Hello! I am 4dpo and already starting to look for preggo signs.. i know i know!..
This cycle I had again tender breasts during/after ovulation, but today at 4dpo I noticed that they are not that “full” anymore (I confess it left me a bit worried!).
Okp positive on 31st Oct and ovulation on 1st Nov. Temperature raised on 2nd Nov and kept high (had a small drop but today even higher than before). All good (I think??) but the breasts don’t seem tender anymore (Although progesterone levels seems good). It is the first month I am checking temperature. We are trying to conceive since July/August. September had a chemical pregnancy.
Whomever is out there in the same boat - please share your symptoms! Also, if anyone had experience with losing breast symptoms after ovulation.. please share your experience! Thanks!

@justmumming1 we are left for this cycle! Anyone else?? 😍
I am in the day 13 of my cycle and will ovulate in 3 days, as per the calculation and according with the last 3months. Let's see... you are 3rd day of your cycle? Or 3dpo?

@Elsatam that's all I'm hoping for... I won't go to the Dr until I can get a positive on a digital coz that will guarantee that I get a positive with their tests... but even the test I used isn't an early detecter (10miu) the one I used is 25mui... so hopefully I'll get a better BFP soon :) will definitely keep you posted xx*

Aggie53 · 28/11/2019 10:01

@ElsaTam thank you for asking im feeling totally fine , actually its scary i dont feel anything any more ..no sore breast they dont even feel full, no symptoms at all not even cramps any more !!! im not overly worried but i do take test every morning ..to check if im still pregnant ! i have a doctor visit on the 7th Dec so hopefully all will be still ok ! my last pregnancy which ended up in miscarriage i had all the symptoms ..very sick every morning so lets see!!

So ladies.. I guess I missed the timing this cycle. I guess on the next we cab try (January), we will go back to do it everyday.
I think I might have ovulated yesterday 28Nov (was expecting tomorrow 30Nov according to last 3months!). We have made a pause on the 25th and 27th, means that the day before ovulation we did nothing, only on the ovulation day (yesterday), but it was already late at night. This morning 29Nov, my temperature raised to 36.6 (which is the same as last month's temp after ovulation).
I know what you will say about sperm lives up to 5days, but I am truly feeling like an idio and feeling I have missed it big time :(
It can still be a mistake, I did not have a good night sleep.. but I doubt to be honest, because it happened before and temps were ok for the phase i was. I am also not sick. So.. guess it happened earlier this month :( and I have made a pausa just to try a different approach this cycle, but it backfired I really don't see how the ones from the 26th could have arrived there after more than 24h being released... oh well 🤷‍♀️ nothing to do now!
I have got some info from a friend to make ivf in my own country, so this way we don't have to take holidays both of us etc.. i can just go there and start the process, it's a very good one and I dismissed it in the beginning because spain has the best rates. I think I will make an appointment to start the analysis. Do you think my eggs won't have quality due to my age (41)? I have no idea, but a bit afraid of that..
thank you ladies for reading me! I wrote too much!!! ❤️

@rhirhibumblebee aw at least the midwife went well how far along are you now? Are you going to book an early scan or wait?
Yes I'm feeling good tired but apart from that not to bad. Got midwife in December now so I think it will be a bit more really then!!
@ElsaTam just stay positive and relax. I'm hoping your lucky soon. Your never out until AF arrives! You seem such a strong person and I have my fingers crossed for you

ElsaTam · 30/11/2019 02:02

@NewUsername0123 thank u sweetie! ❤️

Aggie53 · 30/11/2019 08:32

@ElsaTam hun I know you can’t sleep because of anxiety ! look I don’t want to give you false hopes .. but I was similar to you with my cycle ( although I did not take my temp ) We did early on the cycle and not every day let’s say we did on the 4 th 6 th nothing for 2 DAYS !! And then according to my ap on the ovulation day 9 th !! Well I don’t no if my app calculated ovulation day correctly because I always felt like I ovulated earlier and if that was a true I also could miss my day ! You never know dear it’s sometimes just happen ! Maybe one of your OH swimmer get lazy and takes him ages to get and that works or he sits there and wait for you egg ☺️🤗 I really hope for you to happen .. let’s see if AF arrive ❤️ ( no no no )

rhirhibumblebee · 30/11/2019 11:47

@NewUsername0123 Not having a good time. Started spotting again last few days. At first just brown when I wiped but today has turned to dark red when I wipe and seems a lot now. I'm feeling really sad as I have some mild cramping too. We are on our way out for a lovely family day and I don't want to spoil it so trying to forget about it. I dread every time I go to the loo! Ive put a pad on too. I'm 6 weeks tomorrow so I'm hoping EPU will see me this week although I feel it won't be good news 😓😓

