@butterfly5291 I never got round to it. But I noticed my temp changes especially in the evening. Hot flashes then chills and feeling cold. From 9dpo I noticed. My temp is going up to 37C when I feel it and measure.

stepmumSW5 · 31/08/2020 21:05

@galatea098 thank you 💕 what really saved me is that i love beer and the Leffe alcohol free is really good 😊 other than that I allowed myself a few glasses of champagne during the honeymoon xx

Livvi2021 · 31/08/2020 22:02

@Stabal wow look at that. That's really interesting to look at! Smile

butterfly5291 · 31/08/2020 22:35

@Stabal thanks for sharing...very interesting that it keeps increasing. Do you think the dip at 4dpo was implantation?

Stabal · 31/08/2020 22:41

@Livvi2021 I love looking at them!

@butterfly5291 judging by the negative tests right before I'd say it wasn't until 7/8 DPO

butterfly5291 · 31/08/2020 22:52

@Stabal so proves you don't need to have a dip in temperature for implantation. I hope you stick around on the chat to keep us updated on your progress and to help us out with charting advice!

Livvi2021 · 31/08/2020 22:53

I was talking to a friend at work last month about ovulation tracking etc. She'd never thought about it before and she was really interested and downloaded some apps and started tracking her cm. She only DTD twice and the other day told me she is pg. It's amazing how some people catch so quickly isn't it. I'm really happy for her, but also want my BFP too ha ha!

Stabal · 31/08/2020 22:55

@butterfly5291 of course I'll be sticking around! Here for the long hail 😂

@Livvi2021 that really annoys me.. Most people that fall pregnant have absolutely no idea the detail that's involved and just casually have sex and fall. Not that I'm bitter or anything 😂😂

Stabal · 31/08/2020 22:56

@butterfly5291 haul obviously, thanks autocorrect!

butterfly5291 · 31/08/2020 23:01

@Stabal good to hear!!

@Livvi2021 that is so frustrating...I've only been trying for two months and stories like that piss me off because I know how hard it can be.

Livvi2021 · 01/09/2020 07:26

@Stabal @butterfly5291 yeah, I've been trying to play down how much it's annoyed me and like I say I'm genuinely pleased for her she's a really nice woman. What's worse though is she has a child and her bf has a child already. Plus she's the same age as me and drinks and smokes (so everything should be pitted against her lol). I'm being extra healthy, not drinking anymore, eating, exercising, being proactive and nope. I think what makes it worse is that I told her about all the fertility tracking apps. Kinda feels like one big slap in the face lol. She is a nice woman though, so there is that. It would be worse if she were a bitch lol

butterfly5291 · 01/09/2020 07:59

@Livvi2021 I guess in the same way that it's not your fault that it's taking a while it's not her fault that it happened so quickly. Doesn't stop it being very frustrating though!

9DPO....really fighting the urge to test! I have no symptoms so thinking it's not happened this month anyway.

LT103 · 01/09/2020 07:59

@Livvi2021 I’ve not had any pregnancy announcements since I’ve started trying so not sure how I’ll feel. It’s completely normal to be happy for them but also sad that it’s not you and feel a bit annoyed/jealous etc when it’s something you want so bad! Think that’s just natural.

LT103 · 01/09/2020 08:03

@Stabal @butterfly5291 sorry to be annoying but you guys seem to be the most knowledgeable with charts. Mine are always so regular. Drop down for af, stay low til ovulation, temp rise and stays up about 11 days then drops for af. This month it’s all over the place. Temp right back up today. Also 9dpo and no spotting yet which is a record for me tho I do feel mild cramps. Been super exhausted last 2 days too falling asleep on couch and mid conversation last night 🤣. Don’t have a good feeling about this month so not letting myself get excited by any symptoms/non symptoms. What do you think of my chart?

Stabal · 01/09/2020 08:13

@LT103 it's hard to say when there's some missing and others taken at different times. Have you tried adjusting those times to see if it shows anything more clearer? The drop yesterday is normal, there's a surge of estrogen that causes it. The main thing is it's high again today and you haven't spotted yet 🤞🤞

LT103 · 01/09/2020 08:16

The missing ones were high but it was nights where I was up and down all night so couldn’t count them. The timings are all off slightly. Like I usually temp about half 5 cos I always wake up then but I woke up at half 4 needing toilet this morning so just did it then. Not ideal. How do you correct them??

butterfly5291 · 01/09/2020 08:20

@LT103 adjust your temps on here as you've got quite a few irregular times there. I'm not the expert though, @Stabal is...she's taught me what I know the past month.

Stabal · 01/09/2020 08:37

@LT103 I'm a frequent wakener and what I've learnt is to not take it earlier than I usually do. Just wait until you waken whether you've been up an hour before or not. Yes it might make the chart a little rocky but overall it will still show a pattern

stepmumSW5 · 01/09/2020 08:47

@Stabal have you tested today? I'm the crazy test lady and did 3 today because I still can't believe it. I'm shaking.

Stabal · 01/09/2020 08:53

@stepmumSW5 amazing! 🥰🥰 I've no tests to take and at work this morning so will get a proper one between job 1 and job 2 and do it tomorrow. Feeling rough today though so fearing the worst. How are you?

mrsgtobe97 · 01/09/2020 08:55

Hello everyone :) looking for some help lol my cycles are so long and irregular I've no scooby what DPO I am, but after coming back feeling ill from a camping trip I took a wondfo 25miu and thought I see a glimmer of a line, took one this morning and got this, unsure if it's an evap or early BFP? I have FRER's coming in the post this morning so hoping they can shed some light on it

TTC Baby no1. The crazy lot. Thread 2!!
stepmumSW5 · 01/09/2020 08:55

@Stabal stay positive! I'm feeling a bit rough too. Started a headache yesterday that hasn't gone away yet, and still having hot flashes like a low grade fever. I feel tired all the time. What are your symptoms?

stepmumSW5 · 01/09/2020 08:57

@mrsgtobe97 Hello! I can kinda see something on the bottom one. Was this with fmu?

mrsgtobe97 · 01/09/2020 08:59

[quote stepmumSW5]@mrsgtobe97 Hello! I can kinda see something on the bottom one. Was this with fmu?[/quote]
Yeah the bottom one was with fmu this morning and I did see something come up immediately but not sure as I haven't used these tests before so I'm a bit wary!
