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 ❤️

I can’t see anything on the pink one but can see a shadow on the IC.. test again in a couple of days, hope it gets darker for you! x

@Sansa87 fingers crossed you get your rainbow baby 🌈

@claireb707 sorry to hear your temperature has dropped. Take care x

@kirinm Sounds like a good plan, you don't want to babe yourself sick through stress. Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@MrsB2019x Thats one crazy dream! Sending baby dust for your TWW!

@SVC11 There may be a line on the IC - looking forward to see it progress over the next few days!

@SVC11 I can see something on the IC, not sure on the pink one though - 9dpo is really early so hopefully the line gets stronger for you 🤞

@MrsB2019x what a funny dream! Hopefully it's a good sign for you ☺️

@Sansa87 can you get some cheap OPKs to use rather than waste the CB ones? Hope you're feeling ok x

@MrsB2019x Oh gosh, what a dream! 😅

@claireb707 ugh. I hope it just goes back up over night!

@kirinm Good plan to test in a while when that line would be darker!

@SVC11 I see it on the IC good luck!

@SVC11 I also see a line on the IC! Looking good x

This feels like literally the opposite of what we are supposed to be feeling.

But can you guys not see any sort of second line either?

How reliable are these sort of tests?

What happens now? Does this mean I could ovulate any day?

I’m 9 days post surgery today.

@Sansa87 I'm not sure if I can see a line or not. Do you have any pictures that are taken looking straight at the test?

I think the only way you'll know about ovulation is by testing regularly. My periods went back to normal very quickly after my ERPC but I wasn't trying for a baby afterwards so wasn't tracking ovulation or anything. If you'd prefer to try straightaway, it might just be worth testing with OPKs. It might be quite expensive but unless you get very obvious ovulation symptoms, that might be the only way to work out what is going on in your first cycle.

@kirinm I don’t have a straight down photo because of the shadow my phone caused. I’ll try and get dressed and open curtains (don’t judge, I’m taking full advantage of being signed off sick due to the mc. I worked all year 😂)

I can’t see any line at all, but I can never see squinters anyway.

We are viewing our house again tonight, so will get oh to take me to boots after and stock up on some cheaper opk’s and then use the expensive ones when I get a hint of a line.

I’m suddenly feeling a bit excited. (Then guilty for said excitement)

I feel like I’ve finally qualified For this group 😂 Instead of being the sad girl with the mmc

You should definitely stay in bed and chill. You've been through a lot. I'm in "active wear" which is just a slightly tighter version of PJs and adequate clothing to take my DD to the childminder.

@Sansa87 I don’t think I can see a line, hopefully you can move forward now ☺️ Try not to feel guilty about the excitement, it doesn’t change anything. You always qualified for this thread! x

I think I’m back at work next week so just taking advantage of this whilst I can. Plus I’m feeling quite good physically, I don’t want to push myself and feel crappy.

I can’t believe how dirty our window sills are!

I’m pretty sure it’s my negative

@Rotagilla have you taken another test?

Hello @kirinm.....love your use of 'active wear' 😂 I too am in 'active wear' just not very active!
I brought some cheap ones last night because I knew I'd worry if the line didn't darken... did one this morning and it's much better.

How are you feeling today?
Have you done another?
Sorry if you have already said, I've been back to work and need to read through and catch up!

@Rotagilla that is a fantastic line!

I've not retested. I am worried it'll be faint again and I'll just spend the day panicking. I'm going to try and wait until AF is late (I think that is Friday).

To be fair, I usually run and do a workout hence the activewear but am not really feeling up to a run. Would like to get passed AF date and then think about running again.

@Rotagilla That's such a strong line now! Congratulations 🥳 When is AF due or are you now officially late?!

@Rotagilla Look at that beautiful line!! 😍😍😍

Thankyou ladies!
I feel like it's sunk in a little more today 😊
I surprised my oh last night while out on a walk and he cried ❤️

What a beautiful line @Rotagilla

@kirinm I work at a leisure centre so get to wear active wear most days 😂 despite being rather non-active!

@BuckleUp I can't believe the difference in a day, although second one was fmu and the first one wasn't...
I think AF was due yesterday....(due to my app) although ovulation was late...so could be that it would be due tomorrow?!

@LeopardLover Thankyou! ❤️ I'm glad it's darker!

Thankyou @Sansa87 ❤️

I'm sorry I need to catch up with all posts...but what was your test today?
Was it an opk and hoping to ovulate this month?
Or pregnancy to see the levels going?
Sorry if you have already explained x

I’m not sure I even really explained @Rotagilla 😂 it was a pregnancy test. Need to get the negative so I can start taking ovulation tests. I don’t think we are going to wait until next cycle. Though I don’t think we will be going at it in a militant fashion when I do ovulate, but will only dtd when fertile so if by some miracle we for a bfp, we’d be able to pinpoint the exact dates

@Rotagilla congratulations 😁
