POAS Anon Christmas Party 🌲🧑‍🎄 Ho ho ho-ws your line progression?! Thread 3

@jessi60 STOPPPP!! That's made me well up 😭😭 what a cutie! That's actually adorable I can't cope!! Eeekkk so excited for you xxxx

@Emmgrem Thank you so much! Yeah I know I look like a right moaning Myrtle now when I read back😂 I was just so convinced it wasn’t my month.

I never had any ewcm either or any type of ovulation pain. But then I had the worst stomach cramps from food poisoning I wouldn’t of noticed!

@Foxl2222 Thank you! I think I resisted because I was just convinced I wasn’t lol🤦🏻‍♀️

Sooo I told my partner this morning. I got him a birthday card that said happy birthday daddy. I was scared to do with it being so early. The look on his face bless him and he just burst out crying❤️

Done a clear blue and it’s put me at 1-2 weeks. So means I’m only 3-4 weeks. My theory is we dtd on the 25th November after I was better and that was the one. So I think I’ll be an extra week ahead tomorrow or this weekend. Xx

@Foxl2222 haha love that your mam was sharing 🤣👏🏻 defo take that as a good sign 🥳 oohhh you could conceive around Christmas! How exciting xxxxx

@Emmgrem sorry never attached

Weird though - my boobs are slightly sore this morning! I had that last time around ovulation but now I'm out of it they're sensitive? Not sure my body and LH surge have aligned 🤷🏼‍♀️

Morning all! @Emmgrem I found this on the Premom app last night - also something about a quick surge too that someone else just mentioned! So you should be okay!

We didn't DTD last night he fell asleep 🤣 I was like whsipering to him do you think we should don't once more?! 😅😅 I have worn him out! He was like groaning saying ughh aren't you past it now 🤣🤣 so I let him off! Wev done it loads some days twice a day so we should be okay!

Temp stayed up to the same today so that's a good sign I think ☺️

@Emmgrem if it’s anything last month was my first full month off the pill and i don’t think I ovulated my charts were very similar to yours they just did what they felt like it and my AF arrived 4 days before it said due but was gone in 3 days so really hope it gets sorted out for you soon and your January cycle will be normal

@Foxl2222 so good to hear from another TTC-er this is definitely a lucky group let’s hope it keeps up for us too 🤞. With regards to the vaccine and ttc I’d never thought about that as I would’ve got the vaccine as soon as I could’ve as I have asthma. Really hard to know what to do

I’ve attached my chart for today and today’s temp was the highest it’s been which is good I think let’s hope tomorrow’s temp goes up too 🤞 I had a gradual OPK peak so I’ll probably have a gradual temp rise too. Hopefully we have caught it because neither of us can be arsed DTD again lol 4 days in a row is enough 🤣

No worries, it is possible that the ratio drops so quickly if you have a rapid LH surge pattern. With this pattern, some women may only have elevated LH levels for an hour, so CD14 could be your peak if you have a cycle around 28-32 days. BBT is not the only way to confirm ovulation, the PdG test is also working to double-check if you have ovulated.

@jessi60 omg!! Congratulations!! After all that worrying over your OPKs and illness and not DTD enough and everything! 😂 I'm going to read back through your previous posts now when you would've been pregnant with no idea! You must be so relieved! ❤️❤️🙌

@DrS44 just keep DTD as much as DH will let you I say!

@Dex1521 I have no idea but I'd love to know what others think?! I don't understand the charting on premom. I think with the LH levels it just adjusts peak for each person as it understands more about your individual baseline level. Hark at me!

@Foxl2222 Nice to hear from someone else who's still going too! That initial waiting stage is long but exciting I think as you've got a whole new chance of possibility.

My OPKs have tailed off now it seems.. never got a peak or any progression really! Just low, high, low, high... and temps are just still properly random. Almost the opposite to how they should be- high in the first half of the cycle and now staying low in what should be the second half 🤷🏻‍♀️ Trying not to get worried but got to admit I've been Googling all evening! Guess the pill has messed me up but I'm sooo impatient it's annoying 🙄
AF will be due on Xmas day too if I have a normal cycle 🤨 so kinda hoping for an irregular cycle just to prevent that happening 😂

If anyone's online can you tell me whether we should DTD again tonight? 🤣🤣🤣Xxx

Hey ladies! Sorry I've been awol the last few days! Had to move house, and had af so didn't have anything exciting to report, but just sat down to all the messages and lovely to catch up and what you've all been up to! Beyond excited for all the BFP's! Deffo a lucky group🥰

@jessi60 congrats to you!!! This is amazing news!! Wow, I must admit when I was reading through I thought you are very strong willed not to have tested like a crazy person everyday leading up to now 🙈 looking forward to hearing OH's reaction :) xx

I'm now onto cycle 3, CD5 with Ov predicted for CD17- feels like forever away! But at least the lead up to Xmas should be a distraction. Had a nice chat to my mum about TTC over the weekend (blurted it out over zoom after a few g&t's) She told me I was conceived on cycle 3- probably TMI lol but maybe a good omen 🤷‍♀️🤞😅

Just had a 2/3 day af, abnormally short for me so not sure what that could mean but hopefully it doesn't have too much affect on ov🤷‍♀️

Anyone thought much about the covid vaccine and pregnancy? I work on a covid wars in the hospital and have just been reading up about it, it's not recommend to get the vaccine when TTC 😳 or they advice to wait 2 months after the vaccine before TTC! Very difficult to know what to do! 😔 xx

The attaching of a chart may help 😂

Is this correct do you think? I know people say the numbers don’t matter but it’s saying my peak was below 1 can that happen? Also if I did ovulate would it drop that low that quickly?

