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)

Just done a week indicator and its come back 1-2 weeks which has not put my mind at ease at 19dpo. Ringing early pregnancy unit and getting some blood test today.

Why is ttc so stressful, they dont tell you this in school!

@littlebee1990 thank you x

@nottherealslimshady thank you . Sorry to here that. Could it be too early for it to show 2 weeks yet? Does it go by implantation? Have everything crossed for you x

I’m so sorry @1992EM

And I hope the EPU is helpful today (and with good news) @Nottherealslimshady - I’m not sure how accurate those weeks indicators are.

I did a test this morning and got the world’s faintest line. Between that and the weird period I’m going to assume a chemical. I’m 16dpo now so would definitely expect a line I at least didn’t have to squint for if it was something viable. I may retest in a week if I still feel odd, just to be on the safe side.

So cycle 8 was the month for us, we got our BFP 🎉

@1992EM @Dinosaurus86 honestly I haven't a clue how they work, dont know why I bothered spending the !£12! on it.

Sorry about your chemical dinosaurus :(

Congrats @Bubblegum20 !

@dinosaurus86 oh no, sorry to hear you think you have had a chemical 😔. Hopefully the bleeding was implantation and you have maybe ovulate later.

@bubblegum Congratulations 💕

@nottherealslimshady Hope everything goes well with bloods . I think they just give a rough date.

@1992EM ah I'm so sorry, that's awful 😔 enjoy some drinks!

@Bubblegum20 congrats!!! 🎉

Who would've thought that after obsessing over TTC, when you get a BFP you then start obsessing over line progressions. I feel like my lines should be so much darker for 13 dpo, AF due tomorrow. So many people have these blazing positives by this point, and I don't know why mine aren't. 11 dpo on top and 13 dpo on bottom. Seeing the GP on Thursday, and then off to my MIL's house on Friday for 10 days. OH doesn't want to tell her. 🙈

Hi all, hope you don't mind if i join I'm 10dpo took a test and had a vvvfl, my side boobs have been sore for the past 3 days which is really weird for and and today I've noticed lots of little bumps on my areolas (sorry of tmi) I think i'm pregnant but I've had so many evap lines on test I don't trust it! 8cycle ttc#1

@pika93 good luck. Sounds like you could be pregnant if you have those symptoms and a faint line.

@kalecat I can definitely see progression. A lot of people don't get dark lines until a week after their period was due so I wouldn't worry too much about that. It will dramatically increase over the next few weeks.

@Kalecat that's awesome line progression!

@Pika93 welcome, fingers crossed for you.

I've spoke to early pregnancy unit, she's said it sounds like implantation bleeds and everything is probably fine. They're not having people in for bloods because they're hospital based and we're a hotspot location. Got to test again saturday which is a week after bleeding stopped ( I'll of course do it tomorrow, the next day, the day after that...) then I'll be booked in for a scan.
Trying to stay calm, feeling like a mardy cow today!

@Bubblegum20 @Kalecat - congratulations on your BFPs! 🥳

@1992EM sorry to hear this wasn’t your month. Fingers crossed for next cycle 💐

Sorry I’ve been quiet on here I haven’t had an update since I’m 20 days of flashing smileys!! No idea what is going on. I obviously haven’t ovulated this cycle but expected for it to go to low. Just a waiting game now for AF just hope it doesn’t take weeks! 😢

How is everyone? My partners sperm analysis came back as normal. I was at the doctor who did some swabs and looked at my cervix. She's referring me for a scan and to the fertility clinic. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Dinosaurus86 Thanks! Next week will definitely be ours!

@Kalecat definitely looks darker! Congratulations again!

@1992EM I'm really sorry that AF has come for you. Sending positive thoughts for your next cycle!

@Bubblegum20 Congratulations! Wonderful news!

@Pika93 welcome! 😊

Good luck in your scan @Fran2020 , ita hard to know what best case scenario would be but I hope you get some answers and a BFP soon. Good news that sperm came back good.

@Nottherealslimshady Thank you! It's good that things are moving again. It's all very promising too. Keeping hopeful for my BFP!

@Fran2020 that's great the spent analysis came back good! My DH had cancer when he was 12 and did 8 months of chemotherapy. I was so worried his sperm was going to be permanently damaged.
After only 2 cycles of trying I'm glad to know it works just fine lol.

Oops typo - spent should say sperm**

@Kalecat Thank you, I'm really pleased it's come back normal. Oh wow, I can imagine you both were worried, glad it's all ok though! 😊

Hope everyones doing good?
I've took a regular test and the line is darker than my early response from when I was spotting so I'm happy with that progression.

TMI ALERT
I've got a wicked symptom for you guys! I've googled it, no one understands why pregnancy makes you do it but it is linked to pregnancy... I'm very gassy from the front 😂

@nottherealslimshady 🤣that's good to know . Have you had any other symptoms? Hope all goes well when you test next. Are you getting an early scan with NHS ?
@mylittlebean2019 Thank you, sorry to hear you didn't get your peak this month. This must have been really disheartening. 😔
@Fran2020 Thank you , I am so glad your partners sample came back clear . Hopefully now the ball is rolling they will get you guys in quickly to do any other kind of tests. Have everything crossed that August will be lucky for us. 💕
@kalecat Oh that must have been a worry. Glad everything was OK though. did you test again today ?

I hope everyone is well . I am in a much better frame of mind today. I will definitely be home by my next peak which has reassured me. I totally took for granted how much ttc would take over our lives and how lonely it can be. I'm looking forward to getting away from it all for a few days and I'll then be back to work which I think will help me not become so obsessed with it all . I know this could be a long road ahead and really don't want it to take over.

@Nottherealslimshady @Kalecat congratulations to you both wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months

@Littlebee1990 glad that you have ovulated now. Hope you're feeling ok?

Im 8 or 9 DPO nothing to report really. Expecting the witch to arrive as normal. If she does will chase up our fertility appointment and hopefully get some progesterone or something to help with my spotting

Hopefully see some more positives on here soon and sorry to those whose AF arrived x

@1992EM yes I did test again today. I'm trying so bard not to worry :( line is not getting much darker - 14 dpo today and AF due.
Top was 11dpo FMU, middle 12 dpo evening but 4 hour hold, and bottom is today FMU 😔 I don't know what to think. I see the doctor tomorrow and then off to holidays Friday.

Still see progression 👍 fingers crossed for you. Are these the early ones that you are using? X

@1992EM yes they're the early first response ones. The progression is just so minimal so I hope it will all work out just fine! I see other people's lines at 14 dpo and they're very very bold so I just have to be patient I guess. Maybe my HCG develops slower.

Just popping back to congratulate so many of you on your BFPs this month, seems ages since I got mine but I’m only 9 weeks today. So pleased for you all ❤️
