TTC AUGUST (Fertile window mid august!)

[FlorenceO]

Hello just a thread for people to hop onto and chat - let's hope we all get out bfp at the end of August or beginning of September 😬
Sending good luck to all xxx

Hi all, hope it's ok to join.

I'm on 10dpo, I went through 3 days of cramping and nausea but fine and feel normal again today. Has anyone had similar? I'm hoping it's not a bad sign that it's stopped...

Welcome newcomers!

@jennaxc yeah I had cramping which has completely disappeared now, although I’m only 7DPO. When are you going to test?

Anyone else feeling really ‘wet’ down there? This just started yesterday (6DPO) for me and I’ve read mixed reviews on what it could mean but it seems like it could be a good thing?

@Kg87 7DPO here too! Haven't noticed any 'wet' feelings but I've seen them talked about quite a lot which makes me feel worried that I don't have that haha 😩 But then equally I think about those people who post their BFPs having had no symptoms at all and I feel a bit better!

I'm 9 DPO I think
AF due Friday/Saturday
Fighting the testing temptation

So real symptoms other than more sensitive nipples😂 but that could just be AF coming

My plan is to test Friday morning before I go to work -- as long as AF hasn't turned up anyway !

@somanystars Yeah it’s so hard isn’t it! I’m constantly comparing symptoms, I’m worried my boobs feel completely fine but I know everyone is different. Dying to test today but I’m trying to hold back 😂🙈

@Kg87 Oh yeah I did an IC this morning haha so don't worry, I get it! Negative, obviously, but I wasn't expecting anything else! Going to pick up some FRERs today though to use on Friday!

What time are you guys testing with cheapie opks? I feel like my lh is really low in the afternoon but darker with fmu. However the pack days to test between 11am and 5pm. Any thoughts?

@somanystars haha I may do the same when I get home from work later! I ordered some cheapies last Tuesday that still haven’t arrived so maybe that’s a sign I should wait although I have 2 cheapies left and a FRER at home 🙈

@Kg87 I kinda feel like it satisfies the urge a bit without any of the expectation because it's still so early! Mind you I had another look at mine and there's a wee evap line on it now. It's way outside the time and I couldn't even get a positive this early but I'm choosing to believe it's a good sign hahaha

@stepmumSW5 I used the CB advanced in the mornings and only ever got flashing smileys until I ran out and I used the cheapie OPKs from around 11am-8pm testing 2/3 times a day. I’ve only got a positive LH 2 out of 3 cycles and they were at 1pm cycle 1 and 2pm cycle 3. I completely missed cycle 2 LH surge as I wasn’t testing during the day at the time

@somanystars I know what you mean! I think if you get a negative now it doesn’t hit as hard! Oo but that sounds promising!! A friend of mine got a positive at 7DPO and now you’ve done one I’m so tempted haha 😂

@Kg87 Ooh that changes things! Haha, but on the other hand, I've had a few false positives in the past so I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. I might well be pregnant (just had to come back to bed with a headache and thinking I'll have a nap) but not sure that test really indicates anything 🤣 I do keep taking it out and looking at it though.... a gal can dream!

Hello all,
How is everyone doing?
I m 6 dpo today and lot of sticky CM and bit of nausea. Not sure if it signifies or I m j ut st overthinking it 🤣🤣

@somanystars yeah I had vivid dreams and spots appearing on my face yesterday and today, could be nothing but fingers crossed 🤞🏼 I kept looking at my positive OPKs as well 😂😂

Hi all, hope there's room for another!
I'm on my second cycle ttc our first baby. Used opks this time as I was on the pill for 11 years previously (came off in May) so I'm not at all familiar with my own cycles!
Had a very very close to peak result yesterday afternoon and a clear peak this morning. Suspect I'm ovulating today as I've got mild cramps which I always seem to get around ovulation.
I'm rather enjoying the science of it at the moment 😁

Hi all, glad to be joining this club!
We're 35, I have 2 kids from a prior relationship and he has 1 from a prior. So we're looking forward to extending our beautiful blended family.
I had my implant removed at the start of this month and already have had my first period.
I'd desperately trying not to get too bogged down with over thinking to all and just enjoy the process...but I know I have an addictive personality so I can absolutely see it taking over my life!! 😂

@Kg87 You know what, I always have weird dreams but I do feel like they've been extra unsettling this week! And spots too - I have one on my shoulder and one on my stomach?? 🤔 Hopefully this is it for us!

@igloo92 I'm cycle 1 and I know what you mean, it's exciting in some ways to know more about what your body is doing! 😊

@Waitingforbabypage I think a lot of us on here get a bit obsessive about it, you're among friends! 🤣

@Shinea Oops, didn't see your message there! I haven't noticed much in the way of CM at all, hoping that doesn't mean anything for me though!

@somanystars funny how weird this symptoms spotting is! We spot happening not happening everything so much 🙈🙈 hopefully we get our bfp soon. Btw, when are you going to test?

@Shinea my CM seems quite watery and a lot of it?!

@somanystars just found 2 more spots 😭 hoping this is a good sign otherwise I’ll be furious if I’ve got spots for no reason at 29 😂 so I caved and I just did a cheapie HPT and was negative, obviously, I thought I’d do an OPK as well just for fun and that was nearly positive?? What’s going on!! 🙈

@Kg87 spotting seems positive sign! How many dpo are you?

@Shinea oh no I meant spots as in acne 😩 I’ve got three achy spots on my face which I never get! I’m 7DPO today!

@Kg87 oh sorry for misunderstanding!! Acne yeah that I have read main reason is hormonal imbalance which is quite common in early pregnancy let's hope it's just the same for you 🤞🤞

@Shinea no worries! Yeah I’m trying to find evidence online that shows acne happens in early pregnancy and I’m ignoring everything that suggests it’s PMS 😂 (although it’s more likely
PMS) fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Shinea Hope so! I'm going to pick up a couple of FRERs and test on Friday (11DPO)... can see myself caving and doing one earlier though 🤦🏻‍♀️ Especially after my evap on this morning's IC!

@Kg87 Ooh that seems like a good sign, from what I've read on here OPKs can sometimes pick up pregnancy hormones! I'd do the same but I'm out of OPKs haha.
