@MichT4 oh balls! Is this two days now since your pos OPK? So annoying. Yeah, definitely worth doing a daily OPK at least to see what is going on. Dont feel silly, if we don't keep some hope or positivity then we would just be a mess. Mine are arriving tomorrow I think..

I'm okay! Just dropped Bells to nursery and now I'm lying in bed with a cuppa and listening to a podcast xx

@SmileyT indian sounds so yum! I'm going to Dishoom on the 8th Aug and I can't bloody wait xx

@Mommybear05 happy birthday!

@MichT4 what makes you think you haven’t ovulated again? I think I remember seeing u just a got a peak that hit 100? Is ur temps not showing it? I ask because I only got 80 % for my peak and that was enough for ovulation so could be that you have?

@VP91x the positive was on Sunday 🙄 so I don't really know what's going on. 3 peaks so far. The good thing is if I get another it should show as I have now had a few in a lower range.

How lovely being in bed with a cuppa. Any plans today?

I love dishoom, the black daal is delicious! Mouth is watering at the thought.

@SmileyT nice dinner and early night sounds perfect. I'm sure the Caribbean will be fine, will hold off on booking but will start considering options. Because we aren't married (yet, hopefully) we were talking about having a honeymoon ish holiday because if we were lucky enough to get pg again and it be successful, then we probably wouldn't be able to have the same honeymoon as we would have before kids. So we want to treat ourselves 🥰

xx

@2020wish yeah I had a peak of 100 on sunday but my temperatures are still really low, so it looks like I haven't actually ovulated after that 😢

@MichT4 how annoying. :( how was ovulation before ur mc? Was it always mucking about or spot on ? I really feel for those that this is happening too. Our bodies need to get with the memo

@2020wish I only started tracking it the last month when I got pg. I have long cycles so I guess that suggests I might not have ovulated yet, just seems strange to have so many peaks. I'll keep with it I suppose. Yes it would be good if my body kept up with my wishes 😂
How are you? xx

@MichT4 well hopefully it decides to pop an egg soon! At least it’s trying I suppose

I’m grand. I got my 3+ at 19dpo so I’m feeling a bit more settled. Just counting down the days to my scan next week.. next week will be around the time I miscarried one of the pregnancies so just trying to stay hopefully and I’m been mostly resting up and not over exerting myself

@2020wish everyone loves a trier!

Ahh that's lovely. I'm glad you're feeling settled. Not long to go now until your scan and hopefully getting past that point will reassure you that this is your time now! Enjoy every moment xx

@VP91x dishoom sounds amazing, I last went in Jan pre Covid and feels like a lifetime ago. The lamb biryani was my fave @MichT4 mixed with the black daal. Salivating at the thought!

@Mommybear05 Happy birthday lovely!

@2020wish your scan has come round so quick! Hopefully the next week flies by

I started temping last week and feel I've finally got the hang on it. What sort of rise would indicate ovulation? I had a few days below 36deg c and now lots of days above 36deg c, but no change in CM. I'll attach my chart in a bit after a team zoom call.
Hoping my scan tomorrow can show if I've ovulated or not either way though

@MrsK21 yes attach your chart! I love looking at them 😂 normally pre temps are lower and then you'll have a spike of about 0.3 degrees and they will stay high or even get progressively higher until AF where they will drop or if your PG stay high.

I literally can't wait and they have lovely cocktails 🥰

@MichT4 so frustrating must be hormones still settling. You have the patience of a saint 😩. I'm out of bed now, going to sand down some more doors and regret it as soon as I've started.. xx

I agree @MrsK21 - attach your chart!

