@Marleym28 yeah congratulations! So happy for you ☺️

Marleym28 · 02/06/2019 12:44

Thank you. I feel like it's a trick or something. AF due wed so think it'll seem more real then.

If im honest I'm a bit scared :/

That was cycle 4, fingers crossed and will keep you all posted over the next couple of days.

If you don't mind me hanging on ?

@cupcakesandglitter ah they are gorgeous!! I love how he is guarding the house!

@MrsEG he is gorgeous too! Love the pet pictures! I swear my pooch has helped me so much with everything in the last year. A canine cuddle makes everything better!
This is my loopy dog.

Afternoon!

Just saying hi! Haven't checked in as haven't had anything interesting to say!!!
I didn't realise I was cd10 already 🙃... I'm due to ovulate cd12 (usually around then - will take an OPK later to see what's going on) and I haven't even DTD yet - OH has been unwell so didn't want to add to his woes 😂

Will jump him later 😇😇

Have a lovely Sunday!

Fivebyfive2 · 02/06/2019 13:27

Oh heaven, so many perfect pets!! We went to pets at home to re stock on bits for our cat and there were so many people with puppies, it was too cute! I had a look at the ratties too, because I'm a bit weird and have a soft spot for the rats!

@Validuser, I'm keeping everything crossed for you now you've had the triggers!! Xxx

@MrsH497, really good to hear you and dh are doing well xxx

Marleym28, congratulations!! What a line 🎉😃

MrsEG · 02/06/2019 14:35

@FlapJackered Your pooch is dreamy!! I so agree - our boy has gotten me through some horrible times the past year, nothing beats a dog snuggle on the sofa - I can see why they prescribe therapy dogs!!

@cupcakesandglitter LOVE the pic of your cat with face shoved through the blinds 😂 Keeping watch!

Must be something in the air today - DH and I also DTD for the first time post-MC too. Happened out of nowhere! I’ve been a bit reluctant as for once I actually don’t want to get preggo this month haha, but I’m sure once won’t hurt - fairly certain I ovulated a few days ago too based on CM so should be okay. Was just nice to do it for fun for a change!!

dahlia123 · 02/06/2019 15:10

@MrsEG Spice Girls were great! Had so much fun. Not from Manchester but have lots of friends there. It's so good to DTD without a mission in mind!

Lots of fun to be had then @MrsH497

Congratulations @Marleym28 - great to see such a good line

ELW85 · 02/06/2019 15:11

@Marleym28 - congratulations!! Here’s to a happy and healthy 9 months for you :)

Just looking for more eyes on this. (The Fahrenheit is because it shows wider variation.)

Triggered on Thursday. I know the hormones probably messed with my temperature anyway (making my pre ovulation temperature possibly a bit higher) but I'm guessing I ovulated late Friday.

Consensus?

Dip was Thursday btw

OP posts:
ValidUser · 02/06/2019 16:51

Actually based on this alone, I'd have ovulated late Thursday/early Friday, but that was too soon after trigger.

Probably can't really rely on it at the minute!

OP posts:
ELW85 · 02/06/2019 17:00

@ValidUser - I would have said O on Thursday based on that, but as you say it may be too early based on trigger day.
Are you taking your temp consistently?

Sorry, I know you’re a doctor and I’m sure you know all this, so I’m trying to be helpful not patronising! :)

ValidUser · 02/06/2019 17:04

Not patronised at all @ELW85! 😊

Apparently with a trigger, everyone ovulates between 24 and 48 hours. Most ovulate at about 36. For me, that would have been Friday night.

The dip could be a false dip from stopping the other hormones.

Or I could have ovulated on Thursday night (unlikely but not impossible!). We had sex on Wednesday night and Friday morning and night and Saturday eve, so should have caught it!

Thanks @FlapJackered !! Annoyingly it's the girl - my little boy doesn't do anything, he's too gentle and not interested 😂 yours is so cute, look at those eyes 😭🥰

Congrats @Marleym28 xxx

Thanks @MrsEG she's a nosy Parker 😂 how nice that you DTD without timing etc, sometimes it can be really nice just to have 'normal' sex again. Did I mention it was nice? 😂😂

@ValidUser fx you caught it - I'd say if your temp keeps going up then looks like you have!!! Xx

No AF for me yet, just more cm. I entered yesterday's positive OPK into Flo and she's bumped it to ov and predicted AF will turn up on CD48 hahahahaha sobs

MrsEG · 02/06/2019 17:26

I have no idea @ValidUser (helpful I know!!) but I’d also guess Thurs or Fri, so I reckon your DTD timings sound great!

@cupcakesandglitter 😂😂 It really was nice haha!!! Oh god, I really hope for your sake you don’t have a 48 day cycle! Is it possible to Ov twice in one cycle??

cupcakesandglitter · 02/06/2019 17:32

@MrsEG 😂😂 oh god I hope not. Tbh I've not had any confirmation I did ov this month but I'm pretty sure my cm confirmed that I did over two weeks ago. I've never had a cycle that long so I'm dreading it 😭

ValidUser · 02/06/2019 17:33

@cupcakesandglitter premenstrual LH excretion is common enough - might explain it too!
