@CardioQueen just so you know where we are

Here we go ladies! The last thread was a lucky one so let's keep up the success on this one!

@Valerie830 Good luck!! You posted at 11:11 aswell, call me a nut case but I love these angel numbers 🤞🏼🤍 X

@Valerie830 good luck!

Can I ask how long you’ve been ttc and also where you on the pill or other birth control before ttc

Let us know how you get on with testing x

@DrS44 @Emmgrem @Foxl2222 @positivitytree2020 for any of you ladies who are tracking BBT when do you think you’re going to stop tracking after ovulation or are you going to continue for your whole cycle?

I can’t decide if I should or not after say 7DPO my reasons for stopping would be I would get obsessive with it and disappointed if it dropped knowing af was on her way but reasons for continuing would be so I have a full cycle tracked to look back on if I don’t get PG this time round.

@Dex1521 @Emmgrem amazing charts!

@drs44 can you share your chart again and I'll see if it is clear why you don't have the crosshairs?

@AMS19 I've just lied to it to get the red line to thicken 🤣 claiming I had EWCM when I didn't! I also changed an earlier temp as at the start of my cycle I wasn't as consistent with times! Xxx

@Dex1521 not sure if you seen my earlier convo about BBT but I'm bailing on it for that reason x

@DrS44 it won't be the EWCM...I didnt have any. I think it is because your temps are all different times. Change your temps all to the same time of the morning and you'll get the cross hairs I reckon. The little triangles means your temps aren't registering a pattern. Round dots mean they are registering all at the same time!

@DrS44 I was going to say the same about the triangles and dots change the times before ov and you should get cross hairs. You definitely had a rise after ov so I don’t think it should matter changing the days before

I think I’m going to bail too I’d rather live in my little bubble of thinking I’m PG for as long as possible lol will stop around 7dpo as long as my readings are consistent up until then. This cycle I’m a lot more relaxed I’m 2dpo today and my last cycle I was doing IC tests at this point 🤣 so far this cycle I’ve not gone near any tests or had an urges to do one

@DrS44 Honestly I’m praying it happens for us this cycle so that means all us north east-ers @jessi60 will have babies due at the same time 🤣 could you imagine lol

Ok I've done that but still no cross hairs?! I'm definitely doing something stupid xxx

@DrS44 that is so weird. Are your chart settings set to advance?

@AMS19 you're actually a pro! I have no idea what I'm doing 🤣🤣 it's worked now 🥳

@Dex1521 @DrS44 That would be lush! Keeping my fingers crossed for yous.

I can’t help with the temperature chart things cause I’m clueless 🤣🤣

@drs44 whoop! Much better 🙂 xx

I had a cheap £1 pack of freedom pregnancy tests. So I did one today and the line is like the faintest line ever so now I’m really panicking ☹️ X

@jessi60 I’m sure it’s all fine. Maybe buy a digital or FRER a better branded one and use for reassurance. I’d stay away from £1 pregnancy tests. It’s some are nearly £15 a test how can a company make them so cheaply but effective if you get me

@jessi60 I looked up the freedom test reviews and there is so many bad reviews on them telling people to stay clear of them so I wouldn’t worry too much they don’t seem too good

Thanks for your help @AMS19

On the test notes I'm bringing some FRERs home, and I've one CB Digital how many weeks one?! When do you take them?! Are they for later? Xxxx

I mean I think I’m exaggerating when I say barely visible because you can see it I just thought it would be a lot darker. I don’t think I’m as far along as my last period is making me. Cause I’m convinced it was when we dtd on the 25th November and then it takes a few days for implantation so maybe that’s why🤷🏻‍♀️🤞🏼
I ordered some more first response but just the normal ones so I’ll check using them when they come. Christ I can’t cope with his 🤣 x

Might just stick to ovulation tests, look at this bad boy 🤣

It didn’t attach 😂 (this is an ovulation test though lol)

@DrS44 no probs. Save your CB digitals until your period is late! Just use a FRER to start with

@jessi60 how far gone do you think you are?

@AMS19 Well I don’t know how it all works. My last period was 6th November so that’s 6 weeks today. But I had that opk peak on the 25th November and that was the only day we dtd. Before that it was well over a week before hand because I wasn’t well.

So implantation says it’s commonly between 8-9 days. Soo even a week would take me to 3 weeks yesterday. I know you add the whole 2 weeks thing on. But maybe my levels are still low. God knows it’s like guess work! X

@jessi60 okay so let's go with you ovulated on 25th then you're about 3 weeks post ovulation so yeah let's say 5 weeks pregnant. ICs are gonna be pretty light at that stage. They are crap to be honest, mine rarely got strong. The 3rd one down on my photo would have been around 5 weeks. Every test will be totally different though and so it is so hard to compare. I would stick to one brand if you want to monitor progression xx

@jessi60 sorry also to add if you look how light the one before was! Shows how quickly it can change. So I really wouldn't worry at this stage at all xx

@Dex1521 @DrS44 So how come you guys would stop temping? I hadn't even thought of it.. Is it because you don't want to be disappointed if temps start to drop? I think I will keep temping because if I do get AF then I want to have one proper complete cycle to base everything on and compare to next time round. Especially as it's my first cycle and a bit of a weird chart anyway I think, so trying not to get my hopes up too much (though it is hard!)
