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

@Fran2020 I’ve read that you get a second Estrogen surge around 6dpo which could cause fertile looking mucus. I never knew this lol. Was hoping it would be a sign - but nope

@Leobaby ahhh fair enough, it's amazing how much goes on in our bodies!!

Thanks everyone 🥰🥰

@Fran2020 I don’t know yet I just ordered a newborn onesie so hoping that arrives soon so I can give it to him 😀 I had a chemical pregnancy a few months ago and blurted it out that time to my DH and close family so this time want to keep it a secret for a few more days. It’s a struggle though especially as my SIL and Best Friend are both pregnant.

@1992EM the only reason I ended up testing was because I was feeling sickly so could be a good sign! 🤞

Positive vibes and good luck to everyone! I think this chat group is very lucky 🍀

@Kovu Aww that sounds like a lovely way to tell your oh. That is good to know . I have had it the last day or so but at night rather than the morning. I have also been really put off the smell of cooked food but I had put that down to not being well at the start of the month. I am still too early to test . Af isn't due until a week today or tomorrow so going to hold off testing until at least the weekend. I was also 5 days late last month. According to my predictions I am about 6 or 7 dpo.

Sorry to hear AF has arrived @Flossy20

@Bubblegum20 @Wyewaving I was the same on both my apps. I waited until it's was bang in the middle, 2 days late on Premom and 2 days early for AF on Flo! Good luck!

@Kovu amazing news!!! Congratulations!! How are you feeling?

And good luck to all those still waiting to test! Sending you all baby dust! ❤️❤️

@RoEP2018- Yes I can’t remember what early symptoms I had with DD. I vaguely remember having sore boobs when running! Glad you managed to conceive on only DTD twice last time round. We’ve been staying with my parents only only managed to do it once in high fertility and once in peak. I’m hoping that’s enough but will commit to doing SMEP next cycle if not.

@Dinosaurus86 - I used the CB four day digital OPK for the first time this month. I don’t have anything to compare it to but it was really easy to use so would recommend. It’s a bit pricey (think £40) but you get 25 tests so you could probably use it for 3 cycles (hopefully not needed though!)

@FlyRobinFly I can’t read the test I’m afraid. Have you tested again?

@Kovu- that’s a lovely way to tell your DH. I’ve also been feeling sick but I think I’m still early for symptoms so still not getting my hopes up

Is anyone on here breastfeeding at the moment?

Good luck anyone testing today 🤞🏽

@Kovu aww that's lovely, so excited for both of you

Right so my ICs are turning up today or tomorrow. I have saved my FMU, does anyone know how long I can keep it for? Is it just a few hours or can I save it until the end of today? Thank you!

Anyone tested today?

@Kovu That's a lovely way to tell your OH! Hopefully it will arrive soon! That's nice for you to all be pregnant at the same time!

Good luck @Fran2020 🤞🏼 sorry can't help with the how long FMU lasts!
I'm debating whether to test today, I feel as though I'm out so want to test to confirm 😂 have had mild period pains and low back ache since last Friday, also my RHR has decreased over the past couple of days too which is annoying me so just wanna know! X

Morning all! How is everyone doing? Good luck to everyone testing today - fingers crossed this week is full of BFPs

I'm posting this from the bath as my pre AF cramps are so bad they woke me up at 4am! Just want her to arrive now to get it out of the way.

Our neighbor is literally about to pop with her first any day and I keep seeing her and feeling . It sounds sooo silly but when they told us they were expecting I just assumed by the time the baby arrived I would be pregnant. I even imagined meeting the baby with my own bump. Think I need to chill out a bit and stop putting pressure on myself to be pregnant by certain milestones - its not good for my stress levels 🤣

AF arrived today 😔

Congratulations to all the lovely ladies with BFPs! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

@HellloBambinos sorry you're feeling that way about your neighbour 😔 I am also really bad at imagining myself with a bump/baby in future events so feel your pain on that one!

