Page 5 | Anyone else 1dpo? Keep me company!

secondtimelucky87 · 2023-09-20T17:27:46+00:00

Hello! I'm 36 and TTC no. 2. This is cycle 6 but I only weaned from breastfeeding a couple of weeks ago so feeling cautiously optimistic as I think it was wreaking havoc with my hormones. Know it may well take a few months for hormones to regulate but remain hopeful! Premom has me down as 1dpo. Anyone want to keep me company during what I suspect will be a painfully slow two weeks?! DTD 6 times in the last 8 days so i don't think I could've given it anymore if I'd tried - especially with a 2yo to look after! 😴

@etaketak1991 in the same, wish I could just not test! But sure we'll see how I go 😝😂

etaketak1991 · 26/10/2023 08:33

@secondtimelucky87 Still looking good! Fingers crossed for both of us 🤞

@Daniki I get a bit too obsessed seeing lines that aren't there so just best not to test too early 😂 Aw, sorry about your BFN again. Still early days though 🤞

Daniki · 26/10/2023 08:17

@secondtimelucky87 @etaketak1991 yous both great willpower to not test! Hopefully no AF on way for either of ya. I tested this morn, negative! Expecting AF to come, haven't had any more spotting and I'm quite nauseas this morn. But this happened me 2 cycles ago aswell so I won't get excited 😂

Good morning ladies, how are we doing? @Daniki any more spotting? Hope you hear back soon from your appointment!

I got a small dip but not a drop, so I'm still in the game! We're staying at my PILs tonight and I'm deliberately not taking any pregnancy tests with me so I can't crack and test early 😂 Hopefully my temp stays up until Saturday but not counting on it. Had some very strong PMS yesterday which sucked 🙃

Morning lovely, I'm OK thank you. No drop here but I've only climbed from 36.75 to 36.78 in last 3 days so not a significant difference! Just a waiting game now really.

Sorry to hear about the PMS. Hopefully you're hormonal for another reason!

Yeah I won't bother testing unless AF doesn't come tomorrow as usual.

@secondtimelucky87 doing ok, tested this morn BFN 😝 had my progesterone test yest so get the results tomorrow or Friday so hopefully the letrozole helped! 🙏 hopefully the temperature climb is a good one!

etaketak1991 · 25/10/2023 07:35

@secondtimelucky87 Looking good!! 🤞🤞

@Daniki Is your day 21 today or was it yesterday? Hope it goes/went well!

Still on a slow climb here, disregarding yesterday's alcohol-fuelled jump 😂. 10dpo is where my temp has dropped for the last two months I've been BBTing, so keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow🤞 I've had random pin pains in my boobs, cramps and some twinges in my right hip but honestly it could be anything 😂 My CM has finally returned though so taking that as a good sign!

Think iv my spotting starting, that i get every cycle at this stage 😭 I'm having such hot flashes! It's so frustrating 😫

@Daniki Fingers crossed it's a good sign and not dreaded AF for you!!

@etaketak1991 I really think I must've imagined that dot as I've not seen any yet!

How are you both doing? Another tiny tiny climb here this morning. AF always seems to come at 11dpo so we'll see 🤞

etaketak1991 · 24/10/2023 09:23

@Daniki Eek exciting!! Keep us updated. Hopefully just normal spotting 🤞

@secondtimelucky87 I had a dot of pink when wiping two cycles ago and it got my hopes up so unfairly haha. Hoping it's the real deal for you 🤞

Interesting ladies! I took a test earlier and thought there was a vvvvvvvvfl but think just lines eyes, still very early at 8dpo 😂

Well this is exciting!!! Keeping everything crossed for you lovely 🤞

@secondtimelucky87 Yaaay! 🎉 Fingers crossed it keeps climbing!

I had a big jump BUT had 4 cans of beer last night so that's definitely played a part. This is the longest my BBT has been on the up though! If it's still up by Thursday then that's when I'll start getting excited 😂

I was so exhausted yesterday afternoon I had to take a nap, which is unusual, but I'm still ill so 🤷. I've had very mild cramps but honestly nothing else. How about you, any symptoms?

Keeping everything crossed for you! How exciting! 🤞

Hmm so TMI but I think last night I saw the tiniest fleck of pink after peeing and I never ever have that. But you know when it's so tiny you actually question whether it was there or a figment of your imagination? 🤣 I've also had pinching sensations on one side, on and off, most noticeably today and around ovulation. And yep, completely shattered. It usually takes me a little while to fall asleep but not for the last 3 days.

But I'm still not remotely convinced any of this is pregnancy related as they're all quite normal pre period and most of mine have been bang on 11dpo for a while. We'll see though 🤣 I'm being cautiously pessimistic haha.

