*** July 2019 (testing thread) *** (51 testers, 11 BFP's so far)

Hello ladies, I just wanted to update that I got AF! I’m glad I can start planning for next cycle, this one was too long! I O’d on CD 31 and then a 12 day LP made for a 43 day cycle!!!!! Glad that’s over! Lol.

Best of luck ladies!! Baby dust to all!!

 

[Trimeka]

I will be testing again 31 July! 2nd IUI was on the 20th

 

[Trimeka]

Hope you’re doing ok and have some answers!

Dr said it was nothing to worry about...my cycle started early and I must have been super fertile that the lining shed extra fast the first day. I had my 2nd IUI on the 20th, I pray this is it

 

[magicalmom2be]

Oh a testing partner! Good luck to you too! How are you feeling?

Thank you!
I’m 7DPO and have been unusually tired since 5DPO. I told myself I wasn’t going to symptom spot or test early in this cycle like I have done in the past, because the disappointment hits me hard with all the BFNs and when AF shows up. However, I can’t ignore the fact that I have been so exhausted that it’s a struggle to take off my clothes! I’m trying to blame the fatigue on something else, but there is nothing else. But then, if I get BFN this month, it would’ve had to had been something else!

So, I’m pushing through this fatigue, working and getting everything done that must be done, taking naps when I can, and going to bed early in hopes I will feel more rested the next day, but to no avail, I wake up more tired than the day before. If I get AF this month, I think I’m going to the doctor to see what this fatigue is about, because I’ve never felt so drained in my life without reason!

If my temp doesn’t drop by AF, I will test. If my temp drops around AF, I’m not even going to set myself up for the disappointment.

Enough of me ranting! How are you feeling? Any promising symptoms so far?

 

[magicalmom2be]

No it’s a one step ‘ultra’ early cheapie this one. Aw I so hope this is it now.

Hey ciz!

Just realizing it’s YOU! I remember us in the 2ww threads a few years back, sometime Aug 2015 to Dec 2015 — somewhere around then. That was the last of me TTC until now.

So sorry for your loss, love.

Hi ladies, I'll begin testing on the 27th.. I'm a poas-aholoic so that will be 8dpo. Got a super dark opt the evening of the 20th and DTD first thing when DH got home from work on the 21st. CD1 of this cycle was a miscarriage at 6w+5 so not sure what possessed us to try but we did. The wait (impatiently) begins...

I'm so happy to be here with you girls but I think I'm going to take a step back the tww has me completely obsessed with the thought of getting a bfp that's all I do all day when I have free time is symptom spot, Google everything I think may be an early sign go on ff and this wonderful forum all day, my daughter even mentioned it to me and I felt so bad she said "mom, can you please get off your tablet/phone and play with me, you keep ignoring us" US meaning her and my son. I feel so guilty about it, because its sadly true. So I'm going to step away for a while atleast until I'm about due to test and then come back alittle less obsessed. I'm even ignoring my husband, I'm 7dpo today and I managed to take 5 cheapie tests and 1frer of course I'm getting shadow lines on my ic's hence the frer, and darn frer is a I'm seriously out of control. Mind you I'll still test but I think once a day should sufficeand of course if I get a convincing enough line I'LL BE BACK ok rambling over

I’m feeling the same. My girl is asleep that’s when I’m usually on because I feel super guilty taking time from her to obsess over TTC.

Hey all,

Haven't been around much for the last month because I was overseas (Europe and the UK) for a lovely holiday. Now I'm back and AF was due Sunday but hasn't appeared yet! Tested this morning and got a faint positive - still can't get my hopes up until I have something more 'real' than that.

Question: have any of you got BFPs and not had many symptoms? When I was pregnant earlier in the year I was very lightheaded and had extremely sore boobs before I got my positive. Now, I don't really have much going on at all. Boobs aren't tender, and I haven't been noticeably light headed. I have been feeling vaguely nauseated for the last few days and very tired, but that could also be due to jet lag. I guess I'm just really scared it's a chemical or some other kind of false positive or something. After my loss earlier in the year I am extremely paranoid.

