The July 19ers - All aboard the rollercoaster for a 3rd lucky thread

[Frazzlerock]

@betty sorry it was negative but as you know.....that doesn't mean anything at this stage!
@kinsters skiing is brutal! Hope you are having fun. When do you go home?
@pegase happy half term!

Morning everyone,

Worst night sleep ever as DH had the fantastic idea to feed an 8 month old puppy leftover Chinese at 9pm... cue an entire night of D&V from him 🤢

@BettySwoll0cks you've lost it 🤪 I'm sorry it was a negative but you don't need me to tell you that means nothing right now.
Ps. Happy Birthday 🎉 what have you got planned for today?

@Kinsters so glad you're having fun! How have you found Val d'Isere?

@Rose68 have a fab weekend, hope you manage to get some bding in! I have an old moisturiser pot too to use.

@Frazzlerock how are things ok with you & DP now?

@rather oh gosh is your dog ok? I guess your DH won't do that again 😬

So for my birthday, I peed on a CB digi (bfn), the rest of the day looks like a bit of Paw Patrol with DS in our pj's and then a dog walk before some friends come over for coffee at 11. Then off to the coast this arvo to see my Uncle and family for dinner. 😊

FRERs just arrived in the mail, will do one of those later. If that's bfn too then I'm set going to enjoy a glass of champagne tonight and just conclude that it's a mystery why I feel so nauseous all the time.

Happy birthday Betty!
FX for the FRER but loving your plan B xx

FRER is literally the whitest thing I've ever seen in my life 🤣 champers it is!! Have a good day everyone x

Happy birthday Betty... my bfp didn’t show till day AF was due so there is still time hun... I’m sure a cheeky champers wouldn’t hurt though.

Happy birthday @Betty!!
Crappy news re BFN but you seem to be taking it well. I hope you have a lovely day with your DH and little boy xx

@rather things are much better thank you. Though there is one thing bothering me about something DP said about me fucking the boys and his lives up, then told me I have taken that comment too personally 🤔 he literally said those words. I've got them written as a text so I'm not imagining things, But I'm trying to just let it slide, otherwise he'll kick off again.

DP is taking DS2 to football this morning then both boys are off to their dad's for the rest of the weekend. For the first time in ages we've not planned anything so we are doing sweet FA all weekend.
DP suggested we go looking at wedding party venues but I said no! We are doing NOTHING!!

12DPO now and just want Tuesday to hurry up now as I just wanna put this cycle behind me now.

Good news, my mum is going to pay for acupuncture! I said to her for my 40th in June I don't want anything apart from a baby that lives and she can't get me that but she could help, so she agreed to give me my pressie early and I've booked my first session for two weeks time!

Thought this was very 'us'.....

Yes @tigsy!

Yes it's fine by me this month @frazzle, I'm highly suspicious of my chart! Great idea for a present, I was just reading about the Chinese medical way to read BBT on your chart and it looks as though acupuncture (as well as diet and some exercises) can really help. 👍

Sounds like a lovely day @BettySwoll0cks hope it's been nice 🎉
Sorry about your bfns though, I hope it's not put a dampener on your day...

Lucky you @Frazzlerock that's very kind of your mum 😘 hope you've had a nice day chilling.

Yesssss @tigsyboo 👏🏼

I'm still not able to go out competing due to the equine flu so have just got back from a 3hr trek all through the woods with my horse. We are both shattered now but it was really nice (& therapeutic too!).

@Frazzlerock @Rose68 I use the CB digital OPKs that show high fertility (flashing smiley) before peak fertility (static smiley). The static smiley means ov will happen within 48 hours. If you get 9 days of flashing/high then it's unlikely you'll get peak so possible not ov that month. I normally get a flashing smiley on CD14. CD15 was the latest day I'd got one.

Thankfully I did get my static smiley on Thursday night before I went to bed so been BD'ing as much as possible.

@Betty HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sorry you got a BFN but you're not out until AF shows. It could still be too early to test. Hope you have had a lovely day x

Yes @tigsy!

@rather that sounds like a lovely afternoon.

