** August 2019 Testing Thread**

Negative again! Now 2 days late, no sign of AF at all. Only 2 things I can think of is ovulated later than I thought I did or something is up with my periods when AF arrives we will be going to the doctors this month get an early start as this will be month 10!

Sorry Hannah! It’s so shit seeing a negative isn’t it!
I told a little white lie when I went to the doctors and said I was trying longer than I actually was. I think it’s good to get the testing in motion as it can take a while for the NHS to get you booked in depending where you live. X

Thanks for replying xx

Not sure what’s going on I’m CD 36, no sign of AF at all. But lots of EWCM anyone think it could be ovulation this late on or am I gearing up for AF?

I don’t have pcos so I could be wrong but I think if you haven’t ovulated then AF will be late. What’s your chart like now? You could very well be gearing up to ovulate x

With my pcos I’ve had cycles up to 67 days normal being 35-37 so could just be a longer cycle x

CD7 for me today and because of my last cycle that last so long, i have decided that we are going to DTD every other day throughout my whole cycle and also use pre-seed from around CD10 every other day. This way i know i would have done everything i can to cover ourselves.
I will be using the cheap opk's this cycle too and starting them from around CD12.
Heres hoping that cycle 14 is a lucky one
How is everyone doing? x

My first month using cheapie opks and I stared cd12. Cd16 and no peak yet but did have some ewcm so hoping not to far away and we dtd last night just in case and will dtd every other day from now . Last month I had ewcm about 4 days before ovulation so I’ll keep testing.

So far using fmu for cheapie opks, I have a line every morning but fluctuates in colour but not near to control line colour yet.

Good luck hun x

Fingers crossed ovulation isn't to far away for you @SugaryIris - It' a good sign you have been getting EWCM!
I am really not a fan of the cheapies, i never use to get on with them but i just can't justify spending the money all the time on the CB one's. i have a few left so i might just use them along side the cheapies when they are getting darker.
I will use with FMU too and once i can see it getting darker i will do them at work and in the evening too!
I am going to start using guaifenesin again this cycle, its been a few months since i last used it and thought it cant harm.
Good luck for this cycle hun xx

I honestly highly recommend Guafenesin (cant spell), its the only cycle i used it a LOT from af - 2 days before O i also took a lot - didnt measure, swigged from bottle :/

I found it harder to pin point O with my CM that cycle tho as it does make creamy cm less thick.

We also used pre seed.. -2 4g -1 barely any :/

Best of Lucks!

So you started the cough syrup straight after AF? I will go and get some today and start this evening

What does this also mean? '-2 4g -1' - i am probably reading it wrong but cant work out what you mean haha!! x

Ah sorry erm so for the try -2 (2 days before O) used 4grams and for try -1 (1 day before O used hardly any like a swipe on finger. DH prefers -1 being the "one" that worked as it was a natural try. -2 (4g) was self insemination.

Yeh basically i wanted to stop trying after Junes cycle and wanted to get rid of all the Guafensin i had left so i took it a lot earlier and took a lot more as i didnt measure it either i swigged from bottle. I think i must have taken it from after af as i wouldnt have been able to get rid of it in time..

Okay i get it now thanks. I think i might need to buy another tube of the pre-seed as i used it quite alot last cycle. I will be using self insemination with the applicators!
Hope you and your little bean are ok x

I have no idea what guafensin is!

It is cough medicine hun that you take up until ovulation to help thin the cervial mucus x

I’m having one of those days where I’m losing all hope and don’t know how long I can continue on this rollercoaster. I cannot believe I’ve been pregnant 4 times, first time and last time without even trying yet in a year of trying (few months off) I haven’t been pregnant once. It’s making me think it just can’t happen for whatever reason. Just one of those days x

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way rainbow. It has been 8 months since my last chemical so I get where you are coming from. I really hope that you get your rainbow soon.

Sorry you are feeling this way Rainbow. It’s okay to have days like that. You can’t be expected to be positive all the time when your going through this tough journey.
Just know that we are all here for each other on those shit days. Hope your feeling better today. Big hugs
You will get your rainbow xx
