Ok Ive never temped before so not sure, are you covered with DTD @xoJellyBean?

I'm ok thank you, I'll be 5 weeks Friday but time seems to have gone still and I feel more nervous now than I ever did TTC! I still haven't had a single symptom though except hard nipples constantly so all that symptom spotting I used to do was pointless 😆

Omg 😨 I've missed it then. So bloody upsetting 😭 I had ewcm and pains so my first ov date made so much sense. So I've totally missed it

@xoJellyBean I think it’s because you temp didn’t rise by much and was only just at the cover line for 4days after. I would say your second chart looks right as you can see a rise in temp. Did you dtd after you thought you’d ovulated? It’s horrible isn’t it, how our bodies play tricks on us like this.

@SarahTTC2020 Took sick today so I'm home from work😭, I don't think I'll test unless af is suuuuper late. Seeing a negative result is harder than getting af sometimes 🙈 how are you doing?

OP posts:
SarahTTC2020 · 06/10/2020 14:54

@xoJellyBean eek will you wait until AF? Or test?

@Newbie0818 hopefully you get confirmation soon! It's going ok for me too. 7 dpo apparently 🤭

Newbie0818 · 05/10/2020 18:07

@xoJellyBean yeah it's ok thanks :) I seem to get a clear shift each month which is nice. I'm not sure what my body is doing right now as ov was either over the weekend or today, so I'm just waiting on the temps to confirm. How are you finding it?

@Newbie0818 how's temping going for you??

Newbie0818 · 05/10/2020 06:58

@SarahTTC2020 thank you x

@Suki2020 ah I hope this is it for you! 🤞🏼 I gave up doing opk's but have been temping :)

SarahTTC2020 · 04/10/2020 23:17

Yay @Newbie0818 FC this is your cycle 🤞🤞🤞

Suki2020 · 04/10/2020 21:31

@Newbie0818 that’s good news, keeping fingers crossed for you. Are you temping and doing OPKs still? I’m 10dpo now at long last. My cycle this time will be 63days 😩

Newbie0818 · 04/10/2020 20:09

Ladies, I'm pretty certain I ovulated yesterday, on CD19! Please send fertile thoughts this way and pray this is finally my month 🙏🏻

Sending fertility fairy dust to you all x

Suki2020 · 03/10/2020 10:03

Fingers crossed this is your month @xoJellyBean

@SarahTTC2020 ahhh🙈😱 I really hope I'm lucky! We had been away for a spa and were super relaxed so have dtd before and after, here's hoping!

SarahTTC2020 · 03/10/2020 08:23

@Newbie0818 yes I’m just going completely cold turkey during the tww, having some alcohol/caffeine in the pre ovulation bit but just less than before TTC! To be fair I’ve found some great non-alcoholic beers so don’t feel like I’m missing out too much

Newbie0818 · 02/10/2020 14:10

@xoJellyBean all good, just still waiting for ov :) hubby booked his SA yesterday so waiting on that an then hopefully fertility clinic referral 🤞🏼

@justlonelystars that's good then! I'm quite lucky as I can't have caffeine as it sets off my anxiety, so for me that's not an issue haha. The tww is the worst isn't it. I would just say don't feel you have to give everything up completely as life is short and who knows how long it will be for! Make the most of it before pregnancy 😉

justlonelystars · 02/10/2020 11:43

@xoJellyBean no, it wasn’t working for me. I have quite bad anxiety so wake up during the night with worry and toss and turn for hours. So by the time it’s time for me to temp in the morning, I haven’t had the 4 hours uninterrupted sleep I’m meant to and my temps just didn’t make sense. I’m just doing LH strips daily now - more expensive but has a much better chance of catching ovulation for me than temping!

@justlonelystars you're doing really well then!! We have a coffee machine in my office and it's just so handy lol are you temping this month?

OP posts:
justlonelystars · 02/10/2020 11:36

@xoJellyBean I’ve really REALLY tried to but I might still have the sneaky coffee when things get tough. Compared to my 3x coffee, 2 cans of diet cokes and about 5 cups of tea a day previously I feel I’m doing good. I definitely have a serious addiction!

xoJellyBean · 02/10/2020 11:32

@justlonelystars have you given up on caffeine completely?? I have about two coffees per day, no idea if it's affecting anything😂

OP posts:
justlonelystars · 02/10/2020 11:26

Thanks @Newbie0818 and @xoJellyBean

I’m struggling with giving up caffeine so much! Alcohol I feel very meh about (thought I’d miss it a lot more than I do!) but other than that I’m doing good. I’m such an anxious person though, I hate the two week wait before I can start testing!
