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 ❤️

Happy Sunday ladies so we have decided to TTC for one more month meaning if we conceive we will have a baby at our wedding with the uncertainty atm who knows if the wedding will even go ahead!

App said I will ovulate on the 15th
AF is due 29th

Last month was so wrong with AF coming a lot earlier than I thought I think we will just DTD as much as we can and hope for the best.

CONGRATULATIONS to all those with BFP's! This is such a lovely group.

@LeopardLover Thanks, I'll let you know if it comes back up tomorrow. Good luck with the DIY! I'm back to sanding that blasted windowsill today (by hand this time). Hoping to get it ready to paint next week! What do you have planned?

BronzeSilverGold13 · 09/08/2020 14:46

@Rotagilla oh absolutely I could have sworn I had every symptom known when I was first TTC it was so difficult to not get my hopes up every month! I keep checking my tests to make sure they still say BFP haha

LeopardLover · 09/08/2020 16:57

@BuckleUp Oh gosh, hope it's not too difficult in this heat - it's warmed up here!

Self-levelled the kitchen floor today now painting it all with a paint gun 🤣 We start fitting the kitchen next week!! At least it'll be cooler next week for painting!

Sansa87 · 09/08/2020 18:11

I’m trying to remind myself it’s easier dtd in this heat than trying to keep a new born cool... then remembering the heatwave we had in in April/May 😩

I’m going to need extra fans!

BuckleUp · 09/08/2020 18:46

@LeopardLover Ooo exciting! It'll feel so good to get that new kitchen in! We're still waiting on the glaziers before we can carry on 🙄

whambam89 · 09/08/2020 19:11

@sansa87 I don't envy you at all. I've somehow managed to avoid the hot weather over my FW for the last couple of months, thankfully!

MrsB2019x · 09/08/2020 20:11

Honestly can’t even cope in this heat!! 🥵 I think even if it was our fertile window I’d be skipping this month!

whambam89 · 09/08/2020 20:14

@leopardlover sorry if I've missed you saying but have you tested yet?

whambam89 · 09/08/2020 20:15

@MrsB2019x it's horrible isn't it! Are you going to test again in the morning?

MrsB2019x · 09/08/2020 20:17

@whambam89 Depends - if I feel sick again tomorrow morning like I did last night and this morning then yeah. If I don’t I’ll leave it a couple of days - AF due Thursday. When are you testing?

whambam89 · 09/08/2020 20:20

@MrsB2019x I have a pretty short LP so even though AF is due the same time as you I'm only 7dpo at the moment so will be waiting until the end of the week if AF hasn't shown!

Sansa87 · 09/08/2020 22:05

WHY IS HE TIDYING WHEN HE STILL NEEDS A SHOWER AND WE STILL NEED TO BD AND OUR ALARMS GO OFF AT 5AM!

Arghhh

Also, I’m back at work tomorrow. I was medically suspended when I told them I was pregnant, so I’m absolutely terrified of going back. They now all know why I’ve been off. I just don’t want to do it

A lot of gin has been had tonight.

LeopardLover · 09/08/2020 22:35

@BuckleUp I can't wait! So excited to get tomorrow done as I have the rest of the week off. Ugh, such a pain! When are they coming?

@whambam89 Na, I won't test until AF is late. Unless I'm hit by nausea before haha. I only have 1 FRER! So we should be testing at the same time. 😊

@Sansa87 Oh no! Hope you get to BD soon so you can sleep. Also hope work goes okay tomorrow x

MrsB2019x · 09/08/2020 23:11

@Sansa87 You poor thing I really don’t envy you. Sleeping in just pj shorts, DH just turned to me and said “you’re driving me crazy laying there with your top off”. ABSOLUTELY NOT SUNSHINE. ✋🥵 Good luck for your first day back x

@whambam89 Hope you manage to persevere more than I did, I started testing at 8dpo! 🤪 I need to be a better pact member next time 😂

claireb707 · 10/08/2020 05:30

I think I'm out, BIG temp drop this morning 😢

Stupid body, I hate this feeling

BuckleUp · 10/08/2020 06:09

@claireb707 Aww I'm sorry hun. You never quite know for sure until AF shows though.

@LeopardLover That'll be a nice break for you 😊. No idea, they came for final measurements a few weeks ago and I haven't heard anything since. I'll probably chase them up this week..

@MrsB2019x That actually made me lol 😂

My BBT has shot back up this morning so I'm going to assume it was a blip and I shouldn't read so much into everything.. Stupid bodies!

BronzeSilverGold13 · 10/08/2020 07:52

@Sansa87 I'm probably too late but Good luck today!

@MrsB2019x that made me chuckle!!

whambam89 · 10/08/2020 07:55

@sansa87 hope you go on ok back at work today x

@leopardlover that's some strong willpower! Have you had any symptoms?

@MrsB2019x I've got no tests in so actually can't test, trying my hardest not to buy any at least for another couple of days. No real symptoms either yet - boobs are a bit tender perhaps and I'm slightly bloated but that's all

whambam89 · 10/08/2020 07:56

@BuckleUp great news that your temp is back up!

BuckleUp · 10/08/2020 07:58

@whambam89 Thank you 😊. I'm dead impressed with your willpower to not test! How many dpo are you now? Fingers crossed this cycle is a lucky one for you 🤞🏻

Rotagilla · 10/08/2020 08:04

@Sansa87 good luck back at work today x

@Sansa87 hope everything goes ok today

Sansa87 · 10/08/2020 08:08

Thanks girls. I’m hiding and crying. So far so good 🙈😢

whambam89 · 10/08/2020 08:27

@BuckleUp I'm only 8dpo, I have a short LP so AF would basically be here by the time I feel like it would be acceptable to test anyway! I also just didn't feel like I was very fertile this month so I think it's unlikely that I'll be getting my BFP... We'll see!
