First time TTC - thread 2

As far as I know, it's the trend rather than the actual temp that matters and yours are staying elevated! Temps are cruel though - mine were up up up then boom! Through the floor!

Am doing alright today - cramps have gone, although I was CRANKY at work. Had to take myself into a booth away from everyone else to work as I was being so foul! I am enjoying the prospect of a boozy guilt free weekend and I'm appreciating peeing in the loo instead of pots!

Do you think? I don't feel like they're high enough. I'd fall over if I got a BFP, really bloated and sure AF is coming. I might save my tests and not test Saturday and wait for AF, will see what temps do tomorrow and Fri.

Yeah I am usually too pj but got myself into a zombie routine lol so it seems to be working. Still no sign of AF and I caved. I did a test earlier and spent a good 5 minutes staring at an imaginary line even though it was completely blank!

Ah jj that sucks if mine did that I'd be screwed no way in hell I'd remember to do it every morning!

How you ladies getting on otherwise?

My issue is once I'm awake, I'm awake, so no going back to sleep for me!

Temps are looking good Eva!

Mine is broken as it doesn't store the last temp so unfortunately I have to actually look and record before I forget :(. Crap really when I only got it 2 weeks ago but don't think I can't be bothered with the hassle of sending it back as it seems to work fine at actually reading temp just doesn't save.

Lol jj I did that for a few days. Then I set an alarm every morning about 40minutes before I have to wake up and it's worked perfectly. Slightly wake up, shove it in my mouth, let it beep. Put it away. Check the temp readout when j wake up properly!

I'm testing Saturday too 😀 going to be a busy thread next few days haha.

I've given up on temping already lol only did it for 2 weeks then forgot to put it next to my bed for 3 days in a row and didn't think there was much point doing it after getting up and moving to find it. I'll start again next cd1.

That's looking good eva! Keeping fingers crossed for you!

Yeah the buttons there I just don't understand how to fill in the filter options.

Oops forgot to attach again.

busy the button should be just above your chart, or maybe that's a "VIP" feature when you subscribe, photo of my screen attached. The chart gallery is addictive, you can set which charts you want to view so if you select pregnancy chart at you can see charts of people who got their BFP, I waste so much time looking at these. And overlay you can put this months chart on top of previous months and see if it's similar/different
pjs yeah I know, I can't wait to test just to get an answer. I'm 99% sure it'll be another bfn the way I'm feeling.

Yep - I definitely had The Fear busy! That's why I'm actually glad I got the BFN now - it was a good test to see how I really felt and the disappointment confirmed I'm doing the right thing!

Also I'm kind of scared to test on Saturday now! My temp is still above my baseline today and expected it to drop for my period. I get the fear you had now pj I'm scared if it is and almost wishing for AF.

Thanks eva and pj
Also I'm very jealous of that cake shop! I have to go miles for a decent cake shop. Mmmm cake. See I don't get the charts like mine on ff. I think as soon as I don't understand something that looks sciency my brain just goes nope nope and runs away.

Ugh I hope you sleep pattern gets back to normal pj insomnia sucks. Got any cardboard boxes you can take that bad mood out on? I used to love working in a warehouse at that time because I could smash some boxes and take out my anger.

Definitely not being an idiot! I turned into a total crazy woman and it was really stressing me out - the constant googling of symptoms, analysing temps, POAS etc. It's actually given me insomnia where I wake up at silly early times every day! I really need to chill out more next time and continue living my life until I get that BFP!

Ooooo nearly testing time for you and Eva! Excitement!

AF bad mood has well and truly landed

AF is due Monday, I'm 9dpo today, cd26.
busy we all do it and we're all completely normal here test on Saturday with me?
I've spent a lot of time checking 'charts like mine' on fertility friend for answers, and of course there aren't any! I keep craving cake (pretty good craving but not for the waistline) another sign AF may be on the way. Thankfully there's a good cake shop at my work, they're going to know me by name soon

Argh! Fake. Stupid phone.

Flake? Lol autocorrect from idiot. Odd!

Thanks pj glad to know I'm not a complete fake and other people do this too! It just doesn't feel like it's me, feels like some crazy woman has taken over my body! I almost wish AF would turn up then I know.

Sorry to hear yours is going crap, mine was like that last month. Get the hot water bottle, ibuprofen and hot drinks - maybe even a bath. Warmth and comfort are you're friends right now!

Yep - and that is where I was a few days ago busy! Although I've got every finger crossed that yours are real! I think the boob symptom is interesting - I didn't get that during my symptom spotting cray cray time, but then I don't really have boobs lol. But I even convinced myself I felt sick and had an aversion to DH's dinner But, you never know though busy - anything is possible!!

This AF is a total bitch - has hit me with full force making me think that this may be the first real one I've had since coming off pill. Pain!!! Let's see how long it lasts - my last AF was barely two days or noticeable.

Also sorry eva that sucks but could just as easily be early symptoms? When are you due AF?

Okay ladies going crazy doing google searches! Still no period or cramps or any sign of AF. (Probably TMI but I even did a cervix check and absolute nada coming out that thing no spotting at all) Nausea, fatigue, acne, dizziness all ramping up to a high point. Boobs were already sore but just got ready for bed and I swear to god it feels like someone has inflated my boobs to exploding point it's soooooo painful. I now also have a really prominent and quite large blue vein circling and going into my nipple. Never been there before but can see it a mile off. Help! Talk me down to calm point and off google searches.

I'm trying to be really good and not symptom spot but it's like an inevitable crash. And I've counted this month out in my head so why am I doing the crazy symptom spotting please be a bfp dance?

Even if it was something fertility friend says my test date is Saturday so I'd promised myself I wouldn't test until then.

£5 on AF turning up tomorrow and proving me to be the lunatic I am.

eva how long until AF due for you?

Sorry to hear that never. Welcome.
difficultyear that's really interesting, thanks, will definitely try those - although not sure DH will be up for the cold blast on his balls hahaha sounds like something from a James Bond movie! Then again I never thought I'd use a syringe to put fertility friendly lube up my flute so there we go!!!
I'm pretty sure AF is on her way, feel so bloated and generally ugh like you do before AF.

Wow pj sounds very gung Ho woman on a vision! Have to let us know how you get on
