Thank you. I peed I on an opk also just to see if they really show positive when pregnant lol that’s my entertainment for the day lol my partner surprised me this baby with a birthday card and wrote in it from him, my daughter and baby fetus lol very sweet of him but will now have to hid the card so my daughter doesn’t see it or my friends that are calling later

How is everyone today

@2020wish happy birthday lovely! What lovely gifts seeing your line so nice and dark

@1990EM oh that's so good you never had to take anything, gives hope all round!

Well ladies my temp dropped again last night, so we are now back to the level it was pre either of the rises. So now I'm wondering if I did ovulate or not 🙄
So do I go back to my ore ovu routine of grapefruit juice etc. Or stick with calc Fluor? 😂😂 bloody typical, knew I wouldn't be that lucky!

xx

That was meant to say he surprised me this bday not baby lol I know I don’t even want anything. I’ve got my birthday present growing right now. Thank you @MichT4 how many days dpo did u think U where? One temp drop doesn’t mean u didn’t ovulate. I take calc flur the whole way throughout my cycle so it wouldn’t do harm continuing to take it

@2020wish it dropped two days in a row. I think probably today would have been 4DPO. I had two sharp rises, 4DPO is off the second one and when I had the peak OPK. The first rise was after a pretty dark OPK and was 3 days before that.

I'll just do another OPK, keep DTD as much as we want to and see what happens I guess. Just disappointing when I thought it had happened I guess xx

I've just had a text reminder through on my phone for my 16 week midwife appointment😞 😢 I was told everything had been cancelled so I'm really annoyed.I was trying to not think about how many weeks I would have been and that was a very harsh reminder

@MichT4 have u a pic of ur chart? Yes just keep DTD every 2nd day so u are covered.
Could external factors have interfered with ur temp x

@Northernsoul90 so sorry that happened. It happened to me :( I received two letters in the post, then 2 texts and a phone call. I was ready to start screaming at the midwifes as I was fed up telling them I had mc. It’s so hard having those constant reminders

My friend calling tonight is 20 weeks pregnant, we had the same due date. This will be the first time I’ve seen her since my loss. Dunno how I’m gonna be

@SmileyT I have another in two weeks,hopefully all is well by then. Do you remember the size of yours.

@2020wish I don't think so, but I guess it's a possibility. It's no big deal really, I'm only CD14 if heavy bleeding was day 1. Just when you think it might have happened and had all the signs, it's disheartening to see this. I had one drop and was sure this morning it would have gone back up, but not to be.

@Northernsoul90 that's really rubbish they did that. I'd definitely make a call on Monday and make them aware. It's really unacceptable

xx

It’s possible then that u may ovulate over the next few days as you are only CD14, what day do u usually ovulate in?

@MichT4 thank you for the codes. I agree- it’s so good to get away!

@SmileyT love the one sore boob thing haha. And you have a scan date! It’s great to have something to work towards

@VP91x aw I really hope they give you some options for your appointment on Monday. I’ll be thinking of you

Gosh the 2ww is really tough this time! X

@2020wish normally late, I have long cycles. Last month was really long as I had what seemed to be a failed ovulation attempt and then ovulated a little later on.
Just know it can happen sooner, and I started spotting a week before the bleeding, so took the OPKs and got the peak. All seemed to be lining up for an earlier ovulation.
It is what it is though, will just keep with it xx

@Hayleylou89 I’m glad they are looking after you. It must be nerve wracking but it sounds like you are getting what you need and I think it’s a good idea to get checked before holiday otherwise you might not enjoy being away. Are you hoping they do give you the stitch?

@Northernsoul90 oh no that’s horrible. Today is a bad one for me too as I should have been going to my ten week private scan today that I had to cancel 😞 hugs xx

@2020wish Happy birthday 🥳 hope seeing your pregnant friend goes better than you’re thinking. Least you can think to yourself that you have another bundle of joy in you, it would be so much harder if you didn’t have that I think 💭

@MichT4 it frustrating I’m sure thinking u are in the tww then not. I hope it happens soon for you love!

@Pugprincess that’s true, it does make it a bit easier. It’s going to be hard not telling her later x

@Pugprincess. I feel ok in myself to be honest after Wednesday anyway. Still bleeding though like a period and like I say I have strong painkillers if I contract again. Hopefully this will expel soon and I can move on. That is a lovely thought.

