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

Fingers crossed for you @Fran2020

My miscarriage is complete. App says to start OPKs monday and I got a bluetooth thermometer so I'm ready to start again. Cycle 3 coming up 🤞

@Fran2020 I love how positive you always are, your baby will be super lucky to have you as a mummy when the time comes 💛

Evening, how is everyone?
I've been lurking in the background with not much to report! I'm CD13 and had my two peaks on the CBFM, so I am going to assume tomorrow is 1DPO. Feeling positive 😊

@Nottherealslimshady I hope your ok, sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

@Littlebee1990 sorry that your chemical has messed up your cycle for this month. Lots of my friends got pregnant straight away too and here I am on month 14...

@cd24x day of peak normally gives you the best chance. Sperm will be sat there waiting for the egg to be released tomorrow. I normally ovulate day after my peak anyway xx

@cd24x that timing sucks, maybe he can post you samples 😁

@Kalecat I'm sorry for your chemical, it might be good for you to have a short break and focus on eachother.

AF has ended today after our unexpected chemical on Friday/Saturday. Haven't told our family, not sure if we will. All the baby conversations that come up makes it hard to hold back.
We won't be TTC this month unfortunately as the potential due date just doesn't work for our family. So I won't have much to report until September. Just going to use OPKs to make sure my cycle doesn't go wonky.

@DoctorBambino thankyou and for replying to me. Still no sign of AF, I'm very confused. Baby dust to you!

Hi ladies 👋 been lurking for a bit as nothing much has been happening with me. Finally got my peak OPK this morning on CD29 so looks like it's going to be a 44 day cycle for me 😴 Sod's law I am staying with family for the next few days without OH. We managed to DTD this morning but that will be it until Friday when I'm sure my window of opportunity will be over so I'm not particularly hopeful now for this cycle.

Hope everyone is ok.

@Nottherealslimshady Thinking of you and keeping everything crossed 🤞 that you get some answers soon x

@DoctorBambino thank you. I feel very pregnant and emotional and zero signs of spotting or cramping so no idea what to think (AF 4 days late)

@Littlebee1990 ha! Yes, literally rip them open with my teeth half the time.

@Nottherealslimshady let us know how you get on. Limbo is hard.

@DoctorBambino Just feeling a bit lost tbh. Hope your peak comes soon, I agree the packaging is ridiculous on those things!

@Dinosaurus86 doctor at hospital took a blood test but I dont know what it was and you need two to know what's happening which EPU refused to do.

I think the line might be fading, not sure, I kinda want it to just be gone so I can focus on ttc rather than being in this no mans land.

Hahaha yes they are so bloody obvious. And with the clear blue ones you have to wait about a billion years for the stupid face to appear. I'm trying to keep the pressure off DH and keep my opks on the down low 🙈

I hope you are doing OK @nottherealslimshady 🤍

Sorry to hear you think its another chemical @beepbeep42 😔 TTC is so hard

@Lovebug06 I don't know the answer to your question but really hoping for a BFP for you 🤞

Cd12 here and a blank face on my CB opk still. Why do they make the packets so hard to open!? Every morning there I am DESPERATE for a wee, trying to rip open the stupid wrapping!!

Hope everyone is well

Hi all,
Hope it's okay to join, would like to see if anyone has any advice.
Cycle #6. Ttc #1. My cycle is 28 days every month, that would make AF due on this Saturday the 8th. This month though, I ovulated early around 9/10dpo (used opks) so my AF on one app says I was now due yesterday the 4th. So I'm 15dpo no period. I have never ever been late before, it always starts on the day first thing. I was starting to get excited but I did one of those cheap little tests this morning and bfn. Has anyone had this and gone on to have bfp? I'm so confused as I'm always on time. The early ovulation has confused me! One app still says due Saturday but from ovulation I am 15dpo so another says yesterday! Any advice welcome. Baby dust to you all. X

Fainter line today. Another chemical, ah well.

Took a frer. Faintest double line so not sure.

@Nottherealslimshady really sorry to hear that x

@Littlebee1990 think it's a false positive but we'll see, cervix feels very firm. Only cycle 6 so can't complain but I already feel so exhausted with the TTC. Can relate with the cycles being all over the place, so frustrating.

@Nottherealslimshady have you had blood tests? I’m so sorry the line looks fainter. Perhaps it’s just a variation in the tests or amount of liquid you’ve had? I understand not wanting to get your hopes up though.

Thanks @Littlebee1990 I’m fine. Like all of us I suppose I thought I’d be pregnant by now, even though I knew realistically there was a good chance it wouldn’t work out like that. I confided to a friend the other day who emphasised just relaxing etc etc. Which I find frustrating but she is right. But how are you supposed to be relaxed over something you want so much and which has such an effect on your body (physically and mentally) every month?! Anyway, I’m trying. But 11 dpo is still early so perhaps there is time for a bfp for you. Otherwise it sounds like your body is still sorting itself out. Hopefully next month will be the one. I’m going to try acupuncture in Sept if this one doesn’t work out. At least I’ll feel like I’m doing something proactive.

@Littlebee1990 so sorry, I hope your next cycle is easier x

I think my lines faded today, I guess this is the end, I would be 6 weeks today.

How many dpo are you @Littlebee1990?

That looks like a line to me @Beepbeep42! I’d try a pink dye.

I wouldn’t worry about not dtd on ovulation day @mylittlebean2019 - I think it’s meant to be just as effective the day before.

CD11 and flashing smiley for me this morning...

@Nottherealslimshady how are you today? Have you tested again this morning?

@Littlebee1990 it’s still early days so don’t count yourself out yet! What is your temping saying? Is it still high?

@Beepbeep42 I can definitely see a line! Maybe test in a digital if you can?

My FF finally tracking my ovulation with 3 days of high BBT which is a relief as worried I wasn’t actually ovulating after this ridiculous long cycle. My only worry is we didn’t DTD on the day of ovulation itself. We did it for the 3 days before when I had my peak OPK so fingers crossed there was still some swimmers hanging around!! Now for the long TWW...

Faint line help guys. I've "tweaked" image so you can see on phone but I dunno if I'm imagining things. 16dpo today so it shouldn't be so faint but still no AF (CD32). Should I try pink dye FRER? Is this a CP?
