Ooh I see a little summa-something there! Tomorrow will be the decider but I'd be tentatively excited if I were you!! Xx

MrsReader · 26/08/2018 11:13

10DPO and I think I may be pregnant 🤞🏻 heard so much about evap lines on blue dye tests tho so off to buy some FRERs today

MrsReader · 26/08/2018 11:15

Ooh rollerskaterdata how exciting 😃

Flappergirl86 · 26/08/2018 13:01

@mrsreader congratulations!! Looks good! X

rollerskaterdata · 26/08/2018 15:03

@MrsReader that is much clearer than mine! Huge congrats! I think mine is a shadow (heard FRERs do that so I'm not excited lol). Next few days will tell for sure x

mussie · 26/08/2018 15:50

@rollerskaterdata I'm fully expecting AF tonight or perhaps tomorrow morning - had a tiny bit of spotting this morning, with nothing since, but that was the first sign of AF last cycle. So not planning on testing again! I mean unless AF doesn't show for another few days, but that's highly unlikely. I will live vicariously through your tests 😁

@MrsReader that line looks very promising!! Good luck with the FRER 🤞🏻

Still on the bus as nothing here! No cramps or anything...... We will see. I fly home tomorrow.

MrsReader · 26/08/2018 17:08

Keep us updated roller! FRER has deffo confirmed it- a lovely strong line 😄

JustLikeTheySaid · 26/08/2018 17:44

Oh god I'm so jealous lol. Congrats!!

mussie · 26/08/2018 19:14

Congrats @MrsReader!! What are your tips for success Grin

Flappergirl86 · 26/08/2018 19:57

Awwwww yeah @mrsreader ! Also pretty jealous! Best wishes for a happy healthy pregnancy x

MrsReader · 26/08/2018 21:14

Thanks ladies! I used cheap OPK sticks off eBay and tested 3 times a day from cycle day 10 until I got a blazing positive (CD15). Only DTD on CD 12 and 16 so have been lucky!

I also went off my CM which was egg white for the whole fertile window, and I used Ovia app to log it all. It got my ovulation prediction bang on.

Good luck ladies ❤️💪🏻

rollerskaterdata · 27/08/2018 07:56

DH and I were definitely imagining things yesterday, approx 13dpo today according to Flo (although I didn't chart in any way this month) and another BFN on FRER this morning. Also did some googling and apparently FRER are notorious for evaps, plus when we held all my other tests up to the light (been testing since Friday) you can see the shadow on all of them 😂. I'm either due AF today or Wednesday going by my last 2 cycle lengths (since taking IUD out) soooo the waiting continues. Can't say I'm in or out either way until I either get a BFP or AF 🤷‍♀️

JustLikeTheySaid · 27/08/2018 08:49

Period cramps this morning and v light brown discharge so I think that is me out. Could cry.

September is the month to lose a load of weight and see if that helps. But deep down I know there is a bigger problem than just that.

mussie · 27/08/2018 09:59

That's AF arrived for me this morning! Which took a while considering I got my BFN on Saturday, I had ALMOST started pondering that maybe the BFN had just been too early. But no, here she is, as predicted. I think I'll hold off joining the September bus just yet - it's disheartening seeing everyone testing, when you've not even ovulated yet! Might join it in a couple of weeks.

I am after losing a bit of weight as well @JustLikeTheySaid - I lost 2.5 stone before coming off contraception in preparation for TTC, but half a stone snuck back on over the summer. I've signed up to DietBet, so I have a target of losing 5.7lbs in the next 4 weeks or I lose $30 🙈 it's worked for me before with their StepBet app, the money is a real motivator. Might be worth a look if you want to commit 4 weeks to it!

@rollerskaterdata ah that's a shame. Well hopefully if it's AF, she doesn't keep you waiting too long!

Boo to the crimson tides!

I'm on slimming world at the minute. It's quite good consolation for when my period arrives because at least I can continue losing weight and keeping a more slender frame for another month. There's something to be said for being in control of an element of your body when you don't feel you're in control of your fertility. In a none eating disordery way like!

Another negative test today. Bah!

Changingagain · 27/08/2018 17:40

Sorry about af mussie and congratulations to those of you with the bfp's.

I've finally got a positive opk today, two days after af was due, so I guess I'm on the wrong bus now. Hopefully I'll see very few of you over on the September one.

JustLikeTheySaid · 27/08/2018 22:50

Yep I'm fully out. See a few of you on the September bus. X

rollerskaterdata · 28/08/2018 09:19

AF got me this morning so I'm out too! Had a wee cry and now onwards and upwards for cycle number 2! Going to pop out and get some OPKs and preseed for this cycle as I didn't chart this time round. GL to everyone for next month and congrats again to those BFPs this month! X

OohhPickmePickme · 28/08/2018 09:45

Hi All,

im still on the bus!!!

2 days late. 16DPO today. a BFN yesterday - i used a clearblue digital though so i might test with something different later on/ tomorrow. any suggestions for a good test? ive ordered some of the one-step tests from ebay but are they any good?

still no AF symptoms!! still random pulling pains on my right side and i feel kind of heavy in my abdomen area when im walking if you know what i mean?
getting lots of creamy CM too.

why do our bodies play tricks on us? just make a decision already! lol
i wouldn't mind the wait, but i have a big important wedding to go to this weekend with a free bar. id like to know sooner rather than later if i am utilizing that bar or coming up with a plan with the DH so no one notices im not drinking!!

Congratulations to all of the new BFP'ers. :)

thejollytrolleydolly · 28/08/2018 10:18

I'm still on the bus too but maybe not for long! Af due in 2 days but not really having any pre flo symptoms. 13dpo and another bfn this morning not even a hint of a line... we'll see what happens but I may be joining the sept bus too! We'll see if af turns up or not I guess!

GL to those still on the bus!

Flappergirl86 · 29/08/2018 08:11

Period came last night so I'm out too. It's faded away this morning so now I've convinced myself it's an implantation bleed like I do every month. The capacity for denial when TTC is quite something!

OohhPickmePickme · 29/08/2018 18:16

Stiiiiillllll here. Stiiiiiiillllll waiting. another BFN yesterday with a frer.
Still no typical AF signs
Hmm
I wasn't tracking when I ovulated. I'm just going by my app prediction. Maybe it was later.

Im Bored now. Lol I just want to know either way
What happens after Friday? Am I still on the August bus or do I go to septe mber lol

mussie · 29/08/2018 18:22

Sorry to hear that @Flappergirl86. Although, maybe it is just the implantation bleeding! 🤞🏻 for you ☺️

Hope you two are still going @OohhPickmePickme @thejollytrolleydolly ! Looking forward to seeing your BFPs 😁

mussie · 29/08/2018 18:23

@OohhPickmePickme haha cross post. I guess you would go to September?? Must be late ovulation! Or late implantation 🤷🏼‍♀️
