New Cycle starting 13/01/21

Just wondering if anyone wants to join me for a new cycle starting yesterday (or thereabouts)? AF reared her ugly head yesterday so it's new cycle time. This will be my 3rd cycle after a MMC in October last year. Let's support each other through this!

When is AF due for you? @KeepSmiling89

My temp dropped again, below the cover line, so I assume the witch is on her way today. My temp still doesn’t usually drop this early but I’ve not temped enough in the past to know if it does it on occasion.

Okay, so I realize that I’ve already posted a test image here this cycle but I got my dates really wrong, so no wonder it was negative!! Although, can please someone confirm if I have line eyes again? I am actually 8DPO this time so I was going to start testing today anyway... it’s the invert image that I feel like I can see something on?

‘I will not test again until at least 11dpo’ lasted all of 24 hours 🙈 tried FRER today at 8dpo and it couldn’t be whiter! Why do we do this to ourselves?? X

Amz6219 · 07/02/2021 13:06

I think I see a line @mollyaimee!!

mollyaimee · 07/02/2021 13:14

@Amz6219 I’m exactly the same as you in terms of testing, told myself I wouldn’t test until at least 10DPO! I’m glad someone else can see something and I’m not going crazy?! It’s definitely easier to see in person... I probs should wait a couple of days now but I know I’ll definitely test in the morning again, fingers crossed it’s still there! Definitely not getting any hopes up yet!! I have to say though, mine was super super white and stark negative yesterday, so there’s always hope!!!

Amz6219 · 07/02/2021 13:19

Definitely something there! That at 8dpo has made me even more depressed 😩😆 they’re 20mIU I think aren’t they... FRER is super sensitive (6mIU) and it was whiter than white!

I know it’s early but definitely not holding out much hope! X

mollyaimee · 07/02/2021 13:24

@Amz6219 I’m not totally convinced it will be there tomorrow still so I’ll keep you updated! I thought I saw something at 10DPO last cycle but it turned out to be nothing... I think they’re 10mIU but I am tempted to try a FRER tomorrow morning, but only have one left so don’t want to waste it!! You’re defo not out yet at all, I literally said the same thing yesterday (although I could still be out!) fingers crossed for you!!

Amz6219 · 07/02/2021 13:45

I definitely think you’ll get a line on an FRER! 😬

Ah thanks! Going to try super hard to hold off til mid week now! X

KeepSmiling89 · 07/02/2021 19:58

@thislittlebird AF due in 5 days according to Flo app, so Friday. Will test then.

@mollyaimee I see something there! Test again in a couple of days and fingers crossed for you.

I got my BFP at 12dpo last time I was pregnant (ended in MMC...sorry if I've already mentioned that!) So there's still time for them to show and, as always, it ain't over until AF arrives.

Amz6219 · 07/02/2021 21:53

Well my holding off til mid week didn’t last 😂 tried FRER again and I’m sure I see a vvvvv faint line... maybe just an indent but going to try with FMU tomorrow I think (if I can sleep!!) x

mollyaimee · 08/02/2021 06:45

@Amz6219 oooo exciting - let us know how you get on with that! After seeing faint lines on 3 cheapies yesterday, couldn’t see a line this morning on frer so really not holding out much hope😭 fingers crossed for you though!!

Amz6219 · 08/02/2021 08:17

Think I see something.. looks great on the pic but vvv faint pink on real life, pic was taken in the time frame.. thoughts? I’m losing my mind! X

thislittlebird · 08/02/2021 08:22

Yeah I think I see something @Amz6219, not sure if i can see any colour though 🤔. What day are you at now?

KeepSmiling89 · 08/02/2021 08:23

@Amz6219 I definitely see something there. No experience with first response tests though so I'll say a tentative congrats and test again tomorrow or Wednesday.

OP posts:
Amz6219 · 08/02/2021 08:44

That’s what I thought @thislittlebird, it does look a bit pink in real life but pic looks grey 🤔 don’t want to get my hopes up! I’m only 9dpo so I guess if I try again in a couple of days it’ll either be darker or obviously a no.

Is it Wednesday yet?? 🙈 x

thislittlebird · 08/02/2021 08:46

How’s the chart looking now? @Amz6219

I’m 10dpo today and just keeping my fingers crossed for the next two days that AF doesn’t come.

Amz6219 · 08/02/2021 08:58

I don’t think it’s telling me much yet really @thislittlebird other than confirmed ovulation, still trying to learn but I’m not sure... how’s yours looking? X

Yeah a bit early maybe. Mine is doing funny things and I’m trying not to read into it too much because when I do this I end up disappointed. Instead of my normal sharp drop off it’s doing a slow decline to the cover line and then a small rise today. I’m ignoring that because it’s probably more likely an iffy temp.

Amz6219 · 08/02/2021 10:07

Interesting! Do you normally start getting a sharp drop off by now?

I’ve not had an implantation dip which is making me think it’s an indent on the test x

Amz6219 · 08/02/2021 10:27

*grey (not great)

thislittlebird · 08/02/2021 10:58

I wouldn’t worry about the lack of dip, it can mean nothing or something tmk.

In my couple of old charts it usually drops off pretty suddenly either cd1 or the day before. Nowhere near the cover line. But those were messy oral temps so maybe they’re a little off.

I do usually suffer from hormonal migraines and they’ve been less frequent around cd1 lately. Wondering if my hormones are slowly changing (causing temps to descend gradually) rather than sudden drop offs and that’s why no migraines/less severe ones. Not sure.

Amz6219 · 08/02/2021 12:06

Ah ok, everything I was reading pointed at implantation dips so I was a bit worried. Maybe I’ll not look into it too much yet.

Promising that they’re not dipping though? Keeping everything crossed x

mollyaimee · 08/02/2021 12:53

@Amz6219 I can definitely see a line on that test you did this morning!! Interesting to see how it progresses over the next few days!

thislittlebird · 08/02/2021 13:03

Yeah, fingers are crossed for tomorrow's temp/no AF today. But it is so frustrating how these odd things happen that don't normally happen and then more often than not result in AF Confused

KeepSmiling89 · 08/02/2021 14:09

Hi everyone.
Random post because I won't have anything to update until I test on Friday (if I can wait that long!) But just want to say thanks for keeping me and each other company on our TTC journeys in this thread. This is my first thread with over 100 posts now which makes me weirdly happy!
Shall we keep it going once this cycle is finished if AF arrives?
