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

Hello! I'm new to all this! Iv been trying for 8 months now and haven't gotten anywhere! I am 3 DPO and I'm starting to think what if there is somthing wrong :(

Hiya hun! Aw don't worry. Apparently it's normal for it to take up to a year or even longer! Every month there's only about 30% chance of falling pregnant! Good luck! Xx

How do you stop yourself from thinking every little thing is a symptom?

I'm on 3DPO and got a heavy dull ache feeling in my pelvis. Just turns out I needed a wee 😂🙈 god this is going to be a long wait! Trying to keep my cool.

I'm feeling the same. I'm aware that you know it's normal for these things to take a while, but always the case isn't it. When you decide you want somthing, you want it last week! 😂 I've been trying since feb, but really when I properly look I havnt been proper proper trying up until this month. So hoping for all of us we get the results we want!

@louise1997 honestly I hate it! Because I got caught within a week with my first I thought I would be pregnant by now! Just the heartache of coming on every month it's horrible.

When you want somthing so bad it makes you ill and Iv stopped with testing all the time as I don't think it's very healthy for me personally as I get so upset over it!

Hope all is well with you xxx

@andpeggy1 when we find the "right time" Iv never happens 😭😭 I sit and think of all the reasons it might not be happening and then I just get obsessive so I just need to learn to switch off just easy to talk to other people who are going through it! Hope your okay xx

Lol bless you!! 🙈 I am in the same boat! Was feeling sick yesterday but I know it's far too early and implantation hasn't even happened yet😩 also had a really really vivid dream last night which went on for ages and ages, kept waking up and then falling back into the vivid dream and that rarely happens and now I'm thinking, aren't vivid dreams a sign of pregnancy 😂😂 Don't know what to think anymore! Xx

I'm having cramps today and have been convincing myself something is happening, but looking back at my period tracking apps it does look like I sometimes get cramps at this stage in my cycle 🤣 it's hard not to think about it!!

How many DPO are you now?

@SLT90 sorry I just re read that we are the same day PO! Lol

When are you testing xx

@louise1997 I'm just going to wait until AF does or doesn't show. Meant I only had to buy one test to confirm pregnancy last time and then a twin pack of digitials to double check that it was progressed from 2-3 to 3+! I'd imagine if I had tests in the house I would want to test early, but it's a long enough time to the 12 week appt without finding out super early 🙈

Just did an opk today and it's stronger than the last couple of days! Will maybe keep doing them this cycle and see what happens!

@SLT90 I've had cramps on and off since yesterday too- no idea why as too early for potential implantation and definitely too early for af so who knows 💁‍♀️

Also have a headache I can't shift today- but that's probably a sign to drink more water lol x

@teaandcrumpets95
Glad I'm not the only one with the cramping! It doesn't seem to be there today 🤷‍♀️ can't believe I'm falling into symptom spotting already despite it catching me out in the past 😅

Good morning everyone!
Another morning, another DPO closer to being able to test 😬
..... another day of pretending I'm not symptom spotting because it's too early whilst closely examining every niggle and twang!

What date is everyone testing!
AF due 22nd for me.
Would love to try and hold out till then otherwise I can see myself going POAS mad and the break from doing OPK's has been good for me... but it will take all my will power.
Or DPO10 is the 18th.

When do you all plan to test? AF due date or a certain DPO?

@hormonalhandbag AF hopefully won't come this weekend/Monday and will test on Monday (13 DPO). Baby dust to us all 💕💕

@hormonalhandbag
I'm not 100% when my period is due (think it's around the 18th) but going from ovulation I'm planning on testing either 20th/21st which is 13/14dpo for me x

Key word 'planning' lol, I don't want to test early tbh as it'll stress me out, kinda wanna see if period comes by then x

@hormonalhandbag
AF is due 20th August according to my Premom app, so I'm hoping to wait until a little after that to test if AF hasn't shown up. Last time I got my BFP I waited until the longest my cycle length had been just in case I was just late (was always around 28/29 days but was as long as 34 days once), really didn't want to be disappointed!

Its hard this time as my cycles have been stupidly long since coming off the pill! Don't want to wait until like 40 days 🙈

@wannabeamummysobad ooo that's quite soon how exciting!
Fingers crossed for you xx

@Teaandcrumpets95 thank you. I'm keeping track of "symptoms" in inverted commas because I can't be sure they aren't psychosomatic ... cramping, tiredness, vivid dreams.
Counting down the days

Hi ladies, I thought I'd hop on as I haven't joined a TWW thread in a while! I'm TTC #1 and this is cycle #8 - I honestly didn't think that it would take us this long, yet here we are 😩 TTC is so disheartening! AF is due on the 22nd which also happens to be my birthday! I'm not an early tester and always wait for AF to arrive - I was 1 day late last month which obviously got my hopes up but then AF randomly arrived with absolutely no PMS. Ovulation was slightly later too this month (CD16 instead of 14) so I'm not 100% sure what's going on but I'll go with it!

Hope to see lots of BFP's this month 💖

Morning!! I've also been having vivid dreams, haven't had any other real "symptoms" tho.. I have had slight cramping on my left side which lasted about a minute but I know it's probably nothing 😩 I'm currently 5DPO and testing a week today on the 18th when I will be 12DPO, and it's also 2 days before my period is due on the 20th. Xx

Hi @Bee44 👋 fingers crossed this is your month!!

Good luck to you!!! 🤞🏼✨

Af is due 22nd for me too! I'm not planning on doing an early tests cause I don't have them about anyways. Planning that if af is late by 5days then I'll test. Fingers crossed she doesn't show up! I'm kinda trying to pretend that it's not worked cause I don't want to get my hopes up. Even though all I can think about atm
Is, if this works abs everything goes well, we can do a big family announcement at our Christmas family gathering and that would be really lush
