Making a new thread from the March group ♥️

I'm on CD 1, Cycle 11 of TTC our first 👶🏼
Had a MC in February
Ectopic last July with right tube removal
I have endometriosis (and I suspect low progesterone)

Trying to stay positive and think fresh cycle, my body probably needed this after the MC and its a fresh start ✨

Baby dust ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

Well AF has just made an appearance!! Only CD24 again, same as last month!!! No idea what is going on!!! 😕

@Sassy144

@MissBlue93 clearblue digital isn't as sensitive as FRER so fingers crossed this is an early BFP for you!
It was the 6 day early one but yeah it's possible I guess. It's hard because I don't know my exact DPO! I guessed at day 3 of 5 days of sticky glue CM. But I could of ovulated on the 5th day which would make me 10DPO not 12. I didn't do any testing to check it!

I have 1 digital left, and 1 supermarket test but no more FRERS. The supermarket one was neg today too but think they have a higher HCG level needed.

Fingers crossed 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Kitty901

@MissBlue93 have you tested again?🤞
Did another FRER today and got a v faint line. Did a CB digital and 'not pregnant' so don't know what to think! AF due 2 days x

@allthingssparkly thank you 💛 you too!

allthingssparkly · 21/04/2022 10:16

Ahh yeah I see the constant elevation in that chart, so sorry to hear about your MC @Sassy144 😥

Hopefully this cycle brings you some good luck 🤞

Let's hope this TWW goes quickly, need to keep myself busy and not symptom spot! 🙈

Sassy144 · 21/04/2022 09:57

@allthingssparkly that's right, you'll see where it goes back to cd1 at the end when the temp dips and I have my period. Temps stay elevated when pregnant (although some may experience an implantation dip). This is my cycle where I fell pregnant (though sadly it ended in MC), I stopped taking my temp for a bit after my BFP as I didn't want to stress about it and was waking in the night a lot, but you can see how it stays high.

Ooh yes I can see your temp rise on your chart, I had mine today too so we can enter the dreaded tww together! 🤞

Thank you @Sassy144 😊

That chart is super helpful as it actually indicates the dips in temp when your period is due, presumably that cycle you didn't fall pregnant? Due to the temp dips seen in the chart? They would stay elevated at that time if pregnant?

Pre mom says I'm now 1DPO. Done my temp again this morning and it's elevated again 😬

@allthingssparkly here's an example of one of my cycles. You see how after ovulation bbt rises above my baseline, it then stays there until af arrives (or hopefully doesn't). When I was pregnant my chart was similar, though my temps were a little higher, but if you've just started temping it will take a little while to get to know your 'normal'. Hope this helps!

@allthingssparkly once you ovulate, your bbt will stay elevated until you get af. If you're pregnant, your bbt will stay high after af is due.

@Kitty901

This looks like a very good line to be an indent, but i had a bad experience with frer last month. I would buy a few other brands as well just to confirm it. This is what i did with my first. Good luck!
That's what I'm hoping. Will test again in morning!

MissBlue93 · 20/04/2022 19:21

Hey ladies so my FRER and I did one tonight (7pm) after holding my wee for ages. I did notice an ever so slight line on the test before I even took it!

This is what I've ended up with. It seems more prominent than yesterday mornings line but I am worried about it being an indent.

Urgh this new MN update keeps logging me out🙄

I thought I ovulated 2 days ago but had ov pain all day today and lots of (sorry) ewcm so thinking it might be today? Hmm. This is probs why I should start using opks again even though I don’t really like them🥴
dh has been unwell y’day and today, dtd the day before y’day and maybe will try for this eve if dh is up for it! Hope we have a chance still.

Peonies94 · 20/04/2022 16:54

@Decaffe the new site is so annoying!!!!

Talking about bbt though if I put my chart here it’s my first month, can you let me know if you agree with what it’s saying please? I don’t know whether to continue with every other day just incase peak is incorrect, I might do 2 times a week, just to try cover bases just incase!

allthingssparkly · 20/04/2022 16:31

Ahh good luck @Sassy144 ☺️

If the BBT stays elevated for a number of days is that a sign of Pregnancy? I haven't done BBT testing before but I'm really hoping it's helpful 🤞

Sassy144 · 20/04/2022 16:27

@Decaffe it's a right nightmare isn't it, I keep getting logged out and can't find anything either! How long after your peak do you usually ovulate do you know? Every other day is usually a safe bet but if you usually ovulate quickly after peak then maybe just tonight?

@allthingssparkly good luck! I'm at the same stage of my cycle too had my peak yesterday so now waiting for that bbt rise 🤞

allthingssparkly · 20/04/2022 16:27

My OPK's from this afternoon has gone right down 😬

Picture attached 😊

Going to keep an eye on BBT till the end of the week 🤞

allthingssparkly · 20/04/2022 15:54

@Sassy144 Yes that's right Red is OPK and Blue is BBT 😊

Thank you will keep an eye on BBT for the rest of this week and 🤞🤞

Decaffe · 20/04/2022 15:00

Hello, I've only just been able to get on here thanks to the new site debacle! None of the threads were loading, Conception threads weren't on Threads I'm on, nightmare!

I normally test once a day for a day or two after my peak, just to make sure everything has gone back down to where it should have done!

My dilemma - my peak was somewhere in the early hours of this morning... we DTD late last night, I am currently deciding which additional evenings out of tonight / tomorrow / Friday night we should do it, given DH is early 40s so I'm not surely daily DTD is advised?!

Sassy144 · 20/04/2022 12:05

@allthingssparkly is the red line opk and blue bbt? Looks good, you should see bbt rise above your pre-ovulation temps and stay high for 3 days to confirm ovulation.

allthingssparkly · 20/04/2022 10:07

These are my OPK's as of this morning @Decaffe and my BBT Chart, would you say it's looking ok? Should I be keeping an eye for a continued BBT elevation for s few days or will it dip? Never done BBT before 🙈

AF due today and she's not arrived yet, never thought I'd be hoping I've ovulated late 😅😂

allthingssparkly · 20/04/2022 09:20

Any ladies know whether your supposed to keep OPK testing once you've had your peak? 🤔
