TTC - Aug testers

Anyone got any symptoms in the tww?
I’m 10dpo and I feel so sick and have a horrible metallic taste in my mouth which has came out of nowhere.
Trying not to get my hopes up as it’s only my first month ttc after a Mmc in 2018!
I have also gave up caffeine as I’m a total addict and was drinking too much so I switched to decaff coffee and coke so maybe that’s why I feel like this?
I also have sore boobs but I aways have sore boobs straight after ovulation until Af so that’s not unusual for me.

@KatieFH @chillyfields keeping my fingers crossed for us all! The crazy thing is when me and my husband started trying, I said it will probably take us a while but when it happens it happens & now I am secretly turning into a crazy person doing constant google searches on early pregnancy symptoms...

@KatieFH @Terri055 you are both like me. Completely managed to convince myself I was pregnant last month - nausea, metallic taste in mouth, bloating, fatigue - but then AF arrived late... Same again this month and I am desperately trying to resist testing but suspect I'll give in. Never thought I'd turn into a crazy TTC demon but the wait is driving me mad!

@KatieFH last month was so annoying - I had such bad pains a week before my period, really bad lower back pain which I never suffer from and constant cramps :-( I've told myself to test on Saturday then every 2 days from there but I can't stop thinking about testing tomorrow! Going to try my best to just put it to the back of my mind I think xxx

Hi Ladies
Can I join in please?
This has been my second month of TTC, we used clearblue ovulation test this month and I got high fertility on 18th followed by peak on 19th - I'm due on 4th August and can early test from tomorrow but I'm not sure if to hold out until the weekend? I feel like I have symptoms, felt nauseousness yesterday and feel tired but I was pretty sure last month I felt different and turnt out not to be pregnant which was frustrating, part of me isn't sure whether my mind is playing tricks with me!

Hi, hope it's ok if I join too. I'm 32, OH is 34; we're on second month TTC#1. Today is 5DPO and although I promised myself I would chill out this month, obviously I am symptom spotting and reading forums like mad... Not helped by being furloughed and having nothing else to distract me. I'm trying to hold out testing until after AF due (between 4-8 August, seems to be on the longer side since we started TTC to taunt me). Sending good vibes to you all.

@KatieFH not yet! Hoping to hold out until 11dpo which will be 4th August! Time is going so slowly...

Does anyone else think they’ve spotted any symptoms? I feel completely normal so far!

Not yet! I want to sooo bad. I'll be testing in 3 days time. Hopefully I will be able to wait it out haha! It's so hard..

Not started testing but definitely started the dread symptom spotting... "was that a twinge?!"
Ugh I'm feeling really low about my chances this month even though we DTD every day of my fertile window. I have this anxiety that it won't have worked and I'll struggle on for months, ending up having to have some kind of medical intervention
Spiralling....

@KatieFH nope not yet, will be waiting until AF is due on the 5th, not stressing with testing before 😊

So having realised all my ICs are 2 years expired I’m hoping my constant POAS has been hampered by duff tests. That and the fact I’m on 10 DPO 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Oooh can I join please? I have the exact ovulation and af dates as you so will be testing 31st too.

@KatieFH hi. Temp tracking is not too bad. I'm finding it tricky doing it at the same time every morning though. I also get up in the night to pee and it needs to be taken after 3 hours of sleep. Hoping to get into more of a routine. I'll see what my temp does for the rest of the month I'll try and hold of testing until AF due (as hard as that may be)

Hi @KatieFH

I'm not 100% sure when ovulation occurred as I wasn't testing but I have an idea it was around 20th July. I have recently come off the pill so my cycle isn't regular at the moment so it's a bit of guessing game! I'm going to test on Saturday 1st August. If I can wait that long!

Does anyone know anything about having a higher bb temperature if you've conceived? My temp is normally around 36.0-36.5 range. But past 2 days (dpo7+8) it's been bang on 37.0 I thought maybe thermometer was dodge so keep taking my partners temp but his reads in the 36 range and I'm always 37... any experience or knowledge on this is much appreciated! Xx

@KatieFH thank you!! 💖

Hi ladies can I join? First month TTC. AF due 7th aug. Currently CD16. I usually ovulate CD14/15. But had EWCM on CD13 with ovulation pain. I'm temp tracking although not had a big temperature increase, temperature is only slightly higher than what it was at the start of the month. So not sure if I've ovulated. Any thoughts? Planning to use OPKs next month.

Hi! I think I'm due around the 3rd August so I'd love to join as well. Fingers crossed!
