Congrats to those with BFPs on the last thread there was a lot of you 🥳

CD1 and thoroughly disappointed 😞 had a feeling it was coming though...

@Sleeeeeepy sorry to hear you had to have a second round but glad it's sorted now. It does seem to be a never ending wait for cycles to get back to some normality post MMC intervention. Hope you're back on track soon.

@mrswilso really sorry AF arrived ☹️

3dpo here, think I have some kind of bug as I've been having dizzy spells and nausea since the weekend. I've had more ewcm today, same happened last month at the same time so maybe I haven't actually ovulated yet 🤔

@Sleeeeeepy sorry you had to go through that twice but 🤞🏻all sorted for you now!

@mrswilso stupid af always disappoints us with her visits

@bez91 i was so confused by my cycle last month, according to the opk and bbt I either didn't ovulate or ovulated twice 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm hoping to track better this month with the digital opk

@Marvellouslymadmum oh I'm glad it's not just me 😂 that makes it even more confusing for you do BBT too, I don't temp.

This has only started happening after my last MMC with the ewcm in what I think is the TWW! I am using the digital CB OPKs but stopped when I got my peak as I assume that was it. Will have to accost DH again tonight to make sure we've covered all bases 😆

@bez91 it's very confusing! The bbt and opk strips correlated too so I've no clue, I may not have ovulated at all so will see what happens this month 🤷🏼‍♀️
We are planning on doing the 3/4 times a week every week like the doc recommended this month - wish me luck 😂

Morning everyone! Hope ur all doing ok.
I'm new to temp charting so hoping there are some experts here.....
Does this look like I have ovulated?

Hey everyone- hope you are all doing good!

@Sleeeeeepy i am sorry you had to go through that, hope you feel ok x

I need some advice. I took an IC 2 weeks after bleeding started for my MMC to make sure it was negative and it was.

I think i ovulated around 5th or 6th Feb based on EWCM, so i started testing with cheapies at expected 8dpo up to today (14dpo)... all had vvfls. But they arent getting darker.

I also tested this morning with FRER and got a faint but definite pink line.

I dont know what to think, is this left over HCG, am i pregnant, is this likely a chemical...

I dont exactly know when my period was due as i was on the pill for years, conceived our first real cycle off the pill so i havent actually had a chance to track.

@Dogmom92 did you do a frer when you were testing post MMC bleeding? Did you do any since? When I went to the hospital for the second scan they did a test and said it was negative but my home tests and then my blood test showed positive, and there was still some retained tissue. How long has it been since your bleeding stopped? This must be so confusing for you x

No i just used the cheapy strip test. I had used a few throughout the miscarriage cause i wanted to see if it was dropping sooner or later and it went from definite line to nothing.

They never asked me to come in for a scan at all, the only scan i had was my 12 week app when we found out it was a MMC, i then waited and the bleeding started 4 days after (they wanted me to come in for a scan 2 weeks after initial scan to see if there was any growth before they advised on any sort of miscarriage management). No real contact or appointments with hosp after that.

Im thinking ill test again in 2 days and see if any darker. If not ill ask the doc/EPU (who would be best?) about testing blood and maybe a scan to confirm if any left over.

@Dogmom92 if the lines don't get darker I'd call the EPU and see what they say. My hcg dropped massively after the first medical management but it never went away completely. They said I could either just wait and it would come out in the end or have more treatment, but they also have me antibiotics in case it was infected. I really hope they do get darker and it's good news for you

Morning everyone! Hope you are all doing OK today. Have to say huge respect for all of you that go through the TWW, time is dragging for me! AF due tomorrow and managed to hold off testing.

Numerous symptoms that could be either AF or a BFP! Going to try hold off testing so I'm not disappointed if AF is on its way.

@NatJ24 how you are you going today, how many Dpo is that for you now?

@Sleeeeeepy thanks for the advice! I can only think the worst and just be surprised and happy if it gets darker!

@elsimo it does look like you have but to be honest I'm not the best person to ask as last month it seemed I ovulated or almost did twice according to my bbt and opk

@Dogmom92 I would test again and see if it gets darker too 🤞🏻 for you!

@ELMcg I am the same and usually manage to not test until af is late, though I do get tempted as soon as she hasn't turned up on the day expected 😂

@ELMcg Hii! Happy Friday! I can't believe how slow time is going. I am 10dpo today or there abouts. Premom is saying I am 9dpo going off the easy at home opks so I am somewhere in between the 2 haha. I feel OK. Sore boobs, had a few different sharp pains and twinges in my hips and sides and low down, on and off. Its hard to know, like you said either good signs or getting ready for AF!!! Currently cycle day 29 but I think my cycle would be slightly longer with ovulating late so AF not due quite yet I dont think! Keep thinking I might test tomorrow but also nervous 🙈
You are doing well holding out too!

@NatJ24 I've had a few false starts (was convinced AF was on it's way last night, was fully expecting to wake up to it!) I am trying hard to hold off, no sore boobs for me yet and that was the tell tale sign last time but I was about 3 days late before that appeared.

@Marvellouslymadmum I am adamant I don't test until AF is late too! As you say so hard though!

Another question for you all? I have the weirdest feeling low down near my bikini line, its like a pulsing vibrating/fluttering feeling?

Anyone get anything like this?

Update - just got some spotting, im expecting the start of a period (app predicted tomorrow would be first day anyway).

In a way im glad - at least next time ill be sure its a real positive instead of immediately doubting!

@elsimo is this around ovulation time - could be something to do with it? I noted when i was pregnant a twinge around ovulation time - dont know if it was ovulation or implantation. I got it again this cycle so im guessing it was due to ovulation.

@elsimo I actually get that quite frequently! Very much reminds of early baby kicks. I have no idea what it's linked to, I haven't noticed any pattern re:cycle

@Dogmom92 I have no idea whats going on with ovulation this month, got a positive opk on cd4 but no ovulation pain which is usually really bad.

My last MC at the end of November has totally messed my cycles up!

@vitaminb33 it's such a bizzare feeling but ur right it is like early flutters which is obv impossible xx

Hi I have a question. I had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago when I was 6 weeks but I actually think pregnancy ended earlier than that due to symptoms disappearing. I counted the start of the miscarriage as day 1 of cycle, that would mean I'm ovulating now. Is that possible? I've had 2 negative tests so hcg no longer in my system.

@klm018 sorry for your loss, yes that's perfectly possible if it's 2 weeks since CD1 as that would equate to about a normal cycle.

Thanks for the reply. I just wondered if it would take my cycle longer to return. I'm quite happy if it is as I feel totally fine in myself.

@elsimo I've had that weird feeling too, it's an odd one! But I couldn't correlate it to a particular time of the month as it's not really often enough for that

Hi lovelies,

Do many of you temp? My only experience with it is actually from using it as a method of birth control so I'm a bit out of the habit now.

Wondering what people's thoughts are on whether it's worth it for you personally. I'm all stocked up on ovulation tests but don't want to get obsessed!

Hoping for good things for all of you xx

@minthumbugs I do, I've been taking bbt for a few months now and started opk last month though they were strips and I couldn't really make out what was going on but I'm using cb digital ones this month. I do find it helps using both together
