***August 2018 Testing Thread***

I brought them when I had my miscarriage to see the line disappear, I’ve never used them to see the line build up lol, I will NEVER buy them again, I’d rather wait until AF is missing, feel like I’m going cross eyed staring at them all lol!!

Girls, is this a evap or a line - I can't see it very well on the thumbnail itself but on the main pic I see it...

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

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?

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?

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?

Yes I make him take the vitamins every morning! He has no choice but take them that the only thing I have control over.

Hi all,
Up until now I have been a silent spectator but I want to throw my hat in this month. I think (first month of using OTKs) I ovulated on the 5th so I will try and not test until the 19/20th. Third month of trying. Good luck to all you lovely ladies and congratulations to those who are already celebrating this month x

 

[Crumble]

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!

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.

I don't have much to say, just a darling

Ergh I feel so sick!!! Almost constantly for the last 3 days but especially when I try and eat. I really hope this is an early sign and it's not just for no reason because I can handle it if it's for the sake of a pregnancy but not just for nothing!

 

[Coles]

Thanks
I have never had such strong ovulation symptoms - cramps and sore boobs for a week and a half now. Started using OTKs as was convinced I wasnt ovulating but turns out I do just A LOT later than I thought, cd21/22.
Positive thoughts for all....... this does look like a lucky �� month x

Gosh all these BFP’s!!! Let’s hope it continues! X

 

[Jellybean86]

Ok I have done a digital test which says pregnant 1-2weeks. I wanted to be extra sure.

I am experiencing different cramps now to the normal AF ones. Feels like trapped wind. Keeps coming and going but is worrying me a bit.

 

[cfjs]

Congrats x

 

[Jellybean86]

I remember my cat being so clingy! I didn't know I was pregnant yet but he was stuck to me like glue, he would usually try to lie on my belly whenever I would sit down.

I had even sent my oh a message saying how annoying he was and my oh replied, well maybe it's a sign!

Good luck!xx
