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?!

@Lizbb at a guess id say that's a post ov temp. How many dpo are you?

OP posts:
dippyegg32 · 06/03/2021 13:35

@Lizbb that's a very low temp, defo pre ovulation. Post ovulation is most likely 36.60s minimum but more likely 70s/80s +

Glitterandcrimsonx · 06/03/2021 16:39

Does anyone else still get pretty consistent temps even when you've been up and down all night? I literally never get the recommended 3 hours of solid sleep before taking my temp and am up and down with the boys a lot (DS2 still doesn't sleep through and DS1 who is autistic is up most of the night) but my temps still seem good to me? Am I wrong? 🤔

Hi all, also due AF on 15th mar so all in this tww together! No symptoms yet unfort except for maybe needing to pee all the time but that’s nothing new! Haven’t been temp tracking or anything but fairly sure I’m 5dpo

Lizbb · 07/03/2021 11:17

@Lizbb I hope you managed to pounce! You should notice a jump in temp within the next few days. And then after 3 sustained higher temps, that confirms ovulation. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Tryingforno3 when are you planning on testing? I don't have many symptoms. Just pulling and tugging with an on off "stitch" like feeling. But I'm sure I had something similar last month too! 😂🙈

How is everyone feeling today?

Glitterandcrimsonx · 08/03/2021 10:53

8 DPO today. I'm exhausted and my nose is super stuffy, but no other signs. Probably just coming down with something! I had zero pregnancy symptoms with my 2 DS's so I never really know what I'm looking for tbh. I resisted the urge to POAS this morning though, trying to wait until Thursday at the earliest. We'll see Grin

How are you doing @ContadoraExplorer?

@Glitterandcrimsomx I'm the same feel crappy and a hit nauseous but it's been a couple of weeks since my DD started back at nursery so it's probably some bug from there (hopefully not the C word) but at the same time hoping it means something!

Thursday isn't too long away but in TWW terms it's a total age Grin so good luck on holding out! I'm currently trying not to think about those FRER I have sitting around and wait for my AF due date (15th) but I will probably cave before then!

Cakelaur · 08/03/2021 13:28

Eek!! We're soooo close now mamas!!!
By the end of the week we'll all know if we're having a baby!!! I'm excited!! I have no idea if my chart is on the right path. I had such a shit nights sleep last night because my youngest was up and down all night. I woke at 4.45 and took my temp then, but usually it would be 6.30...so I altered my temp and it was a reasonable jump... but who knows!! 😂 I've seen shit charts get a bfp and I've seen amazing charts end in bfp... 🤷‍♀️

Here is mine. Temps averaging between 36.8-37 which I'm happy with!

Tryingforno3 · 08/03/2021 18:34

@Cakelaur I will prob try hold off until thurs or fri when I’ll be 10/11 dpo - think I can be strong til then! I’m now thinking boobs are sore too but I’ve had that before and no bfp so won’t hold onto it too much!

Your heart rate has increased a good bit too this week - I think that’s a positive sign

We can totally last til end of week ladies!

LemonDrizzle44 · 08/03/2021 18:51

Hi. Can I join??

Had a very quick peak on OPK yesterday. Temp and BBT rise this morning.

This is my 7th cycle TTC#1. Really hope this is our month 🤞🏻.

Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️ my first month with temping. Is there any indication on the chart prior to AF if you are likely to be pregnant from temperatures alone? Or would it be the same if not pregnant? AF due 18th for me! I’ll attach my graph - any interpretations welcome!

Cakelaur · 08/03/2021 23:39

OMG!! I'm so excited! My clear blue fertility monitor is asking me to test for pregnancy tomorrow!!! It's way too early (7dpo) but saves me wasting an frer!!! 🎉🎉🎉

@SlothMamaToBe some say a triphastic chart (three increased temp shifts in LP) suggests pregnancy but not 100%. 18days of elevated temps is the most accurate. But most people have tested by then anyway!

Welcome @LemonDrizzle44 temp shift looks good. Hopefully the next couple of days confirms it! 🤞🏻

@Tryingforno3 im starting to notice the round ligament pain in m right hip! But I don't know if I'm imagining it! I defo can't wait until Thursday! 😂 zero will power this month!!

@Glitterandcrimsonx
@ContadoraExplorer how are you ladies getting on with holding out? Any more signs?!

OP posts:
dippyegg32 · 09/03/2021 05:40

@SlothMamaToBe that's not a triphasic chart. I believe fertility friend would define it as an erratic chart see here www.fertilityfriend.com/courses/lessons/1/Chart-Variations-_-Illustrations.html

I didn't say it was a triphastic chart ... she asked if there was any indication by looking at a chart. 🙈😂 and I was explaining thats what people generally get excited about!

OP posts:
ContadoraExplorer · 09/03/2021 06:59

Ooh exciting @cakelaur - fingers crossed and let us know!! Grin

I feel awful, DD was up all night and has a bit of a fever. She is teething so not sure if its just that (she has never been like this before with other teeth) but don't think today is going to be productive. I'm still holding out though... for now!

ContadoraExplorer · 09/03/2021 07:04

My emojis are wrong- that was meant to be a grin. I tried to do a grin in my last post too and it came out a star. No idea what's going on but I think I'll give up on them.

Cakelaur · 09/03/2021 07:21

@ContadoraExplorer it came out as a smiley at my end!

Of course BFN! But man did it feel good to Poas again! 😂 so I'll do that every day until af shows up. If nothing by Thursday I'll crack out an frer!

Chart went up today so that's promising I guess. Although I had a reasonable nights sleep with only one wake up at 3, then onto 6.30am. I'm starting to get a bit of a cold, which is always a pregnancy sign for me, but I'm tired at the mo, so could be my immune system is just down a bit.

Glitterandcrimsonx · 09/03/2021 07:49

@Cakelaur I'm actually doing good with the willpower for a change! I have my covid vaccine tomorrow (unpaid carer) so I really don't want to test before then. I've been doing OPKs to help my POAS addiction in the meantime 😂 My chart looks different this month, I'm not sure if that's good or bad! I don't normally get spikes/dips, usually quite a slow rise. And my nose is still super stuffy, especially at night. I'll probably do a FRER on Thursday as well Grin

@Glitterandcrimsonx eek!! It all sounds promising! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I'm almost excited about testing. For the first time since we started ttc. I feel good about the month. We DTD loads, I know I ovulated, used conceive plus to help. And progesterone cream. So I feel confident that we might catch this month! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I really hope this is our lucky thread with lots of BFPs!!!

OP posts:
Glitterandcrimsonx · 09/03/2021 10:51

@Cakelaur Oh I do hope so! I feel the exact same as you this month, really optimistic about it because we had such a successful window. Worried that'll lead to disappointment though 🙈 Fingers firmly crossed for us all!
