AUGUST buddies~ Symptom Spotting, Girl Talk & POAS party!

[sweetbliss89]

Snuf - I'm so sorry I could cry for you right now! You can message me if you need to talk or need a distraction while you wait!

Krissy - That's awesome that it seems like the Vitex might already be helping! When will you be testing this month?


I noticed that I don't have really any CM lately so I think I'm starting that whole "dry" period just before AF comes I decided that if and when she shows that I'm going to order my dress for the Marine Corps ball. All of the previous years I haven't bought a dress that I really loved, its been last minute picks so I decided to find one early that I really like. I think this is the one:

Maybe that will help me feel better if/when she arrives? Who knows but it is my plan for now. And I'm starting to look into if there are any fertility specialists that our insurance would possibly cover so just starting to plan ahead.

Krissy- I hope Vitex helps I plan to start it soon, too- after talking with my MW about it at my annual this week. I hope your ultrasounds look good & they can give you some answers. Keep us posted.

So yesterday I had EWCM for maybe the first time ever. And today this is what my OPK looked like... is this a positive? Or is it not quite there yet?

Smiley - My temps were a bit weird and high after AF this month too Guess it just happens sometimes. I'm annoyed that it could throw off my whole coverline since I didn't temp while away.

Krissy, I think that opk is super close, i would bd and take one tonight. If it goes lighter I would almost bet that would be your positive. It's so hard to tell in pictures, I think pictures make things look lighter so it really could be your positive. Guess you'll find out for sure in 3 days. Would this make you O any earlier than last month? Maybe it will give you a longer lp.



AFM: nothing really to report. CD 9. lol

Macy: If you make a list my AF should be here around the 27.

 

[dustergrl]

Oh, Snuf, I'm sorry I hope next month is your month.

 

[n.miller]

Sorry Snuf. FX for you in the future.

Anyone testing soon?

AFM: I got my cross hairs on FF this morning. It predicted O a lot later than I'd hoped, so not a whole lot of fertile BD, but who knows. DH said its ok because if we conceived a girl now, she'd never be allowed to have her birth stone. Lol. AF is predicted later - FF is showing a 35 day cycle. So we'll see. We're home and exhausted. The mark of a good vacation. It didn't stop us from putting together DH's mom's new lawn mower.

Sweet I love the dress! I say go for it. You deserve it with all the TWW stress you have been under!

 

[AugustBride6]

So sorry Snuf

AF is due August 14. I may test August 11. Maybe my birthday will bring us luck

 

[dove830]

After having a pretty dark OPK yesterday, today's is pretty light. Only CD10 today though. Hoping for a shorter first half of my cycle and a much longer second half!

 

[KrissyB]

Sorry Snuf sucks that its whole you are traveling too

sweet - love the dress! Afm I'll probably start with some cheapies around 8 dpo if the doc appt doesn't come first

 

[macydarling]

Continuing to check back on the last few cycles symptoms...apparently these cramps happen every month around this time lol. Only thing Im missing is tender breasts. That usually happenson CD 24 at latest and today is CD 26 but they feel fine. Although I doubt not sore breasts are a pg symptom lol.

 

[sweetbliss89]

Macy - thanks I'm anxious to finally order it! Don't give up hope! Question for you, how do you track your previous months symptoms? Do you just go back through your comments, have them written down, an app? I think I want to start tracking them.

Krissy - if I already asked, I apologize, but how many dpo are you today? I am so anxious for everyone to start testing! haha it seems like there are a lot of people right along the same time frame!


I keep getting little moments of heartburn and tenderness in just my left boob.... I'm chalking it up to my mind is playing with me and my body is going along with it haha.

 

[macydarling]

I have the Ovia app where you can enter you symptoms. I also did the "symptoms by dpo" thread on here the last two cycles (not this current one though).

 

[sweetbliss89]

OH! I just found that FF has that stuff too haha. I'm going to start entering that info now each month. Thanks!

 

[Cheekygringo]

Wup wup looks like a bfn this morning, so I'm still waiting. I thinkI keep getting evaps on frer so unless I get a decent line I'm not trusting it.
Only getting faint shadows, which are hard to photo, also I always have line eye, so dont trust myself

Hi ladies, i have done a lot more stalking than posting, but I just felt an urge to post tonight. I am having a really hard time. Just started my period the other day so onto the August cycle. However, my girls are getting older (and are finally easy!!!) and so I am beginning to really wonder if a third baby is all that practical. My husband doesnt think so at all, but he is a wonderful man and told me he will try as long as I want to. I am feeling ready to go back to work, but there is no way I'd happily have a career with a baby, so that's one more thing that will be put off if we have another one. I dont know if I am feeling this way to cope with the fact that I began my period, but I guess I just needed a place to get this all out! I hope others understand a little bit!

 

[KrissyB]

Ok Ladies! I think I'm marking this one down as positive, what do you think?



Sweet - LOL I'm still waiting for O (hence the OPK) But hopefully it's around the corner now... so I'm sure they'll be quite a few testers before me.

Jessica - I do the same thing almost every month. I'm excited and hopeful.... then miserable... then play all sorts of mind games with myself to either feel better or make myself feel worse because I tried to make myself feel better I blame some of it on the hormones lol

 

[dustergrl]

Krissy that def looks + to me! Good luck; fx!

 

[Mintastic]

Krissy - looks + to me too!

Jessica - I don't totally understand since I am ttc#1 but even for me I have some days where I am at work or having a relaxing evening with my husband and dog and I think "I really like my life - all this is going to change - do I really need a baby? Maybe I should just get a second dog..." But it is a fleeting thought and I really really do want kids. Since you have 2 already though I guess only you can know what you really want for your family.

 

[AugustBride6]

Krissy.....it looks positive to me, time for the fun part!

 

[smiley4442]

looks positive krissy!
