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

Hello; can I please join?

Im 38 married with two children but would like a third. Not actively trying or not trying if you know what I mean.

AF is due Thursday 24th June although I think I ovulated late on calendar day 17. So who knows.

I have a few symptoms but could all be in my head! I am lethargic and my boobs are sore at the sides plus my lower stomach feels heavy and swollen inside.

Sorry for everyone who’s had AF arrive . It’s still rather early for me (9 dpo) but no symptoms and thinking ahead to next month...

I’m looking to get the clear blue ovulation kit - I’m not familiar with it at all and it looks like there are two main options: one that identifies your two most fertile days and one that identifies four most fertile days. For those using clear blue which one did you go for? I’m not sure which is best!

Hi all and congrats to those celebrating BFP’s! AF due between 28th June and 2nd July, my cycle varies. Had a weird stabbing/pulling pain in my uterus last night which got worse when I walked. In my experience, too late for ovulation pain and too early for AF and was also unlike either pain so hoping against hope it was implantation. Had a wave of nausea as well. Just took this test and I feel like there’s something but may just be deluded. Seconds opinions appreciated!

@Dinosaurus86 I'm looking to use the CB ovulation test too. I'd be interested to know people's thoughts as I'd like to track once my AF is finished in a few days!

When do you think I should test, one app suggests AF Is due the 26th and the other the 30th. I really don't want to test too early and waste a FRER 😫

Massive congratulations, to all positives! ❤️

I'm due on 25th. Heavy sore boobs but nothing else to note. Took a strip test this morning and it's negative. Its all I can think about it. TTC #3 had copper coil removed 8th June - I'm 33

Another BFP @kovu congratulations!

Sorry to everyone with AF or BFP.. hopefully this group sticks together and is of some help on the next cycle.

I'm 5DPO today, and can't really say I've had any 'symptoms' but yo be honest I'm not really one to 'be in touch with' my body. Unless I have a blatantly obvious pain or sensation then I never really feel different. I rarely feel crampy around AF etc.

SO yesterday we had family over for the first time and I drank a bottle of wine.. do you think that is totally silly? I'm not a huge drinker and only really drink if there's an occasion for it, like family gatherings, going out with the girls etc, I also have no intention of avoiding certain foods or anything until I know for sure I am pregnant.

Re Opks I just use the cheap amazon One Step, think they were £7 for 50 and they work fine. Do you think different brands are really that different?

Hope everyone is ok x

@bubblybon20 I’m wondering the same thing, Flo has me down as being due on the 26th, Ovia on the 28th and Glow on the 30th. We’re moving house and in with my parents on Friday so ideally I’d like to know yes or no by then, not sure if a test would show anything if I tested on Wednesday or Thursday though 🤔

@w@Wyewaving that's so bizarre! If I looked on all 3 of my apps they also say the 26th, 28th & 30th 🤣 x

@bubblybon20 haha we must be cycle buddies. I think I’ll test on Sunday 28th if AF hasn’t turned up by then, as I’ve just read something that says to try and wait til 12 dpo to test. The 29th is our wedding anniversary so it would be a nice early present, I’m tempted not to tell DH and tell him as a present if it’s positive.

@Wyewaving yeah we must be! And yeah thinking il probably tests either Friday/Saturday' fingers crossed for you! That'll be a lovely surprise! X

@dogmam I've had a few drinks this weekend and no I don't think it's silly at all. I've read that if there is a potential foetus then it won't share a bloody supply with you in the first two weeks - lots of women drink before knowing they are pregnant. I think the TTC is hard enough and the risk is low during the TWW so go easy on yourself!

@chrissagcat we are almost matching! I'm due AF on 24th, TTC #3 and am 32!! Also took an IC this morning and BFN... Cycle buddy! Fingers crossed there's still time yet. Have to say I'm feeling a little deflated today after seeing no line.. I just felt it was my month, I know I'm only 11dpo so there's still time to get a BFP but just feeling a little negative about getting AF soon!

@Maybe333 wow! Keep me posted! I too felt a bit deflated today and continued to search about negative tests 4 days before AF ladies I'm having a Father's Day Prosecco or two...I do feel bad..but also feel I might not even be pregnant and this could go on for months. I had been drinking the night before I found out I was pregnant with DD2 and she's now a healthy 3 year old.

Ladies talk to me about evap lines. I'm only about 6/7DPO and I took an IC about half 6 (don't ask me why. Just have this urge to piss on sticks!) Of course there was nothing there. Just got back from a walk so an hour later and there's a faint pink line. Is that what evap likes look like?!

@kovu definitely a line there congrats

@FlyRobinFly I think i can make out the start of a line fingers crossed for you

@Fran2020 excited for you to test. When are you planning on doing one?

Finally in the TWW after a stressful start to FW i ovulated day 20 and we DTD 17 ,18,19 20 so a record for us. Feel like we have given it every chance now xx

@mrswilso same, just logging everything! So if I'm not pregnant this month, I won't get so obsessive over these specific symptoms next month! Awww thank you! Got my fingers crossed for you too! 😊🤞🏼

@indecisivewoman81 @chrissagcat welcome! Both your symptoms sound promising.

@Whilstwewait thank you! I'm not sure if the ICs will arrive tomorrow or Tuesday. But I'm going to save my FMU so I can test straight away! I will let you guys know but it'll still be very early. I think you've definitely DTD enough!

Has anyone had clear stretchy cm around 6dpo?

Thanks everyone! I only got to test again now as had family over and didn’t have another test. It’s official though 😀😀 I’m so excited after 5 cycles with nothing and no real symptoms except for sore boobs early on (not as sore anymore though?) I thought I was going to be out this month. I haven’t told the DH yet as want to surprise him somehow. I am 12 or 13 DPO 😊😊

How exciting @Kovu !! Congratulations x

Congratulations @Kovu 🎉

@Leobaby I think I had something stretchy cm around then but it was kind of creamy too.

@Kovu Congratulations! That's lovely news! When do you plan to tell your DH? I think I'll tell my partner straight away, probably just blurt it out haha!

Congratulations @Kovu!

Checking in after a few days away from the thread. So heartening to see so many BFPs! Congrats everyone! Due AF any time from Tuesday on. Tested this morning with my ics hoping for a nice Father's Day surprise and not even a smidgen of a line. The longest cycle I've had in the last while went to CD38 (29th June) so will hold out and do a FRER later in the week. Have had some light cramps throughout the past week but nothing much else to report. Fingers crossed!

@Kovu that is amazing. Congratulations 💕 . I've been feeling really sicky today. Hopefully a good sign 😂.
