I mean maybe you did kind of pound him

More like he pounded me 👌🏼
God it was good 🥰🤪

Thank you @ Kinsters, that’s so lovely of you. x

Lol at pounding!

My temp dropped a bit today and my digital is taking so long to show a result I'm pretty sure it's going to be negative . I still feel sick though, this is so annoying - maybe I am just ill. I really hope this isn't my new normal luteal phase. Feeling nauseous for five days every cycle would suck.

Yep, "not pregnant". Ergh. Stupid body.

Oh @kinsters

Oh that is so shit Kin I am sorry

Pounding 🙈🙈

Oh @Kinsters I'm really sorry 😐 it's so cruel how our bodies trick us like this.

DH received a phone call on his way home from work last night, FIL has prostrate cancer 😢 they're unable to do a biopsy to see how advanced it is due to exactly where it is but hoping to be booked in for an op to investigate & hopefully remove in the next 4 weeks. Apparently symptoms such as getting up in the night to wee 3-4 times have been going on for over a year, so we are really worried 😢

My CB OPK is flashing smiley this morning. I'm only on CD9. Since August last year when I started using them (with a 1 month break after 2nd mc) I didn't get a flashing smiley until earliest CD10 and usually on CD11 or 12.

@rather that's really sad worrying news. I hope it can be removed.

@Kinsters

Thanks guys, I feel really down about it but wasn't that surprised because realistically I knew my nausea etc. couldn't be pregnancy related after I'd got the first negative digital when I was feeling so ill. Oh well, maybe next month... if AF ever shows her ugly face.

InDreamland my cycle lengths have been a bit all over the place since MC. I'd keep dtd as much as possible just in case you ovulate early (maybe every 2nd day as I think the advice is if there are know sperm issues).

rather oh no, you must all be so worried. I know it's not the most helpful thing to say but there's nothing you can do except wait and try not to worry yourselves in the meantime. Prostate cancer is usually slow growing and survival rates are really, really good so try not to worry too much if you can.

Thanks @Kinsters I hope so. Just another thing to worry about 🙈

@InDreamland I think it's normal for cycles to be completely all over the shop. Just keep dtd xxx

Ps @Kinsters how many days late are you now?

@Kinsters I’m so sorry, it’s crap how our bodies can play tricks on us. I have had left shoulder pain for the last few days, O’m sure it feels like the shoulder pain I had when I was pregnant. I think that’s why I got my hopes up. x

@Rather I’m so sorry about FiL, we have been through it in the last couple of years and it’s shit. I really hope your FIL will be okay. x

rather yep, more worry and more waiting...

I expected to start bleeding on Monday so if it doesn't start today then I'm three days late. Or is it four? I don't know how you count it.

@rather I'm so sorry to hear about your FIL, hoping for the best for you all

@kin that sucks, hope AF comes soon so you can move on into a new cycle

Don't know what my body is up to. Was hoping for a nice temp rise, it's proper dragging its heels...

@Kinsters, was there some doubt over when you ovulated? If you did ovulate a few days later than your chart suggests that could explain the lack of AF so far. x

DH has been out the past 2 nights so we haven't DTD since Monday. I think next month I'll make sure we keep going every day until I can confirm Ov 🤔

Mine is like that Betty, takes ages to get going and makes it really hard to interpret where O day is. With my pregnancy cycle I had a flat temp of 36.5 from days 1-4 post ovulation, it only stared rising at 5dpo.

Rose this is my chart today, my temp rise is slow and my pre o temps were unusually high this cycle so it's hard to see the pattern. I think O could possibly be at 5dpo on my chart cause that's where temp starts increasing. But generally opks have been accurate for me so I really don't know.

Oh yes @kin that's interesting, yours sits just above the cover line for a few days too. I thought it was meant to be pretty immediate because of the progesterone surge. I wonder if that's indicative of something... that'll give me something to Google/ worry about later!!

Fertility friend says there's no correlation between pregnancy and immediate post o temperatures but you're right and it is a bit worrying that there isn't that immediate temp rise. Like I said, I had the same with my pregnancy chart (though pre o temps were lower). Not sure whether that means it was doomed from the start or whether it means immediate post o temps don't mean much! It's all so confusing.

Oh @rather that is a worry

Oh no @ratherbeshowjumping I'm sorry
I'm sure it will be something treatable. FX

Charting blows my teeny little brains!! Lol
I don't know what any of it means and especially this month where I've had such disturbed sleep and random get up times.

@BettySwoll0cks I had a really slow rise last cycle. (1st pic)
This cycle is a quick rise (2nd pic) I've no idea what any of it means!

Stupid pics didn't attach
