End of November testers (TTC August Baby)

Hi Everyone. I was here last month and convinced myself I was having symptoms but every test was stark stark white. This month my period was late a couple of days, we only dtd once and well after ov. So 27th I took an ic and there was a faint line after the time limit. Took a different brand ic (in new wee) and there was a faint line again after the time limit (nothing usually appears and these were faint pink). Yesterday, I did 2 brands of ic again and faint lines came up in the time. Faint faint faint. Couldn't believe it whatsoever so ordered frer. Today I got my period, very heavy, but did a frer for peace of mind anyway and its the FAINTEST line. So presuming a chemical.. Such a roller-coaster of emotioms right now 😵‍💫

@peaky297 before and possibly during. I get crippling pains at the same time as my peak everytime without fail

Hi everyone!

Question for those of you who use ovulation tests and also have ovulation pain - does your pain come before, during or after your egg release in your experience?.

@SarahEvans1996 I ended up getting my period unfortunately, I was so sure I was seeing a line too! I'm on CD 10 now! Have you tested recently? Any sign of AF? ❤

@BabyBx what was the update?

I'm currently 5 days late, no sign of AF no cramping ect, I was due on Wednesday and I'm always regular and on time, Thursday I had slight on off mild cramps nothing compared to when AF is arriving, slightly sore boobs on the sides, on off other symptoms aswel like hear burn and headaches, Ive done 4 tests 2 yesterday and 2 today and negative :(

Hi everyone 🙂 I'm cycle 6 ttc #1 and I'm 11dpo today had a bfn on ic today so think I'm probably out but time will tell. How long has everyone been trying?

@BabyBx pretty sure I see a line there!!

@BebeYoda fingers crossed you’ll get a nice little surprise! I feel I’ve hit this point too, ive exhausted my list of things I could google or YouTube videos I could watch on the subject 🙈 getting ever so slightly DESPERATE for it to just hurry up and happen now

@Elephantrose18 awk ☹️ Cycle 4 for me too and I conceived on cycle 3 with my little boy so when we started out I had it as ‘worst case scenario’ we’re still trying 3 months in and now here I am on month 4 🙄 it’s not a long time in the grand scheme of things but it just feels like you’re holding your breath for 4 months desperately waiting for it to happen and you start to have the whole pity party every time it doesn’t happen 😩

Aww sorry to hear AF arrived for some of you I wish mine would come or I'd get a bfp!

So I'm CD 32.. late by 1-2 days and I just tested (afternoon) and I swore I saw the faintest line but then again it looks completely negative so I'm probably wishful thinking 😩 can anyone see anything or is it 100 percent negative? ❤❤

AF arrived today. Having completely obsessed for the last two weeks, to the point where I couldn't get anything done and was convinced I was pregnant, I'm not going to actively try this month, or test for OV etc. If it's meant to be, it will - but I can't do this to myself every month 😅

Wishing everyone still to test lots of babydust, and for everyone else out this month, I wish you all the luck in the world for your next cycle 💕

@Elephantrose18 gutted for you that AF turned up :(

I'm 11dpo today and it's only thismorning that I've woken up with slightly sore boobs/nipples, I wanted to take a test first thing thismorning but didn't get a test yesterday 🤦‍♀️ so I'm going to pick some up today and take one later🤞🤞 if it's negative then that's the only test I'm doing this cycle as doing multiple tests just to see more negatives takes its toll 😞
I will report back later after my tests 🤞 x

Well AF arrived fully yesterday, on time! it really is disheartening. now onto 4th cycle trying. 😞

This has been the most bizarre month for me of all! Spotting between cycle (never experienced before). AF(?) arrived bang on time but VERY light which is super unusual. Didn’t feel very AF-y either with minimal cramps. However I have had the flu-bug that’s going around so am bunged up and snotty. Could this impact AF?? God only knows

Cycle day 30 here, period was due yesterday or today. Still no sign, boobs killing and I'm very emotional, but cheapie tests says negative. So I guess I'm out again this month 😔

My period has finally arrived. Day 52. I'm celebrating that it's finally shown up and we can move on!!

Does anyone track BBT?
I don't test with ovulation tests and don't really understand how BBT works, so I started taking my temp for the hell of it, so it's been very inconsistent 😂

But can anyway shed some light on what it's looking like so far?
I have read that it's not really a reliable way of tracking anything but I guess it doesn't harm to start doing it! But also can anyone explain how exactly it works and how I should be doing it, things I've read on Google are very confusing! 😂

I'm 9dpo today according to my flo app, 8dpo according to premom, but obviously like I mentioned I don't do ovulation tests so it could actually be way off! 😂 This is when we BD aswel, so my fingers are crossed for this cycle 🥺 we've been trying since end of August after having a miscarriage in July, I'm so ready for our rainbow baby💕

Thankyou!

Congrats to the BFPs and sorry to those who are out.

I got a BFN this morning 10DPO so feel like I'm probably out. Slightly sore boobs but no other symptoms. AF should be due tomorrow but after ovulating late the app suggest that it won't arrive for a few more days... let's see.

I've decided not to test again until Monday as I've got a big night out with my friends on Saturday.

@Misspotterscat I'm sorry to hear that. I've seen on this thread that Evening Primrose can help to increase EWCM. Sending lots of baby dust for you for your next cycle.

@BebeYoda sorry about your bfn. AF has shown up for me this afternoon, a day early. Really trying not to be too sad about it. I am currently researching how to increase ewcm as I think that could be one issue with me.

@ScotsBaby2 and @Misspotterscat BFN for me today too at 12DPO and I have the usual pms backache so I think I'm out too.

I was sure I had an IB (pink/brown cm) at 8 and 9DPO, but if it had been it should really have shown up on a FRER by today. I'm going to try not to waste any more money on tests unless AF doesn't come in 2 days.

I don't have any pre-AF spotting today, which I do normally have. So maybe it was just a late implantation and didn't happen when I think it did 🤔

I'm not sure we'll try again after this cycle if it doesn't happen this time. I'll be 42 in April :( Maybe it's just not meant to be. Feeling just a little sorry for myself today 🥹

Good luck to everyone still left to test 🧚‍♀️

@Elephantrose18 I'm really sorry to hear this, it really is tough. Hoping AF stays away for you

@Surprised90 Congratulations 🎉🎉 That's lovely news

@marleyandme Lovely to hear your lines are getting stronger ☺️

@CityKity I've tested again on my cheapies and the line is stronger than yesterday and also got a FRER and that's got a big strong line so I think I've got incredibly lucky! 😊 I need to stop testing now 😂

@Elephantrose18 oh I’m so sorry the tests have been inconsistent and messing with your emotions. You say you think AF is coming, but you’re not out until you’re out so 🤞for you.

@marleyandme are you testing again today?! Everything crossed for you
