August testers who’s with me?

Hi lovely ladies
I’m on cd10 with regular 28 day cycles.
Sadly last month I had a chemical pregnancy and my period came bang on the day it was meant to, so I’m planning on trying to not test early this month although knowing me I might....
I believe I’m supposed to ovulate on August 3rd (the day before my birthday!) so I’m expecting a positive test probably August 2nd? I’m looking for some ladies in the same boat this month so we can all support each other x thanks

Thank you @pottypotamus. Good luck on DTD!! X

NavyBerry · 02/08/2019 12:40

@mumof1hants oh congratulations! Magic time ahead of you! We want to a picture Smile this will keep us in the right direction!))

I'm about to ovulate this weekend. I haven't got my positive yet but it must be soon. DH is away until Mon so I don't mind having a late ovulation this month)

Do you want to have a boy or a girl? Any preferences anyone?

Ohana6419 · 02/08/2019 12:58

Ooh I'll join if I can as I think today or tomorrow is ovulation for me (thinking today due to bloating last day or two but we'll see what temps do).
If it's today then I will probably test at 12DPO which would be 14th August

mumof1hants · 02/08/2019 16:10

@NavyBerry here's a pic at what I think is 12/13dpo.

I have no preference, would be happy with either. I won't be finding out until the birth either, I love the surprise! X

flossy12 · 02/08/2019 18:24

Going to be testing the 8th August over here xx

mumof1hants · 02/08/2019 19:17

@NavyBerry it won't let me post a pic!

sao81 · 02/08/2019 20:35

AF due 19th August, may teat with a FRER a tad earlier if I get inpatient!

mumof1hants · 02/08/2019 21:02

@flossy12 hey! Nice to see u here! Good luck, only a few more dats to go! I didn't think u we're trying this cycle? Or did u just go for it in the end?! 🤪 x

flossy12 · 02/08/2019 22:36

@mumof1hants ended up DTD 3 times around ovulation 😅 although we did pull out 🤷🏼‍♀️ we didn't want to try as DSS birthday would be around due date if we caught this month, however DTD 3 times before ovulation as well before we realised so there's a possibility 😂

Said to OH don't get your hopes up this month, but due AF on the 7th so might not end up having to test if she shows up x

mumof1hants · 02/08/2019 22:45

@flossy12 eeek there's still a chance tho! Exciting! Xx

Elles1980 · 02/08/2019 23:39

@0hana6419 were exactly the same dates so will also be testing on the same day too!! Would be lovely to keep in touch! Hi ladies I hope it's ok to join. 4 darling children, almost 40 and slightly overweight mumma here but super positive and raring to go! Had a truly terrifying miscarriage in may. First period June, tried to concieve July but failed so here I am again yayyy!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you all Flowers

flossy12 · 03/08/2019 10:01

@mumof1hants Even though it isn't the time we wanted if we've caught we will still be ecstatic 😍👏🏼

mumof1hants · 03/08/2019 11:59

@flossy12 fingers crossed for you! X

flossy12 · 03/08/2019 12:28

Thank you! 😘

CrazyFooLady · 03/08/2019 13:43

I will be testing around the 13th, apparently it's the day when Aunt Flo is about to rock up for another surfing holiday 🙄

pottypotamus · 04/08/2019 07:46

How is everyone doing? We didn't manage to dtd on what I thought was ov day. We only did it 2 days before. So don't know how much my chances are lowered by. Oh well. We'll see. AF is due 16th I think.

mumof1hants · 04/08/2019 08:22

@pottypotamus don't worry! We didn't DTD on o day or the day after and I got my BFP ☺️ x

pottypotamus · 04/08/2019 08:55

I'm still in with a good chance then Smile
I'm looking at it with a glass half full approach. We are attending a wedding next month, so if I catch...then amazing! If I don't catch then I can have a few drinks and let my hair down at the wedding Grin

NavyBerry · 04/08/2019 09:28

I think I'm out. I have not ovulated yet according to the tests so previous attempts won't probably count. And I don't want to continue dtd as I have a nasty cold I have been taking night nurse and other stuff. Sad shame

pottypotamus · 04/08/2019 11:47

@NavyBerry
Fingers crossed you just missed your surge on the OPKs and did ovulate 🤞🏼

mumof1hants · 04/08/2019 12:15

@NavyBerry what cd are you on? I usually ovulate cd14 but I didn't get a positive last month so I carried on testing and it appeared on cd21! Totally unusual for me! X

82YorkshireLass · 04/08/2019 12:41

Hi everyone! This is our first month trying and my first time here. I've had a couple of (I think) positive ovulation tests the past couple of days. My period's due around the 16th - I haven't bought any tests yet, I was planning on lurking around here to find out which ones are most recommended. Clearly all very new to this! Fingers crossed for everyone. x

SunStruck · 04/08/2019 14:07

I'll join too :) cycle 1 of trying after miscarriage and d&c. Have got 5 flashing smileys on OPK so far, really hoping I'll get my solid one tomorrow!

NavyBerry · 04/08/2019 14:49

@mumof1hants it does sound like what is happening with my ovulation. It might happen on 18-19 day as the tests are slowly getting darker but that leaves me with a very short luteal phase as my cycle is only 25-26 days. Not good.

chocpop · 04/08/2019 17:46

Mind if I join?

We have properly started TTC this month for #2. My DD is 6 months and I always wanted my kids close together in age so it makes sense for us to start TTC now considering it might take a while. AF is due around the 17th so I've still got a long wait until testing/AF comes but looking forward to reading everyone's experiences!
