@Dex1521 my social media has been unusually quiet on the pregnancy announcement front recently but I did finally catch up on the bake off final today and when they did the follow ups one of the contestants had a baby since the show and I cried just looking at the baby. That's where I am in life at the moment- crying at the existence of babies I have absolutely no connection to 😂. Feel like a hormonal mess since coming off the pill!

@Bells20 I’m honestly the same it’s even worse when I see them in real life I just think why can’t I have one ☹️ It’s crazy how jealous I get when really I should be lol

Morning ladies. Hope everyone is ok!
Been quiet on here recently as 4dpo, nothing to report-no symptoms, twinges etc (as expected) trying not to think about it too much until at least 6dpo!
@Bells20 my OH is exactly the same. I keep trying to start a conversation about it, I was asking him the other day how we would announce it if I was and he is having none of it until he knows for sure😅
@Dex1521 good luck today if you decide to do the frer 🤞
Xx

Did the FRER and a BFN which was expected tbh slightly disappointed and so Is my OH but both trying to see the positives in it like will give us more time to move house etc. we are putting an offer in hopefully this week so least if there is problems with that we won’t be in a panic to move before baby is here. Also I next ovulate on Xmas eve so I can still have a baileys or two lol let’s see if AF arrives this week then

Sorry to hear that @Dex1521, you are still only 10DPO so don’t give up hope! That’s still quite early for testing! 🤞🏼 How are your temps looking?

Nothing to report from me today, temps dipped a small bit this morning but they are still high!
Tbh I think I’m out for this month as well, have a gut feeling I am not and literally have NO symptoms! Had a few the couple of days post ovulation but symptoms are getting less & less as the days go by! 😔
Hoping I get a decent LP anyway, anything over 10 days is good right?

Also @Dex1521 look at that link @Bells20 sent yesterday, 34% of people get a false negative at 10DPO, that’s 1 in every 2.9 people! 🙈

Hello 😀
How are you all? How are you by today @Ams19?
Definitely not out yet @Dex1521 - wait a few more days, then test if you are late. 🤞🏻 AF stays away for you!

Honestly @positivitytree2020 - your graph has helped me understand my own! Thanks! Your temp is still high though so that's a good thing. When do you plan on testing?

🤞🏻 for some BFPs in the next two weeks for us here!

1dpo over here and the start on my TWW. Temp is going up. Going to be a long two weeks isn't it 🙈
In my mind, if it doesn't happen this month, its ok - I can have drinks over Xmas. I'll be ovulating around NYE so that will make it fun! 😆

Still time @Dex1521 🤞🤞 And as you say, if it's not your month, there are still some positives- less pressure with the house and you can indulge more in Xmas festivities😁🍸 (this will keep me sane if I get a bfn).
@PowerOfFlowers yay! It feels good to even get into the TWW, here's hoping with lockdown lifting etc there will be plenty of distractions to get us through 🙈
In my first cycle I had that weird feeling that I was pregnant, like an instinct (which was way off) this time round I feel zilch. Hoping that's a good sign 🤞😆
Xx

@PowerOfFlowers glad my chart is a help to you! ☺️ And welcome to the tww club! 😂 I actually find lockdown is not helpful for the tww, working from home means I just have way too much to think about it! 😂 would be much easier if life was normal to kinda put it out of head and distract yourself! 🙈

Ya my temp is still high thank god, don’t like the dip though was hoping it might just stay around the same level just for my own sanity! 😔 Was planning on testing 11DPO, I’m currently on 8DPO! I’ll see what the next few days hold if the temp keeps dropping it prob means AF is on the way! 🙄

Yeah @Foxl2222 and @PowerOfFlowers I keep forgetting I’m only 10dpo so going to wait for AF this Friday and if she doesn’t show I’ll test again next Sunday. I still have an awful pain in my head and teeth constant dull head ache and can’t eat on the left side of my mouth and left side of my face is so sore which I’m thinking now is a sinus infection not PG 😂

Keeping my hopes up even if it’s not this cycle looking forward to starting again. I haven’t been taking BBT this millionth after about 4 days I kept forgetting lol so will definitely do it next cycle

@positivitytree2020 I'm feeling the same as you, not a lot going on today symptom wise but temperatures are still high. Last month I only had an 8 day LP! Obviously I'll be thrilled if I manage to fall pregnant this month but if not; I'm just hoping for a decent length luteal phase and will be looking forward to some drinks over Christmas. Also agree about wfh, i defo wouldn't be POAS half as much if I were in the office and not at home haha

@Dex1521 fingers crossed for you lovely, it's not over until AF comes defo try again in a couple of days. @AMS19 got a bfn at 9dpo but got a BFP later on!

@PowerOfFlowers @Foxl2222 hoping your TWW goes well!!

Does anyone here have the FF upgraded version? My free trial just ran out and wondering if it's worth paying?

@Bells20 great that the temps are still up! 😊 what is a decent length luteal phase? 10 days plus?

Yes definitely, way too much time on hands to be symptom spotting too! 🙈
I was thinking the same, would be nice to have a few drinks over Christmas if it doesn’t work out this month! 😂 would be very hard to hide it over Christmas ppl would be suspicious if I was saying no to drinks and it would be too soon to tell people! 😂
Although if I fall next month then I’d be due the week before my sisters wedding! 😭 so kinda hoping this month works out, although I’m not hopefully! Feel like AF could be on way! 😔

@Bells20 also I’m using free version of FF and works fine for me, couldn’t be bothered paying! 😂

Hi ladies. Everyone's charts are looking beautiful 😍 im expecting a bus loads of BFPs coming through the door in the next 2 weeks please!