Had a big temp drop this morning after a couple of tease days.
I knew it was hopeless and had thought I had made peace with it but I guess there's no pretending that deep down we always have that tiny weeny minuscule bit of hope.
I'm going for a run this morning with DP.
First run I'll have done since before I was pregnant last time so fuck know how I'll do.

@Rose I know you have said before that running isn't great for TTC but do you know why? I'd like to get back into it now the weather is better but I don't want to jeopardise my already shit chances of conceiving.

@tigsy I'll be buying a load of pink grapefruit juice today. How are you getting on with your TWW? I know you're only a day or two behind me...

Right, I'm going to go ad keep myself occupied else I'll burst into tears.
Now, where's my running gear....

Hey frazzle
I fucking hate running 😂
I'm a bit bunged up this morning, just feel I'll as such just a bit of a cold.... don't know if that's why I've had a massive temp spike this morning?? No symptoms it could be anything positive so just putting it down to that anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️

Should read - 'don't feel Ill as such - just a bit of a cold'

Just done my temp again (still in bed but been awake and talking, on phone etc for 2 hours) and temp dropped to 36.65?!?! Wondering if 37.1 was a dud temp??

@tigsy I don't know how reliable basal body temps are tbh. That's why I use Ovusense as it takes core body temp recordings every 5 minutes throughout the night.

Don't you have to go with the temp as you wake up for BBT? Not take it minutes or hours later?

I'm back from my run and burst into tears in the shower.
This whole thing is a sack of shit quite frankly

How can I try and bring ovulation forward?
I don't think I can bear to wait another 4 weeks to ovulate 😢

Happy birthday for yesterday Betty!

@Frazzle I’m not sure about the running thing, I assumed it’s because it puts your body under a fair amount of stress. I am slowly going to get back into it now too.

I weighed myself yesterday, I knew I had put on weight, but I wasn’t prepared for having put on 5 pounds! I am quite short so that is a lot of weight to put on. It doesn’t make any sense with the healthy diet, I’m wondering if it’s one of the supplements I’m taking. 😩

@tigsyboo I thought you did it as soon as you woke up - that looks like a really positive sign to me. How many dpo are you?

Hugs @Frazzlerock that's really shit. No idea how to bring forward ovulation either 😕 sorry I can't be more helpful x

I know exactly what you mean @Rose68, I'm only little too so even 2-3 pounds extra on me makes me feel huge.

Perhaps it is one of the supplements?

I'm 10 dpo

You do do it as soon as you wake up, but it looked so high I thought I'd try again and it had dropped significantly. Perhaps I was tossing and turning with my cold and didn't realise?

I know on my pregnancy cycle I had implantation bleeding that showed it's self after sex on what must have been 9-10dpo ( I didn't know it was that at the time- I thought I was coming on early)
DTD this morning and no bleeding at all so I don't think this is my month x

Thanks for the birthday wishes ladies! Had a v nice day, thank you. Cake x2 and a glass of delicious champagne and some lovely family time.

AF started this morning. A bit early and a bit watery which is weird (and probably tmi, sorry) but it's the start of a new cycle which always gives me a renewed positivity (weirdly). I'm considering Ovusense myself now because my BBTs can't be trusted (lack of a decent stretch of sleep in this house). Is it v pricey?

@Betty yes it is pricey.
It is £79 for the device and first month subscription, but there is ALWAYS a 20%off code. I got 20% off then an bit of extra money off thing with the Honey Chrome extension.

I now pay the £20 a month which I know is pricey but I trust it more than bbt. I think bbt can be jeopardised by so many outside factors such as, is your mouth shut the whole time, making sure you take it at the same time, lying there with a thermometer in your mouth without any disturbances, etc.
Ovusense isn't affected by anything. So long as you have had four hours sleep. You can even take it out and not sync for up to two hours. Also doesn't have to be taken at the same time every day. So if you have a lie in at the weekend, or wake silly early, it doesn't matter.
I think the price is worth it. You can make it cheaper by paying outright for an annual subscription if you prefer. But I didn't like to think I'd need it for a year. But it's looking like I might do so almost thinking I should have done that to start with.

Oh well, just ordered one. Add another £65 to the fortune I've already spent on ttc!
