@LRW26 I haven't got much in the way of symptoms but have been reading and you don't get any until 6 weeks as anything that could be pregnancy can also be AF before as hormones are roughly the same until AF is due. My boobs are tender, and pulling cramps but that is all AF too so not sure. Will wait to see what happens on Friday . I hope you are well .x

@apwilso I would dtd when you can on those 3 days he is home.

@dex1521 you are still really early . 12dpo is the earliest recommended date to test x

I tested 😭 annnnnnnd it was BFN now I'm sad and feel like it's not gonna happen this month. I know I'm not out till AF but I've lost hope now

apwilso · 18/01/2021 12:58

@LRW26 hope you're doing okay. Everyone seems to be pregnant atm!

@Louisa199 I might take it up with them because I'm having readjust all of them and I tend to do them in the same bathroom lightning but it's thrown me off the past two months because I didn't realise and I probably wouldn't have realised if it wasn't for @Tabbycat92

Can some help me out as well. Weird questioning but basically my partner works away mon-thurs and sometimes Friday so sometimes I end up missing some days in my window where I could have BD. I've attached my "predicted" ovulation which is due around day 17 which is about right for me anyway. He will be working away until Friday this week so how am I best of planning DTD because I don't want to overdo it before Sunday if you get me. I HATE the idea of planning the deed but I feel like it's needed with the small window (which is already small enough!). I do feel pressured in a sense but hoping to ease up x

@Tabbycat92 @apwilso I used to have issues while uploading test results to the premom app, the important tips are keeping the lighting the same as always while shooting and stick to the same reader, the automatic one or the manual one. Maybe you can contact their support team for suggestions as well.

LRW26 · 18/01/2021 09:49

@1992EM yes we’ve got pretty much the same cycle. How are you feeling this month?

I’ve got sore boobs (which I get normally after I’ve ovulated anyway) but I’ve had literally no other symptoms so who knows.. already just have a feeling I’m out this month. I’m going to ring the doctors if AF shows as we will have been trying for a year but I don’t have much hope of get any answers quickly especially with everything that’s going on.

Has anyone been to the doctors and can give me an idea of what the next steps would be?

1992EM · 18/01/2021 09:37

@LRW26 I am also due on Friday we must have the same cycle as I am sure it was the same last month . 💕

@dex1522 🤣 me too actually. I am obsessed with looking at stuff and wishing I could buy it .x

LRW26 · 18/01/2021 09:07

Hi everyone I had to take a little bit of a break from the chat just to clear my head space as I’ve tried not to get overly obsessed this month! I’ve also had to content with another family pregnancy announcement, which makes 3 in 5 months.

AF is due Friday so not testing this month and just going to wait for AF.

Hope you’re all doing ok x

apwilso · 18/01/2021 07:56

@Dex1521 I understand the struggle. I see so many cute things and hate not being able to buy stuff.

I've started up a little lockdown business and one part is baby stuff and I'm like I wanna keep it for myself!😬🤦🏻‍♀️

Dex1521 · 17/01/2021 21:57

@1992EM haha I have the pram I want already picked out 😂 just waiting for the day I'll be able to buy it lol and I was in Aldi yesterday they had Moses baskets for £30 and god I wanted to buy one lol had to walk away all these baby events in supermarkets driving me mad haha wanting to buy everything

1992EM · 17/01/2021 21:46

@dex1521 this is me every month🤣🤣 by the day AF is due i have planned the nursery and everything 🤣x

@apwilso @1992EM ahh thank you! I'm actually so nervous to test believe it or not I'm just happy living in my little imaginary pregnant bubble 😂

apwilso · 17/01/2021 21:15

@Dex1521 fingers crossed for you! Looking good!!!😁

1992EM · 17/01/2021 19:20

@dex1521 sounds good . I have everything crossed for you 💕

Dex1521 · 17/01/2021 18:52

@1992EM @Tabbycat92 I know trying to keep my excitement to a minimum don't want to set myself up for disappointment. Hopefully have another temp increase or not a massive drop tomorrow and hopefully get my BFP. I'm holding off to test until 10dpo as I really don't wanna see a negative test

Tabbycat92 · 17/01/2021 18:29

@dex1521 Ooo this is very exciting!

1992EM · 17/01/2021 18:22

@dex1521 Oh that looks good 👍 fingers crossed it will turn into a positive 💕 definitely hold of testing until at least 10dpo. x

@1992EM ah I forgot to update the chat!

I was changing the bed today and saw my thermometer on the bedside table and mine saves the last recorded temp when you turn it on so I thought hmm I'll just double check it as I always read it with one eye open and using the light off my phone screen so not too clear and is read it as 36.32 instead of 37.32 look at my chart and the rise I've had!! I've never had such a high temp since ttc

I've been googling it all day and I think I have had a triphasic cycle which Ive never heard off but according to a lot of articles they very commonly end in pregnancy but I'm not getting my hope up and I've managed to keep away from the tests as still on 7dpo and need my temp to stay up there to confirm it's a triphasic cycle

@Dex1521 could that be implantation? How many dpo are you now ?

I am 9dpo and no symptoms that stand out . Everything I have is also pre AF symptoms so not really holding out much hope. AF is due Friday. x

OP posts:
Dex1521 · 17/01/2021 08:03

Anyone able to have a look at my chart please. Big drop again today right down to the crosshairs. Also had 0 symptoms no cramps or anything which is so unlike me I usually have all the symptoms going.

@1992EM how annoying is that now I've just feel as if I've wasted my time with that!?!

@Tabbycat92 I'll do that instead. I'm sure it was saying like day 14 which was like the peak of my month was low and when I actually adjusted it it was high😵

Tabbycat92 · 16/01/2021 18:44

@apwilso it's so annoying isn't it. Mine always puts it way lower than it is. Just looking at the test I can see quite a dark line, I take a photo with premom and it pretty much bleaches the line out.
Sometime I find it better taking a photo with my camera outside of premom, then just uploading that pic

1992EM · 16/01/2021 18:02

Also have bad heart burn which I have only ever had once and it was when my period was 5 days late (which looking back on I think could have been a chemical ) x

@laura2093 sorry I am not sure about if I have low progesterone but my luteal phase was 13 days and has now gone to 14 days. I am not sure what is classed as short. How long are yours ?

@apwilso this messed me up last month. My peak happened but didn't have a CB smiley left so tried the premom and it said it was low but it wasn't and then I missed my peak day. I now just use cheap opks alongside CB when I am near ovulation.

So 8 dpo tender boobs and really random dreams. All systems I can get anyway so will see what happens next week. AF is due on Friday x

OP posts:
apwilso · 16/01/2021 17:24

@laura2093 I'm not too sure what mine is tbqh

I'm a bit irritated as @Tabbycat92 told me earlier you can amend your opks on premom because I said it didn't look right and I've gone back over my previous cycles that I've tracked and the numbers are way off!!!!!😫😫😫

So I ovulate late at 19 back in November. But it actually looks like I've had higher reading on day 15-17 as well previously but because the rating as been off I've not noticed

laura2093 · 16/01/2021 16:22

Hello ladies, does anyone have short lh phase? Low progesterone? X
