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.

@Nottherealslimshady I really hope all is ok at your scan today 🤍

Thank you ladies, tbh the more I look at it the more I think it’s the shadow in the test and not a line! I am having pre AF cramps and mega moody today too.. I will update you all when I next test.

@Nottherealslimshady Been thinking of you x

@Littlebee1990 I do see a faint line, I have everything crossed for you 🤞

EPU rang, they're refusing to scan. I just have to wait a week again and see if I'm still pregnant then ring gp to start with midwives. No idea if I'm pregnant or not and theres no way to know till next week. I think test was darker today but not considerably so

@Littlebee1990 I think you might be right - I've had a "vvv faint line" before on CB and it turned out to be the test line - I'm sticking with pink dye from now on, so much easier to read.

@Nottherealslimshady so hopeful for you 💕✨ that's really rubbish that they wouldn't scan but I agree, the line today does seem slightly darker 🤞🏻 hope your coping with the stress 💕

@Nottherealslimshady I am so hopeful for you and can’t even imagine the agonising wait. I’m wondering if you could test on a digital and see what weeks back you get? If that could give you any clarity but I agree your line is darker. Xx

@Nottherealslimshady that looks like a decent line to me, and darker too. I really hope it works out.

@nottherealslimshady That looks like the line had got darker. Fingers crossed this wee bean is stuck in place 💕
@littlebee1990 I can see something. Fingers crossed.

@dinosaurus86 I am also at the boring point. 🤣 roll on next week.

@mylittlebean2019 Fingers crossed you get your BFP .
@DoctorBambino Hopefully it will help you conceive 💕

BFN on a FRER this morning! Stupid CB test. Really hope AF shows soon then 😔

Faint line help guys. I've "tweaked" image so you can see on phone but I dunno if I'm imagining things. 16dpo today so it shouldn't be so faint but still no AF (CD32). Should I try pink dye FRER? Is this a CP?

@Littlebee1990 it’s still early days so don’t count yourself out yet! What is your temping saying? Is it still high?

@Beepbeep42 I can definitely see a line! Maybe test in a digital if you can?

My FF finally tracking my ovulation with 3 days of high BBT which is a relief as worried I wasn’t actually ovulating after this ridiculous long cycle. My only worry is we didn’t DTD on the day of ovulation itself. We did it for the 3 days before when I had my peak OPK so fingers crossed there was still some swimmers hanging around!! Now for the long TWW...

@Nottherealslimshady how are you today? Have you tested again this morning?

Thanks for the support ladies. Think the chemical last month sent me a bit crazy this month 🙈 never had a cycle this month and it’s so frustrating! All my friends got pregnant first time trying so they just don’t get it either so only talk to you all about it!

One minute I say I’m not gonna temp or use OPKS next month but then on the other hand I think not knowing what my body is doing will stress me more!

@mylittlebean2019 temp & RHR is dropping which usually happens when AF is on her way, still above cover line but it’s going down, I’ve found temping really hard this month because we’ve been away a few times I’ve slept shitty and woken up between 5-7am!

How many dpo are you @Littlebee1990?

That looks like a line to me @Beepbeep42! I’d try a pink dye.

I wouldn’t worry about not dtd on ovulation day @mylittlebean2019 - I think it’s meant to be just as effective the day before.

CD11 and flashing smiley for me this morning...

@Dinosaurus86 11DPO.. I think. It’s all such a mess because of the CP last month! Hope you’re ok x

@Beepbeep42 Looks like a BFP to me! X

@Littlebee1990 so sorry, I hope your next cycle is easier x

I think my lines faded today, I guess this is the end, I would be 6 weeks today.

@Nottherealslimshady have you had blood tests? I’m so sorry the line looks fainter. Perhaps it’s just a variation in the tests or amount of liquid you’ve had? I understand not wanting to get your hopes up though.

Thanks @Littlebee1990 I’m fine. Like all of us I suppose I thought I’d be pregnant by now, even though I knew realistically there was a good chance it wouldn’t work out like that. I confided to a friend the other day who emphasised just relaxing etc etc. Which I find frustrating but she is right. But how are you supposed to be relaxed over something you want so much and which has such an effect on your body (physically and mentally) every month?! Anyway, I’m trying. But 11 dpo is still early so perhaps there is time for a bfp for you. Otherwise it sounds like your body is still sorting itself out. Hopefully next month will be the one. I’m going to try acupuncture in Sept if this one doesn’t work out. At least I’ll feel like I’m doing something proactive.

@Nottherealslimshady really sorry to hear that x

@Littlebee1990 think it's a false positive but we'll see, cervix feels very firm. Only cycle 6 so can't complain but I already feel so exhausted with the TTC. Can relate with the cycles being all over the place, so frustrating.

Took a frer. Faintest double line so not sure.

Fainter line today. Another chemical, ah well.

Hi all,
Hope it's okay to join, would like to see if anyone has any advice.
Cycle #6. Ttc #1. My cycle is 28 days every month, that would make AF due on this Saturday the 8th. This month though, I ovulated early around 9/10dpo (used opks) so my AF on one app says I was now due yesterday the 4th. So I'm 15dpo no period. I have never ever been late before, it always starts on the day first thing. I was starting to get excited but I did one of those cheap little tests this morning and bfn. Has anyone had this and gone on to have bfp? I'm so confused as I'm always on time. The early ovulation has confused me! One app still says due Saturday but from ovulation I am 15dpo so another says yesterday! Any advice welcome. Baby dust to you all. X

I hope you are doing OK @nottherealslimshady 🤍

Sorry to hear you think its another chemical @beepbeep42 😔 TTC is so hard

@Lovebug06 I don't know the answer to your question but really hoping for a BFP for you 🤞

Cd12 here and a blank face on my CB opk still. Why do they make the packets so hard to open!? Every morning there I am DESPERATE for a wee, trying to rip open the stupid wrapping!!

Hope everyone is well

@DoctorBambino I just LOL’d.. every test I do either a pregnant or an OPK I moan about opening .. so loud too! Can’t do them on secret if my OH is sleeping in the bed and I go in the en-suite 🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha yes they are so bloody obvious. And with the clear blue ones you have to wait about a billion years for the stupid face to appear. I'm trying to keep the pressure off DH and keep my opks on the down low 🙈

@DoctorBambino Just feeling a bit lost tbh. Hope your peak comes soon, I agree the packaging is ridiculous on those things!

@Dinosaurus86 doctor at hospital took a blood test but I dont know what it was and you need two to know what's happening which EPU refused to do.

I think the line might be fading, not sure, I kinda want it to just be gone so I can focus on ttc rather than being in this no mans land.

@DoctorBambino thank you. I feel very pregnant and emotional and zero signs of spotting or cramping so no idea what to think (AF 4 days late)

@Littlebee1990 ha! Yes, literally rip them open with my teeth half the time.

@Nottherealslimshady let us know how you get on. Limbo is hard.
