@lucyrp that looks promising! Did you take your CD13 temp slightly later than normal by any chance?

@Minster2012 I'm so sorry you've had such a wonky and weird cycle! And yeah you'd hope the boiler was made out of gold! Luckily we've managed to get it sorted for £2k (on Friday though, so still having cold showers!) but it's not ideal considering how much money we're bleeding atm through the general house purchase and move!

5 DPO today and 36.80 temp wise so it's still looking pretty normal/standard. Not holding my breath though, am convinced this cycle will be no different than the others...

So happy to hear all is progressing well @Catherinettc, I love hearing a good success story from here! You'll need to check back in and update us with your scan next week. Pregnancy can be shit, everyone talks about this 'glowing' but a bit like the ttc journey the crap parts of pregnancy are often overlooked! I had morning noon and night sickness from about 7/8dpo right thru to 17weeks and remember thinking why does no one warn you about this and the name 'morning' sickness is so misleading and while you expect to be exhausted at the later stages when you're waddling, no one talks about the wanting to sleep 24/7 style exhaustion that can hit in the early stages! But the end result is so worth it so just keep that in mind during your really tough days and keep reminding yourself it won't last forever. 2nd trimester isn't as bad you get a slight reprieved compared to 1st and 3rd ones so just rest up as much as you can when you reach that point.

@Juno231 I try to temp at 6 o clock but rely on OH waking me up so it varies between 6-7 but normally closer to 6. CD12 was 6:38 and CD13 was 6:24

@Catherinettc aw that's great to hear all going well. Hope you start to feel better soon.

@Juno231 I can't believe you are 5dpo already! That seemed to come around very quick. Actually had to check the first post to see when you were testing because I thought maybe it was cd 5 😂I forget everyone is moving on while I'm in limbo 😂
Sorry @lucyrp I don't mean to ignore you, I'm just not a chart person! Hope it is saying ovulation though 😃

@Minster2012 good luck for today lovely, everything crossed for you 🤞🏻✨

@DKDK123 ah I hope today's tests show 🥰 I'm with you on the crazy testing! I feel like amazon should just start sending me FRERs daily. Like @Katao said, it could just be better for you in the evenings 💕

@Catherinettc aw congratulations I think I missed your BFP during my MN break 😂 Eek maybe twins 🥰 also I'm with you, we only DTD once in fertile week and thought I had another month of having no chance! X

@katao I know right! it's like a conveyor belt of TWWs it feels like. How are you doing atm?

@lucyrp fair enough, was just double checking as your CD13 was a bit higher than the rest.

So had my blood test this morning & all they would say was they are gonna test for estrogen levels & "any thing untoward" on urgent & until I have scan in an hour they just don't know so not giving anything away really.

My best friend who is the only person to know outside of DH & you guys sent me this which made me lol so let's have all your juicy thoughts ladies

Since bloods this morning I've been in our office cleaning out THE mankiest fridge which I thought was being thrown out as I bought a new one for the office but turns out is being put in a site cabin (reusing is good) so the boss's wife gets ALL the glamorous jobs 😂but it's kept me busy. Another quick dog walk now then off to hospital again 🤞🏻

@Minster2012 Hope it all goes well at the scan 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Oh ladies why do we keep this roller coaster ttc journey to ourselves? I just opened up to my sister there about our journey over the past year only for her to reveal she's been ttc for the past 4 years!!! (PCOS) She already has one and told me ages ago they weren't having any more and I just accepted it. When I think of all that time I could have been there supporting her and all the heartache she'd have been going thru alone, and how she must have felt when I had my son 2years ago when she was ttc. Seriously why as a society is it still so hush hush, its so sad isn't it! ☹

@Minster2012 good luck!

@DKDK123 I find I'm more open about TTC now especially in work and the more you say the more other people say too!

@DKDK123 aw that does make me sad! It really is just something that isn't spoken about at all. In the same, I really didn't tell anyone we were TTC. I'd say we'd stopped trying to not get pregnant but I was never open about how much I was looking into it all, even to my friends. But you're right, it just means we all end up going through it alone 😔 x

@Juno231 ugh very much in limbo and bored of it! No sign of af at cd33 and bfn on an ic this morning. Should have had results from bloods on Monday but no one is getting back to me. Just put in another call there but won't hold my breath.

@Minster2012 half way there, hope all goes well.

@DKDK123 oh that's actually quite heartbreaking really isn't it, especially between sisters at least you can support each other going forward. You are right though, why do we do it to ourselves? I really don't talk to anyone irl about it.

@katao def chase!

