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

@msanne I see them! I think faint positives :)

@ KatieFH - thank you. I am so excited but am trying to remain calm....xoxo

Just did a FRER because I have no self control.. only 10DPO and even if I squinted, held it up to the light there wasn’t a hint of a line ... arghhh it’s going to be another month of AF 🙁😫

Still nothing here 👎🏻 I'm currently on CD25 and Femometer reckons I'm 11dpo.

I'm gonna test again on Thursday which will put me at 13dpo.

Still holding out hope but I'm using the really sensitive ones so could be I only implanted yesterday 😊

@Nottherealslimshady - thank you :) I will wait for another 24 hours (doubt I will last any longer) and hopefully see the line get darker. Really hope it isn't an evap.

@Smushty14 - I see the start of a line? I am CD 27 so we are very close. From the research I've done online I think 13-14DPO is the best time to test to see a positive. We need to hold out and fingers crossed it will happen!

@Littlebee1990 - you aren't out yet! Isn't your AF due later on at the start of July? You need to hold out a bit longer girl! You're nearly there!

xoxo

@Littlebee1990 you're only 10dpo theres loads of time yet, dont feel disheartened

Thanks ladies. I even told myself I wasn’t going to test until 13 DPO earliest and literally I went for a wee and before I know it I’ve ripped open a test and peeing on it!!!

I see lots of faint lines ladies!! Excited to see them progress over the next few days, please let me know if you want an official BFP next to your name!

I've told my husband to hide my tests. It's getting out of hand.

Had lots of cramping last night and nothing today 2 days till AF due but no signs on the sticks

@Mrskcam Aw me too yesterday. July testing buddies, hopefully we will be lucky next time!

@msanne ooh we are close! Fingers crossed for you too lovely!!!

@Wyewaving

Is anyone else confused by the fertility apps out there?

I’ve got Flo, Ovia and Fertility Friend on my phone to see if there is any difference in dates.

Flo is telling me I should ovulate on the 13th (FW 10-13), Ovia isn’t giving me an ovulation date but says my FW is 11-16, FF is saying I’ll ovulate on the 11th (FW 7-13).

I’ve used Flo the longest but I don’t understand how they’re all different 🤔

Hiya,

So currently I am using Flo, Spot On and my Fitbit and there is a difference similar to what you have said in regards to your own ovulation dates.

According to Flo, today is my day of Ovulation.

Spot On is just saying that its a fertile day, it doesn't seem to give a specific date for ovulation, just highlights a number of fertile days.

My Fitbit is telling me that the 25th of June is by day of Ovulation.

I don't have any ovulation strips but I will try and get some tomorrow and see if that helps. I never get any pain or cramp to indicate ovulation is happening, I am just assuming it does happen..! I plan on looking into it more if we don't conceive in July, I just find it all so confusing and overwhelming at the moment as we have been trying for a few months and I just want to have faith in mother nature before I spend more time tracking and all of that

@Littlebee1990

Hiya, so I am 30, this is our 3rd/4th month of trying.
AF is due on the 9th of July. My cycles are around 30 days so I'm cycle day 18 and due to ovulate in the next day or so.
(I hope that makes sense, still getting used to the lingo and technical terms!)

I've started eating 3 Brazil nuts as I read they are good for fertility and I am also taking folic acid and Coenzyme Q10 so fngers crossed !

Hi @AnnaPosie it’s very confusing isn’t it?

I’m only on month two of trying, but I’m 35 at the beginning of July so I used the Clearblue opk this month and got a static smiley later than my apps thought I was due to ovulate!

My thinking was if we’re still trying in six months I want to be able to tell the doctor that I’ve been using ovulation tests so they can’t tell us to try that and then come back.

OMG I am loving all of these test pics!!

@smushty14 sorry I don't see anything on your test, but like you say test again on Thursday!

@roep2018 @bubblegum20 @msanne @helllobambinos I see lines on all of your tests!!! Exciting!!

I actually think I'm in the minority, I don't like testing because I still have hope! So feel free to keep the test pics coming ladies because I enjoy looking at others! Good luck x

Okay guys all your test pictures have got me excited!! I’m caving and going to test today... do you think 4 hours between pees (sorry tmi) is long enough to test or should I wait longer?

@bookishEm Exactly what I did.. I peed on a FRER half hour after a green tea and pint of water and was my third wee of the day at 10DPO and then sulked at a BFN. I am an idiot.

@littlebee1990 I’m actually talking myself out of it and waiting till tomorrow since that’s when the clearblue calculator told me was the earliest to test anyway so it’s stupid to do it today!! Really should be waiting till Saturday but no chance that will happen 🙈 I have zero symptoms and my mum keeps saying I’ll probably know before because she always got really early symptoms for all three of her pregnancies so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ladies... I've gone mad. I'm 7dpo and took a cheapie today with FMU. Needless to say, it was starch white 😂😂😂. That should curb my urge to POAS for another 2 or 3 days... lol

Omg this is a lucky group!!
Tests arrived in post this morning, couldn't wait at lunchtime so did it flippantly and told DH that it was a waste of a test!!
Heart pounding!! Supposed to be 10dpo according to flo but think I'm more 12-14dpo, AF due on Saturday. I don't believe it and want to do more tests but don't want disappointment!

@SK2970 congratulations!!! ❤️

@SK2970 Congratulations!

@sk2970 congrats! That is a very positive test so don't think you'll be dissappinted if you were to do another! Such a lucky group so far!

@SK2970 - congrats, yes it is a positive a nice clear one! :)

@Dogmam thanks - I get your point of view though. Not testing lets the hope live longer. the most I have managed this month is not to symptom spot - I would have gone bonkers by now otherwise!

To those of you that AF has arrived for - sending you lots of love and baby dust for next month. All of our times will come - wishing for sticky babies!!

Lots of love xoxo

Congratulations to all the lines and potential lines this morning!

I think it was @Fran2020 who was unsure but just to reassure you I once had a 24 day cycle when mine are usually 27-29 so it can be totally normal.
