@Cocoblue22 I know right? It's meant to be the holy grail of bra measurements but it tells me I should wear a 32 and I swear I'm already borderline too chubby for my 34!

It also does not make sense in that bra sizes are not universal but vary brand by brand so it can't just arbitrary tell me I'm a 32D when that means nothing technically 🤷‍♀️

2alreadywantanother · 30/07/2020 10:47

@juno231 1st time tracking but I'm not very good at it lol last night was the 1st uninterrupted night sleep in ages, if I wake to go toilet sometimes I cant get back to sleep. My sons diabetic so if hes high or low I end up awake for ages watching to see that he comes back into range so I'd say the broken sleeps not helping.

@Cocoblue22 @Juno231 at my work (I work with pretty much all women) nearly everyone went to have their bra size measured a while ago and nearly everyone came out that they were smaller back size and bigger cup size! But I struggle with the back size thing too because it feels too tight if I wear the ‘right size’

2alreadywantanother · 30/07/2020 10:51

Girls just on the bra thing. I use to make them.
36d and 34 dd width would be similar. So if u wear 34c but its saying 32D then the 32D may be a better fit. Hope that makes sense. That was yrs ago but I assume they would have changed that much

lucyrp · 30/07/2020 10:55

@SmileyT it stresses me out that it doesn't show it all but FF just looks very old fashioned to me and hurts my eyes 😂

@Cocoblue22 watched that already! X

Ltay2 · 30/07/2020 11:02

Here's my chart for all of you chart geeks 🤓

Amy00 · 30/07/2020 11:02

Thanks @Juno231 ! I knew you would enjoy the chart 😂 This was cycle 3.

@SmileyT are you still taking your temp? I'm in two minds at the moment as last time I saw the temp drop a couple days before I started bleeding so it was an early warning sign but could unnecessarily stress me out.

And thanks @Cocoblue22! I remember we stopped taking the pill about the same time so pleased I'm not too far behind you 😊

Quercus3 · 30/07/2020 11:03

@Ltay2 sounds really positive for you this month, looking forward to hearing about your test 🙂

@lucyrp I know what you mean about FF, really not visually appealing!

Does anyone here check their cervical position? I've been reading about it this morning as a potential early indicator of pregnancy, but don't know if it's just another thing to track that potentially won't mean anything.

Quercus3 · 30/07/2020 11:04

Also congrats @Amy00 😊 lovely news and great to see the list of things you did!

Ltay2 · 30/07/2020 11:06

@Quercus3 Thank you, I'm so nervous to test! I do occasionally check cervix position but also don't use it as surefire indicator of anything because it can change so often throughout the day! It's useful to check and get used to what you class as low medium or high though.

Catherinettc · 30/07/2020 11:06

Hi ladies ❤❤

Cd12 here so hoping ovulation is soon (not tracking etc) do feel a wee bit crampy today so think something is happening. Will need to jump dh this evening 🤣

Feeling a bit better today thankfully. My health isn't the best tbh but im still trying 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Wish i could jump the hubby whenever I felt like it but teenagers everywhere in this house who would be mortified lol u should hear them if they even see us kiss 🤣🤣

@lucyrp so glad everything is moving forward for u now :) I have everything crossed for u for a bfp 🤞 if it doesnt happen I fear u may end up in the porn Industry 🤣🤣🤣

Hope everyone else is well ❤❤

Juno231 · 30/07/2020 11:13

@Quercus3 I think lots of us check it but perhaps don't monitor it religiously. It seems to sometimes change throughout the day so needs to be taken with a pinch of salt I think.

@Ltay2 interesting that FF isn't sure when you ovulated! It's the two really high temps in your FP throwing it off. Based on your peak I'd perhaps think you ovulated on CD14/15? But based purely on temps I'd say CD16.

@2alreadywantanother ha you might struggle to get crosshairs for a while with that one! So far there's nothing to indicate ovulation but I'm looking forward to seeing your next few temps so keep us posted! How are you temping btw, your low temps look a bit abnormal (borderline hypothermia!) as if you've not taken your temperature properly? Open mouth perhaps or after having a sip of water?

Ltay2 · 30/07/2020 11:16

@Juno231 I know it's weird, FF is the only app that isn't the same. The others are all saying CD14 and FF is saying CD15. My peak static smiley was CD13 so I think either 14 or 15 are likely really.

