POAS Anonymous - Thread 2

@DrS44 That isn’t low for a temperature. I would only say you were low if you were in the 35s so don’t worry about it.

I feel really chilled aswell. What will be will be and there’s no point stressing over it.

@Dex1521 I’m had the worst luck so I’m sure you’ll be fine, we went and viewed the house in February 😂 don’t think I ever want to move again to be honest lol. X

@jessi60 ah no that makes me worry! Hope yours gets sorted soon too nothing worse than waiting 🤣

@Bells20 that's unreal! That line is glowwwingggg yassss 👏🏻👏🏻🌟 so exciting for you!

@Dex1521 congrats on the mortgage that's fab!! I got my withdrawal a few days after I stopped the pill and then my period was 32 days after that?? But it was quite light! Lasted 3 days 4/5 were very very light!

@jessi60 gosh sounds awful! Hmmm you never know though!

@positivitytree2020 your chart looks great - although I don't know much about charts 🤣

I'm CD 10 no peak yet all tests are about 20-30%! Hoping to ovulate earlier this time! Was so late last cycle!

I've started temping! Can anyone advise -
This morning - I took my temp and it was 36.15 so pretty low! Well very low! But it was an hour earlier than i usually would take it at like 5.30am and I also didn't sleep very well so might that be why?? Or would it have any other significance?

I'm much more chill this time round- which I'm hoping will help! I think its because I'm so busy at work and I've got loads to do for Christmas! I'm really hoping I can keep this attitude up and just test after Christmas 🤣 because if I got a positive it would be great and all but I couldn't have a drink and would have to hide it! And if I got a negative then it would ruin Christmas 🤣🤣

@Dex1521 That’s exciting about the house! Our mortgage offer expires on the 20th December and the searches are still not back after 7 weeks. There’s a massive backlog so I’ve been panicking over it. Believe it or not it’s been six months since we applied and it’s still not sorted 🤦🏻‍♀️ But got word yesterday they will extend it for us thank god.

Took forever to get the survey sorted aswell and the results back for it! Hope yours manages to go more smoothly 🤞🏼 xx

I meant to say bloody period not blood period🤣🤣🤣 wasn’t actually trying to describe it 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Bells20 Ah congrats again! How exciting!!!

Not much to report from me, I didn’t get my period on CD 28 like usual .. so maybe the second peak ovulation was the proper one 🤷🏻‍♀️ Soo I’m cycle day 29 and apparently 8DPo if I actually did ovulate when it said I did 🤣 who knows when I’ll get my blood period now!

Had a phone call from the doctors saying I had campylobacter when I wasn’t very well and that I need antibiotics so that’s fun. Thought I wasn’t exaggerating with how poorly I was 🤣 so doubt my chances of being pregnant this month are very high with all of that going on Xxx

@PowerOfFlowers think you're the first person I've ever seen to say they're feeling relaxed during TWW! Happy to hear it though and enjoy those drinks! I'm not really a big drinker but the second I got my positive test I had the strongest desire to have a glass of wine!

I will tell mine and OH's parents at Christmas but then keep it a secret until after 12 week scan when I will hopefully feel more reassured that everything is ok!

@GreenApplesYo I just told OH about your twin comment and his little face lit up! He said he would love to have twins haha so maybe not so scary after all! I am jealous beyond words of that snow- so beautiful!

@bells20 mwahah sorry! It's probably not twins 🙂

I've got a scan on Sunday. I'll be 8+5. Really hope it's all OK. I keep thinking what if there's nothing there? I bet everyone thinks that though.

@AMS19 the puking is definitely a good sign! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I haven't actually been sick yet, but did sit in the bathroom retching yesterday after drinking some water before I'd had breakfast. Lesson learned!

@Dex1521 congrats on the mortgage! 🙂Very exciting.

@PowerOfFlowers that chart is looking great!!

I am showing off now but here's a snow pic from this morning's walk in the woods.

Awww @Bells20 its very exciting! Did you say you're going to start telling people soon?

I'm haven't got any urge to test which is very unlike how I was last month. I'm out having drinks tomorrow and will be having some wine with Sunday roast so I'll test a week today I think if AF hasn't arrived. I feel strangely relaxed 😂

@PowerOfFlowers I feel drunk! Haha like the world doesn't quite seem real, I think I'm just still in shock and every time I remember I get a surge of adrenaline. Don't really have symptoms apart from some mild cramping and I have been ridiculously forgetful for the last few days. That chart looks wonderful!!when are you planning to test?

@Dex1521 sorry I missed your comment about the mortgage approval- that's so exciting!!! Fingers crossed your offer is accepted.

Hello! Happy Friday!
Oh wow @Bells20 you are most definitely pregnant!! That's a very strong line. How you feeling? I had no idea you had to choose where to give birth so early on!
That's good news you've been discharged @AMS19 and even better news you've been sick - 😂 Even further progress! Can you eat or are you keeping to beige food?
Congrats @Dex1521 - very exciting time for you!! 🤞🏻 your offer gets acceptex!
No snow here @GreenApplesYo but quite cold!

Not much news over here - 7/8do with a week to go until AF makes an appearance. Why does it feel like such a long time!!
Bbt went up again yesterday which is good. Down slightly this morning but still high. Attached a chart from FF as it shows the increase much better than Premom. Had pizza and wine last night and felt very sick when I was trying to sleep so didn't sleep well. I doubt it's connected because I feel like that most times I eat pizza as I'm lacto-free but last night just ate it as I was haaangry!! 🙈

@GreenApplesYo god I didn't even think about the possibility of twins 😂😂😂😂 London was forecast snow today but I don't think we've had any, bloody freezing though!! Did you say you had an early scan coming up soon?

