@TheBirdintheCave I've got everything crossed it rises for you 🤞🏼

@FfoxRedN oooh yay im glad that egg has held on for when you needed it 👏🏼 at least your cycle is behaving 😂 I'll def be out this cycle don't think sperm survive more than 5 days 🤔 though I suppose there might be a vvvvv slim chance if my egg released very early as we dtd quite late on Thursday. But I'm certainly not holding my breath on that one I wont bother testing I'll just wait for AF which will be due 12th and I'm 99.9% sure she will arrive

FfoxRedN · 02/03/2023 17:47

@TheBirdintheCave @bringmearainbow your cycles have definitely been hard to decipher this month! I hope that means you've been lucky.
Still low OPK for me which is weird as I had ovulation pain, although I have had a handful of cycles before where I've felt it a bit earlier than temps have indicated. Maybe that's the last surge of growth, who knows 🤣. xx

@bringmearainbow I think yours has definitely happened. Fingers crossed mine goes up tomorrow 🙏

@Indianna2006 I did, still the same 0.4. No worries about not being able to work out my chart as I don't think any of us can 😂

Anyway, I can't do anything about it. I think I'll test on the 13th of March (which is the anniversary of when I got my bfp with my son) if AF doesn't come before then.

@Indianna2006 yes it's going up so that's all that matters and tbf this is my first month just using my watch and do you know what since I stopped having to wake up for bbt I have slept the bloody best and super solidly since before ds was born I'm not going back to taking bbt again 😂

Indianna2006 · 02/03/2023 13:23

oh girls what a rigmarole. Why don’t bodies just do what there meant to do 🧐🧐

@bringmearainbow I reckon yours has done it cos the pains but you just take while to see a rise don’t you as we’ve learnt.

@TheBirdintheCave have you done at opks today? Tbf no idea from your chart 😅😅 so don’t think I can be much help.

@FfoxRedN enjoy him getting back 😁😁

Hope rest of you girls all okay xx

bringmearainbow · 02/03/2023 10:27

@TheBirdintheCave I think we're having sympathy cycles 😂 I haven't had a huge temp rise this morning it's up but not super up but my god my boobs are painful af 🙄

@bringmearainbow Still EWCM I think. I'm just totally baffled by this cycle 😂

@TheBirdintheCave I got a big temp dip day before peak this cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe it will happen later for you. What's cm like?

TheBirdintheCave · 02/03/2023 08:12

So I had a temp dip today. Two days of normal 36.6 and then this morning it's 36.4. Maybe ovulation is today?? But then why have I had no LH rise yesterday? 😂

bringmearainbow · 01/03/2023 20:23

@TheBirdintheCave yep they've subsided now thank god. I actually felt like my uterus was going to fall out everytime I went for a wee 😂 honestly bloody body 🙄

MrsJGrealish · 01/03/2023 20:23

@FfoxRedN ahh he'll have missed you so much I think you've no worries 😉 but yea sorting himself out is good! I'll never forget my experience of 'explosion' 🙈

I came home from work to find DH standing with 3 different online packages with my name on them. Why do I need more shoes? Even I'm thinking wtf 🤣

FfoxRedN · 01/03/2023 20:12

@MrsJGrealish yeah it's still low so there is time 🙏🏼. DH is on strict orders to sort himself tonight in preparation 🤣. Bless them, we do take the mystery out of it hey 😂 xx

MrsJGrealish · 01/03/2023 20:06

@FfoxRedN 😂😂 must have been looking at my phone when they were on about 'speed bumping' last night was all about the goods🙈 did you give your OPK a go yet?

Hope everyone else is ok and plodding through this cycle, successful or not ❤️

@bringmearainbow I hope the cramps have subsided now 🙏🏻

bringmearainbow · 01/03/2023 15:40

@TheBirdintheCave your body is throwing everything out there this cycle 🙈

I've actually considered taking paracetamol today the cramps have been awful 😳 I feel so sorry for you ladies that get this every month

TheBirdintheCave · 01/03/2023 14:37

@FfoxRedN I did one this morning but it was a 0.4 which seems to be the lowest mine go.

@curliegirlie 6dpo is always the worst part of the cycle for me.

@bringmearainbow I'll use up the ones I have left but there aren't many now. I have some EWCM today 🤔

OP posts:
bringmearainbow · 01/03/2023 13:28

@TheBirdintheCave the premom has given up 😂 well all you can do is wait and see will you keep testing or have you got to the point of cba with testing now

@MrsJGrealish yay for peak 🥳 got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

@curliegirlie oh I hate that point of the cycle 🙈

theblueflowers · 01/03/2023 12:46

Thanks for the tag, still creeping around here xx

LuckyMoonstone · 01/03/2023 12:20

@MrsJGrealish ooh that’s good hope this is it!

FfoxRedN · 01/03/2023 12:13

@curliegirlie you're almost into testing ground, have you much to keep you distracted until the weekend? X

FfoxRedN · 01/03/2023 12:12

@MrsJGrealish haha I wanna give the 'speed bump' a go from love island. Been there before but not one of the 'go-to's' !!
@TheBirdintheCave that chart is somewhat crazy, it's hard to tell without all the temps but maybe the day before yesterday?
Have you done anymore OPKs? I have one in my bag which I'll do later. Hopefully nothing is there cx

MrsJGrealish · 01/03/2023 12:11

@curliegirlie it's the worst I swear to god I'm not testing early this time

@LuckyMoonstone OPK measured at 1.2 hopefully it drops like a stone tomorrow 😂

LuckyMoonstone · 01/03/2023 12:06

@MrsJGrealish that sounds promising 🤞 I hope you’re flexible lol

curliegirlie · 01/03/2023 11:26

6DPO here. I hate this point of the cycle and my complete POAS addiction. Yes I KNOW nothing would show up this early, yes I do it anyway, even though I also know there's a big chance we missed the boat anyway, as only DTD successfully about 24hrs after peak OPK and previously had DTD 5?days before that OPK 🤦‍♀️. I do love to torture myself though!

MrsJGrealish · 01/03/2023 10:41

@FfoxRedN it involves my legs in a random position and I was so achy yesterday..just wanted it over 😅

Line is darker than control now nowhere like @bringmearainbows but still good 🙏