@Daniki I'd give temping a go! It helps me feel at least a little more in control of my body haha. Bless you, sorry to hear about your BFN. Plenty of time to get a positive at least ☺️ I'm hoping to hold out on testing until Saturday/ Sunday if my temps are still up by then. I hope tomorrow goes well and those nasty ulcers disappear quickly for you!

@secondtimelucky87 Yup, it had my passport in it too, so felt very squeaky bum getting past border control! Fortunately they didn't really care as I had a photo of it and was going back into the UK haha. Think I've had my run of bad luck for now, the universe owes me something good! 🙃

Daniki · 23/10/2023 12:07

@secondtimelucky87 they are the worst! Defo a deficiency aswell or run down. And this the month iv really upped my game with supplements 😂 might ask the nurse to do normal bloods aswell tomorrow just to see!

@secondtimelucky87 Your temps are looking nice and consistent! My temps always arch quite high but then fall earlier than normal, usually about 4 days before AF. I just use the £8 easy@home thermometer in my mouth too 😂 I know some people temp vaginally which might be more accurate?

We're taking DD to the cinema today to see the new teenage mutant ninja turtles movie as it's on cheap kids rates haha. She's at preschool wed/Thurs so we're thinking about what we're going to do then. I've got lots of insurance money coming in soon (my bag was nicked on a school trip abroad with everything in 🙄) so might do a bit of retail therapy!

I don't know about you but I find parenting 100% easier with other adults around, so that sounds like a nice break to me! Hope your planning goes well ☺️

@Daniki how are you doing, lovely?

Ahh that sounds really fun! Enjoy! We've not done the cinema with mine yet so something to try one day 😊

Yeah definitely easier parenting with others around! Though just found out my nephew has a dodgy tummy so hopefully they can still make it! They live far away so depends on whether he can make it through the journey!

Sorry to hear about your bag being nicked. How awful! Glad you were compensated for it though and hopefully can treat yourself to something nice!

God I'm wondering should I try temping next cycle? 😂 does it work if you're up a few times in the night with a toddler? 😂 so I tested this morn at 7dpo, I know 😂, obviously negative! I find I have no restraint when I get to this stage I test like a lunatic. I'm also not working atm so being home all day 😅 I did notice when I went for a wee the tissue was a bit dark, this happens me every cycle before I start spotting before AF comes so that's annoyed me a bit.
Iv a few ulcers in my mouth, usually associated with my Crohn's but since iv surgery iv basically had the "cure" so not sure what that's from, I was hoping a weird early pregnancy symptom 😂 getting the 21 day progesterone test tomorrow so hopefully that will show the letrozole worked!

I think it's definitely worth trying the temping as it's just quite interesting I find!

I get mouth ulcers too. The absolute pits, aren't they? So painful!! I think mine are often linked to stress/being run-down but know if can be a sign of some vitamin deficiency too?

Hope your AF isn't on the way! 🤞

That chart IS looking good. 🤞 Mine are all very close to the coverline and not yet going up so I'm not feeling too hopeful but we'll see! My CM is pretty much the same as always so no changes there.

I'm on my way into school to do some planning and after the weekend of meltdowns we've had, it is genuinely a relief. 🤣 I can just get my head down, drink coffee undisturbed and not have anyone ask me anything. 🙈 Also paying enough for nursery not to send her in at least a few days!

Have you got anything nice planned? We've got family coming to stay for a few days from Wednesday which will be nice as my LO will have her little cousins to run riot with. 😊

BTW what do you use to temp with? I just use the easy @ home thermometer and stick it in my mouth. I wonder if there are more reliable devices out there, though I'm loathe to spend any more money!

@secondtimelucky87 Nope, no symptoms here. I'm weirdly drier on CM than usual over the last few days, but that's probably part of being ill and likely not drinking enough water 😂

My temps are looking good but tbh my.patterm is that they always peak today (7dpo) then start plateauing/ dropping. I should see a big drop on Thursday if I'm out ☺️ My cover line adjusted up AGAIN! It's now 0.4°C above usual 😂

@secondtimelucky87 I'm on those vitamin c aswell! With the added vitamin d? I take the soluble ones I try and avoid hard tablets at all costs because I have Crohn's disease and a stoma bag so most likely don't absorb fully!
@etaketak1991 Also 6dpo today! I try and not symptom spot as it's just made it more disappointing for me 😂 I get sore boobs every cycle and think that's it but then AF comes, I read it's also a symptom on low progesterone which I seem to have!
Going for the 21 day progesterone test again on Tuesday, hopefully good news 🙏

Mine are just the plain vitamin c 500mg! They taste absolutely rank though for some reason! Really sour. Soluble is a good shout as they're quite nice and refreshing anyway!

Does seem we're all in sync haha!
