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

Hi @Dex1521 - don't worry about that dip. Mine were constantly up and down. I've attached my chart for you to see. Nearly every other say my bbt would do a skydive 🙈

@CardioQueen yeah you've put my mind at ease. I'm also wondering now could I have been sleeping with my mouth open maybe and I was wearing thinner pyjamas last night so probably accompanied it. Just had a moment of panic when I saw it. Your drop in temp is very similar too mine so yeah you're right it isn't a bad thing after all.

I caved last night and took a warm bath but no where near as hot as I'd usually have and I just thought oh no I've ruined my chances this month. But then I was thinking if I'd got pregnant by accident I'd still be taking hot baths and doing stuff they say you should avoid during tww. I mean I had a (ex) friend who went on an absolute bender holiday and she then found out she was 4months pregnant when she came home and ended up having a healthy full term baby

@DrS44 they seem to be getting stronger slowly so that's a positive to take from it. Hopefully you'll be similar to positivity tree and cardio queen and have a late ovulation rather than nothing at all

@Dex1521 I don't think that's as massive as you think - like you say it's still way above the cover line. Mine dropped from 36.75 to 36.54 on 6DPO and then similar on 8DPO, I've just had a look (my chart's really hard to read temp-wise cos it shows my RHR scale on the right-hand side, so haven't bothered putting it in to show you).

@DrS44 yes agree it could be trying and failing - doesn't mean it won't succeed - or you could at the start of a slow building surge. It's def getting darker 🤞🏼🤞🏼

*update- just did an FMU OPK and got a .47 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

My body must be trying and failing to ovulate...

@AMS19 ya so the red lines are the OPKs with no spikes like I had the previous cycles! I'll show you the results! Ans oh ya I defo didn't ovulate in the fertile window - I only started temping at CD19 when someone suggested it here to see if I had missed my peak (hence the flatline before hand) but my temps had been around 36.18 since then except for this morning 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Dex1521 oh i defo wouldn't lose hope you're still way above your cover line and you've always had a consistently long LP so I would say you're defo still in the game 🤞🏻🙌🏼 xxx

@DrS44 I'm not sure if you've ovulated yet either. Very weird I really hope something comes of your cycle soon. You've definitely dtd enough to cover yourself so that's good - you never know what might happen.

I've sort of lost hope for this cycle in only 5dpo and had a massive temp drop this morning from 36.81 to 36.51. It's still above cover line but it seems a big drop tbh 😩 we will see what happens this next week I guess

Morning all - sorry for radio silence I've been up the walls with work!

@Emmgrem welcome to the Irish tribe 😅💚 honestly for such a small country we are everywhere 😅 also your peak is looking great 😍😍 very jealous xxx

Thanks @CardioQueen and @Dex1521 ive no idea what has actually happened now- I've not had a proper peak. The highest they have read is .38 in the last few days. This morning my temp has rose by .3 of a degree. Who the hell knows! I took an OPK after that strongish one the other day and it had dropped down again 🤣 then yesterday I took one FMU which was a .2 ish and in the afternoon it was a .3 ish.

I'm not sure what to make of my temp rise! Our pup stayed with us in bed last night because the snow kept falling from the roof making loud noises 🙄😅 so she kept barking early on - I put soft music on my phone then to distract her and that helped! So it wasn't a restless night but didn't sleep amazingly at the start!

Here's my chart for anyone who would like to make a stab at figuring out if anything has happened 🤣

Hope everyone is well! I'm on for another super busy day today 🙄 xxx

Right in bed and reading back at the moment .. I have missed loads 😬

Just popping in to say hello 👋🏻 👋🏻 cd 8 🥱🥱🥱

I have been absolutely exhausted all week and literally this is the latest I have been awake in days. Thankfully tomorrow is Friday, and I am dreaming of a bit of a lie in during the weekend.

I am looking forward to catching up with you all tomorrow.

