TTC April 24…..Christmas babies part2💕🎉🎄

@Daniki not too sure but I think it was late like cd20, I’m always 27-28 day cycles and todays day 31 part of me is like huh I’m just gonna come on strangely late don’t get hopeful but part of me is like hoping SO MUCH
Awwh heck at least tomorrow you’ll know if it has came on, I’m sad for you it’s not worked though!!

@RRAEE heck! Got everything crossed for you it’s a good sign and you get a bfp soon!!

Hey, just joining this post.
I’m currently 9DPO, I’ve tested yesterday and got a BPN. I had a MC last month and had a vfl on day 8 with that pregnancy. I would have ideally liked to let my body have a period again before trying however I got my first ever peak reading on my ovulation after we DTD. I’m absolutely symptom spotting and my anxiety is through the rough about not letting my body have a period if I am pregnant

@RW269 im 5 days late now BFNS and no sign of AF.

Oh no! Hate this. Are you defo sure of ovulation day?

Pinky spotting there so AF should be here in the morn. Thank god so I can start a fresh cycle and try and dredge up some hope 😂

3 days late and still a bfn :( what a time

I’ve done another one this evening still faint and when I compared it it looked lighter. But I then realised that I think yesterdays one must have dried darker, is that a thing? I took a picture of it and you can see tonight’s line in the photo whereas yesterdays didn’t show up so I think that’s definitely a good sign!

On we go..

so sorry for your loss @Ttcagainnow wishing you all the best for this cycle

@Bluemilan your graph looks good. At this stage it is just confirming that you ovulated on CD13. The other temp rises can just be down to the progesterone rise.

You have a little temp dip at 6dpo. Some people believe this is due to implantation, however 10% of non-pregnancy cycles also have this and I have had them for the two cycles that I have been tracking (which is just a mean trick 😭).

I’m attaching my current cycle compared to the first cycle I tracked (the orange line). I was SO well-behaved in my first cycle, no drinking, early nights etc, so I think it’s quite a good example. In my second cycle I went on a girls weekend, I was sick - the temps are all over the place. So not including that one 😂

also attaching a pic from natural cycles that shows how the different hormones affect temperature, as I found it useful

I'd like to join please if ok! I had an early miscarriage in Jan, it broke me. I'm currently on CD1 and going to get on it this month. We didn't use protection last month but barely did it. Really ready to start trying again and hoping for a rainbow baby.

I hate not tracking because I hate that feeling of did I or did I not ovulate 😂 the EWCM is a good sign, I always hop on it when it's around 😂😂

@Kirkikins how are you getting on. ?

@Ermintinar that's so exciting; are you waiting to test again?

Oh that is a shame @Daniki ! Sorry your feeling down about it.

Also feeling a bit meh about the whole thing, really not to sure when I've ovulated, I think there might even be a chance that it's today, a week after the app date... Got some EWCM, I think? I just don't know anymore! Definitely going to start on the opk testing for next time because it's too much of a guessing game and quite a lot of getting down to business when there's a two week window of opportunity 😂

@CoolSummer89 you're so right, very early days.

@Bluemilan ive been charting but in no way a guru but here’s mine if you’re curious! I have lupus so my temps tend to be a degree higher I’ve noticed then most so I’d just look at the trend and not the numbers.

*sorry I’m 10dpo got the line at 9dpo yesterday

Hello!

I’ve been lurking on this thread and the last one for some time. I don’t normally post on these things but I’m currently 9dpo and got a vfl on a boots early test yesterday. I couldn’t believe it so I tried again on an frer and got a faint line there too. Both were straight away and with some colour. Not sure I’m going to fully allow myself to believe it yet until it’s stronger but eeeek! Want to do a test again today but what tests do people recommend for this early? TIA!

Hi all! Congratulations to everyone with their BFP! I've been trying to stay off mn as I tend to start going abit delulu in the tww watching everyone getting BFP etc. apparently it's not mumsnet, I'm the problem 😂. I did a test last night at 8dpo, obviously bfn. Don't know why I wasted my money! It's just hard working with pregnant women/newborn babies every day and it's not happening easily for us this time round!

I started charting this month which has definitely helped distract me, although I have no clue if it's looking good or not! If there's any chart gurus on here could you let me know what you think?

@TheLilacWriter it is very tempting, but much too early to be reading in to symptoms. However the reason why we get colds at this point in our cycle is to lower our immune system and allow for implantation, so all in all it's just a sign that your cycle is working as it should be. Best of luck over the next few days!

@CoolSummer89 i feel the meh very much these last few days.. my chart is looking weird for temps which is causing me a little worry. I’m getting cramps, and just feel generally tired and like I’m getting a cold also, which is no fun..
Very thankful I work from home today so I can stay in comfy clothes.

@CoolSummer89 Okay thank you ! That's good to know. I just like to cover the day of ovulation as partner has a known low sperm count so his sperm probably don't stick around for long lol. But what will be will be.
I've just booked us a holiday abroad for next year anyway to have something special to look forward to if we haven't conceived by then!

Yay, new thread! Thanks for setting it up @emmatcc1

AF was due for me yesterday but hasn't shown up yet - all I've had are BFNs along with the usual pms symptoms so suspect it will show up soon. Just want to be able to move on to the next cycle, hate this limbo 😓

Thanks ladies 🩷 ye are a great bunch!

@Daniki sending lots of love your way ❤️

@Elisabeth3468 the two days before ovulation are actually better than ovulation day itself so don’t be too disheartened. This is because (most) sperm live up to two days, whereas the egg only lives for about half a day.

Some sperm live up to 5 days but apparently this is very unlikely, and it’s more for people who are trying NOT to get pregnant.

Hi @Daniki i’m so sorry this month has been such a rollercoaster for you, hope you take the time to be a bit selfish today and do something just for you.

@TheLilacWriter i am 5dpo today and just feel so meh about everything. No babies yet, this is 4th cycle TTC for number 1. So trying not to panic too much but easier said than done! At least should have a answer this time next week.
