Dunno id do one lol prob cause we ve had a chemical in the past we find it harder to believe we re pregnant. I just took my temperature and fertility friend says my pattern has changed enough for it to think i havent ovulated😔

Oh that's rubbish, just keep bd'ing as much as you can. My digitals are still negative today, frer is still positive. Probably going to save the digital for wednesday instead of tomorrow since that's when ff is telling me to.

thisisouryrfx18 · 06/05/2018 06:11

Dnt even think i could dtd feeling totally drained from this ttc i was soo happy past couple of days now this! Thats gd ur frer is still positive ul get the digital in a couple of days especially with ur lines getting darker

I know how you feel. It got pretty mechanical for us at one point.
Did you try discarding your oral temps from your chart to see what it said?

thisisouryrfx18 · 06/05/2018 11:34

Yh still says i havent ovulated i dnt understand it i had 6 temps above coverline then a slight dip 2day at 7dpo(well it wouldve been if id ovulated like it said yest lol) i fot a dip at 7dpo was gd. Im beyond pissed off with it all now! Neway hows u did u do another frer today?

OP posts:
Aph413 · 06/05/2018 11:57

That's my only issue with temps, the not knowing until after you've ovulated when it can already be too late to catch it.
I did another frer and a digital today. Digital was negativr but frer was positive.
Ran out of patience and told my husband today, he's over the moon and isn't bothered my digitals were negative he said 6 positive first responses is enough for him.
If the gif loads this was genuinely his face when he realised what the baby gro in his hands meant.

OP posts:
Aph413 · 06/05/2018 15:39

Two of my friends already know because I was freaking out convinced I was seeing things. But we're going to wait now for bit and see how things go

thisisouryrfx18 · 06/05/2018 16:33

Thats gd must be soo xciting sharing it with ppl in RL

OP posts:
Aph413 · 06/05/2018 16:42

I'm honestly now terrified. It's real now and I'm worried it won't stick.

thisisouryrfx18 · 06/05/2018 18:34

I think once u get by the date ur period was due ul worry a little less then once u get a scan ul relax its just the waiting until then that will seem long. U can always vent on here lol that being said everything seems gd just now enjoy it! (im such a hypocrite i worry about everything lol)

OP posts:
Aph413 · 06/05/2018 19:45

Period was due yesterday. Thats why I've been worried about my lines not being dark enough. I mean I might've ovulated a little later or implanted later.
I'm such a hypocrite too haha.
We're going to book a private viability scan for the end of this month to help me feel better about it all.

thisisouryrfx18 · 06/05/2018 20:44

Thats gd uve got past the first hurdle, i think the scan will help u relax hopefully. What is it meant to b 3mnths before your first scan on nhs? When u actually think about it seems a lifetime when ur desperate to know if everything looks k.

OP posts:
Aph413 · 06/05/2018 21:10

Usually seems to be 10 weeks for booking in appointment between 12 and 13 weeks for dating scan 20 for the anomaly scan and then nothing unless you need it.
I'm so worried so I'm having the viability scan as soon as I can. Still going to wait a week or so before I book that though

thisisouryrfx18 · 06/05/2018 21:14

Yh if it puts ur mind at ease then why not

OP posts:
Aph413 · 06/05/2018 22:22

It'll probably help it feel much more real too.
I still feel crampy down one side but google keeps telling me its normal and I'm not getting any spotting or bleeding so it must be ok.

I think I'm the most useless example for this thread lol. I didn't manage to shorten my cycles at all.

thisisouryrfx18 · 07/05/2018 06:21

@Aph413 ur the best example 😂 we dnt care if our cycles are long if we get pregnant haha ❤

OP posts:
Aph413 · 07/05/2018 11:47

Made my.husband hide the tests as todays is lighter. I'm hoping its because I went to the bathroom at 5am and tested at 8am.
Told my mum today because I'm terrified it's not sticking, just went I've managed to get pregnant but I'm not sure I'm staying that way and burst into tears.
This is a ridiculous roller coaster. Feel like I could cry at the slightest thing right now.
Also my anxiety is sky high and I'm half convinced that 7 tests with lines on are all false positives and I'm not pregnant at all. I'll feel better if I get past this Saturday as that was my predicted period by averages on fertility friend.

thisisouryrfx18 · 07/05/2018 11:55

Yh its gd that uve told ppl its hard bottling all that up they can try and keep ur mind busy. I think that is why it was lighter it must be strong if u can still c a line on a 3hr hold☺once u get a positive on a digital it ll help u relax aswell. Was ur mum super excited?!

OP posts:
thisisouryrfx18 · 07/05/2018 11:55

Ur emotions will b all over the place with ur hormones aswell❤

OP posts:
Aph413 · 07/05/2018 12:11

I think she would have been pleased for me if I'd only said I was pregnant. As it is she's not the sort to get excited especially as she has had so many miscarriages and I mean more than 20. Plus two major ones at 16 and 20 weeks. So she's very cautious about pregnancies in general.

thisisouryrfx18 · 07/05/2018 12:38

Thats soo sad..20 wow she mustve been soo happy when she eventually had u..the only gd thing from that is she ll understand how scared ur feeling. Everythings looking gd soo far try and not worry i hope the nxt few days go in as quick as they can for yous cause she ll be nervous aswell❤

OP posts:
Aph413 · 07/05/2018 12:41

I'm one of many kids so she did manage to get her family. The two major miscarriages were inbetween me and my older sibling and she did tell me she didn't believe she would have me until I was almost here.
I think she does understand my panic but she's not letting me wallow at all. Half helpful half not. I'm ready to cry at a moments notice today

thisisouryrfx18 · 07/05/2018 16:52

Aww hope u feel better soon i get emotional from pms never mind being pregnant so i can understand why ur being emotional

OP posts:
Aph413 · 07/05/2018 16:56

She's been distracting me with gardening. Climbing fences the whole 9 yards. Hard to think about possibly miscarrying when you're on top of a raised border pruning bushes.
My husband has been on edge watching me though. Haven't had to lift anything heavier than a weed.

How is the ovulation wait going? Any closer to working it out?
