Oh maybe something went wrong, I can see the picture in the message

I agree u can see it clearly on there but not sure if it looks grey xx

 

[Bevziibubble]

I see something but not sure on colour either. Good luck

 

[elencor]

Thank you ladies we'll see... I hope it's something in person there's definitely pink in a side, but the rest of the line looks grey, I'll go buy more tests later

Yes I see that faint line also!

Big temp drop today so expecting af soon. I did temp a bit earlier than normal but figured that was better than after broken sleep. Hoping af hurries up.

 

[Kimmi82]

@Jft1 Big huge congratulations!!! There is no denying those lines!! How are you feeling? Interestingly enough, on my BFP cycle with my youngest, my temp did the exact same thing with dropping to barely above cover before rising back up. So so happy for you and have you updated on the front page!

@Deethehippy yes, with temping it's important to try and keep as close to the same conditions as possible from night to night. Of course that doesn't always work out, but you will get more reliable readings that way

@doggylover thanks hun! haha...your mind just messes with you when you are trying!

@Kimmi82 FX the cramps and sore boob are a good sign!!

@Lottielouf sounds promising!! And something is catching my eye!

@KitteyKat2010 umm....that looks like a super positive BFP!!!

@Alligator glad that hubby was in a better mindset and i hope that it was just a one off kind of day! That's wonderful that your SIL and BIL were able to do another IVF round...I hope they have a healthy and sticky bean!!

@Suggerhoney I'm so glad you were able to get a call in with the doctor and start figuring out what is going on. I hope it isn't pre-menopause. Totally makes sense to take a few months off after this cycle to get things back on track.

@MrsKatie ugh, family drama can just be too much sometimes. I hope things resolve soon so the rest of the visit isn't uncomfortable or tense. It sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with your sister and BIL and you can tell even in your writing how precious that is to you and how much you want to nurture it. I'm sure you all will work things out and hopefully as the years go on more and more growing pains will continue to work themselves out. OOh!! The drops of pink blood sound promising!!

@Nixnax wahoo for being back in the TWW!!!

@aymz1983 all of those signs sound positive!! Can't wait to see your tests in a few days!

@monroea what DPO are you? Are you sure that's an evap??

@Jessylou4 So exciting! Do you have any pictures of the faint line? I know we all love to analyze the squinters! I hope you find out soon about your job and that it's positive news!

@tbfromlv wahoo!!! That's amazing news and I hope your body is getting into a more predictable pattern!! Go catch that eggie!!

----------
I really feel like this is going to continue to be an amazing month! There are so many promising early squinters and symptoms and I pray that we all have our BFPs with sticky beans!

----------
AFM, made it into my parents house last night. I got the room set up as close as I could to the same conditions as I do at home so that my temps will be somewhat reliable. Took my temp this morning and got my CH! If I had bothered to look at my chart yesterday I could have seen that I actually ovulated the same day as my OPK! Which means even though we only got in 2 BDing sessions this month, they were 3 days and the day before ovulation! So officially 3 DPO today and back to feeling good about this month! DH was being really sweet this morning when I was talking with him. He really wants a girl this go around. He has wanted a girl since we were pregnant with our oldest and I am praying that dream comes true for him. I wanted 2 boys and we have been blessed with them. He obviously would love a third boy as well but he craves that father daughter experience and relationship. It was just a sweet moment because he doesn't talk much about a third baby.

Thankyou lovely!

Trying not to symptom spot but it's hard! I'm still not feeling myself at all today, very bloated and gassy and feeling generally bleurgh!

Really hope its a good month for you too! Xxx

 

[FTale]

@elencor I can see some thing faintly there. FX it gets darker

 

[Mummafrog]

Sorry Alligator I was really hopeful for you and I'm sad. Fingers crossed you get into the next cycle soon.

Elencor that is hands down a very exciting line for a cheapie. We need more tests! Sending you lots of luck and baby dust.

 

[Bre1990]

I feel like I'm going to be out, I am such an emotional wreck at 7 dpt 5 dpo. Only other sign is tingly breasts.

 

[aymz1983]

Hope everyone Is ok today. We've been out all day, took the kids to the beach for a few hours, then we had date night at a Thai place OH has been dying to take me to for ages. Food is amazing, oh if only I could eat there more often!

