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

*know

Hey! Sorry, not been very active on this thread! I'm CD 7, average 26day cycle and tested using opk just a second ago. This is 100% negative isn't it? It's only a £shop cheapy - they did work the first time around for me but really considering ClearBlue now! Heaps of baby dust to everyone!

@Fran2020 it kinda feels abit naughty & fun that our partners don't know about all our tracking. Like it's our little secret🙊

@HellloBambinos I wasn't planning on telling my partner much but a couple days after we decided to start trying he asked me to explain my cycle to him and then the next morning he came in and was like "so I've been googling ttc tips for men" so he is very involved but only because he asked. I guess it's different for everyone 😆

@Chlo2701 oh yeah definitely!! 😂 he keeps saying to me to not overthink things! Erm... 😂

@Chlo2701 and @Fran2020 ok I'm glad its not just me

@Chlo2701 yes hopefully peak it tomorrow for us!

@Chlo2701 @Fran2020 haha my partner knows this month I'm using OPK's!

@HellloBambinos I've involved mine and was showing him my Flo and Premom apps, along with my ovulation tests etc. And he said it was good to know as he didn't fully understand that there was a very small window to get pregnant! I don't think he's interested but at least he knows the finer details!! 😂

@Chlo2701 the Easy@home ones are fab too. Much cheaper than CB! I've been using them from the day AF leaves to track my LH levels and then confirmed my ovulation with a CB!

@kate123cl that looks really faint. Do you have the Premom app? You can upload it and it will give you a indication of how high or low your LH levels appear.

@HellloBambinos my OH is pretty involved. He knows I'm tracking, wants to know when the fertile week is and checks my chart if he sees it. I got excited and told him about my positive OPK today as it's the first time I've had one since my MMC but otherwise I don't tell him what it's looking like day to day!

@SK2970 yeah, I definitely think that Flo is really off with its predictions. I use Fertility Friend and Femometer, but I also track BBT/OPKs so not reliant on their algorithms.

@motherofdinosau great that you got your peak, love your handwritten chart so handy to see them all lined up like that!

Welcome @PirateWeasel @sle0911 😊

@snapple21 good luck on TTC again, it certainly is a minefield. Hopefully it isn't a long journey for you.

@HellloBambinos my partner knows I'm tracking, however I never say its my peak or anything or what any of it means. He just sees my thermometer and my OPKs in the bathroom etc. He would rather not get involved tbh.

@Chlo2701 my partner is so laid back too, he's like it will happen. I just wsnt to shout 'when!?' 😂 the CB sticks are useful but if you get too many flashing smileys they give me rage haha.

@kate123cl I would say that OPK is negative but getting towards positive possibly from what I can see of it. Have you got more? Definitely test a few times a day x

@HellloBambinos nope not just got! 😂 my partner knows about the fertility monitor tracking though!

I second testing a few times a day. I was doing first morning urine, which was neg, then by the afternoon a really strong positive.

I'm still getting a strong positive tonight 3 days later! Has anyone else had this?

*not just you

@snapple21 from what I've read it says do not use the FMU as the LH surge is low then. I'm using easy@home and have had highs for 2days now too.. So hoping tonight or tomorrow for ovulation 🤞

I really felt like I ovulated last night such bad pain in one side. Can feel a pinching in the other tonight though. It's so confusing!

Yes, I've just felt a throbbing/pinching pain there a while ago.. First time I've ever noticed that!
Silently hoping it ovulation ☺

Here's my chart...

Just updating list @motherofdinosau @Chlo2701 I can’t find your testing dates and cycles so if you’re happy to share let me know and I’ll get you added to the new list! Lovely to see you both and baby dust to all! X

Updated above - please let me know if anything wrong or I missed anyone...... I wrote this with my legs in the air against a wall after DTD 🤣 it’s only CD8 and he wants to go for everyday until 2 days after ovulation.. wish us luck ha! X

@Littlebee1990 thanks for the list ☺️ and good luck, you're going to be busy 😂 I'm on day 3 of DTD every day and hopefully will manage everyday for the next 3 at least just to cover all bases 🤞🏻

@Littlebee1990 wow what a list! Thanks for doing that! Good luck with DTD everyday!!

@HellloBambinos lol I flipping love your description of your OH being blissfully unaware of your DTD plotting - so hilarious and true! Men 🙄😂

@Mrskcam your husband sounds like the sweetest!

I tried being all casual with my OH, then during the last TWW freaked out on him and told him he needed to buck up and do some research so it’s not all on me to know what’s going on all the time. May have been the hormones talking as now I’m back to feeling quite casual about it all again. Give it a week until the TWW starts and I’ll morph back into an anxious mess again I’m sure 😂

@dizzypixie the TWW has honestly got powers to turn us all a hormonal crazy mess. It's something to behold 😂

@Littlebee1990 thank you for the updated list. Wow, that is quite a stint!! You'll be knackered for the tww, haha. X