Yesterday was better at hospital but only because I asked all the questions - worked out by researching everything. It’s a horrible time now though as I know what’s to come IN The next few Days which makes me not want to venture out too far x

@2020wish Happy birthday! Lovely line progression on your tests too 🥳💕 Thank you, it just feels really insensitive doesn't it! It will be tough for you but at least once you've seen her the 'first time' hurdle will be over. Sending hugs xx

Thank you @Pugprincess sending hugs right back to you! 💕 The milestones and reminders are so hard aren't they xx

@MichT4 Im unsure of the temps I've been really useless at taking mine. I know that bbt is not an absolutely definite measure though and lots of factors can affect it, hopefully you did ovulate 🤞🏼 I'm unsure as well I got the peak clear blue and I did have some pinching pains that I normally get but I wasn't doing cheapy opks properly (as in holding and taking them at regular times) and I never saw a peak on one. I also wasn't temping. I think I'm just going to continue dtd every other day and hope for the best whilst treating this as my tww xx

@Northernsoul90 I'm doing the same really. I'm going to try and do an OPK today, but we are out for a friends birthday bbq (great day for it ⛈) so it depends if I can get a good hold beforehand. I'll go back to doing one a day if I can, and DTD every other day at least.
I knew this month would be unpredictable so there's no point trying to hang on to anything I guess. Just felt like for once I wouldn't be waiting for ever to ovulate, although a week or so thinking I might have has made the time go quicker xx

@MichT4 sorry to see that temperature drop but maybe your body is just gearing up for a later ovulation again and you'll get another peak on opks soon?
I went to see my parents on the south coast, change of scenery was lovely and so relaxing!

@Northernsoul90 oh that's so horrible to be reminded like that. I had similar. Then also got a letter through post saying I'd missed appointments etc, OH ended up calling midwives and being really firm basically as gentle reminders clearly weren't working!

@smileyT haha yep I did! A week away from OH and I'm hopeful all the relaxing has helped spur some kind of hormonal balance change and my ovulation may have restarted again. Getting lots of watery CM today, the last couple of weeks it's been non existent / sticky - maybe an end is in sight for my 59 day cycle!

@Hayleylou89 ahh I'm glad that they have reviewed it and started treatment early to try and avoid/ delay other more intrusive treatments x

@2020wish happy birthday 🥳 so nice to have some great news to celebrate this birthday x

@Northernsoul90 I'm so sorry this has happened I've heard a few ladies on here say that they received the same, such bad communication in some of these hospitals 😭

@MichT4 Well like you said it was still early, I also found that first cycle after my MC my temps were a bit erratic, as always with BBT I feel like you only get the clear picture at the end of the cycle unfortunately, keep that PMA and keep enjoying DTD and it will all come together x

@Mommybear05 how are you feeling? xx

@DBTJ attached a pic of the size of sch compared to sac... how are you doing? x

@MrsK21 @SmileyT you're right, it's early and I have time. I feel oddly positive this month, which is strange given it's the first cycle. Not in that I'm sure I'll be PG, but just positive, and I guess if I haven't ovulated, then I have another chance to catch a sticky bean, and that's not a bad thing.

How is everyone today? Much planned on this grey looking Saturday?

xx

@Runnergirl1 aw I don’t blame you for not wanting to be out much. I didn’t either. Every big thing for me seemed to pass when I was on toilet having a wee, I’m guessing that must help push things out?

@MrsK21 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻 I noticed discharge a couple of days before my ov pains.

Something I’ve thought about and I don’t know if it was the same for others but mc seems badly portrayed on tv? I was terrified when I had my first proper gush of red on toilet cause I thought it all just came out really quickly and wasn’t going to stop in between like a period. Like things on tv don’t show how long a process this actually is? I had no idea.

@2020wish such lovely line progression! Happy birthday!

@MichT4 enjoy the bbq and let us know if you do the opk, 🤞🏻
We’re not up to a lot just shopping (got to nip b and m for some garden bits were working on) and food shop at Aldi. Got DH bro and wife visiting later this aft so I’ve got to get on top of house at some point lol. Attached a picture of my garden project, need some more white gravel 😅

@LKMH welcome 🥰 I hope you aren't in limbo for too much longer. Do you think you'll track ovu this month? X

@SmileyT oh no, I feel like I ruin your food plans 😩😩 are you still going to go anyway? Yeah will be nice to actually do something new. Although after a week I'm sure I'll be sick of working 😂😂 I should have tried to marry rich!

@Hayleylou89 ah that's brilliant news that you'll be checked before going away and started on the pessaries. Sounds like they are a fab clinic. Xx

@2020wish happy birthday lovely 🥳❤️ hope you enjoy your day!!

@MichT4 oh that's so so frustrating jusr sae your chart, but like others said maybe you sre gesring uo for a second peak. This month was always going to br unpredictable, but dtd regulsrly will have you covered regardless. Definitely keep that PMA ❤️ not doing anything fun, Bella has just gone down for a nap, might join her 😴 xx

@Pugprincess that looks fab your garden!

@Mommybear05 thank you 🥰 I hope the TWW rushes by, it is the worst though. How are you feeling xx