Well OH was meant to get a letter from the GP about his SA - which he's been waiting for since Mon last week. He chased again today and they basically were like fine, we can print it out and you can come pick it up at reception? So he did. Turns out it was a referral form (they did not explain that lol) which he could've done online a week ago...

Anyway earliest appointment is 27th of Oct!!

@DKDK123 let us know if your FRERS from amazon arrive. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine taking the Coq10 aswel as your others. I'm taking Coq10, DHA, vit c, vit d & folic acid everyday. If you want to know anymore about them hun then just ask, but they really are supposed to help with egg quality so definitely worth a shot. Shopping all done & kids picked up from school so home now & just sorting tea!

@lucyrp fingers crossed they bloody get it right next week for you!

@Catherinettc I only DTD twice in fertile week last month when I got my BFP. Eeek imagine if it was twins🙈

@Juno231 let's hope you get an implantation dip in the next couple days! I track my RHR & I got an implantation dip when I got my BFP

@KateColx I want to see your progression lines so keep posting! I'm excited for you!

@Minster2012 I really hope your bloods come back ok! Annoying that they weren't giving much away. Please let us know how your scan went. I've been thinking of you all day!

@Katao just keep ringing them & pestering them🙉

@Chlo2701 I hope they do otherwise I might have a mental breakdown! 😫 I've only had sex twice this fertile week so not looking too hopeful especially as I don't know if or when I ovulated !😂

Ladies.... I took this frer last night at what would of been 12dpo on a 4 hr hold... I took a picture of it at the 3 minute mark and I shrugged it off as negative but at the same time swore I could see something... but not sure if my mind was playing tricks... I didn't retest today but might do tomorrow... my bbt has also increased today which I'll attach.... no other symptoms other than itchy left nipple 🤣 and wanting to eat everything I see lol

I dont know if I'm just kidding myself lol! Can anyone else see anything??

Also, @Minster2012 how did today go?? You ok? Xx

Hi everyone, I hope you don’t mind me barging in. I’d lurked on the thread for a while but not posted. I just wanted to share some info that I think helped me to conceive (nearly 7 weeks now so still very early days). I think I was timing bd slightly wrong because I was over relying on opks and ignoring my ewcm. For example, I would often have ewcm on cds 7-11 however my opks changed to high on cd12 and then peaked cd13. I wondered if perhaps I was ovulating much earlier than the opks would have me believe and the month that I started to bd every other day from cd7 was the month I fell.

For the week after my temperature rise I also listened to relaxing fertility mediations on YouTube each lunchtime and made a conscious effort to shake off work stress.

It might all have been a lucky fluke, but wanted to share in case it helps anyone else!

Well the nurse rang me and said my progesterone came back low and to make a follow up appointment with the doctor 😭

I hope today went well for you @Minster! Fingers crossed.

@Hopeful I'm not a very seasoned line viewer but I'm afraid I cant see anything. It's still early though so it might be that it's not showing up well on camera. Deffo try tomorrow with FMU and keep us posted! Good luck!

I'm sorry I don't see anything @Hopeful110
@Juno231 that is a pain about the form, grr why didn't they just say!
@Truffle123 thanks! I think I'm going to throw my opks out the window so I'll keep that in mind 😂 congratulations!
Also on edge here @Minster2012 hoping you are ok?

@Minster2012 hope it all went well today!

@Hopeful110 sorry I can't see anything but fingers crossed for you x

@Katao sorry to hear about your bloods☹️

@Juno231 how frustrating! Fucking drs offices, honestly! I missed my call from the dr today and he left a VM saying he'd call bk n he did not. Called the drs office to check it would still happen and I was 10th in the queue 🙄 I just hung up! I'll try and again in the morning, such ball ache! I just want my referral put through, that is it!
@Katao oh babe, good they're investigating though!
@Hopeful110 I had one like that and apparently there's been bad batches flying about so take it as bfn until you can buy a new pack and test again.
@Minster2012 hope the scan went well?! X

@Minster2012 haha thanks 🌭

@lucyrp yay! And sorry I have no idea! I just tend to go with the first one I take.

@DKDK123 really hope it is another positive for you x

@Catherinettc thank you for saying that, just what I needed to hear right now as i am SO giving up hope of natural conception 😫

@Juno231 arrgh that's so annoying about the sa!

@Catherinettc haha it's not willpower, is utter fright of a bfn
@Minster2012 fingers crossed for the scan
@Katao hope you get some answers

No af showed up yet, doc said to wait for a new one on time after the spotting last month, I will test Sunday, promise, even DH is surprised,... I've been given the easy jobs today as I feel quite rubbish, so not so knackered today, I don't know what is a symptom or cold anymore