Suppose only way to tell I did ovulate will be BBT in a few days won’t it?

@Dex1521 temp rise should happen 1-2 days after ov and can be sharp or gradual. hope you see yours soon 🙂

@AMS19 at one point I was just on cold water from the fridge with ice cubes in it. Glad I am feeling more normal now...

@GreenApplesYo Yeah in an ideal world I would love a reading of 1 or over tonight or a line darker than the C line so I can say I hit my peak tonight but if not I’ll hopefully see a temp rise in the morning 🤞 it is weird my peak is climbing up slowly whereas most others get a out of the blue higher reading then drops again from what I’ve seen

Does my BBT start to rise after ovulation I can never remember lol

@Dex1521 that is the true spirit of a POAS addict there and I love to see it 😂

@jessi60 that's a really good point I'm basing mine off my withdrawal bleed so not a proper cycle, my cycle pre pill was 27 days so I just put that in but really who knows. I'm going for an early scan next week so hopefully they can give me a better idea! If you did a clear blue weeks indicator tomorrow it'll tell you how long it's been since conception I think so that should give you a better idea? 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you tomorrow!

@GreenApplesYo I do quite like a fruity cider so maybe I'll like it. I just want everything to taste like wine really and am always disappointed. At least shloer doesn't pretend to be wine so don't feel like I can be too disappointed by that!

Oh by the way @jessi60 if you haven't done this already I'd be tempted to take the day after your 2nd OPK peak as the day of conception and then add 2 weeks. Eg if you ovulated 16 days ago then add 14 days, it would make you 4+2? I used the dpo on my app and added 2 weeks. The scan put me 1 day ahead of what I thought, but using my dpo + 14 days was basically right.

@bells20 I tried Shloer a few weeks ago for the first time as adult... it is not the sophisticated drink my 11 year old self believed it to be (my sister and I used to have it as a treat at Xmas and Easter when the adults had wine with their meals). I ended up diluting it with soda water. But I don't like sweet drinks too much anyway, I don't like fruity cider for example.

@Dex1521 I'd definitely be doing some sneaky party cup testing hehe! You can have a private poas party at work. Hopefully you'll get a nice temp rise to confirm ov anyway, but I'd be curious to see when the peak starts to go down 🙂

@Bells20 when you work your dates out online on the calculator it asks for your cycle length but I don’t really know mine. It was 28 days the one I did have. But then this cycle I had two peaks so I don’t know which one it was cause the second peak had me a 34 day cycle 🤷🏻‍♀️ Yeah there isn’t much online about the first response rapid tests sensitivity.. hard to find out. Someone said 100 which is abit mental.
God it’s hard not to tell him to be honest. Just hoping for good news with the digital tomorrow 🤞🏼 Or that’s my plans buggered lol.

I drank shloer last new year as I was on night shift lol, we did a celebratory drink when it was midnight lol. I preferred the red one! Xx

@Bells20 that’s so weird you’d say that i found some plastic party cups whilst digging to the back of a cupboard and they’d be small enough to go inside a food bag and small enough to fit in my handbag but perfect size to pee in 🤣 so the thought definitely crossed my mind. Will take it for the hotel room and a handful of OPKs but depending on the bath situation at the office I’ll be in I could potentially do it during the day too I think. Definitely a POAS addict 😂

@jessi60 my last period was 8th November and I'm 5+2 today so I think we're pretty close too! Hoping your CB says a big pregnant! The CB digital have a sensitivity of 10, much less than the test you used I think so you should be good!! No idea how you're managing not to tell OH you're amazing! What a lovely present for him tomorrow!!!

@Dex1521 with your temp I'd just use an adjuster and input what it would have been at 7am just for consistency. Not gonna lie I'd be tempted to bring a little pot with me to wee in and test away from home 😂 you could just assume you're ovulating now/tomorrow and wait for the BBT increase to confirm?

@PowerOfFlowers have you tried Shloer before? I've seen the word so many times now I'm feeling an urge to go and buy some.

@Dex1521 Thanks so much! Aw don’t be daft you’ll get your positives soon! I mean look at me, I barley managed to dtd last month and it still happened. Still don’t know which one actually worked 🤣 hope having food poisoning won’t effect me too much. It cause miscarriages so that’s me worried!! I’ll keep yous updated when I tell him in the morning. We just sat eating dinner now, so hard not to mention it 😂😂

@PowerOfFlowers Aw really. That’s cute if we so close in dates. I’ll do the clear blue one in the morning and see what it says. I’m hoping it says pregnant 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Xx
