Congratulations @2495KaJa!!!

Feeling tired but to be honest that seems to be my norm at the moment with WFH and doing more hours than I would normally.

As I temp anyway with natural cycles I have been watching it to see if it dips as it normally does just before my period. Even though it is too early yet.

Planning on distracting myself today.

@2495KaJa congratulations on your BFP! Wishing you happy and healthy 9 months x

@BettyM90 I think it’s a bigger different because it drops right before. So for now (before ovulation) my temps are in the range of 36.2 - 36.4 and then after they have tended to be 36.4 - 36.8

@MummyToPrince I’ve been well thanks, how is your pregnancy going? I am a little bummed out by the lockdown, trying to plan things with my donor, always a bit scared he’s gonna decide it’s too much hassle and change his mind....

Thank you ❤️ hope everyone stays safe and well xx

@Supermathsdoc good I'm glad you are well... What CD are you now?.. Bless you it must be so hard! I really hope he doesn't change his mind! Everything is going well so far thank you lovely x

@AHobbyaweek I fount it so hard to keep distracted

@MummyToPrince I’m CD10 today, been for a run this afternoon and it’s an absolutely gorgeous day, I’m determined not to get as unfit as I did during the last lockdown!

My plan is OPK testing from Monday and I’ve sent my donor the dates of my predicted FW (10th-14th) and asked him to let me know what 3 days work best for him...

I tried acupuncture for the first time yesterday. So weird. I can’t say I felt any more relaxed, but will stick with it for a bit!

2 days not 3! Wishful thinking...

@Supermathsdoc I'm liking your plan :-) I have everything including my legs crossed for you this month!! I've never had acupuncture.. Are you using pre seed this month?

@MummyToPrince thanks so much! I’ve used pre-seed in all 4 cycles so far, I think I’ll probably carry on but I don’t actually need a lubricant as such because of the ummm ‘method’ .... @RBCoxie suggested putting it the next day as well to try keep the environment right, not really sure what the best thing to do is....

@Supermathsdoc yeah I also read that it keeps the environment right, what about if you done it on your peak and then again the following day and maybe the day after? I'm going to have a good read up on it tomorrow so I will get back to you if I find anything interesting and worth trying :-)

@MummyToPrince thanks so much! He’s messaged me to say Tuesday and Thursday could work, but that he has some ‘cold like symptoms’ and his sons football coach tested positive for COVID so he needs to get tested....

I’m trying to stay hopeful but it definitely feels like this month is gonna be a tough one!

@Supermathsdoc oh no, it would be ideal if you ovulated later this month so it gives time for him to get his results and hopefully they are negative.. What is the chances of him still doing Tuesday and Thursday?

I'm back again! Took them same test today and it was barley there almost negative 😥 Probaly a chemical right? 😞

@2495KaJa did you use fmu? If you didn't and the line is now fading unfortunately yes that would be a chemical, I'm really sorry you are going through this

@2495KaJA I'm so sorry, that does sound like a chemical if the line is fading on the same type of test, on a FMU. I had this in July and even though its so early its still heart breaking. Sending you good vibes and hoping there might be another explanation x

@MummyToPrince Yeah we had planned Tuesday & Thursday. He has said they think its just a cold, the contact hasn't come up on his app so he doesn't need a test ? ....I will start OPK tests tomorrow and hope for the best!

Strangely I'm a bit calmer as I cant control any of this. The pandemic is what it is and I try to think whatever happens with TTC will be for the best in some way x

@Supermathsdoc I'm super excited for you! So it would be perfect if you hit peak on Wednesday? So you have the day before peak and the day after? X

Morning,
@mummytoprince I used FMU yes and started bleeding this morning so definitely a chemical x

@supermathsdoc yes it is a chemical I started bleeding this morning. I spent most of yesterday in tears but in a sense I'm glad the bleeding started so soon as its a fresh start, maybe next time❤️

@2495KaJa I'm so so sorry, please be kind to yourself, if you need to rant we are here for you x

I actually jumped to page 12 of this thread and thought every one was trying again was So freaked out. 😬

11dpo and don't 'feel' pregnant anymore. Every month I could kick myself for not being healthier. Smokings down to 2 or 3 a day, eating healthy but it's so glumy exercise keeps getting skipped for naps and it's far to easy to get bored and reach for the vino!! I know this time of year is always hard but I'm so pissed off at myself. Gonna go see a doc in January if nothing happens. I know they say wait a year but fuck that....who am I kidding I know they'll just tell me to get fitter/completely stop smoking 😂 pity party over. How's everyone?

@2495KaJa I'm so sorry to hear that💐

Had a dream last night that we got custody of my partners kids and a big fat happy baby. Was such a weirdly lovely dream. In the dream I just thought OK I have 3 kids now no big deal let's go get ice cream.

@Imworthit if I'm honest, I'm 5 weeks 3 days and I don't feel pregnant, before I took a test I had a gut feeling i knew but only because my boobs and still to this point all I have is extremely sore boobs! When are you testing?

I'm getting so impatient to test now and only 6dpo.
Keep looking at the calendar to count like it will change. I need a grip.
Doesn't help being bored while WFH. just on calls all day that have limited value.

Afternoon everyone

@Imworthit it’s so hard to do all the things we are meant to do, I think it just adds to the pressure. We can only do our best x

@AHobbyaweek almost there! I would try to hold out if you can...

I’ve had some good news, my donor doesn’t have covid and has decided he’s happy to come round tomorrow morning! I had some EWCM this morning so feeling good about the timing. Plus for the first time I have a 2nd shot on Thursday (when I will go round and pick up the sample) so I really feel like I can do no more....

Trying to keep up the positive energy, but also remember that it can be normal for it to take a year at my age.... x

@mummytoprince waiting at least 3 days before I even think of it. Don't want to get my hopes up too early.

@Supermathsdoc This has come round again so quickly! I'm feeling good about Thursday's shot. That's when I'm referring to the midwives so that sounds like some planet aligning shit right there!

@Imworthit and @AHobbyaweek What are your planned testing dates? We'll try and keep you sane until then! (Also it will help distract me from the see saw of emotions driving me bat shit crazy at the moment! 🤣)