@Dex1521 ah fab that your withdrawal is done fingers crossed for that incoming BFP!! I ovulated 14 days after my withdrawal bleed so presume I just settled into a regular cycle straight away. hopefully that will be the case for you too!

@AMS19 I'd be inclined to see it as a positive thing if you've been discharged my goodness I hope bubba grows nicely and the bleed does not! I've gone with the Royal London Hospital and I'm hoping thats it's changed quite a bit in recent years for the better 😂

Morning everyone! Ive missed so much recently my phone used to notify me every time someone posted and for some reason its stopped doing it...strange. My AF is basically gone this morning just when I wipe there is a light little bit but not enough to wear a liner or ruin knickers lol so must have just been my withdrawal bleed so fully expecting a period in the next week or so. How long did it take for everyone else to get their first proper AF after their withdrawal bleed?

We also got some good news we have been approved for a mortgage today and going to put an offer in today on a house we have seen which we love ... and has the perfect size nursery in it too

@Bells20 thats amazing so happy for you and that more people in this group are getting their BFPs I wanna be next lol

how is everyone else doing @positivitytree2020 @PowerOfFlowers @DrS44 @AMS19 @GreenApplesYo @Emmgrem @Foxl2222 @Lucille3 if ive missed anyone I do apologise but let me know how you all are!

Oooh @bells20 that's looking amazing. I think that's the darkest 12dpo I've seen on here. Haha I wonder if it's twins!! Imagine 😳

Haha yeah I had a scary moment of thinking oh crap what have I done, now I have to give birth! too. I think it still hasn't properly sunk in!

It's snowy here. Anyone else have any? I love snow ❄️❄️🌨️

Morning everyone! Any updates?? Hope everyone is doing well, that OPK peaks are on their way and those in TWW are coping with POAS urges ok!

A little update from me, this was my FRER this morning. I wasn't expecting it to be so strong so quickly, it might just be the lighting of the photo but it is very strong in real life too. My OH persuaded me to tell the GP and they want me to self refer for antenatal care so I've had to choose which hospital/birthing centre I want now which honestly makes me feel sick. I thought a lot about getting pregnant but hadn't thought AT ALL about actually giving birth haha. Feels so so early to have to make a decision like this but I'm just going to roll with it and hope for the best!

Hope everyone has a good day x

@Bells20 I’m fine thanks. Should of got my period today if I got it on cycle day 28 ( as I did last month) but hasn’t shown today. Did a frer test to make sure and was negative this morning. But then i had that other peak at CD 20 so would make me 6DPO today based off that peak. So I don’t know how long this cycle is going to be 🤷🏻‍♀️ Doubting if I even ovulated at all this month 🙁

@Emmgrem No, I don’t do temperatures. I do mixed day and night shifts so don’t know how accurate it would be for me to be honest Xx

@Emmgrem I'm sure your chart will even itself out. I don't know what my chart was doing tbh, I was using the compare my chart feature on FF last night and all the pregnancy ones were high and stayed high so I was convinced I wouldn't get a BFP. I've been sleeping really badly the last few nights though, definitely no more than 3 consecutive hours so that probably affected my temps.

And yes this was my first cycle post withdrawal bleed! Really surprised by how quickly it happened and I feel so lucky!

Loving the enthusiasm for mat leave lunches! All are welcome haha lots more BFPs please 🤞

Hi ladies,
Wow so much to catch up on!

Firstly @Bells20 ohmigosh how exciting! Keep testing and updating us! 🤞❤️🎉 Are you on your first proper cycle after withdrawal bleed?

@Dex1521 Sorry to hear about AF. I know what you mean. The first one is such a b*tch! But on the plus side, new cycle and easier tracking and means we’re getting back to normal post-pill!
I think we all feel the same regarding having a fear of infertility! There just seems like more that can go wrong than right, but perhaps likely to hear more of the bad where we’re on a forum 🤷🏻‍♀️

@positivitytree2020 So do your temps have to keep increasing in pregnancy then? I thought they just had to stay above the cover line? I’m still learning! I love studying other people’s charts! Bells20 looked like she had a steady dip on hers and still got a BFP 🤞

@jessi60 with your two different peaks, what did FF confirm as your O date? If you’re temping?

@PowerOfFlowers Thank you for the reassurance about AF and moods lovely! That’s a great tip about coping strategy with DH.

@AMS19 so lovely to see your scan and hear how you’re getting on. So is a private one too? I’m guessing the nhs don’t pay for one until 12 weeks which seems crazy late. Fingers crossed all is ok keep us updated!

As for me, I’m CD8 here after my crazy short cycle and fingers crossed this time is more normal as I haven’t had any early ovulation signs yet so hope that means a more normal length cycle this month.
My next worry is that my temps never really went down during AF, and as you can see the first 8 days they’ve been up and down loads but generally they are really high, like LP high don’t you think ?? Not what should be happening for pre-ov temps? I take at 8am every morning when my alarm goes off, before my head lifts off the pillow. (See my chart so far this month and last month)

@PowerOfFlowers @AMS19 @Bells20 me too!! East London here 🙈 just need to get the bfp now!
So exciting reading about everyone's scans! 😁
