I'm CD11, waiting for something (anything) to happen this month 😂. Only taking my Inofolic Alpha this cycle and nothing else.

Hope I've tagged everyone xx

@HopeForRainbowbaby Imagine ttc when our grandparents were having babies I bet it felt like an eternity no scans, no pregnancy tests! Crazy to think of it now. My grandma told me that pregnancy just had to be confirmed by an internal examination and they just used to guess how far along you were based on bump size and baby movements... no temping and flashy smilies then 😂

@Northernsoul90 yes and many women didn't know they were pregnant until much later. I have heard that the internal examination was checking if your "interior"was purple once a woman was suspecting something. It sounds so strange but maybe true ?

Morning ladies! So I’m 2dpo now and my BBT was 36.83 this morning. It was 36.65 yesterday morning. How long does it keep rising post ovulation? Xx

Morning everyone🥰

Just catching up on everything from yesterday. CD12 here now.. Fertility Friend thinks I'm in FW! Tomorrow I start my new job, after four months of furlough!

We are going to Legoland today as a final day out before the routines go back into place.

@Rb486 I'm so sorry that it was BFN. Did AF arrive this morning? Xx

@Lollol86 sounds like yesterday was the day! How was your day at the beach?😊

@Hayley19835 are you doing any tracking or anything this cycle? Xx

@MichT4 that pic looked glorious, sounds like an amazing weekend! Glad you both had that time away. How are you today? X

@Northernsoul90 @HopeForRainbowbaby so interesting about the bloods! Yes, I've heard something about being purple down below as a sign of pregnancy back then 😂😂 honestly, imagine all the guessing.

@Firevie depends! Some charts I've seen go into the 37s, but you'll normally see some fluctuations in the temp but within your higher range if that makes sense.

@VP91x good morning! Yeah the weekend was really lovely, just what I needed. And I've woken up thinking about the pup, so it's definitely a welcome distraction already!

How was your weekend? How are you today? Looking forward to going back to work?

I'm fine thank you, little temp drop this morning which is typical when I said about it. Nothing major yet but I'm worried for tonight 🙄

Here's my chart, and @Firevie if FF have my ovulation day right or close, mine went up a couple of times too. Like @VP91x it'll go up and down throughout the TWW

xx

@VP91x ooh to FW prediction. Will you have a chance to OPK today? xx

@MichT4 estrogen surge dip, don't worry! It'll go back up🤞

Aw yes, I can imagine! We got confirmation yesterday too that ours should be here by 16th Aug. So that is good news🥰

Yeah all good here, just having a cup of tea before getting things sorted for the day. Yesterday was nice, went to my mums in the morning then the wildlife park in the afternoon.

Yeah, looking forward to it tomorrow. Good to finally start after all this time. Xx

@MichT4 I'll do one when I get back in the evening, might take one with me but doubt I'll be able to faff about with it haha xx

Thanks again for all your positive messages yesterday, this thread is the only place I shared my concerns because it's the first place I posted after the MC and where I feel most safe ☺️ I have booked another scan for 3weeks time as that will take me past my previous MC date and OH can't attend dating scan so seemed like the right thing. @Runnergirl1 my MC was 19th March and I'm now 7weeks pg so I caught on the 4th cycle x

@Rb486 sorry it was a BFN yesterday but I'm glad you have a plan for next month, staying relaxed and not putting pressure on DTD could be exactly what you need x

@MichT4 ahh that beach pic is lush 😎 glad you enjoyed a break and a few Proseccos with your man x

@Firevie post ovulation temps should be higher than pre-ovulation temps, some people's rise over a few days and then balance out as long as they stay higher if they bounce around a bit up there it isn't a concern x

@VP91x enjoy legoland, can't believe you're starting work tomorrow... you all set up? X

@MichT4 temp is still higher so I wouldn't worry and just see how it plays out, my chart first month after MC temps weren't as stable as normal which makes sense as hormones may be slightly out of whack of normal x

@SmileyT so so pleased that all was okay and that we were able to support you ❤️. Ah that's a good plan so you'll have a scan every 3 weeks roughly?

How was the rest of your weekend?

Honestly, no I'm not even a bit ready 😂 I'm in at 10am tomorrow so I'll get it sorted. I don't even know what I'm going to wear. I done a big ASOS haul, but their stuff is SO hit and miss these days not like it used to be.

