CD7 for me today. I only have 3 days of AF each nonth.

Today was my first morning of using the thermometer, I kinda like it. It's reading less than an 'in ear' themometer but that's normal apparently. Intriguing to see if I'll notice anything new this month!

Today is also the first day of this cycle on the CB digital OPK'S. Got the standard O today. Hoping I ovulate a bit earlier this month, CD 16 I got my peak last month.

How are you all feeling?

Hi @Blossomingflower94 I hope you're well! I feel the same way, we have a nice little group going even though we're well beyond 4th September 😊 Rooting for everyone - and of course we've already have success stories 😊

Nice, sounds like a good investment! What CD are you now? Has your AF gone?

Hope you're all having a lovely month. I know this isn't a tww September group anymore but I feel like I know you all now and really want to see you get BFP's.

I ordered a proper BBT thermometer yesterday and it arrived today. The thermometer I was using was digital one but only to .0 of a decimal not .00.

Ill let you all know how I get on 🙂

Thanks @AliSxo 🌼 How are you doing today, are you feeling more calm about things after that lovely line from yesterday evening? 😊

AliSxo · 04/10/2019 19:24

@Raizelrea you're not our til AF arrives! Xxx

Raizelrea · 04/10/2019 07:40

@Chaosonthehorizon Thank you, it's ok really. Now if my boobs would only stop hurting for no reason 😄

Chaosonthehorizon · 04/10/2019 07:34

Oh wow AliSxo congrats my lovely. So sorry Raizelrea hope this month is your month

Raizelrea · 04/10/2019 07:23

That's a BFN for me unfortunately. I tested with OH for the first time which was nice though.

AliSxo · 03/10/2019 20:43

Thanks, I know, my evening lines are ALWAYS stronger it's bizarre!! I've had a real loss of appetite, diarrhoea (tmi sorry), headaches, been quite tearful so I think my hcg has really spiked the last 48 hours, just praying it's stuck!! Let me know how you get on when you test xxxx

Raizelrea · 03/10/2019 19:59

Look at that, what a line!!! 🎉 Especially considering it's the evening!

I wonder how exactly the HCG doubling works, if it's gradual over time or just big jumps after the 2 days... because you always seem to get your increase in the evening. Maybe it just tends to increase for you at that point? Either way it's definitely rising which is the important thing 🤗

AliSxo · 03/10/2019 19:49

@Raizelrea that's yesterday morning, compared with tonight's... exciting!! Still just not sinking in xx

TWW - testing 4th September
Raizelrea · 03/10/2019 19:30

Just 12! One thing that I do find quite positive is that normally I'd already be spotting at this point of the cycle so that could be a good thing - or I'll just be very late!

Yes I can imagine it's been draining for you! Did you say you have a day off tomorrow? Hopefully you'll get some rest - and reassurance 🤞

AliSxo · 03/10/2019 16:02

How many DPO will you be tomorrow? @Raizelrea I know it's been a good distraction going away with work but I'm so glad to be on my way home now xxx

Raizelrea · 03/10/2019 13:18

You're absolutely right of course! I will probably cave tomorrow, maybe wait till Saturday if I can. Not sure why it's so hard to wait considering I'm expecting it to be negative! Fingers crossed for you, nausea should be a good sign this late in the cycle! Try to keep distracted if you can!

AliSxo · 03/10/2019 10:20

Glad you didn't test, the longer you can hold off the better but I know it's hard xxx not tested today, I'm away with work so don't want to upset myself if it's a fainter line again, I do feel queasy today just mildly so maybe my hcg is rising xx fingers crossed xx

Raizelrea · 03/10/2019 07:00

@AliSxo Thank you, managed to resist since I woke up an hour early and me and OH have agreed to test together. How are you feeling today? Are you testing again?

AliSxo · 02/10/2019 22:42

@Raizelrea 11DPO some people get a faint line but maybe try and hold out a few more days? Xxx

Raizelrea · 02/10/2019 22:33

@AliSxo I really do hope it's a sticky! Sending good vibes!

@Chaosonthehorizon How are you feeling? And how did your OH react? How good is the timing - just when you were talking about giving up on number 3 😊

I think I may test tomorrow which is silly as it will only be 11 DPO but I'm getting impatient.

Chaosonthehorizon · 02/10/2019 19:20

I think 15/16 DPO, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

AliSxo · 02/10/2019 18:06

Hi @Raizelrea I really hope it's not but I think I'm prepared if it is as I just worry my hcg isn't as strong as it should be for this many days past ovulation? Xx

AliSxo · 02/10/2019 18:06

Thanks @Chaosonthehorizon I've lost my appetite, really tired and had a few cramps, I'm just worried as I'm actually 17dpo but only showing as 1-2 weeks on the digital test so worried my hcg is low. I'm going to book into the doctors and they might suggest a blood test? Can I please ask how many DPO you are? Xx

Chaosonthehorizon · 02/10/2019 17:16

AliSxo no symptoms really just some cramps at the front when af due and maybe boobs a bit tender (but had that for the last three months too). 2-3 wks, I often date ahead though because I ovulate straight after my period so may be 3-4 wks or may not

Raizelrea · 02/10/2019 13:18

@AliSxo That's definitely looking darker! I think if it was a chemical it would have disappeared by now? 🤞

@Chaosonthehorizon Congratulations! Did you have any symptoms?

AliSxo · 02/10/2019 12:20

I'm so paranoid I'm having a chemical I need to be more positive @Chaosonthehorizon was your digital test 1-2 weeks or are you further along? Xx

Chaosonthehorizon · 02/10/2019 12:12

I’m not entirely sure what it was, just a boots test (expired) and then did a CB this morning. They have always been reliable for me
