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

@mrswilso thanks I know I’m trying not to get hopes up and I think my eyes are playing tricks on me but I will test again tomorrow and see if it’s any clearer .

@katiefh I defo see it on your invert pic!! Keep us posted.

@mrswilso thanks! At least someone else sees what I see and I don’t feel as crazy hah. I’ll test again tomorrow and let you know. Thanks again for helping me out! X

Hi ladies, first post here so i'll give you some backstory on my journey so far.

DH is 38 and I'm 33, together for 16 years, married for 5 years and off the pill since the wedding. Casually tried until August of last year with no luck so we decided to do some investigating. His test came up a ok but my bloods showed I had hypothyroidism and high prolactin levels which are being managed now by meds. He also didn't think I showed signs of PCOS or endometriosis which my sister suffers from and hasn't been able to get pregnant either.

I have long cycles at 33-38 days and my app tells me I ovulated on day 17. DTD on days 13, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 23 for good measure this month and AF not due until next Saturday. Driving myself crazy testing the last 4 days with nothing but BFNs. Does anyone have any insight on BFPs when I'm not due AF until 18-21dpos? Testing at 12dpo even seems too early to me. Also, could my app be telling me that my ovulation is earlier than it actually is? Haven't been using opks but have some ordered along with a bbt thermometer for next month in case it's a no this time.

I keep feeling like we've left things too long and I should've tried getting some answers earlier. DH has been wanting a baby for years and I just wasn't ready at the time

@KatieFH I see it on your first pic. So exciting!

@Nottherealslimshady yay glad you see it too! Thanks for making me feel less crazy! Really hoping tomorrow it is more clear! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Nottherealslimshady i love the spread sheet...i used cloth nappies for both my children and they are worth every penny! They look sos tinking cute...my first one i bought was a tots bits but found tj's (on fb) and they are more affordable ha ha!!
Here are all mine in a massive 80L box waiting to be used again...

@KatieFH i deffo see a line in the second pic. It has colour too so i doubt it is an evap!!
Test again in 48 (hcg doubles every 48hrs) and should be darker!!!
Thinking sticky thoughts for you 🤩🤩🤩

@Littlebee1990 I have read that implantation can happen the earliest 5dpo. Nothing earlier than that. So you never know, it could still be an implantation dip? See if it goes up tomorrow or stays the same! X

@jlmul9 welcome to the sperm pond! Everyone is different, some show 9dpo and some dont show until after they've missed AF. you're not out until AF shows her mug.

@motherofdinosau oh good to hear! How many did you need per baby? I'm planning 18?

@HellloBambinos Thank you, I hope so! 🤞🏼Your spreadsheet sounds really cool!!

@Nottherealslimshady IC is internet cheapie! Very cheap strip tests.

Hey guys! My OPK (clearblue 4 days or more) detected my ovulation three days later than I expected to ov. Just wondering if anyone knows if they can miss your actual ovulation and get a false static smiley later? Just wondering if it’s possible I ovulated on the 10th (like expected) rather than the 13th (as the test indicated)?

@BookishEm I would definitely trust the OPK as you don't necessarily ovulate on the same day every month and yours is only a few days different. Have you been monitoring CM too?

@Fran2020 I’ve been trying but struggling a bit 😂 did notice my cm was “typical” (from what google said) for ovulation on the 11th so they day after expected ovulation and 2 days before OPK detected it. Do you think that confirms the OPK’s more?

@BookishEm It's hard as everyone is different! Has it been egg white? when you start getting EWCM, I would DTD at least every other day as that is very fertile CM. Then when you get the peak OPK, DTD for 2-3 days if possible. That should cover you! 😊 I usually have EWCM before the peak as it's showing you are fertile and the sperm can live inside for a few days.

@Nottherealslimshady i only had one in cloth at a time (eldest was dry before 2nd came along) but i have a massive cloth stash...approx 40 😂😂😂
It is very addictive!!! Christmas, halloween, easter...i bought animal print ones for zoo visits 😂 beach themed for summer holidays!!

June 2017 heatwave...6 weeks old...how I spent my days 😂

@KatieFH can definitely see something there! Fingers crossed for you!!

I have convinced myself i can feel aches below and have sore boobs. I done a test this morning (7DPO!!) and nothing! I’m not sure what I was expecting but I’m really driving myself mad with this! I know I shouldn’t have done it I’m just dying to see that line.

@KatieFH I can see a second line in the new pic you’ve updated! Keep us posted xx

@motherofdinosau aww so cute! I'm sure I'll end up doing the same

So this just happened! I'm shaking, can't believe it!

@peonyrose87 omg congrats!! How many dpo are you?

@Mrskcam 11! So it's still early, only CD 24.

@peonyrose87 oh wow! Congratulations!! What symptoms have you had?

@peonyrose87 woohoo!!!! That's a solid line! Congratulations
