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.

Hey looking to join in, on month 7 of TTC! I normally have 27 day cycles and have done for years but I'm on CD31 just now and I ovulated late this month so on 9dpo now. Either AF is 3/4 days late or this is a longer cycle 🙄 been feeling rotten for past 2/3 days, nauseous, headaches and just weird cramps🤷🏻‍♀️ so who's knows what's happening 🙈

Hi I'm feeling the same and think I'm getting positive tests now so it could definitely be the cause. Fingers crossed for you

@Aims1991 Hi to you and good luck! I'm still confident this is going to be a lucky group! 🍀

@Ems2021 omgeee this sounds exciting Re your tests woop 🤞🏼🙌🏼

Drinking girls... don't stress! Being relaxed and happy I understand is as important for conception and living your life and enjoying your downtime and having some drinkies before that BFP I'd say is all good sisters 👯‍♀️
I enjoyed some of my fave blue alcopops on my holiday 🤪💙
If we stop living every TWW and the conception times takes an age I'm sure that would have a terrible impact on mental health.

I got a positive test today and I'm 9DPO Iv had a weird taste in my mouth for a couple of days and a headache for just under two weeks!!

So could definitely be a sign!!!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤭

Morning everyone how are we all? 😊

Update on me: I am now 10 DPO and waiting for my pregnancy tests to arrive. My nipples aren't hurting as much now but are still sensitive. Have had mild cramp past couple of days but don't know if it's anything on toward. I'm getting nervous now, I am slightly convinced I'm pregnant just because of the nipple pain the past couple of days I have never experienced that before. And it's not PMS. Also, I checked my cervix and im not too sure how to check how high / low it is but it feels very soft, don't know what this means either lol.

Hope everyone's okay!!! What's everyone's symptoms now & how are you all feeling? Xx

@louise1997 morning!
I know it's horrible second guessing everything little thing x

I'm 9 dpo and honestly not feeling very optimistic, not even sure why but I'm worried I'm gonna get my period early 🙁
No symptoms atm other than a slight ache in my pelvis but that's likely nothing x
I want to test but I'm holding out til the weekend- so gonna be a long week x

@louise1997 I'm feeling great. I took my test this morning having completely psyched myself out and figuring I needed to fully prep for AF but..... on CD25 (12/13 DPO ttc#1 cycle#1) AF didn't arrive and I got a BFP (FRER)!!!

I'm absolutely buzzing!

Hi All,

I think I'm 5dpo and absolutely losing my mind time has never gone so slowly in my LIFE.

Just thought I'd join in on this thread hope that's okay. Trying for baby #2... wanted to start trying last year and then coronavirus happened and we decided to wait to see how things turned out and now we are both fully vaccinated decided to go for it and... so this is just cycle 1 for me but feels like cycle 1 having been very much READY for the past 18 months but very cautious with the whole pandemic situation... lovely to see some positives so far got my fingers crossed for everyone else!

Hi ladies!

CD30 here. This is my second month TTC even though it feels like it's been longer (came off the pill May 2020 and had no periods till June 2021, I'm in metformin!)

AF was due yesterday and I really thought it was going to come, had really strong period pain in the morning but it died down. Have had crampy pains for quite a few days before that as well. Today I feel absolutely normal apart from some pressure in my lower back and my nipples are sensitive, and I have literally gone to the toilet 5 times and it's not even lunch time yet. I don't want to take a test and see a BFN and I suppose my cycle could still be out of whack. Feels like torture!!

@SisterA I’m also 5dpo (I think) hopefully pinpointed ovulation on correct date, although had some ewcm 2dpo so not sure, but hopeful!
Good luck! Holding thumbs for you!! AF due for me around 26 Aug, what date for you?

@BitchFace21 hey I'm 10dpo. Tested last night and was BFN! Not sure if it's still early🤷🏻‍♀️

Use first wee of the day!! I made that mistake and it was negative! Tested next morning and was BFP! So hoping when I test Wednesday will be clear as anything!! Xxxx

@wannabeamummysobad congratulations to you !!

@BitchFace21 when I first got my positives it was only morning it would pick up. So definitely try again tomorrow or following day good luck !

Also spoke with GP this morning that’s me referred over to see my MW at 7 weeks and got an early scan booked for 6 weeks hopefully flys.
Feeling all so real now am still continuing taking tests to see the line progress.

And deffo a lucky group congratulations to everyone on the BFP can’t wait to see more over the next few days/weeks ! 🤞

Hi all,
Hoping it's ok I've jumped into the chat. This seemed like a really friendly and supportive stream and felt like the best place to start. Congrats to those with a positive!!
This is my first time TTC. Currently on cycle 1 with OV day fast approaching (usually between day 14 to day 16), currently CD 12 and BD every other day. Have been mapping my cycle for last 12 months and using OPKs for the past 6 - the control freak inside of me wanting to know ahead of trying that I was ovulating consistently and preparing my body the best I could.
Trying my best to remain relaxed (and realistic!!) about how long we may be TTC for although secretly hoping it magically happens first time. I'm sure everyone in the stream knows what I mean! Felt a good thing for my own sanity to have a safe place to talk with others about this journey. Have have had friends openly discuss TTC from the get go and sadly seen several years down the line still nothing and actively avoiding any baby chatter - I wanted a pressure free environment so anonymous talk on here felt the right thing for me.
Wishing everyone the best of luck

@BitchFace21 yeah will try Wednesday morning. Ordered more tests which I will get tomorrow so holding out and I will be 12dpo. What symptoms did you have

@Laurie95 thank you. I've got my gp appointment next week Wednesday and will look to book an early scan soon afterwards.

@HopefulMaama 27th due on for me! I haven't been tracking ovulation with temp or tests but I get really obvious ovulation pains and have tracked my cycle for a very long time.

Really trying to just not think about it but. Wow. Hard not to let it take over. Trying to keep busy!

Is everyone tracking it properly or is anyone also just... semi-guessing?

@SisterA I also base mine off my ovulation pains which occur the same time each month, I also use an OPK and usually ovulate within 2 days of the clear blue smiley face. I don’t do temping or anything else.
The 2ww is the hardest part!! I get very impatient lol

@SisterA I used the CB OPK and found them really easy to use. BD through the flashing face and static face and it worked- got my BFP this morning.

Keeping everything crossed this bean is the stickiest as I'm already excited to meet them in April x

@wannabeamummysobad congratulations!! That’s fantastic news xxx