I'm okay thank you @powerofflowers the nausea is off the scale today and have actually gagged/heaved a few times 🤢 really hoping it is a good sign, but not getting my hopes up ahead on the scan Tuesday. In 48hrs I'll have a better understanding if things are progressing as they should and can relax about the bleeding or can start to accept this one wasn't meant to be. I'll be pissed off if this sickness is for nothing 😂😂

Morning ladies!
Unfortunately I think I’m out this cycle, 2nd day in a row that temps are dropping so I say AF is on the way in the next few days.
Was hoping yesterday’s dip was a one-off but doesn’t seem so!

Still above cover line but pattern is only heading in one direction, and I’ve heard it’s gradual! 😔
Feeling annoyed, not sure what else I can do next time other than keep trying! I’m not overly surprised tho coz I didn’t feel PG at all!!
Roll on Cycle 4! 🥺

How is everyone else doing?

@positivitytree2020 that's still considerably higher than your cover line - but I think it's great you've ovulated and got a really good cycle there, so if it doesn't happen this time round then cycle 4 is just around the corner 🤗

@Ams19 hope your scan goes well tomorrow, thinking of you. Agree would be really quite unfair to have all that sickness for nothing!!

I am booked in for bloods and AMH test tomorrow. I was going to see how this cycle went and then I just didn't do that at all and spoke to my dr today. Obvs i have since convinced myself I'm infertile and googled nothing helpful 😂 but on my way home from gym I have told myself to be more positive and be happy we will at least know if there are issues and get moving super quickly on them.

Morning ladies

@positivitytree2020 grrrr annoying about the temp but agree you're definitely not 100% out. Let's see what tomorrow temp brings, you never know!

@CardioQueen I think it is great to get the ball rolling even though hopefully you don't need it. A lot of people I know have fallen pregnant as soon as they've started investigating things. It is weird, it is like they start to believe it won't happen then it does. The mind is very powerful! At least tests will either give you the confidence nothing is wrong or give you something that you can treat. So win win! And thanks, will definitely feel better with whatever tomorrow brings, would just rather know now if this pregnancy isn't viable so we can get the ball rolling to try again!

Still time @positivitytree2020 ! I'm not familiar with temp checking so don't know what that means, but unless AF arrives, hang in there! I suppose if it's going to arrive, the sooner the better so you can move forward to the next cycle! 🤞🤞

Also thinking about you @Ams19 I'm sure you will be fine, but the peace of mind will be worth it! Are you still doing the pg tests?

5dpo now- still nothing to report. Zero symptoms or feeling pg 🙈

Xx

@CardioQueen ya it’s still higher than cover line but it’s defo starting to creep down! 😒 I’m sure once I get over myself I’ll see the positives, right now I’m just pissed off! 😂 it is good that I have one proper graph at least! 🙈

@AMS19 Ya I’ll see what happens tomorrow but I’m not hopeful, it’s defo on it’s way down! Can feel it! 😒 best of luck with your scan tomorrow!! 😊 hopefully it’ll give you some comfort and reassurance! 😊

Thanks @Foxl2222, normally when the temps start decreasing it means AF on the way in next few days! Temps need to stay high! 😐 woo 5DPO, keep us updated as to how your getting on! 😊

Yes @Ams19 that's exactly it - whether there's a problem or not, we'll know either way. And yes I've def heard the same with lots of people as soon as they start looking into stuff! I understand, I would feel the same, not long now and you'll have more answers.

That's fair enough @positivitytree2020 - you're allowed to have your bit of frustration/upset if it hasn't worked out this time. It makes AF coming and going quite exciting though as it's a fresh chance to start again ☺️

@CardioQueen That's exactly it, once you know you're out then you're just willing AF to come coz then it's a brand new cycle and another fresh start! 😂 Hate these days in between! 😂
I'm 9DPO so just hoping for an okayish LP, paranoid it'll be too short after what my GP said to me this month!
I might do a FRER later and then when it's negative just move on and forget about it!

@positivitytree2020 I remember last month @AMS19 was worried about a temp drop and pretty much ruled herself out but look what happened! I'm a little unsure about my temp this morning I had quite a restless night so not sure if I got a solid block of 3 hours before I checked my temp, seems to still be fairly high but I'll see what it does tomorrow. I'm really trying to hold out until Thursday before testing, hopefully AF will hold off too!

@AMS19 speaking of, hoping your appointment goes well tomorrow!

@Bells20 Well I took an FRER there just to put my mind at rest and it was BFN as expected! 😂 not the faintest hint of a line! 😂 So just gonna move on now and hope for the next cycle!

Your chart is looking good, seems to be keeping consistent which is a good sign! have my fingers crossed for you! Mine were 2 fairly obvious dips in a row and a BFN! Lol

Not much to report here. CD 25. Should get my period in 3 days if I have my normal 28 day cycle which makes me 12 DPO. But with the later peak it’s got me down as 4DPO today 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who knows which is the right one 🤣 x

Hi all! 😀
3dpo over here and cd22 and not much to report either. Temp is steadily high. I didn't have much twinges during ovulation this cycle, which is weird. Maybe I'm more aware though so I'm being chill. Zen. Completely chilled. (Can you tell? 🤣🤣🙈) we dtd 9 times between the 14th and yesterday, just to make sure we had it all covered. Had the cat scratching at door for a few of them (instant mood killer!).

Let's 🤞🏻 for some positive bfp's in the next few weeks for us all! If not, then we can enjoy Xmas and go again!!
