Hello, just a new thread for August...will add people as and when they finish with the 'July pact'

I think it's important to have a relevant thread once you are looking forward and gearing up for the next cycle...
Or chat turns to tww's when we will want to start chatting about ovulation again...

Will run both threads alongside each other ❤️

Did an OPK just so I can work out when we can stop DTD! It's blank today so will do it tonight and that should hopefully be us covered.

Blossom428 · 23/07/2020 09:18

5th day of flashing smiley today. Usually ovulate on CD13 which was yesterday. So I'm a little confused with what's going on. My IC OPKs are not showing up anything either.
I hope I ovulate this month...
The one month that OH is totally on board with DTD when I want it and not feeling pressured 😩

LeopardLover · 23/07/2020 09:41

@RMarieClaire That was a long one - hope you're okay! This is THE month!

LeopardLover · 23/07/2020 09:45

@kirinm Well done for persevering!! One more sounds good.

Rotagilla · 23/07/2020 10:01

Morning ladies...
Will do the spreadsheet today...
But quick question...
I have the clear blue digital tester...that says it will detect the 2 best days.
I've been testing each morning and yesterday morning I got my first smiley face, then this morning it was blank. Why did i only have one fertile day?
Has anyone else had this?

@Rotagilla I think you're meant to only test until you get your peak. When it detects your peak, it is saying the next 48 hours are your most fertile. I think anyway. Mine went back to blank this morning after a peak yesterday morning.

Rotagilla · 23/07/2020 10:24

@kirinm oh! Thankyou! That makes sense 🙄

@Blossom428 keep going. My ovulation day seems to vay each month. Last time I used opks I didn't get peak until cd18 and this month is was cd13.

Blossom428 · 23/07/2020 14:57

Thanks @ARIO ... this POAS is costly business haha! Hopefully it will arrive soon and then I will be in 2WW. I actually think waiting for ov is worse now 😂🙈

FoxtrotOscarPoppet · 23/07/2020 16:28

How are you @Sansa87?

Sansa87 · 23/07/2020 16:39

Thanks for asking @FoxtrotOscarPoppet I’m feeling exhausted. Having the odd stitch like cramp but I’m not sure I could even consider it pain.

EPAU rung me earlier and said to leave it 48 hours and If it still hasn’t progressed the they will look into surgery under general anaesthetic

MrsB2019x · 23/07/2020 18:31

Gonna be exciting seeing this thread blow up over the next week or two with all the ov happening at the moment!

CD8 for me atm, due to ov 29th July.

Hope you’re all okay 💕

stickytoffeepud2412 · 23/07/2020 18:40

Evening ladies how is everyone??
God I forgot how painful AF is when you haven’t had them in a while. I had one last month it lasted 2 days was quite pathetic. This one well it’s had me doubled up and I’ve had to take codeine 😢. Day 4 of AF so should hopefully finish tomorrow! Then can get busy planning to baby dance 💃🏼! 2 night shifts to get out of the way first 😴😴
Xx

BuckleUp · 23/07/2020 18:57

@stickytoffeepud2412 aww! I remember working night shifts when AF was visiting - it's truly awful. I hope the pain eases for you 🤞🏻

@Sansa87 look after yourself, hopefully the doctors will have you feeling more comfortable soon x

MrsBtobe2020 · 23/07/2020 19:13

@Blossom428 I totally get you! Never once thought too much about ov and now it's all I can think about 😄 not technically due til sat but already convinced myself my body doesn't work properly!

stickytoffeepud2412 · 23/07/2020 19:24

@BuckleUp I’m just glad it didn’t happen on night shift cause I couldn’t even move yesterday. Thankyou for your kind words!

@Sansa87 so sorry about what’s happened lovely I have just read and caught up. Are they potentially looking to do a D&C? Thinking of you sending you love xx

Lettie365 · 23/07/2020 19:27

Hi Ladies,

Have been reading through various posts, may I join you please? Currently around 5DPO and it’s dragging 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Made worse by FRER arriving in the post this morning but must not test as waaay too early!!

Sansa87 · 23/07/2020 19:34

I believe so @stickytoffeepud2412 is that the operation With the suction? Considering I first had worries the pregnancy wasn’t viable around July 4th, this is dragging on a lot.

Blossom428 · 23/07/2020 20:00

@MrsBtobe2020 haha exactly!! It's driving me insane. I had a slight line on an opk at 5pm, so I hope it's the start of something and in the next day or 2 🤞🏽🤞🏽

LeopardLover · 23/07/2020 22:07

@MrsB2019x CD8 here too and OV due day after. 😊

@stickytoffeepud2412 Awww, I hope your pain eases soon.

@Blossom428 Fingers crossed static arrives tomorrow!!

LeopardLover · 23/07/2020 22:09

@Sansa87 Thinking of you. Hopefully you won't need surgery xx

MrsB2019x · 23/07/2020 22:48

@LeopardLover Sure we’ll be symptom spotting together then 😂

stickytoffeepud2412 · 24/07/2020 02:25

Yes lovely, usually under GA. when did they say theY would make a decision? 20 days is a long time! Definitely should of been done earlier!!

@LeopardLover
thanks lovely 😊 doing okay tonight think it’s coming to an end xx

Boc86 · 24/07/2020 07:36

Think this will be the last day of my period
5 days of bleeding brown then just the last two days of red and today back to brown - is that normal? Same last month - chemicals both months too so many be it’s that.
I definitely think my lining doesn’t thicken if I’m having such short periods

Oh well onto the ovulation wait, hoping to ov cd17 and not cd19-21 like I have been
It was cd17 last month so hope that carries on, or comes even further forward!

Blossom428 · 24/07/2020 07:47

Yay finally a static smile!! Never been so happy to see that 😂
Jumped on OH this morning, but may try push another one in tomorrow too.
Finally feel like we've done it in the right time, last time we kept missing it as OH wasn't up to it.

Will wait to see a rise in bbt in a couple of days