@Fran2020 good luck testing, I have my fingers crossed especially tightly for you! No idea about how long FMU will last though.

I'm 6dpo today and nothing to report although I've had weird feelings in my womb since ovulation, a bit like cramps but not quite. Obviously can't be pregnancy related as started straight away.

Are people continuing to dtd in the tww? We did this morning and then I was wondering to myself of this could effect implantation... hmmm

@Maybe333 sorry to hear- my sore boobs have eased up now so thinking it's just a matter of time for AF too.

Not due AF until 26th/28th/30th, but attempted a FRER today. No idea when i ovulated, my apps say the 13th/16th! Please tell me you can see the line too?! My camera is awful so apologises in advance lol! X

@bubblybon20 yes I see it!! Congratulations!! Ahh another BFP

@bubblybon20 That’s definitely a line! Congratulations!

Can see the line easy peasy @bubblybon20 congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

@sle0911 Thank you! 🤞🏼I know what you mean, I just want to know to! But I'm only 10DPO so still quite early! How many DPO are you?

@HellloBambinos I understand how you feel about your neighbour. Yesterday on social media so many happy first Father's Day posts was hard too.

@DoctorBambino Thank you! 🤞🏼 I bet the ICs don't even arrive today in the end! I'm (not so) patiently waiting haha! We've DTD twice but lots of the time I really haven't felt like it.

@bubblybon20 I definitely see the line! It's pink right?! Congratulations! 😊🎉

@HellloBambinos thanks you made me feel better about having a drink at the weekend. Ahh that's understandable the way you're feeling about your neighbour, just think this time next year you could have your own baby by now to show your neighbour!

@DoctorBambino I'm also 6dpo and feel nothing.. we haven't dtd during tww but not because I think it will effect anything, I'm sure many people still dtd and fall pregnant.. it's hard not to consider every little thing though isn't it!

@maybe333 sorry to hear AF arrived, stay positive and hopefully this is your lucky cycle.

@Fran2020 sorry not sure about FMU but sure on the OPK instructions it says let it go to room temperature so I'd imagine that takes a while (not that I ever do that I just dip it straight in haha)

There's quite a few people testing this week isn't there? Can't wait to see some more BFP!

@Fran2020 I THINK I'm also 10 dpo, not definite though but that's just going by my symptoms and EWCM, currently CD29 but I had a chemical last month so don't know if that's messed things about a bit, my cycles usually vary between 28-33 days so the sensible thing would be to wait until the weekend 😂 not gonna happen though I doubt! X

@Bubblybon20 yes defo a line there!! Wooo

Congratulations @Bubblybon20

@Kovu @bubblybon20 Congratulations!!!

@Maybe333 Sorry AF showed up. Fingers crossed next cycle is the one!

@Fran2020 no idea on the FMU I'm afraid, but fingers crossed for ICs turning up today so you can test. Good luck!

CD22 for me and 10DPO (I think). Currently feeling very sicky and got an awful headache which paracetamol isn't even touching. I don't want to take anything stronger though. Really tempted to test, but trying my hardest to hold out as much as possible, or at least for FMU tomorrow morning instead!

@dogmam Thank you! Hahaha yeah, I've never let it go to room temperature before.

@sle0911 Sorry to hear about your chemical but yeah that might have messed them up a bit. I was supposed to be holding out until AF was due (27th-29th) but I actually can't wait haha! Good luck with your willpower!

@cd24x Thank you! 😬🤞🏼 You're the same as me- CD22/ 10DPO! Good luck to you to, which tests do you have?

Hello, I am new on here. This is my 1st month ttc baby number 3.
I have 2 children age 12 and 9 with my previous partner.
I'm extremely nervous and excited!!
I am unsure whether to use ovulation tests or just go for it😁
I only had my coil removed on Friday. What are others doing/what are your thoughts on using ovulation kits?
