@Beau2020x thank you cheeky little doggie 😂😂 did make laugh tho sorry

@Beau20 hahaha that crazy dog of yours!! 😂😂😂 my sister has a cat like that. She was making a bacon sandwich, turned around to get some sauce and he nicked the bacon right out the sandwich and scoffed the lot 😂 I was on FaceTime to her the other night actually and he nicked a piece of garlic bread right off her plate hahahaha!

Maybe he was just trying to take your mind off things 🙃 animals have a funny way of knowing things like that xxx

Well ladies we were so excited to see that VVFL ! But it didn’t last. next day non existent and today my temp dropped and I got my period. I got to relive the feeling of being pregnant for one day. Everything we do is worth it! Don’t give up ! I’m being gentle with myself and not thing everything over and over. There’s already next month!

@Morganmom sorry hun x be kind to yourself x
Morning ladies x how are we all this morning? x @Beau20 how are you? Are you still spotting or has it turned into af? It’s 7DPO for me today and getting to FRER territory 😂 I will order some today for delivery tomorrow but will try to hold off testing with them as long as I can. I’ll use cheapies to satisfy my POAS addiction. I woke up with terrible backache which I don’t usually get until day before af and my boobs are hurting but that’s not unusual even week before af. I think progesterone peaks between 6-8 DPO so that’s probably what’s causing it x slight stitch pain above hipbone as well but that can be anything x plenty of CM but I don’t really know what’s normal for me anymore 😂 let’s see what happens in the next few days x

Right so my mind has just gone into overdrive. Because I feel quite wet I'm wearing a panty liner. I have just gone to the loo and there was some yellow tinged CM on it with a sesame seed size speck of orange. I have check inside and more yellow tinged CM...I mean it is tinged not yellow like a wee lol x First thing of course I googled it and what comes up first is : This is because the tint of yellow signals that there is some new or old blood in the mucus. The yellow tint can also come from implantation bleeding in early pregnancy, which can also cause similar symptoms.
Please tell me I'm crazy and looking too much into it and giving myself hope yet again which is going to go crashing down when af arrives :(!

Hey ladies! All good here. All moved in and just busy sorting out all the stuff that goes with moving house.

No idea this time when I ovulated as not been testing but I would guess it was friday or saturday. I'm not hopeful this time round as been so distracted but maybe that means I will be??

@Fredthespider I am so sorry. Words won't be able to make you feel better but I hope you know we are all here to support you.

How is everyone else getting on?

@katie1109 😂 bless you! Well I don't know what to say but I won't say you're being crazy!! I would be thinking the same but what I will say is even though its hard try not to focus on the symptoms so much so early just because it can be pregnancy or progesterone! I don't want you to be upset or get your hopes up honestly 🤞🤗 so I say yes it sounds promising!! But just try to wait it out a little longer and test xx

Apparently from my FF I'm 3dpo as I got crosshairs on Saturday. I had loads of ovary pain yesterday but other than that nothing.

@Symptomspotter86 hey!! How's the new house? I think I ovulated on Saturday too so we are close or the same! Fingers crossed for you xx

@Ellsbells112 thanks hun x yes lets just stay sane and blame progesterone x I think is natural to have hopes but I'll try to keep it to minimum.
@Symptomspotter86 hi there! how is your new home? x Welcome to TWW madness! x hopefully it will all fall in together for you and you're get a bfp to celebrate your new home x

@Ellsbells112 and @Symptomspotter86 I think O Day for me was Friday/Saturday so I'm around the same point as well 😁

@katie1109 definitely I have hope every cycle I think we all do! But I try to block I out early on just because it makes it so much harder. Come 10dpo though and I'm a hopeful lunatic trust me!! Hahaha xx

@lv1987 yayyyy cycle buddies x

Facebook and their adverts are doing my head in 😤😤 seriously it’s difficult enough not to think about TTC without stupid ads being thrown in our faces 🤣

@katie1109 😂😂😂 ahhhh there is a new show on Netflix called babies!!, of course I sat looking star struck haha my OH said, you can watch that in your own time love 😂😂

@Ellsbells112 I stay away from watching any kind of baby/pregnancy related programmes 😂 just makes me worse.
On a funny note, my OH texted me: you period must be due next week, where are we on duffometer this week? 😂😂 I’m absolutely in stitches 😂 I said if we take 5/10 as usual rating because 50/50 chance then I’d say probably 5.5/10 purely because my resting heart rate has plummeted today. To which he replied, whatever you just tried to imply makes no sense to me but I’ll take anything over 5/10 😂

@Ellsbells112 yayyyyy indeed! I had no idea when any of my dates were last month, so this will be my first month actually knowing that I'm in the TWW. Quite excited!!

