Congrats Martydog!

Yay Marty! Congratulations!

Congratulations @Martydog ! Everything crossed for you!

Ooh congrats Martydog!!

Started my latest lot of opks cd8 & now 4 days later absolutely nothing and yet (tmi sorry) seem to have the start of ewcm, which seems earlier than it should be for my usual 28 day cycle so don't know what's going on.

most likely surge is imminent ... Or youve just ovulated and the surge was shortlived.
Were the strips digital?

Congratulations @Martydog. What a lovely thing to see 

Sorry about af @Chatbash72 and @CookieWaffle but pleased you can see the bright side.

Mine is not here yet but it feels imminent. If I last the weekend I'll be very surprised!

Thanks Mellon :) and congrats Martydog, that's looking great!! xx

I really feel pregnant again. Im 10dpo. Hunger pangs at night and going off coffee. watery ewcm. tender nipples.
Could this be PMS??
Cant remember as not had period for 21/2 yrs. Also not sure when AF due as this is first cycle post mirena and ov was CD11 or just before.

Funkypuzzle only way to be positive is to take a test. I had a positive result at 12 dpo on cd26. Now on cd29 and taking a digital clear blue test tomorrow when AF would normally be just about over for me. All my symptoms have been the same as PMS which is quite stressful as I already can’t quite believe it, although since 13dpo my nipples (sorry TMI!) have been like bullets. Vvvvv embarrassing! That’s the only difference, that and this morning my tea tasted really tea leafy.

Thanks @mellongoose and @Floofsquidge take a test to be sure, damn pms/preggo symptoms are too alike.. 😞 more ubiquinol arrives today so 2nd month on them as well as the pre natal vits and omega 3,6,9 so hopefully eggs in 2 months will be super.. 🤞🤞🤞

And keeping 🤞🤞🤞crosses for you @mellongoose that af doesn't arrive x

Morning ladies, 9 days here since the removal of my implant and I'm really struggling to make any sense of my temperatures! It was first very low (35.8), then 36.3 ish for past few days but this morning had plummeted to 35.9?? I'm wondering if the implant hormones may still be in my system - I'm on low side of normal weight so it may be taking longer for them to clear??
Can I ask if you are taking your temps orally, armpit or vaginally? I'm measuring from armpit but just read that this may not be accurate enough? I have no other symptoms or Cm to speak of, so totally in dark..
I know it's early days but I feel so impatient!!
Amazing news Martydog and fingers crossed Funkypuzzle!

@Martydog - congratulations

@Ameliel - I take my temperature orally, easiest option when barely awake!

Ameliel - I think most people take temp orally, although apparently vaginally is the most accurate, but who wants to do that first thing in the morning when half asleep?!

So, ladies - I have found a really helpful (and quite fun) app for annalysing opk's. You take a picture of your stick (one step type cheapy) and it tells you the percentage of the strength of your test line compared to the control line. I love it!!
Mine was quite dark today, it was clearly positive, but was curious, it was 170%!!!

Thanks @Cleozeta and @crivit ! I'll switch to oral temps!
I've just ordered some opk's, just curious to see if they are helpful...just cheap ones from eBay...

Ooh cleo that sounds interesting, what's the app? Not that I actually have a hint of anything to test at cd13 but on the off chance of a rapid surge in the next 24 /48 hours, collared husband before he left for work at silly o'clock this morning!

Just confused myself - said cd8 yesterday and cd13 today. Had to seriously recheck my own counting and it's def 13 as af started on 2nd Sept, 30 day cycle, whereas previous 2 were both 28. Must be in fw now?

The app is called fertility test analyzer. It's really good!
Monday - I am 2 days ahead of you and got my +opk today at cd15. You did the right thing cracking on today just to be sure!

I can’t bear to test. All sorts of conflicting feelings.
I had a trisomy 21/2 yrs ago and couldn’t face going thru that again.. 😪😪
I’m feeling sickly so of course I’m worried that HCG levels are higher then expected at 2 weeks preg so that might mean I’m carrying another T21. I wouldn’t be able to confirm till 10 weeks +
I don’t even blimmin know if I’m pregnant yet!!!!
I just want a healthy bean so much.

Funky you're gonna have to test
Also don't worry about the Sickness meaning bad things. I have 2 DC after suffering with horrendous HG sickness, both fine

Thanks for all the congratulations. Just this one sticks after my mc October 17 and mmc May 18
