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.

Hi ladies 👋 been lurking for a bit as nothing much has been happening with me. Finally got my peak OPK this morning on CD29 so looks like it's going to be a 44 day cycle for me 😴 Sod's law I am staying with family for the next few days without OH. We managed to DTD this morning but that will be it until Friday when I'm sure my window of opportunity will be over so I'm not particularly hopeful now for this cycle.

Hope everyone is ok.

@Nottherealslimshady Thinking of you and keeping everything crossed 🤞 that you get some answers soon x

@DoctorBambino thankyou and for replying to me. Still no sign of AF, I'm very confused. Baby dust to you!

AF has ended today after our unexpected chemical on Friday/Saturday. Haven't told our family, not sure if we will. All the baby conversations that come up makes it hard to hold back.
We won't be TTC this month unfortunately as the potential due date just doesn't work for our family. So I won't have much to report until September. Just going to use OPKs to make sure my cycle doesn't go wonky.

@cd24x that timing sucks, maybe he can post you samples 😁

@Kalecat I'm sorry for your chemical, it might be good for you to have a short break and focus on eachother.

@cd24x day of peak normally gives you the best chance. Sperm will be sat there waiting for the egg to be released tomorrow. I normally ovulate day after my peak anyway xx

Evening, how is everyone?
I've been lurking in the background with not much to report! I'm CD13 and had my two peaks on the CBFM, so I am going to assume tomorrow is 1DPO. Feeling positive 😊

@Nottherealslimshady I hope your ok, sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

@Littlebee1990 sorry that your chemical has messed up your cycle for this month. Lots of my friends got pregnant straight away too and here I am on month 14...

@Fran2020 I love how positive you always are, your baby will be super lucky to have you as a mummy when the time comes 💛

Fingers crossed for you @Fran2020

My miscarriage is complete. App says to start OPKs monday and I got a bluetooth thermometer so I'm ready to start again. Cycle 3 coming up 🤞

@DoctorBambino Awww thank you, that's really lovely of you to say! 😊 Even though it's cycle 14, I feel like everything is going well right now: both my blood tests came back fine, my partners sperm analysis came back fine. I've had any letter from the hospital about my ultrasound and hopefully should hear about making an appointment at the fertility clinic soon. Plus me and my partner have been speaking more about everything and are feeling closer. 😊

@Nottherealslimshady I am so so sorry to hear that, I was feeling really positive for you. Here's to a lucky cycle 3 for you ❤️

@Nottherealslimshady Do you think it’s definitely a miscarriage? I’m still holding out hope for you ❤️

And I agree @Fran2020 you’re a total inspiration!

Not much to update here ladies.. still NO AF.. still no pregnancy.. I think I’m 13DPO.. CD38!! Please let me go back to 28 day cycles 😫

Thank you @Fran2020

Yeah I'm pretty sure @Littlebee1990 I was holding a tiny bit of hope with the lines staying the same but it's so faint this morning and I haven't felt at all pregnant since monday. I just hope it's not too long before we conceive again. App says 16 days until I ovulate again and suspecting a 38 day cycle so I'd say what you're experiencing is normal after an early loss. Fingers crossed your cycles settle down after this

@Nottherealslimshady if only it were that easy. Posting samples sounds a lot better than DTD in this heat!

@whilstwewait I'm hoping that our session yesterday morning will mean that there's some sperm ready and waiting for my egg.

@Fran2020 loving your positivity and glad you and OH are taking time to get closer with all of this.

@Littlebee1990 feeling you on the long cycles. This is going to be a 44/45 dayer for me and I'm bored already!

CD30 for me and just got a 200% OPK which was even higher than yesterday's. So I'm now a little bit more hopeful that jumping on OH tomorrow when I get home will give us a good chance. Although its meant to be 34 degrees where I am so might have to whack the fan on full blast to get it done 🤣

@nottherealslimshady I am so sorry 😔 hopefully your cycle gets back to normal soon for you 💕

Not much to report here. I am away for a few days without my oh so haven't stated opks as didn't see the point when I couldn't do anything. I am back tomorrow so will do one tomorrow night and hopefully get a peak on Monday. I am CD10 and ovulated last month on CD14 so hopefully will be the same this time .

Good luck to everyone either waiting to test or heading into fertile week. 💕

AF arrived this morning, cycle 5 we go again 🤞🏼

@littlebee1990 Sorry to hear AF has arrived 💕

So sorry AF has arrive @Littlebee1990

Thankyou @1992EM fingers crossed this is your month

@Littlebee1990 Awww thank you! Really sorry to hear AF has arrived for you! Sending you positive thoughts for cycle 5. I hope your cycles go back to normal now. xx

@Nottherealslimshady how are you today?

@cd24x Thank you! Definitely glad I'm getting closer to my partner during this all.

@Fran2020 not doing bad, just waiting till it's time to do OPKs again.

How are you? Its lovely to hear that its bringing you two closer, I really hope you get your BFP soon

@Nottherealslimshady That's good 😊
I'm good thanks, 2DPO today but just forgetting about it and enjoying some days off work with my partner! It's so crazy hot today! ☀️🥵 Thank you, me too and I hope you do too x

Really sorry @Nottherealslimshady and @Kalecat. And sorry that AF has arrived @Littlebee1990 - I suppose at least it removes the uncertainty.

I'm CD14 and still on the flashing smiley but my line was quite dark this morning. Probably expecting peak tomorrow as last month it was CD15. Bad timing for DTD given extreme heat today and away from v early to v late tomorrow!! Always seems to be the way! Need to persuade DP to go for it very early tomorrow but he is not a morning person...

Thank you everyone! CD1 here I am 😃 Ordered some preseed to try this cycle but aside from that we will continue as normal which is folic acid and vitamin D for me, wellman vitamins for my partner and I’ll start using OPKs from CD8.

I’m a notepad fiend so bought myself a note notepad so I can keep and track OPKs so I don’t end up doubting when my peak was. Gonna stick them down in my book so there’s no doubt in my mind ..: the heart column is for when DTD.. yes I have apps that do this but anyone else just like physically writing something down!? 🤣

Ooh yes, I’ll be interested to hear how the preseed goes @Littlebee1990. I know a friend of mine used it to good effect.

@littlebee1990 I used pressed for some of our dtd last month to try it out . I think we will use it again this month . I love to see things written down too.

Just did my first opk there as I am now home and it is super faint which I'm glad about as didn't want to risk missing my peak . I am CD11 so predicting peak opk on Monday and Tuesday .

How is everyone today? I'm 3DPO and keeping relaxed! Enjoyed a couple of days off work with my partner which was lovely!

@Littlebee1990 I am loving that organisation!! Can't wait to see photos as you start filling it in 😊

Hi

I'm 28 and this is my first cycle ttc.

Ovulated on CD20, but not feeling very positive this try as we could only dtd CD 14,15,16 before my OH travelled back to work.
