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

Bfn for me I know it's still early but it's still rubbish

Hi ladies, please can I join?

I've just come off the mini pill to TTC after a miscarriage in February. My pill pack ended mid-cycle so I think it's very unlikely we'll catch that egg (if there was one!) this month but I'm still classing myself as being in TWW territory and not drinking etc just in case!

I have PCOS so my periods aren't like clockwork, but they've been fairly regular since the miscarriage and my next one is due sometime around 7th August, so I've decided that if it doesn't show, I'll test on the 8th.

I have had some breast tenderness last night and this morning but I'm trying not to get too caught up in symptom-spotting as I don't want to be disappointed if it turns out to be nothing!

I hope August will be a lucky month for lots of us

I remember you rebaby. Good luck xx

Aww, thank you. It's nice to be remembered! I used be on here all the time when my boys were tiny! Sorry to hear about your bfn

@elencor welcome and good luck!! It only takes one and hoping that you caught that eggie!! How many DPO will you be when you start testing?

Thank you! I want to start 9 dpo. What is the earliest a test can go positive? (Even if it's 1 in 1000") Because I feel like start testing now lol but I'm just 5DPO

 

[doggylover]

9dpo for me today. It's really dragging. More cheapies should come today but I'm not feeling hopeful anymore im miserable. My kids all had a late night last night so I'm sat in bed with a cup of tea & buttery toast enjoying the peace

sounds amazing! Buttery toast is the best - my husband hates butter! He’s missing out on so much! So sorry about bfn, lets hope that changes ASAP.

I’m so sorry about your loss. Hopefully it won’t be long until that bfp appears.

AFM: feeling very emotional today. We’ve just got guidance through about the kids returning to school. My son is starting school this year and he had a hard time settling in to preschool. Cried every morning for months - only stopped for 6 weeks then covid shut the schools!!! So I’m sure we are in for a hard start back with him. I’m hoping the lack of indoor space will mean lots of outdoor play though? Fingers crossed.

It's so hard when kiddies cry when they go into school...makes you feel wretched all day and I'm sure they are fine once you are gone! My first two were both like that esp at pre-school. One time the teacher had to hold my son down to stop my son from running after me...it destroyed me at the time. Luckily with my twins they have always been fine but I think that it different for them because they have each other. The Covid just adds extra stress to the situation. Things could change again before September at this rate so I try not to look too far ahead at the moment. Hopefully things will go better than you think xx

Our school has said children have to attend wearing their pe kits on days they have p.e so 2 days a week & remain in it all day. Which is great until they are sweaty lol

Oh @3 girlies thats gross!! Understandable but gross lol.

7/8dpo and I caved and tested and of course bfn. I think it’s more likely I’m 7dpo so duh, negative. I didn’t get a faint positive (on an FRER no less) until 10dpo with my daughter!

I did have a weird dream! I dreamt I went back in time, almost, to when my daughter was a newborn. She was laying on a cot/stroller with other babies and she had spit up a bit (she spat up so much lol) and I got to pick her up and just hold her tiny self again. I cried in my dream remembering how perfect she was (still is!) as a newborn. It was so special. I hope it’s a sign!

I think this could be it for you. (FMU is crap) Can't wait to see more tests

I was going to get a frer for tomorrow but it's too hot for me today I struggle in the heat so will just keep using the cheapies for now. Really crampy again it's been bad since about 5dpo I'm hoping that's not a bad sign.

Lots of ladies get early cramping...it's just the bean snuggling in tight hopefully.

My eldest was always fine starting, but my son is a different breed. He talks a good game about how much he will love it, and he does enjoy the time there, but that leaving off is hard.

Ours will be similar I think. They said they’ll let us know closer to the time.
