Helloo!

MrsRLM
Cycle #1
12 DPO
BFN this morning

BBT temping for the first time.

Jessikka · 12/02/2019 14:33

Hi @MrsRLM

If you swapped your username for mine you could be writing my stats!

I'm currently on cycle 1 12dpo and first time charting 😊

MrsRLM · 12/02/2019 14:39

Hey @Jessikka!

How are you getting on with BBT? I've had a random jump in temperature this morning and I've got lots of really painful stabby cramps today. BFN this morning so I'm thinking its just AF on her way!

Jessikka · 12/02/2019 14:52

I'm definitely used to the routine now but I'm sat waiting for AF to arrive as had a BIG temp drop this morning. Until today it was still rising and then bang! Straight down!

I'm just waiting around now ready to start again! Off to the docs in half hour as have been really light headed and nauseas: what a crappy pms symptom :(

:)

AngeloMysterioso · 12/02/2019 15:01

Ladies help me
Just done another FRER (AF due Thursday) and I swear to god I can see the faintest of lines there. But unfortunately my crappy iPhone camera isn't picking it up! Any suggestions for how to get a clearer picture?

Jessikka · 12/02/2019 15:07

@AngeloMysterioso have you tried focusing the camera?

Maybe hold the phone and click the screen where you want the cam to centre?

Some women use an object to pull focus? Maybe a ring or something large for the camera to focus on?

daisiesandpeonies · 12/02/2019 15:26

@DayDreamer1707 pineapple you say? Adding that to the shopping list! I am willing to try anything at this point no mater how ridiculous
@Jessikka I have horrific anaemia since coming off the pill, a return to teenage years. I've found that eating little and often really helps and I also had an injection from the doctor which stopped all dizziness/nausea for a couple of months

daisiesandpeonies · 12/02/2019 15:38

@PinkFizz19 I know this is a late response to a post from yesterday, but just wanted to say don't turn down that promotion. I was told about a good job at another company by a friend who works there in late 2017, but because I knew we were about to start TTC in spring 2018 I didn't apply, thinking I was better off where I was for maternity. Granted, I might not have got the job, but in my particularly low moments atm I feel SO angry with myself for passing up an opportunity for something that still hasn't happened. I recently stopped myself from buying a large, family car for the same reason. Perhaps buying a silly two door sports car will make me fall pregnant 😂

DayDreamer1707 · 12/02/2019 15:43

@BabySquid oh no as if you are allergic to pineapple!!

@daisiesandpeonies Yes I don't know how it helps but to be fair they could tell us TTC ladies anything and we would all jump on it 😂 I totally get where you are coming from. Maybe if we all start to lie and pretend we don't want to get up the fluff then maybe....BANG...BABIES GALORE!!

@Jessikka hope the doctors are able to help you and you start to feel better x

@MrsRLM welcome to the TTC madness, sorry I don't temp. Hope you don't get AF but if you do least you are now able to go crazy with us x

AngeloMysterioso · 12/02/2019 16:15

Ok this was about the best I could do. It's the faintest ghost of a line ever but I'm so sure I can see it...

@AngeloMysterioso I think I see it! Your right very faint but I think it's tbere xx

MrsAW2018 · 12/02/2019 16:40

@AngeloMysterioso I think I see something too! Was this with FMU?

thumper59 · 12/02/2019 16:42

First opk was Sunday's. Second is today's. Yesterday was pretty much nothing. What's going on?? I feel like i ov'd yesterday could that be possible or not? I don't see me ovulating much later then what I am now surely?

AngeloMysterioso · 12/02/2019 16:47

It's clearer in RL than it is in the photos (but not much!)- pink dye tests don't get evap lines do they? Plus it was there straight away...
It wasn't FMU but it was the first time I had gone to the loo since about 7am (did the test at about 2pm).

MrsAW2018 · 12/02/2019 16:48

@thumper59 what CD are you now? I think today's does look slightly darker. What CD did you ovulate on last cycle?

starkid · 12/02/2019 16:48

@AngeloMysterioso - I thought I could possibly see something on the first further-away pic... Give it 2 more days :)
@thumper59 - Neither of those look close to positive at all. I think it doesn't matter if it's faint one day, nothing the next, it doesn't point towards when ovulation would be unless both are dark. What CD are you on now?

thumper59 · 12/02/2019 16:52

CD 16. Ovulated CD 15 last cycle.

Judging by my own body feelings and CM I'd of guessed I ovulated yesterday but according to these little buggers I'm never gonna ovulate- ever!

DayDreamer1707 · 12/02/2019 17:00

@AngeloMysterioso How many DPO are you? Are you able to test with FMU tomorrow?

@thumper59 I know it must be frustrating but keep going. I would say it has gone slightly darker. I found it really difficult my first month using OPKs because I had no idea when I ovulated. I used 2 a day too, must of gone through about 20. Mine are always like this then the next thing all at once really dark. Try and test in the morning if you can, I know you aren't technically meant to but can't do any harm. I've done it before and it was practically positive so I tested again later that day and was definitely positive. Everyone is different x

daisiesandpeonies · 12/02/2019 17:01

@AngeloMysterioso I think I can see a tiny faint line, give it a couple more days!

AngeloMysterioso · 12/02/2019 17:07

@DayDreamer1707 if my Clue app is right then I'm 12 DPO. I bought a FRER twin pack so can have another go in the morning.

I've got the test hidden in my glasses case on my desk- I keep opening it to have another look!

I've been pregnant before and that time I got a BFN 2 or 3 days after my period was due, although I think that was a Clearblue test. Didn't get the BFP til a week later.

granddesigns · 12/02/2019 17:16

Today's theory from me is that periods have been much lighter since coming off the pill - maybe I'm not creating a welcoming nest?! Anyone got any natural tips to add to opks, full pre conception vitamins and clean living/diet routine to improve this?! Keep adding another thing on each month - if it doesn't happen soon I'll be set up to equip a pharmacy!

KatBeCool · 12/02/2019 17:22

@BabySquid my GP ordered tests for me and that's how it came up that my TSH is high. And my vitamin D was low, not depleted, but a bit below the norm. I started the medication in September and only my last two periods were no longer super light.

@DayDreamer1707 I heard that pineapple and oranges are good during ttc because of vitamin C. Can't hurt.

@AngeloMysterioso I see a hint of a line, maybe wait for a couple of days and test again.

@Jessikka I hope you feel better soon!

thumper59 · 12/02/2019 17:23

@DayDreamer1707 yeah I'm gonna start testing in a morning, bloody things! I'm getting to the point of quitting with it all and just seeing what happens!

OhMarnie · 12/02/2019 17:35

@KatBeCool can I ask what your TSH Level was? I had some blood tests last year when my periods were taking a while to return after coming off the pill and I had a borderline TSH Level of 4.25. The doctor said there was no need to take thyroxine as it wasn’t particularly high but I understand that this would be too high for pregnancy? Anyway I got retested and it came down a little bit, then my periods came back so never really did anything about it. Wondering now though as we are TTC if I should go back to the doctors and do something about it. I never had any particular symptoms of hypothyroidism, except that my hands and feet are always FREEZING 🙈 DH get so mad when my feet touch him in bed 😂😂
