Thought I would start up a new bus before the old one stalls, so ho aboard!

If that's the case mrsb I'm buggered I'm up at least twice per night for a wee! And I'm not even pregnant yet!

wispaxmas · 24/09/2013 21:00

MrsB, it has for me! I've been waking up loads of times, but as long as I'm still half asleep when I take my temp at getting up time, it stayed super regular.

OP posts:
m33r · 24/09/2013 21:24

Thank you all so very very much for happy thoughts! I think the good vibes will def help me!

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/09/2013 21:40

I read on here somewhere that temping was not for folk who get up in the night?

wispaxmas · 24/09/2013 21:45

Notta, they say you need 3 hours of sleep before taking it, and it needs to be within the same 20 minutes or so every morning, but for me as long as I took my temp when I was still half asleep at roughly the same time each morning I was fine, even if I'd gotten up to pee less than 2 hours before. My pre ov temps stayed within 0.1 degree Celsius of 35.85, before dipping 0.3 and then rising about 0.6 degrees. I took my temps any time between 6 and 8, though mostly close to 7:20, but none of it made a big difference.

Only think that really effected my temps was that I got drunk at a wedding and the next morning my bbt has risen a whole degree!! So alcohol will throw it off way more than getting up to pee.

Hi ladies, ive been away for a few days with no WiFi access and this thread has totally left me behind. I see a few new bfps since I was last around, congratulations!

I'm currently cd27, only ov'd on cd20 and already feeling all the usual pre af twinges, and have been for a couple of days, since 5dpo. Feeling pretty gutted and not at all hopeful. Don't think I'm going to bother testing unless af hasn't shown up by the end of the weekend as am certain it will be bfn, but I think I'll get af by Saturday anyway. Will be keeping an eye out for all of you testing on Fri, got my fingers crossed for you all. Good luck x

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/09/2013 22:18

Wispa - thanks for the info. So wine plus peeing in the night and regular night wakibg will prob not help? I am a light sleeper - damn cat wakes me up regularly and i also get night terrors .... Blush so wake sometimes with that or get very agitated sleep.

Ho hum. I am holding out til xmas then will rethink my game plan! This month i just need to dtd more i think!!

I think the august bus had LOADS of bfps.

onelifeonechance · 24/09/2013 22:50

Finally found the last August thread, 23 BFPs, we've got some catching up to do girls Smile

MrsB2013 · 24/09/2013 22:53

Thanks Wispa!

I will give it a go anyway and see what happens. Sometimes I sleep all night and others I can be up 3 times!

So temp has to be taken at the same time each day? Is there a big difference in temp if you do conceive?

You learn so much on here, before ttc I just thought come off the pill and see what happens, now I'm turning slightly crazy like everyone else lol

PurpleGeekyGirl · 25/09/2013 07:15

Another bfn for me this morning, despite now being 2 days late and having none of my usual preaf signs. Used a cb so trust it but it does mean I can now take drugs for my stinking cold. And good news the vits have lengthened my cycle.

How's everyone else this morning?

jaykay987 · 25/09/2013 07:18

Mrsb - temps if you conceive do not necessarily form the same pattern. The main use is to confirm ovulation.

wispaxmas · 25/09/2013 07:20

Sorry to hear about the bfn, purple. I do know someone who got BFNs all the way until 18dpo when she finally got a positive. You might have a lower natural level of hcg in your system, which would make it take longer to kick off, and sometimes an egg will just hang around for a few days before implanting, so you really never know. Also, clearblue tests have a higher threshold for hcg, and if you want a brand name test, the first response are the most sensitive.

wispaxmas · 25/09/2013 07:25

My temps have continued to go higher generally, whereas I think they would go up, stay up for a couple weeks and then drop down for AF, though sometimes they stay elevated for the first few days of the cycle... Apparently if you continue to temp in early pregnancy you an see a mc coming as you temp will suddenly fall as no progesterone will be being made anymore.

That said, I've stopped temping.

I need some bfp news this morning. I'm off to Croydon for my intimidating immigration interview to be (hopefully) granted leave to remain in the uk as the spouse of a British citizen. Studidly expensive this to do, and they ask the most ridiculous questions. Fore example: have you ever committed war crimes? Have you ever committed genocide? Have you ever done anything to suggest that you may not be a person of good character?

Shock

onelifeonechance · 25/09/2013 07:36

13dpo, no af yet but I can very much feel her tapping on my shoulder poas BFN Sad Oh well, back to waiting, if she's coming I wish she'd just show herself and stop taunting me.

Sorry can't give you bfp news wispa, hope somebody else can, anyone else due to poas today? Good luck at your interrogation

Hang in there purple Cake

cheesysmile · 25/09/2013 07:37

Morning ladies - sorry you got a bfn purple.

Wispa - Christmas! What an awesome name Grin

I'm still holding off testing, but temp still up today which is feeding my 'I think I'm preggers because ...' addiction! It was this many dpo last cycle that I got AF, however I'm not sure last cycle really counts as was first after mc so was a bit mucked up. Oh I really am going to be fed up if I'm not. Nothing I can do but wait though I guess.

Any other testing news this morning? We need some more bfps on the bus!

cheesysmile · 25/09/2013 07:38

Ah sorry onelife Flowers hang in there.

onelifeonechance · 25/09/2013 07:40

My test was a cheapie from savers, think it said it detected at 25 hcg, is that high? will be near Boots/Asda later, if af keeps a low profile may crack open the purse, any recommendations??

onelifeonechance · 25/09/2013 07:44

Thanks cheesy Smile I caved this morn as af usually comes CD24/25 and as today is CD26 I got myself sl excited, in fact woke up at 4am and was so tempted to get out of bed to test there and then but so glad I didn't now

cheesysmile · 25/09/2013 07:46

Onelife superdrug tests are very reasonable price wise and detect 10 hcg I think. I have them and clear blue digi which I think are 25 as well.

onelifeonechance · 25/09/2013 07:52

Ooo thanks, may have to swing by superdrug later then....thanks.

V impressed with your resolve (go cheesy!) How many dpo are you? Is it Fri you're testing? Hope af leaves you alone

onelifeonechance · 25/09/2013 07:53

Don't know why I said thanks twice but it's nice to be polite, manners don't cost anything Smile

cheesysmile · 25/09/2013 08:12

ha ha onelife - how very British of you! Wink

If I count when I think I ovulated as 0 dpo then I'm 11 dpo today so holding out until Friday when I will be 13 dpo. Is that right or is the day you ov counted as 1 dpo? Ah whichever I'm testing Friday anyway.

Only one more morning to resist poas (or in a pot)!

m33r · 25/09/2013 08:18

Hi cheesey. I resisted too. On fri I'll be 14dpo. One more day of resisting. I have everything crossed!

PurpleGeekyGirl · 25/09/2013 08:24

Thanks everyone Smile I don't think I am pg tbh. Oh the tww is so frustrating isn't it!! Phoning gp today to get results of 21 day bloods.

lucyfluff · 25/09/2013 08:26

Hi ladies, you are not going to believe this. My D(dickhead) H actually threw away my pee. That I had hidden in the bathroom at 4.30 this morning grrrrrrrr!!!! To make it worse he hasn't even acknowledged he did it, just kissed me goodbye. Wtf?!

Had to poas using non fmu and BFN again.

In other news, one boob is very tender, not nipple tho weirdly!!

Good luck today wispa, that sounds so stupid considering you are married now! I love reading back through your chat this morning.

Good luck to anyone else poas today :)
