Calling all July testers!!!

[DueSeptember]

I will join...I am on AF now but will test July 20th..I am getting married July 11th..We lost a baby in 2011 I would really love a BFP soon!!!

 

[travelgurl]

I would like to join as well. Just waiting for ovulation this week and could be testing roughly July 9th. October would have been my due month as well.
Good luck ladies!

 

[Trying4first1]

Welcome ladies! So sorry for both of your losses. Fingers crossed for u both xx

I'm trying to hold off testing until July 2nd, which should be 15 dpo. It's going to be a struggle not to test early though. I tell myself every month that I'm not going to test early but after 10 dpo there's just not telling when I'll cave in. I don't know why either, because I didn't get a bfp last time until 16dpo. No will power....

 

[Trying4first1]

Haha. Dandi you sound just like me! Same as you with bfp too. Both of my angel babies didn't show up until 15dpo. I really feel like I need to challenge myself this month not to do it. Tbh fed up of seeing bfn and wasting tests! I'm only 5dpo so no temptation yet

 

[MommyOnMyMind]

Okay so I have been absent for a while. This is the first month I think I might have ovulated. Before the miscarriage I knew exactly when I was ovulating and since then I'm just not sure I am. So we have been extremely busy I have been working 13 hours daily for the last week and both of us have been mentally and physically exhausted this month. We signed on a house and are moving in the next couple months.

We BARELY were able to try this month so there is a small chance this is our month. We had a lot of healing this month emotionally and have actually decided to put the baby planning on the back burner and work on other areas of our lives. We're just not going to continue to countdown days and worry over it and just see what happens which will probably mean this is my last month testing so much.

That being said, I will still be testing this month July 4th as I still have a small chance of my positive. So I wish luck to everyone and I will check back in, in hopes of all of your positives!!

Back on a new thread. Due AF on the 23rd July(day after I'm due back at work after maternity leave) I'm still not sure if I'm ovulating- been getting positive opks but this month I'm going to start temping again and will get bloods done next month if no luck this month. Man I hate being here- wish I had my gorgeous little boy snoozing in my arms. Life can be so unfair sometimes but I guess we all know that x

 

[Trying4first1]

Hi Thumpette! Welcome to the new thread. Life is very unfair as we all know. Temping may be good as you can confirm ovulation. I started temping for the first time this month and was good to see when ovulation actually occurred. I also still used the ov sticks to pick up my surge. Let's hope July is a good month for us all xx

 

[Trying4first1]

Hi everyone! Well 9dpo here any nothing to report. AF is due between Tuesday- Saturday so will only test then if she doesn't arrive. So far everything feels like a normal month. Been getting a few mild cramps today down in the pelvis but have had these with both PG and AF cycles so there is no telling. Got the normal tender breasts too and creamy CM. A positive test is the only way I have ever know I'm pregnant as the symptoms are the same for me xx

 

[Dandi]

I really was trying to hold off until July 2 to test, but I'm spotting today at 11dpo. Same kind of spotting I had at 10 dpo when I got pregnant in January. Trying not to get my hopes up, but I'm so hoping its implantation bleeding. I'm going to try to stay strong, but I may cave and test tomorrow. Although I doubt anything would show up even if I were pregnant if I just got IB today.

 

[Trying4first1]

Hi Dandi! Ohhh fingers crossed for you!!! It's hard to know what to believe isn't it. This all messes with our heads so much as its all a big guessing game. Def hold off if you can incase it is IB. It def would t show up on a test yet. You had any other symptoms? X

 

[Dandi]

Yes, I've had cramping, some heartburn, twinge type pains in my boobs, etc... but I had those same symptoms last month with a bfn. So I guess my cycle is just still unpredictable post mc. This is the first spotting I've had like this since my pregnancy though, so who knows. Im hopeful, but not overly so.

 

[Trying4first1]

This is the thing as the symptoms are the same I find. I could never tell when I was pregnant as felt like AF was on her way. Symptoms the same this month again just really bad breast pain if I lift up my arms, but this can be normal for AF. Really hoping your spotting is a good sign! Maybe a FRER test at 13dpo would show up? Def keep us all updated!

 

[travelgurl]

I'm a little confused this month. Who am I kidding, I always have questions!
I have all the signs that I ovulated yesterday: Positive OPK on Saturday evening and ovulation pain early yesterday afternoon, but no temperature shift as of this morning. I did have questionable temperatures on Saturday and Sunday morning as we went away and there were more than normal bevvies, but my temp actually went down.
Friday: 36.02
Saturday: 36.36 (Positive OPK in PM)
Sunday: 36.22 (Ovulation pain in PM)
Monday: 36.12
Not sure what's happening, but hopefully we BD'ed enough to cover us for this month!
Any thoughts?

 

[Dandi]

The same thing happened to me this month travelgurl. I didn't get an obvious temp shift until 5 days after my peak opk. It was so confusing. FF ended up putting my o date right when I thought it was anyway though (based on advanced setting). Just wait a few more days and see if you see the shift. I'd keep BDing until you see the shift just in case. I didn't do that this month though and I wish that I had.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I'm having troubles with my temperature too! I had a positive OPK 2 days ago, with ovulation pain yesterday. I was expecting a bigger temp rise this morning but it didn't happen. I have no idea what's going on right now.
I don't have any advice as I'm new to charting, but thought I would say that you're not alone with weird temperatures right now. Xx

 

[Lala77]

So July 1st will be my 9dpo ... To test or not to test that is the question. I have a feeling July isn't my month :0( I'm actually at the doctors for stomach virus and there is no way this is pregnancy related ( I've been fighting the dehydration but it's been very hard. I'm trying to stay positive but I feel physically yucky and it makes me so sad/mad because I know it's not morning sickness.

 

[Trying4first1]

10dpo here and not feeling very positive today! I know they say it's not over until the fat lady sings, in this case AF. But been having quiet a few cramps. I had these the month I got my bfp but I am sure that they were more mild. Getting so bored now.......would rather she showed up if she's going to so can crack on with next cycle!

 

[Dandi]

Same here Trying! 12dpo here. Spotting had stopped after a one time appearance yesterday, but came back today in all different kinds of forms. So today has been a roller coaster of "that's definitely IB, no, surely AF is about to come, but maybe it's IB..." My head is spinning. At this point, I do feel like AF is going show, probably early. I'll still be testing again in late July though, so I'm not going anywhere! =)

 

[Trying4first1]

Oh Dandi how confusing for you! It's so horrible as it messes with our heads and its worse because we are hoping for the best all the time. So frustrating. Let's hope that we get a bfp very soon or AF just hurries the hell up so we can move on and forget this month! I will be a very late July tester or early August, depending on when AF shows up