Thanks🥰, looking forward to Legoland! Xx

@SmileyT @MichT4 @VP91x thanks for all your responses! Makes sense and will obv keep temping to see what’s going on. Will probably be around 36 but in the higher range as per ovulation I was between 36.20-36.40. Hope everyone has a great day today ladies! Xx

@VP91x have fun we ❤️ Legoland but 4 hour drive for us so we have to plan, but on the plus side my boys are going to their dads today so I’m taking a trip to ikea on my own so I can spend as much time browsing as I like 🎉🎉🎉 I have a big list but no doubt fake plants and candles will end up in my trolly 🤣🤣 xx

@VP91x that's amazing about your puppy, not long to wait at all! Do you know what you're calling him yet?

@VP91x @SmileyT yeah I'm sure it's fine. Just after all the peaks I hoped it wouldn't play with my mind. Hopefully on the home straight of this cycle but time will tell.

@SmileyT I'm so glad everything was ok and that we were able to be there for you. I hope you're feeling on cloud 9 this morning (as much as is possible on a hot tube). Not too long until the next scan and you should be able to see so much more. So happy and excited for you xx

@VP91x yes af greeted me last night, a day early. Must have been eager 😡 lol! 33 day cycle though which isn’t bad. Better than before m/c actually. So I’m ditching the OPKs, eating well and keeping busy!

How is everyone else? Anyone approaching the end of the TWW?

Or on CD2 now like me? New month, same goal 😂 xx

@VP91x ohhh we love legoland, I always use my Clubcard vouchers for there, saves me loads of money. Let me know what it's like with the changes. The beach was lovely, we went across to the fair too, I'm shattered today though. Thankfully only working until 10.30 as my youngest has a hospital appointment xx

@HopeForRainbowbaby How strange! All the guessing just have driven them crazy xx

@VP91x Enjoy legoland! So exciting about your puppy, not long to wait! Xx

@SmileyT Glad that we could all be here for you, so pleased that all went well. I think I will do something similar when I get a bfp and have scans in intervals to try and keep my mind at rest. It's good that OH can attend the other scans with you as well! Xx

10dpo and the urge to test is creeping in 🤪🤪

@Northernsoul90 try and wait until at least 12dpo I’d say. Faint lines are head fuck!! Lol, look forward to your result though! 😃

@Rb486 I agree! it's hard to wait but I don't want to put myself through it. I've told myself I'm going to wait until Saturday and if af doesn't appear then test 🤞🏼

@Northernsoul90 you wait it out! Just another couple of days! Distract yourself.

Have fun at legiland @VP91x
Just did the first Bettina Rae gentle yoga for TWW. I like her / will do one of her vids every morning / part of my morning routine. Who is with me?
Xx

Morning everyone. I’m 8dpo now. So over the halfway mark until AF. Think it will start by Sunday/Monday. I’ve still been getting some faint lines on the one steps and seem to be slightly better with an afternoon urine than fmu at the moment?! I give up now cause like @Rb486 says it’s a head fuck. I won’t do it again. I was always really good at just waiting to see if AF came, partly because it always did so I didn’t see much point in testing. Obviously me getting preg last time and the thought of being more fertile after mc gave me massive new hopes and I’m just desperate for it to work because I really don’t want to go back to years of trying or fertility treatment 💔 Maybe on some level I needed to go mad this month as part of my grieving process. I’m sure if AF comes I will learn from this and not repeat it because I just can’t live like this every month. I probably just needed to go through the motions this month and get it out my system if that makes sense. Thanks for being patient with me guys. Xx

@Firevie Me I'm going to start doing them again!! Might do the same one that you have done this morning xx

@Pugprincess You haven't gone mad this month, please don't be hard on yourself. You still aren't out yet and like you said over half way through tww 😊. Early testing is one of those things that we have all done/do, I've driven myself round the bend with it a few times which is why I'm determined to stick it out this time. We are all in this together whether we pee on 50 sticks or 1 🤣. Have you got anything planned today to keep you distracted maybe? I'm going to clean my house from top to bottom which I'm hoping will keep my mind busy xxx

@Northernsoul90 yay! That would be great. We can keep each other company xx
