@VP91x any news on your static smiley yet? Or is he still a flashy twat? 🤣🤣 xx

elliew818 · 15/06/2020 10:18

Fingers crossed for your sticky bean @2020wish!
@MichT4 I have no idea about BBT but I'd say it all depends on your personality type, I get stressed out by too much info because it becomes all consuming for me, other people hate the unknowns and so find having more date to be calming, I'd say do what works best for you.
Glad you're so regular @VP91x and now you know to DTD next 3 days! I'm looking forward to AF going so we can start baby making too.

Banbi · 15/06/2020 10:17

Ok. AF well and truly here. I'm in for next month, cycle buddies @Eli2020 @elliew818 - also, ta for the warning re Morrison's pink grapefruit. At least if I go for it I'll know what to expect Hmm

Congrats @Saim86! And fingers crossed @2020wish

Niisa · 15/06/2020 10:08

@2020wish SHOW USSSSS 🤩

Tink20058 · 15/06/2020 09:53

@2020wish can you open the casing and hold the actual test strip upto the light? I ended up a pro at it 🤣🤣🤣 good luck 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 xxx

HopeForRainbowbaby · 15/06/2020 09:50

@2020wish wow !! I'm hoping for strong bfp and healthy pregnancy for you 😊 it is rather early but not impossible ! And if you think you have implanted two days ago, then definitely possible 👍and yes, I would also like to see the test as I like to look at them too... haha actually I'm missing testing as I have stopped with OVs and I'm waiting to be further in dpos, I'm 5 dpo

Niisa · 15/06/2020 09:46

Congrats @Saim86! How many days dpo are you??

I'm sure it'll get darker.. mine looked similar to that on Saturday and I took another test this morning - was a lot darker! Top one is Saturday's and the bottom one is this morning xx

VP91x · 15/06/2020 09:43

@2020wish oh post your test! I love looking at one 😂

@MichT4 I'm glad you called to get yourself the re-assurance. It is true that our bodies do take a while to settle. I know mine did post MC I still think that 20 and 24 day cycle I had after my period finally came back I didn't ovulate so it is possible. Xx

@2020wish...I want to see your test! Fingers so tightly crossed. And thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it and it’s great to hear some of your experiences.

Funny you say about stress, I caved and called my doctor. I figured if I could get blood tests it wouldn’t hurt either way. I had a little blub on the phone as she told me that I shouldn’t be temping or doing OPKs because they just increase anxiety. She said she wouldn’t be able to do bloods now (well she would but the results could be skewed) because of how soon it is after MC and the likelihood is that hormones still won’t have settled down. She said she wouldn’t necessarily expect someone to ovulate for a couple of months. She wants me to only track my periods and if nothing has happened by September then she will take bloods.
I think I’ll keep temping because it’s just the Ava so no real pressure. But I need to relax about it like you said, and hopefully then things will fall into place. Perhaps worrying so much so soon isn’t helping things, but it’s so hard not to.
Not sure about waiting til September, seems so far away. I might use my private medical before then if nothing happens. Will see.

Just thought I’d update you as it was so similar to what you said @2020wish with the stress of temping when it’s new. Like both you and @VP91x suggested I think I need more data and to relax a bit, which I will try and do. Maybe my temp will spike soon and this will all be silliness.

Good luck today @Diorissimo1985

2020wish · 15/06/2020 08:58

@vp91x yes if I am pregnant and progress then I have to take to until 36/37 weeks

VP91x · 15/06/2020 08:53

@2020wish so so hopeful for you this month!! If you get a BFP then will you continue to take the aspirin?

I'm CD16 now xx

@Diorissimo1985 good luck with your appt today 🥰

Ladies I absolutely caved and did a frer... I’m only 7dpo ... I think I can see a line .... it’s extremely faint and definitely would not be picked up by camera. Dint know if I have line eyes and I’m going crazy. Is 7dpo way too early? Hahah I’ve heard of people getting them so early but I dunno... I think I implanted on 5DPO going by temps. Going to leave the test and see if it gets darker as it dries in. Not mentioning to DH yet. The nerves have started that it’s another chemical and a 4th loss

2020wish · 15/06/2020 08:48

@VP91x ohh least you have got a good indicator than ovulation is right around the corner. What cycle day are you again ?

