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

Has anyone use conceieve plus ? I have tried preseed the last two months and thought I would try this to see what one I prefer. Also any advice on what preconception vitamins are best . I am currently taking pregnecare and have done for around 5 months now. I have just ordered another box but considering if I don't conceive this month then what else I can try. Hopefully my ovulation and peak will fall during the week and we can avoid the days my oh is doing 13 hr shifts.

@beepbeep42 congratulations, I hope you BFP continues to get stronger.

@kalecat I like @nottherealslimshady idea of getting the bar staff on board. They would definitely go with it .

Congratulations @Nottherealslimshady !

Back after last months CP. 10dpo and got a faint BFP on a FRER and internet cheapy (darker than the faint line at 16dpo last month). We're trying not to get our hopes up again but it's incredibly hard not to.

@Kalecat I actually didnt even make it to the venue. Played drinking games on the way there, then spent the whole night in the toilet till DH came and picked me up! 🤦‍♀️😂

Do you have a wedding coordinator or head waiter or anything like that? Or the barman even. Just tell them that if anyone buys you a drink to make it non alcoholic. The staff will really have your back. Fingers crossed you're carrying your baby at your wedding, that would be so lovely 💕

@Nottherealslimshady LOL don't even want to know how much you drank during bachelorette 🤣 I like the excuse, just not sure my family would believe it!!
@1992EM I like the idea of a non alcoholic champagne... it's just somehow obtaining it throughout the night without anyone noticing 🤔 lol.
My best friend (she's already got a 22 month old) and I are in a light hearted race to see who will conceive first, so hopefully I will win! 🤣 however it would be so funny to be due the same time. got my fingers crossed for a sticky one in September 🤞🏼

@Kalecat I didnt drink on my wedding day because I got so ill on my bachelorette party that I was traumatised. For those I didnt want to know how messy I got I told them I wanted a clear mind so I would remember everything perfectly :)

@kalecat thank you . Congratulations when you big day comes. I hope september is a lucky month for you ttc. I would just get some non alcoholic champagne and nobody would know or just hold a drink and when you go up to dance put it somewhere and just don't go back for it 🤣. Another reason could be you are on antibiotics but I think by changing to non alcoholic drinks you will get asked less questions.

Ah, so sorry @1992EM I was hopeful for you 🤍.
I'm expecting AF tomorrow, which is unfortunately my bachelorette party day 🙄. OH and I are getting married 26 September, however we are still going to TTC in about 2 weeks. Not sure what I will say if I cannot drink on my wedding day. That's a pretty hard day to make up a lie lol.

@Amelia891 Thank you 💕 I hope AF stays away for you but if not the September is a good month 👍

Congrats @Nottherealslimshady !!
Sorry to hear that @1992EM hope you’re ok.

After getting my hopes up slightly with what I thought might be implantation cramps last week, AF is due Sunday and I have all my usual PMS symptoms so fairly sure I’m out this month. September is the month 🤞🏼

@nottherealslimshady @annaposie @littlebee1990 thank you 💕

Only at 12 dpo so a bit concerned that is too short but have just read below 10 is only considered to be short. Anyway onwards and upwards. Onto the next one. Lots track of what month I am on now. Either 5 or 6 x

@nottherealslimshady ahhh so pleased for you!! And it's great that you are feeling positive. Good to know you were more chilled about things this month, loads of people say that and maybe that's the trick x

@1992EM so sorry to hear that, take some time to do something nice for yourself xx

I'm so so sorry @1992EM

No need to test. AF has arrived 😔

Thankyou @Littlebee1990 that sounds like a good plan. You could get some non-alcoholic versions of what you drink to feel like you're still enjoying it. Non alcoholic kopparberg is awesome! I have everything crossed for you this month!

@1992EM thank you :) those sound like good symptoms, sending baby dust for tomorrow!

Fingers crossed @1992EM!

@littlebee1990 so glad you got your peak .

@nottherealslimshady What an amazing line. Massive congratulations 💕

I keep thinking AF has started but just discharge like when you ovulate. Never had that before AF but not so hopeful that AF won't start. I had a strange pulling /cramp that made stop what I was doing to sit down. It wasn't sore just took me by surprise. No idea what it was . Going to test in the morning and will no doubt see a BFN 🙈.

Looks good @Nottherealslimshady!!

I feel really sick today so naturally am frantically googling the rare occasions where women still have a period in early pregnancy

@Littlebee1990 tbh I did less. I drank caffeine and alcohol before I ovulated. I only LH tested in mornings, I ate junk. We didn't worry too much about DTD every day (but still made sure we hit ovulation). Last time I did everything perfect and still lost it at 6 weeks.
You're awesome and there's nothing more you could do, you'll get your BFP soon I'm sure ❤

Thankyou so much guys 💕 I really feel more positive about this, it feels like it's really there 🤞🤞
