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.

@Littlebee1990 - Yay we are really close my due date is 28th May. I am only 3+4 so really early days I feel like even saying I’m pregnant will jynx it all. Have you booked for an early scan? I’m definitely going to get one as doesn’t feel real until I can see something! Think I will keep testing for another week and then if still positive will get booked in x

@mylittlebean2019 Pretty much exactly what I did, got my first BFP on 7th September and tested until 12th September when I got a dye stealer and 2-3 weeks on a digital, finally braved filling in the self referral form for maternity referral and booked an early scan yesterday for 3rd October where I should be between 7+2 and 8+3.. only 18 sleeps 🙈😩 Sending lots of sticky bean baby dust your way x

@mylittlebean2019 congratulations 💕

@littlebee1990 I think I would be the same . Until I see the baby on a scan it won't seem real and will most likely spend my life savings testing 🤣 need to actually reach that point though 🙈

@kalecat sorry to hear you are feeling down . Why not treat yourself to something for the wedding and will give you something to look forward too. Ttc takes over your life . I don't think I fully appreciated how much it would . If I am not praying for a positive opk , I am wishing the tww away so I can test and then repeat all over again 🤣🙈

Congratulations @mylittlebean2019!

That’s interesting about the symptoms @Littlebee1990. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about though, as it sounds like most don’t really notice anything until at least 6 weeks. I wish that would stop me driving myself crazy looking for symptoms now!

I’m sorry you’re feeling down @Kalecat - I saw your other thread. It did look like a positive test from your June one but I don’t think that’s any reason to worry about this cycle. Different cycle, different sperm, different egg. It’s just a lottery every time but I’m sure we’ll get there soon enough.

I’m 9 dpo now and feel reasonably calm. I know I’ll be upset if/when AF makes an appearance in a few days but hopefully I can manage it. I’m going on holiday at the weekend so don’t want to ruin it...

Argh, I’m getting my hopes up again. Yesterday evening (at 10dpo) I was having quite strong cramps. Still getting them this morning but eased off a bit. Am obviously now hoping this is implantation but I had the same thing happen a couple of months ago and it gradually turned into AF. No sign of spotting yet but I’ve probably jinxed that now!

@dinosaurus86 have everything crossed for you.

I am only 4dpo so nothing exciting happening here. AF is due a week on Saturday so a while to go yet.

6dpo for me. Having promising symptoms that mirror similarly to the ones I had before my other BFP. I also just had a cry because I asked OH to put my hair in a pony as a joke to see if he knew how and he refused to even try lol. Emotions are running a bit high around here 🤣

Hey Ladies!

Not long until testing time for some of you and not long until your big day @Kalecat.. I hope it’s a day to remember for more than 1 reason 😍

I’m either 5 weeks or 6 weeks today.. or somewhere in between, I still don’t feel pregnant at all despite feeling hungover today!? I met my team for drinks last night for first time since Feb and I sneakily got there early and asked the waiter to do me a glass of water with fruit everytime I ordered a gin and tonic and he didn’t disappoint and nobody suspected a thing.. perhaps it’s because I went to bed at 11.30 instead of my most recent 9.30 that I feel rough!? Still convinced they’ll be blood everytime I pee.. I wish I could say the worry goes away as soon as the BFP appears but then the can I conceive worry turns in to a “will this bubba stick worry”.. my mum had a stillborn at 34 weeks so tbh I think I’m gonna be anxious throughout.. 16 sleeps until the early scan, until then please hope for a heartbeat for me 🥰❤️

Sending you all baby dust xx

@littlebee1990 I know the feeling I rarely go to bed past 10 these days and if I do I suffer the next day . I am not pregnant so God knows what I will be like if I do end up pregnant 🤣

This is the earliest I've EVER tested but I couldn't help it. I've been exhausted and an emotional wreck today. Took an IC... whats everyone think? Should be around 7dpo... however I ripped open an FRER but all it gave me was an indent line.

@Kalecat So sorry but I can’t see anything on that test ☹️ 7DPO is very very early, implantation doesn’t usually occur until 7-9 DPO so I’d stay away from the tests for a few days. Really hoping you get your BFP next week! FRER is also much more sensitive than an IC but I’d defo wait a few more days xx

@Littlebee1990 that's ok! I know it's super early, just been bored at home & still not working 😂 this is inverted. Think I'll hold off a couple days now

@Kalecat It’s the worst being home with the thought of TTC consuming you! Everything crossed for a BFP soon xx

@kalecat I am rubbish with lines . I hope you are right and a line does appear. I think it is super early though and has to be at the earliest 5 days before a period is due for a frer. Have everything crossed for you x

@1992EM some ladies in the WTE app are able to see it, so it gives me a little hope 😂 I know you're supposed to be extra fertile after a loss, so we shall see! I ovulated early this cycle so not entirely sure when AF will come... just guessing at this point 😅

Spotting this morning after two days of cramps so I guess I’m out yet again

11dpo here and also woke up to spotting. Absolutely gutted, stupidly I really thought this was going to be my month but yet again, not meant to be.

@dinosaurus86 I'm so sorry, know how you are feeling ☹

@littlebee1990, I bet that was a bit nervy with the drinks, pleased the waiter played along and you were able to not raise suspicions! Have you told anyone yet, or are you waiting until your scan. I've got everything crossed for you that the 3rd October will bring you less worry, it's my 30th that date so will have a drink to your growing bub!

@kalecat step away from the tests 😂 give it at least a few more days and hopefully you'll see your bfp.

@1992EM still early days, hope you're not going too crazy in the tww.

@Kalecat I do see a very faint line. Like mine at that stage. Fingers crossed it gets darker x

@dogmam ah sorry to hear that , I'm waiting on AF to arrive , can feel her on her way , two days late but I know she's on her way , it's always a rough feeling xx

Sorry to hear that @dogmam, I wish we were BFP twins not just cycle twins! I’m going on holiday (not far) this evening so I’m trying to push it out of my mind. I’ve decided to book a private day 21 blood test next month and to start acupuncture, which I’ve been debating for a while.

I can see something faint on the inverted one @Kalecat, but very early!!

Fingers tightly crossed for a nice strong heartbeat @Littlebee1990!

@dinosaurus86 @dogmam @AnnaPosie sorry to hear you think AF is on her way 😥

@dogmam I am coping alright as busy with work. I know I can't test until next Friday so just not thinking about it until then . Thank you for asking 💕

I have woke up to cramping. Too early for AF so hoping it might be implantation. 6 dpo today. AF due next Saturday which will be CD30. Otherwise my cycle is really messed up 🙈

Really hoping it is @1992EM.

Argh I’m worried, just did my final CB digital and it’s still saying 2-3 weeks, it said the same last Saturday. I should be between 6+1 and 5+2 today so over 3 weeks from conception & was really expecting to see 3+ on the digital, now I’m worried something bad has happened because I have zero symptoms either. 😩😢

@littlebee1990 thank you . Although just read you actually don't get cramps during implantation and cramps can be caused by the rise in hormone which happens anyway during the luteal phase.

It might just be too soon for it to be 3week+ I don't really understand them but 2-3 might take in 2 weeks and 3+ would not show for 2 weeks . The 1-2 may have been later in that stage when you tested and that's why 2-3 showed a week later when you tested . I have everything crossed that you get your 3+ test soon 💕
