@NamechangeTTC whahahahaha!!! Maybe its just your bowels playing tricks on you.

@Welliedays yeah I guess its more of like a tick box exercise rather than anything useful. 5 more weeks to the scan 🙈 golly that feels like an eternity away lol!!! Cant believe time is going by so quickly though.

At least the symptoms haven't been constantly bad i think you're pretty lucky hahaha.

@Kaybobx was it a big drop or just a normal fluctuation? It got really cold here by us last night and I still slept with the windows wide open so woke up with a huge drop in my temp from yesterday to today lol whoops will be closing the windows tonight lol!!! I guess that's all that was interesting that happened with only 2 days of data its pretty bland lol. Some things went up like my pulse rate and breathing rate I guess my body was trying to warm me up 😂😂😂 must have not got a hot flash last night from the last night of soy 🤣🤣🤣
As for your Dr Google charts all I can is I hope they are wrong.
How are you feeling about your appointment on Saturday?

@Elakiya yeah I mean I wonder if because we keep getting AF its like it feels like its out of our reach because we haven't gotten it yet but at the same time we still secretly keep hope which is why we test.
Lol men don't understand the app wouldn't be accurate if we don't use opks, but I can see why he thinks like that - because men don't really tend to stress about it so they just assume we shouldn't either they don't realise its our bodies that go through hormonal changes every month regardless of if we pregnant or not. If only they could live a cycle in our shoes hahahaa.
I am really impressed by how much knowledge your hubby has on conception its truly profound.

@Elakiya im confident it's because ive not ovulated this cycle. I vag temp now so can't be for any reason to do with waking up etc

Elakiya · 10/09/2020 17:32

@candycrush2298 Yh I agree with you. I wonder if because we haven't had success whether we just believe it will never happen. My husband is very against me using OPK's for this reason. He thinks that because I use opks and spend half my life on mumsnet hahaha that I now feel like I am putting in full effort and threfore it upsets me more when I am unsucessful each month. He thinks we should just do SMEP (Yes he knows what it is... the man seems well versed in trying to conceive) but not test until one of the apps tell me I'm late.

My opinion is screw him lol!

@Kaybobx wonder why you're temps dropping. You sure you're not just rolling around in your sleep too much? I mean I slept on one side of the bed and woke up on the other side so I'd be pretty bad at temping

@snapple21 I hadn't realised you were talking about a thermometer when you said its dead I washed it with bed sheets I was mortified I thought you'd washed your pet!

@Welliedays When is your due date? Is it late April/May. Time is flying by :)

@NamechangeTTC If it makes you feel any better, I worked with a lady who'd been trying to conceive for 2 years. She was put on clomid and she got pregnant on the 4th month. But she said that when she got pregnant she was very shocked because she was spotting 1 to 2 days before AF had arrived but experienced no spotting at ovulation or at implantation. She was pregnant.

Welliedays · 10/09/2020 16:59

Ahaha @kaybobx I feel its going so so so slowly!!

Kaybobx · 10/09/2020 16:58

@Welliedays oh wow! How are you 7 weeks already?! Thats gone so fast.

@Elakiya haha what you like! My temp dropped again this morning, i know it means nothing at this stage but Dr Googles charts that have dropped dpo4 and 6 have not ended in pregnancy 😢

@candycrush2298 did your bracelet have anything interesting to say this morning? Im sure my temps were alot higher with soy

Welliedays · 10/09/2020 16:38

@candycrush2298 I don't think the appointment will really help me much, I won't hear the heartbeat or see the baby but it will be good to reach the milestone! Everyone I know who is pregnant are getting private scans so I wonder if I should too, but there's only one place to go around here and its £70 and 40 mins away.. The scan in the hospital is 5 miles away and free... I just have to wait another 5+ weeks for it aha.

Symptoms come and go to be honest, but I felt pretty bad this morning. Seem alright as long as I remember to eat often!

Thanks @namechangettc

NamechangeTTC · 10/09/2020 16:13

I don’t think it’s enough to be ovulation at all!

Glad you’re ok @Welliedays

I’m now not even sure if the cramps were cramps as I’m now on my 3rd or 4th shit of the day 😂

@Welliedays LOL yeah I understand I wish it was all alien to me whahahah!! When I started TTC I had no idea about any of this... sigh.... I miss those days when we just BD'd and thought it would happen so naive LOL.
That is great 7 weeks, so not long until your appointment with the midwife then?? You looking forward to it? How are your symptoms?

@NamechangeTTC wonder what has actually caused this then, I know spotting around ovulation is normal and spotting around implantation is normal but all other spotting can signal issues. Don't think its an issue for you for you as it could well be implantation - which I am really hoping it is for you x

NamechangeTTC · 10/09/2020 12:55

@candycrush2298 was literally a single episode the other day. Strange. If it wasn’t tmi I’d add pics!!

Welliedays · 10/09/2020 12:48

Aww thanks @candycrush2298, all is well with me. I've just been loitering in thr background as I haven't had much to say with your all temping etc as it's alien to me 😂. I'm 7 weeks now, so seem to be getting OK on. Still feeling sick alot though

@snapple21 awwww NOOOO!!! Just terrible. Well you confirmed ovulation, it just means you wil literally be going in blind for the rest of this cycle.

@NamechangeTTC that seems really bizarre!! spotting the other day and now a teeny spot. Hmmm very weird.

NamechangeTTC · 10/09/2020 11:30

I have a bit of brown today. Tiniest like a pin prick. How strange. The cramping has reduced

@Elakiya awwww yeah I do know some months you just know... but I wonder if we really know or if we just get so used to not getting pg that we automatically feel out. Like I haven't even ovulated yet, not tracking and chilling and I already feel like this isn't our month. How does that even happen? Do you think we just get so negative about it all?

@snapple21 awww no LOL! I assume it no longer works?

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 10/09/2020 11:17

@Elakiya I have the same gut feeling. I feel AF is coming too but not due till Friday apparently

Crampy today.

@snapple21 how?!

snapple21 · 10/09/2020 11:11

I've just accidentally washed my thermometer! Ffs 😅

Elakiya · 10/09/2020 11:07

@candycrush2298 Yh I know 7DPO is way too early. But I also have this gut feeling that this month is not my month. You sometimes just know. I am okay though not overly emotional probably getting used to it lol.

Eating isn't going great. I need exams to end so I can sort myself out.

@Elakiya awww noooooooo!!! You know 7dpo is waaaaay too early!!! Hahahahha. I completely get the urges though. Its like you just need to know and the feeling is so overwhelming. Don't beat yourself up xx

Elakiya · 10/09/2020 10:28

@candycrush2298 I caved completely and took a PG test ...it was negative (What is wrong with me why am I even testing?). Really bad cramps as well I can feel AF is close by. She'll be here on Monday.
