@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!

Temp has been dropping slowly for past two days. I don’t think this is a good thing maybe AF is on her way early 😢 I’m only 5dpo so feel it shouldn’t be dropping this early already for an implantation dip. Honestly feel like I’m out again this month 😫 I just have no luck - I never thought ttc would be this difficult but I was so naive. How do all these teen pregnancies happen but it won’t happen for a loving supportive family like us 🤬

@Dex1521 I've attached my chart below. I was convinced it wasn't looking good for me, I paid for the upgrade on FF and compared my chart to others. It looked nothing at all like other pregnant charts by 7dpo 😂 but here we are! Check out that temp decline early on! I don't wanna get your hopes up too high obviously but I also don't want you to rule yourself out just yet! Also I haven't really been tracking BBT recently hence why it's tailed off a bit towards the end! But hope this is helpful to see.

I know @Dex1521 it is so frustrating! We spend most of our early years trying not to get pregnant, thinking it's so easy! My ex a few years back got a girl pregnant from a one night stand when we were on a 3 week "break"- he found out 6 weeks after we got back together. Blessing in disguise in the end, but I just think what are the bloody chances?!?! 😂
🤞 it's an implantation dip!!
I've only started opk's today, CD9🙈 slacking lol but hoping this is our month a lucky one, potentially conceive on xmas day😂🤞

Exactly @Emmgrem got to take the positives, long LP is great 🙌

If it wasn't for lock down I'd be dragging OH out every night of the week saying, we need to make the most of our freedom lol 😂🙈 xx

@Bells20 that reassures me a bit seeing your chart so hopefully it’s normal - I really want that green line lol. Yeah I’ve been looking at FF pregnant charts on google images and they look so healthy and strong compared to mine. I’m going to test on Xmas day I’ve decided at 11dpo and will keep note of any symptoms after 7dpo to compare to what I had last cycle.

This morning I’ve been getting a funny shooting/stabbing pain a bit higher up than a cramp would be but lower than my belly. It’s not painful just funny feeling when it happens. Maybe it’s the little egg moving along 🤣 or I’ll tell myself that to keep my hopes up haha

@Emmgrem honestly it makes me sick seeing all these heavily pregnant teens hanging around town doing all sorts they shouldn’t like smoking - doesn’t help I live in a town where teenage pregnancy seems to be in the in thing or maybe I just notice it more lol

@Emmgrem lots of reasons really! But the main one being I'm at home for Christmas and I don't want to test Christmas Day as I'll be really sad if it's negative and won't be able to keep my mouth shut if it's positive. Likewise, I want to have the space and time to digest whatever the result is with my partner. And we are staying at our wedding venue the 26th so thought it would be best to wait til then.

I'll have a few Christmas Day but not many, as I'll be seeing my extended family and there's no way (antibiotics or not!) I'll get away with not having a couple!

Also when I test, if it's positive I want it to be as dark as possible! I don't want to have to squint or it be too faint and then not get excited. I want my OH to believe it too 🤣 otherwise he will just be like let's wait a few more days and see 🙄 he's very sensible and rarely gets overly excited so at 13 DPO I would hope to see a strong(ish) line if I was pregnant.

To be honest though I really think I'm out. I'm having mild cramps again this morning and I'm pretty sure I had that last time! Raging if it is AF as it will mean another very short luteal phase. I'm really not symptom spotting at all just enjoying Christmas and letting what will be be!

I'll post back if AF shows up soon, if not it's unlikely I'll have any updates til the 26th 🙈 xxxx

@Dex1521 Your chart still looks good to me! Don't get disheartened yet!

We are cycle buddies so I'm 5DPO too and thinking of testing Xmas morning, so 11DPO too.

