Anybody around the 8/9/10DPO mark?

Hi all!

I'm on my second cycle with an actual ovulation (I think, my guess as I had a few cycles with no EWCM) since coming off the pill in March.

Anyone see a faint line? Please feel welcome to share your own lines/symptoms. I feel sick and my boobs are killing me

@willowtreamunche hello, I'm 8DPO, unfortunately I can't see a line but it is very early, I would recommend trying again at 10DPO. I had some slight cramps yesterday but unfortunately most pregnancy symptoms can also be PMS, so it's really difficult to tell. Just because you didn't have any CM in previous cycles, doesn't mean you didn't ovulate, it could just be further up where it needs to be. If you monitor your BBT, that will give you the best indication that ovulation has happened x

@willowtreamunche I just realised you didn't say what days post ovulation you are, still though I would try again on Wednesday with FMU.

@galatea098 even though your temp has come down a little, it's still quite high compared to your temps before ovulation, so you're not out yet 🙂 x

@galatea098 my temp came down slightly today but still way above the line so hopefully nothing to worry about. I was planning on testing on 31st (12DPO) but I want to have some drinks on 30th so I may test Fri morning (11DPO). Kinda wanted an excuse to test earlier anyway 😂. Are you gonna test on 31st if af doesn't arrive or earlier? I was looking on the pregnancy chat and a few people have recently got their BFP on 9DPO which makes it really tempting!

@galatea098 oh no sorry to hear your temp has come down 😔, let us know what happens tomorrow. I'm really confused, I'm 9DPO and temp is still high but this morning I had what looked like start of af (brown spotting) with light cramps. Could be implantation bleeding but I'm worried it's a bit too much. Expecting my temp to go down tomorrow x

@galatea098 sometimes I get a day of brown spotting before full on af, other times heavy dark red blood comes straight away. Since this morning the spotting has got heavier and gone from brown to reddish brown. So unfortunately it probably is af 😔, confusing that my temp hasn't gone down though. Yes the last part of the TWW is awful, I'm also pretty annoyed my luteal phase was only 8 days long. If that happens again next cycle I'll prob go to the GP see if I can get some progesterone. Do you get any other signs af is coming or just the drop in temp? x

@galatea098 unfortunately af did start yesterday, it got heavier and has continued today. Temp only came down slightly from 36.65 to 36.51 and I took paracetamol last night, so not a big drop. I came off the pill 3 months ago so could be why my luteal phase was only 8 days. Really hope it sorts itself out this next cycle. That's a shame your temp has come down again, it gets confusing when you see creamy CM near af because that can be a pregnancy sign! Well you're not out until af actually arrives but I appreciate it's looking likely ☹️. Onwards and upwards, here hoping for next month 🤞 x
