Hi ladies! CD 1 for me today, so I’m moving over from the July thread and starting this one (don’t think there is already one). Anyone else now ttc for a BFP in August??

Hi everyone,
Took an ovulation test today - apparently I ovulated on the 9th of August from my apps, so decided to take an ovulation test, two lines have come up, but one is lighter than the other, does this mean we conceived of ovulation has occurred?

Show quote history

It’s difficult to tell from one ovulation test, a single test doesn’t really tell you much - it’s much more useful to take them regularly throughout your cycle. An ovulation test is considered to be positive if the test line is as strong, or stronger, than the control line. The hormone they test is LH, and this is present throughout your cycle so you can get a negative test (test line lighter than control) both before and after ovulation.

if you ovulated on the 9th, it would be too early for any test to detect conception.

@km9371 can you buy first response? That tends to be good and more clear.

blueberrypi27 · 12/08/2024 14:53

Ugh BFN using FMU on 9DPO! Feel like I’m out already this month as my face has erupted in spots 😥

Joining as I've just had a chemical pregnancy 😭

really sorry this happened! i know i cant say anything to make it better but be kind to yourself. I had a CP a few months ago and it was so devastating...you'll get through it even if right now it doesn't feel like it💛

official with a digital at 9dpo 🥲 but i'll probably be anxious until i have a scan and then probably be anxious after that until my due date...but cautiously optimistic.

not sure when to self refer as i feel like i did it too early before and it ended in a loss (was still getting sent letters etc)

Congratulations 🤍🤍

@GreenPickle what a lovely start to the day!!!

@rebecca199 my puppy is called Ada!! If I have a girl ill be tempted to steal it from her 😂

ttcjourney20001 · 12/08/2024 09:08

rebecca199 · 12/08/2024 08:21

@ttcjourney20001 her name is Ada!
We likes all the old fashioned ones so it was going to be Ada, Margot or Norah x

Morning everyone! How you all feeling? Today I've got body aches and temperature is high. Woke up with sore nipples but that's about it. Trying not to think too much into it as I drive myself crazy every month

I've been a serial tester this month. Period due Tuesday or Wednesday but no sign of AF as of yet. Usually I start cramping. Haven't tested for a few days. Should I do a test tomorrow?? I have a clear blue. As of yet I've only been doing the cheapies with negatives every time x

I would save the clear blue until a missed period and continue with cheapies until then xx

km9371 · 12/08/2024 07:52

I'm stressing myself out over these lines!!

The two strips are one step strips, the two middle tests are Superdrug own brand ultra early. They are 10, 10, 11, 12 dpo (I think, I didn't use opk this month and cycle is a bit irregular due to breast feeding)

I thought it'd be darker by now. Driving myself mad. Will try a different test today if anyone recommends a particular brand xx

Chaz693 · 11/08/2024 18:20

Currently 12dpo. BFN but I'm confused as AF should have arrived today but seems to be missing so far! Confused!

Same here…. I’m 13 DPO today…. Day 33 of cycle (usually I’m 29 days) but BFN when I tested on Friday. Very confused! I usually also have quite bad cramping and some spotting but none of those symptoms yet. Just sore boobs. 🤦🏻‍♀️

cocodaisy · 11/08/2024 23:44

I'm currently 13dpo,last night when wiping I noticed Pinky discharge, there was some brown ish stuff too. Later on, whilst on the loo again I felt something come out and it was a small clot. No blood just a clot. Is this normal?!
Today I've felt irritable and I have that feeling that AF cramping will be arriving. I've also had another small clot just fall out.
I'm not due AF until Wednesday.
I took a test and it was bfn. It's most likely AF but still trying to be positive.

km9371 · 11/08/2024 21:46

@ttcjourney20001 I think April 23rd!

1441x · 11/08/2024 21:26

Wow just catching up on this thread having been busy the last week, so many positive posts whether it's a BFP, faint line and some progress with charting and symptom spotting. Let's hope there's lots more baby dust the rest of August! Congratulations everyone who's pregnant and those progressing on the ttc journey

SkaterChick · 11/08/2024 21:07

Think I'm 1dpo today.
I got my peak Thursday and then yesterday I had a sharp stabby ovulation pain and some lingering cramps pain on that side today so the looooong tww begins.
