**August 2020 Lucky Testers: 49 Testers - 16 BFPs**

[Deethehippy]

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

Those lines are really good for cheapies at 11/12 DPO! Look just like the lines I got with my twins
Love the ticker

Not much going on with me. Enjoying the last of the time off with my kiddies. Because I work in a school we’ve basically been off since end of March. Back to school in September is going to come as a shock! I’ve been getting up late and eating at different times..need to get back into a routine! It’s been lovely to have this quality time with them though.

I was super down from the TTC as you know...even told OH I wanted a full hysterectomy to be over all this pain each month. He is so supportive and said he just wants what is best for me.
Anyway we BD outside of the fertile period and it was nice to just have some loving without the stress. I don’t think I am ovulating until around next weekend and not really decided if to ‘try’ or have a break month. I expect we will BD during the fertile time but I will try not to care about timings and stuff and just go with the flow.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

It’s going to be so weird getting everyone back in to routine! I work in schools as well (I’m a sub teacher to work around the kids) and it’ll be peculiar being back! I’m glad you and dh were able to have some time together that was just about being together rather than ttc.

sooo...
We are staying at my in laws atm. This morning my MIL was on FaceTime to my SIL (she lives on the other side of the world). That was happening in another room and I went in to as MIL a question. I could see her from behind and as I approached MIL put her fingers to her lips (to tell SIL ‘shhh’) and they both just stopped talking. So obviously talking about me.

I’m feeling so upset about it SIL and I have had an up and down relationship (she is pretty selfish, and years ago she was behaving badly to my DH and I called her out on it. She then acted like I was horrible, and of course MIL agreed even though I was just protecting DH. But there is HUGE favouritism for SIL over DH) but I thought we were kind of past it, and I thought MIL and I were on track again for these last years. To know they’ve been gossiping about me is horrible. I don’t want to tell DH as it puts him in a horrid situation between us all, plus he’d probably think I was reading too much in to it.

Sorry for the ramble.

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

I had that in June and I was pregnant x good luck!!

@Deethehippy dont tell me that!!! We don't have twins in the family, but I always Said I'd love twins. Obviously DS is a singleton and we're stopping at 2, so if this is twins I'll freak
So glad you've enjoyed your time off, it's nice when some positives have come out of this shitty time.

@doggylover im sorry you're feeling upset. Are you close with your own parents/family? I get on well with my in laws but theyre different to my family. My MIL and SIL are quite close and my SIL makes them spend time with her daughter and makes them buy pink toys etc so when my son visits it's only pink toys. It annoyed me st first but I have an amazing relationship with my family so he gets all the love he needs there and I've got my mum so not too bothered about a relationship with them.

Well I got a pregnant 2-3 at 13DPO - maybe you should try a digital!?? I do seriously think those lines are progressing really well though...if not twins it must be a good sign! (or triplets! lol)

You are free to ramble away with us
I'm sorry you feel awkward with the family dynamics..it's horrible to feel singled out. Sometimes people are actually jealous of us when they talk about us though so try to rise above it and keep smiling...you know you are a good person and if they can't see you for you niceness then that is down to them.

thanks so much. Yes I am close to all my family, we live close to them (in another country from in laws) and my own siblings who also have kids as it’s a great unit to be part of! My husband is quite close to his family as well, but they are very different to my family/me so I think that it’s just partly to do with that. We just don’t really “get” each other in many ways! I can’t fault them with the kids though, they are excellent grandparents.

thanks lovely. I try to be a good daughter in law, and a good house guest, but not good enough I guess

Can’t wait to see more tests, and hopefully double lines!

So.. There's definitely progression
I'm so scared and excited !!

That’s so clear! How exciting!

 

[Hevalouaddict]

Eep @elencor! It has colour.

@Jft1 yay for the ticker! Twins are ace. I have fraternal boys I had 3 babies under the age of 2.
These are my boys

 

[Lottielouf]

Hi ladies, I’ll have a proper read through this later on and see how you’re all getting on but just a quick update from me...

I have been testing since I had the mega faint squinter the other day and have had similar lines since with more colour but no major progression.

I still have sore boobs and have for a while....AF is due tomorrow but I don’t have my usual cramps yet and my skin isn’t bad this time either which is a big symptom of AF for me.

BUT... I have had extremely light pink discharge twice today when wiping so I’m guessing I’m out and AF will arrive on time tomorrow.

part of me still hopes she doesn’t show...late implantation maybe? Especially with the lack of AF symptoms Or maybe I’m just clutching at straws...I don’t know

If she does show my cycle will have been 34 days which i suppose is the silver lining to this although this cycle we literally couldn’t have timed BD any better...so frustrating!

 

[MrsKatie]

@Lottielouf oh no I’m sorry you’re in limbo! FX your bfp is on its way.

congratulations to the BFPs

@Deethehippy so glad you are having that quality time with DH. I feel that too, if AF shows this month (which i think she will) I might need a couple months “off” before I dive back in to full-on TTC. Might get a BBT at that point, too... not sure.

7ish dpo and not feeling hopeful. We get home on Wednesday and I’ll test then if AF hasn’t shown.

 

[Jft1]

@elencor great lines!!

@Hevalouaddict omg your boys are beautiful! That's exactly what I'd have if this was twins..

Here's my test from tonight, I looks a bit darker again, I think!?

I'm actually beginning to worry this is twins now haha

 

[Bevziibubble]

Wow, they have gone dark so quickly!
