August - might be a pact....might be madness

[Rotagilla]

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 ❤️

@Boc86

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!

My periods are 2-4 days with normally only 1 red day. So I'd say perfectly normal but it depends whats normal for you

Didn't DTD last night. After a week of awful sleeping (DD) i needed an early night. I think we are probably okay though. Started on CD8, first peak on the evening of CD10 and DTD on CD10 and 11. I had such bad bloating on CD11 I think I probably ovulated then but I'm not sure.

Fingers crossed for you @kirinm 🤞

@kirinm Sounds like you did a lot!! 🙏🏻 We're TTC #1 and I'm definitely too tired to start until CD10 (tomorrow) so I take my hat off to you 😉

@Blossom428 Haha loved that you jumped him! Fingers crossed.

@kirinm you’ve covered the most important days!! Fingers crossed!!

Oooh that does look like a congratulations is in order..!

Can anyone else let me know if they are experiencing dizziness?!
I Ov on Tuesday/weds and felt terrible - had to lay down on weds (thank goodness I'm wfh!). Went to bed last night at 2100 as just could not stay awake. Today the dizziness is back. Room spinning at times.

Surely far too early to experience anything tht would be considered a pregnancy symptom?!
Anyone else experiencing this?

@bh2210 I get dizzy when I ovulate some months. Last month it lasted longer than usual and I convinced myself it was symptom. It obviously wasn't! Hope you're feeling better soon x

@Boc86 my period is usually 3/4 days. This month i started spotting Monday, quite light flow Tuesday morning then it progressively got worse and was like that until yesterday morning and it finished last night!
Xx

I'm so bloated. I used to bloat after ovulation but haven't since I had my DD. Really hope this is a sign I've made a good egg or there's a shit load of progesterone flooding my body.

Oh that’s good to know @claireb707
Short and sweet @stickytoffeepud2412 haha

I'm tempted to do another OPK tonight. I feel like I've got ovulation pains but my peak was days ago.

@bh2210 I too had dizziness on my first month TTC but sadly it wasn't anything 😅 It is an early pregnancy sign for some!

@kirinm Oh how interesting, fingers crossed it is a good sign 😉

@LeopardLover did another OPK and it's blank which I'm relieved about. I've read that some people get a peak but don't ovulate and the body gears up to try again so I was wondering if that was happening but apparently not.

@bh2210 @kirinm I had mega bloating, right side pains and dizziness after my ov last month for about 4 days I was so convinced i was pregnant. I don't usually get that so I don't know what was going on last month. The body is such a tease. I hope it's more positive for you guys.

I'm just 1dpo today I think and seriously bloated. I'm still doing opks though just incase I didn't ov... My temp rose yesterday morning but came down again today so who knows. Could be anomaly I guess.

I'm only 1dpo! I was worried I hadn't ovulated rather than think I was pregnant. Far far too early.

I go solid smiley this morning so now for 3 days in a row 😂🤞🤞

Has anyone else noticed issues with the femometer app and taking pics of opk tests. Since the most recent update this week it's stopped showing the test and I just get a blank box where the test should be. 😩😩I've messaged them and they said it could be network issues but it's only done it since the update. Its fine whilst generating the result but when it gives a score the test has gone

@kirinm I've never even heard of that, that's a pain but glad it's not happening to you.

@claireb707 Haha get it girl!

Got my first flashing smiley today, it's on! 😉

@LeopardLover apparently it can happen but thankfully not the case for me. I really couldn't be bothered to DTD for another couple of days straight!

@ARIO my temp always drops the day after it rises and goes back up, every month without fail, so I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. Hopefully it’s back up today for you.

I’m 4dpo and determined not to symptom spot this month. Feeling completely normal so far. I’ll be on holiday on test date so hopefully will be able to see it as a positive outcome even if it’s bfn so I can drink lol

@ARIO @LuckyFlash I seem to have the occasional anomaly with my temps. I had a big drop 3dpo last cycle then it went straight back up. Think you have to look at the main trend. I’m 3dpo this cycle and just had a gentle rise in temp last 3 days but all above cover line so 🤞

What’s the earliest realistically you will notice symptoms? 6 or so? I’ve had really sore boobs and nipples since yesterday which is so not normal for me unless Just before af. Like so sore, wearing a bra hurts!!

Thanks guys. Temp down still today so thinking I have ovd yet. Perhaps that peak reading on cb was wrong because I tested in pm rather than am. Tested again yesterday and it was negative and this morning I have flashing smiley! So confusing but going to just keep bding and hope for the best.

@LT103 I think symptoms can only realistically occur once implantation has because the body doesn't know its pregnant until then.. but that can happen as early as 5dpo

Oops haven't ovd yet*

@ario might be that you’ve tried to ovulate when you got your peak but now gearing up to try again. This is why I think temp is useful!

I haven’t been checking temp for long. This is my last 2. This month it’s definitely not as big a peak yet but hopefully up enough???

@LT103 they're great charts! Really clear ov.