I was 9 weeks when I had my mc in May. I'm feeling the light headedness and nausea with a few bouts of vomiting. I've had a faint positive on frer but it looks neg on the Walmart 88 cent cheap tests. I too am afraid of it being a false positive from the frer

With my DD I had no symptoms at all except extreme tiredness which at the time I put down to being busy and driving a long distance when I hadn't had a car for 18 months. She's now 7

Vomiting sounds like a pretty good sign to me! Good luck!

Ah great, that's very reasurring. I could tell last time that I was pregnant but now there's not much going on. I know it's early days yet...

 

[saveme]

I’m feeling the same. My girl is asleep that’s when I’m usually on because I feel super guilty taking time from her to obsess over TTC.

I think that's what I'll do I'll wait until bedtime to let my obsession flow... thanks for this idea

Thank you!
I’m 7DPO and have been unusually tired since 5DPO. I told myself I wasn’t going to symptom spot or test early in this cycle like I have done in the past, because the disappointment hits me hard with all the BFNs and when AF shows up. However, I can’t ignore the fact that I have been so exhausted that it’s a struggle to take off my clothes! I’m trying to blame the fatigue on something else, but there is nothing else.

I really hope this is your month! It sounds like it could be, but I understand about not wanting to get too excited too early.

This is actually our first real month trying. We semi started in June but missed my fertile window, so I wasn’t expecting much.

I charted when I was in my early twenties because my periods were really irregular and I was tired of bleeding on things. I realised I feel ovulation either the day before or day of my temp jump, so I stopped chatting after a year and have been relying on ovulation cramping ever since. I always get my period about 13 days after the cramping, although I can sometimes be a day later or earlier.

Today I’m 10 dpo. The only thing that’s been different this month is cramping 7-9 dpo. I’ll see if it starts again today. But then I think maybe I always had it and just never noticed it before.

I’ve also had sore breasts, which is normal for me. They stop the day before or the day of my period. They’re definitely less sore today than the past few days.

I’m pretty much expecting to get my period since I would be shocked to be pregnant our first month trying, but I guess you never know. We’ve been together 10 years and always used withdraw as our only birth control, so I kind of feel like if it was so easy we would have had an oops pregnancy at some point.

This whole TWW thing is agonising. It doesn’t help that I’m a teacher and my summer break just started so I don’t have much distraction.

Hiiiiii
This is why I have a soft spot for this forum. It’s so fab to see you trying again hun. I’m keeping everything crossed for you.
I’m still in limbo. I’ve literally had 3 weeks of positive and negative tests. It’s driving me insane. And still no period. I’ve got the drs today so I’m hoping bloods will be taken. If they don’t I will stage a sit in until I get them done

 

[Mrshopeful22]

So I'm still testing after my bfp on Saturday. I'm 16 dpo by my calculations but 13 dpo by my app. Three days won't make too much difference but I'm going to keep testing until Thursday. Today's test was at 12 noon with an hour and a half hold. Line is getting darker, just wish it was as dark as the control although I know a positive is a positive. This is today's test. I don't really have any symptoms other then slightly tender boobs and cramps/pulling sensation every now and then. Oh and the bloat is real! I am exhausted but between the heat, two kids & a puppy, I am always tired lol.

All looks great hun. I didn’t have any major symptoms with my dd or ds until a few weeks in.

Hope the puppy isn’t being too mischievous haha. I’m still on puppy watch.

Yeah with DD1 I symptom spotted like crazy. I was nauseous from about 4dpo. DD2 was a happy surprise (DD1 was only 9 months) so I had no idea I was pregnant until AF was a day late. I had worse morning sickness on my DD1 which started about 6 weeks. Now that I am symptom spotting again, I find that I don't really have much but sure that is normal too. I am just nervous because this was our first month trying for no.3. I expected it to take a while so now I feel like it's too good to be true.
Puppy is going great, he's a little bit of a messer but also really calm at the same time if that makes sense! Hope you're dog gives birth soon! Post a picture when they are born
How are you feeling? xx
