The July 19ers - STILL never beaten, and rocking our FJs for a lucky thread

[Frazzlerock]

Here it is! Our lucky one 🤞

Love it. So I count 8 dogs, 4 cats, 3 horses (plus 1 Shetland) and a lizard! Any advances?!

And 2 rabbits 😁

5 cats I think.

And I won't tell Ziggy you called him a lizard 😜

Shit sorry - gecko 😁

I have a cat too! Currently sleeping on me as he's not very well unfortunately.

I think it's going to be a CP massive temp drop today

Your temp is still really high Twittle and way above cover line. I think it's normal to have some variance. Can you get hcg levels done by your gp? And how are the cramps you were having?

I had a temp drop this morning too. I'm 7dpo according to FF so could be implantation dip. I thought I might be 9dpo in which case it would be pre AF dip and I'd expect spotting to start today. Alternatively I could be 4dpo so who knows.

I'm still very crampy so pretty sure it's just gonna end with a CP but thank you Kin I guess at least it's way above coverline still

It's tricky isn't it with our your previous temps! FX it is an implantation dip. I was reading some interesting article about the implantation dip actually and how no one is sure exactly why there is a dip at around implantation for many women.

Yeah I've read that it's not a real thing (implantation dip) but apparently the fertility friend data shows it is. I didn't get it on my pregnancy chart though.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I understand being realistic and trying not to get your hopes up though.

We went back to the dry ski slopes today to try and get some practice in before going on holiday - so much fun!

But more pregnant women get it than don't get it so they think it might be hormonal.

Will be interesting to see how your chart ends up looking, whether it leads to BFP (hopefully) or AF.

Ah nice! Is there much difference between dry and snow? I've never done either but would love to do it at least once

Hope all is well @TwittleBee

Am on day 10 of no LH surge (CD16). Running out of patience!!!

@pegase
Is this your pre AF cycle or post AF??
I’m on post AF cycle CD20 and my clearblue monitor hasn’t shown me a peak day yet and I think I had LH surge on cd18 and maybe o’d Yesterday??? This is my chart... (can’t use FF this month as changed from F to C half way through).
Is that right @twittle, your temps rise on day after Ov?? Is it worth dtd today (did it last night).

I’m double temping at the mo, once with bbt and with lady comp machine at same time as bbt is consistently reading 0.2 higher than ladycomp and I don’t want to mess up my chart. Obvs I don’t know which is correct!!

FX for you @twittle xx

@Twittle have you done a test today? I don’t understand charts, but if it’s a CP the line should be getting fainter, not stronger. I have everything crossed for you xxx

@TwittleBee your temp is still way above the cover line, so would assume you're safe? It's definitely worth testing again though.

@tigsyboo this is post-AF cycle. Fairly sure I am having a normal cycle as in have changed to EWCM and cervix v high atm. The cycle I got pg I definitely ov around CD 22/23 so that means obsessive DTD for another week if I am following that pattern.

@TwittleBee I hope you're okay. I agree with @Rose And @rather re testing. I don't know about CP, or what they actually mean.
I also agree that your temp is still above coverline but also understand not getting your hopes up.

@tigsy great looking temp! I'd go again tonight and tomo if you can.

I've another fractionally higher temp today. Woke up in the night a few times with terrible dry mouth and had the squits all morning, lovely! But I feel a lot slimmer 😂
I know I'm looking for symptoms, Flo is saying to test on Tues so I might test Weds or Thurs if no sign of AF.

Does temp drastically drop before AF? Or might I expect AF without a drop?

@Frazzle I have the dry mouth too, what that all about? I don’t know if this is new tww thing for me, or I’ve just never noticed before.

I've not had the dry mouth thing except in preg, but metal mouth drives me insane. It's so horrid and I long for AF to come so it goes away. I think that's down to progesterone, maybe dry mouth is that too? Maybe that my new TWW symptom too. How annoying!

I'm having an Oikball day today. Tournament for DS2 right now (I'm freezing my tits off) and then he's ball boy again for Millwall this eve. They get two goes at it. I'd rather be snuggled up at him I bloody hate football! I tried to get DS2 into ballet and he seemed to enjoy it but he gave it up when we moved out of London. So I have to suffer!

*home not him

Oh Frazzle that's rubbish!

I've got dry mouth too... also exactly the same symptoms I had on cd20 as I did on cd20 when I was pg. Trying very hard not to overthink it as I know the chances of us conceiving this month are minimal

I'll do another test tomorrow, I've only got the internet cheapies though. Thank you everyone.

Frazzle I think it really does differ between people but I'm sure everyone's temp drops the day before AF? For me I start temp dropping 8/9dpo and it's back to coverline by 12dpo. For me, your chart would be an amazingly hopeful one but like I said it does differ between us all in sure. FX though!!

tigsy looking good that chart! Yeah your temp should shoot up day after Ov.

That's bloomin big coincidence if you aren't gonna see a BFP though Rather FX.

I'm feeling so left behind 😭 only just had my first bfn and still only CD24 after misoprostol. Reckon I'm going to have a long cycle this time too.

But in the 'good news' column, DS is still totally cool about having given up bf'ing. I thought he was going to be really cross w me but he's just accepted it, no tears at all. That is a result!!

Afternoon everyone, I am so jealous of all the animal pictures! I have wanted a golden retriever or golden lab for as long a I can remember but DH is not on board. I've made it clear though that if the baby thing doesn't work out I am definitely having one! I think if I had one this whole thing would have been easier as a dog cuddle would have been so lovely, I know we've all mentioned it before but it lonely going through all of this. even though I have a fabulous husband and a very loving and caring family I just cant help but feel that no one knows how I actually feel and they wont ever because they havn't experienced it.

I'm also finding it a bit strange being back to work and now that the Christmas and New Year celebrations have settled down I feel like the reality of the miscarriage has really kicked in yet everything is normal for everyone else going about their daily routines. it might just be because its January i've always hated January anyway but this one is even cruder than normal.

I am also still waiting for Af to turn u I am now on cd35 which would be usually when have my period on a normal cycle but nothing has happened and I feel like it isn't going to happen now. I feel really inpatient waiting for it and now I feel like I might just tart trying anyway but I know if I did fall pregnant I would stress about not being able to personally date it myself. Very envious of you all with your charts, as I never did do BBT as I thought it would stress me out to much and take away the fun of it all.

Hope your all having a nice weekend

For me, I can get AF and then get the temp drop up to one or 2 days later. I just depends.....
This time I got AF and then temp dropped next day.
I'm on CD8 here and I bled for a full 7 days so first non bleeding day today.

Also exhausted after crazy work today and then had all my chores to do once home.

@Twittlebee - I hope your temp drop is just a small dip. I stop taking my temp straight after a BFP as it can cause too much anxiety when things are actually OK. I am sending you positive thoughts.

@proseccobee - loads of people don't temp who are TTC so don't worry about that at all. I like to have control over things so it helps me to track things and it keeps my mind in check.

I've never had the dry mouth or the metal mouth. Once cycle I had loads and loads of saliva which is a pregnancy symptom but I didn't get pregnant that cycle and I've never had it again!!!

With you Betty and Prosecco... also feeling somewhat behind... AF in theory due pretty soon. Will be a relief to get it over with so we can start trying again. Never been very patient so all this waiting (both when pregnant and when not) is torture. My 40th birthday is 2 days prior to brexit so it doesn’t help being constantly reminded in the news how my time is running out! Aaarggghhhhhhhhh
