Ah @SmileyT I am sorry that you had a BFN 😔
AF is due in the next couple of days isnt it? Xx

Oh no @SmileyT sorry you got a bfn was it a Frer you used? Xx

TinaTurtle · 14/05/2020 18:20

Hi @SmileyT, thank you for sharing a great perspective on things. Your point about our bodies preparing even if our minds are more negative is fab. And if/when I get my BFN I am going to channel your attitude! I'm sure that sort of positivity will help you get your dream come true. I absolutely certainly hope so.

SmileyT · 14/05/2020 18:26

@VP91x yep I reckon I'll come on Saturday night/ Sunday.

@HE88 No I didn't have any FRERs just used the femometer hcg tests that came with my lh test but I'm 12dpo (and pretty certain with ovulation) so I'm taking that as my answer 😊

@TinaTurtle ahh thanks I actually read how our bodies are and it actually made me feel better that my body is trying even if my head is out for a couple days.

Sending you all baby dust, G&T and working moms on Netflix for me ❤️

VP91x · 14/05/2020 18:31

@SmileyT I love your attitude towards all of it and you're completely right. Our bodies would be trying just as much as we want them too! They aren't against us.

My partner said to me today "life happens" we didnt need you to conceive Bella (our daughter) or with our second. You don't need to convince yourself that you can get PG again because it will happen.

So I feel positive again now. Thank you ❤️

On a separate note I have been meaning to watch Working Moms!!

Xx

Ah ok @SmileyT I love how positive you are being about it all 😁 enjoy your g&t and watching Netflix. Xx

SmileyT · 14/05/2020 19:18

@VP91x @HE88

Honestly I was feeling positive and trying to see the bigger picture then I fell down the bloody stairs and burst into tears and couldn't stop 🙈🙈🙈 I'm blaming the shock but definitely a bit of sadness too.

But back to being positive and working moms is great, if anyone hasn't seen it and wants some light relief please indulge.

Also I love the name Bella, my fave girls name we have picked out has Isabella as a middle name 🥰🥰🥰

HE88 · 14/05/2020 19:22

Aw no @SmileyT I hope you didn't hurt yourself sending a virtual hug 🤗. Xx

VP91x · 14/05/2020 19:26

Oh @SmileyT I really hope you're okay sending you a big hug.

If it isn't this month, it will be soon.

Thank you she is called Isabella Rosa but always Bella for short xx

@SmileyT I hope you're ok!! What a shame ❤️ working mom's is so good though, isn't it? Such an easy watch!

Dipsy77 · 14/05/2020 19:41

@smileyt hope your ok I'm sure the gin will help.
I had wine last night but AF has been really heavy today it's.knocked me out so no drinking for me tonight. I can't afford an AVA at the min but DP bought me a Fitbit bless him I can link it to ovia and I'll be looking at my heart rate on it. Currently in bed feeling drained but positive for my new cycle Smile

Hayleylou89 · 14/05/2020 21:05

@Rainbowhope11 Im good actually im only 2dpo and just trying to keep myself occupied, works hectic which is good it keeps my mind occupied x

mumoftwobeauts · 14/05/2020 21:31

@Hayleylou89 I'm 2dpo too. Good luck!

SmileyT · 14/05/2020 21:48

@VP91x @peonyrose87 @Dipsy77

I'm all good thanks guys, 2 gins has knocked me out after a week off 🙈 the most annoying thing just happened in working moms, somebody got handed an opk, smiley face straight away and 9months later baby 😂😂

Ooh I didn't know that you could link Fitbit to Ovia I'm definitely doing that. @Dipsy77

And love that name @VP91x xx

Rainbowhope11 · 15/05/2020 04:56

Aw I'm sorry @SmileyT ❤️ hope you're okay!

Haha I know exactly where you are in working moms!! I was so annoyed by that too 🙄😂 hubby and I were like, really???!! It's such a great show though, so hilarious!

VP91x · 15/05/2020 05:22

@SmileyT I hope you enjoyed the gin ❤️
Oh haha, how annoying!! Need to watch it for sure.

Hope everyone is okay. I think I'm even more confused this morning. Took my temp realised I had my mouth open a bit so re took it almost straight away and there was quite a big difference (my actual body didn't move at all). I then re done my temp two further times because I was so confused which all came out similar. What temp do you think I should count!? I was thinking 36.42?

It makes a big difference to my chart and if it is the higher temp I'm wondering if I ovulated yesterday and my OPKs just never picked up my surge!? Xx

@Rainbowhope11 yeah it is so funny I'm loving it, probably finish it at the weekend tbh 😂

@VP91x what were the temps when you took them?

VP91x · 15/05/2020 05:28

@SmileyT sorry not sure if you can see the pic I attached so:

05:04 - 36.26
05:07 - 34.42
05:11 - 34.43
05:13 - 34.41

Just done another now, again not moved.
05:22 - 34.42 so I'm tempted to say the 34.42 is accurate!? Xx

OP posts:
SmileyT · 15/05/2020 05:38

@VP91x sorry definitely didn't scroll across on your pics, but yeah I'd probably go with 36.42 aswell, seems to be the most consistent figure for this morning xx

VP91x · 15/05/2020 05:41

@SmileyT weird isnt it, yeah I think I will stick to the 34.42. Do you think I may have ovulated then or am I still within the realms of possibly about to? Xx

OP posts:
Hayleylou89 · 15/05/2020 08:00

@VP91x Id take the same reading as the right one but do be careful because it def would have jumped up with it being ur second temp of the day.. mine done it this morning cos i think i temped too early before my 2 hour window and it was 36.57 then when i temped when i woke up later it was 36.88 so im just using the lower temp as it does make quite a big diff doing it numerous times xx still keep doing ur opks if u can incase u do see a surge today x x

Hayleylou89 · 15/05/2020 08:06

@VP91x

To me it makes not much difference as i know im in the tww and both temps are above the coverline even though ones alot higher but for you it kinda determines if uv already ovulated or not so id just keep testing and dtd until u know you have had a def temp rise 🙏

Bellabubble · 15/05/2020 08:10

@vp91x - I had a strange situation this month where my temp rose like it would post ovulation and I hadn’t had LH surge yet, then the next day I got my LH surge/peak (I think I’m right in saying you can’t ovulate without the LH surge so it definitely wasn’t an ovulation rise). I’d maybe keep doing your opks just in case? There can be so many things that can affect the BBT, but if you do the opks for another couple of dsys it might give you a clearer picture ovulation wise?

Meomeomeo · 15/05/2020 08:19

Adding myself here if you guys don’t mind.
Early April I had a CP, we weren’t trying but weren’t preventing either so we started to ttc.
Fast forward to last week, 10dpo I got faint positive on IC, 11dpo on frer and CBD 1-2 weeks. We were happy. Unfortunately yesterday 18dpo, frer got fainter and I noticed some very light spotting (squint to see) and by the afternoon CBD was negative, followed by more obvious spotting. We’re absolutely devastated.
I’m expecting my period today or this weekend but if it doesn’t come. Do I wait till AF to arrive or is there a possibility that I could o 2 weeks from now or anytime and if timing is right I could get pregnant without having a period in between?

VP91x · 15/05/2020 08:20

Sorry girls just realised I wrote all the temps wrong.

Not 34.42 etc they were all meant to be within the 36 range but you probably figured that out.

@Hayleylou89 yeah, I only re took it again because I realised I had my mouth open. They were all within minutes of each other so that's why I got confused. I suppose tomorrow's temperature will answer my question.

@Bellabubble yeah, just odd! Will do a couple more tests today and then see what my temp does tomorrow 🤔 xx
