Anyone testing at the end of August? Help me resist testing early!

[RMarieClaire]

Would love to meet ladies testing at the same time so we can stay strong together.

1DPO today. For the first time, I felt ovulation pains. And for the first time I had a clear temp spike today (which will hopefully last next few days to confirm). We also BD every day for 5 days 😴 despite the heat!

As such I know my hopes will be high this month. Really don't want to test early as my cycles are still regulating and I'm not sure I can handle the long wait for AF (last cycle was 45 days.

Sorry to hear that @whoisjoe - if it was an ic could well just not be sensitive enough!

@HollowayL30 I have to test tomorrow at 12DPO because I'm giving blood that afternoon. Really don't want to. Hate that BFN! Convinced it's not our month as zero symptoms still and would rather wait for AF to arrive

You?

I'm trying to hold off testing until tomorrow. My DP has been away for a week and I figure him getting back will be a good time to test. I've been feeling pretty crappy for nearly a week now, very tired, dull headaches, stomach pains, so if I'm not pregnant then I need to see a doctor as I feel grotty! The stomach pains I've got now feel a bit more like they do when AF is coming, so maybe it's that...

I'm testing tomorrow morning 11dpo. It's Wednesday night here in aus so heading to bed shortly and will test first thing in the morning. I am going to use a frer as I'm sick of cheapies giving false hope with their random faint lines.
Good luck @RMarieClaire!

Aww lots of testing tomorrow!! Well I done a free yesterday as I just couldn't wait ( to be fair I ovulated later than I expected only by 2 days so I think my period isn't due till atleast Sunday) the test came up with the faintest line and I mean it was so faint you had to squint to see it, but I made my friend do a test who definitely isn't pregnant and you could definitely see the different with hers and mine... so I'm waiting till tomorrow eve 😂

Aww my partner is from Australia!! @LorrieLu
The cheap ones honesty I don't trust them!with my last pregnancy which was so unexpected I tested with a FRER and had two faint line, I was convinced I wasn't pregnant as I was on the patch so done another test a different brand in the morning of the next day and it was negative! Just shows how sensitive the FRERs are! Good luck!! Xx

@RMarieClaire I think the same, I had a chemical last month and I just knew I was pregnant this time even tho I've seen the faintest line I still don't feel like it's going to happen this month. The only thing I've had is real bad headache and some days I've been shattered and the occasional sensation in my nipples but nothing that I would normally notice x

This is how faint it is, sorry it looks grubby I hide it in my make up drawer 😂

..... and I think I'm
Only 10dpo maybe 11. X

Congratulations @HollowayL30! Fingers crossed it stays for you.

I gave in and tested as my body is really confusing me right now. The symptoms over the last nearly a week have really made me think I'm pregnant (though I've never been pregnant before!). But today I got some pains that felt more period-like, and my extreme tiredness and general dull headache have gone. So, the test looks positive to me. The line is faint but from what I understand that's normal. However, at the same time as doing the test I realised I was bleeding a bit! So I'm wondering if it's a chemical pregnancy.

Oh @Meg87 that is definitely positive! A little bleeding can happen with implantation and isn't necessarily anything to worry about. How much are we talking? FX for you

I can see that line @HollowayL30! Really hope this is the one for you.

@Meg87 aww as it's a faint it could be implantation! How much is it only when you wipe?

@RMarieClaire Aww I hope so! Not going to over think anything, I have like 3 test in the cupboard and it's so tempting but not going to now till Friday 😂 x

It was just a bit of old looking blood when I wiped. That was about 5 hours ago and haven't had any more since, I'll just have to wait and see! I'm trying to stay positive, eek!

So exciting @HollowayL30 looks like a faint line!
I have tested this morning and got a bfn 😞 I'm feeling like this isn't our month.

Well this is a shock! Zero symptoms. Absolutely sure I was going to get a BFN.
Thought I was only 12DPO but perhaps not.

God I hope this is a sticky bean! Good luck everyone

Congrats @RMarieClaire 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

@RMarieClaire Huge Congratulations 💐 I've just done another test and the line is there and so much stronger than two days ago so fingers crossed this one sticks too this time! x

Thank you!

@HollowayL30 that's great. FX all round.

@Meg87 any update? Sounds positive if it was such a small amount.

Thank you @Sansa87 - have you tested?

@RMarieClaire I got this today 11dpo, along with a long of nausea and constipation, so I’m keeping everything crossed

Omg congrats @RMarieClaire and @Sansa87! hope it's a sticky one for everyone!

I had a teeny teeny teeny bit of blood this morning, and that's all I've had since I first noticed the bleeding yesterday afternoon so still in with a chance I think!

Ah congratulations @Sansa87! Clearly a lot of baby dust in the air this month

Congrats @RMarieClaire that's amazing!!!

I've had light spotting since Monday (week before af is due) it's heavier today and brown in colour. So weird. Expecting a full flow by this afternoon by the feels.

6dpo so far. Late ovulation at CD21... cycle is usually 24-26 days, so this has been pretty long in comparison to my usual. Have been having cramps on and off for the past couple of days. Fighting the urge to test until at least 10 dpo 😫
