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.

Thank you @Littlebee1990 @1992EM
I'm trying not to get my hopes up as not passed the AF due stage yet. Its such a worry!
I wasn't going to test early but was advised too, so that if I had any more CPs I could go to the GP and get to correct treatment!
How are you 2 doing?? When are you testing.x

@spinksy9 Have everything crossed this one will stay stuck 💕. AF arrived for me 2 days early so on cd3 now. I'm away next week which will be a nice distraction and back just before ovulation week which has worked out well.

Thanks for creating the new thread @Littlebee1990 ! About the alcohol and hot tub, that's tricky! Some people go about their lives and conceive anyway so... need to enjoy yourself once and a while right!?

@Spinksy9 congrats on your pregnancy- hope all goes well! :)

Today at 15 dpo I FINALLY got a pretty visable line on the fermometer cheapy. (The top one in photo, 14 dpo on bottom) I will honestly NEVER recommend their HCG strips to anyone. The ovulation strips work great but the HCG strips are terrible. I've been getting clear positives on other tests since Sunday (even ones with less sensitivity), so these a junk. Don't use them if you want internet cheapies.
Now that my rant is over... 😂 seeing the doctor soon!

@Kalecat
I agree with you about femometer ones!
My FRER was yesterday and the Femometer is this mornings! They are so hard to get a clear positive one

Hi everyone, I’m due AF around the 8th. I had a miscarriage in June at 10 weeks pregnant.
I have a 10 month old DD, but at 41 we decided to try for a second Sooner rather than later.

Thanks for the new thread @Littlebee1990 and fingers crossed for you this month! Personally, I would have a couple of drinks but try to avoid the hot tub.

I am (hopefully) a bit further ahead than I would have been given that AF came early. I had a squinter on a FRER but lots of red blood so haven't bothered testing again as BFNs really depress me. Now CD 6 and starting to feel a bit more normal. Moving on and back on the grapefruit juice! Cycle 4 for me. Age 33 and ttc #1. We will be dtd every other day in fertile window as we tried every day and dp really struggled with the pressure! Definitely legs up though.

@Spinksy9 you have a strong line for not even missing AF yet! Your lines are stronger than mine. I didn't take an FRER today, but I did yesterday & 12 dpo. Progressing slowly.

@Kalecat These were mine from Monday AM and then Wednesday AM
Mine were strong last time before AF so thats why I'm not getting my hopes up just yet
X

@Spinksy9 sending sticky baby dust!
@Littlebee1990 I think you're right not to risk it, I think you'd worry yourself too much afterwards, I know I would.

More brown discharge from me 😔 I'm just desperate to get to 6 weeks safely

I had another peak on my LH strip after work so I dipped a Freedom HCG strip and it's negative so I think it's safe to say it's not pregnancy for me...which leads me into my next worry...holy crap CD6/7 is way too early for ovulation no?
I reckon I'll be investing in a BBT thermometer for next cycle...

Thanks for setting up @Littlebee1990 AF due in a couple of days for me and if no luck we will be onto cycle 14 😭 personally id go in the hot tub. I went in last week during my 2WW. As long as you're not staying in to long to the point you're boiling then im sure it'll be fine. Personal choice though after trying to conceive for so long I just dont want to miss out on too much as its a long haul. X

Check us out having to have a new thread 😂 AF was due today but so far is a no show, had a vvvvfl 10dpo but have had all negatives since, hoping af keeps her head away ❤️

@nottherealslimshady How are things today? 💕

@pika93 Fingers crossed AF stays away and you get a BFP soon x

@whilstwewait I hope this is your lucky cycle 💕
@mrswilso sorry to hear that. It could be you will have a shorter cycle this time if you ovulate earlier . Are you normally regular ?

@spinksy9 Those are good strong lines . Fingers crossed this wee bean stays stuck 💕

@kalecat Those are good strong lines too 💕

@dinosaurus86 That is the benefits of AF coming early . I am also now 2 days ahead which has worked out quite well for when ovulation will likely be.

AF has more or less stopped now for me which is quite nice considering it should only have just started. CD4 so at the boring part but will hopefully go quickly as have a busy week next week and straight into fertile week after. 👍

I'm ... so confused. My heart is crushed. This doesn't make sense. I'm 16 dpo but I drank a lot of water before bed and this was only used within a 4.5 hour stretch of sleep. Surely this can't be correct??? Either my pee is diluted, or in less than 24 hours I've completed lost a pregnancy? I just tested yesterday morning and lines were darker (didn't use a FRER though). I'm crushed. Don't know what's going on... 💔

@kalecat 😔 oh I am sorry . Hopefully it is because you have drank too much before testing. Was it fmu?

@1992EM I'm still having some slight brown spotting so resting a bit. But I'm also feeling super nauseous so I think that's a good sign? 🤢🤞
Good luck in this next cycle, sending all the baby dust!

@1992EM yes it was FMU, it's only 5:30 am where I live. We're now on our 7 hour drive to MIL's house... terrible timing.

@nottherealslimshady oh that is a good sign that you are feeling nauseas. Although hope you aren't feeling too rubbish. Thank you. Hopefully be lucky this cycle but will just go with the flow and see what happens.

@kalecat hope you manage to enjoy your wee break .x

Thank you for making another thread @Littlebee1990 If it was me, if someone had asked me before I read this thread I would have been straight in the hot tub because I had no idea that would make a difference haha yeah maybe just don't go fully in though if that makes you feel better.

I'm 29 (30 in 2 month and reallyyyy want to be pregnant before I'm 30, purely a mental thing in my head!!) And I come off the pill in October so not sure what cycle that makes me.. 10 maybe? God that sounds depressing if so. Trying for baby number 1.

I was supposed to ring the doctors on Monday about b12 and also drop in about ttc even though it hasn't been a year yet.. but I'm scared. I have no idea why but I don't know what to say.

Hope everyones enjoying the sun!

Just rang drs.. appointment for Thursday

@dogmam I am glad you managed to get an appointment. I am sure they will be supportive.

@Kalecat how you feeling? Have you managed to test again? It does seem odd that its gone to nothing. Id have expected it to just be lighter if it was a chemical. Maybe too diluted or a dodgy test. Worse timing with you going away x

@Whilstwewait we're on a 7 hour road trip right now, so I wont be retesting until tomorrow morning. Certainly odd if it's a chemical as I was just at the doctors yesterday and tested positive, as well as my home tests. And then today is suddenly so faint. Hopefully just an off day but feeling quite discouraged.

@Nottherealslimshady Hope you are feeling ok but the sickness is a good sign!

@dogmam Glad you called doctors, keep us posted!

@Kalecat That does seem strange, with my chemical I bled straight away.. I hope it’s weak urine ❤️

I feel like I’m going a little loopy.. only 7DPO but my nipples are burning like mad and I’ve got very thick creamy discharge and also weeing constantly.. I had all of this last month but also know it’s way too early and could be hormone imbalance after the CP!

@Kalecat sounds similar to me, got my line and then it has disappeared still no sign of bleeding for either of us so that's gotta be a good sign ❤️
