How frustrating for you, you must be exhausted Sad

My chart did this last cycle, it's still way above cover line but it is on it's way down. My chart stayed way above coverline until the day AF arrived, then I got the steep drop. So being above cover line means nothing for me sadly.
The blue dots are when we BDd so we BDd the day before ov, rather than 2 days before. The red dots are spotting.
I think if the timing doesn't fuck me over, then the spotting will have done.
According to Ovusense, we Bd'd once over my entire ovulation window.
GP will call me today re spotting, I wonder what she will have to say...

@Frazzlerock I don't think he wakes up (except when he comes down to my room), he just snores, cries out and/or punches me in the face constantly until dawn.

Your chart doesn't look that bad? Ov-2 is the most fertile day and your temp is going to fluctuate a bit during LP - you're still way above the coverline?

@BettySwoll0cks I don't know how you would get around temping/DS waking up.
What is waking him?

Well as predicted, the inevitable downward trend 📉 (ha, there's an emoji for that) is well and truly established.
I am willing to bet my entire house on not getting a BFP this cycle.
I wonder when I'll ovulate next... maybe DP and I could actually have sex at ovulation and be in with a chance. Because right now I feel like we're using temping as a contraceptive 😓

DH should've been DS!! DH barely gets to sleep in my bed at all atm...

BettySwoll0cks · 12/02/2019 06:54

Morning all, my chart is officially a load of crap this month. I haven't had a decent temp rise at all (one spike because I got up to go to the loo at 5am) and its all to do with disturbed sleep. DH is sick but anyway he's in my bed from about midnight every night and wakes me up at least 6-10 times between then and 6.30. I don't know how I'm going to sort that out, he is just so attached to me 😔

Ov date is worth btw because of my low temps - I ov'd on CD16 (EWCM/OPK/Ov pain)

Hope everyone has a good day xx

@Buggles1 I saw that ad. All I could think was yet another tv ad playing on the happy perfect families ....... the one thing I'm struggling to get. Any adverts with babies and pregnancy kills me inside. Sad I know!

InDreamland · 11/02/2019 21:03

Slowly catching up on here.

Jumping in on the convo about putting on weight. I feel like I've piled it on from my two failed pregnancies last year. It needs to come off but I can't stop eating!

@Pegase I know that feeling of mc train b all the joy out of pregnancy. I was so anxious for the short time I was pregnant with our second one. I know if we're lucky to get a third pregnancy I'll be even more anxious than the last one. Fingers crossed for you that this is a sticky bean!

InDreamland · 11/02/2019 20:57

Oh wow, this thread moves fast. I'll have to catch up properly.

Hope you're all well!

I'm now CD13 and on my 5th day of flashing smiley on the CB OPK. I'm wondering how quickly the coQ10 trashes to have any effect. Got results from the clinic for my AMH blood test, she said it's very good for my age and it looks very reassuring - I'm hoping that's all a good sign. I'm so desperate to be pregnant before my birthday but that means it has to be this cycle.

tigsyboo · 11/02/2019 20:10

@Pegase ..... that's so true but so sad. Miscarriage.... stealing happiness away from pregnancy, forever!

Pegase · 11/02/2019 19:40

Ha I think that would feed my anxiety even more! DH and I barely even discuss the pregnancy. When we do it is like a guilty pleasure because feel so doubtful I will make it to 12 weeks. Don't think I will buy anything for many many weeks if it even works out.

Buggles1 · 11/02/2019 18:51

Has anyone else seen the latest Samsung add which shows a couple viewing their baby with a phone that has an ultrasound smartphone attachment on it... apparently the tech is already available, they’re just working on making it cheaper. Wouldn’t that be amazing...

edidxb · 11/02/2019 16:41

We can't get naked bars here but my parents always bring some when they come. I've only tried the berry delight ones but they're so good!
We also had spag bol tonight, but it was from the freezer that I cooked ages ago and the pasta was spirals not spag..........but all was good!
@pegase I think it's great you are feeling rough - in the nicest possible way! I'm feeling OK at the moment which is worrying but am trying not to worry.....

Rose68 · 11/02/2019 16:41

And the salted caramel one yum yum

I've got a whole bag of maternity clothes as I buy them for every pregnancy. Most of it is winter stuff, long sleeves etc.

Ahh I love mozzerella - I mis cheese. Can't wait to start having that again once preg. All this avoiding stuff can do one!
Me, I had a mushroom and black rice soup. It's a brand called English Provender and it is delicious. they are all (I think) gluten free, dairy free, sugar free so right up my street. My faves are the Thai Chicken and the mushroom one. Waitrose and Sainsburys sell them. I also had a slice of rye bread with butter, and then a orange choc Naked bar.

We've spag bol tonight cooked by my unemployed DP Grin

He had another really successful interview today so hopefully should be working again soon. Fingers crossed! And if he does get work soon then he still has three months pay from the last job so we could be looking at one hell of a knees up for our wedding next year Grin

Oh @Twittle that's rubbish but at least you're in the safest hands. What's your current DD?

I did buy a few bits, but they weren't particularly seasonal - cute leggings - so easily could be worn indoors in the winter. Obviously I've got the blanket too.
I did buy some mat jeans as I was starting to feel uncomfortable in my usual ones, but hopefully they'll be fine for whenever.

Frazzle, save me a room, I might have to join you in there....!
What did you have for lunch? I made a really lovely mozzarella salad - wish I could eat all day.

I am sure you are in safe hands @Twittle, try not to worry if at all possible.
I think I will put my baby in the summer stuff anyway and, like you say, layer up on top. Maybe they can be indoor clothes. Well, that is unless it takes me that long to have ababy that I will be genuinely using the summer clothes next summer - man I hope it doesn't take that long, I will go insane. That will be 4 years of desperation - I will deffo be in a mental home but you can all visit

My horrid TWW metal mouth is so bad today, I cannot wait for this to be over. Once AF arrives it will be gone! I'm trying not to give into going to buy chewing gum as I am avoiding artificial sweeteners.
Lunch time was a lovely break from it, but I can't eat all day

I cant bring myself to give them away either Frazzle despite knowing 4 people who are due roughly when we should have been. A few things I have neatly folded away in my baby's box of things. I've saved a few things for this baby now as I think it could still be possible to wear some of it in September with layers. And tbh, if this baby is anything like DS it will come 3 weeks early anyway so will be born in August... I shall be under consultant led car - MW bloody scared me too as she said it is highly probably that this one will come even earlier.

Rather I would have bloody lost it at DH! Why do they just not get it?!

Frazzlerock · 11/02/2019 13:04

I don't want to give them away @Twittle, especially not to anyone expecting in the summer when mine should have been born.
Maybe when/if I finally have my baby and I am out of all this horridness, I will be able to give them away. I think I feel too close to them right now.

@Rather Oh they don't think do they!!

ratherbeshowjumping · 11/02/2019 12:58

@Betty at least they're getting used... 🙈

@Frazzlerock ffs. Have you got any friends who are due this spring/summer? Could always gift them, at least they'll get worn?

I've still got our baby blanket in the spare room upstairs. Dh asked if maybe we should use it for a nice throw in the lounge. I almost bit his head off 🙈

TwittleBee · 11/02/2019 12:57

sorry you've been feeling awful Pegase and sorry you are anxious too, totally understandable though. FX you get past that milestone smoothly and rest of PG is all good too

oh that really is a sad though Rather Sad Hope it happens for you and everyone soon.

Frazzle yeah I made that mistake as well with the summer clothes...

Betty haha oh dear! Maybe leave them in different places?
