Entering the TWW with BBT charts

[Cakelaur]

I FINALLY got my rise! Positive opk was 3 days later than usual and ovulation seems later than usual too after the peak! 🙈

BUT I'm in the TWW officially!! Who's with me?! I plan to analyse everything and I'll probably test early with cheapies for a laugh! No point in pretending I'll be calm and controlled throughout this TWW!!

Officially 3rd month TTC baby number 3. But had a few months before that "seeing what happens" DS 2 and DS 11months.

Anyone wanna embrace the crazy with me?!

Amazing! Congratulations @cakelaur

That emoji is meant to be a smile but shows as cake to me...this app is so weird at times.

Also, and totally not the point but are those sheets from Debenhams (possibly Jasper Conran) because we have very similar ones 🤣

Haha! It shows as a smiley to me! Although cake is very apt!!

And yes! I think the sheets may be. They're defo from Debenhams.

How you getting on?

Phew! Emojis seem to have hidden meaning on here and I always worry its the wrong one!

I'm feeling like my cramps are more PMS-like now, maybe in my head because of the spotting yesterday, so it's just a case of waiting. It's annoying because I feel pretty nauseous right now but it's probably a combination of being tired and a bit stressed with work.

Had a bit of a drop today but still reasonably high so think the drop will come tomorrow/Sunday morning which is annoying as I'd like confirmation today so I can have a wine!

What's your EDD? It's a really strong line!

@Cakelaur congratulations!!!!!!

Aww huge congratulations @Cakelaur 🤗 such lovely news!

I got my flashing smiley this morning too, yay!

Double celebrations with cake 🎂😊

Woo!! @Natalie3387 go go go!! How long do you usually have flashing for, before static?

It's only my 3rd cycle of tracking so 1st cycle it went straight to static from the blank circle, 2nd month I had 2 flashing faces before static! I was just so pleased to see it this morning after having peaks really early in my cycle the last 2 months!

How are you feeling? Have you had any early symptoms? Have you told DP yet? So exciting!

I woke up at 5am cos my baby woke (I have a 1yr old) and thought is bite the bullet. Assumed I was out cos I had my usual spotting at 7dpo.
But it all stopped and tingly boobs. Had suspicions yesterday... but it was babies 1st birthday, so wanted to have a drink with family without them knowing.
Was too scared to poas.. but cracked this morning and then woke DH. He's thrilled! 🥰 our final baby! I plan to enjoy this one!! 🤞🏻

@Cakelaur omg congratulations!! That's such a strong line for 11DPO.. I remember you saying you were really scared to test and see a negative. You must be thrilled! 💗 I'm testing at 11DPO too 🤞

@Cakelaur congratulations. That's a nice strong line.

@Emmgrem your chart is looking good.

@Natalie3387 EPO can delay your ovulation but great your getting flashing smilies now!

I have no idea what's going on. OPKs have remained low with barely a hint of a second line. I had the starting of EWCM yesterday 🤷🏻‍♀️. My temp has increased this morning as has my RHR which usually means I've ovulated. Annoyed that DP didn't want to come to bed last night but managed to DTD early this morning. If I have ovulated overnight I hope he has fast swimmers!

Well thats me definitely out.

In a bid to take a positive out of it, it means I can have a glass of wine tonight.

Have contacted the doc and now have a telephone appointment booked to discuss any available options and will keep trying meantime. Onwards and upwards for next month.

Good luck all to all still waiting xx

@ContadoraExplorer really sorry. I'll join you in that glass of wine. Have you been trying for long?

@Natalie3387 having spoken to the Dr's I'm not sure they will be too useful! I'm having estradiol, fsh, thyroid, kidney function etc however they've booked me in for the week after next. My understanding is the first three should be done at the start of the cycle days 2-4. Have asked the reception to ask the Dr, but we will see...so far they're saying it doesn't matter and they're very busy (which I do understand)

@a1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I had a chemical back in October, 1st month of trying again. Cycles been erratic ever since so, just from reading on here etc, I wonder if they'll at least be able to do bloods and check everything looks OK. I'm 37 so I know it's likely to be harder than last time and we've not been trying that long in the grand scheme of things but I'm just worried there is something up from October.
TFIF though, a wee glass of red and a take away might cheer me up!

@ContadoraExplorer sorry to hear that, it does seem a few of us on here are having messed up cycles quite a few months later. I'm trying for no1 at 36, hence just a bit worried about time as I'd ideally like more than 1. I think it'd be worth giving them a call to see.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

@ContadoraExplorer sorry af showed hun, but love the positive attitude! And I can absolutely recommend a glass of Sauvignon blanc! 😂

Just trying to catch up on thread!
Huge congratulations @Cakelaur! Wonderful news!!
I’m 10dpo boobs hurting but had spotting today so not feeling that hopeful for this month .

@SlothMamaToBe spotting was my first sign! Don't count yourself out yet!

@Cakelaur I really hope so 🤞but I always spot before AF comes 🙁.
Was your spotting any different this time? Have you had any pregnancy symptoms yet?

My spotting was a day or so earlier. 7dpo... usually it starts at 8/9dpo. And it was light pink on wiping, dark pink, then dark red then brown over the space of 36hours. Litterally one colour per wipe, 5hours apart roughly... the colour changing was "new" (I had implantation bleeding with all my pregnancies but can't remember what it was like) and usually my spotting continues on and off until af shows. By 9dpo it was gone. Once it turned dark red I assumed af was coming 5 days early so put a tampon in before bed, the next morning it had the tinies brown streak on it. That was it.... so by 11dpo (this morning) I was pretty convinced. I had suspicions yesterday cos my boobs had started to tingle and I just had "that feeling" but didn't wanna test cos it was my sons 1st birthday and grandparents were round. If I turned down a drink they'd all know! 😂🙈

My FF has detected I have a possible triphasic chart starting on day 25 🥳🥳 just needed to celebrate with people who understand!

Still holding out to test tomorrow as I have to go to a gender reveal party today!

CD18 and I've finally had a positive OPK!!! My temp rise yesterday dipped this morning so hoping ovulation is today. Just hope DP is up for DTD tonight 😂. I have a 16 day luteal phase so this is a long cycle 😞.

@Emmgrem looking good. Fingers crossed for you! I don't know how your holding off testing. I'm too impatient 😂
