Hahaha loving you all predicting what you'll have 🥰🥰 when I get pregnant I won't be finding out either so I'll probs be the same! I really don't care what I have 🥰 xxxx

DrS44 · 16/12/2020 07:41

@AMS19 @Bells20 yes using FF too, that red line (below) has been there since 1DPO? Or am I waiting on something else?!

@AMS19 exactly - I'll be going to bed wayyy later and you wayyy later too and drinking etc so it's not like it would be reliable anyways?

Yaaaa I'm not sure to be honest when to test! I feel like it might ruin Christmas Day if I got a negative but then if I continue drinking as normal probably not advisable I'm not sure?! My period is due the 27th so could wait til then if AF doesn't show? Last cycle my luteal phase was really short like 9 days or something! I did ovulate very late though it was CD27. This month CD10 so hopefully it lengthens the luteal and gives me a better chance?! Xx

@Bells20 yeah I looked at the Chinese chart and mine is a girl too. So I'm pretty sure it is a girl 😂😂

OP posts:
AMS19 · 16/12/2020 07:32

@DrS44 yeah 3 days of higher temps will confirm it. FF would have given you the cross hairs today like @bells20 said. I think stopping tracking given Christmas is fine. I would say usually definitely keep going as it is really helpful to see a whole chart across a cycle. But given it is a busy month missing one cycle of information won't hurt. Hopefully you'll get a BFP so wouldnt need the information anyway! So when are you thinking about testing? Guessing by at latest Christmas day so you can know if you can drink? Eeeek you're officially in your TWW. So you're now 3DPO?

OP posts:
Bells20 · 16/12/2020 07:27

@DrS44 are you using the fertility friend app? It'll give you more lines on your chart when ovulation is confirmed. It all sounds good! If you're using premom, for some reason that confirmed ovulation a day later than FF for me. I was the same and even after I got my BFP I carried on temping and if I got a slightly lower temp one morning I'd really panic. I've stopped now and definitely feel less stressed.

@AMS19 I have exactly the same thoughts as you about gender, always wanted a girl and when I imagined myself as a mother it was always with a baby girl. But now I'm pregnant I just so want this little bean to be ok that I don't mind! Chinese gender chart says a girl though (google it- it's super Scientific 😂)

jessi60 · 16/12/2020 07:21

I really wouldn’t care what I have. When my sister was pregnant I totally wanted her to have girls, she now has two boys and they are the best things ever. So loving!!

I won’t be finding out either Xx

DrS44 · 16/12/2020 07:14

@jessi60 I thought that too!! So weird... I'm hoping it's a good sign for me too as I've been the same and it looks like I ovulated CD20 like you (which I was worried was late!!)

Sorry @Emmgrem didn't mean to leave you out! Ya Premom is helpful I find too! I think you'll be fine looking at the graduates charts 🙌🏼👏🏻

To be honest I'm trying FF but I don't find it very user friendly?! I'm a bit simple when it comes to tech though 😅😅

@positivitytree2020 yes stay true to your name and stay positive 😅👏🏻👏🏻 to be fair I think it's better to care less! I've heard loads from so many people who said as soon as they stopped obsessing it just happened! So good attitude!!

My temps have risen again 3 days in a row now so that's good 🌟 does that mean I can confirm ovulation or is there another day to go?!

I've decided I'm not going to temp when I go home despite the fact it'll be useful data. I'm just glad I used it for ovulation- I'll now let nature take its course 🤣 mainly because in the middle of the night (4.30) I woke up and took my temp last night 🤣🤣 it was still high but .2 degree lower than it should have been and was when I woke up! Seems my mind is occupied by it when I'm sleeping too (feel like an addict or something 😅). And when I seen the low number I freaked out - and that stress is just not worth it 🤣 I think I'll be better off in the long run! I'll keep temping til Friday though and hopefully it stays high 🙌🏼🌟 xxxx

AMS19 · 16/12/2020 06:59

@Dex1521 I'm 90% sure this one is a girl. Probably because I secretly wanted a little boy. But honestly now I'm pregnant I couldn't care less. I would absolutely love a little girl to hang out with and do girly things, but also have also wanted a son so would be over the moon with that too. But honeslty once your pregnant its weird, like your willing them on so much to be okay you just don't care! Im sure when I get to my second ill be more bothered as I really want one of each!!

Is everyone planning to find out the gender? We arent so I've still got another 7 months to wait patiently (something I'm not good at 😂😂😂😂)

OP posts:
AMS19 · 16/12/2020 06:56

I did start taking Evening Primrose Oil as this helps with EWCM. They had one day of it 😂😂 literally 5 days before ovulation so not even that helpful...apparently the pill stops you producing any so I think in time it would come back 🤷‍♀️

Dex1521 · 16/12/2020 06:55

@PowerOfFlowers @jessi60 I so so so hope this is my time from what everyone is saying who is PG this month I’ve the same symptoms or should I say non symptoms 🤣attached my temp chart it dropped my 0.02 but still above average so will take that as a good thing

Last night I had the most realistic dream ever .... I was giving birth 🤣😳 it felt so real like I had a few cramps I think but don’t know for sure as was asleep but I feel like I felt it 😂 can let you all know though it was a boy 💙

