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 ❤️

@LeopardLover Sounds like we might be! I do hope AF doesn’t come for you though. So looking forward to our house move, we’ve been in process since March so it’s a long time coming! When do you think you’ll be in yours?

Spoke too soon, started getting cramps now.. @leopardlover @MrsB2019x might be joining you with AF😭

@duckii Haha glad I'm not alone in wanting to save that precious FRER 😉

@BabyH88 Fingers crossed this is THE cycle for you.🤞🏻 I'm 15DPO today but cramping - expecting AF today unfortunately which means I'll be onto cycle 4... 4 is my lucky number though and I'd love a May baby so not all bad 😉 Just ready to crack on with the next cycle!

@MrsB2019x Eeek! I hear you. We had our offer accepted in Jan and there was no chain.. But didn't get keys until June - so we're in the middle of a big reno project! Hoping we'll get there by end of September - we've just started fitting the kitchen but it's a big ole process. Is yours all ready for you? 😊

@whambam89 NOOOO 😔 Hopefully they aren't AF cramps!

Thankfully my covid test came back negative but struggling to consider DTD when I've got a fever and it is 30 degrees in the house. If we are going to try this month then we need to start tomorrow but I think we will have to see how I feel. At the moment, it isn't looking likely.

@LeopardLover It's not over till AF arrives 🤞🏻 for you x

@kirinm Thank goodness it's not COVID but hoping you feel better soon. DTD in this weather is for the brave!

@BabyH88 Thank you! ❤️ How are you feeling about this cycle? X

Ahhh nooo @whambam89! I hope it’s not AF for you!

@LeopardLover It will be liveable yeah, lots of stuff we want to do to it but we will be able to stay there while we do the work. The owners moved out in June but our solicitors have been so awful that we’re only getting to the end of the road now?! If you do get a BFP next cycle that’ll be really good timing so you can relax in your newly done up home!

@LeopardLover I am feeling surprisingly relaxed but I'm no where near my 2ww ask me then and it may be a different story lol. I think we have giving ourselves a much better chance this month dtd everyother day.

@LeopardLover @MrsB2019x cramps didn't stop me picking up some tests in b&m though 🙈 honestly don't know why I do it to myself!

BFN of course... Midday wee at 10dpo I think it would be a miracle to be positive even if it was going to be 😂 definitely think I'm out for the month though now, which is fine actually. I think I'd feel really guilty starting a new job and not telling them if I was pregnant so on to next month!

I think my cm is going a bit more egg whitey! Fingers crossed for a peak in next few days.

Pray for me tonight when I have to try and dtd 😩 I literally don’t know how to do it.

This may be the least enjoyable sex I’ve ever had 😂

Ahh ok @duckii this is my first time having them today so not sure on any numbers yet how her with short luteul phase and brown bleeding for 5 days before AF I’m fairly positive it’s a progesterone problems

Ah thank you @MrsB2019x

Oh no sorry you’re feeling rubbish about it @SS123456 I’m only 3 cycles in but it’s awful

Thank you @LeopardLover I really hope I’m wrong but it’s following the same pre AF pattern as every other month :(

Oh exciting @whambam89 I really hope AF doesn’t arrive x

Oh gosh @Sansa87 BD in this heat!!

@sansa87 I really feel for you! Not sure what it's like where you are but we're meant to get rain here around 7 ish and then it's meant to cool down so fingers crossed it's the same for you!

Bring on this storm that keeps being promised 😂

We really need a brand new thread don’t we 😂

Hi everyone!!

Just catching up after 2 weeks offline! I went away to Centerparcs for a week, completed a 10k race and set up my classroom for September (well unless Boris throws in a curveball!!)

Congratulations @Buckleup @Rotagilla @luckyflash @svc11 @BronzeSilverGold13. Wishing you all a happy and healthy 9 months.

Congratulations on the new job @whambam89

Good luck tonight @Sansa87 this heat is unbearable!

I really hope all of us due AF in the next few days have some good luck!!

I am currently 11DPO (well I think I am). I seemed to have 2 peaks this month but I think I eventually ovulated 1st August which was 6 days later than predicted. Not sure what is going on with my body but the only thing I did differently this cycle is use preseed and take Pregnacare (which I used when I conceived my son). After googling I saw Pregnacare has caused some ladies cycles to go a little peculiar. Do any of you take any supplements or any that you would recommend?? My BBT has been weird this cycle and has barely increased other then the initial rise to show ovulation but today it went up. Symptom wise I can’t stand the smell of the cat litter tray and keep gagging, stabbing feeling and have had cramps on and off for 2/3 days. BFN this morning on a FRER. Well I thought I could see a hint of a line but OH thinks I am a lunatic!! I think the craziness of my ovulation meant we didn’t DTD on the correct days but you never know! Really hope you are all well. :)

Anyone else in fw? I am now, due to ovulate on Sunday but it’s soooo hot and oh is so tired from work. I just can’t see it happening. Hoping we at least manage the weekend!!!!

@LT103 yes I am in my FW due to ovulate Saturday/Sunday according to two different apps. We are going away this weekend to the peaks so that will be nice and will help distract me going into the 2 ww.

Are you doing anything different this month? X

I’m still tracking opk and tempting but I thought there was no harm in trying the different food things so drinking pomegranate juice and grapefruit juice and have some pineapple core frozen for after ovulation. Fairly sure none of them actually help but I feel like I’m trying something haha

What about you? @BabyH88

@LT103 I am taking pregnacare and trying to limit caffeine and alcohol. Who know what helps but if it makes you feel like your doing something then there's no harm. X

My app isn't letting me start a new thread for some reason - keeps crashing every time I go to select topic... Anyone else able to do it before we get full? ☺️
