looking for nutty fun loving ttcers to share tips!

[thisisouryrfx18]

Wanted to start a thread for slightly bonkers ttcers who can laugh at themselves & boost one anothers moral😉 shy posters scared to talk about the nitty gritty shagging at all hrs and discussing cm in detail need not reply!😜

Okay so I see a very very faint line in that one without having to mess about with contrast or anything! Sorry that digital was negative though! Hmmm I guess you'll have to try again tomorrow again!

OMG just done two tests and definitely a line on each! Af was due yesterday and been having cramps since Monday so thought I was out this month! Fx it is a sticky bean

Not sure if you can see in the pics

Those are so so so clear!!!!!! BFP yay!!!!

Thanks @twittleBee

Forgot to say in my shock and excitement congratulations @Tefiti2 I can see the line too. Fx for you too

Thanks @twittlebee the curse of early testing 🙈 AF not due for a few more days yet! Yay @blondcat that’s fantastic!!! So so pleased for you xx

Omg @Blondcat and @Tefiti2 YES!!!!!! In tears for you both. Fx both are sticky xxxxxxx

@Blondcat yes! Congrats! First one of many in this thread 💪🏻

My Friday consisted of packing our suitcases for our holiday while hubby packed. Very rock and roll.

@Tefiti2 I can see a slight line on yours too....fx for you! It's so exciting!

@Blondcat yay! Defo a bfp there!!! Congrats!!!
@Tefiti2 I Defo see something on that one too!!! Don't worry about the digital, they're not nearly as sensitive as frer. It took 3 days after definitely line on frer for me to get 1-2weeks in digital.

Right that's it. I'm going for it. I'm giving up caffeine and alcohol until either af or bfp.

Almost positive opk today so we're almost in the tww. Eek!

Start getting busy with BD Cakelaur and hope this is the cycle for you FX!

@Cakelaur I'm going to join you on the alcohol front! I don't think I can bear to give up caffeine yet though until/if I get a BFP!
At least then if AF shows can treat myself with a glass of wine!!
When is AF due for you?

@TwittleBee we're already on day 5 of DTD every day. 5 more days to go, so we should have nicely covered O.

My pineapple is all ready to go. Tea has been changed to decaf and coffee will be cut down to one cup a day. And alcohol is cut until af shows (when I'll have a big glass of wine) or bfp (where I'll be so happy I won't care that I can't drink) oh an progesterone cream ready for the tww wait too

How are you all getting on?

@Rach0110 af/bfp is due around 7th April depending what day I Ovulate. You?

Cakelaur yes you go! Enjoy the DTD and the pineapple. No clue how you're fitting all this BDing in haha.

I'm okay. AF should have arrived today but she's a No show. BBT indicates I'm not pregnant so not bothering buying a test so it's a waiting game till she gets here. Worked out that actually if I get pregnant next cycle my due date could fall on my birthday which I actually would love.

@TwittleBee do u ever find u get overly caught up in the bbt and convincing yourself of pregnancy or lack there of . I'm on day three of bbt . And day 3 of cycle and I dread what ocd will occur come tww. I have ahabit of convincing myself I'm preg and getting really caught up in it and am extra devastated:(

lolacola13 It's my first proper cycle of charting. Did try to get into it before but kept being unable to due to DS still waking at night. Certainly convinced myself I was pregnant when I saw a massive temp spike but now I know I'm due AF at least without anymore POAS.

@TwittleBee what am I supposed to see throughout the month temp wise then my last three temps have been 36.25 and 36.35 . Hey maybe I'll save money on tests lol

I'm not totally sure but think I read somewhere about possible one day implantation dip in temperature and that your temp goes high when your pregnant.
Oh and then there's the need for a raise in temperature after ovulation and fall in temperature as period comes.

Cakelaur answered my charting query on another thread so she is probably best to ask, lolacola13

Oh it's so confusing! Thanks 🙏🏻 xxxx

lolacola13 hope this image helps?

I'm really excited for my bbt thermometer to arrive and join in! I'm cd 6 now and commencing DTD every other day until cd18ish. For this evening though, going out to a party and drinking for the last time again until AF. Usually I only drink during AF. Also OH is limiting alcohol after tonight so I think we will have a big night tonight before the calm to follow!!

Also Fx @TwittleBee that AF hasn't come today for a very good reason!! X

@TwittleBee omg!!! Fingers crossed for next month then!!
@lolacola13 general rule. Temps below 36.4 are pre ov and temps above 36.4 are post ov. Depending on your cycle length, (mines usually 26 days) I ovulate around cd14 and I have a 12day LP. Generally if my temps are still high around 9dpo I'll test. But technically you can not test and know. If you have 18 high temps you're pregnant.

Take all of this with a pinch of salt. I sometimes find my temps fluctuate a bit. And you can have the off low temp or odd high temp. You're looking for a pattern. And everyone's cover line is slightly different. Mine is quite low. My pre ov temps are generally 36.2 and below and my post ov are generally above 36.3

I've attached my chart so far. (Ok it won't let me add any more pics today!! Haha) But I had two random high temps a couple days ago, I'm going to ignore them because I know I'm about to ovulate in the next couple of days. Ovulation is confirmed by 3 temps higher than the previous 6.

Best book to read if you're really keen is taking charge of your fertility by Toni weschler. So insightful

Three consecutive temps that are considerably different then around ov ? Obviously opks too to help. Thanks so much this is all really helpful
