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.

Hi @Lacey91 👋 you aren't out until AF shows as they say! Sending you luck!

Morning all !

I'm now 7 DPO this morning and woken up with cramp and very tingly / store / stiff nipples 😐 hoping this is a good thing!! Xxx

Is this weird. One nipple hurts more than another. It's a tingling sensation it's kinda uncomfortable. I've never had it before!

Anyone else have symptoms? Xx

@louise1997 ooooh that sounds promising!
No change to my boobies I could still tie them together and support something heavy with them and not feel a thing!

I did an OPK test this morning because I've had O type CM and thinking maybe my O is happening later than other OPK peak suggests? And BD last night just in case (which I was really in the mood for, made him BD twice, also an O indicator!) OPK Test NEG.

Do feel sicky this morning but it's early, I didn't sleep through early hours, I've got work today and I've been off forever and I'm feeling nervous about that, and I've been on here too much and that's probably making me feel poop.

What about everyone else?

No more symptom spotting for me! Had my 2nd covid vaccine yesterday so who knows what's causing what x

Just gonna have to wait and see x

But good luck to everyone 😊 xx

Thank you so much. It’s my first time ttc so I’m not putting too much pressure on my self.

7DPO here today too and nothing to report. Not sure about the nipples @louise1997!! Mine were really itchy the whole day after ovulation which I've had sometimes before but otherwise nothing. I'm still bf my son once or twice at night so not sure if I would get the same boob changes this time or not 🤔🤔

Hi guys, can I join this group? Would love some moral support. I am 34, TTC baby #2. This is 3rd cycle trying. I’m DPO no symptoms other than some spotting. Did first test today on a FRER and it was a BFN.

Sorry my comment about meant to say I’m 10 DPO. To help TTC I’m using OPKs and BBT. Only started BBT this month. Temps don’t look high enough to show pregnancy for now

I'm 6DPO and don't feel any different other than my lower back is really painful! But I actually think that's due to us DTD 5put of 7 days souring fertile week when usually we only DTD once or twice a week ( and never usually consecutive days)

Hi! Hope its ok I joined this.

I have been trying for a year now and only had 1 positive which ended as a MMC. I went down the medical route which failed and ended up in with a emergency d&c:( This was through covid lockdown and god what an awful experience.

So my ovulation day is predicated as this Tuesday 17th! This is my first month using ovulation tests and its showing a rise today but not as high as it needs to be.

DTD- so whats best? Should we dtd everyday now haha or shall I wait for my 'peak' and go from then?

Hoping this month will finally be my month🤞🏻x

@louise1997 I have the exact thing it’s my both boobs are tender but my right nipple is so sensitive and tingly ! Also been having cramps on and off last couple days and a weird feeling in lower pelvic area.

@EmL98

so sorry for your lose I had a MMC with my 1st pregnancy then couple months later had my daughter all was healthy she’s now 6.

And this was my 1st month trying using ovulation strips I was low then it jumped up couple comments back I’ve attached my chart we DTD the 2 days it stared rising along with peak day and ovulation day so 4 days in a row and I’ve already had a positive test now 8DPO !
Best of luck to you sending lots of baby dust

@Laurie95 Wow that is amazing! You must be so happy❤️ You've definitely made me more hopeful! Thank for replying x

@KittyKate34 welcome 😊 sorry to hear about your BFN, still some time yet for a bfp to arrive but I know its hard to keep positive! How are you finding BBT? I haven't tried it yet but don't think it would work for me as I'm up several times in the night!

@EmL98 sorry to hear about your MMC 💐 I hope using OPKs helps you, I've found it very useful so far! It's up to you what you want to do in the run up to peak. I definitely wouldn't wait until peak to DTD as sperm can survive for a few days so it's worth getting a couple of goes in before then if you can 😆 you could do every other day, or do a couple of days in a row before peak. It's obviously a good idea to DTD on peak day too as ovulation will happen in the 24-48 hours after that. That's obviously just the ideal, life happens and gets in the way!!

This is my OPK chart from this cycle. We haven't even got DTD since peak day because I've had a terrible cold and not only haven't been in the mood but DH wouldn't have come near me with a bargepole 🤣🤣

@Laurie95 omg it's my right nipple too!! 😂 it's a sign 😂 xx

@EmL98

Welcome to the group!! 😊
Sorry to hear about your MMC , I can imagine how devastating that would be. I have read online it's best to DTD every other day as sperm lives inside of you for up to 5 days anyway. But I try to DTD on the day before ovulation and the day before that. So 2 days leading up to ovulation. I am not too fussed if I actually DTD on the actual day of ovulation as chances drop on the day of. But I'd suggest just BD'ing as much as possible really 😊 good luck to you, keep us updated! Xx

I've just tested positive for Covid on one of those home test kits...
off for a proper test tomorrow.
Wouldn't know a PG symptom now if it smacked me in the face because I feel like I've been hit by a bus... and obviously self isolating now 😢 boo

@hormonalhandbag oh no I'm sorry, hope you feel better soon x

Slight silver lining- might take your mind off symptom spotting 😁 x

Seriously though take it easy, look after yourself and feel better xx

Hi ladies!

I’ve spent the last few hours reading through different ttc threads and I’m so glad to have come across this one. Still trying to understand all the jargon though ( DTD, AF, BFP etc 😂) but I think I’m getting there!

I stopped using the Evra patch about a month ago. I’ve read that it can take 1-3 months to start ovulating so I will be trying my best to remain patient 😂 I’ve bought the clear blue ovulation kit and will be using it during my next cycle. Looking forward to reading everyone’s updates. Fingers crossed for us all! X

@Summersky966 welcome 🤗

Hey ladies, today is 7dpo for me and have woken up quite crampy- feel like period cramps so not feeling very positive x

Hi, everyone hope yous are all well,
I’m now 9DPO done another test this morning BFP and it’s darker than before so taking that as a good thing, got a clear blue digital but holding off to my period date to take it.

Been feeling alot of cramps yesterday when walking I had a sharp shooting pain it was really sore I had to stop for a minute not sure what that could of been ?!

And welcome @Summersky966
And yes best to test to make sure you are ovulating good luck to you xx

@hormonalhandbag aww sorry to hear about your positive test! Not the BFP you want 🤦🏼‍♀️ really hope you feel a bit better soon!

@Laurie95 you will feel lots of cramping and it feels so unnerving but apparently completely normal! I remember I had a long haul flight when I was maybe 6 or 7 weeks pregnant and I packed a load of pads because I was so certain I was going to miscarry! I didn't but it really didn't feel reassuring at the time!

8DPO here today and just feeling normal. Trying to mentally prepare myself for AF, anything else is a bonus as its just our first cycle this time

Thank you so much @Teaandcrumpets95 & @SLT90 xx so kind xx

Honestly... those two lines on that Covid test came up so quickly! Totally not the BFP I wanted!!! Awaiting the results from this mornings drive through test now, and had to cancel all my work for this weekend 😩

Hope you are all okay.
These TWW days a long.

Hello and good luck to all the new comers

#luckygroup
Can't wait to see more BFP's

I don't know if this is a symptom, I kinda hope not as it's weird...I've noticed I've got really bad b.o today which isn't like me, and I don't mean I'm sweaty I just stink 😂

Doesn't make sense I had a shower this morning and have gone through 7 layers or deodorant today. Finished work and had to wash again and change clothes 😓