Oh also meant to ask if anyone knows what the recommended dose of vitamin D is? I bought some, but they are 25microgram. I've read a few things online saying recommended is 10? Would 25 be too much? 🤔 xx

Ohh @AMS19 it is so so lovely to hear from you☺️ have been thinking about you and DH. And to reiterate what everyone else has said, thank you so much for all your help on here and helping us all make sense of our weird and wonderful bodies! Unfortunately MC are so much more common than is fair😣 but if anyone can get a bfp again after, it's you!! Our very own expert lol we will be rooting for you all the way! Looking forward to you starting your TTC journey again😍 🤞for that BFN!

I'm 5 weeks today, which sounds bizarre considering it hasn't even been that since dtd lol have booked in with the community midwives and booked early dating scan for 7+6. The anxiety though sometimes can be crippling🥺 I feel I be getting ahead of myself and then suddenly get this huge feeling of fear! I guess that's normal!

@Emmgrem opk's looking good🤞🤞 @Dex1521 yay! 4 days in already, just about a week to get through and poas is acceptable😂

Hope everyone is well xx

@Emmgrem love it 😂 and great to see that peak, OPKs are loving good! Fingers crossed this is our month 🤞

@DrS44 how have you been today? Have you stopped OPKs or did you decide to continue with them xx

Thanks @PowerOfFlowers

It's getting higher and Femometer has marked it as my peak! Will keep testing but definitely DTD tonight. Making a big of an effort and getting the nice underwear ready as we speak ready to pounce when DH gets in from work 😬

@Dex1521 thank you so much for replying, appreciate your advice ☺️ So far it’s been difficult to catch due to the varying length of my cycles but starting to learn the signs I think 🤞🏻

@JenLouNic86 it looks to be like your peak is very close. I'd keep testing twice a day with OPKS if you can and you should catch it. I also find the best OPKs to be the premom/easy@home tests and the premom app as you can scan them in and it'll help identify your peak. They work well for some and for others not so well I think but don't know until you try. I've attached a screenshot of what I mean about the app and scanning them in. Also keep DTD as it is still a strong test line

Hi All

I posted on another thread a while back and you were all so helpful, I keep reading posts and wondered if you could help again as I haven’t been tracking for long, although feels ages! Last month I think I ovulated one CD 11 only going by cycle length of 25 days and cm at that point in time. I’m cycle day 10 today and just done a opk - do you think this is close enough to positive and likely I’m going to ovulate on day 11 again?? I have been off the pill 5 months now and every cycle has been different in length. Any advice/help would be fab, thank you ☺️

Ooh @Emmgrem yes, I would test at 3.45pm and then before bed. And dtd. 😆
Same @AMS19 - there's 21 months between my sister and I and my Mum had a MMC in between us. And then I came along very soon after! Hope you are ok today xx

@DrS44 @GreenApplesYo In that case I'll join the Irish club too! My Nan was Irish so I'm a 1/4 Irish and my maiden name was an Irish one too. Thinking of getting a passport if needs be! ☘️

@AMS19 So nice to have you back to check in! We've missed your wisdom. It must be so frustrating how you have to wait for the negative test. I'm so so sure it'll all work out and you'll go on to have healthy pregnancies. My mum had a MC before me and fell pregnant 1st cycle each time so no problem conceiving. My MIL had a MC between each of her 4 boys!! And two of my best friends both had MMCs too and went on to have textbook pregnancies quickly again the next time round.
I know it must send you into a spiral of googling and looking up all the negatives, but there are SO many more positives stories than you'll ever read on a forum like this!

@Dex1521 one day out won't make much difference, I'm sure in the next few days of temping it might all become more clear but either way your chart is looking great.

I've finally had a high OPK today at 0.67 and I'm so happy about it 😂 shall I keep testing every few hours now incase I miss a peak? I'm not convinced I'd ever get a blazing positive so might be a bit like you though @CardioQueen

Anyone else have days where they are bloody starving 😩 I usually have some all bran on a morning ( I know I'm so exciting 😂) and That does me until lunch but today I feel so hungry. Like hungry to the point of feeling sick but then not wanting to eat anything as I feel sick 😂Have a bit of a nausea feeling but don't know if it's from hunger or what it could be. Being only 4dpo it won't be pregnancy symptoms unfortunately lol.
