24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies (thread 2)

[Wyewaving]

I hope @littlebee1990 doesn't mind me starting a new thread as our old one was full...

Congratulations to @SK2970 who had just posted a positive test!

(Point me in the right direction if I've missed a new thread)

Yay! Congrats @Wyewaving!!

Well... I'm thinking I'm out 😔. 11 dpo and still getting this dumb line that looks like an evap? Even though taken within time frame. 8 dpo I had clear lines so I just don't understand. FRERs cost $15 / £9 where I live so I can't keep buying them. Shame!!

@Kalecat sorry to hear that. Hopefully it is a positive. Have you tried any different brands?

@Fran2020 I’m sorry your cycle didn’t work out. You’ve been going much longer than me. We’ve only been properly trying for a couple of months, although we’ve been very careless with contraception for the past year or so. I know it’s way too soon for me to be concerned but both dp and I have some autoimmune issues that make me a bit nervous.

I’m not sure what I’d do about your MMR quandary. I had it as a child and still managed to get mumps!

Omg just catching up so many BFPs!!!

@Spinksy9 @Egg2020 @Footymum81 @Wyewaving Congratulations!! 🥰

@Wyewaving that’s so nice you told your parents already!! I remember how happy my mum was when I told her I was pregnant with my DD it definitely is a special moment!

@Kalecat you still have time if AF hasn’t come yet. Fingers crossed for a bfp soon!

@Dinosaurus86 I would say it’s definitely too soon to be concerned! Stay positive and hopefully next month is your month!

Ladies I need your advice on spotting. I’m 10DPO and had some blood when I wiped earlier. Obviously got super excited that I could be spotting. But just went to the loo and there is a lot more blood! Like not enough to have noticed before going to the loo, but enough that I had to throw away my knickers!! How much blood is normal for spotting?! I’m not due AF for another 4 days but do you think I could just be early?

@Wyewaving Congratulations! Lovely news 😊

@cd24x unlucky for some but lucky for me cycle 13 now! 🍀 did you get a test?

@dogmam always feeling mixed emotions, especially after 12 cycles. I do feel it should be me too now. 😔

@Whilstwewait thank you for having a look in to it as well, that's really nice of you. I've been chatting with my partner, mum and sister and think i will cancel my appointment to have the vaccine. There's little chance it'll work and I'm not a teacher any more so not around children all the time (just my family's children sometimes).

@Dinosaurus86 Thank you! Have you spoken to your doctor about if it could cause fertility problems?

Believe it now! 🤭
Thank you for my well wishes ladies. Means a lot.

Congratulations @Spinksy9 @Egg2020 @Footymum81 @Wyewaving 🥳

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend xxxx

Yay congratulations @RoEP2018!!!! 🥳

Thank you @mylittlebean2019 😘
How regular are you cycles in terms of coming on?
That does sound promising 🤞🏻

@RoEP2018 oh my goodness , congratulations. Nothing like a digital to confirm it. How many dpo are you and do you have any symptoms?

My twinges have stopped and I have everything crossed that it was implantation and I might be joining the positive party . Day of poas tomorrow till they come and then try again on Monday. By then I will be between 11dpo and 14 dpo so hopefully more likely to get my answer.

@RoEP2018 Not that regular since I had my DD. My last cycle was 32 days, the cycle before that was 4 month gap!! I didn’t have any symptoms last time so this is all new to me! Really want to test but haven’t got any until my shopping arrives tomorrow night!

Have you told your OH the good news yet?

@RoEP2018 Congratulations! 🎉

@Fran2020 thank you 😘

Thanks @1992EM ☺️
I'm 12 DPO today. At 10DPO I couldn't really see a line, maybe VVVVVVFL 😆 Lines are still faint.
I'm hoping and praying for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@mylittlebean2019 having a child seems to mess your body up doesn't it. I used to have a 28 day cycle like clockwork. DD came along and now it's been anywhere between 26 and 32 days! My OH is in shock. I was like, you were there all those times 🤣

Also didn't have any early symptoms with her. This time I've literally had nausea and stomach cramps since 3DPO!! My friend says she thinks it's twins 😳🤭

@RoEP2018 That is amazing . Thank you . By the time I test again I'll be around that so fingers crossed. Tonight I have a really acidy taste in my mouth . It's so horrible. I have brushed my teeth like 3 times to try get rid of it . I have also cried like 4 times today at very random stuff but that could be lockdown getting too much 😂😂😂. I hate this waiting time as I can't talk to any friends or family about it and my oh just wouldn't get it and I don't want to get his hopes up.

