The July Pact....

[Rotagilla]

Thou will not get stressed.

Thou will symptom spot casually and not obsessively.

Thou will not test before 12dpo.

@Alyosha It’s nice to talk to someone in a similar situation. I am doing OPKs just to see if I ovulate but still not 100% which days I’m supposed to DTD if the ovulation calculator (on apps) is right! Have heard of great success with the sperm meets the egg method but would need to know when I ovulate for that 🙄

@BabyH88
Sorry to hear about your wedding, we have had to do the same. When were you due to get married? I’m new to this too, but our dates seem quite similar. Not sure how long my cycle is though, going to have to wait and see! X

Hi all, been reading through your messages and thought I would join this chat, I hope you don’t mind. I don’t really understand a lot of what you’re saying in terms of the abbreviations etc 🤣 but I will google and hopefully get up to speed! Haha! My story is that We are in the first month of TTC, I haven’t read up or prepared at all really, apart from the basics! Im using clue and Flo apps to track. According to clue AF is due 26/07 and I’m ovulating on Saturday but according to flo I’m due AF on 29/07 and ovulating on Tuesday so who knows! I’m using those strips to check ovulation but it’s all guesswork with me at the minute! Hopefully you will help me out guys! 😃 xx

Evening all and welcome to the new faces! 😊 @Birnam Using OPKs on your first cycle = doing better than I did! I've learnt so much already so I'm sure you will pick things up here. 👍🏻

I want to buy some FRERs from anywhere but Amazon due to the awful reviews recently of false positives (they are really cheap on there atm). Can anyone recommend a good online supplier? Thanks!

@honeysun101
Oh no bless ya I think there are lots of people in the same boat unfortunately with having to postpone. We were due to get married 16th August, we have moved to the 1st August next year. When were you due to get married?

I am relying on the clue app with length and ovulation dates, but hope we will have each other to keep in touch with throughout this. How long have you been TTC?

Thank you! I feel welcomed! 😃

I know that Superdrug do FRERs online? Maybe Boots too!

@Birnam

Amazon sell them

@alew15 how are your getting on?

Morning, welcome to those who have just joined. 13dpo today and I won't be testing - I haven't just found will power, I just have no tests! I may have ordered some 🙈. I honestly don't know what to think. I don't feel pregnant but I don't have my usual AF symptoms either.

[quote whambam89]@alew15 how are your getting on?[/quote]
I'm doing well, thanks!
I'm still a crazy lady and have tested every morning since Monday. I've got some CB weeks indicators coming at the weekend. Once a crazy, always a crazy! 🤪

I had some heartburn or acid reflux a few days ago but that seems to have settled now.

Pic below of my lines now (top - Monday, bottom - today 🥰)

Progression looks great @ALew15 glad to hear you're not feeling too bad. Fingers crossed you don't suffer badly from morning sickness. How many dpo was that first one?

Welcome to all the new joiners 🙂
@kirinm I love how neither of us can test because we have no tests! I am really hoping mine come today and yours soon.

@ALew15 Great to see line progression! Glad to see the heartburn has settled.

I am 9/10DPO today. Temp is still up and AF could be due tomorrow (if I have another 25 day cycle like the last 2 months) but I don't tend to get a temp drop till day of AF anyway. I have had a bit of a sore throat the past few days so in between googling pregnancy symptoms I am also googling covid symptoms! 🙈

@alew15 great line progression! I sometimes wonder if there are people out there who just wait for AF to be late before testing and then only test the once 😂 glad you're not feeling too bad as well x

@tigger1987 @kirinm I'm only 4dpo and have one test in - my best friend is already under strict instruction to take it off me if I'm tempted to test ridiculously early haha. Last month I had loads of ICS because I got a box of OPKs and hpts and ended up using all of them.. I'm really going to try and not test early as I always manage to get at least one false positive somehow!

Morning!

@Birnam good shout 😊

@ALew15 Eeeek! That line progression is beautiful.

@kirinm a test tomorrow sounds perfect to me!

@whambam89 @Tigger1987 I'm 10/11 DPO today with zero symptoms and my BBT dropped a little overnight. Last month I had more symptoms, so it feels pointless me testing until AF is late 😩 Also, all the negative reviews of the FRERs has me a bit freaked out! I wouldn't want to get my hopes up thanks to a false positive.

Good morning all!
Welcome to all the new ladies!
I've added those with dates etc to the spreadsheet.

Will catch up later...after work zoom meeting 🙄

@ScottishLassie3 here we are!

Having said I've got no AF symptoms, I'm starting to get familiar pains and aches now 🙄

Updated spreadsheet!
I do hope you aren't getting annoyed with all the updates! Just things change and people join so frequently 🙂

Please let me know any changes, errors or missing info x

Thanks everyone 🥰

@kirinm the first test is 12Dpo (the day af was due) and today's is 16DPO, so still very early days. Apparently I am 4+1weeks.

@whambam89 I am definitely not one of those people 😂 I have a drawer full of tests to prove it!

@BabyH88
We were June 6th! We are going to move to 2022 but haven’t picked the new date yet.
I’m using various apps too! But I only came off my pill in early June so waited for my first AF & have started since then. So this is our first month of trying 😊 Definitely have to keep in touch to see how we get on! X

@ALew15 Just seen your positives, that’s great news! Congratulations 😍 x

@Rotagilla Love the spreadsheet, I’m only on cycle 1, and have only just come off the mini pills so don’t know accurate dates but if I have a ‘regular’ 28 day cycle, I should ovulate on the 15th and AF is due 28th! So you can add me in 😁 x

@LeopardLover

Morning!

@Birnam good shout 😊

I wouldn't want to get my hopes up thanks to a false positive.

I was worried about that with FRER but clearly that isn't the case all the time as I didn't get anything except the evaps but I had taken the case apart by then.

@ALew15

Fab. Fingers crossed all goes well for you. Will this be your first? Sorry you've probably said before?

@kirinm yes our first together. My DH has two boys (13&10) from previous. Very exciting. I had a MMC last year so being cautious but what will be will be. 😊

@Rotagilla I love the spreadsheet updates, thank you! It's much easier to look back on and use to keep track of everyone on here 😊

@ALew15 those lines look great! 😁🎉

I'm 8dpo and had a bit of a jump of bbt this morning but trying to tell myself not to read into it as it could drop back down tomorrow! 🤦🏻‍♀️
