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

@Kalecat These were mine from Monday AM and then Wednesday AM
Mine were strong last time before AF so thats why I'm not getting my hopes up just yet

@Spinksy9 you have a strong line for not even missing AF yet! Your lines are stronger than mine. I didn't take an FRER today, but I did yesterday & 12 dpo. Progressing slowly.

Thanks for the new thread @Littlebee1990 and fingers crossed for you this month! Personally, I would have a couple of drinks but try to avoid the hot tub.

I am (hopefully) a bit further ahead than I would have been given that AF came early. I had a squinter on a FRER but lots of red blood so haven't bothered testing again as BFNs really depress me. Now CD 6 and starting to feel a bit more normal. Moving on and back on the grapefruit juice! Cycle 4 for me. Age 33 and ttc #1. We will be dtd every other day in fertile window as we tried every day and dp really struggled with the pressure! Definitely legs up though.

Hi everyone, I’m due AF around the 8th. I had a miscarriage in June at 10 weeks pregnant.
I have a 10 month old DD, but at 41 we decided to try for a second Sooner rather than later.

@Kalecat
I agree with you about femometer ones!
My FRER was yesterday and the Femometer is this mornings! They are so hard to get a clear positive one

Thanks for creating the new thread @Littlebee1990 ! About the alcohol and hot tub, that's tricky! Some people go about their lives and conceive anyway so... need to enjoy yourself once and a while right!?

@Spinksy9 congrats on your pregnancy- hope all goes well! :)

Today at 15 dpo I FINALLY got a pretty visable line on the fermometer cheapy. (The top one in photo, 14 dpo on bottom) I will honestly NEVER recommend their HCG strips to anyone. The ovulation strips work great but the HCG strips are terrible. I've been getting clear positives on other tests since Sunday (even ones with less sensitivity), so these a junk. Don't use them if you want internet cheapies.
Now that my rant is over... 😂 seeing the doctor soon!

@spinksy9 Have everything crossed this one will stay stuck 💕. AF arrived for me 2 days early so on cd3 now. I'm away next week which will be a nice distraction and back just before ovulation week which has worked out well.

Thank you @Littlebee1990 @1992EM
I'm trying not to get my hopes up as not passed the AF due stage yet. Its such a worry!
I wasn't going to test early but was advised too, so that if I had any more CPs I could go to the GP and get to correct treatment!
How are you 2 doing?? When are you testing.x

@spinksy9 congratulations 💕

@Littlebee1990 did it mess up your cycles?
I'm doing good, found out I'm pregnant again, but not getting my hopes up after last month. However i feel a lot more pregnant this time.
Hopefully this will be a good cycle for you too?I would avoid getting in a hot tub, drinking a couple you will be fine. I got hammered 2dpo! Wouldn't recommend it though!xx

hey @Littlebee1990! How are you doing?.x

@littlebee1990 Oh that's a hard one . Why not say you have a uti and that will cover both issues. x

@Littlebee1990 I think they advise keeping body temperature at normal levels for implantation so would try to avoid the hot tub or just have a quick dip if you do! A little drink should be fine as if there is an embryo it will be doing its own thing rather than getting nutrients from you that early on.

Thank you ladies!
I really don't feel pregnant at all - no symptoms of note - so I doubt it but will let you all know how I get on 😘

Hmm...that's a tough one @Littlebee1990
I love a hot (like...so hot I might actually cook) bath and have been avoiding them just because I'd heard extreme heat can sometimes affect implantation but it seems like everything is something to overthink and worry about 🤣
Personally I'd probably avoid the tub and partake in a couple of drinks - but that's just me!

Morning all!

I am 33 and this will be my 14th cycle trying to conceive #1.

Like @Fran2020 I am going through fertility testing too. I have had blood tests so far and all normal. I have my HSG test on Friday.

@mylittlebean2019 this is where a dye is put through your womb and Fallopian tubes and they can check they aren’t blocked.

Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all ❤️

@mrswilso Fingers crossed for your test. Hopefully it is BFP. From what I red , implantation can be any colour so long as there is no clots in it. 💕

You're a diamond @Littlebee1990 !

I'm 25, DH 47, TTC for the first time, on cycle 2 and have a BFP but having to wait a week to confirm pregnancy has continued after some spotting.

@mrswilso that is strange, I'd do a frer asap then get to work DTD if nothing comes up.

Morning ladies. I'm 33 and ttc #2. This is our first month trying so thought I'd pop in and say hi. I should be ovulating any day now so will see what happens

Thanks for new thread. I am 28 , ttc first child and on cycle 4 . I am cd3 of this cycle. My cycle is usually 30 days but ttc seems to have changed that as this month was 28 days.

@mrswilso Very strange! Was it lighter/ shorter than your usual AF?
