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 ❤️

@BuckleUp oh really well it is a bit soon for AF - will wait it out and see.

@BabyH88 🤞🏻

Well my opks have arrived!! Good old amazon prime. 😆

Do you ever Get days when you feel down when you see someone announce they’re pregnant and then think why not me but then give your head a wobble because you don’t know the struggles it took or what goes on behind closed doors. I just had a bit of a cry to DH and he just said sorry babe. I’m obviously being irrational here and should be thankful for the DD I have.

@Sansa87 so glad your feeling better today. Plenty of rest, cups of tea and Disney +.

I’m on night shift tonight and for the next few days so I’m feeling down about that aswell as it messes up my whole week and exercising!! As I’m trying to lose weight also! God I feel like a right Pity party today 😆

Glad everyone else is doing okay. Xx

@babyh88 sounds promising that it could be implantation!

CD 12 and got my first flashing smiley this day last cycle but nothing yet this time round. I did get it with an evening test though whereas I'm trying to only test once a day this time so we'll see, fingers crossed for tomorrow

Hello everyone, I’m just lurking till the time of my ov
I hate this wait and the tww so much! Hope you’re all well x

@whambam89 I really hope so I honestly thought I was out but it was the tiniest bit once and nothing since. I don't want to get my hopes up tho. Does everyone get an implantation bleed?

@stickytoffeepud1991 Yep me!! When I was walking past all the women and babies leaving hospital as I was going in for my ectopic I had a rant to DH about it, and he told me “I really get it, but you can’t deny other people’s happiness”. That gave my head a bit of a wobble! Still gets to me though.

CD14 today, no positive OPK yet. Wtf 😩

@BabyH88 Not everyone get it and the amount varies from person to person. It's definitely common though and usually occurs around 9dpo (give or take a couple of days). It's the reason a short luteal phase can be an issue as theres less time for implementation to occur. I've enjoyed learning new stuff, can you tell?! 😂

@BuckleUp it's great you are teaching me lots as well, literally feel like I can ask anything in here with no judgment.

Although, I feel like I jinx myself every time I write something just went for a wee after a good few hours of nothing and there's more blood when I wipe so I either got my dates wrong or I have no idea what is going on. 🙁

Oh exciting @BabyH88 hope it’s implantation!

@Boc86 I hope so 🤞🏻

@BabyH88 you never know, it's not over until AF shows. And if it does there's always next cycle ✨

@BuckleUp thank you ❤️

Morning ladies! How are we all? We are in the Peak District for a few nights 😊. @Sansa87 I am glad you are ok, take it easy and rest up! I'm on CD14 and day 8 (!) of flashing smileys!! This is the second month this has happened so I really don't trust the digital CB at all, the normal cheap opk sticks are still completely white!

Morning Ladies.

Good news from me!

Did a FRER this morning and it came back positive! Did two other different tests, one of which was a digital and they’re all saying pregnant!

Wow @FoxtrotOscarPoppet those are fantastic pictures to see first thing! Congratulations! Did you have any symptoms?

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet Congratulations! That's amazing news and they look 100% positive 🥳. What made you test? Do you have any symptoms? x

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet congratulations!!

I've FINALLY been able to confirm ovulation... A week late but better than never! Judging by my peak opk last week, my body must have been gearing up for ov and failed for whatever reason so its tried again and judging by my temp spike this time, it succeeded! Officially just starting my 2WW. Just goes to show how temping can be important.. I deffo wouldnhave missed this based on opks alone.

Thanks Ladies! 😁

I felt quite crampy and really thought AF was on way.
Last night however I made a cuppa and as I opened the box of teabags they just smelled really fishy which is exactly what I had from my pregnancy with DD - all teabags for the entire of my pregnancy reeked of fish regardless of the brand. It was that that got me thinking. Very odd I know.

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet lovely news, and what a strong positive test! Really pleased for you 😊

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet Eeeek! Congratulations! Shame about tea being ruined but totally worth it 😉 x

@SS123456 Oh how lovely! Enjoy the Peak District. CB digital doesn't seem to be your friend! How odd!? 🤔 Maybe stick to the classic sticks! X

Amazing @FoxtrotOscarPoppet congratulations!
Have a nice time @SS123456 x

Congratulations @FoxtrotOscarPoppet thats a very strong line!!

Wow congratulations @FoxtrotOscarPoppet that’s a blazing positive! 🎉
