@ValidUser - I might be totally getting it wrong (with my limited knowledge of triggers, etc) but if you exclude a couple of anomalies, there’s a definite shift between the avg temp range pre 17th to post 17th? :)

ValidUser · 08/07/2019 16:20

@ELW85 it's just that I normally (and even with trigger last month) have a beautiful clear chart that rises like clockwork - only weird thing is temp stays high during AF.

And shift shouldn't have happened until about day 19. Not losing sleep, but not exactly terribly optimistic surfer!

Either, not surfer

ValidUser · 08/07/2019 16:23

And you may be totally right but I'm not sure what I'm seeing!

ELW85 · 08/07/2019 16:28

@ValidUser - ah I see! Happy for us to be optimistic surfers too though :)
Sorry I didn’t really help much - I’d be reserved too if it was me, but I’m keeping the faith for you! X

ValidUser · 08/07/2019 16:39

@ELW85 all input is helpful. Thank you, my fellow optimistic surfer. X

@ELW85 that’s so annoying about the car, why would someone be so rude and inconsiderate?!

@LokiCat I will remain quietly optimistic that’s it’s a good sign 🤗 will you be holding out to test? There’s nothing worse than varnish or gloss in your hair 🙈

@ValidUser I know nothing about temping I’m afraid so can’t offer any advice but I am keeping everything crossed for you!

Got home from work and went for a nosy in the garden! Delighted to see that our memorial rose has 2 tiny little buds on it! Know I’m being silly but taking it as a really good sign ❤️

LokiCat · 08/07/2019 19:32

@ELW85 glad they've offered you options! I'm assuming a full valet should sort it out - I wouldn't be able to wait 14 weeks 😂 What option are you going to go for?

@ValidUser staying optimistically surfer for you as well!! 🤞🏽❤️

@Lozzlepop ah that's so lovely to read about your memorial rose. It sounds like a great sign ❤️
I'm going to try and hold out till Sunday We're going to my parents' for a BBQ, so will be nice to share good news with them. If I have no symptoms whatsoever, though, I'll probably just wait to see if AF shows!

Imjustme2019 · 08/07/2019 20:12

Hey ladies, just checking in.

@ValidUser I'm the same I sometimes miss a couple of days, but it does look like quite a shift.

@Anny27 I think we're the same cycle wise I'm CD8 too

Anny27 · 08/07/2019 21:46

@Imjustme2019 nice to have someone with a similar cycle :D you can bring me back to earth when i have the urge to test at 2dpo haha 🤣

ELW85 · 08/07/2019 21:58

@ValidUser - happy to help at all matey, and you’ve got an entire squad of surfers here for whenever you need us x

@Lozzlepop @LokiCat - I’m going for the full valet. 14 weeks is ridiculous and I’m sure a good scrubbing will sort it!

@LokiCat - a family BBQ sounds awesome!! Funnily enough my brother and his OH just invited us to one next month - I’d love some good news to give them too :)
How are you doing symptoms wise? I had v minor crampy feelings today and more CM than I would usually have (sorry!) but it’s just made me a bit concerned that AF may be en route and far too early than is healthy/expected.

@Lozzlepop - your rose buds sound beautiful and I would take comfort in that :) and if it’s a girl...call her poppy (haha!)

I hope everyone is having a wonderful evening!

LokiCat · 09/07/2019 07:05

@ELW85 hopefully the valet should be enough to sort it out!
I've been feeling slightly queasy the last two mornings, also had a lot of creamy cm yesterday (don't worry about tmi on here, we share it all 😂). I still think I'm only queasy because I'm hungry though! The feeling subsides once I've eaten.
Apart from that, nothing else really! I'm trying to record all symptoms during my LP every cycle - when I previously had my bfp I didn't record anything, so can't compare 🤦🏻‍♀️
How many dpo are you? Could the slight cramps possibly be implantation?

Hope you all have a great day! It's quite grey and muggy here unfortunately!

