The July Pact....

[Rotagilla]

Thou will not get stressed.

Thou will symptom spot casually and not obsessively.

Thou will not test before 12dpo.

@ALew15 great line progression, congratulations!

@Rotagilla thanks for all your work updating the spreadsheet.

9dpo now, No idea which symptoms are really and which are all in my mind!.

@rotagilla loving the updates, not annoying at all!

@kirin how are you feeling today?

@honeysun101
I don't blame you waiting till 2022 as it is going to be a busy year next year with weddings and no guarantee covid will be completely gone by then.

I can off my pill May last year when we moved to our new house but we're waiting till we were married. So I am hoping that my dates are right but you just never know.

Yes we have to stay in touch especially if we have a BFP at the same time. Fingers crossed x

I'm okay thanks. Pretty sure I'm out. I don't have any tests (yet) which is annoying but also probably for the best as they make me feel really miserable!

How are you feeling?

My tests arrived and was a BFN. Starting to get the tell tale signs of AF but we shall see. At least I will have tests for next cycle!

Ah sorry to hear that @Tigger1987 - how many dpo are you?

@kirinm I am about 9/10 DPO but I ovulated late and only have 25 day cycles (well have the last few months) so due AF tomorrow. Are you due AF today?

So this is my first cycle and ovulation is 17th July and af due 31st July.

@Tigger1987 no not until Sunday. I think I have a 15 day luteal phase. Either that or I got the day of ovulation wrong which would mean even less of a chance I'm pregnant!

@tigger1987 9/10dpo is still really early so there's definitely still time for you to get your bfp! Implantation most commonly occurs at 9dpo :)

@kirinm Sorry for my ignorance but an evap looks grey when we want pink. Is that right?

@SS123456 Loving the BBT spike!

@Tigger1987 There's definitely still time for you!!

I'm feeling crampy today and bit disappointed my BBT dipped but I've ordered some FRERs in case no AF arrives or I suddenly develop nausea 😅

@LeopardLover yep! Pink, not grey.

I've actually felt really nauseous all day and can't shift it with food or water. But I am also having the normal AF signs now and I'm sure AF will be here soon. I'm hoping not tomorrow because that means a 25 day cycle which seems so short.

Next month I plan to use OPKs but I might force myself to stay away from testing... I just end up miserable!

Morning all!

My BBT plummeted overnight. Sob. Also very crampy. Annoyingly looks like I'm next due to ovulate as the gyms open so I won't even get to enjoy the reopening (as I'll likely be in my next TWW then)!

@kirinm, how are you feeling today? Nausea like that isn't normal so hoping it's connected!! Are your tests arriving today?

@kirinm hoping the nausea means something positive for you! Could almost be bearable then!

@LeopardLover ah that's a shame. I miss the gym! I was getting back into it the weeks leading up to lockdown. I wonder how they will work them, will you have to mask up?

I just tried to use my CB weeks indicator test and a little book came up on it meaning error. I'm so annoyed. I think I held it in my wee for too long. I wanted to compare this weeks to next weeks. I hate wasting money 😫

Morning. I'm actually still in bed but feel like AF may just be about to start. I do have tests but not sure whether to waste them or not.

@LeopardLover do you stop exercising during the TWW?

@ALew15 if it'll give you reassurance then buying another test is worth the money. I only ever bought one digital because I couldn't stomach the cost. Felt like that about FRERs too but I've managed to get through 4 of them this month!

Morning everyone!
@kirinm I really hope nausea is a promising sign for you. How are you feeling today?

@LeopardLover boo to BBT plummeting but you never know until AF arrives. I am not one to use a gym but I do run and find I really miss running on the second half of the 2ww (which is normally when I have a break).

@ALew15 That is rubbish about the test. Could it be a faulty test? I wonder if you contact CB they would send you another as they aren't cheap!

So another BFN today at 10/11 DPO. My BBT went up fractionally and got my hopes up. I am really crampy, had a continuous dull ache since last night and my lower back hurts so I am sure I will see AF soon!!

@Tigger1987 I felt like I might throw up yesterday but i am pretty convinced it's reflux because I am very crampy today.

Can I ask why you choose not to exercise during the TWW?

Hi all can I join? I'm late to the party.

AF now 2 days late and it's never late. This will be baby number 2. We've been trying since March.

Can I ask - last time I knew something was going on. I had symptoms before I did a test. This time I have no symptoms. Not one. I'm so shocked (but very happy if I get a BFP) . Is this normal? Xx

BFN for me. Glad to be able to mentally move on from this cycle. Clearly not having any symptoms other than weird nausea isn't a good sign either!

@kirinm Exercise wise I still run the first week but the past few months when TTC I have not run the second week of the 2WW. More because of my head and not because of any science advice of not exercising!! Every month I think I will carry on exercising regardless but then I start overthinking about blood pressure etc and don't. Silly really.Sorry to hear about the BFN.

@HeadShouldersKnees Welcome to the group! I have heard of quite a few people who don't experience symptoms. Every pregnancy is different but it is so hard not to compare to previous pregnancies. Are you going to test soon?

AF day today but still hasn't turned up... yet. I am off to Chessington for two days so really wanted to know either way!

@ALew15 how annoying, definitely complain to ClearBlue!

@kirinm sorry to hear about your BFN. Still, could still be a chance if AF doesn't arrive?

@Tigger1987 I actually feel the other way! I try to exercise more because of a totally un-scienced based feeling that all the blood flow must be beneficial. somehow.

I have some nausea, very bad cramps (almost like a contraction actually!) and colostrum from one of my boobs. Goodness knows what's going on there...

@kirinm Still time for you!! Your other symptoms are promising. 😊 I read light exercise is suggested - I love to go pretty hard at the gym and work up a sweat. I think the verdict is out but I'd rather be a little cautious in my TWW! However, if I ovulate later, I'm going 😅 might book a session via the app just in case.

@alyosha have you tested? How many dpo are you? Sounds promising!
