***August 2018 Testing Thread***

[IVW]

Thank you girls, I just had a cry and I feel already better....kind of. I was reading that digital tests needs 25 mlu to get a positive, a FRER needs 15 mlu, so I think I need to wait and see what happens. Sorry to be so negative today...I think is all the stress from the moving and from my husband's "period".....I am usually a positive person, but I am having one of those day.

Sometimes us woman do need a good cry, just to let it all out.

Men 100% have periods, just the physical side of it is invincible my oh definitely has periods

even coming from me, who isnt as clued up as most of the girls in here, you definitely are not out yet. I think the wording probably sent you over the edge

10dpo is when i tested and thought i was out, but then look what happened, 11dpo it happened, but my hcg was still quite low, hence why i waited to use the digi.

Crack on with your house, put that smile back on your face and just patiently wait to see what happens. As they say, you arent out until the witch shows up. FX she doesnt

Don’t lose hope Crumble.

I am out this month AF has shown up TODAY! After all my positive signs too, I feel like a right fool.
My cycles haven’t settled since having my implant out and vary in length from 25-30 days!
I had a positive on an OPK 2 weeks ago on Friday!
I’m using flo, has anyone got any other suggestions of better apps to track?

Sorry AF got you x

Aw Crumble I am so sorry to hear you’re having such a bad time of it at the moment. It sounds like you have a lot going on at the moment and I think that cry was definitely needed to help you feel better.

I didn’t see anything on the tests but I’m bad at line spotting. Like you said, if possible, best to wait until AF is due because otherwise it causes more heartache. Easier said than done I know!! Keeping everything crossed for you and sending you plenty of

Sorry to those who the witch has caught. I’m using Ovia and Fertility Friend apps to track Mrs Woody. I like Ovia because I know it has a good pregnany app and it also has suggested articles to help you each day. X

Awwwwwww.....i just want forget today and go back with my zen approach....she says hahahah
Thank you for the support, really, means very much to me..... especially now that I got the hubby with the men period!

 

[Crumble]

Anyway.....I am looking at my boobs now and they seems bigger , but I don't have tender breast at all and this is strange, usually I got sore boobs before my period. I don't know what to think, but actually, I don't want to think

Well after testing on the 14th and 15th, both BFN the old witch arrived today so we are into TTC cycle 7. It kind of sucks as going on honeymoon in 2 days so now have the witch to deal with plus by the time I am playing again my parents will of joined us with our 10 year old who will be sleeping in our room so looks like we will have to skip a cycle. All becuase I o'd late this month and pushed AF back by 3 days... gaaaaaaah!

 

[Microbug]

It is always hard to find the "right time" for us too as I am working on 12 hours shifts so when we should do the deed sometimes I feel so tired that I can hardly keep my eyes open. It isn't easy as some people think to have a baby

 

[Kitana]

Aww crumble, we women have so many hormones wreaking havoc on our bodies, and still we manage to not kill everyone haha! It's okay to feel sad sometimes. Might be a good sign!

 

[firstfreakout]

My OH works shifts too, including nights and late hours, so sometimes it's hard to find any time for each other when the kiddo is asleep.

Crumble this may sound awful but maybe try and sneak into the bathroom alone together for a quickie when your kid's asleep not the most romantic I know, but hey - whatever works! I'm sorry you're having such a hard time at the moment. Sending you some positive vibes and baby dust for next month. Even if you don't end up TTC next month, you'll be on your honeymoon and that's super exciting!

Oh no! Honeymoon with AF! I have read about these sponges which you can use during your AF so you don't leak. It's not used as a real tampon but it allows you to have sex without the mess. Apparently the men don't feel a thing either.
Maybe you can get a quick order of them before you leave?
Sucks the witch got you though...

I love a quickie! I don't always get them though as OH usually takes 10+ mins

OH just came in the room and saw I was on here and went
"Oh back to the pregnancy forum I see... BECAUSE YOU'RE PREGGYYYYYYYYY" in a sing song voice, gave me a smoosh on my bum and left.

We have a whiteboard on our front door for notes to each other and he wrote "let's make a baby" on there a few days ago. Underneath I wrote a countdown til testing and the next morning he changed the number before he went to work.

I think it's safe to say someone is definitely on board with this process! We didn't try for DS so this is all new to us!
