August might be pact might be madness part 2

Thanks @claireb707 everywhere I have seen average pre ov temps above 36 but I should stop fretting! I think I have got better this month with oral measuring technique as started middle of last cycle and I kept fidgeting so hoping my temp stays consistent for this luteal phase!

I forgot how much I hated the 2ww.

I hate all the waits involved in pregnancy 😂

Do any of you ladies measure BBT?

This is my first full cycle temping and I have seen a definite temp shift for 3 days so app has confirmed ovulation and it ties in with OPKs and CM 🥳

My temps are low though. Coverline is 36 but i had some days as low as 35.7 🤔

Temp is now 36.3-4 in last few days

@Tigger1987 I don't know really what my cycle lengths are, I've been on the pill for longer than I actually had normal periods for and I can't remember what they used to be like. Honestly was 100% sure AF had come this afternoon, got home from work and nothing! Can't be bothered with the docs yet, theyl say it's cos I've come off the pill..

@Tigger1987 I’m hoping it holds off til the weekend. More chance of making use of it 🤣🤣

@Sansa87 Can you imagine if they saw our search history!!

@MrsBtobe2020 I am so sorry that you are in the same position too. It is crap! Have you ever been this late before? I am considering going to the doctors if I make it to 7 days late but then in this current climate I just feel a bit silly.

@LT103 Your poor OH, exams are stressful. It is hard when your cycle suddenly changes for no apparent reason! Really hope you get your peak soon. :)

Must be something in the air. I’m having an odd cycle too. I normally ovulate day 14 and 26-28 day cycle.
Currently day 17 with still a negative opk and no change to temp. Starting to see a little colour on opk so hopefully get peak in next few days. This will be a longer cycle for me though.
Plus poor oh stressing about work exams and if I’d ovulated at the weekend all would have been fine but if I don’t ovulate for a few days then I doubt we’ll even try this month.

@Tigger1987 I feel ya! Currently cd41 and no AF. I've had so much cramping the past 2 days though, i really thought it would have come by now. I've done 3 tests all bfn so just a waiting game...impossible to avoid Google though 🙄

That sounds awful @Tigger1987

Google is a right bastard isn’t he. I hope oh never sees my search history. He would think I’m a crazy lady

I am finding things a bit tricky currently. So my period is 4 / 5 days late and BFN on FRER. My RHR has been dropping so I thought AF must be coming but still not here. My temperature is still high, went up today and my boobs are killing me. To cap it all off I woke up with thrush (which I think I may have had about once in my life). Sorry for the overshare. Normally my cycle ranges from 26-28 days and I am currently 37. I need to step away from Google as I keep diagnosing myself with different things. I really hope AF turns up soon as I am going a little crazy.

@Sansa87 I remember you having similar symptoms in the June thread so I can imagine it did get your mind thinking. I really have everything truly crossed for you.

@AMRose Welcome to the group. :)

Hey everyone,

please can i join? may be a little late in to the thread haha but i'm new to TTC and its very overwhelming!!
2nd attempt at 'trying' starting with OPK's this month and currently 1dpo or 3dpo (depending on apps) so just entering 2WW.
AF is due 01/09 :)

@89Ann I reckon about a week after ov. Definitely too early for any symptoms

@Sansa87 do you remember when you spotted these symptoms last time? Did you log it anywhere?

I really wish I had done an early test in cycle 1, I didn't test until the day started AF 3 days late and then a CB digi which was BFN. God this two weeks is going to draggggggg

That’s where I am atm... If I’d ovulated like normal a couple of days after high fertility I’d almost be convinced I was pregnant. 😂🙈

Not impossible @Sansa87! Try and think positive, you weren’t expecting to get the opportunity this month so try and think of it as a bonus try 🤣 Easier said than done I know. I am still waiting for my gynae appointment following drama I had in cycle 1 which led my GP to be worried I had another cyst but I have come to the conclusion it was a chemical. Told myself I would not obsess this 2WW and now I have had a stitch like pain on left side low in abdomen which I had in cycle 1 🙄

@stickytoffeepud1991 I have my fingers crossed for you!

Xx

Stop me being crazy

Going by clear blue i ovulated three/four days ago.

Last night all I could smell was cat wee (eventually saw one had a little wee in their cardboard house from b&m) and just went for a wee at work and my gums are bleeding.

Exactly my first two symptoms for my bfp in June.

Obvs impossible but bleh!

How is everyone??
AF still not here but can’t be arsed getting another BFN on a test 😂😭 xx

@stickytoffeepud1991 I gained around 3 stone with DD but am still a stone up (and a bit) from what I was before I got pregnant with her. I'm only just out of the healthy range but losing a few pounds definitely won't do me any harm!

Hopefully you managed to DTD plenty and the sperm sticks around for a few days while you're away 😂

@whambam89 I was exactly the same!! I put on 4 and a half stone last time and I don’t want to do it again!
We go away 5th September which is literally around my ovulation and by the time we get there and get settled I probably would of ovulated! We are stopping in a hotel on the 4th as we fly 6am the next day too so literally have the 1st/2nd and 3rd to try and hope for the best as whilst on hol wont be DTD at all with our DD around 😂it would be a miracle if managed it next month! Xx

@stickytoffeepud1991 I need to start doing some exercise to be honest. I could do with losing a few pounds to get me into a "healthy" BMI.

When do you go away? Hopefully it's timed well with when you next ovulate. Sorry to hear you're still getting BFNs :(

Glad you enjoyed your night @Sansa87 you both look lovely!!

No @whambam89
im just doing joe WiCks HIIT and weights at the moment and watching what I eat 😂

So did another test as I’m due AF Thursday and it was a BFN. it was a 20miu one though so not sure if it was less sensitive than the one I took Sunday but surely it should of picked it up if I was pregnant.

Feel a bit down but just got to wait for AF now and least I won’t be pregnant on holiday so can enjoy a few drinks 🍸 every cloud and all that! Xx
