*** August Testing Thread ***

@sweetchut Hopefully it isnt the trigger. Test again the following day and if darker would be a good sign (not trigger). Got my fingers crossed for you.

@Sammyrose334 I see what you see. I hope it gets darker for you!!
 
Good luck to everyone testing! I had a girlfriend who got a positive with her now 11m old at 8dpo! So it's possible :) And also possible to not get a positive until 11dpo or later. If I had only tested with cheapies with my daughter I wouldn't have seen a line until like 14dpo! I had clear lines on FRER at that point.

For me I am 3dpo and just waiting. I had some bad heartburn last night which was strange but did have pulled chicken with BBQ sauce so perhaps it was a little acidic. Boobs felt a bit sore sleeping overnight but that could be normal too. Not feeling confident one way or another so we shall see!
 
Thanks you guys! I took a Walgreens test just to see if the FRER was a bad batch but it seems the Walgreens test has a vvvvfl as well.. don’t want to get my hopes up. Just want this line to get darker! Ugh
 
Sorry for the bfn Cinnamon. It’s not too late though, lots of people need to wait until 12-14dpo to see a positive

Sammy I see something faint, hopefully it darkens up!

I think DH and I might miss O altogether :shrug: We’re trying out Shettles so are supposed to stop bd 2-4 days before O. The problem is my cycles are a bit irregular so my app is predicting O tomorrow (we bd on Tuesday night), but I have zero signs. Typically I see EWCM beforehand. But it’s too late to bd again now in case it is coming. So complicated lol. I bought some ovulation tests for next cycle - does anyone know how to use them when doing Shettles? I thought they only really darken up 1-2 days before O. How are you supposed to guess when 3/4 days before is? :wacko:
 
10 DPO & BFN on cheapie test.. read reviews on FRER giving evaps and indents right now!! Over 50 bad reviews saying they were all getting false positives. So pretty sure that’s what happened to me as well.

I went out and got a box yesterday. I took 3 just because lol and yes all 3 had faint lines even before they got wet! They were more visible after dipping but still grey. My cheapies were stark white.

10dpo today, didnt test as im at work but have just started my usual spotting bang on time so im pretty sure im out. (I did spot with my daughter but it was one bright red spot when i wiped and that was it, this was pink/mixed with cm which is how af starts every month. Takes a good 4 days to start).
 
Sorry @Sammyrose334 and @AlwaysTheAunt. I also find cheapies more reliable, and evaps are the worst.

I am on the seventh day of high reading of cbfm, but I'm pretty sure I already ovulated and opks are getting lighter, so I'm calling it for this month. I hereby pronounce myself 2-3 dpo :)
Let the waiting begin...
 
I got home and took a cheapie, expecting it to be stark white but i swear theres a vvvvfl?! And first response has a very clear line but i cant tell the colour?

First response i just peed 5 mins before and decided to try my luck since the cheapie i felt had something. I guess I'll know in a few days if it gets stronger or not if its a bad indent?

@AlwaysTheAunt that FR line is so clear! How many dpo are you? Praying this is your BFP O:)

I'm very confused, I usually ovulate around CD 15 with clear positive opks, but for the past few months I couldn't locate ovulation with opks, so this month I decided to use them all month around, just to see what's going on. I thought I ovulated last monday, I had the right cervical mucus and I was CD 15 but the opk wasn't positive.
Now I'm CD 20 and it's positive!! First positive I've had in months. How is this possible, why do I suddenly have such a short luteal phase? :( I'm feeling very discouraged right now
 
Hi everyone

congrats Alwaystheaunt! its clear on the frer.

i think im 14dpo no sign of af, havent test since 10dpo. there arent any frers where i am. Gonna have to do a cheapie later.

I dont have any cramps or signs of af. However, i do have creamy cm, not too sure what it means.

So strange and discouraging. How long are your cycles? Are they regular?
I hope it's just a weird cycle and you'll be able to time well despite of it. Ttc is hard enough even when it's clear when you ovulate...

I'm 10dpo :) but ive had disappearing lines on frer the last 3 months so I'm not taking it as a bfp yet. I'm praying cheapies tomorrow will have a line i might believe this might be it then. I have 1 frer to hold out until sunday i hope i can. But im terrified to test again and have no line

My cycles are usually 29-30days long. They're fairly regular although 4 months ago I had a 40 days cycle (for the first time in my life) and after that cycles came back to normal.
I'm worried there's something wrong, I'll try to book an appointment with an ob/gyn soon. We've been ttc#1 for 13 months now without success
 
Hi everyone,

I’m not great TTC, I was on the depo for just over 2 years and my 2.5 year old is still breast feeding. This is my second cycle since coming off the depo in April, the apps says I O’d on 4th so we :sex: on 29th, 2nd 4th, I’ve had no symptoms except today which it says is 9DO I have some twinges and cramps and I’m really tired but that could be because my husband has covid and I’m rushed off my feet. When would you test?
