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

[Reiko_ctu]

somehow I missed your bfp! Congrats!! Like @Alligator i’d love to see your tests

Well I’m not sure if it’s a BFP cause I’ve never had tests this light before, but I’m just calling it that I’ll be elated if it sticks but also feeling super guilty because we agreed to be done and my husband definitely doesn’t want anymore. I know he will adjust and love this baby... we’re Christians and both totally believe that children are a blessing and that God is in control. Still though I’ve got this pit in my stomach about telling him once my lines are convincing enough.

3dpo
Could it get more boring? Lol

 

[Reiko_ctu]

@Reiko_ctu I see lines. Not sure how many dpo you but FX they get darker and darker!!!

I was really bad at charting this month and don’t really have a definitive O date... I think I must have O’d early because we used protection once AF was done... I think this is 11 or 12 dpo according to ewcm... and I usually get lines like this at 8-9dpo in my previous pregnancies! I only have one test left... will I be able to hold out till tomorrow FMU? Or a 4 hr hold tonight

Well still no sign of my trigger fading any day soon.

Gosh that line is still strong. Hope it fades ASAP.

These were from 10am, mid day urine not super concentrated...View attachment 1086307View attachment 1086308

Very clear! I’m sure your husband will be delighted, once he gets his head around the surprise!

@LuvallmyH so true. Days 1-6 dpo are the worst imo!!!

Hi all

Kksby thank you for thinking of me!

I still haven't had a positive opk or smiley face
The darkest test I have had so far was the evening of the 17th and I had lots of ewcm from about the 15th-18th.
So we did do insems the 15th and 17th to be safe.

But the tests seem to be looking darker again today!!

I have a pelvic ultrasound scan today at 2:40pm because I convinced my GP to check me for PCOS haha. I'm praying they'll be able to tell me if I have alresdy ovulated or if it looks like I'm going to?! But it's not a proper fertility scan so maybe not.

So I could either be 2dpo or still waiting.. watch this space and send me some love. I was so upset and wound up about it last night I cried. This is not healthy for us!

Hugs to you all

They will definitely be able to tell if you ovulated because they will be checking out your ovaries. You may have to actually ask the technician because they aren’t always very talkative and either tell you nothing at all or only tell you about the main thing you’re there for lol

@Deethehippy EXACT same thing going on with my chart. I think zero increase in the last 2-3 days. To be fair I’m not waking at the same time now and I’ve woken up very cold (some weird cold front came through and we still had a fan on.. and I’m a mouth breather soo there’s that!) I keep thinking I didn’t actually ovulate but... I think I did? This is a strange cycle for me. I guess I will find out one way or another huh?

I think the batteries are a bit low on my thermometer so maybe that affects it? It wouldn’t even beep when I tried this afternoon. Must get OH to change them for me and see if it makes any difference. I don’t think the temperatures are an exact science but would be nice to see an increase or an implantation dip. Good luck to you x

6dpo still having headaches.
Had some pains in overies.
And feeling really hot.
Temp was 37.02 again today.
Been feeling drained and haven't had much energy.
My skin is itchy.
Feeling out

 

[Reiko_ctu]

Sugger that’s a high temp! Your progesterone must be raging!!

 

[Stargirl1993]

Need some advice: I haven't gotten a period since July 13th, I have irregular cycles and we are taking the "go with the flow" approach....so my question would be is, since I have gotten my period and it will be 6 weeks this upcoming Monday, should I call the doctor or just go with the flow and see what happens.

A look back at this cycle, it was normal....I don't feel different at all, nor do I feel AF is coming (usually I get crampy the day before), I have had crampy days but AF still didn't show up.

At this point I would love for AF to come so I can go for the next cycle

Is there any chance I could still be pregnant, and not show a positive yet!

If I’m honest I would call the doctor and tell them the situation x

You could have faild ovulation and your body is trying again!! Good luck!! x

Hi everyone! Nothing new to report here really - just going through the motions. Have counseling with hubby tomorrow. Hoping it goes well. It's stupid hot where I live and I'm over it. bring on fall!hehehe

Hope everything goes well with counselling tomorrow and you and hubby get on track x

5dpo and feel nothing. I already feel out. I have horrendous back and shoulder pain even though I’ve been in the pool for 2 hours

hopefully it’s just to early! good luck!! x

that’s a lovely high temp! so excited for you I really hope you get your bfp ! x good luck!!

