***September 2018 Testing Thread***

[Sjf0709]

That’s what we are here for Vespa. I’ve done my fair share of moaning this last month haha. X

 

[Hlouisebaby3]

It all changes in an instant doesn't it! Good luck and enjoy all the BDing hehe

I'm kinda worried about doing the opks in case it shows I don't ovulate... just one of the many paranoid thoughts that runs through my head during this process... sigh!!!!

Hi ladies, I must be mad as had my baby boy 8 weeks ago today by c section, but can you pop me down for September 6th please. Pretty sure I've missed the boat this cycle, but there's a slim chance so may as well test, lol

GG you 're back!!! I can't believe it. Hope you and the munchkin are well and I can totally understand you trying again straight away. I know if I ever get a natural BFP I would feel the same as wouldn't want an only child.

But right now would still just like to get that first BFP!? Xx

Ah, bless you. I have faith for you and Alexis and all the others over in the long termers thread. How are you doing?

Yep, I'll be 40 in November and after the losses before Kieran and me not wanting to be a really old mum, we figured we'd try asap and hope for a sibling. Xxx

Thanks GG I think one of us long termers must be due some luck soon. I have stopped putting dates down on testing threads as its just a constant source of disappointment. But I still follow quietly wishing everyone well. And to remind myself that it is possible to get that BFP x

It absolutely is possible. I have such respect for how you handle it all. Hope this doesn't sound weird but, I do think of you often and hope for good news. Treetrunks too, she's not been on for ages but I often wonder how she is.

They will only tell you that you're having an lh surge. They don't confirm ovulation has happened. BBT is your best option for that. Xxx

Thank you

Do you temp as well? I find the opks a bit hit and miss sometimes, my temperature is far more reliable for indicating that I’ve actually ovulated, opks will just show the surge beforehand if I manage to catch it.

 

[Hlouisebaby3]

Oh really? I thought these would be better than temp! I'll see how I get on this month and go from there I don't want to end up feeling low thinking I haven't ovulate when I actually have. I think I may start early just because I have no clue when I actually do! Thanks girls

I agree with Vespa I have found my temps far more reliable than my OPKs. I’ve not ovulated so far this month but if I’d just been testing my OPKs then I’d have assumed I had but just missed the surge x

 

[EmmaN27]

AF arrived 2 days early, please put me down for 22nd. Thanks x

 

[Hlouisebaby3]

Sorry to hear that Emma but this September thread is going to be lucky for us all!!!

Wow you're brave

Glad you and little one are doing well though.

Very well now thank you. Had a fight with gp's for three weeks, knowing he wasn't right and thinking it was a milk allergy. It took for him to get a god awful rash all over to get them to listen. He's had 5 days on his lactose free hypoallergenic formula and is thankfully back to his happy, adorable self again.

How are you? X

I'm doing well thanks. Getting closer now and still in disbelief as I never thought I'd be here.

Fingers crossed you catch quickly the second time. I've heard so many stories of people who struggled with the first but fell easily with the second or even the third!

I don't think it's weird. I still follow that thread and hope that someone gets some good news as I was part of it for so long and I'm so grateful for all the support I had there.

Sorry to hear that Emma, onwards and upwards for this cycle!

I’m back from the mountains! 5 hours on the M6 back from the Lake District but worth it for those rainy peaks. Managed my opk despite wild camping on a wind-swept sheep-infested crag with no facilities bar a trickling stream and three dogs trying to sneak into my sleeping bag!. line darkening - not a positive yet but I shall DTD today and keep an eye on it. Good luck everyone. I’m impatient and haven’t even started the TWW yet.

Good luck and glad you’re back safe after the very wet on and off weather we have been having!

 

[Piglet30]

Thermometer went a bit crazy on the mountain though. 97.6 fri morn (which is in the high side for me pre ov) but 95.79 sat morn (which surely isn’t a temperature compatible with a living human)! FF app is gonna be super confused when I enter those. Think I might have to doctor or disregard them.

 

[Hlouisebaby3]

Welcome back!! Here's hoping that line darkens soon!! I did an opk for the first time today. Stark white but I knew it would be as I'm still 6 days off my fertile window (according to Ovia) just wanted to get a feel for them and get used to testing. Who knows, I could be an early ovulator! Feeling positive vibes this month though!! Keep seeing baby related things (I know that sounds stupid) but it's keeping my positivity high for this September group!

Crumble.... how you doing?? Missing your posts! Hope you're okay xx

Not weird at all GG it's nice to know we are still thought of and nice to hear from you with your little bundle as a success story.

You ll be pleased to here my 4 legged boy is still my baby for now. We are jumping round an arena event on Wed....eek. excited. And my friend who shares with me now has worked hard all summer and they are entered into their first BE80 in Sept. Can't wait I'm gonna be proud mum and groom x

Oh amazing. Where are they doing the BE80? Sounds such fun.

The horses are my sanctuary here too. You have to have experienced a bond with a horse to get it I think, but they are the most soulful animals. Just being around them seems to heal me. X
