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 ❤️

Thank you @MrsB2019x and @BuckleUp 😊

@SVC11 My BBT usually drops the day before AF is due (I've had one cycle in 12 months where it dropped the day AF came). My LP is 12 days so not as short as yours, but still shorter than average. This cycle my BBT stayed high which prompted me to test when AF also didn't show. It sounds promising! Keep us updated, sending baby dust ✨

Yay @Rotagilla and @kirinm congratulations x

Thank you @BuckleUp x

Thankyou ladies 😊
So scared to get excited because I know it's early days...
AF would be due today.

I thought I'd test today with my frer and that would be it, not I want to buy mores tests and watch it darken!

Congratulations @Rotagilla and @kirinm amazing to see some BFP!!

I'm back to CD1 today 😞

@SVC11 I have sort LP also- you might want to join the short LP gang thread as useful tips on there. Usually my temp will drop the day of AF, but last cycle it took about 2/3 days for it to drop. So I think it does vary.
I've got an appt with the Gp on Friday to see if I can talk about getting 21 day bloods to check progesterone levels due to short LP. Praying they will let me have it just to get an insight if anything is going on.

Thanks all. Feeling quite crampy now and am going to try and hold out until AF is late to test again. Optimistic I know!

@Rotagilla are you going to get another test? I have ordered FRER but they don't come until the weekend by which point AF will officially be late so I bet I end up not using them!

@Rotagilla @kirinm Oh ladies, I'm so happy for you! Those are two clear lines!! 💜

Hmmm, I have brown spotting again. It is very light but if it is implantation related, how long is "normal" to have it?

@kirinm I think up to 3 days is "normal" but I've also known people to spot for weeks x

@whambam89 thanks. I feel like it might be the start of a miscarriage/ AF (not sure what to call it)! Wish I could just fast forward to Thursday when AF is due.

@kirinm really hoping that it's all ok for you 🤞

Anyone else get a really heavy feeling in their uterus after ovulation? Definitely not symptom spotting already as I know 2dpo is far too early to have any symptoms but just wondering if it's normal?

@whambam89 I did last month! Only month it’s ever happened, I was so was convinced I was pregnant ☹️

@whambam89 I'm 5dpo and have had this along with some lower back pain. I hope it's a good sign x

@MrsB2019x I can't remember ever having it before but it's been annoying me all day! I'm convinced I'm not pregnant but was just wondering if it was "a thing"... Guessing progesterone related?

@ARIO fingers crossed 🤞 although it couldn't be a pregnancy symptom this early, my body basically has different symptoms every month I've come to realise! I've actually turned the symptom sections off on my apps to try and stop me being obsessed this month 🙈

I’m not sure which is worse, the wait for ovulation, or the 2ww!

I’m going to take a pg test in the morning, though i think it will still test positive. Last night I was ahem in the mood, which was the opposite of how I felt whilst pg, so not sure if good sign. I think the bleeding has finally stopped too.

@Sansa87 I definitely say waiting for ovulation. It’s such a nothing week where nothing happens, you have no symptoms, you’re too far away from testing to get excited haha

@LT103 this is what I’m thinking. It doesn’t help that I’ve always been 27/28 days, but I don’t know when I’m going to ovulate, & I don’t want to waste the clear blue tests 😂
Determined to get the bfp for our rainbow baby in next few months x

@Sansa87 Hope this is you moving forward in the right direction! You’ve been through so much. I’m sure you will get your sticky rainbow BFP soon x

@whambam89 I’m assuming so, progesterone had a lot to answer for last month! 😠

My temp has dropped this morning 😢 am not hopeful

@sansa87 fingers crossed for you! you have so much determination, let's hope you the next few weeks speed by so the wait isn't too hard x

Sorry to hear that @claireb707

I'm not testing again until AF is late. The faintness of the test sent me in a downward spiral of panic yesterday so I'll just try and wait. AF due either today or tomorrow.

Sounds like the best way to go @kirinm, saves you the heartache. Hoping it doesn’t show up 🤞

I had a really weird dream last night, I took a pregnancy test but instead of two lines coming up a picture of a cow appeared in the testing window? Like the laughing cow? 😂 took it to my mum and she was like ‘you’re clearly pregnant I don’t know why you’re questioning it’ 😂😂 noooo idea. Felt sick as soon as I woke up but only lasted briefly and think it was because of the dream. Only 6DPO so trying not to read into anything too much!

Holy moly... Can anyone else see it... 9dpo and got af symptoms as due on tomorrow.... Not gonna get excited until I don't come on... Pink test taken yesterday and ic taken this morning... Both taken within 5mins x
