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

Luv - until you get a strong line on a standard test digis are useless. Not saying you are wrong but it was too early for a digi in my opinion whatever the type. Hope today’s tests look darker and there’s still a chance.

Bump - I’m so sorry, it’s devastating to get lines that then go..it’s the worse cruel thing.

3girlies - I’m so sorry life is dealing you some rubbish right now. Take a break and love that puppy but please come back and join us when you feel ready, we are here for you.

Sugger - sorry you are in so much pain. As if CD1 isn’t bad enough without added pain and IBS. My IBS always flares with AF too but usually a few days in when I am at my heaviest. Hope the pains don’t last too long for you ..it’s horrible.

Alligator - I hope you can join us to NTNP. I know how much you want another babe, who cares what other people think..we get one life...we have to do what’s right for us.

Sorry for all the AF’s and all the heartaches in this group. It’s just so hard month after month.
I’ll be joining the September group once AF has finished...it’s not gotten going properly yet but mine takes a few days and is heaviest in the middle.
I have ordered COQ10 to try this cycle, just a low dose. Trying to get OH to take it too because good for sperm and egg. I’m not giving up yet..I said I’d keep going until I was 47 so will stick to that for now.

Negative digi, but this is the weeks estimator. It’s more sensitive. I have to just let it go at this point. Such light lines, inconsistent & little progression. It’s breaking me. I can’t have any hope anymore.
Af is due Tuesday. Last cycle the cp delayed it by 4 days.

The clear blue indicator tests are 25miu. In the UK they are anyway. Fx it's too early xx

Well bleeding has intensified , and test this morning was lighter so I guess I’m out. I don’t know that I will be back next month. We’ve been through 2 chemicals and a miscarriage over this last year of trying and I don’t think I can take this emotional rollercoaster anymore . Good luck to all of you and thank you all for all the encouragement !!

Oh gosh Dee Dee is absolutely the worst. Im still doubled over now. I've not slept all night because of the pain.
Cd2 and AF is very heavy now.
I have zero energy and all I want to do is curl up with a book with a hot water bottle.
Urghhh.
Just wish the silly wud bugger off on a 9 month vacation.
I'd gladly pack her bags for her hahaha.

Oh no sweetheart I am so sorry.
It truly is horrible.
I think my last chemical really hit me hard becuase it was the 3rd one in a row but I found once I got AF out the way and O came close I started to feel that teeny weeny bit of hope.
Sending u some huge hugs hon.
Life really can be very very cruel sometimes.

@LuvallmyH I'm so sorry Luv

@Bump288 oh bump, i am so so sorry hun. I can't imagine so many losses over the last year. Take whatever break your heart and body need

@Suggerhoney I'm glad AF finally showed for you so that you can get your blood work done. Ugh, I just saw that you've been having all the bad cramping....how are you feeling today?

@PinkCupcakes

@DuckyBlue

@Stargirl1993 i swear that when you're pregnant there is a big part of you that just wants to be sick for 3 months LOL. I'm glad it's going so well so far and hope that you are able to get an early scan in a few weeks!

@topazicatzbet There is still time hun! FX that your LP is longer...I also have an 11 day LP. It used to be 14 but in the last year has changed to 11.

@Becca_89 wahoo!! a big congratulations!!!

@Deethehippy

@doggylover thank you for the well wishes So excited for you and your journey!! wishing you a very happy and healthy 9 months

@Hevalouaddict i'm so sorry

@3 girlies that's so frustrating, I'm sorry. I hope next cycle brings you your bfp Totally understand needing to take a break from here

@tbfromlv

@Stargirl1993 thank you for sharing the article!

@Alligator you and your DH are the only ones that get to speak into your lives and your decisions. Others may not understand but just ignore their opinions. Best of luck to you!!

------------------
I will be on and off of here today to keep up with the updates and of course if you all want to keep posting into September, I'll keep replying! Thank you all for letting me host this month- it's been so nice getting to cheer you on in your journeys!