I was in Asda earlier and picked up just their cheapy own brand test, my version of an IC given I haven't had the need to buy them lol. Anyway, at 8dpo there was obviously nothing (pic attached anyway because who doesn't like to look at a stick haha). A white that would give Daz a run for its money. No other symptoms really, gum still sensitive and bleeds slightly...I only touched it by accident when getting a herb off my tooth. Boobs are tender when in bra, less so when out, nips feel slightly more sore but I could be hopeful and imagining it all.
I have realised though that this may have been a whoops time but actually, I really can't wait to have a child with OH

@elencor i see it, can’t wait to see some progression.

afm I’ve been at the in-laws for their 40th wedding anniversary party. My brother in law had a tantrum and refused to come outside (he’s nearly 50) my other brother in law didnt come at all so the in-laws were radged (sorry for my slang, I’m from North Yorkshire and we say strange things like bimf and ladgin meaning cold and embarrassing) managed to get through the day and now I want to sleep because I have an early day of swimming lessons but insomnia doesn’t like me sleeping

 

[KitteyKat2010]

Been cramping and very gassy yesterday and today, I also had this icky jelly like stuff on the toilet paper when I wiped, never had that happen before. still have not tested (surprisingly!) I am going to try and hold off as much as I can....I will be moving my testing date to the 17th of August...which is a week from this Monday and I'll be a week late or so, I believe the test I had that "looked" like a positive was just an evap line. I honestly have no idea when I ovulated so could be anytime...and I don't have "normal" periods especially getting off birth control, so we will see what happens

 

[Alligator]

No af yet, ugh! Hope she shows up tomorrow just because I’m over waiting and wondering.

we had a pretty busy day with an outdoor play date with one of my 2yo friends and then some time in the backyard after her nap.

 

[kksy9b]

@tbfromlv @doggylover ugh, I can't imagine dealing with the long cycles like that! It must be really frustrating when you are trying. I hope you all fall pregnant super quick so that you don't have to deal with it!

@Suggerhoney I hope you O at your normal time and not too early so you can try again this month. But if not, then hopefully taking the couple months off will let your body reset and you can get some answers from all your testing

@tropicsgirl I'm so sorry that AF showed up and wish you all the best for your next cycle. Stick around though because we would love to cheer you on through ovulation and the start of your TWW!

@KatVM Welcome! I have you updated on the front page! I'm in my second month TTC as well...wishing you all the best of luck!!

@Jft1 I'm glad you are feeling okay so far! I dont think with either of mine I really had any symptoms until 5 or 6 weeks. That's great you are able to get an early scan!! How did your husband react?

@elencor Ooh! I definitely see something, I just can't tell if there is color to it or not! Hopefully AF will stay away tomorrow and you'll get a nice and clear BFP!

@Stargirl1993 welcome back! Have you been taking OPKs at all? Your temp will move up and down pre-ovulation so doesn't persay mean you are ovulating now. When do you usually O?

@3 girlies totally understand needing to take a break. trying is not easy and it's okay to need to step back

@Kimmi82 FX it's all good signs!!

@Bre1990 sounds promising! Definitely not out!!

@aymz1983 the date sounds lovely! And what a great realization to have!

@Hevalouaddict ugh, family drama! hope you all managed to have a nice time even if your BILs were being immature about things.

@KitteyKat2010 all sounds promising!! And you've got some great willpower there to hold off testing! Can't wait to see what happens and praying you see a BFP! I've got you moved to the 17th on the front page

@Alligator i'm so sorry hun. i hope she shows up soon, is kind to you, and gets out the door so you can move on. the playdate sounds wonderful

---------------
I hope everyone is doing well this weekend!

@Lightning7 @Vicbrenan how are you ladies doing?? Hoping to see some great updates from you soon!

-----------------
AFM, have just been enjoying the get away to my parents! The kids have been playing outside every minute that they can because we've had this amazing reprieve from all the excessive heat! It's been a weird August for me- tons of rain and temps in the 80s....usually it's dry and 95+...I'll take it though!

Cycle wise, I'm 4DPO and have been having bloating the last 2 nights. I know it's not an actual pregnancy symptom, but does make me feel better that my body is likely ramping up progesterone (have had some hormone issues in the past). By the time I get home, I'll be 7dpo and only 2 or 3 days away from starting to test! This has been an easy tww for me lol

 

[Jft1]

I've cautiously updated my ticker.. I still feel in a bit of a bubble and it doesn't quite feel real yet.
Here's a progression picture over the last few days. The line is getting darker so I'm taking a positive from that.

@kksy9b DH was in shock at first I think and then beyond excited. We were sure it would take us longer to catch, so we're over the moon. They'll be 17 month between DS and baby2 when he/she arrives.
Glad you've had a lovely time at your parents. Can't wait to start seeing your tests!

I can't wait for there to be more bfps in here, baby dust to everyone

 

[Bevziibubble]

Yay for a ticker

Brilliant progression on your lines!!

@kksy9b when I get home from my in laws it will be either day of my period or time to test, so also enjoying being away and busy in the 2WW!

I am 6dpo today. Have 5 days left to wait until my period is due
