The July Penis Dragon's final push for July BFPs!

[Blueskygirl30]

We've had a few BFPs so far this month but we want (and deserve) more! One last thread to finish off July in style!

bluesky we are the same dpo and I too have POAS today. But it's silly because I read some details about how the HcG hormone increases and I'm certain I implanted today too.

Cramps and that which is too early to be AF so feeling positive right now.

What I read is, say person 1 has a hcg level of 1 on 8dpo implantation day.

8dpo: 1
9dpo: 2
10dpo: 4
11dpo: 8
12dpo:16 (so this would be the first BFP that person 1 would get)

But let's say person 2 starts on 5hcg on 8dpo then they would be like this:

8dpo: 5
9dpo: 10 (first BFP for person 2
10dpo: 20
11dpo: 40

So it depends what level you start on between 1-5 hcg as to how soon you'll get your most sensitive test to pick it up.

Can I just say my womb feels busy! It's a new symptom don't you know. Finally got into bed and still got achy period like pain. Could be ov, could be implantation, could be my endo, could be I'm going insane! But I swear my womb is stretching and sticking out like a little mole hill as I lay flat. I've had an irritable uterus for about a million years so I think this has to be a good sign. It's busy stretching!

8dpo and woke up at 6 am again . Been to loo lots and feel really bleuurgh nauseous but that could just be my illness ... Aaargh might not be doing any sightseeing on this trip if the nausea continues . Can't imagine going in a car on these windy roads

Morning ladies

Sorry I can't keep up with you, but on my brief read back I'm sorry to see a lack of bfp's

Kitty, how annoying to still be waiting, hope you enjoyed the Pimms

MrsE, haha well done on the quick quickie

Genni, sorry to hear you think af is on it's way, that feeling sucks!

Hope all you teachers are enjoying your summer break

We're near the Alamlfi Coast, high up in the hills and it's absolutely stunning.....early start as we're moving on to Sorrento and want to do the Amalfi coast drive again.

Good luck to all of you poas soon

Spinning sounds like you are having an incredible time! Enjoy.

Nordic hope you feel well enough to make the most of your holiday with your family, it sounds very lovely where you are.

I'm shattered today as have been working so much recently - my usual 9-5:30 everyday and then quite a lot of weekend / evening work as well. Really hoping it calms down doom as parliament is now in recess... Never seems to pan out that way though! I'm also having some performance issues with one of the women I manage which is all a bit horrible, I hate making people sad and worried but think we really need to address it soon so need to find a way to talk about it with her that's constructive

Hope everyone is well today, more than half way through the working week! Xx

Good morning,

Hope everyone is ok today? AF hasn't rudely arrived early yet, 4 days until official start date based on past stats. Last cycle AF arrived 4 days early. Think I'll be happy if AF stays away until 28th, at least I won't have to worry about AF getting earlier & earlier then.

Who's due for poas next then? Let's hope there's some more BFPs to come yet. Xx

Oops, calm down SOON.

Just having a lurk to see how everyone is getting on and just want to say GOOD LUCK to those still waiting for their BFPs in July.

Cpt glad no sign of af yet - hope she stays away for good!

kurama do you take anti-inflams? I have naproxen and gp said I didn't need to come off them to ttc but it doesn't seem right taking them, I worry they will effect womb lining so I only take them when AF here. A nurse friend said they would be fine to take pre ov but not after. What advice have you been given? I'm avoiding going to the drs at the moment.

brixton Are you going to poas tomorrow? We are def in hpt territory now aren't we. How're you feeling?

Morning everyone, just checking in! No AF for me yet but still having AF type cramps. Temperature has shot back up from 36.5ish yesterday to 36.8 but I woke up at 5am and couldn't sleep for about an hour. Finally drifted off again at 6 and took the temp at 7.15 so it may be inaccurate now!

