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 ❤️

Thank you so much ladies.
Currently in the bath wallowing in self pity as all I want is a cuddle and to do the baby dance 😂
Feeling a bit better the last few hours but I don’t know if it’s the codeine I have took for my aches.

Hoping for some more BFPs from you lovely lot to cheer me up xx

Are sensitive teeth a symptom? Mine are suddenly really sensitive and I just had blood in my mouth from my gum 🤢. Too early for that surely?

stickytoffeepud1991 · 30/07/2020 16:20

@kirinm
Bleeding gums is a symptom yes, as is swollen gums but not sure if that would be too early. You get bleeding gums because of the high levels of oestrogen and the high levels of blood flow.
Fx for you xx

So I tested today at 12DPO - AF is due on Sunday and very excitedly I’ve got my BFP - digis arrive in a few days so 🤞 I get to see the words then! Sending luck to you all xx

What a beautiful positive @Lettie365, congratulations! Flowers

@Lettie365 congratulations! What cycle are you on?

LT103 · 31/07/2020 00:12

@Lettie365 congratulations!! 😁

Congratulations @Lettie365 x

@Lettie365 Congratulations!! 💜

Morning all! I'm now in the TWW after a tiring week of juggling house renovation with DTD 😉 We managed 5 times, and I think OHs stamina is improving everything month haha.

I'm pretty sure I count the day after OB digital peak as ovulation, right? That would make OV CD14 (29th). Femometer has updated due to BBT thinks I ovulated on CD13, so I'm always unsure which app to trust 😅

We have a mini heatwave today, so I hope the weather is lovely where you are!

Lettie365 · 31/07/2020 07:26

Thank you all xx @BuckleUp it was our first cycle trying (sorry to everyone who has been trying for so much longer x) I stopped taking the pill at the beginning of July. All being well it’ll be our 3 😳 bit nerve wracking to see that written down!
My symptoms incase it helps anyone were not having raging PMT 🤦🏼‍♀️ I went on the pill originally to reduce my Hormonal mood swings - they were awful. I felt very calm and AF was due so I thought something might be up! Also I had a scratchy throat for the last week of the 2WW which I had with my son.

Wishing you all loads of luck xx

MrsBtobe2020 · 31/07/2020 07:50

@lettie365 ahh wonderful news! So exciting for you!

SS123456 · 31/07/2020 07:52

@LeopardLover I always record the peak opk as the day before ovulation as that is when my bbt starts to rise. I have a static smiley this morning too so I am counting tomorrow as ovulation day 😊

MrsB2019x · 31/07/2020 07:56

@LeopardLover I had a positive OPK on Wednesday so my app shifted ovulation to yesterday. Which I think is more than likely right as my boobs are sore today!

BuckleUp · 31/07/2020 08:16

@Lettie365 No need to apologise! We're all different and it takes as long as it takes. I was just asking out of curiosity, thanks for answering 😊. You'll have your hands full with three! Wishing you all the best 💐

@LeopardLover Welcome to the TWW, it's the most fun thing ever 😂. How are the house renovations going?

Quick question for anyone that tracks BBT..? What happens to BBT when you're pregnant? Mine normally goes down the day before AF arrives (tomorrow), but it's still going up which is unusual for me. I have no symptoms, except usual AF ones and am avoiding testing until AF is late. Any ideas?

LT103 · 31/07/2020 08:27

Ugh 9 dpo and started spotting today!! Last cycle I spotted for 5 full days before af arrived. It kind of ruins the excitement of whether you might be pregnant or not when you can’t even get far enough along to test. Feeling rubbish today! Get my progesterone results either today or Monday so maybe that will shed some light on things. Was feeling really positive this month as well!

LeopardLover · 31/07/2020 08:31

@SS123456 @MrsB2019x Perfect, thank you!

@BuckleUp It stays high!! Fingers crossed for you. 😊 Last month AF was 3 days late for me and annoyingly stayed high but it wasn't continuously shooting up like yours - it had plateaued! X

MrsB2019x · 31/07/2020 08:41

Oooh @BuckleUp you could be onto something there!

LuckyFlash · 31/07/2020 08:47

@BuckleUp looking promising! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you as my chart is doing something very similar! I’ve still got 4 days till I test though

kirinm · 31/07/2020 08:54

@LeopardLover I count the day after the peak as ovulation but from what I've read you can also ovulate the day of your peak - it can be that quick sometimes so your bbt is probably quite reliable.

I'm 9dpo today and have has another night of bloody awful sleep! My teeth are still feeling sensitive but nothing like yesterday so glad of that. It is hot here today - 35 degrees!

BuckleUp · 31/07/2020 08:55

Thanks guys, we'll see if AF shows tomorrow. I very nearly tested this morning after taking my temp but want to stick to my guns lol.

@LuckyFlash keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@LT103 Sorry to hear AF might have arrived. Could the spotting be IB?

whambam89 · 31/07/2020 10:09

Sounds like some really positive symptoms here this morning!

CD15 for me today and another flashing smiley - DTD last night but will probably have a break tonight because of how hot it is, then a weekend away so loads of chances hopefully..

Fingers crossed you get your static face whilst you're away.

9dpo here and still no testing or purchasing of tests. Go me!

LT103 · 31/07/2020 12:34

@BuckleUp don’t know. Last 2 cycles I had really light spotting for 5 days then af came. Nothing since this morning but I don’t think I would spot if I was pregnant? Who knows

MrsB2019x · 31/07/2020 13:50

@kirinm 👏👏👏

Also impressed with @BuckleUp for the resistance to test! 💪
