I'm on CD25 AF due 2nd July, potentially no ovulation this month or my body just refuses to budge on temp 😩

If anyone else would like to join please do xx

@SmileyT omg, that's such a random temp drop, unless you're ovulating today and that's your OV temp dip!? I see what you mean about your temp rises from CD11 that you'd mentioned. Your RHR is still rising though which interesting. I think you're definitely covered anyway if you don't manage to DTD today. Your data on FF is something to behold, so good! 👌 Xx

@VP91x yeah my RHR normally drops to lowest point around CB peak and then rises to AF again so will be interesting to see what happens with that (like last months chart below). I was also thinking it was maybe a temp drop for ovulation and the high temp yesterday could've been because I was drinking but it's just a waiting game now 🙄 As I had August in my head of when I thought would be reasonable to get pregnant by I'll probably follow you down the tests route if nothing happens by then. What's the plans for today? x

Left test today, right one from Thursday.

Aaargh! Why does it turn it round when it posts?Top today, bottom on Thursday.

Good morning ☺️

@ejb86 what a lovely developing line! You must be thrilled.

@Quail15 I hope you can maybe make arrangements to move your slot too, so you can just relax today instead. I guess it might be a nice distraction too but depends if you feel up to it

@mrsssk it looks as though the temperature is going to be a little lower which will help you out. Last night was much more bearable!

@SmileyT I hope you get a nice rise tonight. They always say not to take one data point as anything definitive, though we all do! Bloody well done on your reverse phychology trick. Got him hook, line and sinker there!

@VP91x at least if it is AF it’ll help with your tests. It just all seems so crazy that AF would turn up so soon. How was your temp again? Still low?

So used last test I had this morning a CB digital and still negative. So that’s that then, guess will just wait for AF to arrive. CD35.

@VP91x good luck with the testing, hope it all goes ok. X

@Ejb86 nice developing line, congrats! X

@SmileyT that is soo interesting. Your charts are great. Yeah the drinking could have affected it. Have you noticed that before? I'm sure you'll get a clearer picture tomorrow 🤞

I will give you all the rundown on how these tests go so you can decide if you want to ahead. I won't be able to TTC this month I'm having the procedure apparently from what I have read, so next month is out too. Which is okay as at least I'll be getting results. Going to use the time to see if I can shift some weight get a bit healthier. No plans at the moment today, I have like 6 washloads to do, will probably head to a couple of shops. How about you?

@Ejb86 you must be so happy, massive congratulations hun, ❤️❤️ how are you feeling xx

@MichT4 I know, its CD28 so not too mental if it is early now I suppose. I must have had low progestoge or something? Not sure if thats the right terminology. That maybe has caused all the spotting and no ovulation.
Yeah temp still low, faint OPK, and more of a bleed when I wiped. How are you today how is your chart looking? Xx

@Wishingfornumber2 ah I'm sorry it was a negative its so crap when that shows up. Hopefully your nee cycle comes quickly so you can try again. How are you? Xx

@VP91x it must be quite nice in a way to have a reason not to TTC. Gives you that break without you feeling like you’re wasting it as you’re getting important results. Definitely be interested to hear how it goes. By the time you’re done I’ll definitely be thinking about getting some tests I think, so a review will be perfecto!
Here are a couple of my charts, don’t know why you need both. Small temp dip last night, which could be because it wasn’t raging hot last night. Will see what happens. Keep dreading seeing it start to come down but also expecting it to at some point.

Yeah CD28 would actually be a nice length cycle. I guess all will become clear soon, and then you have the tests to look forward to.

@Wishingfornumber2 sorry for the negative, it’s disheartening to see. Sending hugs

@MichT4 that's only a teeney insignificant drop, its still really high. I think it looks really good!! Fingers crossed all stay high. Temp drop would only be a worry if it went below coverline so don't stress!

Yeah, it's nice to have the pressure off now for a few weeks! Xx

Thanks @VP91x, will just keep positive and I guess I’ll know in the next week what’s gone on.

It’s raining here and it’s quite nice. Need to go shipping really but I’m not feeling a queue in the rain. So perhaps it’s a cosy day in with some take aways instead. Currently watching Hercules in my pjs, what a life I lead 😂

Thanks all for your replies about femometer. I will start taking temp tomorrow to get used to using it and to get my average temp. I hope everyone has a nice Saturday, it’s raining where I am and I’m actually quite thankful for the heat dropping a bit! My day will probably consist of housework and maybe some shopping - v exciting! Our bodies are so complex... looking at everyone’s temperature messages it all looks so confusing to me 😂 I hope you all get the drops/rises as you want and need (hopefully I will have the hang of it in a couple of weeks).

