The Pact - Who cares what month it is anymore..?

[MrsB2019x]

New thread for the Pact girls! 💙

@whambam89 I'd definitely try that route first. They may be a bit reluctant due to CV19 but always worth a shot! Let me know how you get on 🤞🏻

Thanks I will do! It was 36.7 this morning (it is normally about 36.5 after ovulation and about 36.0 before) so not a drastic increase but definitely higher than my norm post ovulation level. I'll give it until next week if I feel fine otherwise and see how it goes as it may just dropped off naturally

Morning girls, how are we all? 💐

Morning!

10dpo and feeling decidedly not pregnant. Haven't tested today as I couldn't face a BFN so early in the morning. I think if it is a BFN on 10dpo I'm pretty much out of the game.

The only "symptoms" I could say I have is tiredness and very very mild nausea first thing in the morning but I get that before my period anyway. Very few cramps, literally zilch nothing. It is rubbish when you can't even symptom spot in the TWW!

Please don't think I'm totally crazy (I am and I'm pretty desperate) and I think this is just a shadow from an indent. It wasn't FMU and it was only a 2 hour hold.

As soon as I post things on here, I immediately cannot see what I thought I can see. Ignore me please.

To try and prove that I'm not completely insane, this is a better picture. I am still pretty sure it's a shadow though.

I can see something @kirinm 🤞

Now on cd5 but think I'm done, I'm not going to open a new box of opks (have an unopened box of cbd advanced sticks in the cupboard) and am getting fed up of temping for it to go nowhere

I've cried myself to sleep the last few nights as I think I'm grieving for the child we can't have. And in fact typing that has just set me off again 😢.

Good luck to all of you but think I'll only pop back in to update you after our fertility app on the 11th November as its too hard to be on here now

Oh @claireb7rg Im really sorry, I should have been more sensitive. I think you're entitled to grieve. You've been dealt a shit hand. I know that if I don't get pregnant in the next couple of months we will have to stop and I don't know how I'll manage to get my head around that so I can only imagine how hard you're finding things.

Obviously I don't want you to leave but totally understand why you might feel that reading everyday is too much but please do come back and let us know how your appointment goes.

Don't be silly, I'm really hoping it is the start of your bfp.

@kirinm I can see something and I think it has colour! Everything crossed for you x

@claireb7rg I can only imagine how you're feeling, I really hope something positive comes out of your appointment in the next few weeks. Completely understand why you feel you can't be on the thread at the moment, but we'll miss you! Look after yourself and good luck with your appointment, please do try and update us xx

@MrsB2019x all good here, CD12 today so probably entering my FW. Haven't bought OPKs this month, but have started temping to get a better idea of when I'm actually ovulating. How are you? X

How's the temping going?

@kirinm 4 days in and I think ok, DD hasn't been awake before 6.30 so it means I've been able to track quite consistently. Not sure whether to Amazon prime some cheap OPKs just for peace of mind really. I think we're just going to start DTD at CD14 and go from there 🤞

@whambam89 only problem with temping is you only find out you've ovulated afterwards.

Which thermometer did you get? The one I bought is so slow to take your temp that there's no way I can stay still long enough (because of DD).

@claireb7rg Completely understand, the only thing keeping me on MN is this group, I’d miss you all too much! I really hope your fertility appt goes well, we will miss you but understand why this is difficult for you. Hopefully not tracking will help to clear the stress a little, I’m quite glad I stopped doing OPKs tbh.

@whambam89 Good luck for your FW! I am CD10 today I think, not doing OPKs again this month just gonna go with the flow

@kirinm I can see a small something but it is a proper squinter, hope it develops into something for you!

Thanks, i'm pretty sure it is just an indent. These bloody tests are full of them. I'm starting to think that most tests are rubbish until you're further along really. Doesn't make it any easier to resist testing though!

@kirinm I can see something there too! Do you have a frer you could use? 🤞🏻

@claireb7rg I completely get how you feel, the whole process is just so draining isn't it. We will miss you but please do update us on your appointment. I have all my fingers crossed for you! ❤️

@SS123456 I do have an FRER but I'm not sure I'll use it. I don't trust the IC and I don't feel pregnant at all and I think seeing a BFN on a FRER would crush me a little bit! I think I'll just see how I feel tomorrow.

How are you doing? Has the bleeding calmed down?

@kirinm I know what you mean, it is so disappointing seeing bfn after bfn isn't it. Maybe consider doing it in the morning though. If that is a bfp on a cheapie I think it would show on a frer🤞🏻

I'm doing ok thanks. The bleeding has almost completely stopped today which has helped. Seeing it every time I went to the toilet and knowing it wasn't just a period did make things a lot harder. I'm still upset but I feel like I am picking myself back up again now so I can move forward. My OH thankfully wants to carry on with trying so we'll see what happens

@kirinm I got the femometer one, I think about £10 off Amazon - it does take a while but I'm waking before DD so it doesn't matter so much.

Will you test again tomorrow?

Glad you’re feeling slightly better @SS123456 💙

Thanks @MrsB2019x ❤️

Do you think I should start opks straight away? I guess I won't know when I'll ovulate this month now (if at all) will I?
