* OCTOBER 2019 - Testing Thread *

[SockVortex]

Sore around the middle today and yesterday so I think I finally ovulated. Yay. D has taken his new vitamins for three months now so I’m maybe a little more hopeful? Into the two week wait I go!

Sorry about the BFN, Char

 

[CrazyChic]

No not yet. Me and OH need to go for blood tests before we get an appointment with the nurse to talk about the referral, but I need to have my bloods done on CD2-5 so now it’s a waiting game for AF to arrive. x

My friend is in the same situation waiting to have bloods done to start the ball rolling but as mother nature can be such a bitch she hasn't come on and is getting BFN

Sorry for the bfn Char, really hate long cycles xx


Its looking like a bfn for me this cycle too, I did a frer this morning and I’m not sure what I was expecting as it’s stark white as always. Hate staring at a test waiting for it to do some sort of magic trick and show another line when there’s clearly not even a hint of another line there lol.

Thought I’d test cause oh my.. my boobs hurt this morning but I guess it’s just a sign of AF on the way instead.

Sorry about your bfn Millie. Life’s a bitch. I did the same I even went back to my test a couple of minutes ago to see if anything miraculously appeared. Course it didn’t. Who was I kidding.
I have had a big spot come up on my chin that is really painful and my boobs are hurting too. This normally only happens after ovulation so who knows what the hell is going on?! X

 

[Littleperson]

Still no AF for me! Just looked back on here to see what my temps were as I hadn’t been officially charting but just telling you guys!
When I started it was 36.7
On the 14th it dipped to 36.5
And has been on the rise ever since. I’m 37.1 now.

now I’m thinking maybe 36.7 is my normal temp and the dip wasn’t implantation but was the dip you get just before you ovulate? meaning I might have ovulated on the 15th which would make me 8DPO today!

What do you guys think??
Looked at Flo and we dtd on 9th, 12th and 14th! so if I did ovulate later than I thought then I’d still be in with a chance!


just a theory though as I didn’t know my temps before. Thought I had a positive opk but looking back it wasn’t dark enough to be it!
Xxx

Really sorry for your BFNs this morning ladies! I really hope you’re okay. Can’t even imagine how hard it must be that far into this journey. My thoughts are with you guys xxx

Thank you for your kind words but I am actually okay
I hope your right regarding your temps and your still only 8dpo and glad you would have still covered yourself in the bedroom xx

I’ve been on the sperm hunt all month just incase something like this happened hahahaha xxx

 

[Natalie8964]

@chattychar1990 I'm sorry lovely. It's so rubbish when you get an awkward cycle! Hopefully it doesn't last too much longer for you! Xxx

 

[Natalie8964]

Chart watchers.. any thoughts? I'm just pleased it looks like I've definitely ovulated even if my positive opks dont match up to what FF is telling me

Good thing that they are going up, is there a reason why they are open triangles? This normally means the information isn’t accurate. Are you temping same time every morning and making sure you put the correct time when your entering the temp? Xx

 

[xMillie]

@Littleperson it could be possible that you’re only 8dpo and still with a chance for this month. Fingers crossed AF stays away xx


I think I’m okay about bfn as well.. well I don’t feel as upset about it as I thought I would? I know some people would say it’s too early still and you’re not out til AF is here but I just know I am out and fully expect it in the next few days.

 

[Jac2019]

Awww gutted just caught up on everyone. sorry bfns for you both and @Littleperson I hope you are earlier than thought and only 8dpo. I tested and nearly away really don't want to bother phoning epu as they will just say if lighter then test again in week and been there so many times for bad news I hate going there. Xxx

Last cycle was 36 days. So if this cycle is going to be the same I think it makes sense.

I really hope your line does get dark again! When I was pregnant with my son I stupidly took a test at 7 weeks and there was the faintest line ever! That’s when I was also having the pain and thought maybe ectopic! Anyways everything was fine in the end. But that test shouldn’t have been so light at 7 weeks! I think some tests are just like that. Don’t wanna give you false hope though! Xxx

Haha don't worry I am already counting CD5 well hope I am totally lost when I should track from since bleeding happened 3days before af due but who knows didn't even feel like proper period and still spotting.

That looks more promising for you then if 8dpo ooooh hope it will end in a bfp xxx

 

[Sjf0709]

Aw sorry @chattychar1990 i was really hoping this might be a lovely surprise for you and then you wouldn’t have to go through IVF. Hoping AF doesn’t keep you waiting for too long so you can get your bloods done and get your IVF on the way xx

Will you be doing opks and stuff or just take a total break from this month?! Xx

I think OH wants me to take a break he's just worried about what I put my body through last year. I don't really want to but I know he is right. Think though will do opks as I have only done them twice so want to get a clearer picture of my cycle xxx

Yeah, think its cos at the beginning of the cycle I was still off work so it was consistent at about 7am.. but now I'm back at work it changed to 6am when I input the temps. I wouldn't have thought that would make too much of a difference as they will all be the same time now xx
