hahaha I feel you! Totally need a break and a bop after all this :)

I'm on CD 14 today, so if I were to carry on until CD 19 that would be until this weekend. The lines got lighter between Friday and Monday, and then this morning when I tested, they looked like they were getting darker again, hubby agreed as well. I'm going to carry on testing with the cheapies this week to see if they get darker.

My chart is looking like this now. Although I had some confusion on whether my reading was 96.8 or 98.6 yesterday haha! My bbt thermometer doesn't have a backlight so its difficult for me to see in the mornings. I have since read some bad reviews on that particular thermometer so I just ordered a different kind which will hopefully be here later today. Apparently the thermometer that I have has given people inaccurate readings, which I have to agree with now that I'm thinking about it. But that all adds to my confusion :-/

@Donnat89 what sort of symptoms have u been getting ? X x

VP91x · 19/05/2020 18:41

@Rainbowhope11 I'm doing well, how are you feeling? Omg you're a trooper! I'm on day #4 and I'm glad it will be done. I better get a positive PG test because I need a break 😂😂

What CD are you now? Is the line darker than the control line?? Did they go lighter again after your dark ones?

What does your chart look like now? Xx

Thank you ! I'm trying to be calm until I can 100% confirm it as I'm
Worried il end up very disappointed.

Will see what the line looks like tomorrow using FMU X

Hayleylou89 · 19/05/2020 18:36

Congrats @Donnat89 that's a clear positive to me..congrats 😘 so so nice to see another positive in here 🥰🌈

VP91x · 19/05/2020 18:33

@SmileyT ah that's good!! Yeah, shouldn't matter much you are still doing the plan regardless!! Oh, don't think like that. You definitely have a good chance ❤️

It is nicer isn't it! Xx

@VP91x how are you getting along today?😊

So, I don't see a rise in my bbt 😫 I thought it was rising the other day but now it's dropped again. I did a cheapie opk today and it's darker than yesterday. So I'm thinking I probably didn't ovulate yet, despite what I thought. In January, I ovulated around day 17/18 so maybe I'm going to be doing the same this cycle? I feel like I'm at my wits end now, just so confused about the whole thing.

I asked hubby if he wanted to take a break, because we've been dtd every day since last week, and he says, "but what if tonight is the night?" 😳🤣 so now I'm of course thinking what if he is right, and what if I decide to stop now and then I miss my actual ovulation. I just want to scream!!!!

SmileyT · 19/05/2020 18:22

@VP91x yeah thank god AF seems to have dried up today so will start SMEP on Friday, CD7 as odd CDs work better with DPs work schedule and guessing it won't make much difference as long as it's every other day. I really really want this to be my month but also keep getting (a completely unfounded) feeling that I'm going to be trying for years. Bet you can't wait for this TWW to start now 🙌🏾 p.s I really do find femometer much more aesthetically pleasing

VP91x · 19/05/2020 18:04

@SmileyT are you almost at the end of AF? Xx

OP posts:
VP91x · 19/05/2020 18:04

@SmileyT yeah they are quite different aren't they.

This is my femometer one, but you get the general jist! Yeah fingers crossed 🤞

@VP91x I always find NC harder to see the pattern in their graphs but hoping you have a nice temp rise tomorrow 🙌🏾

@Sallyjo27 definitely too early to be out, stay positive and send all of those positive vibes to your body. I got pregnant when I was a lot younger and had the metallic taste in my mouth and felt so sick at even the sight of alcohol last pregnancy was completely different also you are so early you would likely not have implanted yet so there is no way you'd have signs. Everything crossed for you x

Congrats @Donnat89 🎉 so good to see more BFPs on this thread x

Donnat89 · 19/05/2020 17:34

I hope so , I'm going to test again tomorrow morning using FMU hopefully the lines stronger x

Re6ecc4 · 19/05/2020 17:19

Congrats @Donnat89 that looks pretty positive to me!!

And @Sallyjo27 you're definitely not out! 7dpo is way too early!

Rainbowhope11 · 19/05/2020 17:17

@Quail15 congratulations!!! What wonderful news😊 it's so refreshing to see some good news on here! Wishing you all the best, and hoping that you have a super safe pregnancy ❤️

@Donnat89 I didn't even need to squint to see that line! I'm hoping that it all goes well for you!❤️

Donnat89 · 19/05/2020 15:24

@2020wish yea the more I look at it the more obvious it is not like others I've had where you have to really look . Hoping it's right ! Suppose il find out tomorrow as will test using FMU if no AF X

2020wish · 19/05/2020 15:19

That is definitely not a squinter!! U seen it straight away!! Congrats!!

Donnat89 · 19/05/2020 15:12

@VP91x I hope so I have just looked at a photo of the last squinter I had and this one is darker . So hopefully it's good news . Will know the next few days xx

VP91x · 19/05/2020 15:02

@Donnat89 I really do think it is positive though, exciting!! Xx

OP posts:
Donnat89 · 19/05/2020 14:59

@VP91x yes I have fainter than this I think and only ever with FMU so will wait and see ! Xxx

VP91x · 19/05/2020 14:58

@Donnat89 have you? That's frustrating. Its definitely a line and pink so tentative congratulations!! ❤️

OP posts:
Donnat89 · 19/05/2020 14:57

@VP91x yes it's a bit more than a squinter I still think it's faint though and I've had lines on these before so I'm not getting my hopes up il re test in the morning if no AF X

VP91x · 19/05/2020 14:56

@Donnat89 didn't even need to squint, saw it straight away!! Xx

@Bellabubble I know..exactly! we just dont know really what each cycle will bring... ur spot because i had what i thought was IB again last month and got so excited and it just must of been due to a uti i had, so think u body just does what it wants and until we see them lines were all just guessing really x

Bellabubble · 19/05/2020 13:19

@Hayleylou89 I read somewhere about how implantation bleeding sometimes doesn’t happen if the uterus is used to something implanting - so paople who maybe have multiple pregnancies/children who are close in age in general tend to get it less, so it might be that your body knows what it is doing having done it recently. That’s what I have told myself (currently 9dpo) to stop mysef from fixating on it lol! But every body and pregnancy is so different that you then read about people who always have ib etc etc - such a minefield!!