Anny27 · 09/07/2019 07:50

@LokiCat i'm also trying to record my "symptoms" each month. Its kinda funny looking back at the stuff i noticed last month - turns out i wasnt pregnant, just very spotty, bloated, hungry and moody haha!

Ladies who use OPKs - when you get a positive does that mean you have ovulated or are about to ovulate?

ELW85 · 09/07/2019 08:27

@LokiCat - I think your symptoms are very encouraging!
I’m 5 DPO today so you never know! I had the weirdest dream last night about being getting a BFP which I know means nothing, but I can’t decide if it was upsetting or comforting.
Sigh! Roll on Sunday for us all :)

It’s rainy and grey here, so clearly gearing everyone up for a positive day in the office 😂

@Anny27 - a positive OPK means Ov is imminent, between the next 12-36 hours. I usually think of it as within the next 24 hours from my positive OPK.

PippaPug · 09/07/2019 09:07

Wow!! So many congratulations for everyone!

@MrsEG - so exciting that it’s twins! So happy for you!

@Pinksunset1- Congratulations! I hope you have a healthy 9 months :)

@Lozzlepop - Congratulations to you! So exciting!

Looks like there is something in the water right now!

Lozzlepop · 09/07/2019 09:26

@LokiCat thats what I was thinking, as silly as it may be it gave me hope! A family BBQ sounds fab, lets hope the weather improves!

@ELW85 I hope the valet sorts it out, 14 weeks is a ridiculous amount of time to have to wait! Thanks, I really am taking it as a good sign, also woke up feeling super sick last night, I would happily take all of the sickness 😂

@LokiCat these symptoms are sounding good to me as was pretty similar to what I was experiencing 👌🏻its deffo good to track all of your symptoms!

@Anny27 you will get a +OPK prior to OV which usually takes place 12-36 hours after, I usually do an OPK the day after to see if it is reducing and you should be able to pinpoint what day you OV on.

@PippaPug thanks lovely, it has been a lucky thread recently and I know that theres a few due to test this weekend so hopefully some more BFPs in there!

We are moving out of our office so we have to tidy it today 😒not really how I feel like spending my day, especially as we have nowhere to properly go lol! Hope you have a fantastic Tuesday ladies!

MrsH497 · 09/07/2019 10:11

Morning ladies is it really only Tuesday?! Only 4dpo maybe 5 apps seem to have no clue when I'm due on but I'm trying desperately to not symptom spot or compare to when I was pregnant x

PippaPug · 09/07/2019 12:23

My period is now 6 days late Hmm and I have period signs and had them all week but no period - I really didn’t want it over the wedding 😬😬

Mrskcam · 09/07/2019 12:49

@PippaPug have you tested!?

Anny27 · 09/07/2019 12:51

@Lozzlepop @ELW85 thanks for your help:)

@MrsH497 ahhh its so hard not to symptom spot! I am already dreading this cycles TWW as it is just all encompassing and i cant seem to concentrate on anything :/ hoping you can distract yourself :)

@pippaPug have you tested?

PippaPug · 09/07/2019 13:02

@Mrskcam and @anny27 - I tested on Wednesday and it was negative, and that was 2 weeks since I ovulated so I’m assuming if I was pregnant it would of showed up by then (it wasn’t FMU however)

Lozzlepop · 09/07/2019 13:05

@PippaPug I would test again, maybe you OV later than you thought?

Mrskcam · 09/07/2019 13:07

@PippaPug test again, you might have ov'd later than you thought or had a slower rise in hcg which some ladies don't get their bfp till several weeks in, in fact my cousin was 12 weeks pregnant before she found out!

Anny27 · 09/07/2019 13:09

@PippaPug yeah test again in the morning! Fingers crossed for you :D

ValidUser · 09/07/2019 13:24

So temp dropped further than I've ever seen it today. Body is clearly messing with me (or Ava is malfunctioning). 😂
