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 ❤️

Masses of vibes and hugs headed your way for tomorrow @Sansa87 hope it all goes well and it's over quick so you can get back to it next month xx

@Rotagilla Eeek! Fingers crossed for implantation! That sounds promising.

@whambam89 Haha, you've got this. 😊 I'm surprised my first kit will probably last this month too 😅

@kirinm @BuckleUp The gym was really good, thanks! I was unsure on Saturday (went for the first time) but it was pretty empty and everyone there was socially distanced. 👌🏻 I think we're going to be busy with the house / DTD after work for most of next week, so I'll be back on Friday. I was sweating buckets when I wouldn't normally break a sweat - I'm so unfit now haha.

Due to ovulate on 30th 😊 @BuckleUp Oh amazing, I think OH is gutted I'm not into mountain biking because he loves it - I'm just a wimp! Haha.

@leopardlover I'm glad I bought another pack while they were still on £15.20 for 20 before I even knew that last month was unsuccessful... If I can use them wisely then fingers crossed I won't have to pay £30+ next time!

Thanks girls! Had the bloods and covid test today (I was so scared of that after reading horror stories but was absolutely fine! Didn’t hurt at all, just made my eyes water, & didn’t feel normal)

I did not expect to fill out forms about what to do with the remains though. It threw me off.

I have to be in the hospital at 11 tomorrow and I’m down as a priority.

I’m still trying to figure out if it’s safe to ttc straight away. If so, I think it will be 2 weeks tomorrow I’ll ovulate.

I don’t won’t to be at higher risk of miscarriage, but also want to try again ASAP as I don’t think I’ll be lucky enough to fall pregnant as quick as this time.

Hello everyone, I was in the July thread.
AF arrived this morning, (26 day cycle this month!) so I'm out and ready to go again 😊

@kirin it's odd as I seem to ovulate 2 days later than the app says...despite all the rest being correct.
The fancy wand gave me a smiley face on 22nd...

I don't temp but each month I seem to learn more and add something new in...so maybe next month.

I've been very chilled this month, I think you do a couple of cycles of going mad on the tww! And then think 'oh bugger it' 🙄

@Sansa87 I bled afterwards but not for too long and my period came back quite quickly but I suspect you'll be advised to wait at least a month. I know that probably isn't what you want to do though. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself whatever you decide. I hope tomorrow goes as well as it can do x

@Sansa87 I just saw your comment under mine and had to read back, I'm so sorry about what you're going through. Sending huge hugs your way x

@Rotagilla that's when I first got my 'peak' but I can't work out whether that means I ovulate the next day or the day after. I know ultimately it doesn't matter but I would like to know which day I ovulated. I guess temping is the only thing that would help with that. I'm assuming I ovulated the day after my first peak so 23rd so I'm 4dpo I think.

@Sansa87 I've heard it's a good idea to wait a cycle to let your body recover...but I understand you wanting to get back to trying.
I lost at 5 weeks and conceived the very next cycle....so I assume quite fertile.
Sadly I lost again at 9 weeks...its probably just a sad coincidence but I sometimes wonder if I should have recovered in between.

Lots of love to you for tomorrow xx

@Sansa87 wishing you all the beat for tomorrow. Take time for yourself if you can xx

@LeopardLover Glad you enjoyed being back at the gym again, I'm sure your fitness will build up quickly again. Mountain biking is really fun, but I do struggle to keep up with DH - he's just so much fitter than me 🥵

12 DPO today. Resisted doing any FRERs this month and think I’m starting to get AF warning cramps. 😩

Hey ladies was on the original July pact but been away for a bit. Think I ovulated today... Tend to have a short lp so will be due on the 5th August... So we will see how it goes. Had real sharp ovulation pains this morning... I do not remember that from before the pill... Ouch!

Thanks. @Rotagilla
I have a confirmed ov by bbt on CD 15, 25th! So im now in the 2WW 🙌🏼 due to test around the 4th. Hopefully by taking vit B it will push my LP back a bit.

Hope everything goes okay today @Sansa87

@sansa87 I hope everything goes ok for you today x
Ive given up hope this month. I didn't see a peak on any opks, they sort of increased but nothing high. Did experience CM that seemed to be following the right stages though 🤞 we've dtd every other day for the last 2 weeks anyway... Does anyone have some days where they just feel really down about it like it's never going to happen even though you know that the chances each month arent all that great anyway?!

@sansa87 hope you get on ok today, thinking of you x

Thinking of you today @Sansa87.

Thinking of you today @Sansa87, hope all goes smoothly

@Sansa87

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet I hope not, fingers crossed for you...

@MrsBtobe2020 Yes I feel the same....I was excited about the journey at first and now I'm just impatient.

Fingers crossed @foxtrotoscarpoppet

I promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot and I think I'm only 5dpo max but am having AF type heavy feeling in my abdomen which I've got most months at 5dpo. I know implantation could still happen but it has made me feel a bit meh.

I too have lost any excitement I once had with TTC!

@kirinm I have the same feeling I am due AF on the 1st and have managed to keep busy up until now! I don't want to test and feel disappointed but I think I am out this month.

When will you test?

I love you girls, thankyou. ❤️

Just getting ready (led in bed drinking las glass of water) to go to hospital

@BabyH88 I was hoping not to test this month. It has such a negative impact on me last month. However, given that I've started symptom spotting I'm not sure that will happen! How about you?

@kirinm I am going to try and hold out till Thursday/Friday the problem is I have plenty of tests in the house! I really told myself I wouldn't symptom spot but now I am but i'm spotting AF symptoms rather than pregnancy :(
