** August 2019 Testing Thread**

[Jetina]

Does AF normally come on 14DPO? Are you certain that you ovulated when you did? Fingers crossed it isn't AF appearing for you hun.
If it was implantation its very unlikely that you will be showing a positive on a test already, you would normally get a positive a few days after. Good luck x

It's about the right time I think. I used to have 28day cycles which changed to 31days late last year, but last month it went back to 28days. It was this day exactly 4 weeks ago that I started spotting too. I remember it well because it was the week of my wedding (I was getting married on the Friday) and I was supposed to start taking norethisterone on the Monday because I knew I was due the Thursday/Friday, but it showed early and I didn't take them.

So far it's turned to lotiony CM with a brown tinge, and I still have cramps. I've also gained my usual 2lb that I do a the start of AF. I feel like it's going to hit me, but I know I'm still not out until it starts properly. Oh and I definitely ovulated when I thought, my test line was darker than the control on my OPKs.

If AF does show, then I'll be going to the docs to find out what the hell is going on with the crazy veins on my boobs! The visible blue ones have grown, some visibly stick out and can be felt, they're really visible under my nipples, and I've started getting spider veins from them too.

Hopefully the veins are a good sign for you hun . Good luck xx

They said i will hear from my consultant. If i don't get an appointment in the post this week i will chase them! xx

I'm well and truly out this month. Gutted, everything was looking so promising. It means I need to go see the doc about my veins, and also to get our fertility referral back on track. We were going to be referred last year because of our ages (I'm nearly 37 and he's 44), but everything got put on hold when we were planning our wedding.

Hi ladies just catching up. @chattychar1990 fingers crossed this month, loving your calm attitude. Rooting for you! So sorry to you @Jetina but that’s great about being referred, if you put it on hold before you should get an appointment pretty quickly compared to most in your area. Xx

How’s everyone doing today?

How’s everyone doing today?

Yeah i am Ok @SockVortex.
8DPO today and have been feeling 'wet' all day like AF is here, but its just CM (sorry TMI).
Also had some lower back pain this morning but i am definitely not taking this as a symptom also a few little sharp pains but i get this most cycles in the 2ww.

I have been looking into crystals, not really one for this kind of stuff but i purchased a moonstone and a rose quartz today that i am going to keep under my pillow, i have read quite a few success stories and i am literally at the point where i will try anything that will bring me some luck in the journey.

How are you hun? Where are you in your cycle? xx

I read somewhere that you should put the crystals under your bed if you can or under where you TTC so maybe do this if you’re planning on putting it under your pillow anyway? I’m not sure if I believe in it but it can’t hurt can it?!? Xx

Wow eight already! :O How has that gone so fast??

And yeah the crystals sound like they’re worth a shot!

I’m on CD27. No idea what dpo I am but I am ridiculously fed up of my boobs hurting. Nine days now. I keep waking myself up in the night when I roll over x___x

I know it has gone so quickly this cycle.
I really hope the sore boobs are a good sign for you @SockVortex.
When are you expecting AF? xx

No idea A ‘typical’ cycle for me is 35 days but I must have ovulated FAR earlier this cycle.

Thanks! I so want to see you with a BFP! Fingers crossed this is your cycle!

 

[Wanderite]

We need more BFPs for August!

 

[SugaryIris]

I am just in utter shock. 12dpo today and I got this beautiful line. I think it’s stronger than any line I’ve had before.

I don’t understand, how can the fertility treatments not work and then I get a natural bfp?!?!?

I’m so scared about another loss, having already had 3.... do you think if I call the gp they would give me progesterone? It helps reduce the risk of early mc according to Tommy’s...

Wow that's amazing @SugaryIris, congratulations.

Can't help with the progesterone question tho sorry xx

 

[chattychar1990]

OH MY ACTUAL GOD!!!
@SugaryIris that line is bloody beautiful!!
You deserve this sooooo much
I am absolutely over the moon for you. Massive congratulations to you hunnie

That spotting was obviously a good sign for you

It is definitely worth asking about the progesterone or they even give you aspirin to help with miscarriages too! Xx
