August Testing Pond (Follow on from 24th-4th July) thread 3

[Littlebee1990]

We’re nearly full so made us another thread!

How is everyone?

I’m 6DPO CD31.. going to be a 40+ day cycle.. as if 30 doesn’t feel long enough!! Nothing to report aside from that.

Congratulations @Littlebee1990!!

Thanks everyone, got 1-2 on digital also which has made it feel a little more real but also scared me because I never got past this point in June. I’m a POAS addict and I know it can’t give me any reassurance but I just can’t help it 🙈 Hoping to see 2-3 on that digital next week and my mind will be at rest.. for then! X

@littlebee1990 so pleased for you and the line looks much darker on the frer too which is great. Positive thoughts 🌈

1dpo here.. I am so wishing this is my month x

@dogmam I am sending loads of positive vibes and baby dust your way and I hope the TWW is kind to you. Xx

@Littlebee1990 congratulations!!!!
I started on your original thread in June and got my BFP in July. I''ve been following your journey from the background ever since..as in every new thread I watch as see how you're all progressing . I really hope this one sticks for you, congratulations again xx

@Littlebee1990 that's such a good progression already! I'm so excited for you, sending all the sticky baby dust x

@TravelGem That’s so lovely of you! I hope your pregnancy is going ok?

@Nottherealslimshady I hope so, obviously I tested again today and it’s darker again.

No more testing now until early next week when I hope to see 2-3 weeks on the digital and then I’ll be over where I lost the bubba last time and I’ll feel a little more at ease.

(Can I just confirm I’m not crazy and haven’t labelled my tests.. it’s a text filter from an editing app LOL)

How’s everyone doing? X

@littlebee1990

That looks very promising for sure, sending you all the luck😊

I'm waiting for AF, due in a week or so , I'll wait to test the day after it's due , I usually cave and test a few days before or on the day but just trying to hold off .

Great line progression @Littlebee1990!

@Littlebee1990 great progression. I got 3+ on a digi last night. Promised myself I wouldn't test again but i have no symptoms apart from a spotty face and not really fancying food despite being hungry so was convinced I wasn't pregnant. Xx

I am struggling a bit this afternoon. Just found out DP’s sister is pregnant with her third. It’s not that I’m not happy for her, I’m just very sad (and incredibly jealous which I know is unattractive) that I’m not too. I would just like to know I can have at least one. It feels like it will never happen.

@Whilstwewait I cannot wait to see 3+ on a digital, congrats, I hope it helped you feel a little more relaxed.

@Dinosaurus86 I’m so sorry and it’s totally ok to feel that way, I was very much the same tbh.. I’d even debated coming off social media because of the announcements and then a girl at work announced hers a few weeks ago and I dropped off the call because I was just incapable of discussing it tbh. I also felt like it would never ever happen for myself, never imagined a BFP, hoping for a sticky bean and sending baby dust your way. Xx

@Littlebee1990 the pregnancy isn't going too bad actually, a few weeks of nausea and hunger....then nothing just the odd mild wave of nausea but I can't be sure if that's a normal symptom for me.

I'm currently 11 weeks and had my booking appointment last week and my first scan is due in two weeks so fingers crossed everything is progressing nicely xx

@dinosaurus86 totally get how you feel, my bestie is due soon, she literally never wanted kids , has no interest in them, got pregnant by accident, I just feel so hard done by even though I know that makes no sense ! So I get you ! It's so hard and feels like it was so easy for them and they have no idea what we are having to go through . But it will happen ♥️♥️

@dinosaurus86 I totally get how you feel. I often feel I don't perhaps respond the way I should when I hear pregnancy announcements. Then I feel awful as it isn't their fault. Then you can't explain why. I just want to know i can get pregnant.

Thanks everyone, you make me feel a lot better! Am trying to convince myself that I’m happy because it means there will be a good playmate for ours when they decide to make an appearance.

Have also sent a slightly desperate email to a fertility acupuncturist...

@Dinosaurus86 completely get where you’re coming from. Everyone around me is announcing. I’ve stopped scrolling on fb as much as I can. My sisters just had her 3rd, literally falls pregnant immediately after deciding.

@Littlebee1990 congratulations! Those lines are so exciting. Hoping for the 2-3 next week for you!

@SamiBo, yes, apparently she decided and that was that! DP has been surprisingly downcast too this evening - normally he’s really positive about it all

To update, my bfp didn’t work out After all the cramping and bleeding I’ve now had a negative test. Not meant to be I guess. Will try again next cycle 🤞

@Samibo so sorry to hear that ♥️

Ladies, wth?! CD 10 for me and I've had a ton of EWCM so I thought I'd take an OV test and the bloody thing is positive 😭!!! Was completely negative yesterday too.
I never ovulate early, CD 14 or 15 for me always.
My chemical pregnancy in July must be messing with my cycle.
Thank god OH and I managed to DTD last night, and we will have to tonight as well when he gets home. Feeling so upset now that we could have missed this months opportunity to conceive 😞.
Feeling betrayed by my body for surprising me like this lol.

@Kalecat I wouldn't worry. Still in with a chance. We only DTD day before positive opk and day of ovulation and I got my positive. Only takes one sperm

I’m really sorry @SamiBo, it’s so cruel.

That is weird @Kalecat. Like you say, probably related to the chemical and at least you did catch it!

@dinosaurus86 it's so hard hearing other people's news isn't it. It's a good way to think about it though as good timing for a playmate for your little one which will hopefully be in the making very soon. Hope you're ok.

@SamiBo sorry to hear it hasn't worked out for you. Fingers crossed for a lucky next cycle x

@kalecat it really throws you off when something like that randomly happens, just when you think you are finally reading your body correctly!! Glad you managed to dtd though and didn't miss it!

3dpo here and wish I could just fast forward a week!