@VP91x not sure about that. I'm trying really hard to stay positive but it is becoming a struggle.
I'm currently on a Zoom Board Meeting...zzzzzzz xx

@MichT4 thank you
@MrsK21 hahah it’s felt the opposite for me lol dragging in lol but yes upload ur chart. I was never good at tracking cm so I always just depended on temping or opks. It’s good tho that u will get more answers tomorrow

@MichT4 what CD are you potentially on? Yuck, Zoom. Xx

@VP91x CD18 if CD1 is the heavier bleeding, plus 7 if spotting is CD1. My apps all had me ovulating this coming weekend before OPK gate, so maybe that will happen

Hate zoom xx

@MichT4 ahh okay so still in line where you would normally ovulate? Come on little egg make an appearance!! Xx

@VP91x yes come on little but perfectly formed 🤞🏻🤞🏻 egg!!
Still in line for normal timing, just of course with those OPKs I was hoping I'd been lucky. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as I ovulate at some point. Hopefully means it's growing to perfection before it pops 🤞🏻 xx

Finally off my team zoom where a grand total of 1 person did all the talking. Hate meetings like that.

I've attached my chart, for some reason fertility friend decided to cut off a days worth of temps 🤷🏽‍♀️ so also attached Ovia (quite liking the Ovia app, really simple to use).
Caveat is I've only been temping for just over a week but taking what @VP91x said about pre and post increase I think I can already see a distinct difference.
Unfortunately CM isn't quite matching up and been of the sticky variety rather than fertile types. I'd just be happy if I've ovulated and not too fussed about missing the fertile window this (extremely long) cycle xxx

@MrsK21 ah its so difficult without seeing a proper pattern beforehand but if anything I would have said you ovulated Day 2 on that chart, but considering it hasn't aligned with any CM or other signs, it's impossible to say for sure.

The other possibility is that ovulated Day 6 and just have a very slow rise 🤔 xx

@MrsK21 I think that could well suggest ovulated - they say if 3 temps are higher than the previous 6 it suggests ovu. Fingers crossed for you! xx

I was thinking could have been day 4.....gah, I don't know. As you have sensed I'm certainly no temping/chart expert. Listen to @VP91x 😂

@2020wish When is your scan?

Thanks for taking a look @VP91x @MichT4 I agree and think the lack of more of a pattern beforehand is what makes it hard to work out when / if ovulation happened. Luckily I have my long awaited scan tomorrow, so I'll ask the sonographer to check for a corpus luteum (I think it's called) which would indicate a follicle has burst and released an egg

Sanding doors is so tough! I did 11 doors when we moved house, lost sensation in my hand the first day using a sander. How is it going? Do you have a lot of renovating to do?

@michT4 sorry if you mentioned, how long were your cycles pre MC? Did your CM changes line up with any of the positive OPKs? Hopefully OPKs decide to behave themselves from now so you get a clearer picture soon. How is work going for you today? x

@MrsK21pre MC they were anywhere between 35-38 days. I felt as though the were coming down in length after stopping the pill in Nov, but then after MC1, they were thrown out again. The last month, when I got PG again was on course to be about 41 days, I think because of the failed attempt and then delayed ovulation.
I only OPK'd from last month, but I did have EWCM alongside my positive OPK (the second one at least, looks like my tracking with the first was sub-par!). I had watery CM with all 3 of my peaks this month, but no temp rise. It seemed to dry up and my CP was super high after, so everything suggested ovu except my temps.
I do hope they start to behave. As I said, I just want to ovulate and be in with a chance - there's no need for it to happen quickly, it's just frustrating to have all the signs.

Work is OK - just finished up on the board meeting. The are fairly pointless at the moment as it's quite obvious why business isn't quite as we were expecting, but it gets a job done. I am going to bake a banana cake today, keep me distracted from my need to pee when I plan to hold until 1. Ahh!

How are you? xx

@MrsK21 sorry it was probably more confusing 😂 yes, definitely ask them!

Yeah so much to do 😭 eventually the kitchen will need to be retiled. It's a hideous fully tiled kitchen from the 70s or something. With random fruit tiles 🤔 xx

@VP91x beautiful tiles, you should keep them, and hang all your OPK decorations alongside.

Exciting project though! Moving into a new house is lovely, and I have bad vision when it comes to a project, but it is something I'd love to do!

Oh and important news today is that I'm finally getting my hair done!! 🥳🥳