Fx for anyone testing soon

Cpt I don't take them as they actually make it worse.... The only things I'm on are prednisone and hydroxichloraquine sp* and cocodomol/tramadol for when pain gets too bad to cope. I avoid going to docs when I can too. If I feel really crap I just up my doses for a few days lol

Spinning sorry af got you Glad you are having fun on you holidays

Hope everyone else is doing ok, lots of baby dust coming your way x

kurama that's what I do too, I've just taken 20mg of prednisone instead of 10mg. Might have to be brave & see dr. I could do with a boost to get me through the holiday next week.

lucie hope AF stays away.

spinning your holiday sounds amazing.

nordic hope you manage to get out and about today. Are you in walking distance from anywhere? Save you having to sit in the car. I can't handle narrow winding roads either, especially when it's so hot.

Morning all

spinning sounds like you are having an amazing time!! wow!

brixton you are having a stressful busy time at work. hope it clears soon. I had to performance manage someone last year and it was hard. Really hard.

fancy nice to see you! How many weeks are you now?

nordic hope the nausea goes and you can do some sightseeing.

There were more people I wanted to comment on but am on phone and can't read back.

I've still got pre AF tummy cramps. AF due anytime from today onwards so fx. No symptoms at all!

Cpt af is due Monday and I don't have a good feeling this month, so I'm not going to make myself miserable POAS - want to try and forget about it this weekend!Fully expect af Monday but if she stays away I'll test on Tuesday.

Am feeling quite overwhelmed at the moment - if it's this tough on cycle 2 (and actually cycle 1 we weren't really trying, we'd just stopped using contraception) then I dread how I will feel in a few months. I know that sounds pessimistic, but I know you only have a 20% chance each month so realistically it might take a while. Think next month my focus is going to be on being as healthy as possible.

When are you due to POAS? Xx

Genni how did you deal with performance managing someone? Any tips you can share with me (on here or in message)? Any help hugely appreciated xx

Aargh so I now had some spotting , what the hell ?! Also just looked at my calendar and am 7 dpo today not 8. Other than one spot of blood last cycle around this time then the lines on two tests on two days and af starting on that second day ( I'm thinking that was a chemical ) I've never had spotting with the countless failed preg or with ds. It was a bit of old looking brown and a bit of bright red . Still nauseous as hell but not vomiting . This is properly screwing up my head . Also wondering about swimming . Normally would use a tampon but now not sure ...

So I guess I will be in the list of POAS possible BFP soon, AF is now stated to be due Wednesday. I'm 8/9 DPO today and I think had implantation or (haha I'm going to fool you into thinking your having implantation) cramps yesterday.

Woke up feeling light headed today, had sore bbs for days but not sure if thats normal as I've been on the pill so long.

spinning Me and DH stayed for a long weekend in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast, it's a beautiful place. We had a boat trip all the way along it and only the italians would build on the edge of mountains next to the sea. The hotel we stayed in had a infinity pool which looked like it just fell off the cliff edge. Lovely place, in fact I would argue the best part of Italy is the Amalfi coast for beauty.

Oooh spinning im off to sorrento in a couple of weeks for my honeymoon! Any tips? So excited!!

Oops forgot to bold - spinning that was for you!

Good grief! My bbt temp has gone back up to 37.29 and at 22dpo FF is having a hissy fit!

My "detailed interpretation" now says this:

There are at least three possibilities, all requiring the attention of your doctor:

The first possibility, if your chart does not show a clear ovulation pattern, is that you did not actually ovulate where you believe. You may have ovulated later or not at all, which would mean that you are not really "late" and that would explain why you are not getting positive results on your pregnancy test. If you consistently do not get a clear ovulation pattern on your chart, you should talk to your doctor and bring your charts along so that he or she can help you determine what might be going on with your cycle.
You might be getting false negative results on your home pregnancy tests. Ask your doctor for a blood test to determine whether or not you are pregnant.
There might be something besides pregnancy that is keeping your period away. Your doctor can help you see if this could be the case.

How do I put in to FF that my doctor is a knob?!?!

Oh yes!!

The is back!!!

Kitty Haha, well at least it's trying to be helpful even if your dr is terrible :/ xx
