*** August Testing Thread ***

[Alligator]

Looks like I was wrong..today’s OPK is even darker so today must be O day. I think the Covid shot delayed it a day or two.
We BD last night but will try and persuade OH for a deposit tonight too, hope he will be in the mood

@AlwaysTheAunt - That’s weird about the other reader predictions, I hope you get the baby girl!

Sounds like great timing either way - yay! Good luck and hope you catch the eggie.

I'm on CD3 and just waiting out AF. Had some cramps yesterday and AF was fairly heavy (for me) so hopefully my lining is thickening up a bit more, I've had light AF since my kiddo was born. We shall see. We are due to go away for a little family getaway this weekend so hopefully that'll help hubby and I reconnect a bit. Then once we're back it'll be time to start OPKs lol. So that will be a nice distraction.

Joining you guys here. Currently CD29 and 13DPO, I didn't bother testing today. Just waiting for AF at this point. Once she comes I'll be able to pinpoint a test date.

Good Luck Everyone!

@Alligator Hopefully you are right and the heavy flow means a more accomodating place for egg to snuggle down! FX'd for you

@Dream143r Sorry to hear you are waiting for AF. I'll keep praying she doesn't show for you And you get a surprise

AFM 5dpo. Itching so bad to test.
4 days to go before testing starts

10 DPO.
For now I am calling this an evap line because I watched it for 3 mins then binned it in disgust as I could only see the faintest of faint lines. Came back an hour later and it’s thick and blue and very obvious. If it was a pink dye I would call BFP but it’s blue so…

going to wait till 12 or 13dpo to do another. Last month I got false positives on a load of cheapies from the same batch and the month before was a chemical.

wish me luck.

 

[Catmumof4]

Oooh good luck @crazylilth1ng

 

[Bevziibubble]

I see it!!

 

[Deethehippy]

@crazylilth1ng - I’ve had lines on those after time that turned out to be negative BUT some turn out to be early positives and I’m praying this is the start of your BFP. I’ve got everything crossed for you!

 

[crazylilth1ng]

Thanks ladies.
@Deethehippy it was past the time I looked so I am assuming it’s negative. Last month I had an evap on one of these but it was fainter and not as clear, still, I know blue tests can throw pretty nasty dark evaps so that’s what I am calling this right now.

still… it could go the other way and be the start of something. The next test will be pink. They always reveal the truth for me (except those nasty clear and simple tests I had last month that threw out evaps every time except the first one I did).

Good luck - I definitely see something!

 

[tropicsgirl]

Ugh feeling so nauseous today. I’m sure it can’t be a pregnancy symptom because I ovulated just 2 days ago. This is officially a year and a half of trying for our 2nd. Just holding out hope it’ll happen at some point. I really don’t want to have to get fertility help as if much prefer to conceive naturally.

good luck to all!

 

[Alligator]

Ooohhh @crazylilth1ng that looks quite clear and thick for an evap! Fx for your next test.

 

[Deethehippy]

@tropicsgirl - good luck, I hope this cycle is your month.

For the ladies who have had the covid vaccine - has it affected your cycles much? I want to get it but im so scared of it prolonging our ttc journey and also scared of getting it whilst pregnant even if its said to be safe. After a pregnancy i will get it for sure but really thinking atm i should go get it.

For me personally, it did impact both my cycles. The first shot, AF came early. The 2nd shot, AF came late. But I’ve heard of it not impacting others...I say it’s worth it! It probably prolonged our TTC as well, but so glad it’s done and over with! One less thing to worry about. Plus, I feel much more protected after getting it.

 

[Deethehippy]

My temperature went even lower this morning so I have no idea if I’ve ovulated yet or not. Really thought I was ovulating yesterday with the positive OPK.

So to answer your question @AlwaysTheAunt it does look like the Covid shot is delaying my ovulation this month.

Not sure I’m up for any more BD today but we did BD last night so just going to hope it’s going to be enough and I ovulate today if I haven’t already!

 

[BabyBrain80]

@AlwaysTheAunt my covid jags don't seem to have affected me at all cycle wise as far as I'm aware. But I'm happier to get it done and over with before any pregnancy. X

I ovulated really early the month I got my vaccine, which actually helped me get pregnant because I didn’t really dtd around my fertile window.

Oh thats interesting! I'm only cd11 so might not even affect this cycle if i get it depending on when i can get in. Thanks ladies for your feedback! I've been too scared it might affect fertility

I was about cd7-8? And I ovulated on cd10 which is really unusual for me, my shortest cycle is normally 28 days, I normally ovulate on 14/15.

I couldnt get in until September anyway so booked in the dr next door (its 1 house away its so good haha). On the 12th!
