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

[Mummafrog]

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

Hopefully it can be difficult to remember what is a normal AF symptom, because I never pay much attention to that, lol!

@doggylover congratulations on your pregnancy!! Hooray for #4!

Thank you! I know what you mean, I never pay any attention to the nuances before af. I know I get bad skin and that’s it! I actually logged everything this tww in my app just so I would know for the future what was normal and what wasn’t.

Hehe I am old so I often need to pee more but hopefully it means something

you’d think you were about 80 saying that!!!

Well the only regular cycles I have had were on birth control...when I'm off birth control they are irregular...I have no idea if I even ovulated or nothing. I think like you mentioned I am going to ride it out, maybe I ovulated later...I guess we will just see what happens

Sounds just like my cycle. Completely screwed up! If it goes on too long then definitely get checked. I once had a 10 week cycle so got some bloods done (af arrived the next day )

Hey everyone. I'm just dropping by gosh this thread moves so fast it's hard to keep up. 1dpo here, there was me saying we wont try this month, that went out the window haha.

@Mummafrog I hope you get an answer soon!! That sounds frustrating.

Ugh so I’m 5DPT and 4DPO today and I’m constipated bad and gassy and extremely dizzy! Anyone get these symptoms with ovidrel?

edit: now it’s diarrhea ugh

I had exactly that today! - constipated first thing (I always go first thing) and now going lots this afternoon! Maybe it's just common at this stage of TWW?

I have af like cramps! I started off with some mild cramping last night it felt like it was in my back and it’s the same this morning! Agh.. I guess there’s always next cycle!

I had those all yesterday... totally felt like AF was on its way, quite strong too... I don’t think you’re out at all!!

Last night I was going to clean my bathroom, and it smelled so bad in there I almost threw up. I asked my husband to check it out and he couldn't smell anything. Very suspicious!! I'll test tmrw morning (10dpo)! I also have a headache this morning. During my last pregnancy I was nauseated the entire 38weeks and had migraines constantly. I hope that these horrible symptoms are not for nothing lol

Oh that’s a super good sign. My last pregnancy that was my first sign... sense of smell went out of control. I’ve had Covid since and lost my sense of smell almost completely... sad but it might make the pregnancy a bit more bearable!

Kittykat you should start charting/temping if you’re not sure what’s going on. Super helpful if you end up going to a specialist to have those on hand.

Thats the only thing I had before my BFP, back aches. Good luck

Thankyou x i might take a test tomorrow with my last pregnancy I got a very light positive at 8dpo. I don’t have much hope I don’t feel pregnant in my heart I think it will be negative x

 

[Bevziibubble]

Good luck for testing

Sorry I’ve been MIA. Life’s been busy but I have been reading all your posts! I woke up to a fair amount of bleeding today which included a few very small clots. I have been using OPKs and according to them I have not ovulated yet, but I should soon. I’m concerned because this is not just spotting - it resembles my actual period. Makes me feel like something is wrong with my body.. I will see what happens later today and see if it goes away. I could understand very minor bleeding, but not this!

 

[PinkCupcakes]

Found this tidbit interesting! I had my HSG test before ovulation this cycle!

 

[Becca_89]

Can I please change my test date to 27th? I will be 7/8 dpo then, so still early. 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

 

[Bevziibubble]

I hope that the counselling goes well

Sending you lots of love for counselling. I hope it goes well.

the weather here sucks at the minute. Apart from a few hours this morning it’s rained for 3 days straight. I also can’t wait for autumn. At least it’s supposed to rain then!

 

[autumnal]

@Reiko_ctu I am very sorry to hear you got covid and lost your sense of smell. That must have been very weird and scary!!

@Stargirl1993 good luck with your testing!

 

[Deethehippy]

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.

 

[topazicatzbet]

My ovulation is settling down after my mmc and I just ovulated. My lp has been short since the mc too so I ll be testing around the 30th. Not expecting anything though as we had limited bd.

 

[Reiko_ctu]

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

 

[Alligator]

Do you have pics of the test @Reiko_ctu ?? Good luck!

@Deethehippy progesterone is the worst for symptom spotting. It made me crazy the last two cycles.
