The July Pact....

[Rotagilla]

Thou will not get stressed.

Thou will symptom spot casually and not obsessively.

Thou will not test before 12dpo.

@ss123456 I don't know much about charting but from what I do know I think yours looks promising! When do you think you'll test?

@whambam89 thank you! I am 10dpo tomorrow and hoping to hold out until next week but I'm sure that will go out the window in the morning 😂

@Tigger1987
Just tested tonight and got a BFP - delighted! We've been trying for a long time so over the moon xx

Does anyone have any reliable info re exercising in the TWW? It hasn't occurred to me that it might be a problem (not that I've been massively active the last couple of months)! I obviously don't want to be doing things that will harm my chances but just not sure what the guidance is. When I google I've only found forum comments and stuff that seems specific to IVF (although I guess that could apply to everyone)?

@headshouldersknees congratulations! How long had you been trying if you don't mind me asking? TTC number 2 as well x

@HeadShouldersKnees congratulations! 😁🎉. How many dpo are you and how long have you been trying?

@HeadShouldersKnees Ah fantastic news! Congratulations!! You must be so happy.

@kirinm Oh no. I didn't mean to worry you about exercising. I am just a huge worrier and worry unnecessarily about things. You hear of people doing very intense sports that don't even realise they are pregnant so I am sure it is fine.

I have felt crampy all day but still no AF. I guess my bbt tomorrow morn should let me know if she is on the way!

@kirinm I'm with @Tigger1987 - it's just me being overly cautious! People who exercise non-stop get pregnant all the time. It's good to be healthy - I walk 5 miles+ a day instead in my TWW!

Thanks @LeopardLover and @Tigger1987 I am not as active as I should be anyway. Not having to commute for work can mean I get no exercise at all if it's a bad day at work.

Anyway, I'm definitely out. Started spotting just before I went to bed. I'm glad to be out of the not knowing stage. I honestly think I might not test next month (I know, I know but I can try and kid myself for a bit).

Good luck to everyone else. I'll be on the August thread but will keep an eye on this thread too!

@kirinm I know what you mean, being sat down with no commute is the worst!!

Sorry to hear you're spotting but like you said, at least you know AF (might) be coming soon.

I've seen how hard testing has been on you and the others, I don't think I'm going to test this month unless no AF. It's too emotional!

Hey. Can I jump on here? Last cycle I had a 9 day luteal phase but this time, 9 days was today and no AF yet. Feeling very crampy all day and nauseaus so maybe she will arrive tomorrow but at least I have lengthened my luteal phase a day if that's the case. If Af doesn't show up and I assume I magically have a 14 day luteal phase I will be testing on the 16th. Congrats on the positives this month already! X

I caved and tested...BFN at 10dpo

@kirinm Sorry that spotting has started, glad you are able to think about the next cycle rather then being stuck in 2ww limbo.

@SS123456 Still plenty of time 🙂

@svc11 Welcome to the group!

Another BFN for me today so just waiting for AF. My temperature is still up on my bbt chart which is cruel as it is giving me a little hope. My ovulation was 3 days late so I expect my period will be 3 days late too!

@HeadShouldersKnees yay great news, congratulations!

@kirinm ahh sorry you’re out

@tigger1987 how many dpo are you? I don't really understand charts 🙈 I feel like it would just be another thing for me to get caught up on so have never looked it up too much.

6dpo here today so in official symptom spotting territory haha

@SS123456 @Tigger1987 Looking at your charts, I have such a good feeling for you both! Plenty of time to get that BFP.

@HeadShouldersKnees Congratulations to you!! 😊

I've had pre-AF pains all during the night so expecting to pop to the next thread tomorrow morning. Such a shame of course but I've had a lot of stress during the TWW with big things in my life happening, so not completely surprised... An April baby would be pretty cool anyway 😉 Best of luck everyone!

@leopardlover cramps could be a good sign as well though! You're not out yet.

I've started with a bit of cramping at 6dpo, just looked back and had the same last month so going to assume I'm out already 🙄

Congratulations to those with positives! So sorry to those with Af arriving :-(

I'm around 5/6 dpo. No real symptoms as of yet apart from feeling a little nausea earlier this morning and so tired- slept 9/10 hours the last two nights but thinking it's a bit early for a symptom. Probably just a busy few days!

Hello everyone can I join this horrendous July TWW? Currently 8dpo but symptom spotting mad and tracking bbt. New to all this so but ttc number 2 for a year now and losing the will 😣

@whambam89 Implantation likely hasn't happened yet so you're far from out!! 💜

@krj2608 Gotta love a bit of nausea and being overly tired is a great sign - fingers crossed for you!

@Geyser33 Welcome! Your BBT chart looks very positive so this could be the month. 😊👌🏻

@LeopardLover Keeping everything crossed 🤞🤞🤞

@leopardlover just weird that I've started with cramps the same dpo as last month, I have quite a short LP (10 days average). I'm just feeling much less positive now! 😢

@whambam89 I have the same lp as you 9 or 10 days, which I'm feeling a little sad about. Hoping the longer I'm off the pill the longer the luteal phase lasts?!

I caved 🤦‍♀️
10DPO today and I've just taken a test. I'm sure I can see the faintest line??
