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)

@Littlebee1990 oh no 😔 I've got everything crossed for you and sending love, hoping your bean stays sticky ❤

I tested yesterday but will test when my next batch comes because I flooded it. Still no sign of AF and I was due Sunday/Monday. This month according to my app i had PIV with the big finish 17 times and didn't go for legs in the air because I can't due to an old injury....but with you in spirit ladies!

Oh no Littlebee. I hope they call you back soon.

@mylittlebean2019 I haven't yet - still had some very light pink CM this morning and was running late for work so decided to wait it out. It's so hard to tell if I've just had a really light period...had a really light flow of watery red all day Sunday, less yesterday and pretty much nothing so far today. I've only filled about one pad when I add it all up...
I think I'll be with you next month though...
@littlebee1990 thinking of you, really hope it's nothing to worry about 💕 sending lots of love and sticky babydust ✨

Hey! I hope you don't mind me joining! Congratulations on all the BFPs ! I'm currently 9DPO , 3-5 Days till AF, I have pains that resemble ovulation am I mad? 😂 x

@nottherealslimshady Thank you, fingers crossed for you this month. My oh actually asked me why I wasn't using "the sticks you pee on, like Monica in Friends" (his words) 😂 I hope he is on board.

@Foodie2020 This will be my first month using them too so hopefully can help each other out. I will be due AF on the 30th of July so going to start using the ovulation tests probably on Saturday . Flo is saying the 9th to 17th will be the dtd week 😂 . I really like this app so far if you haven't got it . I like the fact you can track symptoms. Hoping this means I won't be obsessed with symptom spotting.

@Littlebee1990 Oh no, I am so sorry 💕 I hope everything is ok and will keep everything crossed 💕

@ck236 I would hold off as long as possible to test. 11dpo onwards will.give you less chance of a false negative.

@littlebee1990 oh no, hope you're ok and hope you get a call back asap. Positive thoughts! Xx

Question.. if you ovulate later in your cycle than usual, will that mean that your AF will be late that month? Or does it mean you should expect your AF as normal but just had a short luteal phase?

I'm CD3 today.. so the super boring part haha

Hope everyone sticks around on this thread, we may just need to start updating the list with people's new dates x

Hi Everyone

I think it’s a chemical pregnancy, bleeding like a period and AF was due yesterday. Still waiting for EPU to call me back but they pretty much said there’s nothing that can be done, I also had my dating scan sent to me today.. how ironic. Cramping bad and lots of blood, doubt they’ll be able to confirm this early on as I’m only 4+3, heartbreaking. I don’t think I’ll ever test before a period again after this as if I hadn’t tested early I would’ve just thought it was AF. Gutted 💔

@Littlebee1990 I am so sorry , sending you lots of hugs and TLC. I can't imagine how you will be feeling. 💕😔

@Littlebee1990 im so sorry to hear this it must be awful for you. I cant even imagine how you're feeling but sending you lots of love ❤

@dogmam your AF should arrive late. The phase between ovulation and AF is always the same the stage before can vary. Im at that annoying stage of waiting for AF to arrive fully. I hate the beginning of a cylce when you know there is no chance you are pregnant.

Those contemplating OPk for first time. Id definitely recommend them. Apps just predict ovulation 14 days before your period. So if u have a 30 day cycle they predict day 16. However not everyone has a 14 day luteal phase so could really ovulate from around CD14-18.

Re sex every day. Ive tried it twice and it didn't work. So I wouldn't put too much pressure on yourselves. If your OH has any sperm issues as well every day would be too much and every other day is better but hey if you enjoy it and can manage then no harm.

@Nottherealslimshady think that test looks ok. Hopefully it starts flashing soon for you in which case you can test twice a day. I used to use cheap ones at same time and when got darker confirmed with clear blue as they're so so expensive

@Fran2020 i was doing banana, spinach, blueberries (or other berries) almond milk and a bit of apple juice for flavour

Im sticking around. I do struggle when replying to know who to @ in my response though xx

Xx

So sorry Littlebee. We were both due on yesterday so I have been following your posts and wishing you luck.

I know some people would rather know if they have a chemical but for me even at this long stage of TTC I always prefer to wait and then think it is just AF for the reason you say.

Do you have cuddles coming from your partner?!?

Oh @littlebee1990 😘 Sending you lots of love right now

I'm so so sorry @Littlebee1990 ❤

Thank you everyone.

Just spoke to EPU, It’s too early to scan or do anything so there really is nothing they can do. She said it’s likely a chemical pregnancy where it failed to implant so I tested positive because I was pregnant but I’m now having my period because implantation failed or very rarely people have a breakthrough bleed which can be heavy and all can be ok, I’ve basically got to wait and test again when the bleeding has stopped.. for now I’m going to sign out and assume the worst but wishing you all lots of luck and love ❤️ xx

@Littlebee1990 Sorry to hear that. Take care of yourself. 💕

@Littlebee1990 I'm so sorry. Please take care of yourself. Sending lots of virtual hugs

I'm so sorry @Littlebee1990 😔 don't give up all hope though, my mum bled heavily all throughout her pregnancy with me. They'd actually told her she lost me at the 12 week scan. My fingers and toes are crossed for you❤️

Hi everyone. Is anyone into the whole RHR theory and finding out your pregnant? My heart rate has jumped up past couple of days from 73 to 78/79. Even now I'm laying on my bed and I'm in fat burn mode of currently 107! This is not like me at all! I've read a couple of threads where it seems to be true where your RHR shoots up after ovulation, dips slightly for implantation and shoots again before AF or bfp.

Oh littlebee I'm really hoping for the best for you, we're here for you when you're ready. Sending hugs.

@Whilstwewait I'm telling myself I'm only buying one pack so it's not so expensive 😁

@1992EM oh bless him! I pushed my luck a little too far today asking DH if he would have decaf coffee instead 🤣

Thank you all so so much! We will absolutely start trying again when we can.

If there’s one bit of advice I can share it’s DO NOT TEST EARLY. Had I not tested early I would’ve assumed AF had arrived a day late (she was due yesterday) and wouldn’t have known the loss. I’ve told myself from now on I will only be testing if and when AF is over a week late. Knowing so early is absolutely petrifying and my fears of knowing earlier were made real today. I’d rather live in limbo land for a little longer and be further along when I do find out next time.. because there will be a next time 🤞🏼❤️

Oh @littlebee1990 I’m so sorry 😞

@nottherealslimshady 😂 I got a similar reaction when I asked my oh if he was take conception vitamins.

@littlebee1990 There definitely will be a next time. Thank you for the advice. I am also going to do this as well . I hope you are ok 💕 .

Oh @littlebee1990 I'm sorry to hear this, I hope you and your partner are doing ok.

I'm now C2 and wanted to try OPK but my partners worried I'll become obsessed (I have one of those personalities) and it'll take the fun out of it but if we still have issues this cycle he's willing to try OPK

I'll take all of your advice about the Fruits and DTD and is there anything else you can advise? I'm using both the clue and Ovia apps

@Littlebee1990 I'm really sorry to hear that. Sending my positive thoughts to you ❤️ xx

@Foodie2020 I bought the CB fertility monitor after we'd been TTC for 10 months. I start testing for ovulation on CD6 and do it once a day first thing in the morning. I got peak on CD11 both months so far.

@Whilstwewait thanks for the smoothie idea! 😊
