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 ❤️

So two weeks since the pg started going wrong and I first went to hospital.

I haven’t had any bleeding in the last 12 hours which is good. Annoyingly had some pg symptoms yesterday which almost gave me hope 😔

Still in hayling island and now worrying I’m going to miss the ovulation and fertile window, but I also don’t want to bd with the in-laws In the same house 😬

Going home tomorrow so will need to do a pg test then an ov test.

Thanks so much @Rotagilla - next time you update the doc, can you please change me to OV: 30th July, AF due 13th August? AF only just arrived today (late 😅) xx

LeopardLover · 16/07/2020 12:52

@Sansa87 This must be so hard on you. Not long until Monday, hopefully it's good news. Xx

RMarieClaire · 16/07/2020 13:12

@LeopardLover I'm glad AF showed it's face. On to August 🤞 still waiting here but had some cramps this morning so surely surely can't be much longer.

LeopardLover · 16/07/2020 13:44

@RMarieClaire Thank you! Hope yours arrives soon OR ideally, you get a BFP 😊

claireb707 · 16/07/2020 14:46

Ovulation for me due 27th, period due 10th August

kirinm · 16/07/2020 15:00

@blossom my fertile week will start on Sunday. I have a 26 day cycle and based on OPKs this month I ovulate on CD12 so my fertile week starts on CD8.

SS123456 · 16/07/2020 15:16

Thanks @Rotagilla! When you get a chance please can you update me to ov: 31/07 and AF: 13/08. Thanks! Ovulation day is our anniversary so pretty good timing 😊

bh2210 · 16/07/2020 15:48

Thanks @Rotagilla

AF due for me on 8 August and window should be starting 20th. Smile

Blossom428 · 16/07/2020 16:03

@kirinm yes mine will be around then too.. although I've just started taking vitamin B complex so I hope that doesn't push it back. I'm just hoping it lengths my LP as that has been only 9days.

Wiggleinherwalk · 16/07/2020 16:36

Hello!

This is my 1st time joining a thread but feel like I really need some positivity for this month!

33 and TTC 1st baby, got pregnant in Jan on our first try but then had a MMC in March, which took a while to recover from. Now going into my 5th cycle trying following the miscarriage.

AF turned up on 14th July, window should be starting on 27th July, hoping to test 15th August onwards (20/08 is our wedding anniversary, so keeping EVERYTHING CROSSED this month might be the month)

Just really hoping to get a BFP before my previous due date in September, so poor DH has been warned that he's got to step up this month Grin

MrsB2019x · 16/07/2020 17:19

@kirinm Sorry for your further losses, so glad you had your girl in the end though! Definitely gives me hope ☺️

Thanks for adding me to the spreadsheet @Rotagilla ☺️ Whenever you next update it you can put me down to ov on 29th July. I’m not counting cycles really because of the ectopic in the middle so don’t know what counts!

MrsBtobe2020 · 16/07/2020 22:31

Thanks for adding me @Rotagilla Smile ov 25th July and AF 9th Aug!

5rosebud · 17/07/2020 08:23

@Rotagilla OV 25th July and AF 9th August Smile

BuckleUp · 17/07/2020 08:36

@Rotagilla thanks for updating the spreadsheet, it's nice to see where we all are. Hope you're not finding work too frantic!

whambam89 · 17/07/2020 12:55

Hey everyone, officially joining the August thread! AF turned up this morning. Ovulation due 2nd August, AF due 13th August. 3rd cycle lucky hopefully 🤞

LeopardLover · 17/07/2020 13:57

@whambam89 Ah, sorry to see you here! Hopefully August is THE month. We're AF due date twins. 😊

whambam89 · 17/07/2020 14:34

@leopardlover both on our 3rd cycle too! My pact this month is to stay off Google, stop logging symptoms on the 5000 apps I have because they clearly don't mean much anyway and not buy any tests until 12dpo (by which point AF would actually be late anyway). August WILL be our month and April is a great month to have a baby!

LeopardLover · 17/07/2020 16:35

@whambam89 Oh that's right! We're in it together 😊 I'm going to stay off Google too - although I feel like I've learnt so much in the past 2 months, I probably won't need to look anything up 😅

April is legit the best month!! 💜

Sansa87 · 17/07/2020 17:01

Oh really wanted an April baby to begin with.

On way home from hayling now. Really not looking forward to taking this pg test, but need to get that bfn so we can start again

Purplefairy25 · 17/07/2020 17:41

Onto cycle 2 after a 112 day cycle. Currently cd8. If I have a normal cycle af is due 5/6 August, Fitbit has put me down for the 17th. Will see what opks say. Fingers crossed for a normal cycle or a bfp

Sansa87 · 17/07/2020 18:00

Bfp getting fainter. Was thinking it would be a negative by now.

Does this mean I won’t be ovulating just yet?

August - might be a pact....might be madness
whambam89 · 17/07/2020 18:14

@sansa87 I'm not sure, sorry - I would assume not though x

LeopardLover · 17/07/2020 18:15

@Purplefairy25 I hope you have a more regular cycle this month.

@Sansa87 I don't want to give you false hope but did the Dr say you could still be pregnant? I know you have tests Monday xx

Sansa87 · 17/07/2020 18:25

@LeopardLover there is the tiniest chance. Technically my scan 2 weeks ago showed possible progression, & my blood tests only showed 16% rise over 48 hours, but better than falling levels. (They went from 2500 on the Thursday, to 2900 on the Saturday) There was also no sign of miscarriage on that day of scan.

Since then, apart from the spots, all pg symptoms have gone, I was bleeding consistently for 10-12 days, whilst not heavily, it was consistent.

I have no hope it was a viable pregnancy, but I had hoped it was an early miscarriage that was happening naturally, and that is maybe ovulate soon.
