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

[sweetbliss89]

Macy - Is there a walk in clinic you could go to that might be cheaper than the doctor? My kidney infection was horrific. I could barely walk it was so painful.

Hey ladies, can I join you? I was in the June testing thread and ended up having a CP. I'm most likely 3dpo, my chart/temp/OPKs have been a little funky due to the fact that we've been traveling in Australia. I've also had a mild cold (slight sore throat/runny nose) so hoping that wasn't the reason for my temp jump. Time will tell I guess. Hopefully regardless I'll get to test in Aug! If I am where I think I am in my cycle I guess I could technically test in July but I'm going to wait until Aug 1st. Last cycle I had the same faint line from 12-15dpo and nearly lost my mind obsessing over it so I want to wait until I know for sure the line should be fairly dark. I'd actually wait longer but that day we're flying out of town for a wedding and staying with friends so I want to know before we go. Good luck to everyone this month!

I had a chemical in May, and I am going to test on August 1st as well! I could probably test earlier, but my husband and I went on our first date on August 2nd (6 years ago) so I am thinking it would be fun anniversary type gift if we get our BFP! Good luck to you

 

[curiousowl]

Yay testing buddies sorry to hear about your chemical. That would be a great present though!

 

[Deal9027]

[n.miller]

Welcome curious!

Deal - so sorry the got you. We're happy to have your company.

 

[curiousowl]

Hi Deal sorry to see you're still here but nice to see a familiar face!

 

[macydarling]

Hello again Curious and Deal!! Welcome!

I will be heading to an urgent care clinic shortly. I barely slept last night due to the pain in my sides/back. Im also not very smart and cant resist DH do we BD'd this morning and now my hooha is on fire! FX we can get this figured out! I am guessing it has gone to my kidneys. No bueno.

 

[bluefish1980]

Hey ladoes. Thought I'd better stalk as its already taken me ages to catch up and if I left it any longer I never would!

I'm on 9dpo so won't be long till I join you all or real.

definitely get to the doctor!! i had a urinary tract infection a couple times several years ago and one time i let it go until i could hardly walk. taking public transportation to the hospital was horrible. the doctor took one look at the test results and actually used the word in japanese for wonderful/amazing when he described my UTI. definitely no bueno.

get some medicine and drink as much water as possible to help flush it out. take care and hope you are feeling better soon!!

also, once you get them, they are easier to get again and women are more likely to get them because everything is so close down there as much as you want the little guys to have extra time in there, i would say pee as soon as you can after sex to keep the bad stuff from traveling the wrong way into the wrong places!

woohoo! testing soon?
your chart looks great, fingers crossed for you

i'm only MAYBE 1DPO so getting excited for anyone who's closer than me! haha

 

[curiousowl]

Ouch macy That totally sucks. I hope you feel better soon.

 

[Bug222]

ouch Macy! I hope they can get you sorted out quickly!!!

 

[canadabear]

Macy :so sorry for you! hope you get sorted soon!
Bluefish: your chart is looking great.. When are you thinking of testing?

AFM: temps are staying up and boobs are a bit sore last night and this morning. Super vivid dreams too.. Trying not to read too much into things as cramps are still here and some pre-af acne too.

 

[bluefish1980]

Trying not to think about POAS as I can't stand seeing the BFN everytime. Plus, my LP is usually 14-15 days so there is still a way to go.

 

[sweetbliss89]

So sorry Macy! I hope they're able to help you! They were able to give me pain killers for the first day when I had my kidney infection because it was so painful. I hope they can get you some type of relief! If they don't give you anything but antibiotics then try a heating pad on your back! Hope you feel better soon!

Hi ladies, Sorry but I haven't read to date.
Thought I would brave things and add my name to your group. This is unofficially our first cycle back in the boat of TTCing, although OH and I agreed we wouldn't start TTCing till after we have moved. But I'm just a bit too broody to wait and I know it takes me ages to get BFP's (took 11 cycles last time). So may as well get started early.
I have BBT thermometer and OPK's ready. I'm expecting to O around 4th Aug and planning on testing around 20th Aug - which would be 2 days after AF is due.

 

[Mintastic]

Hey ladies - I am still a July tester but wanted to pop in so I could keep following you all.

 

[sweetbliss89]

So I just have to share.... maybe TMI, sorry! but I just successfully used my first soft cup! I know some people say they work and some say they don't but I figured I would give it a shot this month, nothing to lose but the $6 I spent on the box of them hah. I was so nervous about being able to use it right but I did, it was wayyyy easier than I expected. I feel like this calls for a celebration. Cake and ice cream anyone?

 

[skweek35]

Woohoo!!! I used softcups the month we conceived our dd. Was so easy.
