1 dpo - 2ww buddies

@Bb542 so I can see the faintest of faint lines in the first one that could be an indent but I can see it much clearer in the second later photo. Not really known an indent to be there from the start then get darker? So could be good news!

I would also add @Bb542 that I think you have to take a reading from a test within 10 mins, so the second pic might not be reliable, I could be wrong but I am pretty certain I can see something on the first one anyway 🤞🏼

It's so difficult tracking with PCOS isn't it @MocktailMe my premom app barely picked up LH surge and I only confirmed ovulation with a blood test 🙄 not sure if anyone else had tried theses things with PCOS but I've found zita west supplements and acupuncture really helped my cycles.

Hi @Bb542 that looks like a positive to me 🙏🏼✨how exciting, have you had any symptoms?

I can see a shadow too 🤞🏼

Thanks for replying @LucyCL I won't get my hopes up but good to know I wasn't going totally mad, will keep test again in a couple of days 😀

Can I join? I'm 9dpo today too 🥰

I thought I could see a shadow of a line on a Boots Early test today (see first photo). About an hour later I came back to it and it looks like the second photo.... 🤔 could be an indent but there is colour in it 🤔

Hope everyone gets a BFP soon ❤️

@LucyCL I can't use OPKs unfortunately. Due to having PCOS I have high LH a lot of the time, and get blazing positives nearly every day of the month. Once my period arrives I can work out when I ovulated, and I'm meticulous about tracking and logging symptoms. By doing this I'm quite good now at identifying ovulation. However, my body usually tries to ovulate at least 3 times per cycle (which are between 28-38 days). I don't know for sure which is successful until period arrives.

I can see a very very very faint shadow on the top one. 🙂

I swore I wouldn't do this on the TWW 🤦🏼‍♀️
Is the shadow (if anyone can even see it) on the top test an indent line?
I've put it next to a fresh test as honestly - I just don't think I trust my own eyes right now, anyone else feel like this. I think that every symptom I have is just in my head because I've read it on a forum 🤪 and then I thought I seen a shadow on this test this afternoon but I'm only 9 DPO so I doubt it!

I don't know if you go to an NHS clinic or a private one. With NHS, usually there is a long waiting list for people to book appointments. Although it is not specific to pregnancy, however I can understand your pain and would like to share my experience. I went to the dentist this Jan and asked for a small procedure/surgery. It took NHS 5 months to contact me for the first appointment. When I went to the appointment, they just checked my health and said the procedure will be taken place in the next appointment. I couldn't book the appointment myself because someone from NHS will contact me to book the following appointment. So I assume it will take NHS another 5 months to contact me again ...

You have a long cycle and I assume you use OPKs to confirm ovulation? I use BBT, LH strips, CB fertility monitor and Mira to confirm LH Peak. That is why I knew the exact date of ovulation for this cycle. I BDed every day until the ovulation day. I used to have 32 day cycles before MCs and I know that usually the luteal phase lasts for 14 days for most women. Although I don't know how long this cycle is going to be for me, however today is 11 dpo so I guess it is safe to assume that I only have to wait 3 extra days to see what is about to happen.
Good luck to you!!!

Here is what I found : Urinary PdG (pregnanediol-3-glucuronide) is a direct reflection of the progesterone levels in the blood. This is because after progesterone circulates through the bloodstream, it is then metabolized and released in the urine as PdG.
Mira measures pdg which kinda represents progesterone and estrogen. If they rise after 10 dpo, that means there is a greater chance of pregnancy. Mine is not really clear at the moment.

Thank you so much. I've been told the clinic was cancelled due to sickness and I will be rebooked but nothing available to book yet which is frustrating.

I have to say your chart looks very promising. I have everything crossed for you. We are in the same boat of not knowing where our cycles are and it's hard!

I've continued to have sex this week, extending my chances right up to a 42 day cycle. Some months we stop too early and end up missing late ovulation so I really didn't want that to happen. Id always recommend the same to anyone struggling with irregular cycles. The frustrating part is if we simply had sex every other day none of us would need to track a thing, but life just gets in the way!!!

It's still probably too early @LucyCL if your BBT is still elevated, no AF yet and PGT is not low, surely all good signs 🙏🏼🤞🏼 does Miri measure you're progesterone? That's good to know 👍🏼

I agree with you. I am sorry it happened to you! I hope you will manage to get an appointment soon!

Officially 11 dpo, no BFP or AF which is supposed to be due today. BBT is still high and my pdg level is not low enough to get AF (I guess) on Mira chart. This is the 1st cycle after a CP so I don't know what is happening.

@KLPark That is fine. Don't worry!😄

I am so frustrated and upset. My appointment at the hospital has been cancelled and will be rebooked for later in the year. I was really keeping going with the hope of that in the pipeline :( now that's cancelled, I dont think I'm pregnant this month either.

Reasonably, this is not the end of the world. And I would be absolutely fine if someone just told me, don't worry, this will definitely happen for you within the next year or whatever. It's the not knowing I can't stand.

Oh gosh @LucyCL I am so so sorry I thought the test at the top of your post was yours 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ jeeeez! Sorry still figuring this app out!

That's amazing @LucyCL congratulations!!!

That is really helpful! Thank you! I use premon and flo to record my BBT. I also use Easy@Home oral thermometer.

@LucyCL As long as BBT is high and AF hasn’t arrived you are still good, I think temp starts to drop day of two before AF.

My test are getting darker, officially one day late this was this morning 😊
Still getting intense stabbing pains every now and again, seeing the GP next week!

@hannah1201 ahh wow! Thanks for sharing that, there's no doubt that's a BFP 🫶🏼 I tested this morning at 8DPO and not a hint, so this gives me hope. Fingers crossed for everyone else too! 🙏🏼

@LucyCL I use my Apple Watch to BBT I am not sure about the resting heart rate data though, would love to understand more how that works with TTC.

What I have found using my Apple Watch with Natural cycles - it's great because you don't need to remember to temp in the morning but if it isn't fully charged or the battery dies during the night it won't log a temperature. I've been logging everything for the past two months and two nights in this cycle my battery died(my own fault I guess ) but it's thrown out all of my cycles and even though I've had ovulation confirmed with a progesterone blood test, Natural Cycles has me
not ovulating this month and it's kicked it all out of sync so none of it's reliable, I've had to contact support.
But I've also used the Premom Bluetooth oral thermometer (obsessive I know but I wanted to compare the two ) and the temp is quite a bit lower than the Apple Watch - just something to bare in mind as well as setting the charging reminders for your watch. 😀

@hannah1201 aw yayyy I’m so pleased for you, congrats! :)

AF still hasn’t arrived for me - feeling nauseous, tender breasts, highly emotional but still getting ‘not pregnant’ on clear blue ultra early digital :/ x

I bought an apple watch hoping to use it to predict pregnancy in the future. However I am still very new to RHR and not familiar with its relationship with BBT. I started to wear it 3 days ago.
8 dpo: 79 bpm
9 dpo: 67 bpm
10 dpo: 63 bpm

However this morning my BBT has gone back up again. I'd be grateful if anyone could shed a light! 💙
