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

There’s a couple of days missed later in the cycle as I ran out of the easy at home ones and my other ones from Wilko are abit shitty x

🤔

@GreenApplesYo Yeah I’ve still done them. Don’t know why cause they’ve dropped right down which it’s mean to before af shows, well that’s what my app says. I don’t know how to make my app continue to count the cycle days, as you can see from the photo it’s started counting CD 1 when it should be CD 35 at that point xx

Oh sorry didn't see your 2nd message 🙂 @jessi60 if you have loads of cheapies you could just do the OPKs to see if anything happens?

@jessi60 sounds so frustrating! I wonder if you did ovulate? AF could be late for all sorts of reasons though annoyingly. Have you done any OPKs in the last few days?

I’ve tired to google things and it can take months for your periods to settle down after removal I always was just naive thinking after I got my first one at a perfect 28 days that things would continue. Apparently it shouldn’t effect your fertility though 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just have no idea when I could start opk testing again though or whether I would need a period first. So confusing xx

@Bells20 @AMS19 @DrS44 I had a withdrawal bleed that lasted five days and then one period 28 days after that so this would be my second period. And yeah I did have the implant, So it could be messed up off the implant aswell I guess.
Didn’t have a frer early one but done another normal one which was negative and surely if I was pregnant I would have a positive by now as I’m 11 days past the 28 day mark and then based off the second peak I had, my app has me down as 3 days late. It’s just so annoying just want it to come now so I can move on. Wonder if it’s possible to skip one all together 😂 x

@DrS44 those charts look amazing! Fingers crossed for you 🤞 Keep us posted xx

@DrS44 love seeing those opk spikes on charts! Defo test again around lunchtime it might even get higher. And have fun DTD!! Hoping for a BFP as your Christmas present this year 💛

Ooh you're on your way to a peak @DrS44 - so exciting!!

Fab thanks @Bells20 and @AMS19 I've done that! This is my chart now 🙃 buzzing my opk has come out as 1.52 on Premom and 180% on fermometer 🥳 not that the numbers mean anything but it makes me happy 🤣 xxx

@jessi60 apologies if I've got you confused with someone else but was it the implant you've recent come off? I'm just wondering what they say about AF returning with that or whether you've spoken to other people and they've had delayed cycles? I do think being so unwell is probably the culprit for the delay but so hopefully it's that but also just wondered if it could be normal when coming off the implant? Equally if it wasn't you who was on the implant this will make no sense so please ignore 😂

@DrS44 I would keep the adjusted BBT and if you're using FF you can change the time to whatever time you adjusted it to (6.30?). It might not be totally accurate but I did that a couple of times and don't think it was a problem. It shouldn't matter too much as long as you see that temp rise over the next 3 days now 🤞🏻 mine was really low on the day of my peak then shot right up!

@Dex1521 yeah I totally agree with what the gals have said lovely!! The stress of that would just be detrimental! And you could also peak earlier than you think xx

@jessi60 how strange?! Have you tried a FRER again? So annoying and yes I think @AMS19 is right!

CD19 today and finally looks like I've my OPK peak 👏🏻👏🏻 thank god! I got medium ratings yesterday so I was feeling more hopeful! Not much EWCM this cycle so I didn't have much warning?

For those who BBT- last night I slept terribly, like so bad! Slept for maybe 2 hours til 2 am then was awake til 4.30/5 and just woke up at 8.30. Checked my BBT because I thought at least I've slept, it was 36.54- but normally I take it at around 6.30? Google says deduct .1 degree for every half hour which would make it 36.14 which is around what it has been for the past 2 days... so the question is... do I

A) disregard BBT
B) input original BBT 36.54
C) input BBT but change to reflect time 36.14?

Thanks in advance xx

@jessi60 aw that is really annoying, it must be when you were ill it’s messed things up a bit, hopefully it’s only a one off though.

@Dex1521 Yeah that’s it. We need to relax at times 😂 although need to take my own advice as I’m CD 36 and still no sign of af so I’m fed up! X

@jessi60 yeah you’re completely right I think it was the heat of the moment, going to start tonight I think and then every other day and then Thursday night when I come back. Trying to relax and not think about it as I don’t want stress to make it not happen. It’s only my second cycle so no need to be too worked up if it doesn’t happen either

@Dex1521 When you think about dtd regularly it does technically increase your chances but it’s only one time that makes it successful and aslong as its within that fertile window. I always think of all the people who fall pregnant by accident it must be before or just after they ovulate and only a small percentage on the actual day x

@AMS19 oh 😂 that’s cool we went the same route I’ll never forget those horrendous exams 😂

I’m ICAEW literally everyone I meet though is ACA but I think it’s all the same really. Haha that’s so true I’m so bad at it too it’s the pressure of mental maths that gets me lol @AMS19 I always say “you do know we are allowed calculators”🤣

Yeah you’re all right! I think I’ll just go and we will start DTD from tonight every other day. Might try wake the OH before I go on Tuesday too. Maybe that’s a good luck charm not being there on ovulation day then 😂

@AMS19 Oo what do you do? Also I love meeting other accountants feel like we always get the name of being boring but jokes on them the wage is great 😂
Thanks for the advice @jessi60 @GreenApplesYo @AMS19
