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

[Nixnax]

BFP for sure

 

[Alligator]

Agreed bfp!

temp took a nose dive this am (13dpo) still above cover line but my symptoms have vanished so I suspect af will arrive in a few days. I didn’t even bother to test. I’ll test Saturday if af doesn’t arrive by then!

hubby and I didn’t talk or address the issue last night but he seemed in a better mood then and again this am. So, fingers crossed it was just a bad day. I also convinced him to dtd and he didn’t use protection (not my fertile time anyway haha) so that’s a good sign! I have to be more on top of initiating when it’s not that fertile time lol. Helps him feel wanted! I think we’ll go every other day after AF ends and then everyday once I get a positron OPK!

Hi ladies!

I did a IC today at 11dpo with Fmu and thought I could see a vvvvf line but couldn’t get it on camera for the life of me so I’ll just try again in a bit with a new test...

Still got sore boobs especially round the nipple area and For some reason today I can’t seem to eat I’m not mega hungry but I’ve not ate at all til now so I thought I’d better try and I’m sat forcing myself to eat strawberries but they’re just not going down! It’s making me feel a bit sicky!
hopefully that’s a good thing!xx

Can't wait to see your next test! fx!!

 

[Jft1]

@Lottielouf looking forward to your next test!

@kittykat7210 thats a definite bfp!! Amazing line!

Afm, I took a cheapie this afternoon when I got home from work. I thought I could see a squinter, first Pic is dried so out with the time frame, 2nd is at 3-5 minutes.. Thoughts?

Has anyone used evening primrose oil to increase CM? or anything else? Did I already ask that? HAHAH I am going crazy and can't remember!

 

[Jft1]

2 hour hold.. Still feel like I'm seeing lines on these. Really hope I'm not imagining it!!

I never used to get much cm or if I did it was like 5 days before o. This cycle I drank a lot of cranberry juice and took a kids vitamin and I've never had so much cm in my life (sorry tmi haha)

Im so sad and sorry u are going through this.
As u know I've had 3 chemical pregnancies in a row and its heartbroken. I just wanted to send u a massive huge hug.

Sorry ive been MIA ladies but this 3rd chemical broke me.
Im still lightly bleeding and on CD6 now.

I've had a doctors telephone appointment regarding my recurrent Misscariges.
I have to wait until my next cycle (around end of August) to have a blood test done between cd1 to 5.

Then when I'm 7 days b4 the cycle after that I have to have a second lot of bloods done.
Their fertility bloods to check hormones etc to get to the bottom if why i keep having early Misscariges.

The doctor thinks I may be going through the pre manapause,
Shes willing to do bloods to check hormones etc and im hoping its just something that can be fixed.

I really hope its not pre menopause, that is really worrying me alot.

The doctor also told me that early Ovulation is no good because the egg isn't mature enough to support a growing embryo.
So sadly for me its just a waiting game to find out what is wrong with me.

She didn't say anything about ttc but said i need to get my cycle back to normal.

A part of me wants to try again this cycle but only if I O after day 11.
With my last 2 chemicals my bleeding stopped on cd5 but im on cd6 now and still bleeding lightly.
I hope that means Ovulation will be much later.

Anyway just wanted to fill u all in.
Im not feeling as low as I was but I am very worried about this pre menopause thing.
I really hope its not that.

Thank you my friend, i really appreciate that. I am so sorry for you . I believe last cycle was an early chemical, I don't know about this one. It's possible. I am quite crampy today. Part of me wonders if I just have bad pee/bad luck with these FRER tests, maybe I always have some HCG in my body it picks up on. I have decided next cycle to not even buy FRER and only use cheapies until I get a faint line. I've got some in my cart, just waiting for AF to arrive properly and I'll hit 'buy' on Amazon! Along with EPO and some preseed. I hope the test results help and you aren't pre-menopause! You're young for it!

@Jft1 I see those lines!! ahh!

My SIL just called me to tell me they have JUST done IVF! Backstory here is my 6 year old nephew (this is hubby's sister) is an IVF baby as my BIL has had cancer twice and they struggled to conceive. They have done 4 more rounds of IVF, 3 failed transfers and one miscarriage at 11w (it was awful for my SIL, I was pregnant at the time and it was very devastating and traumatic for her). They had run out of embryos but had BILs sperm tested again and to their surprise he had more swimmers! So they did the retrieval and all that but didn't know when they wanted to proceed with the actual transfer. She's a very private person so they kept it close to but she's just called to tell me she wanted to share with some! We are close so I am so thankful she chose me to tell. They transferred two embryos given her history and she's also 36. This is their last shot as their other embryos are low quality and BIL is 50 next year, so the clock is ticking for them, and also financially it's a huge hit!

I am so excited and hopeful for them. I so wish I was pregnant this cycle, But I know I'm not (just took an IC, bfn lol...can't help myself but I'm done now, crampy and I think AF will be here in a couple days). But hopefully within the next few cycles we are successful and can have babies close in age together!

 

[Bevziibubble]

That's exciting! Fingers crossed for them!

 

[MrsKatie]

@Alligator oh wow what a journey for your SIL and BIL, I hope this round was successful!! Glad your guy is feeling better.

@Jft1 oooh I say bfp!!

@Suggerhoney so many hugs honey. Are you still nursing at all? Remind me again how many kids you have and how old they are? I doubt it’s pre menopause at your age. I bet you can dial in those hormones!

AFM, I think I’m like 4dpo maybe? Had some major family drama last night, it’s too long a story to type out but revolves around a misunderstanding about the social distancing rules right now, and it just turned into this huge thing that has me super bummed out today. Trying to shake it off and just focus on my husband and kids, but it threw me off for sure.

Make sure to let us see your next test!

Update for me: I took a test today (First Response) and got this "picture below"...it was after the time frame so who knows I am not looking to much into it, but those are definitely some dark lines for only being around 10 dpo...to be honest I don't feel pregnant nor do I feel AF coming soon. I'm just blah! I have heard these are horrible at giving you "evap" lines...but I guess we will see...I have "cheaper" HPT's coming today, so maybe I'll take one when I get home after work and see what that one says View attachment 1085778

That has to be a bfp, surely?! Such a thick line!

2 hour hold.. Still feel like I'm seeing lines on these. Really hope I'm not imagining it!!

you’re not imagining!! I see those super clearly!

Oh I really hope the ivf is successful for them!!

AFM: I’m 3dpo, and this morning when I got up I was super faint and really hot. It is super hot where we are staying with my in laws, and we aren’t used to it, and I didn’t sleep well last night so that’s probably it. Logically speaking even if I had conceived it probably wouldn’t have even implanted at 3dpo to give symptoms which I know.... but still hoping

 

[MrsKatie]

@KitteyKat2010 FRERs totally suck now but that is no evap. That’s blazing bfp!! Congratulations!!

@Lottielouf oooh can’t wait to see pics!

@Deethehippy how are you?

Sorry to hear that, family upsets leave such a heavy feeling over you all day.

 

[MrsKatie]

Omfg @doggylover i had the exact same symptoms yesterday at 3-4dpo!!! And it’s not hot here! I was just overheated and felt dizzy and weak and faint. Omg I hope it’s a good sign for us! Crazy!!!!
