@2020wish yeah I had a bath thermometer 😂 mainly because I love my baths really hot! You get used to it xx

@SmileyT I'm glad you're in your happy phase!! God yeah, anything to reduce those silly faces. Definitely keep that positivity up ❤️🙏

Yeah I'm feeling alright actually, trying to keep really positive 😊 I've just been so tired recently. I'm having some blood tests done on Tuesday because I've been having alot of hair loss which I'm assuming might be linked to the MC because the only time I have had anything like this is a couple of months post partum! So they are doing a full blood count and thyroid /iron etc! I'm leaving towards it being an iron deficiency also because of the tiredness xx

@VP91x yeah it is strange I did mine once 2hrs apart where I hadn't actually left my bed and was like 0.6 different and I checked the 2nd temp twice 🤯

Yeah I'm all good in my happy phase, starting CB tomorrow a day later than they recommend but trying to reduce the days of flashing 😂 and just trying to stay calm... I've actually got a really good feeling about this month which obviously could end in disappointment but no point thinking about that before fertile week even starts. How are you feeling apart from your apps messing you around? x

2020wish · 23/05/2020 16:30

Ok Luke warm it is then lol
I’ve no shower so going to have to make do. One of our many sacrifices I suppose. Thank you for replying

Ejb86 · 23/05/2020 16:25

@2020wish you're not supposed to. Linked to neural tube defects I think. I'm like you, I like it piping hot and I keep topping it up as it cools. It's one of the hardest sacrifices for me when I'm pregnant.

2020wish · 23/05/2020 16:16

Did you check it with thermometer?

@2020wish I would always keep my baths to 37c when I was pregnant xxx

2020wish · 23/05/2020 15:52

@VP91x I would take the first temp after the longest sleep and discard the other one.

Weird question girls. Is it safe to have a hot bath in early pregnancy. Like not boiling but nice and warm. My mum is old school and telling me no lol but I love baths

@SmileyT yeah, so weird isn't it!! I thought it would have been higher slightly later on but such a big drop.

How are you? SMEP all going ok? Xx

OP posts:
SmileyT · 23/05/2020 15:48

@VP91x I'd always use the temp after longest sleep as that will be the BBT I always find it confusing if I temp more than once so try to avoid it as it never comes out as I'd expect it to 🤔

Re6ecc4 · 23/05/2020 14:43

@VP91x fingers crossed AF doesn't get me. It's so difficult to cope with

@Bellabubble it is so random isn't it it? I've done that before and it hasn't had much of a fluctuation, but I've ignored the second temp like you say.

It is quite a big drop between the temps in half an hour or so especially since I didn't get up or anything 🤔🤔 xx

@vp91x I had this the other day - I had done one as I woke up needing a wee, then went back to bed and napped for an hour, got back up then thought - I wonder how high my temp is when I’ve been up and about (I’m a bit random at times!) and it was lower than my first bbt of the day!! If I have woken up within the 2hour window, and had a similar amount of sleep, and haven’t got a cold, had a drink etc then I always take my first temp. If any of the other things have happened then I enter it but get it to discount it from the algorithm. The drinking one is only if I have had a bit than norm, although I drink so rarely these days I think even one now can make me giddy at times lol! xx

Ah, I'm stressing myself out over this charting stuff!

This morning I woke up at 04:25am took my temp straight away - 36.49 so all good. Normally I temp between 05:00-05:45.

I didn't go back to sleep but stayed in bed. At around 05:00am I took my temp again out of curiosity because it was nearer my actual time. My little girl then woke up so I didnt get to check what it said. I've just looked back it was 36.15!! If anything I expected it to rise.

Which one do I take? This is my chart with the lower temp. When I put the lower temp it switched it back to being at 6DPO if I leave the higher temp in it goes to 5DPO.

@Re6ecc4 oh that is a good thing then, fingers crossed for you. Yeah, I would hate to see an BFN 😩 xx

OP posts:
Re6ecc4 · 23/05/2020 10:09

@VP91x I'm gonna wait until I'm due on I think, my fiancé gets down with negatives so I dont wanna hype him up and get my period.
I'm hoping I might be pregnant as no PMS either but we'll see! Usually I'd get PMS around now pre-miscarrage

VP91x · 23/05/2020 10:04

@Re6ecc4 put that test to the back of your mind, you know it won't be accurate. Maybe wait for two more days? So then you know you'll be at least 10DPO and use a sensitive one xx

OP posts:
Re6ecc4 · 23/05/2020 09:55

@VP91x I did test and it was bfn 😬 dont know what I expected being how early it is and how late I got the BFP last time!
Thankyou @SmileyT feeling a bit disheartened now but hopefully!

Hayleylou89 · 23/05/2020 09:41

@Diorissimo1985 is this ur first pregnancy aftee ur loss they are def strong and I know u feel similar to last time but that might just ur bodys way of feeeling pregnant u dont know if thats necessary the feeling of losing a baby but maybe just ur only experience of pregnancy? Xx I say this bacause i had horrific and i mean horrific pain in the first 8 weeks of preganncy last time and i thought i was having ectopic but the baby was fine i went 23 week and it had nothing to do with them pains... Im half expecting them pains again but i wont assume its a bad sign its just the way my body deals with pregnancy... hope this makes sense 🤦🏽‍♀️ it does in my head x

SmileyT · 23/05/2020 09:33

Ahh so good to see all the digi confirmations... congrats again to those that got their BFPs and good luck @VP91x and @Re6ecc4 hopefully you can join these lovely ladies in celebrating Feb babies next week aswell. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Diorissimo1985 · 23/05/2020 09:02
