@curliegirlie sorry AF arrived lovely ☹️

@FfoxRedN I might do a couple make me feel like I'm doing something instead of just waiting for AF 🙊 good news on the temp front at least one of our temps are behaving 😂

FfoxRedN · 07/03/2023 17:55

@FlyingHighFlyingLow those tests look similar to mine, they ebb and flow initially then drop before the peak. All normal 😊, I'm glad you caught it!

@bringmearainbow what harm can a test do, if it's negative it's likely it's too early anyway 🥰. Do what feels right for you though.

I'm 2dpo, god what a drag!!! Temp is hopefully rising 🤞🏼.
@TheBirdintheCave @MrsJGrealish I hope the lines head your way 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@curliegirlie sorry to hear AF arrived 😣 xx

I'm out (a day earlier than expected, but not hugely surprised, as I've had a bit of spotting over the last couple of days).....

bringmearainbow · 07/03/2023 11:35

MrsJGrealish · 07/03/2023 11:29

@bringmearainbow Haha, they definitely do beckon like sirens. I think I've used five already this cycle 😂

@MrsJGrealish also big 👏🏼 on your technicality 😂 love it also it would be a shame to just throw away the unused tests 🙊

bringmearainbow · 07/03/2023 10:37

@FlyingHighFlyingLow I'm not sure that they always alternate from what I've read but I do think whatever side the egg releases from can dictate how you feel I think that happens to a lot of ladies

Nothing exciting to report over here. My only symptom is sore boobs. I keep looking at my box of ic trying to decide whether to test early this week or not bother. Rationally I'm so sure nothing survived but they are staring at me with their laser X-ray eyes from the drawer like please come wee on us 😂

How are you getting on @MrsJGrealish @FfoxRedN

MrsJGrealish · 07/03/2023 01:58

@TheBirdintheCave in my last life I was a lawyer 🤣

FlyingHighFlyingLow · 06/03/2023 23:32

TheBirdintheCave · 06/03/2023 23:21

@FlyingHighFlyingLow Want to swap? 😂 I'm on CD25 today and still lost 🤦🏻‍♀️ Good luck with your TWW!

Also I ran out of OPKs today. Not sure if I'll repeat the experiment next month or not.

Thank you! This probably sounds really strange, but after looking over all my old cycle data in past couple weeks, I think I have a 'good side' and 'bad side' if you usually alternate. One month is consistently 30 days, the next month can be 26 days, could be 34 (usually 28-32 though). In the consistent month I get more typical cycle signs, the other all bets are off. Last month was a weird 33 day one and I never got any EWCM or pains etc like this month 😂

Still got EWCM (more than yesterday) so I think we'll dtd tonight just in case. O test is the lightest it's ever been. My body is so confused.

I thought my body was confused, mine started off relatively high, then just kept dropping and suddenly spiked hugely tonight!

@TheBirdintheCave this premom app is messing with me this month too..but coz I only DTD once over fertile window I did the thing that means jinxing a cycle and worked out a due date. Which is November. But DH agreed to the end of the year so I have him agreed to another cycle on a technicality 😅

I've had such random readings and cm so you aren't alone 🙄

According to Premom the 13th so I think I'll test then if nothing happens but I'm not expecting any miracles here either 😂

@TheBirdintheCave strangely the watch picked it up fine last cycle so weird 🤷🏼‍♀️ never mind. My AF due Sat or Sunday thankfully I have a busy week so I'm hoping it goes really quick and new one can start coz I very very much doubt any spermies survived 🙄

When do you think AF might arrive?

TheBirdintheCave · 06/03/2023 13:12

@bringmearainbow Interesting that the watch doesn't pick up the change but the BBT thermometer does.

I'm glad this cycle seems more normal for you :D At last!

Nothing to report here, temps still low, boobs still sore (though they're not getting any worse). Just want AF to get here now so I can hopefully have a normal cycle for the last go 🙏

bringmearainbow · 06/03/2023 12:49

Hey ladies well my watch hasnt been so good this cycle for post ovulation temping. It's still showing about the same as before ovulation. I took my bbt the last couple of mornings and they are in my normal range of LP temps so I know I def have O. Interestingly the last 2 times I've ovulated I've had so many symptoms from the off but so far I've got nothing but sore boobs which is a lot more normal for me so I think maybe everything's settled down a bit back to normal which is a relief if it has 🤞🏼

@curliegirlie I guess I'll find out at some point 😅 All the uncertainty is just irritating.

Never count yourself out until AF arrives. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
