24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies

[Littlebee1990]

New thread for those who were on the May/June thread and didn’t get a BFP, think we’re up to 14 people with a BFP 😍

Anyone who will be testing on above dates welcome, I’ll create a list of usernames and testing date and we will then support each other through the TWW, symptom spotting brain ache and AF arriving or celebrating a BFP. Great if everyone could give a little info about them too!

I’m 30, boyfriend is 27. TTC #1 Cycle 3. Tried SMEP last month and using OPK’s. Not even a hint of pregnancy yet for me but hoping for some baby dust my way this month!

@littlebee - 2nd July

@motherofdinosau well that seems a mega positive sign!

Hi ladies 👋🏻 just catching up after work.

@littlebee1990 I’m always a proper grump the week before AF - hubby notices before I do usually which tends to add to the grumpiness! 3dpo is far too early for that though so maybe you were just subconsciously missing your nightly DTD sesh? 🤣
@dogmam I turned 30 last month and it’s hubby’s 39th birthday tomorrow! He’s been my hairdresser for 13 years! We’ve been together 11 years and married 2 years this August 🥰
@nottherealslimshady aaaah we’ve both got age gap hubbies and both got married in August! Weeeeird! I was August 30th 2018 🥰
@whilstwewait I’m actually starting to think OPKs would make me LESS obsessive about it all and I was dead against trying them until one year was up. I might be jumping on the bandwagon sooner than I thought.
@motherofdinosau love that article, thanks for sharing it! Ooooh a wee bit of spotting in CM and a bit of nip discharge ✨ don’t want to get your hopes too high yet but those sound like very positive signs for 10dpo! 🤞🏻

I’m 3dpo and not feeling very much today. Boobs are slightly more sensitive but it seems to be a bit of a common luteal symptom for me in general...I have had a few wee dizzy moments over the last two days though, once yesterday at about 1.20pm then a few times this morning over the space of an hour or so in work. They only last a few seconds and I wasn’t particularly busy or stressed at all any of the times so I’m not sure what to make of it. Anyone else get this in the TWW?

@motherofdinosau how many dpo are you now? Sounds promising.

@HellloBambinos you sound as mad as me. Im always doing daft things like that

With the CM ive had creamy before my period and not been pregnant. Ive also had completey dry before my period and not been pregnant. So every month is different.

I think from threads i used to be on a lot of people get increased discharge before their period is due and get a positive but loads of others dont see an increase until after their period is late. So as with any symptom when TTC its a bloody mindfield and who knows xx

@mrswilso that's a sweet coincidence 😊 I have read that dizziness is a symptom, something to do with hormone change causing relaxation of blood vessels?

DH was holding my boobs earlier (at my request ofc) and said they feel rock hard and massive so at least I'm not imagining it 🤣

Hello ladies! I’ve been snowed under with work recently so have lots to catch up on the thread. It all got too much trying to balance work and childcare so we’ve come to my mums for a week to help out. Not great timing though as I got my CB static smiley today so had to secretly DTD when my mum quickly popped to the shops it’s like we are teenagers again 😂.

Anyway just wanted to say hello 👋🏼 Will spend the evening catching up on the 12 pages of posts I’ve missed!!

Hope you are all doing ok xxx

@mrswilso funny you should say that about the dizziness because today I felt the same but to be fair I'm only 1dpo.

Me and my other half have been together since we were 15 and 16, like everyone else being very careful not to get pregnant, pill, implant etc and now it's such a stress on to get a whiff of a bfp! It doesn't help that I work in the nhs for a 0-19 service (health visiting/school nursing) so a lot of baby/new births/pregnant people!!

So is everyone testing on here in about a week. I feel as though it is going soooo slowly . Looking forward to seeing everyone's results though! So hoping we get some bfp! Xxx

To add my bit to the CM oversharing... I typically get three days of EWCM around ovulation. If it appears a little early or late then AF will be correspondingly early or late, so I’m pretty sure I have a fairly consistent 14 day luteal phase. Then nothing for a few days, then creamy, then nothing again right before AF. I’m 5 dpo now and just started the creamy phase! So nothing unusual for me at the moment and no symptoms.

I have to say the sperm pond thing doesn’t bother me! I have found myself a few times talking to them... like “come on little sperms, I know it’s a long journey but you can make it!” Not out loud, of course, that would be weird...

I won’t be testing until the very end of next week. Ages to go!

