@Lozzlepop - haha, best laid plans and all that!
I’m sure absolutely nothing could have spoilt that for either of you :) have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

XjustagirlX · 07/07/2019 16:56

@mrsEG wow twins! That’s amazing news.

@Lozzlepop congratulations!!!

ValidUser · 07/07/2019 18:29

9 days after hCG trigger shot. Do you think it's out of my system?

Gone after about 7 days last cycle.

@ValidUser - it definitely looks gone to me!
How long do you have to wait to test for your BFP?

ValidUser · 07/07/2019 18:40

Excellent @ELW85 - Wednesday to Friday-ish!

OP posts:
ELW85 · 07/07/2019 19:30

Not long now! I’m considering testing Friday too, and I think @LokiCat is due around the same time too :)
Everything crossed for all of us!!

ELW85 · 07/07/2019 19:31

Sorry @ValidUser - I meant to tag you in the previous post.

Pinksunset1 · 07/07/2019 22:04

I wanted to share my good news with you all

Morning ladies! 7dpo today, feeling slightly queasy (but that's probably just because I'm hungry 😂).

@Pinksunset1 Congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months 😊😊

@ELW85 ah your Sunday sounded lovely, hope you had a nice day! Shopping trip was okay, got some nice things but it was so manic! Sales make people go crazy - I walked into Zara and saw half the stuff on the floor/in a mess, so just walked back out. I can't shop like that!

@Lozzlepop I definitely think it was okay that you took yesterday off from chores :) ahh your DP's reaction, how sweet! I hope you had a lovely time celebrating yesterday 😊

@TrashKitten10 wow 22 weeks as well, how exciting! Glad you're feeling good and everything is okay. Good luck for your scan today, I hope the little one cooperates this time!
I'm okay thank you! Taking each cycle as it comes and just hoping for some positive news soon 😊

@ValidUser looks clear to me! Fingers crossed this weekend is a good one for us all!

LokiCat · 08/07/2019 07:35

Have a lovely Monday all! X

Lozzlepop · 08/07/2019 07:45

@ValidUser thank you! Trigger shot looks like it’s gone, I have everything crossed for you lovely!

@TrashKitten10 haha I know I was all flustered and in my dressing gown lol! Good luck for your scan this morning, hopefully you get confirmation that it’s team girl, what lovely news!

@ELW85 thanks hun! We had a really lovely day out yesterday, lunch and then some drinks- mocktails for me 😂 Happy new car day!!

@XjustagirlX thank you ☺️

@Pinksunset1 ahhh congratulations, wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

@LokiCat ooh the queasiness was my first symptom but kept putting it down to tiredness. When is AF due? We had such a lovely day, I think we are both just feeling slightly cautious about everything right now and don’t want to get our hopes up.

How was everyone’s weekends? I can’t believe Monday is here already!! Hope you all have a fab week!

XjustagirlX · 08/07/2019 08:06

@Pinksunset1congratulations! There seems to be lots of positives recently. Hopefully it’s contagious 😜

@ELW85 I’m also testing on Friday that will be my 9dpo.

How common is the implantation dip on bbt? I’m going to be looking out for it lol crazy on Wednesday.

ELW85 · 08/07/2019 08:22

@LokiCat - I 100% can’t shop like that either. I don’t do chaos very well 😂

Ah so that’s 4 of us testing this weekend; @LokiCat, @ValidUser @XjustagirlX! There’s got to be a few BFPs in there :)

@XjustagirlX - please don’t worry or look out for the implantation dip - it’s actually more to do with a second estrogen surge in the mid point of your luteal phase, so it’s been mostly disproved.

I’m not sure what’s going on with me, but this is the first cycle I’m feeling pretty relaxed about it all. I realise that this will do a full 180 when AF turns up in a week, but for the moment, I’m feeling strangely fine.

Have an awesome Monday everyone :)

And thank you @Lozzlepop - I’ll be doing the widow’s watch until the new car arrives, haha!

Anny27 · 08/07/2019 10:00

Wow lots of BFPs - congratulations all :D

I am only cycle day 8 (probably a week away from ovulation) so i am a long way away from AF/BFP haha

LokiCat · 08/07/2019 10:14

@Lozzlepop it probably was because I was hungry - had a Belvita soft bake and I feel better now 😂
AF is due next Monday, so just this week to get through!
I completely understand. This is a new pregnancy and hopefully everything will be fine. I have everything crossed for you :)
We spent our Sunday varnishing our balcony. I keep finding bits of brown varnish in my hair even though I washed it this morning 🤦🏻‍♀️

@XjustagirlX I was reading an article about an analysis that FF did (www.verywellfamily.com/implantation-dip-what-it-means-if-you-get-one-1960301). Out of 10,000 charts only 23% of pregnant BBT charts showed an implantation dip, compared to 75% of pregnant BBT charts which didn't.
11% of non-pregnant BBT charts also had an implantation dip..
Yet I always look out for during my LP!

@ELW85 I'm weirdly feeling relaxed this cycle as well (which is strange considering I'm CD52 today and normally my cycles range between 35-37 days). Hopefully it's a good sign!
Although, I just hope it's not the calm before the storm for when AF shows up 🙈😂

ValidUser · 08/07/2019 10:19

Congrats @Pinksunset1!

I don't think I've ovulated this cycle. I know meds can screw with bbt, but I've had no sustain rise.

Next time, hopefully!

OP posts:
Anny27 · 08/07/2019 10:31

@ValidUser ahh thats a shame! Next month hopefully xx

ELW85 · 08/07/2019 11:07

Really sorry to hear that, @ValidUser.

XjustagirlX · 08/07/2019 11:45

@LokiCat that’s interesting. I won’t get upset if I don’t see a dip then.

I am also feeling reasonably relaxed this cycle. Maybe there is something in the air.

ValidUser · 08/07/2019 12:00

@ELW85 I may be wrong. Ava thinks I did ovulate. Fertility friend is less convinced.

I also changed duvet to a lighter one, so that could have had an effect.

We'll see when AF arrives and hope the higher dose next month helps!

OP posts:
ELW85 · 08/07/2019 12:18

@ValidUser - ah well to be fair, Ava is going to be way more attuned to your body than FF (from what I understand of it), and if there are other variables like your duvet, I’d take FF with a pinch of salt :)

I hope everyone’s Monday’s are going well?

@LokiCat - car delivery wasn’t great - the driver who dropped it off had been smoking in it :(

ValidUser · 08/07/2019 12:25

@ELW85 the only thing is Ava thinks I ovulated on day of trigger shot. I know I'm confused!

Shame about the smoky vehicle...

OP posts:
LokiCat · 08/07/2019 13:27

@ELW85 oh no, how annoying! Surely that should be a complaint?? I hate the smell of smoking and would have been very pissed off! Is it worth calling the car dealership about it?

@ValidUser sorry to hear that you think you may not have ovulated. I do agree that Ava would be the one to listen to, generally.
Could it be a slow rise?

ELW85 · 08/07/2019 15:29

@LokiCat - they’ve agreed to pay £100 for it to be fully valeted, or I can reorder the car from scratch but it would take another 14 weeks (factory made)...

ValidUser · 08/07/2019 15:42

@LokiCat who knows?! Triggered on day 17. Missed a few nights... 😂
