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.

@Littlevee1990 absolutely thrilled for you 😍😍😍

My period is 12 days late, I did 4 tests including a clear blue digital about 9 days ago , each negative, just wondering will this period just not come at all now and it will just be October period instead as my permit is always around the 17th of each month, it's driving me mad the waiting 😭

@AnnaPosie are you still doing opks ? If not maybe start incase you have just missed one and will ovulate soon. I don't think it is uncommon to randomly miss a period or could you ask for a blood test from the doctor to check for pregnancy x

Hey ladies,

How are you all? Anyone in the TWW & testing soon?

Just had my final check in at EPU after the scare 2 weeks ago. Measuring at 8+1 now, the hematoma has shrunk and baby has a lovely strong heartbeat and they don’t need to see me again 😀 Going to try and relax now until the dating scan on 29th October.

Hope you all have a lovely day x

@Littlebee1990 that's great news!! So happy little bean is staying put ❤️

I am expecting peak either today or tomorrow. DH and I can't wait for a break from DTD 😂 tonight will be 6th day in a row

@Kalecat Hoping your peak comes as expected and you can have some time off 🤣 We DTD 6 days in a row last month and got the BFP so hopefully 6 is the magic number 🤪 xxx

@littlebee1990

Brilliant news. All sounds great 👌👌👌

@kalecat hopefully this will be the month for lots of us !

I'm 18 days late, I did a few tests about 2 weeks ago all negative apart from one faint looking positive , did a test today and got a positive using strips but more than likely it's just a surge in hormones or something which I've been told can happen, so I'm going to wait and test again Thursday and I'll know then for sure .

It's like Christmas morning every time I see a positive OPK! It's actually crazy how quickly my LH spikes... yesterday wasn't even close and then this morning a blazing positive. Can probably squeeze 2 more nights of DTD out of DH 😂

@AnnaPosie well that could be good news!! I hope it's a true positive 🤞🏼

@Littlebee1990 that is amazing news!!! Keep us updated lovely!!! x

Just finished DTD for the 7th day in a row... and the 10th time in 11 days... DH and I are TIREDDDD 😩😂. I don't want to see him naked for at least a week 😂😂😂
I think it’s safe to say that my fertile window was completely covered..... lol. If that didn’t knock me up, idk what will 😂

So I've done 3 strip tests and got positives and did a clear blue digital and got a BFP saying 2-3 weeks, now I would have thought I was more than that more like 7 as my period was due 17 September and didn't arrive , I'm going to try and see a doctor asap

Hey, sorry I've taken some time out! How is everyone? I'm 11DPO on cycle 16. Still waiting for my Gynae and fertility clinic referrals. But I did have a private consultation on Monday and going to actually get the rubella immunisation now in the hope it gives me SOME kind of immunity. Then after a month, I will have the HSG x

Hi all.

Littlebee that is ace! I'll be keeping everything crossed for 12 week scan.

AnnaPosie are you sure of your dates?I didn't get 3+ until I was about 7 weeks I'm sure.

I'm in my 2ww and feeling weird about it. I know after my 12 week mc I'll be in such an anxious place if I get a BFP but also obviously would rather get one than not! Can't win haha

Great things are progressing Fran. Slowly but surely!

@Littlebee1990 Awww fantastic news! So happy for you 😊

Kalecat After all that naked effort you deserve it

Thank you all so much

@AnnaPosie Clearblue digitals are notoriously wrong and shit. I never got 3+ on one and have seen soooo many threads of people saying the same.

@Kalecat You enjoy the rest and I’m hoping for a BFP for you!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

@flittingaboutagain

Yeah my period is always bang on but I could have mixed up my date you never know with me 😂 I've read a couple of places here that clear blue have not always been reliable with the week prediction and can be off a few weeks but I really don't know so just need to see a doctor . I get you, it feel like you can't win sometimes as so many new worries pop up then !

@littlebee1990 thank you ! Yes I am seeing this said a lot so makes me feel better ! The chemists here only stock clear blue so I couldn't try first response

@littlebee1990 I am super excited for you and pleased everything is working out this time! Xxx

@Annaposie hmmm interesting, maybe you just ovulated later than you thought? Yeah deffo contact your gp, let us know how you get on but fingers crossed this is it!

@kalecat wow that premom screenshot is impressive! This has got to be your month surely?!

@Fran2020 pleased your investigations are moving along!

Got my 21 day bloods tomorrow and my other half is booked in for his SA at the end of the month so hopefully get some answers soon as I am stressed AF as to why this stilllll hasn't happened for us ☹

@dogmam Thank you, me too, it's just been quite frustrating. Glad to hear things are moving on for you too. How long have you been trying now?

@Flittingaboutagain thank you, me too! Keeping my fingers crossed for you too? When is AF due? Mine is due on Monday.

@dogmam Thank you! Good luck with the tests today.

@Fran2020 I’m hoping AF stays away for you and sending loads of baby dust

@fran2020 I think it's all the waiting around isn't it. What were the results of your initial tests? And any others you've had so far? We have been trying for a year so just on the early stages of tests.

@Littlebee1990 I'm so so happy for you!

@AnnaPosie if you haven't had any bleeding then I'd say it's all good, could have been late ovulation or implantation, or your urine just isn't as strong. I'm sure it'll be positive news at the doctors :)

Finally got my scan date for 27th October, excited but nervous, everything seems to be going well :)

@Littlebee1990 thank you! If it does come, I have my plan though! 😊

@dogmam definitely, so much waiting around! I had the day 3 and day 21 blood tests which were all normal and showed I was ovulating. My partner had a semen analysis which was normal. Then I had an ultrasound which possibly showed a few things which is why I have been referred to Gynae. That's good you can get going with some tests now!

Saw my doctor today. She was wonderful in hearing out my concerns and booked me for bloodwork on CD21 (Wednesday) to check my progesterone and other levels to rule out any concerns that could be causing chemicals. She recommended I stop testing early (but I know I’ll never be able to do that...😂) and try to relax. If I have one more chemical she’ll send us to a fertility specialist, but said she doesn’t think it’s necessary yet, and is hopeful for us! 🤞🏼😊🌈