Morning girls! Any more bfps?🥰

Can anyone else see a line? I've had a long cycle this month! I'm 11dpo but still 6days before AF is due to arrive according to Flo! This is only a Clear and Simple £1 test but think it's 10MIU? I'm not going crazy am I?! My partner can see it too and it definitely has some colour to it! 🤞🏼

Morning @kate123cl
I can def see something. Mine was like that at 9dpo. Get yourself a FRER to confirm. My digital comes today ready for me to test again tomorrow. Just want to see the words!

Thanks for the new thread! Don’t think my name was on the list 😔 haha.
3 day’s late for AF now and still BFNs everywhere!

Congratulations @RoEP2018 so happy for you!!

@kate123cl I think I can see a line!

I think I’m out this cycle 😩 The bleeding has got heavier and not just the odd spot so assuming AF is here. At least a shorter cycle this month means quicker I can TTC again.

Good luck to anyone testing today! X

@Fran2020 Yes, managed to pick up some cheap tests. Then caved yesterday afternoon and BFN so I'm still none the wiser! Really hope cycle 13 is super lucky for you. Will keep everything crossed 🤞

@RoEP2018 Congratulations! 🥰

@kate123cl I see a line in the first pic!

CD28 and still no AF for me. Had some twinges late last night. Also have had awful heartburn last night and this morning. I'd been waking up the last few days at 4am and not being able to sleep, thought it was the heat. But it happened again last night and it's been a lot cooler. I've also woken myself up the last few days from drooling so much! Very odd. I just want some answers!

@KatieFH I'm exactly the same. AF is currently 3 days late and BFN on every test. Did you track your ovulation this month? I thought I ovulated on CD12 but now thinking it could have been later as I didn't use OPKs or BBT

@cd24x yes I used the clearblue ones and never got a static smiley just a flashing one very early on, so not sure when I ovulated officially! I only tested once a day thought and read you can miss the surge!
Now I think my periods are more irregular than I first thought so that might throw a curveball into next month!
Have you felt any different at all? I’m wondering if stressing about it all is making AF late! X

@cd24x I'm the same!! I'm now CD30 and my period was due yesterday. Had lots of cramping over the last couple of days, even had sore nipples last night. Had so much creamy CM I thought af had arrived but nothing....

My partner is pleased that I'm so wet but 🙈🤣

I also realised I bought the wrong first response tests 🤣 I have one test left but I won't be using it until next weekend if AF still hasn't arrived 😏

@Smushty14 I also did this . I bought the rapid response ones . So have ordered the early ones which should be coming today 🙈

AF just showed up after threatening to all day yesterday...hrmph 😤
Can one of you ladies in the July Sperm Pond please throw me a floatie and a glass of wine?? I'm gonna need it 🤣

OPK girls, can I ask a couple of questions...should I be doing it now? And which ones would you recommend? I've been trying to just go with the flow and manage it well at the start of my cycle but I feel like taking the guessing out of fertile week might take a bit of the stress out of the TWW. I'm moving into cycle 4 and I know it's not been that long, just a tad frustrated and impatient 🙃😂 I was on the pill for a long time so it does weigh on my mind that I may not be quite as back to normal as I think I am...

@mrswilso I will come share a float and wine with you! I’m gutted as had so many “symptoms” but at the same time not surprised as we only managed to DTD twice this cycle so it’s my own fault. I’m committing to do the SMEP this cycle!!

I recommend the CB digital. I don’t have anything to compare to but it’s really easy to use. So my AF started yesterday and it’s saying I need to start testing on 5th July (based on a 29 day cycle)
