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

@Alligator I see that for sure. Good luck

@kksy9b opks are still not quite positive, but we AI'd anyway. I think it'll be positive tomorrow. Mind you I said that yesterday . Tonight is bonus night

Good luck everyone waiting to test.

I’ve just had my first day back at work. Hopefully I can lose the weight I’ve gained and see if that helps. I’ve told my boss we should walk her dogs at our local hilly spot in the morning then I have 2 hours a night swimming. I’m tired now, CD 3 and ready for a good sleep. This is Brayton Barff, 5 minute drive from my bosses house and a proper trek to walk as it’s all hills and wooded land.

@Alligator I see a line even without the tweaks! And it can take 48-72 hours to double. So in another 1-2 days you should have some nice comparisons!

AFM, I just took an OPK and my LH surge is starting! Not quite positive yet but it's nearly there and will test every 4 hours through the rest of the day!! CB is still giving me high and not peak...but it's my first month using these so my assumption is that I wouldn't see peak until I also see a positive OPK on my cheapies? I'm not sure! We DTD on Saturday, not yesterday but will today and tomorrow (and Wednesday too if ovulation holds off an extra day). I am feeling really really good about this cycle. Super relaxed and hopeful. Before each of my last pregnancies I felt really similar. I just KNEW when I would fall when we started trying and was right with both of them. I know that's not scientific but it's helping me not be anxious or stressed at all right now so I'll take it!

Hopefully your sixth sense is right this cycle!

Sorry about af! Hope the next couple weeks fly by for you! And thank you, I’m not ready to call it yet until I get a good, obvious line in person. I hope tomorrow but I’m just a mess of worry and anxiety given last cycle and disappearing lines. Feel like I can’t trust my eyes!

@Bre1990 Sorry, I missed your post earlier! Wahoo for having the IUI done!! Sending swimming thoughts your way!!

 

[MrsKatie]

@kksy9b yay good luck!!

@Alligator if I got that line I’d be very excited. Fx for progression!

@Deethehippy how are you?

@Suggerhoney thinking of you

@3 girlies good luck for this cycle!

hi to anyone I missed!

AFM, CD17 and was INSANELY crampy yesterday and day before with lots of ewcm. Late last night I felt a sharp stabby pain on the right side so maybe ovulation? CM has dried up today and no cramps whatsoever so I’ll count today as 1dpo. Managed to DTD cd 10, 13, 16 even though we aren’t home so I am hopeful. We get home at 9dpo (if I’m right about ovulation) and I’ll test then.

fx everyone!

Thank you! I don’t know why I’m so anxious I think due to last cycle and disappearing lines. I’m a mess! Haha.
Hope you caught the egg and are having a nice time! A great distraction for sure.

Sounds like a lovely time, mrskatie!

So excited for tomorrow's test, Alli!

Afm, I had no appetite today, took 2 bites of my lunch and pushed it away. It's now past 7 pm, shaking nausea and a big headache. I tried to eat something light, but couldn't keep it down. I'm also burping like crazy.

Early bed for me tonight I think!

Oh gosh I hope it means good things, doesn’t sound fun!

Fingers crossed it's a symptom!

 

[tropicsgirl]

Took a test today and BFN, but was expecting that since we didn’t get much “personal” time this month living with the parents for 3 weeks. Also DTD last night and saw pink blood. AF is supposed to start by Friday, so I think it’s coming a bit early. On to another cycle I guess.

Is anyone convinced that getting in shape/eating healthier helped you conceive? I’m not really overweight but have put on 30 lbs in the last 2 years. I’m hoping more exercise and eating healthier will help...just have to motivate myself...hah.

Sorry af is horrid. Fingers crossed you donT have to deal with it again for a while after this cycle!

I’m 1dpo today as well. It’s great being away (I am too!) and no ability to test until you get home, takes away all the temptation!

Sorry about bfn. They do say having a good diet and staying fit and healthy can help with TTC. Nothing to lose by trying it out! I’m about 20lbs heavier than when I got pregnant with my first 7 years ago. With each baby more weight has just stayed on. It’s not a pretty sight anymore

AF got me

3 days early but I'm not surprised, I have felt a bit pre menstrual the last couple of days and woke up at 6 this morning with cramps, went to the bathroom and bam, there she was

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed but at the same time, I know our odds of catching this month were very very low having only stopped the mini pill half way through the cycle so in a way it's a relief for AF to show on time (ish) so we can get on with our first proper cycle TTC and hope for an early September just in time for our original due date.

Good luck to all of you waiting to test and I hope those of you with faint lines see some good progression over the next few days

And I'll maybe some of you over on the September testing thread x

 

[elencor]

9 dpo here, I see kind of a shadow if I look really hard, but might be just me being crazy, my husband doesn't see it. I'm very confused, and can't test again until Friday because of being with my in-laws lolhttps://IMG_20200804_102115.jpg

 

[amaibee]

Ladies- I have tested today but I don't know what an evap looks like as never had one before. My DD is 10 next month and all her tests were unequivocally pos. We have been trying for YEARS. Is there anywhere someone could give me some help? Sorry if this isn't the place

Can you post a picture?

 

[amaibee]

Oh yeah, sorry it's a squinter but the line is pink. I did two of these tests and a blue dye one, pics are two diff tests . All had faint lines ‍

 

[amaibee]

Also, I've got FMU in a cup . There is a digital test on the way, is it ok to use that still? From a couple hours ago lol. Sorry, TMI!! I feel new to all of this
