@DuchessofPemberley yes get a frer!! I would try and wait to use it until tomorrow morning though as you'll get a more accurate result with fmu 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@DayDreamer1707 it could be a good sign, it definitely means I'm not 100% out anyway!

Usually the temp drop happens and I get AF that day. I was worried yesterday because if AF had arrived early that would have put my cycle at 24 days. I'm usually 27 to 31 days and when I'm extra stressed, like when my sister-in-law died last year, my cycle went down to 26 days for a couple of cycles. 24 seemed worryingly short to us based on my usual, so my mind was going to the Bad Fertility Place.

I had AF like cramps all last night, so every time I went to the bathroom I was expecting the worst. If I could get to Sunday/Monday before AF that wouldn't be too bad.

@DuchessofPemberley @DayDreamer1707

Thanks guys! I'm just not feeling positive. Neither are my tests 😂😂

@cupcakesandglitter how are your temps looking cycle twin? X

Oh my god @DuchessofPemberley this happened to someone last cycle!! I've forgotten who it was (so sorry, we've had so many BFPs recently 😅) but I knew they were pg, they were!!! Use those points and get a FRER eeeek!!!!

Hey @FlapJackered 😊 so it rose today - I woke up naturally at 6.20 😡 and I usually take it at 7am so FF has marked it with the white circle... I'm hoping it's a true temp though. Guessing maybe I'm a slow riser? If not I haven't ovulated but I'm like 99.999999% certain I did. I've put my chart in! How're yours? XX

So I've just checked on the bbt checker and if I was to have taken it at 7am then it would've been 36.20 - which is definitely above my cover line! I've left it as is on FF, but I've changed it on Flo to .20. I really hope it stays up now 😂 DH is too scared to have sex with me after last month, so I don't think we'll have sex until AF is here 😭

At least I can say I'm actively participating in dry January 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@DayDreamer1707 I have really light AF and I'm always worried that it's my lining that's not thick enough for the cells to implant. But good old google says light periods isn't something to worry about.

So my light cramping and light spotting has now gone, so I'm hopeful that it was an IB. Again good old google says you should get a + test after 3 days. So I think I'm going to cave and test Sunday with a frer 🙈

My skins pretty spotty today too. It's been fab since coming off the pill 😫

I can't believe how naive I was before coming off my pill! I thought I'd stop taking in December and by October we'd have a little baby! How wrong was I

@cupcakesandglitter 😂😂
That is great it's gone up! Your chart definitely looks like you ov'd on 21st, same as me!!
Mine has stayed up so I am munching on Brazil nuts and doing fertility meditation clutching my fertility crystals. Definitely not losing it! 😂
'2 bfps for cupcakes and flapjackered please!' 🙋‍♀️
When do you think you'll test if af doesn't show up? I am thinking 4th for me. I don't think I can bear seeing a bfn again 😩

@FlapJackered yes please!! DH bought me Brazil nuts but has left them at work 🤦🏻‍♀️ hopefully he remembers to bring them home! I'm also snacking on pineapple!! Apparently it's really good for you, and soups in the TWW as well to keep your womb warm apparently!! I'm going to test on the 5th (I think) because I'm not sure how long my LP is 😩 omg would we have the same due date?! Imagine!! Xx

@DuchessofPemberley

Wow! Sounds very promising! 🤞

My temp shot up yesterday (dpo 11) but I am a bit poorly after vaccinations which might explain that. Then today dropped again, still above cover line but seems to be on the way down. So pretty sure I am out... Also did another POAS yday and was negative.

I am impressed with your willpower! Test! Test! Test! Even though those bloody FRERS are ludicrously expensive?!

@thumper59 @MrsR16 roll on the next cycle! Here's for Valentine's Day specials!

@cupcakesandglitter ha ha ha! @ dry January! 🤣

That rise in temp looks promising... I'm new to temping so still learning the ropes, and mine are seriously erratic. Up and down! Need a degree in astrophysics to work them out?!

@FlapJackered yes! Brazil nuts and pineapple! Someone told me that on here (might even have been you...!)

Good luck to you all!

@BabySquid Thank you, its just not been enough over the last 2 days to even begin to fill a tampon, sorry TMI. I am due tomorrow so I will see if it becomes heavier. I have previously got at least 1-2 days of slightly heavier flow. Howe many DPO are you? When are you due AF?

@DayDreamer1707 I'm not due till next Thursday, and Ov'd last wed the 16th. So currently 9DPO, will be 11 by Sunday.

@DayDreamer1707 @BabySquid I had to do a fair share of reading to make sure my periods weren't too light. They say that it's still normal if there's enough to soak two tampons over the entire time, which is about two tablespoons, if you don't use tampons. Anything less than that is considered scant and is not good. My periods before I started the thyroid medicine were quite light, barely enough to still be normal. Now they're back to normal, about medium-light. So if yours are too light, don't delay a gp visit.

I have bought the FRER, trying not to test will be a challenge. I have cramps so maybe AF is on the way? I know if I test she'll arrive twenty minutes later, the wench.

They are ridiculously expensive. Felt like telling the cashier I won't be able to afford the baby if I keep buying these yokes!!! 😂😂😂

Although if I did get good news I've no idea what I would do with the 50 IC ovulation tests I have in my bathroom cabinet.

Still feeling nauseous, I felt like that yesterday even when I had no hope of pregnancy so I know it's not in my head. It might just be a virus though.

@DuchessofPemberley if you get the good news, you just pee on all those ovulation tests at once as a celebration. 😂

@KatBeCool the spotting over these could of days has definitely not been heavy enough to fill 1 tampon. I will see if it becomes heavier other the weekend and if not I will get an appointment booked. I know I have had spotting before but this one just seems different.

@BabySquid good luck for when you do your test FX.

@DuchessofPemberley I agree just pee on them all and see what happens haha, FX.

@DuchessofPemberley

ARG! I can't bear the wait! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

@DuchessofPemberley eeeek!! I have a good feeling for you!!

@DuchessofPemberley I don’t know much about temping but that definitely sounds promising!! Test test test!!!

@DuchessofPemberley deffo get testing, sounds very positive ☺️☺️

@KitteKath a valentines special would be just perfect, here’s hoping 🤞🏻

I think I have made myself feel exhausted with this whole 'will I' or 'Wont I' come on my AF proper....I need a nap. Roll on my big fat curry tonight and a cheeky few glasses of vino. Good luck to anyone testing this weekend. Anyone else joining in on the alcohol side x

@DayDreamer1707 I'm dying for a cocktail!! Going out for tea tonight too. I think I'm pretty much out aren't I. Will one strawberry daiquiri do any harm
