Thread two for TWW begins...stop me POAS every day!

Londonkez great to hear from you. That's great that your cervix is healthy. That is one less thing to worry about! How is your chart? I will attach a picture of mine so we can compare

Chikitiki I hope you are okay. At least the arrival of AF gives you some clarity and a new beginning.

Pineapple congratulations 🎉 I hope you had a wonderful wedding ✨💜✨

BLS I used cheap opks as well as the clear blue advanced fertility monitor. I agree that it really makes it stress free as I know exactly what's happening in my body. It also tells me that my body is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing.

38 How was the gin tour? I am still trying to lose weight, so I resisted I am down 17lbs and counting... I have 13lbs to go 🙌

Here's my chart so far 🤞🤞🤞

It's cool to see the chart thanks for sharing @Carastarchild I don't know anything about temping at all but have done it for the last two days. First day my app said "are you sure" because I was too cold? 35.4 degrees. Today I think it was 36.5 or something like that. Going to try logging for a while to see if I get anything useful from it.

First morning might not count as I did it before getting up for the day but was woken before that and got up for a bit at 4 .30am because something fell off the top of my wardrobe in the night and scared the £&)@ out of me!!

Also I tried to order some more conceive plus from Amazon but I needed to add £2.05 worth of stuff to get free delivery. Finally found a qualifying item but then when I got to the checkout realised minimum order of that item (dry shampoo) has to be 2 items. This was after trying to add travel sickness bands which are free delivery anyway so didn't count. It also seems Amazon was trying to get me hooked in to a 3-monthly subscription of the lube. After loads of faffing I decided not to bother.

Chikitiki are you using a bbt thermometer? I only ask because they measure to two decimal places, which is a requirement of charting. Also use coconut oil, as it has been proven by the egg whisper, on YouTube to be sperm friendly. She's a fertility specialist who deals with couples going through IUI and IVF. I use an organic coconut oil. I used preseed once and I didn't like the sensation it gave or it's ingredients. Natural is definitely better 👌😊👌

I am back to work tomorrow 💆😑💆

My temperature dipped a little this morning! I have everything crossed hoping it will rise again in the morning 🤞🤞 🤞

Did anyone ever get bad lower back/pelvic pain before getting a BFP...it started 6dpo and I still have it today 8dpo. In all my time TTC I have never felt this... clutching at straws...🙏

I also use coconut oil @Chikitiki. We've always used it as a lube. Make sure it's virgin and organic!

Chart is looking good @carastarchild and a dip sounds positive 🤞🏼

Here's mine...looks like I'm back to a 28 day cycle after 2 at 25 days which I'm grateful for!

Congratulations @PineappleC! I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating and a fantastic honeymoon x

Thanks guys. Going to try out the coconut oil.
Also my thermometer is just a normal one and I forgot to do it this morning... Don't think I can be bothered with it any more!

That's great news @Londonkez 👏👏👏 Everything sounds like it's improving for you 🤗 Hopefully you won't be waiting too much longer 🤞🤞🤞 I have attached my chart from this morning.

@Chikitiki don't throw the towel in! It actually tells much about your cycle. Get a bbt thermometer on Amazon if you feel like giving it a go. I guess I like the science behind it. I use coconut oil for my gums, face, body and my ladybits 😊😊😊 It's Fab!

Doesn't it look like the tip of a star 🤔🤔

This is my chart now. If the temperature doesn't go back up, AF will be on her way...😔

Oh no @Carastarchild I hope it's just a one day dip and your temp goes back up again. How long is left of your cycle?

Thanks SO MUCH for the coconut oil advice. My bits feel great since using it. I am a new woman!!
Also, I have eczema on my hands which is so much better today since applying the coconut oil to my bits! It's actually really noticeable to me that the fingers which touched the coconut oil are so much better today. I am really hopeful I can use coconut oil on my hands now and stop using steroid cream which I was using quite a bit since the eczema has been so bad the last couple of weeks :)

Glad to hear it @Chikitiki!

Is this your first month back temping @carastarchild? The temps being lower on the odd day don't matter unless they are consistently below the coverline. Mine go up and down, but only go below the cover line 1 or 2 days before AF which is around 11dpo for me. I've also read that triphasic charts are actually quite rare and don't turn triphasic until around 5 days after implantation, so there's still plenty of time x

I was worried that my temps have been getting gradually lower overall but my doc said not to worry too much because the general pattern is consistent.

This is my overall since I started temping that I showed the gp x

Chiki that's great that you love coconut oil! I find it fabulous!

Chiki and London I am 9 dpo, so I have 5 nights more on the cyclogest, so that will keep AF away until then...I was just hoping it would be higher today, as it this is the second day it is down. When you have Luteal phase problems then it is not so nice to see it down. I am so tired of trying to get pregnant...how is it so hard...I get so so tired of it. If it is not up tomorrow morning then that's it...I know how it goes. I am feeling sad about the whole thing, and I am really trying not to go there yet!

Hi @carastar well done on the weight loss. Gin tour was ace. We made three yummy cocktails which I probably shouldn't have drunk but being teetotal hasn't helped so far... Also got a bottle to take home which I will save until I know I'm out this month.

I sympathise with you about work. I spend most of my time feeling stressed which isn't helping with ttc. It's quite difficult to stay positive especially cos I worry that we've left it too late. Am thinking about getting some tests if nothing happens this month.

Am keeping fingers crossed for you that the temperature drop is temporary and you get your BFP this month. In the meantime, thanks for the coconut oil tip🌴 Xxx

Sorry you're feeling down @Carastarchild don't feel guilty about it though. It's ok to be fed up sometimes.

Our next thread should be called something to do with coconut oil!!! Lol

Sorry for being a Moody lady! 🙈

Londonkez your charts look great! This is my first month temping properly. I did try it at the beginning of TTC, but I was too lazy to continue.

38 Thank you lovely! My manager causes a lot of my frustration. I will be kind and call him a story teller, all words no action kind of person. I have had so many conversations about an issue I was having and it was like water off a ducks back... I finally put it in writing and emailed him! He's not a sincere person so I felt this was the best approach. You have not left it too late..push that thought firmly away from you!

Chikitiki I like that idea 👏👏👏👏🍌🍒😋😋😋

Thanks you for the kind words @chikitiki ✨✨💜✨✨

So this happened with a fr this morning potentially 6 days before af 🤔

@Bls 🎉🎉🎉🎉 wow! Fx for a stronger line 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Ooooohh!!! @BLS1983 I think I see something there!!! Got my fingers crossed for you hoping this is it!!! Xxxx
