@MrsTwentySeven @paintfairy @Anon87 @notetaker

Hey @paintfairy and @Juno231
Sorry to hear AF is here @Juno231 :(
I'm testing on a cheapie every single day of course!
This evening (CD12) - I can see the hint of a line on a cheapie but this could TOTALLY be an evap line as it is barely there....so I am trying my best not to get hopes up :( AF due Friday

@Juno231 I find temping so exciting i struggle to sleep. 🙄 This morning it was up a bit though so I do think I've already ovulated. Time will tell. It's definitely mega useful though and I know before af comes that it will, because of my temp.

@MrsTwentyEight I thought it saw a line on a cheapie once. Terrified me. 🤣 But i think it was just a dent. Good luck!

Can you see it ? I think I have fully lost the plot!!

@paintfairy ha well I've fallen out of love with temping over night! I'm pretty sure I had AF yesterday but my temp went back up today so now I'm a bit confused.

@MrsTwentyEight I think I can see it!! 🎉 Woop congratulations!! What cycle is this for you?

@Juno231 oh Juno don’t tell me that! That’s really sweet of you but now I have hope 😂 Thank you though! Cycle 3 technically and I’m def not counting this one as anything but a light trick as of yet! I’ll keep you guys posted though! My husband made me throw it in the bin as I kept wandering outside to take a look at it in the light 😂

I wish I knew more about charts to help you :/ How long are your cycles generally ? I totally understand your need to get this all checked out. The waiting is a torture. I hope now that Covid numbers are falling , services will resume. Which cycle is this for you? Don’t lose faith!

@MrsTwentyEight haha what a cruel thing for him to make you throw it away 😂 fingers crossed the line progresses nicely!

My cycles are more 27/28 days but vary from 23-30. This is cycle 7 for me.

@paintfairy I remember you struggling to temp because of sleep already back in Feb - didn't realise you were still waking up at night because of it!

@Juno231 my temp was odd this month and went back up early on, after af started. It didn't come back low until cd5. Then it stayed low.

@MrsTwentyEight try again tomorrow?

As suspected ladies - light trickery
Nothing there this morning 😂

@MrsTwentyEight I can usually see a dent on them which looks like a line. But there's no pink colour. Once it did actually look like there was more than that though, but it was still questionable. Did get a little excited but the next day- nothing.

My temp is higher today so definitely ovulated at some point. Dreaded wait begins.

Yeah I think mine was evap as there’s a colour but very faint sigh onto next cycle
Good luck on your 2WW!

@MrsTwentyEight darn our line eyes! You're not out until AF shows up at least 🤞

@paintfairy got my fingers crossed for you too 🤞. May your TWW go swiftly!

Just had my day 3 bloods done at the gp so will be interesting to see what comes out of it.

@MrsTwentyEight when is AF due? And no you aren't out yet. Frustrating though!

@Juno231 Good luck. I had mine done last year and they were ok. Hopefully yours will be too. No idea what that means mind as you never actually see them.

Odd things happening for me today. My temp was 36.74 so I'm assuming definitely ovulated. Yesterday it was 36.50. The day before I missed so I've no idea if I ovulated that day or the day before that. Possibly that day. Anyway- although I usually bleed in my LP its either 2 days before AF (if lucky) or anything up to a week before. However I noticed a tiny about of brown spotting last night mixed with cm. And today I've now got red? Just when you think you have a pattern? 🙄🤣 I would personally say spotting at this point can no way be linked to low progesterone? (which is what you assume it is towards the end). I have had ovulation spotting in the past mind, but then it being today doesn't fit with my temps either? All good fun! 🤣

@paintfairy could also be ovulation spotting? I agree that it seems an odd time to be progesterone related! Have you DTD today/yday at all?

@Juno231 could be. It's just about 2 days late. Lol. We last dtd Tuesday morning.

@paintfairy it can def be 1-2 days later but I think I'd expect it to be brown at that point and not bright red? I'd just pretend it didn't happen lol as it makes zero sense!

@Juno231 I've got slight back ache too. I think often there's never an answer. I'll just pretend it's not there. 🤣

@paintfairy ha my lower back is killing me this morning! and I'm CD3 but still not below the coverline so I'm with you on the no answers :D

Aaaand AF is here today exactly on 14DPO
I’ll just take it as a good thing that I can feel OV pains and hopefully did OV on that Friday I felt it
Have to move on 😀
July bus for an April miracle it is 🤞🏾
Good luck ladies!

@MrsTwentyEight oh no! Frustrating. But yes it's good it's predictable. Fingers crossed for you for the next bus.

My temp is still up. But still bleeding on and off? Maybe it is the cervical erosion? It's annoying whatever it is. And why it's happening this early, I've no idea. I'm coming back as a man next time! 🤣

@MrsTwentyEight ah that sucks! think that was an evap then maybe? I'm hoping for an April miracle too for the both of us xx (not you paintfairy, you still have a shot for March I think??)

@paintfairy I hear you - my temp shot up to 36.7 today so is still nowhere near my cover line of 36.4 and I'm CD4 now! Definitely coming back as a man next time...

@Juno231 that's what mine did earlier this month? Went up day 4. Then day 5 it dropped again. I did a cheap test to just be sure as well. It's like your body wants to tease you. 🙄 Have you done a test?

@paintfairy haha I shit you not, AF is in da house! Which means whatever I had earlier in the week was heavy spotting technically? Ffs. So CD1 again and it means my blood test yesterday was probably useless 🙊.

@Juno231 🤣🤣🤣 Shouldn't laugh. But you have to because it's so ridiculous. I get spotting that's more like bleeding but I always know when it's AF because I get bad cramps just before it begins on day 1. And it lasts most the day.

@paintfairy see I get cramps sometimes, sometimes not. And it was light but most of mine are light anyway (today's seems medium though!). Plus today's means it's 2-3 days late which I wouldn't have expected either. Ah what a troll. Left a note at the GPs basically going oops, now what.

What a faff. Not best pleased with having to start over either, CD4 was already starting to feel like progression lol.

Any plans for the weekend to keep your mind off this TTC crap?

@Juno231 I guess I'm lucky with the cramps. Otherwise I wouldn't have a clue.
And no, i know what you mean, you feel like you go in circles. Even a few days back just seems to be a huge thing.

No massive plans really. Hoping to get some garden bits done, if it finally doesn't rain! I always seem to have 100 things to do though, so I'm at least distracted mostly. The days just tick by. I just hate never knowing anything and having no control so I think that's the hardest part?