The biggest congratulations again to our ladies with BFPs- I wish you all the best for the next 9 months!

I am so sorry for the ladies who had CPs this month- I wish I could reach through the computer to give you a hug.

And for those of us still in the hunt, I hope and pray that our bfps are just over the horizon!

AFM, CD 16 today- no signs of ovulating. Temps are showing more of an anovulatory pattern (flat). I have a 26 day cycle so unless I surge and ovulate today, I think I'm already out for this month because I'll wind up under 10 days in my LP (my period comes cd26 no matter when I ovulate it seems). It's so freaking frustrating. This month I was supposed to ovulate over the weekend, which made things way easier for DH and I to be together. He works 12-16 hour days during the week, has several nights he will work late either at the office or at home. So during the week he is just TIRED by the time the kids are in bed and we have a chance to be together. Next cycle I'm set to ovulate on a Friday so would be BD'ing during the week...sigh.He's been so supportive and sweet though. Today he texted me asking about my temps and checking in on how I was doing. And had said he needs to work late but can come home so we can try again tonight and then just work in our home office. I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful and caring partner.

I'm probably going to call my doctor after this cycle to see if there is anything she recommends to help lengthen my LP and ask for blood work to be done to test AMH levels etc. I just don't want to spend the next few months trying if there is something I can be doing now to help. If blood work comes back okay, then we will keep trying to the 6 month mark and I'll ask for more testing. I know I'm under 35 (33) but my cycles have changed so much in the last year and I would rather find out any issues sooner than later.

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday and start to your week!!

 

[Alligator]

Good luck ladies - hope to see many of you into September

I’m officially confused ... 14 dpo got a nice line on FRER , then later that day started bleeding, 15 dpo got a barely there line (assumed it was a chemical cuz I was still bleeding). This morning 16 dpo I’m still bleeding but my line is back !!!!!! I have an appt Thur with my OB but I’m soooo confused !!!

Top pick 14 dpo , bottom 2 16 dpo ... couldn’t even image my 15 dpo because it was too light

Good luck with your appointment, They'll probably monitor your blood to rule out an ectopic.

You could have just ovulated later than you thought and the bleed was an implantation bleed, fingers crossed your lines progress from here

 

[Bevziibubble]

Good luck for your appointment

 

[Deethehippy]

Bump - good luck at your appointment, I don't trust FRER's ..I won't buy them.

 

[kksy9b]

@Bump288 Oh wow...I can't imagine the rollercoaster of emotions you must be going through. Did you test today? How do they look? Praying that Thursday comes quickly for you with some good and encouraging news. Please keep us updated!

 

[Suggerhoney]

Hi ladies
I've had my first lot of bloodtest done today and sadly the nurse said I can't try this cycle so thats me done now.
Will be back trying in December.
I wish u all luck with ure journey and hope there will be many more BFPs.

Will prob still pop into the testing threads to will u all on but I really think I need to give me body a good rest.
Get the rest of these bloods done and then hopfully I will be back in the 2ww sometime In December.

Congratulations to all the ladies that got there BFPs

And sorry to all those like me
that the
Got again.

Thanks for all being such a great support over these past 6 months.
Don't know what I wud of done without u ladies.

Hopfully I can get to the bottom of why I've been having recurring Misscariges and hopfully I will be able to try again soon and with giving my body a break and a rest will give us a better chance of having a viable pregnancy in the future.

i am still getting positives as of today and last night on several different kinds of tests. Still faint lines but they were never dark to begin with lol. Hoping I’m just one of those that is in the low end of hcg for how far along I am lol.

Hopfullly in the next few days ure tests will develop and get darker.
I have it all fxed for you

 

[kksy9b]

@Suggerhoney I'm sorry you aren't able to try one more cycle before taking a break. I think it will be good though to get all the testing done and hopefully get to the bottom of the miscarriages so that when you come back in December you will get your sticky forever baby

 

[kksy9b]

@Bump288 how did your appointment go today? Thinking of you

 

[Bevziibubble]

I hope your appointment went well