Does anyone else feel like they know exactly what they’re going to have or am I crazy 🤪 I’m not even pg and I’m like 90% sure I’ll have all boys maybe it’s because I reeeeeally want a girl lol I mean at the end of the day I don’t mind what it would be but would love a boy and a girl 🥰 I need to calm down haha

jessi60 · 15/12/2020 20:48

Isn’t that weird that we’ve all been similar with the lack of pain and ewcm? 🧐 x

PowerOfFlowers · 15/12/2020 20:34

@Dex1521 - last month, I had ovulation pain going from my back to my front for a few days. This month, nothing. Not even a twinge! And I kept looking out for EWCM that never came 😄

Dex1521 · 15/12/2020 20:05

@AMS19 @GreenApplesYo @jessi60 that’s all really reassuring thank you! I’ve always got something to worry about 🤣

If all three of you have experienced what I am experincing right now it’s hopefully looking up. Last month I had really sore ovulation pain on the day but that was a BFN I ovulated but this month I had nothing so fingers crossed 🤞

Also I’m going to try not symptom spot or at least not google things but by DPO 5 I’ll be going mad you watch 🤣

Bells20 · 15/12/2020 20:03

@Dex1521 looks like you had your peak last night then and your temps up which is fab! You never know it might have got higher in the early hours but obv you were asleep so weren't testing then! Fingers crossed for another 2 days of higher temps to confirm. I wouldn't worry about the number, your line was definitely dark and I'm sure I read on premom than anything over 0.8 was high. I sometimes scanned a test into premom 3 times and it'd give me 3 different numbers anyway! I know it's easier said than done and I know it's so easy for me to say from the other side but really try not to worry, everything is looking good! 💛

@Emmgrem are you drinking/peeing a lot during the day? Could it be diluted in the afternoon? Otherwise I'd say get dtd anyway, the EWCM is a good sign!

I'm really optimistic that we'll have a few more BFP's by the end of the year!

jessi60 · 15/12/2020 19:24

By the way if all goes well with myself and people are trying to conceive I can send one of you my clear blue ovulation test kit. It’s reset now cause I only used it 3 times and I kept getting low fertility, think I started using it to late. So I think it has 7 tests left to use x

jessi60 · 15/12/2020 19:22

@Dex1521 my peak wasn’t that high ..
I didnt have any ewcm or pains or anything. I honestly was convinced I didn’t ovulate since I’ve been off my implant x

GreenApplesYo · 15/12/2020 19:18

@Dex1521 yep I think it's normal for LH to drop really quickly.

I had almost no CM. My temp rise took 2 days after ovulation to show. Plus I had two LH peaks which I had not been anticipating at all. I was thinking it was a disaster and I have fertility problems because my lh and temp rise weren't textbook. I was in a state about it really!

I think it's natural to worry, but actually it's most likely you're all fine and your body knows what it's doing. Must be tough seeing the BFPs but hopefully you're not far behind?

By the way I think 80% or 0.8 on the OPKs is counted as peak? 🙂

PowerOfFlowers · 15/12/2020 19:11

Defo use premom for opks @Emmgrem and FF for bbt. That's what I did. I also inputted my bbt into Premom too, but looked at FF's chart to track it. I just found the FF bbt chart flowed better, and Premom opk chart the same. Are you taking Pregnacare or anything?

AMS19 · 15/12/2020 19:04

@Dex1521 temps up and LH down, literally perfect chart!!!

Ahh sorry @Emmgrem my fault I missed you off!

OP posts:
Dex1521 · 15/12/2020 18:54

Just in from work and done an OPK and it’s waaaaay down. Should it be like this? Also I’m worried I haven’t ovulated as well because it didn’t get over a 1 on the readings

Lots of thoughts spiralling through my head about my charts and ovulation etc, I also have had zero CM.

honestly just desperate to get pg at this rate so happy for all our graduates but can’t believe there is now more than ttc-ers, there must be magic in the air

Emmgrem · 15/12/2020 18:50

@Dex1521 so reassuring about your first full month the pill

And @DrS44 thanks for sharing that premom advice. Their stuff is always pretty helpful! Maybe I should start charting on there too...

Emmgrem · 15/12/2020 18:44

@DrS44 @positivitytree2020 I'm still here too! (waves frantically) haha 👋😆

Can't believe the graduates have outnumbered the rest of us but it does give me hope.

CD21 and this morning had EWCM and high OPK 0.6 again. But by afternoon it's gone back down to barely a line. Seems to have happened every day for the last week- high in the morning, down to low in the evening. Think my body must be desperately trying to ovulate but not quite getting there 🤷🏻‍♀️
As long as I don't get AF on Xmas day I'm happy 😆

@jessi60 Thank you! so exciting that you're going to tell your family at Xmas. Like you said you'll need their support anyway and it would be too hard to get away without an excuse for not drinking 🙈

positivitytree2020 · 15/12/2020 18:25

@Bells20 thank you! 🤞🏼Kinda gone beyond the point of caring this cycle I feel! 😂😂

Bells20 · 15/12/2020 18:16

@positivitytree2020 chart is looking fantastic! Hoping for that peak for you soon!!

positivitytree2020 · 15/12/2020 17:58

@Bells20 I am CD13 now, been getting highs on my CB tests the last 3 days so just waiting for a peak now!🤞🏼 I ovulated CD15 last cycle so I imagine it’ll be around the same this month.
My pre-ovulation temps have been slightly higher this cycle than my last, so not sure what to make of that!

Started taking B6 as well this cycle so hoping it helps my LP, even by a day or two and I’d be happy! It’s always been 11 days since coming off the pill!
