The July Pact....

@Alyosha that's interesting! Will be interesting to see if your next baby is the same. Sorry to hear you had false positives, that's such a shame.

She is 2! And she was a surprise so TTC is new to me and I don't have much clue about what I'm doing 😂

He's 20 months! His pregnancy was a funny one, I didn't get a positive until 19dpo...after a "period" (an odd, light period, but still). So that's really made it hard for me to keep a sense of perspective about TTC!

How old is yours? Crossed fingers you fall first time!

I'm waiting until 19dpo to test again, ideally even longer...I seem to get positives very very late. And last cycle I had a lot of false positives (I know they say they're rare, but apparently I was lucky like that :p).

@alyosha How old is #1? I only came off the pill beginning of June. If I predict a 28 day cycle then I'm due on 28th July, but I don't know if I'll ovulate or how regular my cycle will be.
Fingers crossed this is your month! Have you decided when you're going to test?

@Alyosha I won't be able to test till my AF day this cycle but I ovulated late so will only be 11DPO so probably for the best!

@kirinm They were meant to arrive yesterday or today so I am hoping tomorrow! I am unsure what a longer LP may mean but I have a shorter one, if my period arrives the same as the last few cycles it will be my shortest yet!

@Tigger1987 I don't think RHR is reliable as BBT. Fingers crossed for you. When are they meant to arrive?

Does anyone know what difference a slightly longer luteal phase mean? I am 12dpo but if my cycle is 26 days as it has been for the last 6+ months, it means I have a 15 day LP. I'm just wondering what affect if any that has?

@Tigger1987 The nausea is a very good sign as is the temp, crossed fingers you get your BFP soon - perhaps a blessing in disguise you can't test so early!

Hi everyone,
Just catching up.

@Sansa87 I am ever so sorry. Sending you a big hug. I can imagine you must be emotionally and physically exhausted.

@Rotagilla Sorry AF arrived. How cruel our bodies can be. I hope the chocolate cake and gin was delicious.

@kirinm I never realised those tests can have bad evap lines. Really hope your positive is on its way.

So ordering tests to arrive really late in my cycle has backfired. They still haven't arrived and I want to test! My AF is due the earliest on Saturday. Still not many symptoms and only 9DPO. My temp is still rising but my RHR has dropped so not looking promising. Feel a bit nauseous but I have been overdoing it at work.

@Rotagilla sorry to hear about AF too - crossed fingers for next cycle

@Rotagilla Would you mind adding me?

Cycle 2, AF due 15/07/2020, pretty sure I ovulated 1st of July, POS 20th July

@honeysun101 yup, also TTC no.2 here, on cycle 2 8dpo. When are you due on?

@kirinm crossed fingers for you. You're not out 'till the period comes. I tend to test positive really late too, so not testing until I'm at least 5 days late this time. If indeed I am late! Lack of AF is a great sign. Fingers very much crossed here.

@Sansa87 So sorry to hear that. It's really shit, I hope you feel better soon.

Last night I squeezed my boob and some colostrum came out...which seems extremely early and not even an early pg sign?? 8dpo now...vaguely sore boobs and had some light spotting last night after we had sex. Could just be my cervical erosion playing up :p

Is anyone close to testing?

Hey, we are TTC baby #2. Is it okay to join here?

@rotagilla sorry to hear that AF has arrived, I really did think this could be your month! We definitely need some more BFPs on this thread @kirinm hopefully you'll be the next one, you're getting definite lines even if they are very faint!

@Rotagilla wow that chart is amazing! I'll check dates and get back to you

@Rotagilla Oh I'm so sorry 😔 Last month I had some unfamiliar symptoms too than ended with spotting and AF. It's so strange how this happens, like you said we think we know our cycles but weird stuff happens to make us think otherwise.

Enjoy your chocolate cake and gin!

Sorry to hear that @Rotagilla - can you treat yourself to something nice to make up for AF arriving?

What sort of pact do you want to make for next month? I thought I was due on on Saturday but it may be Sunday so I'll be joining you then - fancy making another thread? I feel like I was pretty relaxed up until about 9dpo where I went crazy again. Definitely think your approach works.

Pretty good evap today. I don't know why I do this to myself.

My body is driving me nuts. Every cycle where I've made notes has be having cramps and backache and a general feeling of AF's imminent arrival but today, nothing much at all. I'm concerned that maybe I didn't ovulate and that's why I've got no symptoms of any kind? I certainly don't feel pregnant and am taking the BFN today as definite but why the hell after months of having fairly similar symptoms does my body change?