Quercus3 · 30/07/2020 11:16

@Ltay2 @Juno231 ah I didn't know it could change throughout the day, that's really good to know. I think I'll give it a miss, just another thing for me to stress about 😅

I think you're being very restrained waiting @Ltay2, so impressed! Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Ltay2 · 30/07/2020 11:20

@Quercus3 Haha it's become a personal challenge now to not test, however can't cope with another day like today thinking 'what if' so I think I'll test with an IC in the morning when I'll be 12/13DPO and depending on what that shows then I'll order FRER for the weekend.

Newbie0818 · 30/07/2020 11:28

@Amy00 that's awesome! I only asked as I was debating taking it but decided to try inositol first as it seems to work better for women with pcos. Maybe if nothing happens I'll try Agnus later on. Hoping I won't need to though 😖

@SmileyT aww and ice queen haha. I'm usually freezing but clearly not right now!

@LaceyMermaid aww try and stay positive if you can and do things to take your mind off it. I find creative things with my hands has really helped me relax about it all this cycle.

@2alreadywantanother interesting about the bra thing! I always struggled to find a comfortable one because I'm so small on top, Victoria's Secret everyday ones are the only wired ones that seem to cup nicely. Is a 32b and a 34a similar from your experience? I tend to go for the B but have fit into the As too 🤷🏼‍♀️ all this talk of DDs has me so jealous lol!

@Quercus3 I do, but it's so unreliable as an indicator so don't know why I bother. Mine does the opposite of what it's "supposed" to do. Though it's always high, soft and open when I ovulate which IS what it's supposed to do, which helps with that. It goes low after (though it's stayed high for me this time 🤭) and usually high up again and hard when af due. It also goes high after you have sexy so make sure not to check it until way after, like hours after. I wouldn't put money on it, I got so obsessed with it every month thinking because it was high I was pregnant, but still no luck. Everyone's different though 🤷🏼‍♀️

Newbie0818 · 30/07/2020 11:29

I just had LOADS of ewcm so I'm paranoid now 😭 surely I did ovulate given my temps?! I'll do an opk after a hold to check 😖

Quercus3 · 30/07/2020 11:36

@Newbie0818 ah that's really good to know, thank you. Also fellow small on top person here, usually 34b, I just used that calculator and it said 28FF! I'll take that regardless of if it is right or not 😂

Newbie0818 · 30/07/2020 11:41

@Quercus3 haha what?!?? I could wear an FF as a hat 😂 tbh I don't mind being smaller, though I would complain if pregnancy grew them to a C 🤭

Juno231 · 30/07/2020 11:42

@Newbie0818 your chart def looks like you've ovulated. I hear that the secondary oestrogen surge can cause more ewcm so maybe that's what's happening? You're in the right timeline for an oestrogen surge now.

Newbie0818 · 30/07/2020 11:44

@Juno231 there's a second one? There's so much I still don't know about this! How come that happens?

Vil10 · 30/07/2020 11:51

@Cocoblue22 we're going to have a look but we think we might just leave it for now and do a bottomless brunch and tea and drinks out instead!

I don't understand all these charts😂

Juno231 · 30/07/2020 11:53

@Newbie0818 yes a lot of women get a secondary surge which happens during the LP. So whenever you hear about implantation dips it's actually just an oestrogen surge (oestrogen lowers your temp) and has nothing to do with implantation per se. Not sure why it happens, just seems to be a natural byproduct produced by the corpus luteum in the LP!

Quercus3 · 30/07/2020 11:57

@Newbie0818 ha same, my mum went up a size when pregnant so I'm hoping for the same! You're right though, not all bad being small 😊

popcorndiva · 30/07/2020 11:58

Hi everyone. Not sure if anyone remembers me I started the original thread in May and also been on the rhr thread. I am 12dpo today, my rhr has dropped over the past two days but still above AF line. So I assumed I was out but this morning felt so sick, and last weekend had an awful cold. So thought hey what the hell might as well try a frer it was on the SMU but 5 hour hold. Frer was a BFN but with the same wee got this on two one step cheapies. Not sure what to think ? Guessing its a waiting game to see if AF turns up