2020wish · 15/06/2020 08:47

@chloedancer897 I’m 7dpo and getting twinges, slight nausea, tiredness, sneezing and runny nose which is a pregnancy symptoms I have had before

@Diorissimo1985 yes taking it every night and progesterone cream

@Saim86 I see it congrats!!! So happy you caught so soon

@elliew818 and @MichT4 thank you

@MichT4 temping can be so stressful. I was so stressed the first month I do it and nearly gave up. I ovulated late that month also... I’m starting to think it was down to the stress of temping that held of my ovulation?? This month though I’m a lot more calmer with it and I ovulated right on time . I’m sorry I can’t help much with your charts as I’m just new at it also but try not to let it get to you, you will ovulate and if your LH is normally the normal length then I believe it still will stay they normal length regardless of how late you ovulate. Fingers crossed for ovulation soon

VP91x · 15/06/2020 08:31

@MichT4 no don't be silly, I'm just as bad when I don't get an answer. I mean I saved up all my pee for a day waiting for my sticks 😂

If I didn't have the same trend as last month right now, I'd be losing my mind over all these flashies and no peak yet xxx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 15/06/2020 08:21

@VP91x yeah I do think it’s difficult when I haven’t tracked a full cycle yet, I have no trend. I should be able to wait 24 hours but it’s tough when it feels like every day could be a day sooner that I got some answers. Appreciate it seems dramatic after one dip xx

VP91x · 15/06/2020 08:09

@MichT4 also, once you get like a temp rise from what I have seen on other charts you get fluctuations within that 'higher range'

Annoying thing about BBT charting is you don't get a clear picture until the end of the cycle. Useful in retrospect but not day by day xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 15/06/2020 08:02

@VP91x thank you so much lovely, I really appreciate your help and support. I need a level head and if I tell OH I’m worried about a little temp dip I think he’ll think I’ve lost it! Maybe I have (I hope). I was just so sure I’d wake and see a big rise today xx

VP91x · 15/06/2020 07:52

@MichT4 I would say see what happens over the next two days and then if you're still concerned then give your GP a ring to put your mind at rest. ❤️

I really think it will be okay though, try not to worry (sorry, its so hard to not worry!) xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 15/06/2020 07:50

@VP91x yeah maybe. I might call the docs and see what they might suggest and then see what happens in the next day or so. Or I’ll just do that the other way round so I don’t sound like a crazy lady.
Thank you xxx

VP91x · 15/06/2020 07:46

@MichT4 ava may well be right! Today is a tiny dip and you might start to see more of an upward trend. Ava has more data overall so it will probably be quite accurate I would say?

Alot of things have risen since Saturday so I would say that's positive? Xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 15/06/2020 07:43

@VP91x Ava has me having ovulated on Saturday.
They are normally 33-35 days, and today is CD23 so I don’t have much hope if I’ve not ovulated yet.

Sorry, such negativity first thing on a Monday. This journey is really hard and I just wish I knew what was going on.

I feel like maybe I should wait another night as I was googling charts and stuff this morning and sometimes this happens but I can’t find a reason for it so it makes me think I should call. Just not sure they’ll take me very seriously xx

VP91x · 15/06/2020 07:37

@MichT4 noo please don't think like that! You might just be having a longer cycle. How long are they normally?

Don't be disheartened because it could rise within the next couple of days. When does Ava think you'll ovulate? Xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 15/06/2020 07:35

@VP91x I’m just concerned that if I haven’t, my cycles are so long or my LP is really short. I just don’t know if I should do something or wait it out. Maybe my PG was a massive fluke in the one month I ovulated and now this is just going to be a real struggle 😢 xx

MichT4 · 15/06/2020 07:33

Would help if I attached it
