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

@VP91x Aww same age nearly then!!
I found it really hard to start with but we seem to have got into more of a routine. I don't get much done in the day and then end up working all evening and the weekends 🙄 (Working now).
Do feel lucky to have got all this time with her though. Aren't they just amazing at this age!! ☺️ xx

Hi, I'm 24 my partners 27, we've been TTC for 7 months now! Using OPK's etc, still no luck, will be testing around 25/26 June

@Rosesmum2018 it must be hard to keep her entertained and work at the same time. No wonder you are doing things in the evening. Imagine them being school age, WFH and home schooling 😩.

Yeah she's such a nice age! Although, I think she might be starting to give up her midday nap.xx

Welcome @Bubblegum20 hopefully this is your month! ❤️

@Whilstwewait yay! AF finished yesterday and today I'm getting wet and watery CM. My fertility monitor is saying low but the CM is saying I'm getting close to ovulation! Better start the BD! Oh I see, that's interesting. I wonder if it'll do anything different for you this month? Yeah I've heard people say, I did X and then I was pregnant, but everyone is so different! I'm really intrigued to see what results my blood tests show and know if there is anything I can be doing/ taking to help.

According to Flo app, going into FW from Tuesday! Bring on the craziness!! DH wants to DTD daily woop woop!!
Hope everyone is ok!

Hi, I was on the last thread! 32, had a MMC in January and am on my fourth cycle since then. CD 12 just now and had a positive OPK this morning so got a busy few days ahead 😂 following SMEP again this month for the second time and I'm due AF on June 20th!

@SK2970 don't always go with what Flo says... I started tracking with my OPKs properly this month and I ovulated 2 days before my Flo app predicted! I'd been following the app religiously the last few months 🙈

@MyGossip thanks, I have only had a few cycles so know it won't be totally accurate I'm keeping an eye out on CM too so know might be later than the app says. Just quite looking forward to a week of DTD...let's see if it happens haha!

How was everyone's weekends?

I've still not had a positive OPK despite Flo telling me today is Ov day (CD11). I'm sure it isn't though as I've been tracking my CM too. Going to download a different app I think. And DH starts a work thing tomorrow with lots of late nights so I'm already thinking we wont be able to DTD enough for this to be our month

@fran2020 i think my blood tests only took a couple of days to come back so hopefully you'll get your first results soon and get some peace of mind. That's good that AF has ended. A busy few days ahead for you Knowing me it'll make no difference but good to feel im doing something x

@helllobambinos I use the Ovia app which is pretty accurate although I use OPKs and without them i dont think any app is that accurate.

My weekend was good thanks. Got to reunite with family on Saturday at a distance which was amazing. Then another facebook pregnancy announcement last night which did knock me a bit. Still trying to stay super positive. The weekend gives me too much time to think sometimes so saturday was a nice distraction xx

Ive come over from last months board 🙋🏼‍♀️
Af arrived for me but i unplugged for a little while and am back online now!
Today i am cd15 and got my peak on opk... Dtd last night & will again tonight and tomorrow 🤞🤞
Heres my Month so far...

Hi everyone, hope you're all ok! Currently Cd13 for me, according to Flo ovulating on Tuesday but I don't track ov (yet 😂) so just hoping for the best 🤞🏼x

Hi everyone! AF came today so starting a brand new cycle. Testing next on 4th July so I JUST make the cut-off - can I still join? This will be cycle 3, TTC #2. It took 7 cycles to conceive DS so expecting to be in for the long haul, but you never know 🙂

Hey @motherofdinosau I remember seeing your name on other threads! We're the same, both CD15 today👏🏼 I started with the Clearblue digital ovulation strips the other day, & am on my 2nd day of flashing smiley, so hoping to get my peak tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest🤞🏻looks like we're both going to be doing a lot of bonking these next couple days! 😆 good luck! X

Please may I join? Testing 21st June. Cycle 1 ttc, I have had one tfmr, one miscarriage then I had my son 6 years ago. Nervous about starting this process all over again!

Flo told me I ovulated on cd 16 but I had very strong positive opk on days 17 and 18 (was cd-8 yesterday) and I had the worst ovulation pain I've ever had last night. I couldn't have sex it was so bad. I'd had sex at 1am the previous night, and the three nights before so hopefully enough sperm were there waiting!!!

Hi @motherofdinosau, it's my peak day too! Good luck and sending lots of baby dust!

@HellloBambinos I moved to Premom and I track my OPKs on that and I can say it's super helpful!! I missed my FW with Flo 🙈

@Chlo2701 I've changed to clear blue digital this month and I'm also on day two of flashing smiley face too! Hopefully tomorrow is a constant face instead!

@Whilstwewait oh no that knocked for six feeling after seeing/hearing someones announcement is really rubbish.

@MyGossip it's most definitely wrong for me too which is annoying cause we've DTD a fair bit this week so ovulating today would be perfect 😂

Could I ask (sorry if a bit personal!) how involved peoples partners are with the details of TTC? Mine doesn't actually know I've started tracking, he still thinks we are 'casually seeing what happens'.

So consequently he's sat at the table engrossed in a jigsaw not knowing that I'm silently thinking 'we need to have sex RIGHT NOW or we may not get another chance this month'

@Bubblegum20 🤞🏻 for our solid smiley tomorrow or Tuesday! Preferably tomorrow though so we can get on with this TWW malarkey🙉 does my bloody head in & sends me crazy, going to try & relax this month in the wait, easier said than done though isn't it 🙄
@HellloBambinos im with you on that🙋‍♀️ my OH has no idea that I'm tracking everything like something obsessed 😂 I think it's better that way, for me anyway, because last time I told him I was in my fertile week, his response was..... don't put the pressure on 😆 so he just thinks we're just casually trying & seeing what happens! He has no idea I'm taking all these vitamins to help either! I think the least he knows the better. If he knew how invested I was in this he'd definitely think I was a crazy woman🤣 he's so laid back, he's just like.... what will be will be, if it happens it happens🙉
Uhhhh no love, I'm 35, you're 45 & I think my time is running out! Bloody men sometimes, I do despair😆

@HellloBambinos @Bubblegum20 I'm not bar shit crazy, honest🙈😂 but I am secretly addicted to these Clearblue digital ovulation strips! I think they're brilliant. This is the third month of using them so I'm hoping it's third time lucky & all that!
We've been having unprotected for about a year now but I've only been tracking last 3months. I'm fascinated how it all works now & didn't realise that even if the sperm does meet the egg there's only a 25% chance of it actually being successful 😳😧
I'm lucky to have a 14yr old & 10yr old but these last 2yrs I feel like my womb is throbbing for just one more! X

That's supposed to say bat shit crazy 🤪 not bar shit crazy🤦‍♀️

I hope everyone's having a good weekend and staying positive! Baby dust to everyone! CD7 for me today, low reading on the fertility monitor but I have watery CM so we DTD. Last month I ovulated around CD11 so going to aim to DTD every other day until I get a peak reading. My partner doesn't no I'm tracking everything either!

@Whilstwewait what does the first blood test look for? It'll be good to have some peace of mind or be able to deal with any issues.
Hehehe yep, even those the monitor said low, I'm following the CM too! As last month the monitor said low up to the two peak days! Oh yeah I know what you mean you never know though xx
