Newbie looking for some support

@HRP1990 It still feels like the test is telling me something that my brain can’t really process if I’m honest haha. Very sleepy the last few days but then not able to actually sleep through the night. I think that’s the heat though! It is sweltering already this morning!

So glad it's getting darker @glasspaw !! 🥰🥰

Lots of catch up on this morning!

@SkeletonSkins that diagram is so useful, thanks for that! I’m going to reference it when my thermometer arrives! Is it best to start when AF finishes?

@Dannii892 I’m so excited for you!! Fingers crossed for the weekend, do you think you can wait that long to test 😂

@glasspaw glad to hear the good news - darker is a good sign! How have you found the past couple of days, has it sunk in yet?

@Dannii892 ooh fingers crossed for you!

For everyone thinking about stocking up on FRERs, I got mine here homehealth-uk.com/product-category/pregnancy-ovulation-tests/first-response-tests/

Free shipping and a bit cheaper than on the high street. I also bought a tonne of the one step cheapies from there too which I now have stashed in a box (though I’ll admit, I did another this morning to check a) I didn’t imagine Sunday and b) that the line was getting darker…it is 😅

@justwant2beamum yes you're right.. im just going to wait until the weekend and test.. just so bizarre as I've never spotted before and always on time with AF BUT time will tell and for the moment I will put it in the back of my coconut ❤

@Dannii892 could be implantation bleeding, 🤞🏻 for you. But I don't think anyone could tell you any more from what it looks like tbh. Spotting is spotting and at 10dpo could be implantation or could be period coming early. It's one of those horrible things I know you want an answer but the only thing you can do is wait and see ❤️

Thanks @Babyghirl ive for FF, that’s where I got those graphs from I posted before, I’d never be able to work out out myself 😂😂

@SkeletonSkins
Down load fertility friend and put ur temp in they do the rest of the work for you 💚

@Babyghirl right brill thank you, I’m just going to stop overthinking it and start tomorrow with them!

@Peachycream yeah kind of, I did this gorgeous diagram lol to try and explain it. You need 3 temps above your average normal temp to confirm ovulation. The main thing is you need to try and temp at the same time each day (roughly) and before you get up for a wee etc. I sleep quite badly but ive mostly managed okay. TMI but ive switched to vaginal temping this month as it’s meant to be a bit more steady if you wake up frequently but oral works fine.

@SkeletonSkins I've never spotted in my life.. would posted a pic actually be TMI??? I need opinions.. im 10dpo and had a bfn this morning x

@Dannii892 could totally be implantation spotting, could be a good thing! Spotting can be totally normal.

GUYS! IM FREAKING OUT!! I just went to the loo and tmi coming up had spotting on my tissue! I really want to send a picture to see what you think.. im 9 days away from 🧙‍♀️.. please please please help.. im freaking out!

@peachycream
3 years of tracking was getting to much and I got to know my body I mostly get the ovulation pain aswell so that indicates it for me to yea just the same as in ur mouth if you wake up an hour or 2 before your norm time take it then as you have to have 3 hours or more uninterrupted sleep for it to be accurate so if u wake at 5 and ur alarm goes of at say 6.30 7 take it at 5 for a better reading xx

@SkeletonSkins
I use to use the lh strips they say from 2 to 8 is best time to test with them and try nt to drink for a few hours before hand as they say your hormone for them rises during the day so won't be in ur system early morning 💚

@peachycream
Im cd9 today norm ovulate between cd11/13 so not long to go I use to do temp but it was stressing me out. Some ladies will c a drop in temp the day ovulation occurs then rise the nxt day if you do temp download fertility friend and that will give you a crosshair for ovulation once it detacts 3 days of raised temp It gets easier after a while of doing it but remember you need to do it same time every morning before moving out of bed don't even drink anything before taking it and can I say better taking in vaginally as you get a better reading as doing it by mouth can be off if u sleep with ur mouth open 💚

Brill thanks I’m going to do it tomorrow AM!

It’s pretty straight forward once you’re used to it I promise, basically after you ovulate your temp goes up and stays up till your period, which you can see in my first graph at the end, if the temps stay up you’re probably pregnant…

Those that opk in the morning do you just do it for your second wee if the day?

This was my BBT for the last (really long) cycle that I ovulated, it’s really clear the increase in temp post ovulation, in comparison to the second graph which was last cycle, when I didn’t ovulate but my body made a couple of failed attempts with EWCM etc. I think I might have pvualtednif I hadn’t started taking the conceive plus, as that seemed to do a recent and I started spotting almost straight away. Final graph is this month so far 😂 so it’s handy because without temping I might have though I ovulated last cycle cause I got EWCM and a period, I’ll be interested to see if I get positive OPKs too when my body tries but fails (although best scenario is that stops happening!!)

Yeah they say you can temp test everyday because it tracks the pattern!

Our bodies are amazing and yes it says you don't ovulate a couple of months a year... so I'm obviously over any test that can help. Apparently cervical mucus and temp was how they used to do it back it the day!!!

Heyyy @Peachycream nothing exciting just been working.. nearly home now .. such a long day!! Ready for a nap!! Also there is a test for ovulation confirmation!!! It's called a PdG tests... but super expensive!