Love the Duffometer reading, but what's the lower resting heart rate significance? I've got my fitbit on so I want to check mine out now 😅

@LV1987 there is a theory that resting heart rate dips day before ovulation and then dips for implantation and keeps climbing up and if you’re pregnant it will stay high, but if your af arrives then it drops back down again x don’t take my word for it, it’s a theory apparently resting heart rate follows bbt pattern x

Ha, how interesting is that! I dipped on Thursday by 6 bpm looking at my app, then had EWCM on Friday... Maybe I actually learned something this month, or maybe it is just something else for me to obsess over 😂🤔

@Morganmom so so sorry to hear about your chemical lovely xxx

@Katie1109 @LV1987 yep this is a similar theory that I have heard. Basically around conception/implantation your resting heart rate will go up from 2-20 BPM and then remain elevated if you are pregnant. It must be true as mine always goes up in TWW and I had a significant drop last night, from 66bpm to 52bpm and AF full flow today. My usual resting rate is usually around 54-56bpm.

@Beau20 hi there! I was thinking about you today x sorry af has arrived in full glory today x how are you feeling? I hope you're not in pain or anything x

Im usually at about 65bpm, Thurs I dropped to 59, then back at 65 for the last couple of days. I only stuck my fitbit back on as my stepson bought one with his bday money and wanted to outstep me 😂

My rhr has dropped by 7bpm today in comparison to its usual TWW level yesterday x I have checked my last cycle and there is no such drop until the day of af, so I'm sort of hoping it means something x I have ordered my FRER's and they will arrive tomorrow/. I'll probably start doing cheapies tomorrow too because I cannot just sit and wait lol x I think deep inside I know its not going to happen, do if it does I'll have a nice surprise x

Went to the doctors today and finally getting the ball rolling with some tests. Feels like a huge weight has been lifted as at least I can find out if there is anything wrong. Blood tests next month now I just have to convince my partner to give a sample too. Hope everything is going well so far with your tests @Ellsbells112 x

Have just been reading posts as not had a chance to be on here @Morganmom so sorry for what you have been going through this month this TTC business is heartbreaking sometimes gets our hopes up and knocks them straight back down again. @fredthespider I have been in the same place as you this time last year and no one knows what it is like until to happens to them. Take time for yourself and let yourself be sad together. I don't think I'm over it even now and I don't think I will be until I finally have another baby hopefully. Take care of yourself x

@Beau2020x @Katie1109 @lv1987 WELL my heart rate is normally 60bpm and right now it's 76bpm but I did just finish gym 20 mins ago?? Who knows but I wouldn't have implanted yet anyhow!

@Beau2020x hope you're okay? Xxx

@Danni2019 good for you! Glad they have started taking it seriously. Nope haven't got anywhere yet, my blood test and OH test is OK Friday at the same time lol so next week we will have the easy answers and depending on those depends on what happens after. I just want my tubes checked but I bet there's a long waiting list

@ellsbells112 hahaha nooo it's your resting heart rate not current. So if you go on your fitbit app that will tell you your resting (mostly measured during the night when you are truly resting.

@Katie1109 thanks for checking in! I'm feeling a bit shit, hardly got any cramping today an AF is only medium ish flow. I've been reading loads on mumsnet about shirt luteal phase (which I have) and there's loads of mentions of clomid. Actually almost bought it online and then was like nononoooo. I'm booked in to the doctors next tuesday. I know they'll do nothing after 6 months but I'm sick of this shit. It's not like my cycles are getting any better, luteal phase is at its same shitty 9-10 days for the last 6 cycles, it's had long enough to short itself out now. I'm not tracking a single thing this month. I'm away with work in predicted FW anyway so no point!

@Danni2019 how long have you been trying for now?
