@Boc86 thats great holding thumbs for you xx

@NamechangeTTC you never out until AF shows holding thumbs for you xx

@Elakiya no havent had that sorry thats a new one to me as a secondary symptom of ovulation have you googled it?

@Boc86 how strange that you get period flu wow I have never heard of it. At least you have a great tell tale sign that you are preggers. How many days before AF is due to you get ill?

@Boc86 you will keep us dated on what the results of the blood work are yeah? Really hoping that its all OK and if there is a problem they can help you fix it quickly xx

Used my cup last night it was great think I have gone back to my light flow, the cup was less than half and had it in for like maybe 10 hours. And took my temp without any issues. Wow you run warm down there hahahah I was 36.54 this morning that was my luteal phase temps last cycle when I temped orally hahaha. I want to delete yesterdays temp because it was orally but I don't want a break in my chart 😂😂😂😂

@Boc86 I know you do!! Really hoping this is it for you!!

@Elakiya awww thank you its ok. yeah I think sometimes it doesn't drop till the day of AF and sometimes it can drop a few days before according to Dr Google. Either way if it drops its not good lol. But if it stays above the coverline it could be good news like if the days after the drop it rises again or stays the same that could still mean good news but mine dropped the next day below the coverline and thats like obvious lol

@NamechangeTTC hey hey at least you found something you like and you didn't vomit I would say its a plus lol!!

Agh sorry you still feeling bleh hopefully it goes away soon xx

@Boc86 awww thanks hun its OK was expecting it after yesterday's temp drop so had already mentally prepared and all the tests were negative except for that one where I thought I saw a very faint line but was probably just line eyes lol!!

I have decided with me returning to work a few days a week will hopefully fall on the 8/9dpo days as I only want to test from about 10dpo earliest its driving me too over the edge and I am obsessing over it too much. I need to focus on other things its becoming all consuming and the stress isn't going to help me anything.

As for you though I cant wait to hear its not a chemical and you have a sticky bean really rooting for you xx

@Kaybobx awww I am so glad he is feeling better about it all. I know our men have one job.... to ejaculate lol but the emotions are there for them too.
Well then maybe it will be about the same now, maybe a little quicker now because you using opks that work for you and you're temping and you did bd a lot lol so maybe you have just increased your chances xx I am hopeful for you cant wait for next week to see these squinters lol!!

Yeah that's probably why I am feeling like something must be wrong with me so they can fix it and we can get pregnant lol!
I have no idea what your next steps will be maybe do some scans on you??
I am not sure, dont quote me but this is my vague understanding - the scan is to check for anomalies like polyps, fibroids, cysts etc. Then if that's all clear they will scan to see your follicles when you are about to ovulate to measure the size and make sure the quality is good and then I think they do an HSG which is the dye down the tubes which check for blockages. I dont know about the order just listing as I think it would be lol even if they do all that its just tidbits I have been picking up on here and there so please don't quote me i could be totally wrong. But if they do all that and it all comes back clear (you are meant to be extremely fertile after an HSG) so if you not preggo after that then I think they move onto IUI and IVF.

@Kaybobx yeah it was me for bd but now I am keen to use it for its intended purpose.

And yeah I know its weird I think thats why hubby was hesitant before becuase he felt like its his fault we weren't conceiving. Now that he knows its not him he is much more invested. Even though we know our guys have to go for the NHS testing I really think we made the right choices getting these tests for morale. And yes sometimes there's just no explanation. I dont know why but I feel like there's still something small that just needs fixing like maybe a tube blockage or something. But we will only know when he has gone for his tests and they move back to me to continue investigating.

@Kaybobx yeah I still have a full box of tampons so wanted to use them up but now since I want to temp think I will use tampons during the day and then cup at night. Think I will like the cup more as its definitely healthier.

Whahahahaah maybe he just wants to keep bd'ng. Hubby and I love to play wrestle so the day he did his test I jabbed him in the sude and he said "dont do that you will hurt my sperm, you wanna make some babies don't you" oh flip I couldn't stop laughing but just made me realise he definitely needed the test for reassurance.

@Kaybobx lol yeah think its gonna be fine just gonna use it with the cup lol!!!

Is hubby feeling like a champ that his test came back normal?

@NamechangeTTC well done on the aircon I miss mine they came as standard in South African homes like heating comes as standard here lol!! Thinking of buying a portable one 😂😂😂

Question, I sleep with tampons in I know you not supposed to but I do, I am thinking of sleeping with the menstrual cup tonight to give it a go but I am curious.. how will I temp without disturbing the cup???? Like what am I supposed to do😂😂😂