My chart is nowhere near as good as yours. Dropped this morning, still above cover line but all my post ov temps are just hovering around the cover line. I know I have the capacity for them to get much higher like they weirdly were on my AF though 🤷🏻‍♀️

I did expect more of a rise but my DH was away last night so I can only think, perhaps I'm cooler without him in the bed like usual 🤔

@Dex1521 mine also started to creep back down then shot back up. Then had a huge implantation dip on the same day as my BFP. If you look at the start of my chart is looks similar to yours...

@Ams19 what do all the dotted lines on yours mean? Is that where you skipped testing some days? I wondering whether I should have done that on the days I was drinking the night before 🙈

@Emmgrem yeah where I was drinking or didn't get a solid 4 hours before testing I would just skip. It is better to skip to see a proper pattern that have a non accurate one in there that distorts it!

Morning 😀 Both of your charts look @Emmgrem and @Dex1521 Don't give up hope just yet, there is plenty of time. Look at mine - it was up and down everyday until I got my bfp. Think your idea of doing a positive list if it's bfn is such a good idea - I thought exactly the same. Mine was - I get to drink over Xmas, eat pate, I won't be huge and hot over the summer months etc. 🤞🏻 for all of you over the next few weeks. We're all here ready to listen and talk etc 😀

Ooh I've just been given my 12 week scan date! Literally a message just now. 5th Feb! Eek!!

Any of the bfp ladies also having trouble going to the toilet? (For a no2!) Tmi. Sorry 🙈 I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow and ever since finding out I've been a bit constipated 🙈

I might put my midwife appointment back as I’m convinced I’m not as far along😂 x

What makes you think that @jessi60 ?

Because I think it must of been when we dtd on the 25th November because before that it was over a week beforehand. So then implantation is week on average, brings it to 2nd Decemberish. So then it’s not even been 3 weeks since then 😂
And my clear blue only said 1-2 weeks and I’m scared to do it again. I know it goes off your last period but that was 3 weeks before we actually dtd 🤣 xx

@PowerOfFlowers

You are the same as me @jessi60 - 26th November is when we dtd that 'did it' and I'm 5 weeks tomorrow. How far along did you think you were? If I were you I'd still go to your appointment - they will be able to tell you hopefully how far along you are and put your mind at ease. Hah I haven't tested since two weeks tomorrow (the last of my digitals) - I know how you feel!! My boobs are SO sore now so I know its ok, plus a little nausea has started, low energy, up and down mood and not being able to go 🙈

@Emmgrem I love that we are cycle buddies! Will definitely have to update each other when we test. Fingers crossed 🤞 for us both ☺️

@AMS19 @PowerOfFlowers that’s really helpful seeing your charts and put my mind at rest. I’ll keep my hopes up until The 25th! But if it’s a BFN I’ll test the day AF is due (29th) if she doesn’t show up by lunch time really hope she decides to go on holiday for 9months 😂

Is it possible to socially distance from AF?? 🤣

@PowerOfFlowers I think it’s cause my clear blue only said 1-2 weeks when I did it again on a Thursday so that’s what’s making me doubt things and be worried xx

Does anyone know if you can take co-codamol during TWW im 5dpo. I’ve had a really sore knee the past few days but today is really bad and I’m prone to sinus infections so get a pain under my eye/in teeth which is happening too. Generally feeling rubbish so wanted to take some cocodamol as paracetamols don’t do anything for me

@Dex1521 the main thing you can't take is an anti inflammatory- so can't take ibuprofen. Not sure other than that but reckon you'll be fine. At 5DPO it won't have implanted yet so no connection between you and the baby

@Dex1521 Yeah course you can Xx

My boobs are so sore it’s ridiculous. I’ve got breast implants aswell so god knows how big I’m going to end up 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ X

Not TTC related...everyone watching the news ready for the 4pm announcement? If we get banned from seeing family then that solves my worry over an early announcement 😭😭😂😂😂

Guess who took a test at 5dpo 🙄 can anyone else see a T line or have a gone completely mad 🤣 this is why I need a hobby to distract myself from doing these things 🤣

Actually never mind I have lost the plot there is definitely nothing there when I’ve looked more at it some more
