TTC AUGUST (Fertile window mid august!)

Hi guys, late joiner, I'm TTC, got a feeling like AF about to arrive but just a few days past ovulation so wondering if it means anything. Trying not to get to caught up in symptom spotting.
Good luck to everyone.
Literally joined a few mins ago, started reading the thread but haven't read all the 200 odd posts but will be here from here on in ☺️

@Kg87 Thank you! Ahh it's so annoying when you can't find the answers you're looking for!

@igloo92 Thanks! 😊 Yeah that's how I was haha, just knew for a fact I'd be a symptom spotter and here I am 😅

Kinda feel like my boobs have stopped being sore?? Which, on the one hand, is discouraging - but on the other, even before AF it'd be unusual for them to hurt for a couple of days and then stop?? So wondering what's going on now haha

I'm counting yesterday as my ovulation day. I got a peak opk in the morning and afternoon and had some very intense ovulation pain in the evening.

We've been attempting SMEP this cycle and done pretty well with it so far so I'm hopeful. Trying to be sensible but I know I'm going to symptom spot as obsessing over something is just in my nature 🙈. I'm terrible for it!

Good luck with your test tomorrow @somanystars 😊

@beckyBP @somanystars haha that’s brilliant 😂😂 I keep googling long sentence questions and coming up with no answers, obviously 🙈 At least we’re all in the same obsessing boat!

Both of your symptoms seem really promising! Crossing fingers and toes for you x

@beckyBP I definitely will! 😁 I've seen sooo many of these threads though where people have every symptom there is and still get BFN so I'm trying not to get my hopes up too far! 😅

@somanystars ooo that does all sound very positive! Keep us updated!!

Oh, and had crazy vivid (and kinda horrible) dreams the past few nights - anyone else??

@beckyBP I'm 8DPO as well, I think that's quite a few of us on the same day!

And don't worry, I totally feel you - yesterday I googled if excessive yawning is a symptom 🤣

I'm not quite so exhausted today, didn't have a nap this afternoon like I have the last couple of days, but feeling sooo narky in a very familiar PMS way so naturally hoping it isn't that! Also noticed a bit of yellow CM earlier which isn't something I usually get, I don't think, and which came up a lot in my google searches as a positive sign at this stage in the cycle! And my boobs are feeling achey in quite a bruised way. Hoping it's all positive!

Picked up my FRERs today and going to do one in the morning. I know it's early but I just can't wait any longer lol 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Kg87 I'm also 8 DPO. I've got a stomach ache rather than cramps which is weird 🤔

This will make you laugh ladies.. I just googled if achy arms are a sign of early pregnancy because mine are SO achy 😂🤣 chief symptom spotter here 🙋🏼‍♀️

@EmmaAM ahh I know, I don’t think my husband will want to talk to me if I get any more emotional 😂 I’ve read quite a few forums where the symptoms seem to stop randomly but have led onto BFP so fingers crossed!

@Kg87 the wild emotions are going to be interesting if we already feel them like that now! 🙈 I'm jealous that you've been at work so that the time might pass a little quicker 😂 I've had tummy aches and cramps as well though they seem to have eased off today!

@abitfunny feeling a bit down today as I tested too early and there wasn’t even a squinter of a line 🙈😂 so I will probably wait until 11/12DPO to test again. Im in awe of those that can hold off testing until after AF is due, wish I was one of them, I’m so impatient haha 😂

@Kg87 hi! :) how are you feeling? I definitely think 8dpo is too early to test. I'm pretty certain I tested on the day my period was due with my son. Don't know if I will be able to hold out that long this time...

@EmmaAM yeah I’m wondering if I’m completely making these symptoms up, maybe I’m just noticing them this cycle as I haven’t properly had to do the TWW until now. Haha I think wild emotions could be a positive sign, I cried in the toilet earlier coz my boss asked me to stay a bit later at work today 😂🙈 Really hoping you get your BFP this week! Have you had any other symptoms?

@abitfunny hiya! I’m 8DPO as well, I thought AF was due this weekend but now my app says Monday too! Hoping it doesn’t arrive at all for all of us 🤞🏼

@Kg87 I'm currently 12 DPO with AF supposed to be on Friday. I've just felt very odd this month compared to the previous two but still scared I'm just making it all up in my head 😔 I will be so excited for us of we can both get that BFP! I ended up hysterically laugh/crying today which was really bizarre 🙈🙈

I've been feeling different since yesterday. Today is 8 dpo. Yesterday had quite strong cramps, today have a bizarre taste in my mouth. Also having really strange dreams. I'm hopeful but could also be leading up to AF. Due on next Monday/Tuesday hoping to hold out until then!

@EmmaAM those signs do seem promising, fingers crossed for you! How many DPO are you? I know we’re similar aren’t we? I’m 8DPO and caved again today and of course got a BFN so feeling a bit down, keep trying to remind myself that 8DPO is probably too early to tell and it’s not over until AF arrives but like you say it seems like ages away!

@bez91 welcome and good luck!!

Hi all can I join please?

2nd month trying for #2, daughter is soon to be 3. Just winged it last month but my cycle is so irregular between 21-43 days so decided to use OPK this month. Only finished my period a couple of days ago but got a high fertility and smiley face on a clearblue test this morning which was sooner than expected so we will see what this cycle brings!

Good luck to all

So since I last posted on here, I believe I've had symptoms that could be positive signs! I've been bloated for about five days, going to the loo a lot and today I got a couple waves of nausea. However I did cave and tested early and got a BFN 😔 AF should be here on Friday but at the minute that feels like ages away!

@beckyBP i believe it is, but been feeling it for a couple of days which is would be madness

@beckyBP I'm actually chill for now. My cycle might still be a bit off since last month i missed a proud so let's see what happens.. Xx

@Pinkiii 6 DPO is roughly when implementation occurs isn't it? Xx

I don’t know if i’m having implantation symptoms or imagining it. I think 6 DPO is a bit early 🥴

@stepmumSW5 I didn't peak until CD15 so there's still time, don't stress xxx

@igloo92 I'm trying femometer this cycle 😊
