Morning ladies. Just a message to say for those who are mummies Happy Mother's Day. And for those of us who aren't yet, one day it will be our turn ❤

dippyegg32 · 14/03/2021 07:25

Delighted for you @LauraT94!! My bbt was 37.09 today 
How you doing @Mellous?

LauraT94 · 14/03/2021 07:13

@dippyegg32 my fingers are crossed for you 🤞🏻

So ladies, my hormones are raging! My BBT is still increasing (I'm at 37.06 now 😱) and my RHR (now 84) is too! Looking back at my previous chart when I had the miscarriage, my RHR had actually dropped quite a lot by this point and my temps weren't as high either! Had a good feeling about taking another digital and sure enough I got my 2-3 result on the Clearblue! So happy 🥰 I think I will stop BBT and monitoring RHR now. Clearly my body's doing what it needs to for now so I'm going to try and relax and let it be!

Just thought I would update that although the anxiety is 100% there, I think I'm starting to regain trust in my body and trust that I'm actually pregnant! Coming up to the scan date (09/04) will be hard and anxiety inducing again but I'm hoping I can pass through the next few weeks without too much fear!

@dippyegg32 I see a line on the clear blue. How about a digital on Tuesday if no af?xxx

Ralala · 13/03/2021 23:04

So I’m rational again after last night. Hubs is allowed to be tired .... goodness I’m crazy ttc lady already!

glowingtwig · 13/03/2021 20:24

@dippyegg32 that clear blue looks positive to me! I can see the line on the Wondfo too.
Oh everything crossed for you xx

SuzieDeLaTour · 13/03/2021 19:51

@dippyegg32 loving the science experiment!! 🤣 I can see the lines too - I feel for you in a state of utter confusion! But you’ll get an answer either way within a few days so not too long now to wait - fingers and toes crossed for you! X

PlantMummy87 · 13/03/2021 18:42

@dippyegg32 can see the lines on the CB and top wondfo too. Crossing everything for you xx

Pettylamby · 13/03/2021 18:39

@dippyegg32 there's defo lines on those tests! And that wouldn't even be FMU? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Nothing worse than the confusion of is there/isn't there a line tho! Hopefully get some answers soon!

KJLM · 13/03/2021 18:33

@dippyegg32 I’m in agreement with @Mellous that I can see the line. Please be kind to yourself until next week when you’ll get an answer hopefully on Monday- but obviously I’m crossing my fingers for good news.

AMS19 · 13/03/2021 18:06

@dippyegg32 see! I told you didn't I!!!

Mellous · 13/03/2021 18:06

I can see the line on the Cb and the wondfo... urgh sorry you’re none the wiser though :( xx

Bottom - tap water

dippyegg32 · 13/03/2021 18:00

Tbh I don't know what's going on. I did what I can only describe as a scientific test Grin Wee'd in a pot and used the same sample for these four:
FRER (bought off Amazon pre set silvery line) stark negative.
Wondfo top - faint line within 2mins (process time 5mins)
Wondfo top - tap water!!
Clearblue early - faint line within 3min process time

So now I'm out of tests. Still none the wiser. Still grumpy. Still stressed. Af due Monday. Rant over!! Hope you all have a lovely evening xx

@SuzieDeLaTouri think that makes sense to let it build up a bit. Though I also read not to let it build up too long or it's "old" sperm! So 2/3 days is probably perfect. We did it twice on Sat and twice on Sun then I ovulated Tuesday so not sure how much was in Mondays "load" 😂😂

SuzieDeLaTour · 13/03/2021 16:44

@dippyegg32 I’m so sorry to hear your news 😢 I hope you’re ok - have everything crossed that your next cycle will be THE ONE X

SuzieDeLaTour · 13/03/2021 16:43

Hey ladies! Just catching up on all the posts - it moves so quickly 😆
@Pettylamby those are great lines! Whoop whoop!
@glowingtwig fab news about your test results. What a relief!! Feeling so positive for you, it’s all looking so good! 🤗
@Mellous I’m so sorry it’s a BFN for you. I hope you’re managing to have a nice relaxing day and doing something to (try) and take your mind off things. Don’t worry about a Christmas due date for bubba - they rarely rock up on their due date anyway and like @AMS19 said I would pretty much take anything at this point too!! 🤣
I actually tried Conceive Plus a few times but it didn’t do the trick. We also DTD every 1/2 days from day 10-ovulation but in November we actually just did it twice in 24 hours and hadn’t done it for a good week beforehand (I ovulated really late) so I’ve no idea if that made a difference!? I did the same thing this month and held off for a little while until I got a clear positive OPK. Think I’m probably clutching at straws here though ha ha! Xx

PlantMummy87 · 13/03/2021 14:34

Thanks @AMS19! Xx

DMT1982 · 13/03/2021 12:58

@dippyegg32 so sorry to hear you’ve had a CP ☹️
They get your hopes up and then pull them down as quickly as they went up. Thinking of you lovely xxx

AMS19 · 13/03/2021 12:26

@plantmummy87 a big dip in ovulation is what you want! Thats always the goal as it means your body has blasted the oestrogen ready for the egg to pop! So really good sign if you've seen a drop xx

PlantMummy87 · 13/03/2021 12:17

@dippyegg32 so sorry to hear about the chemical. Everything is crossed for you that your month is next month 💕

@Mellous and @Neady1980 so to hear this wasn't your months either. Really hoping next month is the month you pop out those perfect eggs.

I'm not sure of anyone could advise me, but has anyone else ever had a super low drop in bbt in the lead up to ovulated? This month and last month a few days before ovulated I had a big dip in bbt for one day and then it rose back up. I never had this before the mc so not sure what it going on. I wasn't sure if I should exclude it from my temps, but if I do this is changes my ovulation day. From cd 16 to cd 17. I'm pretty certain it was cd 16 for me this month due to peak on OPKs and ewcm. I know I shouldn't read it into too much and nothing I can do now about it, just seems odd that it has happened two months in a row.

Not a digital @AMS19 just a standard early detection and nada

So sorry to read that @dippyegg32 and will have everything crossed for the next cycle ❤️

glowingtwig · 13/03/2021 10:38

@Pettylamby it's really wibbly in real life, yes! The FRERs I do never seem to look like other people's with the control line for some weird reason. Your symptoms sound very promising. I've got sore boobs but seems worse in the night. I'm forever squishing them in the day to check for soreness. Your tests look really good and I agree that the last one looks a tiny bit darker.

@AMS19 yes, I'll have to come in to London for them. I'm about an hour away by train, so not too difficult to get in. We used to go out in London quite regularly but since covid obviously we haven't. Going in even for a blood test and scan feels a bit exciting.

@Mellous @KJLM I'm definitely a Conceive Plus girl having also tried Preseed. Seems to work for us even if it's psychological as I tend to get a lot of EWCM cycle day 9/10 which feels a bit early. We don't bother with the mini tubes but get a whacking great one and slather it on (gosh sorry for the TMI)! I always laugh working out how much that 1 DTD cost in lube it's so expensive 😂

@Mellous sorry about the BFN... it makes your spirits slump. But I defo wouldn't wait a month because of Christmas time. The baby could be three weeks early or late after all.
