Hi all, since it was requested, here is the August thread.
Let me know when you will be testing and I will add you all.

Hey Bloblo,

I'm on the June/July thread but please put me down for August 3rd. That's when AF is due and truly when I "should" be testing.

 

[AmandaGAC]

August 1st here.

 

[Heather.1987]

Subscripting in case july doesnt work!

 

[hopefulone17]

I will test Aug 7 if AF doesn't show

 

[Pixie2982]

Good luck everyone for August and lots of

 

[HopefulVR]

Could you please put me down for August 6th

 

[tbfromlv]

I've been out of the testing game for a while because I have irregular cycles and just had a lap & dye done. This cycle I started Clomid so I am hoping to O soon. I don't have a date yet but I want to join!

 

[JPARR01]

Going to test Aug 1!

 

[HopeBT]

Oh I love the name of the thread!
Bloblo, please put me on 17th Aug which is my hubby`s bday
I just did an IVF this cycle and will be having FET (frozen embryo transfer) early August
Good luck everyone

Hi Bloblo. I'd love to join please. Just got my first flashing smiley today, CD 16 which I'm really hoping is an indication of a shorter cycle this month. Last 2 have been around 38 days! Pending when I get my solid smiley I'll test about the 1st of August.
Thanks so much!

Hey Starry! I got my first flashing smiley yesterday too, we are synced. (2nd flashing today) Have you started BD yet? If you don't mind me asking. We planned too last night but got home way too late and were both exhausted. Will start tonight.

My flashy usually lasts 3-4 days before my peak, so I thinking we are still perfectly fine to catch the O.

Good Luck

I switched to the internet strips for the first part of testing. Last month I went through almost a whole box of the advanced clearblue tests. I had 9 days of high before I peaked. I figured I'd try a different route this time!

Hi Dream!

Yes we BD'd last night. I got my second flashing smiley this morning and got my solid smiley this afternoon. So we've BD'd again this afternoon. Thankfully it's the weekend. And I've only just found aut that the day after your first flashing smiley you can test more than once a day!
This is only the second time I've used these. First time in a April - but they're just so expensive.

It's a bugger when you both are just so tired but you're right - still plenty of time When do you count your DPO from though? I struggle with that part!

Fingers crossed for us!

 

[Nuthatch]

I won't be testing in August (hopefully will get my bfp in july anyhow, but wont be testing august either way), but i want to wish everyone so much luck and i will be reading along!!

 

[Dream143r]

It's quiet over here, how's everyone doing?

 

[HopefulVR]

I'm not temping or using opk's, simply because I don't think it's our timing that's the issue. We haven't had a SA done after hubby's vasectomy reversal yet, but I'm thinking I need to be more patient and give it more time for his count to increase. It's only been 4 months - which seems like a lifetime when you're staring at bfns every month. But in the sperm world, 4 months is a very short period of time.

In the meantime, everyone around me is getting pregnant - they don't know we are trying. One person I work with got pregnant by accident and was complaining to me about it. It took everything in me not to roll my eyes.

Ttc struggles suck!

 

[tbfromlv]

I finally got my positive OPK! I'm so glad I got it... I usually don't O until like CD70 lol (not exaggerating) but this cycle I am on clomid
Blobo I am listed as undecided now, but go ahead and put me down for August 2nd.. its early, but not crazy early lol

 

[AmandaGAC]

Finally got my crosshairs, so it actually looks like I'll test on the 31st. I'm 4dpo. I had very very very sore boobs even 1dpo. Some constipation and fatigue. Nothing going on today.

 

[Sorsha]

Hey! Dropping in here early. I'm on CD5 and based on my last few cycles will probably O around August 2, so you can put me down to test starting August 12. (I have trouble waiting any longer than 10 dpo... )

Nothing much to report otherwise! AF is just wrapping up, and next week we can start with the BDing.