I am sooo tired and my nipples and boobs hurt. I know it can’t be a symptom at 5 dpo but why does post O symptoms have to feel so like what you expect from a pregnancy? My body is torturing me.

Also anyone who does charts... do my temps all look too low so far? there was no increase today at all.

View attachment 1086293

I think your chart looks lovely and you can see the temp shift! Your temps are really stable I really hope you get your bfp this month!! x good luck!! .



I really hope I haven’t forgotten to reply to anyone this thread moves really fast and I’m still getting use to how to use this forum

I had my ultrasound. I love having a good look at my organs

Everything is totally healthy and normal. My right ovary was active with several good looking follicles. My left a bit more sleepy with 2 or 3 follicles visible but that one was harder for her to see.
My lining is currently 4mm thick and she didn't think I'd ovulated yet, but I don't have a dominant follicle so I'm not just about to either.

So looks like good things are happening and my LH is definitely on the up looking at the tests. Just praying it's my turn to ov soon, after 5 months of waiting

I think I'll wait a bit easier now though, I was so scared something was wrong before which made it harder.

Suger - you are not out at 5dpo! I don't have any symptoms in the tww when I'm actually pregnant haha. My symptoms usually wait till about 7 weeks then hit me like a freight train. Good luck x

glad everything went well @Mummafrog! Xx

 

[Stargirl1993]

My temps seem abit up and down not sure if it’s because I wasn’t consistent with times the few times after ovulation but I think my charts looking okay. I’m hoping to have gone back to my 25 day cycles after my miscarriage in June x

 

[PinkCupcakes]

So me and OH just BDed and I’m having the worst pressure full pain in my abdomen, thought maybe at first I had to poo but nothing just pressure and pain! Ugh. Ouch!!!

 

[KitteyKat2010]

Good evening ladies,

I talked to my ob-gyn and they aren't really too concerned. Since I do have irregular cycles (when I'm off birth control, which I just recently came off)...my cycles have been out of whack, I'm sure that it will take a while and who knows maybe a surprise BFP will be in store for us. My last three cycles have been: June 17, June 26, July 13, I guess we will see what happens. I really don't think I could take my temp once I start a new cycle...just because I don't sleep very well (with the toddler waking up, schoolwork, and chores!) I don't sleep much!!! My life will start to get busier next week, when I start college courses (9 credits)...so I'm sure my mind will be somewhat off of getting pregnant (hopefully!). As far as testing again for a BFP, I might wait until next week sometime

 

[tropicsgirl]

Tropicsgirl I think you should talk to your dr about mid-cycle bleeding - has it happened before? Could it be an anovulatory cycle that’s just short? What CD are you on?

stargirl can’t wait to see your test!

alligator GL with the counselling! Good on you guys for working on things. We have done counselling a few one offs over the years and it always helps!!

afm, test is the same today! Colour in person but barely anything on the pic! Haven’t really ever paid attention to darkening tests, usually just one and done but want to get a good solid result before breaking the news to DH... did call my midwife and get on with their practice with a due date of April 30. So hopefully this baby bean sticks around

I am on CD 15. I have to admit my last AF was weird. It only lasted 4 days and was not very heavy at all. Normally AF last 6 days and is heavier. I’m bleeding quite a bit more now..looks like full blow AF...but I’m not expecting AF to arrive until around sept. 5th.

I’m actually have an appointment with my doctor early next month, for a different reason but I’ll definitely bring this up. This has only happened once since I got off BC though so I’m wondering if it was just an anovulatory cycle.

Congrats on the positive - how exciting! Hope it gets darker for you!

 

[Stargirl1993]

BFN I had a idea that would be the case absolutely gutted

my temp is still up but that’s about it! Have a feeling I’m out anyways

 

[Nixnax]

@Stargirl1993 its still early yet, wishing you luck

 

[Deethehippy]

Stargirl1993 - 8 dpo is very early for a positive, you still have time! I know you got one that early before but maybe you ovulated earlier than you thought that time and ever pregnancy is different!

Tropicsgirl - I hope that your new cycle will be a more regular one. Sometimes we can just get a few wonky ones here and there.

Pinkcupcakes - do you get irritable bowel at all? Mine can flare up after BD (sorry TMI) hope the discomfort goes away soon.

I’m 6 dpo today and a temp drop..not enough for a implantation dip and too early for AF. Must change the batteries in my thermometer. Not feeling it this month tbh but know it’s still early.
