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 ❤️

CD15 today, finally got my positive OPK so I’m enlisting DH tonight 😂 Ready to join the 2WW madness now. How is everybody else doing? x

@MrsB2019x got a week to go until af is due... Been takin b vits to try and increase my luteal phase though so hoping it might be a little longer. I'm 3dpo right now. Fingers crossed this month xx

Exciting @MrsB2019x
Which b vits and dose do you take @SVC11

First month TTC and losing my mind googling symptoms and pregnancy test videos! Think I’m 7DPO based on OPK testing and AF due anytime in the next week - trying to hold out testing for a few more days but losing my willpower!
Would love to join you ladies for the journey 😊

@SVC11 Hopefully that works out for you! Is it 10 days usually then? x

@Lalje94 I’m 3rd month ttc and the symptom spotting doesn’t get any better 😂😂. I try and convince myself I won’t do it then I’m googling all sorts of nonsense haha. I’m also 7dpo. Planning to hold out til Saturday to test but we’ll see haha.
Do you have any symptoms?

Yeah @Boc86 usually 10 days which isn't long I know... Only 3 months off the pill so maybe still settling and I hope it increases

@LT103 Every morning I force myself to pee really quickly so I don’t have time to test 😂 and then by mid-afternoon I’m hooked on google again and annoyed I didn’t! I think I’ve been feeling some cramping and very brief nausea but half convinced that I’m imagining it... how about you? Saturday is my aim as well but I know I’m going to cave and test earlier 😬

Oh and @Boc86 it's super b complex I got them off amazon but I think you can get them elsewhere. They have 10mg of b6 in one tablet and they suggest taking two. I thinks its way over the daily recommended amount but way less than what some people take. I didn't want to take too much as it can have adverse effects. I'm going to see how it effects me this cycle and if it makes it go on and on I won't take them again... But I thought I'd see if they increase my lp... X

@Sansa87 how are you hun?

Welcome @Lalje94 💓

How is everyone doing? Bit of a setback this morn to TTC, I Started feeling really unwell last night at work to the point I got sent home. I was freezing shivering but my temp was 38, my whole body was aching felt like I had been kicked all over and I just thought it was my workout that I did in the afternoon 😂 my chest was tight and had a constant headache, so I got tested this morning and Got my results tonight to say I’ve come back positive for corona. Been asleep nearly all day - can’t even get out of bed it’s totally wiped me. 😭 and due to ovulate next week but DH won’t touch me for obvious reasons. 😅 xx

ThAnks for asking @stickytoffeepud1991

Physically I think in doing okay. A little bit of pain, but no more than period. Though I feel like I’ve got serious chest pain, so we think that I may have had to be restrained when I came out from anaesthesia. They mentioned my oxygen levels had dropped, and the first thing I remember is being surrounded by about 6 people, crying and begging for my baby. It’s the only explanation for the bruised feeling. Poor doctors and nurses.

Having a low night mentally for some reason. I’d been pretty good today, too.

I’m thinking I don’t know if I want to risk dtd In 2 weeks if I’m ovulating, & I should wait until the next cycle. I don’t think I could go through this again, & wonder if it’s because I didn’t wait for my body to heal. Just wish there was solid medical evidence on how safe it is.

@stickytoffeepud1991 I'm sorry to hear you've tested positive (not something I thought I'd be saying on a TTC thread..). I wish you a speedy recovery. Listen to your body and take the time you need to heal. Thinking of you x

@Sansa87 Do what's right for you and don't blame yourself. I hope you're feeling more positive when you wake up this morning. Take care x

@SVC11 my LP is 10 days and I’m taking 50mg b6
Oh no @stickytoffeepud1991 how rubbish for you, hope you recover quickly x

@Boc86 Ah cool. How long have you been ttc and taking the b6? If you don't mind ne asking. I wonder if 10days is too short sometimes...

@stickytoffeepud1991 blimey look after yourself, a reminder the bloody virus is still well and truly out there.

@SVC11 @boc86 my LP is 9/10 days as well (went up to 10 days last month, was 9 before that) not sure if it's always been that as I only started using OPKs after an ectopic in February and we got pregnant 2nd month TTC that time. I'm taking B complex, vit C and folic acid / vit D. I'm actually thinking if we don't conceive this month I might go back to just taking folic acid and vit D and let my body do it's thing.

Got my first flashing smiley this morning at CD14 - was CD12 last month with solid at CD16 so will be interesting to see when I get my solid this time!

@stickytoffeepud1991Oh no! You poor thing!! Definitely rest up and look after yourself. Hopefully you recover quickly so you can get back on it next month! X

@stickytoffeepud1991 oh no! That's so rubbish.. Really hope you get through it quickly and feel well soon!

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet amazing news!! Congratulations 🎉🎉

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet Congratulations!
Wonderful news ❤️

@stickytoffeepud1991 oh no! I really hope it's mild and you recover really soon!

My body seems to throw out random symptoms every month, to keep me on my toes.
But this month it's pink cm...for the last three days and now a bit of cramping.

Not really spotting, just pink tinged.
Not due af for another 5 days.

Took a test this morning...because of this symptom and got a bfn. But then realised if it's implantation then it would take time for levels to increase...

Feeling more hopeful this month because of this new symptom but also the longer it takes the more disappointed I get with each cycle.

@SVC11 only been trying for 3 months, well about to ovulate on cycle 3, chemicals the last two cycles
Only started all the vits at the start of this cycle so unsure if they’re having an effect yet

Oh no @stickytoffeepud1991 you poor thing! Hope you feel better soon!

@Sansa87 Glad to hear you’re physically recovering well, take all the time you need for your mental wellbeing 💕

@Rotagilla that sounds promising! 🤞

O day for me today so I’ll be joining you ladies in the 2WW madness soon!

Morning ladies, so happy to see more and more BFP's and sorry to hear people are having a difficult time.

I am so confused I wasn't due af till Saturday but though she had arrived 2 days ago but this isn't a normal af it has been super light literally only needed a panty liner and that was only yesterday. Sorry for the TMI but it has been mostly brown, my normal AF is usually a lot heavier by day 2/3 and I usually have cramps PMT.

Could this be implantation or is it wishful thinking?

@stickytoffeepud1991 oh no! Fingers crossed you have a very mild case and are back feeling health again soon.

@Sansa87 missed miscarriages are cruel things and i was so cross with my body when I had mine. I think I was physically fine after the ERPC but mentally it took me a really long time to get over the loss. Give yourself time.

@Rotagilla that sounds very promising indeed! Fingers crossed the spotting stops soon and you get your BFP!

I'm feeling a bit off this morning. I feel really hot and a bit fuzzy headed. I think its probably because my DD slept through and I'm so not used to getting a full nights sleep its made me feel weird. She also has a cold so it could be the start of that. Urge to test has gone as I definitely don't feel pregnant.

@BabyH88 It could be IB still. There's a link somewhere to an YouTube video. Take a look at this: - it highlights the difference between IB and AF

@Rotagilla Your symptoms sound promising and if it is IB you won't have time for the hormones to build up to detectable levels yet.

I'm due AF on Saturday and feeling crampy and spotty as usual. We'll see 🤷🏼‍♀️

@BuckleUp thank you

@BabyH88 that sounds very promising, fingers crossed for you