@motherofdinosau oh my gosh... The exact same thing for me yesterday! Squeezed my nipple and a little discharge. The exact same thing as when I had my son 6 years ago! But that was so long ago I don't want to get my hopes up! I'm only 7dpo today so have a while to go yet but will possibly test early next week. Will be super interested in how you get on also! I never had it during the last few months trying either. Trying very hard not to get my hopes up though. 🤞

Oo @dogmam I am a School Nurse 👋🏼😊, I don't have to deal with the babies though thankfully! Don't think I could handle that and the broodiness 😂

BFN this morning, to be expected, I'm only 8 dpo the earliest the test says I can test is Sunday, so I'll test again Monday.

Hope everyone's doing good today x

The biggest fattest negative here as well, also 8DPO. Why do we do this to ourselves!

I saw this posted somewhere (I don't think it was this thread but sorry if it was!) with BFP statistics for each dpo and the odds aren't great for 8DPO but I was still hoping for something faint. Never mind!

Hope we are all well this morning - has anyone got anything exciting planned on the weekend to take their minds of TTC?

@Nottherealslimshady @helllobambinos still early days for you girls, but still I bet hard not to feel dissappinted. Try and good off until at least the weekend if you can haha

@sle0911 ohh hiiii 🖐

We have plans for garden days if the sun is out! Ahh just thinking about girls who are gonna maybe surprise their other halfs with a bfp this weekend for father's day, that would be cute!

Me too, I really thought I'd just see the tiniest shadow :/ but I doesn't mean anything this early though so stay positive :)

We've got family game night this weekend and maybe try to take the dog somewhere nice if weathers ok, its freezing and raining atm. What about you ?

@dogmam @nottherealslimshady it is super early, no doubt I will test on Sunday for the fathers day reason

Game night sounds like really good fun! DH working all weekend so if the weathers nice I will probably get out in the garden too and try to enjoy the peace and think I'm going to do a slap up roast for when he gets back Sunday's, then I'll be in his good books even without the BFP

Loved catching up on the thread ladies. Been a busy couple of days juggling work with a toddler! Isn't this weather crap! No idea what to do today. Baking I think 🙄

I'm 3/4 DPO I think. Feeling nauseous and cramping. What is this? Am I imaging it? 😂

@Whilstwewait that happened to us on the day after I got a peak OPK 🙄 I actually cried because I assumed I'd been pressuring him too much. It's never happened before. I felt pretty silly.

What day PO does everyone start testing?
Also what is everyone's CM like after ovulating? What does it go like before AF or what does it do if you're pregnant?!

Just checked @Littlebee1990 s list and it looks like there are a couple of people due to test this weekend eeee!

@RoEP2018 check out the link I just posted, it shows your odds of getting a positive test when pregnant by DPO

I've searched sooo many articles and old threads about CM whether pregnant or not and I've come to the conclusion that while it very much varies, wet is quite a good sign!

@hellobambinos @Nottherealslimshady I know the feeling I tested 8dpo and today 10dpoish and still bfn on a one step 10ml HCG test. So I'm assuming if I was pregnant that high of a sensitivity would be picking up something by now and it is stark white. I feel like crap today coming down with a sore throat and was coughing yesterday, not in great form either but must be just something I've caught rather than anything related to pregnancy. I'm staring at the first response as we speak but trying to convince myself not to waste one when it just going to be negative. Hope you all keeping well and good luck for your next few days testing!!!

@HellloBambinos ooo thank you!! What a good article. I think I might just turn my obsession of 3 or 4 OPK's a day to a one step! 🤣
@Mamainmaking1 keep an eye on that cough 🤭

Updated list below .. if I’ve lost you in the sperm pond please let me know and I’ll re add! Few ladies testing this weekend and I’m sending all the positive vibes! I’m 4DPO and obvs no signs but actually feeling pretty chilled this cycle after my bitchfit earlier in the week. Hope everyone is ok x

Thanks a nice big list!

My apps have me being due AF on a variety of dates despite having the same data (26th, 28th, 30th) so I'm not sure whether to hold out until the 30th and test if AF hasn't arrived by then. We're due to move house on the 26th and I'm not sure I'd want to test that day and get a BFP right as a bunch of removal guys start taking everything out!

@Mamainmaking1

According to that chart most people get a BFP from 13 dpo so you could just be testing too early :)

@Littlebee1990 wow that's a list!! Thank you. I'm hoping to test this weekend 🤞🏻🤞🏻 fingers crossed. And good luck to all those testing soon.

@HellloBambinos ooh I didn't think of that , I'll join you Sunday!
Ame night is either fun or horrific depending if in laws have decided to be good at technology that day or not 🤣

@Mamainmaking1 it's still so early, you're not out till AF shows her ugly face

@Littlebee1990 glad you're feeling better :)

My AF date on the apps ranges from 26th-29th June so not sure when I should test.
I tend having spotting before AF starts so I'm curious if I was pregnant whether I would still have that then nothing!
