Hello! Enjoyed catching up with today's chat. Hope you are all ok 😀
@Ams19 thats amazing news! You are most definitely pregnant! So happy for you!
@jessi60 How are you feeling by tonight?
Haha @CardioQueen funny your DP does that! Hope you get some progression soon. 🤞🏻 for you!!
Aww @DrS44 - you are exactly like me last month! Testing waaaay too early 🤣 But you can't help it. I hope this month I'll wait till my AF is late (we ALL know thats a lie!)
Cd14 over here! After my weird peak yesterday, its now back to 0.22. I know yesterday was wrong, and now Premom says dtd, you are ovulating! I might delete that picture because its messing with my timeline! Agh!
Other than that, still full of energy.
Plan this week is to continue dtd as much as we can, bbt and opks!
Oh, I've officially lost over a stone too! Woop! Very happy. It now means I'm allowed a takeaway 🤣

@PowerOfFlowers a stone!! Bloody hell!! Well done you, that is absolutely insane. That will definitely help with both TTC and pregnancy 👏👏👏👏

PowerOfFlowers · 22/11/2020 19:55

Thanks @Ams19 😊 I have another stone to go until I'm happy but if I get a BFP this month, its ok. If not, then I'll carry on 😀

Lucille3 · 23/11/2020 08:30

10 dpo, bfn as white as white can be. Of course, I'm now thinking 'wellllll, I might have ovulated a day later, i might only be 9dpo'

I don't know why I do it to myself 🤷‍♀️

positivitytree2020 · 23/11/2020 08:35

Did my temps this morning and FF has now marked CD14 and my ovulation day!
Not sure what to make if this, as I’m convinced I ovulated on CD15, which was the 2nd day of LH peak! And had very sore stitch that night! 🤔 hmm!

@positivitytree2020 if you are pretty sure it is wrong make your temp on 21st slightly lower so it isnt a rise from the day before. Then from tomorrow, when your temp hopefully stays up, you'll get the lines again a day further along!

@PowerOfFlowers that is such a great loss, well done you 👏🏼 x

DrS44 · 23/11/2020 08:51

Morning all, I've woken up to cramps, mild and not concentrated on any side. Actually feel quite central and could quite possibly be AF? 😭

8DPO first cycle off the pill not yet had AF O happened CD27 xx

Ams19 · 23/11/2020 08:52

@drs44 fingers crossed AF stays away 🤞🤞🤞

DrS44 · 23/11/2020 08:52

@PowerOfFlowers amazing well done you 👏🏻👏🏻

@Lucille3 @Dex1521 not sure why we do it to ourselves 🤷🏼‍♀️😅

@jessi60 any updates on ovulation?

Dex1521 · 23/11/2020 09:00

@DrS44 it could be implantation cramps I’ve heard they are more central than off to one side. I’m 4dpo today and feel absolutely fine no symptoms at all, same as yesterday. Only thing that’s different is I have permanently hard nipples which is so rare for me in the past ive actually struggled to get them hard 😂 even in a hot shower it didn’t change they stayed hard. I’ve read it’s a sign of estrogen rising which could be a PG sign but honestly I don’t think it’s happened this month. I’m the same not had a period since coming off the pill I just happened to catch my ovulation (a voice in my head told me to test for it 🤣). I’ve just got a gut feeling it hasn’t worked 😢

jessi60 · 23/11/2020 09:05

@DrS44 Hi, aw I’m still in agony with stomach cramps and been sick again this morning. My gp is ringing me at 2:30. I’m fed up now 🙁 it’s been hard to do the opk testing to be honest. I’ve done a couple and I’ll put the picture on. To be honest. I’m even more confused to what the hell is going on 😂

@jessi60 sorry you're still feeling rough. Hope the GP can help.

I wonder if you're trying to ovulate, but things are thrown off by being so poorly?

Either that or are you dehydrated from being sick and that's why the OPKs are coming back dark?

Ams19 · 23/11/2020 09:23

@jessi60 I think @GreenApplesYo is right, it is very common for sickness to delay ovulation! So I think your body keeps trying but because you aren't well it is being delayed!

OP posts:
positivitytree2020 · 23/11/2020 09:58

@AMS19 I might alter my temp on CD14 so, I’m 90% sure it was CD15 coz I still had a peak at 5pm that day! 😊
Once I maintain my 3 day rise, does my temp need to stay above that red line for the rest of the cycle?

DrS44 · 23/11/2020 10:11

I'm now getting like a shooting pain into my bum 🤷🏼‍♀️😅 what on Earth is happening to me 🤣🤣

@Dex1521 Oohh maybe it is! I'm getting the strangest sensations! No other symptoms though, but yes been having some CM which I did hear goes away before AF? Aw don't rule yourself out yet it's way too early for that! But as you say this month has just been a bonus for us both ☺️ xxx

Dex1521 · 23/11/2020 10:33

@DrS44 if anything I hope that AF arrives on or around the day I’m due based on my Flo app. I mean ideally I would like her to not arrive but if she has to then 🤣. I’m going on a health cleanse today back to calorie counting and going out walking again as since coming off the pill ive stuffed my face and honestly put nearly a stone on which is probably not helping anything 😂

Ams19 · 23/11/2020 10:35

@positivitytree2020 yes needs to stay above. A dip could indicate AF is coming. Or it could be an implantation dip if it picks back up and depending on when in the cycle it is!

DrS44 · 23/11/2020 10:44

@jessi60 ohhh god I am so sorry that is awful- you poor thing! Hmmm the gals might be right about attempted ovulation? Just focus on getting better atm 💛

DrS44 · 23/11/2020 10:45

@Dex1521 keep the spirits up 😘

Bells20 · 23/11/2020 11:22

@jessi60 so sorry to hear you're still so unwell! Hopefully your GP has some helpful advice for you later. I have no explanation for the OPK results - I'd be inclined to go with what others are suggestions. Hopefully you'll feel better soon and ovulation will be on its way in no time.

@Dex1521 I'm with you there. since coming off the pill I've been HANGRY and definitely put on a few pounds. Thought I'd get back on it today with a workout first thing but my god, even with my best sports bra my boobs were killing me!

I got a temp rise this morning so hopefully that continues and my apps will start counting dpo. For those in TWW who need a distraction, there are so many wonderfully awful Christmas films on Netflix at the moment. I'm really enjoying working my way through them in my breaks from work.

PowerOfFlowers · 23/11/2020 11:53

I feel you @Dex1521 I put on a stone after coming off the pill. I then put on another stone after lockdown 1. I naively didn't expect to put on that much weight after going off the pill, but it was leading up to Christmas last year and I wasn't watching what I was eating so it all adds up 😩
Lost a stone now, another to go (unless I get a BFP!)

jessi60 · 23/11/2020 13:09

They basically think I have campylobacter. Might need to start some antibiotics. Feel slightly better the last 2 hours so hopefully things will improve🙁 I can’t really afford to lose anymore weight to be honest. I’d already lost some weight after having my implant out, coming off contraception made my appetite basically 0. Weird that it can affect people in so many ways.
God knows about my opk 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do think being ill can make dodgy results so this month probably isn’t the best for me. You would think with a 28 day cycle I would of ovulated by now if i did X

DrS44 · 23/11/2020 13:22

Just went to the loo and there was like 4/5 really small spots of blood... really hoping it's not AF 😭😭😭

DrS44 · 23/11/2020 13:22

@jessi60 I've just googled that and it sounds horrific! God I hope you're okay 💛💛💛
