August might be pact might be madness part 2

@claireb707 hope you had a lovely time! The weather has gone horrible here so you probably made the right decision to come home. How weird that we've all had such strange cycles this month!

Sorry to bore you all with my OPKs but finally premom has decided that my OPK earlier was actually my peak... Finally on CD20!

@whambam89 Yeah that’s definitely a dye stealer, can’t get more pink than that!

@Sansa87 I can imagine your anxiety must be through the roof. I know I've got that all to come when we do fall pregnant again! I know it's easier said than done but try to relax x

@Louisa199 but the test line is stronger than the control line so it's a positive ovulation test surely?

@whambam89 It makes sense when the app says low since the result is still negative, but you should hit the peak soon. I would keep testing.

Wishing you a happy 2ww @whambam89

I’m okay, thankyou. Still quite crampy, & scared of every week break, but just taking it day by day.

@Sansa87 I'm going to put it down as I've had my peak today, can't see it getting darker than that really! How are you feeling today?

Looks like a peak to me @whambam89

I didn’t understand that app either, I just ended up frustrating myself

Not sure what the premom app wants from me but apparently this still isn't peak!!

Can you tell DD is back in nursery and I have nothing better to do with my time than pee on sticks?? 😂

@MrsB2019x will get BD tonight then! Typical that OH has been off since last Thursday and today he's back in work. Ahh I hope it is a good omen, my little girl was due on my dad's birthday (we had lost him 3 years earlier) and I cried when her due date came and went 🙈

I calculated if I got pregnant this cycle my due date would be my mum’s birthday 🥰 hoping it’s an omen!!

@whambam89 That’s 100% a peak, it’s practically a dye stealer 😂

@kirinm Maybe the chemical has impacted it a bit ☹️ The limbo is the hardest bit!

Nothing much to report here, 3DPO, just sat waiting for 7DPO+ when things start getting interesting 😂

I'd say this was peak but premom just says "high"??? Will do them every 4 hours today because surely if this isn't peak then it's right around the corner!

My cycle is definitely messed up. AF was due two days ago so I assume I must've ovulated late / not at all. My cycles are very regular so not having a clue what is going on is quite an odd feeling. Tbh, not having to stress about DTD and taking ovulation tests is nice.

I have missed so much since I last looked! Have been trying to give myself a thinking-about-pregnancy break since AF came, after the 6 week cycle last month I'm just trying to keep an open mind on the opks and accept that it might be ages til I get a positive. Dtd every other day or so anyway! Hope everyones ok though ❤️

@MrsB2019x It's nice to keep up with everyone's journey, we've supported each other through so far so it seems a shame to suddenly disappear completely.

@kirinm I'm glad you're feeling better, it sounds like you've had a really rough month. I'd be tempted to give my body a break from ttc for a cycle and give yourself plenty of recovery time. Thinking of you x

@BabyH88 Have you tested again yet? Your symptoms sound promising! Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Sounds like something has been in the air this month though with super long cycles and tonnes of flashing smilies. It's like our bodies just enjoy messing with our heads!

@Sansa87 hopefully you can resist using them for at least a few days then!

Day 9 of flashing smiley this morning and no more sticks left. Will be using a cheapy opk mid morning to see what my lines are doing but I feel like I either ovulated yesterday / am due to ovulate today.

@MrsB2019x I think I only have a frer, & a cb digital week one, so should be okay not testing now 😂 well, until I brave it and use the week one 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈

How are you girls doing this morning?

Aww glad to see some of you still popping up! I can see why you’d feel like treading on toes in here but this has been such a tight knit supportive group it would be a shame to lose you all!

@whambam89 Sounds like you’ve DTD at pretty good times to catch it, everything crossed for you 🤞

@Sansa87 For 8:30 at night with dilute pee that’s a lovely line! In the nicest way, put the sticks down 😘

I'm still here too! I've been keeping up to date with everyone's progress, but don't want to upset anyone by still hanging around too visibly. I know TTC can be really draining emotionally. Partly I don't feel properly pregnant until I reach the 12 week mark.. it feels too soon to be part of the pregnancy threads and too insensitive to stick around on here complaining about nausea. Definitely thinking of you all regularly and sending baby dust ✨

@LT103 Thank you! Counting down 😅 Every week is a huge milestone at this stage.

@whambam89 Thank you so much - will do!! 💕 Crossing my fingers for your static xx

@Sansa87 perhaps I'll get my static tomorrow - it's my last stick so if I don't then I'll have to rely on the cheapies!

@LeopardLover I remember that feeling too well, praying for symptoms and then wishing them away when you do get them! Hopefully it comes round nice and quickly for you - make sure you update us once you've had the scan, I love a scan picture! X

@Sansa87 that is much darker!!! Fingers crossed for you!!

@LeopardLover how exciting. Not long til you get to see the scan!!!