@Ejb86 you must be thrilled, congrats again! Hope you are feeling well xx

@Ejb86 lovely to see your line progressing... will you be getting an early scan? xx

@MichT4 yeah I'm trying not to worry at the end of the day worrying isn't going to change the outcome. My cycles are pretty regular so expect I will have ovulated today, yesterday or not at all and will probably not know for sure even if I look at 9apps 10 times a day 🤣 Your temp change is just a slight variation I wouldn't worry about that x

@VP91x I think Thursday I drank the most I have done this year but don't normally notice a temp shift after a glass of wine 🤷🏾‍♀️ I've also got washing on my list but instead just woke up from a nap, I'm like a toddler wake up super early and then need to nap after a few hours 😂

@Wishingfornumber2 hope AF arrives soon for you or a surprise late BFP x

@Northernsoul90 I think once you get the hang of temping it can be really useful but also just something else to scrutinise 😂

Thanks @SmileyT it’s so good to be able to get all of your eyes and ears on the case. Makes this all much less stressful (for me and OH 😂)
I’m busy googling different things and it just doesn’t help. Don’t know why I bother. There’s a google answer for every situation which should tell me that I basically won’t know anything until AF comes or doesn’t, still can’t help looking!
So what’s your favourite of the 9 apps? 😂

Nap sounds great! I love a daytime nap!

@Northernsoul90 it does take a while to get used to it. I’ve also read your first month might be a little hit and miss, but once you have enough data it should be clearer.

@SmileyT I loooove a nap 😂 normally I would take the opportunity when little one is napping but she has been refusing them lately randomly 😩

Ended up going to Clarks to get her feet measured and some new shoes as she goes back to Nursery on Wednesday. It was surprisingly quiet.

I've done one load of washing and given up 😂 I'm sure it would have made a difference if you had a fair bit. Tomorrow you will be in your tww hopefully 🤞xx

Thanks everyone, we are very happy.

@VP91x just tired. Struggle to stay up much past 8.30 on an evening. I'm ready for a nap now if I'm honest.

@SmileyT I contacted my consultant's office. She was my consultant with the twins. She offered me an early scan when we got their post mortem results, so I'm just waiting to hear a date. Won't be for at least another 2 weeks though. Xx

Congratulations @Ejb86 that's a lovely line progression ☺️ Wishing you a smooth and healthy pregnancy 🤞 May I please ask-did you feel any ovulation pains this month when you got pregnant? I always think (even when I've had a nice positive opk) that if i don't feel ovulation pain that it just didn't happen. Wonder if anybody else thinks that 🤷‍♀️

Thanks @VP91x, @MichT4 & @SmileyT. Say every month that I won’t get my hopes up and then I do. Have had a couple of dreams recently that I have done a test and it’s positive which hasn’t helped! Last hope I’m clinging to is that I did ovulate late and so not far along enough for positive to show. I was guessing I was about 15/16 DPO. I ran out of CB test sticks and wasn’t temping so didn’t actually see a peak but might’ve not ovulated at all. Only thing is I was having cramps last week as if AF was going to start and now they have gone and still no AF. So much guessing work! X

@Eli2020 I've never felt an ovulation pain in my life! I've felt implantation in 2 of my 3 pregnancies, I think, but never implantation.

Thanks for the response @Ejb86 have a good day 🌷

@Ejb86 you’ve felt implantation?

Hi ladies I hope you don't mind me joining. I had a chemical pregnancy in May and then another miscarriage last weekend at 6 weeks, on our 1 year wedding anniversary 😔

I was wondering if it's safe to try again this month? Or should I wait until I have another period?

I hate that I don't think I can feel excitement at a BFP now just worry.

Hey @fafi
Welcome, and sorry to hear about your losses.

You are fine to start TTC straight away once the bleeding stops, whenever you feel ready to try. The only reason they advise you to wait is to date another pregnancy, unless the specifically tell you a reason you should.

Hoping you get your bfp really soon, and that you can get as excited as before. It’s hard to imagine being so excited but it will still be amazing, no matter what xx

Hi @fafi I'm so sorry to hear about your loss and that it happened on your anniversary. Echoing what @MichT4 said, fine to start trying again but you should probably try and track ovulation if possible.

I hope it's 3rd time lucky for you. It's really rubbish no matter how far along you are.

Hope all the other ladies are having a nice weekend so far too x

I just did a lot of catching up again lol!! I’m going to be so much better in a few days!! I have the last of my class school reports to write, aaaaand I will have finished the garden (stage 1 - which involved a shed load of weeding and laying turf, and digging the boarders out!)

@VP91x that’s great that they have managed to get you in so quickly - those test all sound really comprehensive and a reasonable price!! I’m on 5th cycle post mc now - but think I might do something similar if no luck next month! I’ll be into the 6th cycle then and I think at 36 they say to look into things after 6months? Or have I made that up - I do that often!! Oo also - you’d be proud - I have started the grapefruit juice, and I have grown to accept it!! I wouldn’t go as far to say I like like it - but I can drink it and not shudder now! Did you find it worked pretty quickly?

@Ejb86 congratulations! Very exciting news!!

@MichT4 are you in your ttw? How’s it going?

@SmileyT the things we have to do in the ttc journey 😂 I can’t tell my oh I’m near a peak - he gets stage fright!!

I’m going rogue this month! Decided I’m not going to opk - just dtd from cd12 until ovulation - then might do one the day after for luck - as that’s when we got pg last time! I reckon his swimmers and my uterus had a falling out so only play nice for a few hours!!

@MichT4 yes. I'm certain of it when I got pregnant with my little boy. I literally had to breathe through the pain in the middle of the supermarket!

With the twins I didn't really pay any attention as we had dtd once and we weren't particularly TTC.

This time I had some pains which would have been around the right time. I did wonder to myself if that was what it was.