Aggie53 · 30/11/2019 12:51

@rhirhibumblebee ! I hope everything will be ok sometimes spotting happens ! I send you loads of love ❤️

ElsaTam · 30/11/2019 14:08

@Aggie53 thank you, really big Thanks from my heart! You are so right! Actually the day prior to the ovulation is not bad at all, being on the ovulation day only, can be tricky because you might just miss it at night for example. And thinking about last cycle: we did it everyday and nothing... maybe my brain just doesn't want to get hopes. We really can't control our cycles and expect to ovulate in a specific day just because last 3cycles was like that! Totally unpredictable. Let's see if little swimmers were strong enough to wait and reach the egg :) to be honest. I will not be thinking too much. But this cycle went so fast, I just looked at the calendar and thought oh wow 3dpo :)
What I am happy about is that I am sure I OVULATE! The temos really get higher. My body is working just fine!, just i guess i ovulated a bit too early (13 cycle day).. but all good! No stress, life is how it should be ❤️ lots of love and wishing you and your baby all the best

@rhirhibumblebee oh dear! I understand.. so hard :((( did you think about checking your blood to check to see the levels? Don't know how it is (here they don't do it, but I can go to a clinic on my own). I know other countries they do and heard for then it is important to see how much the hcg level is "doubling" etc.. just an idea. But I know in UK the system is quite difficult.
Please try to enjoy your family time this weekend, I know it's hard said than done, but stress won't help as well.. ❤️ sending you love and strength ❤️

Thank you, I'm bleeding quite heavy now. Such a shame !

ElsaTam · 01/12/2019 09:17

@rhirhibumblebee how do you feel today? Did it get any better??

OP posts:
rhirhibumblebee · 01/12/2019 09:59

@ElsaTam Thank you. How are you??
I'm so confused, the bleeding stopped completely at 6pm and I've had nothing since! Small bit of brown spotting this morning. There was so much yesterday but only when I went to the loo, nothing on a pad. So I really don't know whats happening. Can't wait for a scan, I hope they see me quick - I'll call tomorrow!

Aggie53 · 01/12/2019 11:20

@rhirhibumblebee I really hope you are feeling better today ! I totally understand that you stressed but please try not to I know easier said than done ! Can you go private ? If that an option for you in your country maybe it’s an good idea ! But if you can’t just stay strong and believe it will ok ! I hope and believe with you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Aggie53 · 01/12/2019 11:22

@ElsaTam that’s the spirit my dear 🤗❤️ Roll on Sunday .. it will be what it will be ... wrap yourself in love dear !!! Xx keeping my finger crossed 🤞

ElsaTam · 01/12/2019 21:11

@rhirhibumblebee I agree with @Aggie53 ! If you could go private, just for your peace of mind... (but if you are in UK I know it's very difficult). There are some people who spot a lot during pregnancy... try to remain calm ❤️ thinking of you ❤️

ElsaTam · 01/12/2019 21:17

And I am ok ladies! :) not much hopes neither too pessimistic.. it's just the way it is, for now at least!

NewUsername0123 · 02/12/2019 08:09

@rhirhibumblebee aw I hope you can get it sorted today nothing worse then your mind going crazy. I hope you will be ok!

I have been spotting and bleeding for a couple of days and it's been confirmed I've miscarried. I've read so much about it being normal but thought I'd better get checked last week and glad I did. Everything happens for a reason. Hope you are all ok!!

rhirhibumblebee · 02/12/2019 08:19

@NewUsername0123 Oh I'm sorry to hear that! Can't believe this has happened to both of us! Lots of love to you!
I'm waiting for the midwives to answer the phones but I know for sure I have miscarried too. I had my 12 week scan letter through so everything is really hard this time.
Did you have a scan to confirm? I just want to it all be over now and done. 😓.

rhirhibumblebee · 02/12/2019 08:20

@Aggie53 @ElsaTam Thank you! Hopefully find out today how long I'll have to wait to confirm 😓. How are you two?
