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 ❤️

Hey gang! Started light spotting so counting this as CD1 cycle 3. Due to ovulate around 25/07 with AF on 09/08.

@SS123456 Sorry to hear you're feeling so rubbish. I know you mentioned it on the other thread, so perhaps look into private semen analysis if you can afford it? I had a quick Google and saw a local fertility centre charges £90 for a sperm test and £150 for a more advanced one.

Hi, hope you don't mind me joining. I'm ttc after mmc. This will be cycle 3 as af has reared its ugly head 3 days late (I'm never late) though since my mmc in April I now don't get sore breasts a few days before af and my cramps were never as strong as they are now since my mmc. It's like my body has had a weird change.

@SS123456 Glad you found the link ok. I know it's hard but try and stay positive. Treat AF as an opportunity to pamper yourself.

@LeopardLover welcome back, sorry July wasn't your month but at least we're all in it together. Have you booked your much awaited gym session yet?

@Lynz2020 Welcome to the group and sorry to hear about your mcc. After reading last months thread it seems nobody's body stays predictable when TTC! It may just be that we're all in high alert looking for symptoms and indicators.. sending lucky thought for August 😊

@Sansa87 That view is gorgeous. I hope the time away is exactly what you need x

Question on opks. I normally ovulate around CD19 and usually get completely negative opks until they go positive, sometimes with a ‘high’ result the day before the peak but never any earlier.
I just did one (CD11) and got a very high result (not peak). I’ve told DH that we need to get busy tonight just in case.
Does anyone else get random high results way before they ovulate? I’m wondering whether I’m just going to ovulate really early or if it’s just a random surge.

@BuckleUp I downloaded the app, got super excited and... NOPE. You can only book 7 days in advance. Better luck next time 😅

Thinking of you Sansa87. What a beautiful view
😍 Hope you manage to enjoy your trip away xx

Thanks @LeopardLover and @BuckleUp 😊. @sansa87 I hope you are ok x

Evening ladies,

Cycle day 9 for me. Hoping this will be a good month for us all. 🤞

Hey is it ok to join?? Af due 7th july here. Plan is to hold out til then to test. Tested at 11dpo this cycle and got a faint but very visible positive then followed up with bfn the next day. Not sure I’m as desperate to test early this month

Really hoping we can get on the August bus but day 35 now and no sign of AF coming. I was really sure I'd ovulated - got static smiley, EWCM and felt generally out of sorts - though so it can't wait for ever! Or can it?

TTC our second and waited 4 months from when we wanted to start trying for AF to restart, and now suspect my cycles may not regulate for a while. Does anyone here take Agnus Cactus?

@LeopardLover Oh no! Well maybe you can book next week then 😉

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet good evening! I think we're matching again, I'm on CD9 too. When is AF due? I have slightly short cycles so due 31st July. Hopefully this month is a lucky one!

@LT103 welcome to the group 😊. I find it easier mentally to just wait until AF shows up rather than testing. I can't help but symptom spot though!

Evening @BuckleUp. Yep - think I’m due AF on 31st also going by the last few cycles.

Testing with the clear blue digital ovulation tests from tomorrow. 😁

@FoxtrotOscarPoppet That's good, I'm not the only one hitchhiking in the August thread a little early! Good luck with the CB OPKs 😊

So I started bleeding yesterday (11dpo) but strangely my BBT has not dropped 🤷🏻‍♀️. Am I kidding myself that it could be late implantation?

Hi,
Jumping on the August bus if that's okay. I'm currently TTC baby #1, cycle 3.
I have short cycles(22-25 days) and short LP, trying to extend this by taking vitamin B complex. I also take the pregnacare, evening primrose oil and track BBT.

Due to ovulate around the 13th and AF due 2nd.

I have just had a word with the OH this morning and spoke about needing to up sex this cycle haha, so we shall see how that goes.
Looking forward to seeing some BFPs!!

@SS123456 I have had the same this month where my BBT has stayed up at the start of AF, however CD4 it has started to drop again now. But could be implantation, see how it is tomorrow and if AF gets heavier x

@Blossom428 thank you, I'll see how it goes tomorrow! Just poas to check and it was BFN

@Boc86 I'll be refreshing on Saturday! 😊

Actually slight spotting in my CM didn't manifest into anything so AF should be here today! I actually wasted a test because I was a bit curious but BFN. Just want it to arrive now!!

@BabyH88 There's this group for getting your head around the lingo, but the rebel in my might start a one woman writing in words revolution! 🤣

I'm the same - waiting on AF so we can try for August. Don't have any notably symptoms so might be waiting a awhile. On CD 35! Friday will be 14DPO so hopefully it'll come by then. FX you get something today.

@RMarieClaire Oh it's so boring, isn't it! I'm 15 DPO today. All my apps tell me something different - Femometer thought I was due yesterday, Clear Blue says today, and Fitbit thinks tomorrow. Haha.

Hopefully AF will arrive for you ASAP, too! What is Agnus Cactus? X

Well it’s cycle day 10..... I did a CB Digital ovulation test and it’s gone straight in with a peak fertility smiley?!
Guess I know what I’m doing this evening. 😁

Babydust wishes to you @FoxtrotOscarPoppet
