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 ❤️

@whambam89 Agree with getting more chill (for now 😅). Oh no, hopefully it's not an infection! CONGRATS ON THE JOB!! P.S I've started getting cramps 😭

@BuckleUp Oh gosh, I'd miss my oats if I were you haha. Hopefully it won't last long.

@kirinm I'm so sorry you're feeling rubbish. I hope your test is negative and you start to perk up soon!

@claireb707 Really pleased you're feeling better and have something to look forward to! 11 days off work is DREAMY.

@SS123456 Staying positive for you!!

@MrsB2019x I can completely relate!! May is a wonderful month for a new arrival though 😉

@MrsB2019x I think I'd feel a bit mean doing that but also they're perfect hours and will be great to go back to after mat leave so I don't think I'd really have much choice!

I feel more positive now back home because oh is just wonderful.

Hopefully we will dtd tonight

Can’t believe we’ve nearly filled this thread.

Congrats on job @whambam89

@whambam89 congratulations on the new job! I'm sure they'll be understanding. I've been in mine over 6 months now but dreading telling them because I've not been able to properly learn my role yet because of Covid! You'll be great 😊

@LeopardLover do you usually get cramps pre AF? Could be early pregnancy cramps?

@Sansa87 thank you! Sounds like your OH is a gem 🙂

@BuckleUp thanks!

Me accepting that I’m out this month went well...

I’m thinking this is probably an evap because I had a completely blank white Clear Blue this morning (one of the early detection ones). But it’s giving me a straw to clutch onto!

I forgot I was on this thread!
I’m 6dpo and pretty sure I’m out due to the cramps I’m getting, I get them every month around this day as AF is due in 3 days due to my stupid short luteul phase
And now I can’t try until December :( I’m so so gutted

@MrsB2019x I can see something! Hoping it's not an evap for you 🤞

@Boc86 you're not out until AF shows.. everything crossed for you 🤞

@whambam89 I didn't used to but I did last month 😭 They lasted 3 days too! Meh.

@Boc86 Hopefully they are just implantation cramps!

@MrsB2019x I can totally see something! Crossing my fingers for you! Xx

@LeopardLover I hope the cramps are a positive sign. I had cramps a few days before and after my BFP, they felt like mild AF cramps.

@Sansa87 Your OH sounds super supportive. I'm pleased today was better than yesterday

@MrsB2019x Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

@Boc86 Aww I'm sorry hun. Hopefully it's not AF, you never quite know for sure until she does..

I've not posted in a while since I've been feeling so low about ttc and getting nowhere.

I think I'm 12dpo, and a very BFN! I expected this though as only managed to dtd twice in FW. But I had my "day 21" blood test results back, last month was 12.5, this month was 37.2. So I was feeling a bit hopeful.. now to wait for AF and start the soy isoflavones I have heard so much about.

How's everyone else doing?

Morning all!

@BuckleUp Unfortunately my BBT is falling gradually. Ugh! Slightly higher than last month but definitely not trending upwards and going down ready for AF! Glad I didn't waste a FRER. 😅

@duckii Sorry I think I missed this and I'm clueless about blood test results! Is it possible it's just too early to get your BFP? X

@LeopardLover I'm not sure, I have started getting cramps and sore boobs so I was thinking i should test. Maybe it's AF on her way. How are you? What stage are you at?

6th flashing smiley here 😩 maybe my body has jumped back quite as quick as I’d hoped.

The only positive is we have only bd on day one of the flashies as it’s so damn hot so if I do ovulate we still have time to dtd

Thank you @BuckleUp @LeopardLover and @whambam89
I feel so rubbish :( so upset just feel like I know AF is coming
7dpo, progesterone bloods today

@duckii can I ask how you got the day21 bloods more than once? I want mine checking a few times really as I know they can fluctuate

Ahh no hope AF doesn’t show @leopardlover

11dpo and I think AF is on the way. I'm almost at the point of giving up ttc now, nearly a year of this is really taking its toll 😩

Can anyone recommend an online sperm test at all? I used an online company last month to check my bloods and all came back fine so I guess I'll need to get my partner checked at this point too

@Boc86

Thank you *@BuckleUp* *@LeopardLover and @whambam89* I feel so rubbish :( so upset just feel like I know AF is coming 7dpo, progesterone bloods today

@duckii can I ask how you got the day21 bloods more than once? I want mine checking a few times really as I know they can fluctuate

Ahh no hope AF doesn’t show @leopardlover

My gp is in the process of referring me as it's been a while TTC and I may have endometriosis. I've had the bloods done before a while ago but Gp said they need a recent one done. So last months test was low so had to be repeated again this month. What is your result usually?

Morning ladies,

BFN on IC and FRER this morning so definitely out and awaiting AF’s arrival tomorrow (though for the cramps I’m having I think it’ll come today). Moving onto September! Moving house & wedding anniversary coming up in the next 2 weeks so lots to keep me busy until the next FW.

Hope AF doesn’t show @LeopardLover @Boc86 @SS123456

@duckii I had mine checked last cycle and they were 25 which They said is normal. I found this to compare

@MrsBtobe2020 sorry to hear about af

@BabyH88 How are you doing? Exciting you'll be trying for one more month at least! A little baby at the wedding would be dreamy 😉

@duckii I always think there's hope with those symptoms! I'm 15DPO today but my BBT has been falling gradually. It took a few days into AF to properly dip last month! I only have 1 FRER so I'm saving it 😅

@Sansa87 Lots of people have loads of flashing smilies before peak so hopefully the weather has a chance to cool down first 😉 Hope work is better today!

@Boc86 I get the disappointment 😔 - but hopefully it's unjustified for you this time! Fingers crossed!

@SS123456 So sorry to hear you're feeling like AF is on its way. I think AF will arrive for me today too. I can't recommend SA but interested to know any recommendations from others!

@MrsB2019x Oh no. I'm sorry 😔 Unfortunately I think we're going to be AF twins but your September sounds fun! We might be moving in to our new home too if all goes well - distractions are good and a May baby would be CUTE. I love the month of May!

Hope everyone else is doing okay and coping with this heat 😅 What a week for house renovation!

Morning everyone! Hoping AF doesn't arrive for those thinking she will be here in the next couple of days x

I still have no symptoms, no cramps etc. I thought my boobs had stopped hurting yesterday morning but by last night they were sore again and I couldn't lie on them. I've purposefully not logged any "symptoms" on my apps this month though because I was trying not to become as obsessed as previous months. My longest LP since my ectopic has been 10 days and I'm on day 10 today so will see what tomorrow brings!

@LeopardLover me too. I have 1 FRER left.. I'm not wasting it lol

@LT103 thank you, that's reassuring. So at least I ovulated this month.

@LeopardLover Yes we are really excited to have another opportunity just dtd everyother day and hoping for the best.

🤞🏻 for you, how are you feeling this month?
