The July 19ers - STILL never beaten, and rocking our FJs for a lucky thread

Yesss Frazzle I'm all for the positives....! I am actually thinking of starting a gratitude diary. I'm not one for mindfulness etc (nothing against it, just have never gotten into it) but a friend (my boss actually) suggested that it could be good for me after the MC. There's so much good stuff in my life yet I often always put those wonderful things to the back of my head and concentrate on beating myself up for not being pregnant, not having a baby.
Is it too late to start right at the end of Jan

I think I slept like a log last night... maybe it’s rising progesterone.... Let’s just blame progesterone for everything ☺️

@Frazzle, I agree with Rather, all the signs are there for ovulation yesterday, or possibly today. I would ignore the temperature, I’m sure a number of things can affect it.

I am shattered today, I could hardly drag myself out of bed this morning. I’m not sure what has made me feel like this 😞

@Frazzle I get it, I really do. Many people have babies well into their 40's. You are not alone. You've beat PCOS to have your first two PLUS the 3 ones who didn't make it... you WILL have another.
As Betty said, perhaps you didn't get a good sleep, perhaps your thermometer is on the blink... it could be anything. Don't get down on one temperature. If anything, view it as you've had the EWCM, you've had the +ive OPKs, you've had the right temps in the lead ups... everything is pointing at this being an anomaly.

@Betty I'm getting annoyed with temping too - I snoozed my alarm this morning and forgot to temp so no point doing it again. Never mind.....!

Oh wow that’s an amazingly strong line for 12dpo @Pegase! Hopefully the bleeding will stop soon and all will be fine. xxx

I've given up on BBT for now. Can't trust either of my thermometers but in any case I don't get undisturbed rest at night so there's probably no point. This morning DS had me up at 6 with a bad dream and there wasn't time to temp so I have skipped a day in any case. Truth is, my cycle used to be regular so I'll just try and DTD every other day through the middle of my cycle and use OPKs. None of it is a perfect science and even if we do it at exactly the right time, as we all know the chances are it won't stick anyway (25% or something isn't it?)

Yeah I had a haematoma with my first which meant I was bouncing back and forth to EPU for the first trimester. Sometimes it was quite a scary amount of bright red blood. I'm going to give it at least a couple of weeks till booking in. Not least so I don't have to call to cancel the appts it it ends badly again.

@pegase that's an awesome positive! If it's any consolation, I had some bleeding at the beginning of my pregnancy with DS - enough for me to think AF had started, and then it stopped again and so I tested for a bfp. Must've been an implantation bleed, but more blood than I would have thought. And another time I had a sub chorionic bleed which just indicated that the embryo had shifted a bit somewhere around implantation which caused a small bleed when it detached/re attached from the uterine lining. Either way nothing to be concerned about so massive fx it's something like that for you x

@Kinsters you would think so but that's why I wasn't too worried last time when I started bleeding and yet that did end up in mc. So now I don't know what to think. Thanks for the support everyone anyway. Am off work sick today with evil cold/flu so have all day to stress about this!

That's so positive Pegase! I guess you just have to take it a day at a time. Is it any comfort that you had bleeding in your last pregnancy so know it doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem? I said upthread my mum had bleeding all the way through her third pregnancy and my sister was fine.

@pegase crossposted sorry... wow what a line for 12dpo!!!! Huge huge congratulations, that looks very positive to me!

Good luck @edidxb fingers crossed it goes well for you.

@TwittleBee that woodland thread, Jesus... you've had some really good advice, definitely get a solicitor involved.

@frazzle I have no idea at all re your chart, I guess it could be an anomaly, try not to stress or read into it too much (easier said than done I know)

Oh @pegase that sounds really horrific. Is it enough to fill up a pad?

Strong BFP with FRER (tested again as per @edidxb 's instructions! )

Need to try to just focus on being pregnant today even though I might not be tomorrow as it were. Mc sort of sucks the joy out of the whole thing.

Oh yes @TwittleBee where is your woodland? I feel like the July 19ers should come and occupy it with you. CFs your neighbours !

Your woodland thread Twittle! That's nuts! Hope you manage to sort them out.

Frazzle yeah my chart has been a bit impenetrable as well with signs not lining up and random temps. Pre MC it was always pretty clear so it's annoying. I guess all we can do is wait.

Pegase tentative congratulations!

edidxb good luck with the interview!

Also sorry you are having a bad day Frazzle. Is it possible the thermometer was just wrong today? As someone was saying about how it can come up with different readings so easily? All other signs seem really positive...

Yes it was on the fertility monitor thing so said pregnant. As I was wiping away blood on the loo. Sorry TMI but shows how ridiculous this is.

This is why temping can be shit Frazzle as that temp this morning could be an anomaly or it could be a post ov dip (I often get them) but you just wont know what is happening until a few more temps have been recorded

@frazzle - thank you. I have my first interview this afternoon so taking a head break on here! I had a look at your chart and it could be a pre ovulation dip. Often it is the case that your temp dips before ovulation so I would say it should go up properly tomorrow and yesterday was just a blip. It does take me 3 days after a positive OPK before my temp goes up. If you still have the watery cm you probably ovulated yet. My guess is that it will happen today - which is still great timing.

@pegase - yay! That sounds exciting.......what kind of pregnancy test is that? It is a CB digital monitor one? Did it say pregnant on the screen?

I think you need to test again....
