only when the line is as dark or darker x

@littlebee1990 ahhh ok 😂😂🙈 this makes more sense 😂😂 ok perfect thank you !! I just thought if it was two lines it means you are ovulating 🙈 I'll have a look back at the pics I took, I definitely had one darker than the control line , thanks again. I need to go an do a college course on this 😂

This is my first month tracking my ovulation, I've been taking daily tests and getting positive results for the last 6 days, yesterday had the strongest line, is this normal? I didn't think ovulation lasted this long ?! 🙈 I'm googling but getting more confused 😂

@Amelia891 congrats!!

Seems like we are getting lot's of positive stories in the last week or so👏👏👏♥️

@1992EM thank you :) going to see your bfp soon!

@Amelia891 congratulations

Just got a very definite bfp. 3 days late. Can not believe it, really felt like AF was coming. Over the moon but also in shock! Hoping the cramps I’ve been having aren’t anything bad. So far everything has been different to last time symptom wise which I think is what threw me!

@nottherealslimshady thank you. I have everything crossed for you that this little bean stays stuck x
