August Cycle Buddies??

[louise1997]

Hi all I am currently 1DPO.
Anyone else entering their TWW?
or if you're further along in your cycle how many DPO are you and do you have any symptoms?
My period is due 20th of August.
Xx

Ladies... time moves so much slower in the TWW right it's not just me? I'm 9DPO despite ovulating what feels like 53059 days ago?! How is that possible? Low-key losing my mind.

@XxBlueBoxX sorry, I'm tee total so my brain completely bypassed that as an issue 😅

@SisterA I’m the same as you- today is 9dpo. This is the longest two weeks of my life. Zero symptoms my side- not feeling too lucky this month! Couldn’t help myself and took a ClearBlue super early detection test (can take 6 days before missed AF) and a BFN...
Any symptoms so far your side?

@HopefulMaama I'm having some cramping since yesterday evening but not sure if I've made that up in my head. Otherwise nothing. I've got a terrible cold just now though so feeling super run down regardless.

I'm not really feeling hopeful either! AF due a week today... might do a test on Sunday...

I got a cold and sore throat before my bfp with this one and with at least one of my other pregnancies. It's what made me think I was this time 🤞🏻

How interesting @Ems2021! Maybe your body prioritising implantation and pregnancy over general health? Keeping my fingers crossssed!

@wannabeamummysobad congratulations on your BFP!
Yes, I think I just need to put it out of my head and live life as normally as possible (easier said than done haha)

Hi everyone 👋 so many BFP's on here! Congratulations ❤️ I'm just joining this thread, hopeful it will be lucky for me too!

This is my first cycle and first time trying so it's all quite overwhelming and I've been ready for a while now so wanting that BFP immediately obv 🙈

I'm not tracking my ovulation just yet as I don't want to get too stressed about it all but according to my watch app I'm due AF on the 26th and have DTD 3 times in the supposed fertile window so we'll see. I have a long cycle usually around 33-35 days and it's been a bit odd since having the vaccine but I'm hopeful it will level out again. Do you all find it more reassuring to use OPK's? I know a lot of people say they ovulate earlier or later than their apps say and I'm slightly worried I'm not ovulating due to no EWCM most months but then I don't want to get obsessed with testing and worrying which will make me stressed and probably impact conception anyway! It's a minefield!! I get other symptoms like sore boobs and a bit of cramping mid cycle so trying to use that as a positive instead?!

Morning ladies! Congrats on everyone with BFP!! This is sooo encouraging to see!! Hoepfully many more to come this and next week!

I'm either 9 DPO or 8 DPO today, and completely agree with whoever said that it feels like I've ovulate 57867 days ago LOL. Same! I had a moment of mild insanity and tested this morning with FRER. Nada. White as white can be. I don't know what possessed me. Will try to be sensible and hold off on testing over the weekend...but we shall see.
I just am noticing so many "symptoms", I feel like something is different, but then again I could just be in my own head...

@Emz861 hello and welcome! I'm super new to the TTC world (like cycle 1 new), but I use an app to track my period (Flo) and have been using it for maybe the past year, the more I track things there, the more accurate it gets over time. I've used the ovulation tests from Clear Blue (the purple ones) last month before starting to try just to see if my app predictions are correct or not, and they were spot on. I used a few ovulation tests again this month when we actually started TTC and again - the sticks and the app - spot on. So I think going forward, I'll just go by the app and not bother with the tests because I feel like I've now "verified" that the app is 100% correct with its predictions.

Hope this helps!

@Shterber thank you! Yes that helps a lot...I might do the same in that case and just check for a few months and see if it correlates. I hope the symptoms you're experiencing are due to a BFP but if not fingers crossed for us both over the next few cycles!

Finally home from my little holiday and got reading back over the thread. So many BFPs 🥰🥰🥰 congrats all!! So exciting. Also hello to everyone joining in 👋

I definitely recommend going off grid on a busy holiday with babies/toddlers for the second week of the TWW because I'm suddenly 14DPO and that time flew! AF was supposedly due today and no sign yet. I feel like it's not imminent and I just have a low level nausea and quite a lot of bloating that feels familiar from my first pregnancy so I'm feeling like I'm in with a chance! I was so tempted to buy a test in the airport on my way home and surprise my husband when he picked us up but I managed to rein myself in and will wait another couple of days I think so I know if AF is def a no show as my cycles have been longer (just seemed to ov earlier this month than previous since coming off the pill). I think Monday might be my test day 🤞

@SLT90 ooooo that sounds promising fingers crossed 🤞 xx

Sounds very promising @SLT90! How exciting. Time has slowed down completely for me and I feel like it's been 6dpo for weeks! Testing is a long way away for me

@SLT90 hope you had a good holiday and good luck for Monday, all sounds like you're heading for a BFP 🤞

Thanks ladies, fingers crossed here too. Bit crampy this morning which I know can happen either way so it's driving me a bit crazy. I was completely prepared for it to go either way as its only cycle #1 but now that I feel a bit hopeful I'll be gutted if AF shows a little late! May end up caving and buying a test today to put me out of my misery 🙈

How's everyone doing today?

I am ON EDGE being a super crazy symptom spotter but just can't help myself. AF due Friday but going to do an early test tomorrow am because I absolutely have no patience nor self control.

I have decided I'm going to test tomorrow and I will be 12DPO.
Yesterday's test was inconclusive as the line came up after the time so I'm not reading anything into it.
Good luck to anyone else testing over the next few days.
I think I am going to paint something in my house to take my mind off it today 😂.

Hi Ladies!
Really thought I was out this month with zero symptoms and a negative early test on Thursday.
However, this morning (10dpo) I woke up with very painful boobs (very unusual for me) so got a whole bunch of tests and they all came out positive- totally shocked!! Very happy and excited but will have to wait for next week to make sure AF doesn’t arrive before getting my hopes up too much...

@HopefulMaama massive congratulations!
So many BFP's which is lovely to see 🥰

@HopefulMaama congratulations 🥳 xx

Congratulations @HopefulMaama 🥳🥳

So I've just done an OPK as AF still not here and we haven't got to the shop yet today. Its given a strong positive. Def not ovulating because its CD31 and my cervix is closed, so I'm starting to feel pretty confident about getting a BFP!! Have to get a test!

@SLT90 ahhhh that’s so exciting!!!! Fingers crossed it all goes well and you get the BFP! Keep us posted!!! Sending baby dust your way xx
