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

[DuckyBlue]

Thank you! Why does the TWW always seem so long?!! Not getting hopes up too much, as we've been very disappointed many times, but I do have some symptoms I don't usually get at this part of my cycle. I'm currently on cycle day 19, and am feeling really bloated! The past few days I've felt sick in the evenings (but the weather has been crazy so it could be that!) and I've had a couple of dizzy spells. I'm also a little constipated (TMI) and have really bad acid reflux! I've also been extremely tired, but that might also be the weather I've had a couple of headaches - though less often and less intense than usual - and my skin is so much better than usual! But at this point in my cycle those things are all unusual. However, last time I had unusual symptoms during my cycle it ended up being an incredibly long cycle - I gave up counting after 70 days and can't be bothered to check my app right now to find out the exact number - so am not getting too excited yet!

One thing I wanted to check quickly is I've also been quite itchy, you know down there, which is also unsual for me. There's no discharge or anything. Usually I get an itch a day or two before my period starts, and it doesn't last long, but this itch has been on and off for days! It's very annoying and I have no idea how to soothe it. Actually thinking about it I've been itchy all over. My partner popped to the chemist earlier and they said if necessary I could take Loratadine or Cetirizine, but I'm a little reluctant to take anything OTC without speaking to my doctor first. I think my partner forgot to ask the pharmacy about something for the itch down there, but if it continues I guess I'll have to phone the doctor for advice, although our surgery is still closed for appointments at the moment!

Anyway, good luck everyone!!

@Suggerhoney oh lovely, I’m so sorry. Here’s hoping it’s an anomaly and it’s back up tomorrow.

@DuckyBlue good luck! Hope your tww isn’t too long and draining .

Hi ladies - I took the weekend off so I've just caught up!

@Nixnax eeeekkkk I see those lines and I'm so thrilled for you! Did you take the digital yet? Can't wait to see. Love the ticker!

@Deethehippy hope the tww goes quickly for you. It's always such a drag.

@Suggerhoney I bet your temp drop was due to crappy sleep! I wouldn't stress too much. Temping is great but honestly I found it so much harder this second time around with a toddler waking me up, and I just don't sleep as well as before I had my daughter. More broken sleep even if she's sleeping well. I would go by your other signs for sure, and say O was CD13. Our temps can fluctuate for loads of reasons, so try not to stress too much. Easier said than done I know.

@MrsKatie how are you feeling?!

I know I've missed loads of people but know that I'm thinking of all of you who AF got and praying for more bfp. This thread seems lucky!

For me - hubby and I are still working through things, slowly. My daughter and I are staying with my parents for a short time. He's come around a bit and we will see how things go.

I'm also starting to feel sad about not ttc this month or perhaps for a few months. I had my heart set on another babe, and I know it can still happen but waiting sucks! I know we need to get our relationship on track first and also put our finances in better order (I have a plan for that!). there's never a perfect time to have a baby.

Morning ladies pretty sure I’m 2DPO today and I am also 3DPT, here’s my tests for testing out the trigger for today.

Edit: no signs of the HPT fading yet... ugh!

 

[Bevziibubble]

Fx for you

 

[doggylover]

Whoa @PinkCupcakes they are still very dark! Let’s hope they fade ASAP.... then come back again

@Alligator I can’t imagine how hard it is having to put this on hold, even though your sensible head says it’s maybe not the right tims, the heart wants what it wants.

Do they tell you when they would expect the trigger to test out or does it vary from woman to woman? Wishing you so much luck this TWW

You’re right..there’s never a perfect time to have a baby..you just have to make things work around your life at that time. I really hope you can get back to TTC soon and sending you strength in the meantime x

I think I’m 3dpo (I never got a positive but it probably happened early hours and I missed it as I had dark tests just before) I don’t think this is our month as we only managed to DTD once and that was 2 days before predicted OV. I’m just so tired after work that I don’t want to do anything. I have tomorrow off thankfully so I can rest.

We are the same then and I didn't BD as much as I could have either because I had tummy ache (IBS) Hope you have a good day off tomorrow.

1 dpo for me. The most boring part of the tww. I’m not in a rush to pass the time though. A lot chances as September comes closer. School and college for my kids. I want to enjoy them home as much as I can before the chaos starts and 2 of them leave.

Okay TTC mommas! Its been a stressful weekend. O happened last week 8/11-8/12) positive opk(i think i never ised one before) on wednesday 8/12. (CD 15/16) so here i am on 8/16 and 8/17 feeling minor cramps in my right pelvic area. Im super tired but thats about all. Ive been checking my cm and this is today (8 days before af is due) does this look like a good sign to anyone?!?!

 

[Stargirl1993]

OK so just put in a random high temp for tommorow and it gave me cross hairs for day 13 again so let's hope my temp will be alot higher tommorow

Fingers crossed and babydust to those still waiting


Sorry to those who got AF


I posted before about my ovulation tests-

these are them ranging from Thursday onwards, do you think I missed the peak?
I have had very little Egg white discharge this month, but had some.
I had lots of pains Saturday- which would of been cycle day 14.

thanks xxx

[autumnal]

Last night I thought AF was gonna start any minute but now I feel pretty normal again, it's quite odd! Well I'll take it! Hopefully I am not out! Fx for the rest of you ladies waiting with me

 

[PinkCupcakes]

Do they tell you when they would expect the trigger to test out or does it vary from woman to woman? Wishing you so much luck this TWW

I was told to test at 14DPO, so that’s around the 27th for me, she said if it’s not positive still or again by the 30th to stop progesterone.
