Marking my place...hoping I won't be here for long

Hi Mum ?? You could be close to getting a smiley face though considering the average women OV's on day 14

I feel terrible. I hardly slept in the night as I kept overheating and I've woken up feeling really fluey and achey DH is working otherwise I would be heading back to bed. I'm now 5dpo. If I make it to Wednesday morning without seeing AF then that's a really good sign because my LP has been 9 days in the 2 last cycles so Wednesday will be past that. Fx fx fx!

Oh I miscounted...actually 6dpo

Good luck pear. The 2ww is so hard, let alone when you're not feeling well hope you feel better soon & fx for you... When are you testing?

Pear I know you had loads of flashing smileys in a row but how many do you think I should expect before my peak? Also do you dtd on every flashing smiley day? Tia

Mumofone - No, I'm using the CbFm which is a different thing to the smiley sticks. When I used the smiley sticks with DS I only got 2 smiley faces. I can't remember how many it says you're meant to get. Does the box say?

Is this what you're using? uk.clearblue.com/clearblue-ovulation-test-range/clearblue-digital-ovulation-test-with-dual-hormone-indicator

Mumofone - I'll be testing good Friday

DH has returned from work to rescue me. I'm now in bed tucked up warm Jealous?

I am symptom spotting like mad but I don't think fluey feeling is a symptom Achey back, shivery, looking pale and burping.

I am also testing on Good Friday

Ava you're my testing buddy

Yep!

Hope you're feeling better soon, Pear!

Yes that's what I'm using, pear.
Eek not long... Good luck pear & Ava x

I had really achy boobies again last night so kind of started getting my hopes up, but they seem back to normal today

My bbt has risen again, I'm now 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit over my cover line, which is surprising considering DD fed loads yesterday and through the night

Can I ask anyone else who's temping to share their average pre-ov and post ov readings please? I've looked online but can't seem to find a chart where the mama has Breastfed through her cycle? x

Thanks Mumo , it feels like aaaaages though

Pear so I guess our big test day is the same. I'm certain I'm out though. Negative test yesterday and I'm really really moody like I get a day or so before af. I'm now just hoping af doesn't come till ideally Tues but definitely tomorrow or later as I want my luteal phase to at least be acceptable.

Drolove - no sadly I'm after you. Looks like you're testing Wednesday and Ava and I will be testing on Friday. I'll be 12dpo on Friday and considering I got my BFP with DS at 11dpo I think I should probably be safe to test at 12 DPO.

Ava, my temps are usually around 36.1, dip a bit on day of ovulation, then 36.4 just after getting to 36.7 when I've conceived. This month is all over the show as both girls are so bad at night I never get a decent chunk of sleep!

How are you feeling Pear?

Weird cycle for me... Seemed to have a temp dip and increase on Thurs, then started getting cramping and pain over left ovary and EWCM today. So wil snuggle up to Dh tonight just in case. Is much earlier than expected for me still but not complaining

Oh eggs I feel terrible. Thanks for asking. You know that feeling when you're about to come down with flu? That's how I feel I feel hot and achey and I have lower back pain.

Thanks Eggs, I'm taking my temps in Fahrenheit and the readings were in the 96's pre-ov (so consistent with yours) and are now in the high 97's - really hope they keep rising...

I might also be a mouth sleeper (how would I know?! I'm sleeping! Lol!) so I'm also wondering if my temps would read higher if I could be certain of keeping my mouth shut

Oh Pear you sound like I did during OV last month hopefully it won't last too long, mine was about 3 rotten days from start to finish so not too bad x

A lot of us seem to be having ovarian twinges this month (I'd never experienced this before?!) so hoping it's a lucky month for us x

Ava I'm envious that you have temps to go on

All the months I've experienced OV twinges its ended in a bfn so it doesn't make me feel confident

Hallo all you ladies riddled by illness and achy boobies! Feel better soon!
I've been baking for a friend's baby shower and am pooped, dc has a fever and I have a positive opk! Shaggity shag.
Saw playgroup mom with her 11 month old and new bump due in May.

What's so annoying is that I know a Lempsip would sort me out
