Bfp or AF due 14th feb!!

[Baba11]

so hoping this month is lucky and we Valentine's Day brings us bfp's. Using opks and hoping for a static this month as opposed to last momth which was a nightmare.
Who is with me???
Shout out to Syncope and kins00

I've never done bbt tracking, so will be interesting to see what others say

@Baba11 both are good ways to inform you of different things going on in your body - OPK is great for testing your LH surge so you know when to BD, BBT is great for letting you know you have ovulated (spike after ovulation) so I personally wouldn't use one or the other.

BBT can also show you if you're potentially pregnant - you have the implantation dip which MAY occur around 8-10dpo I think (don't quote me on that and this doesn't happen with all women) and if your temperature stays up past the 2WW that can also be a sign of pregnancy.

BBT is a tricky one for those who don't have a consistent pattern of sleep (if you wake up at different times for example if you have mixed work shifts) it can give you odd results. If you have a regular schedule then I'd say it's very very good for what I've explained above. I'm using it and finding it really interesting, so curious to see if people get an implantation dip if they're successful!

@CaramelCluster
Thanks for the reply. I think you are right is dependant in sleep patterns. As there are so many things that can cause your temp to fluctuate.

My opk picked up peak Monday evening but my temp reckons that I ovulated Sunday!

I do remember on Sunday i had less sleep so this prob affected it. It's Lanka learning curve I guess

Think I may be ovulating today.... cramps! 😭 either that or I have a ton of trapped wind 😂 how’s everyone getting on?

Same here @Gilly2505 how exciting. Just had a tonne of ewcm. We dtd last night and just asked hubby what he thinks of going tonight and tomorrow too. He may have moved out by the time I get home
From work haha xx

Sorry that you have horrid cramps and trapped wind :-(. Just try and remember it's all for a good cause xx

@BLS1983 lol
Lick the doors when he comes home don't let him out 😂

The things we do

😂😂@Baba11 he seems surprisingly keen so wish me luck haha xxx

@Baba11 it took me a couple of reads then to realise you meant lock and not “lock” 🙈

@BLS1983 hahaha!! Enjoy! let’s hope there’s some babies made tonight 😉😉 xx

Oh dam.... lick 🙄 stupid phone

Whoops I I meant lock

😂😂

Hahaha I didn't even figure it out, I was just thinking "what the..."

Was about to start licking my door! 🤷‍♀️😂...

Haha! that's so funny!!😂 it's the "the things we do bit" which made me think, oh she really does mean that.. 😳

😂😂

Predictive catches me out so much

Me too! My brain is already starting to symptom spot and I'm only 2dpo. I'm just so crampy, I'm sure it's not all in my head. This two week wait is going to drive me crazy 😐

@justsparklex I’m so crampy too again and irrationally angry at hubs today 😂 but I’m sure it’s because we are stuck inside due to the snow! Hubs went into work (he’s a groundsman.... seriously what will they do today!) with our wellies in the boot and I’m meant to be getting my new mattress delivered today!!!! Oh well the house will be clean 😂😂

Is everyone going to hold out on testing? Or going to cave and test early? Xx

I don't think il test early just symptom spot 😂

Haha I'd be angry too, it drives me mad staying inside all day! Luckily only frost here at the moment so I'm able to get out

Well I'm a poas addict🙋🏻‍♀️ way too impatient. I've bought 4 frers and 4 internet cheapies!😂 I'll deffo end up testing early... I'm going to try and wait until at least 10dpo though, although the frers do say you can test 6 days early.. that may tempt me haha

I think I will test early 🙈 I did with DS and had a positive 4/5 days before AF was due! I do have 2 FR and 2 internet cheapys 😂
I know they say you can’t get symptoms early.... but how do they know that for sure?! The body is an amazing thing... no one can truly understand it completely surely? Xx

I don't understand how some say you can't get symptoms early. Surely from the second the egg is fertilised, changes must be happening in the body and hormones must be all over.. I agree with you x

Agree
The body is a strange thing and believe when it happens body will change too
Bring on the symptoms👀
I'm not sure I've done enough tho 😔
Dtd on the day got static and day after but dh was not interested the next day. So hope that was enough.

At least you got to do it on the day you got your static, I think that gives you a very good chance I wish we could of done it on the day of my positive strip test! I feel you've got more of a chance the me, we did it 2 days before!

Fingers crossed for us both anyway 🤞🏼

I don't know if this is really weird thing to ask, but do any of you hold your legs up for a while after or is it just me? I also then go straight to sleep, if I stand up I feel like a lot of it leaks out of me.. that just me?
