The July Pact....

[Rotagilla]

Thou will not get stressed.

Thou will symptom spot casually and not obsessively.

Thou will not test before 12dpo.

@ss123456 @kirinm @leopardlover when people say just forget about it and it'll happen I don't know how you can just not think about it 😂

Sore nipples still today, was asleep before 10 last night even though I had a nap until 3 and also had a banging headache ... Not getting my hopes up though, absolutely not 😂

Sorry that I can't really join in all of your chat yet, I'm not that up to speed on everything, If that makes sense! Haha! I'm learning from you all 🤣😃 my LH peaked on Monday but we only DTD Monday and not yesterday, did I miss the best time to DTD? Argh!!

I definitely don't feel "right" today, not sure it's because AF is about to show up though. Feeling a bit shaky / dizzy and heartburn is back as well, along with a bit of a dodgy tummy. This time tomorrow AF could have shown up so I suppose just another couple of days to get through to know either way... Sorry for being annoying and spamming this thread with probably nothing symptoms 😂

Test, test, test 😉

@whambam89 those sound like encouraging signs! Though I know what you mean about not getting hopes up. I feel like every month I get a new set of symptoms that just end up with AF arriving anyway! When is AF due?

I've had weird cramps for the last 4 days. Not constant, just coming out of nowhere and gone just as fast, maybe once or twice a day. The first day I noticed was on Sunday when I felt a weird pulsing twinge in my groin area on the right (I was driving at the time) then same on Saturday. Then yesterday I was in Sainsburys and had stabby sore cramping for the length of time to walk up one aisle! I've also had a cold sore appear yesterday which is so random! No tests in the house and I'm not buying any until at least the weekend but going to try to hold out till Monday.

@kirinm haha I'm really not tempted to test, only have a clearblue test in so would rather wait than get an evap and get my hopes up because I know what they're like for that!

@mm26 AF is due tomorrow or Friday, I have a pretty short LP since my ectopic although I've been taking supplements which may have extended it this month, not sure! I feel the same, I'm sure every possible pregnancy symptom is going to be thrown at me as a pre AF symptom before I actually get a BFP again. I had that same pain yesterday and the day before, like a shooting pain up through your uterus?! Probably only lasted a few mins each time but definitely noticeable. When will you test?

@mm26 sorry just seen you're going to try and hold out until Monday! I'll be 12dpo Saturday so may test then if AF hasn't shown and I'm still getting "symptoms"

@whambam89 sorry to hear about your ectopic. Yes! I definitely felt it like that at one point. It's a weird one to describe. Like you, trying not to get hopes up and I'm also convinced I'll have every "symptom" possible but not have a BFN. 😂 I'm definitely not as frantic about testing this month as I was last. Like you said, I'd rather hold off and be sure than squint and agonise over an evap! AF not due for me until a week on Friday now as my app keeps changing, so I think the weekend is possibly even too early for me to think about testing. I'm probably better waiting till next week I think!

@mm26 I'd focus more on dpo rather than when AF is due so if you're 12dpo by the weekend then there's no reason you couldn't get a positive!

Just had a nap with DD and woken up feeling sick and a niggling headache starting again like yesterday. I feel like it's way too early to have nausea as a "symptom" so I'm assuming it's pre AF nausea and she will probably be right on time tomorrow / Friday

I think I’m out this month! I had a positive ovulation test on Friday and on Monday I started bleeding and still going? Well it’s not red it’s sort of brown?! I thought might be ovulation bleeding but seems like a period? Just really light!

Anyone know if that’s possible to have a period so soon after a positive ovulation?! I’m so confused and wondering if anyone has had a similar experience

@Fraane have you taken a HPT? OPKs can sometimes pick up pregnancy

@whambam89 sorry I am new to this thing! HPT?! I’m useless with the abbreviations it’s like a new language 😂

Keep us all posted when you test ladies! 😁🤞🏻. I'm 13dpo and so unsure if I am on my period or not as weird as that sounds! I have had light spotting for the last 3 days and today my tummy is a bit my crampy. I am assuming AF will arrive properly tomorrow and my bbt will drop in the morning too 🤷🏻‍♀️

@fraanne home pregnancy test :)

@ss123456 how strange! Hopefully AF doesn't turn up in full flow 🤞

@whambam89 so I have taken one this morning and it’s a bfn however if I’m going by the ovulation test I am only 6/7dpo today anyway! I might take another test next week as a just incase!

@fraanne might just be one of them weird cycles!

How's everyone else this morning? @leopardlover @ss123456 has AF made up her mind yet?

Morning @whambam89 😊

I had AF cramps last night (although no proper bleeding yet) but my bbt has started dropping this morning so I am definitely out now sadly 😔

How are you doing?

.

@ss123456 sorry that it looks like AF is going to show :( even worse when our body tricks us and gets out hopes up!

10dpo now last 2 cycles AF has shown up today so we will see. Still got sore nipples, my gums are hurting this morning and I'm really gassy, headache is back too. I do think AF will show up in the next couple of days but will be happy if she just stays away until Saturday meaning my LP will have at least got a bit longer.

@babyyno2 how are you getting on?

@krj2608 how are you doing? If I remember right you're a similar dpo to me?

Hello 😊 sorry I've been quiet we are away this week on a mini holiday.
Really good thank you - I am 4 weeks pregnant and have my 1st meeting booked in with midwife.
I have had no symptoms whatsoever - I know it's still early but feeling like my normal self!
The only symptoms I had with my DD were very sore boobs but I've had nothing. I didn't have any sickness throughout my pregnancy so hoping for the same this time around 🤞
So just goes to show everyone is different and sometimes having no symptoms is also a good thing.
How are you feeling?

@babyyno2 great news, hopefully you won't get any symptoms again this time then!

I'm ok, AF due today and have actually not tested yet for I think the first time ever haha. Have had a few symptoms but not looking into them too much because it seems to happen every month. If AF doesn't show I'll test Saturday at 12dpo (my LP has been pretty short recently)

@whambam89 Morning! I've just had some brown spotting, hopefully it's the start of AF and not anything more sinister - CD30 now! Xx
