***August 2018 Testing Thread***

[Theosmama]

Amazing news Jellybean86 so happy for you! That’s a lovely line!

When’s your AF due Maximus17? Maybe me and you are in the same boat 😒

Not bothering testing now until well past my AF due date, it’s just causing way too much disappointment, not to mention my precious FRERS lol! I don’t want to believe I’m completely ‘out’ yet, still have so many strange symptoms and I generally don’t feel ‘due on’ so there’s still hope. Optimism is the way forward

thanks mine due on Friday

Mine too! X

 

[Theosmama]

Another BFN for me guys xx

Noooo still no af though? Never know.... might just need a couple more days xx

AF not due till Friday chick, I’m usually regular like clockwork and so are my symptoms! But this month it’s completely different, no usual AF symptoms whatsoever ! I didn’t get a Digi positive with Theo till 4 days late so I may just be late bloomer in general lol! X x

thanks nightowl. did you get your BFP?

I did, I’m still in disbelief, done a few more tests since and getting nice strong lines now and 2-3 on clearblue which has reassured me hcg is rising, I’m really rooting for you to get a nice sticky bfp soon maximus I will be wishing baby dust your way

 

[zara1986]

Do any of you have any tips for not getting completely obsessed? �� I'm over thinking every feeling, temperature etc! For example, one of my dogs has turned SUPER clingy over the last week, and I'm trying hard not to see that as a sign haha.

In other news, I have a wedding to go to, and AF due, both on Saturday. So I think I should test before then or on the day if AF hasn't appeared in the morning, then I'll know whether to drink or not!

Ah I am so happy for you night owl how exciting !
Thank you for your wishes and I hope it will happen for me too. Do you mind telling me if you used opks and if so did you do it every day or every other day and was that when you got your positive opk?

[Crumble]

Maximus17 I did update the first page with your name, hoping will bring you good vibes as it is been until now

 

[Crumble]

So DH POAS and had the same very faint line as I had guess he could be pregnant too then. Crappy one step tests.

Well, I can say congratulations to you and update the first page I think

At least it's not just me! I feel a bit ridiculous because it's only cycle one haha. Good luck with the move!

 

[Jellybean86]

Hi ladies, just been catching up on this thread as I posted my BFP this morning and was rushing to get ready for work so was only sending quick replies.

So this morning I had the line which I posted. Do i test again tomorrow. I am very unsure what I am doing with all this at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

I stopped getting obsessed after 1 year of ttc..am now almost at the 2 year mark and I don't even do opks or temps or anything as it never mattered anyway.

Hope you don't habe the same wait. Good luck ! I don't even know anyone on here anymore and I used to know alot of the girls but everyone has got their bfp while I am still here.

 

[Vintageling]

I've seen so many Bfps on this thread already and we aren't even half way through the month think crumble is spreading some really good luck for everyone now let's just hope it rubs off on the rest of us

Thank you for your wishes and I hope it will happen for me too. Do you mind telling me if you used opks and if so did you do it every day or every other day and was that when you got your positive opk?

Aah thank you maximus, I’m being cautiously optimistic.

Of course I don’t mind! I used opks every day, only once a day as I get a build up to a positive rather then a quick surge, so I never miss the positive - I use them from cycle day 10 onwards everyday at 2pm or thereabouts - but always between 12pm and 3pm if I can’t do it at 2pm, I seem to get my best result in the afternoon, I try not to go for a wee or drink too much water from 10am until I do the opk so I’ve got concentrated urine,

I find my nearly positive opk and positive coincide with ewcm, I usually get 2 or 3 days of it, although it’s not that plentiful, I have to reach in to see that it’s there urgh gross, I get it at the same time I’ve got my nearly positive and my positive opk

This cycle I got nearly positive opk on cd 16, positive on cd17, DTD on cd 16 around 2 o clock in the afternoon, ewcm had dried up by the evening of cd18 so I think I ovulated sometime on cd18, I had ewcm on cd 16 when we DTD so I think the sperm had found its way to the ewcm
to survive there while waiting for the egg - I have conceived like that before even further away from ovulation (think it was around 3 days before) when I had a chemical, in all honesty I credit OHs sperm for our luck so far, he doesnt drink, does a decent amount of exercise and he’s so fussy about underwear he will only wear 100% cotton boxies, maybe that’s had some impact on sperm quality!

Thanks night owl so that sounds like me. I am most fertile a day before positive opk. My husband drinks a lot and he won’t stop really. When he stopped for 3 months for detox reasons I got pregnant but miscarried. I told him to do the same but he won’t do it again I just have to pray that it happens while he is drinking. So just to check it sounds like you only bd the day before positive opk and that was the only day you did it?

Sorry you’re having such terrible luck alexis, it’s not fair, I seen on another thread you are waiting for ivf I really hope it is successful for you, or even better you get a magical surprise bfp beforehand x

We are still here for you Alexis, you have seen double the amount of BFP come and go that I have but I have faith that you will see your BFP in 2018. This will be your year xx

My OH just doesn’t take this anywhere near as seriously as I do either, yeah we only dtd once on cd16 and that was because he started saying he didn’t want to try this month, I nearly strangled him, he’s been really blasé about it, the best I’ve been getting out of him during ttc is once every other day for the 5 day window, I hope to god this one works out this time! Does your oh take supplements?

I’m fed up of onesteps, I’m using what I’ve got then getting rid lol, half of the ones I do are negative and the other half a very faint pink line so I just don’t know what to believe lol! Gonna buy a better test if no AF by Thursday, I’ve had this today as well as some squinters and some BFns! I did 4 in one sample and got 2 faint bfps one evap and a bfn lmao! Gonna keep dipping loads to get rid lol

Oh they are so rubbish, I’ve only used them this time cos they came free with my opks, I can definitely see a line on that one! Definitely invest in a good test to hopefully give you an idea of what’s going on
