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?!

Hi all. AF did arrive for me so onto the next cycle. Currently CD8 and starting OPKs. DP is working away a lot so not hopeful for this month either. If unsuccessful this month I'm planning on contacting GP for bloods etc.

Why hello temp drop...

@Hopefulhedgehog good luck with DTD! Hope this is your month!

My temp has dipped a bit today and cramps feeling more and more like AF 😞. 11dpo today.

@ContadoraExplorer oh no sorry your temp dropped too. Is AF here?
@LemonDrizzle44
sorry to hear this wasn’t your month 🙁💜

ContadoraExplorer · 05/05/2021 07:32

@slothmamatobe that chart looks great - consistently increasing. I know you're saying you think AF is coming but I'm not so sure!

AF was bang on schedule for me, TMI but had obviously been building up when I was lying in bed so went to the loo first thing and it just fell out 😳 at least I know I can have a wee wine after this horrific working week (yes it is just Wednesday morning)

SlothMamaToBe · 05/05/2021 07:43

@ContadoraExplorer I really hope you are right! Just comparing my temp to previous charts my temp was similar around this time before (although had started decreasing a bit earlier I think) . One thing that’s different is that I haven’t had any spotting yet but I feel quite on edge every time I go to the loo in case it’s there as my cramps are still quite persistent. Not long to go now til I can test ... if AF doesn’t come then I’ll test on Saturday now as DP staying away for work on Friday and I’d rather he be about no matter what the outcome.

Sorry that AF has shown her face . Enjoy the wine though 🍷. Hope you are feeling ok?

Drinksometeawithme · 05/05/2021 08:00

Morning girls, hope is ok?

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 @ContadoraExplorer
@LemonDrizzle44 and anyone I've missed sorry AF reared her ugly head girls. Onwards and upwards though x

@SlothMamaToBe your chart still looks pretty good.

My chart has me stumped... again
I had a below the cover line drop yesterday, but right back up this morning, I'm so confused.
According to FF I'm due aunt flo today, but my temp is saying something different 🤷🏼‍♀️

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 05/05/2021 09:44

@LemonDrizzle44 @ContadoraExplorer I'm sorry period has arrived, its rubbish.

@SlothMamaToBe your chart still looks okay 🤞

@Drinksometeawithme can you post your chart, very intrigued

Drinksometeawithme · 05/05/2021 10:04

It's a bit up and down x @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 05/05/2021 10:08

@Drinksometeawithme oh wow no that has gone right up, and 36.9 is a really high temperature anyway! Have you tested again?

Drinksometeawithme · 05/05/2021 10:40

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I have taken tests but they are all negative. Which is crap because i really felt different, soo tired and just not like myself. I guess only time will tell. I looked up the supplement you suggested. From what I could tell the main ingredient is co enzyme Q10 and I've been taking that for a few months too 😁

SlothMamaToBe · 05/05/2021 18:11

@Drinksometeawithme your chart looks promising! Perhaps you had late implantation... ? Have you tested today? 🤞

SlothMamaToBe · 05/05/2021 18:12

Sorry just seen your post above @Drinksometeawithme . When is AF due for you?

Drinksometeawithme · 05/05/2021 18:21

Hey, @SlothMamaToBe AF due tomorrow. So will wait and see what she brings.
How are you getting on??

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 05/05/2021 18:22

@Drinksometeawithme sorry I should have said, yes its CoQ10 and I've taken that for a few months also. But apparently from mid thirties we can't process CoQ10, and you need a lot to improve egg quality, which is why Ubiquinol is recommended. I'm giving it a go, but it is expensive!

SlothMamaToBe · 05/05/2021 18:28

@Drinksometeawithme are you going to test anyway or wait to see if she’s late? Got everything crossed for you!

I’m ok just waiting out last couple days before AF due Friday. It’s excruciating ! If my temp goes down again tomorrow then that will give more info but I’m hoping so much it doesn’t. TTC has been such a stress I don’t know how much longer I can carry on with it.

Drinksometeawithme · 05/05/2021 18:29

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 hi, I will have another look then as I haven't read about us not being able to process it? Thanks for the heads up.
Hope your ok

Drinksometeawithme · 05/05/2021 18:36

@SlothMamaToBe I feel the frustration, I've decided on two more cycles then I'm out. It's too much to be crushed every month.
Your chart has looked so good so far so I have everything crossed for you 🤞
I will test again tomorrow lol I'm a poas addict 🙈 but I'm doubtful. Even if I did implant yesterday, from what I've read it would probably end in mc 😞 it's all so disheartening

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 05/05/2021 18:46

@Drinksometeawithme its this book, someone recommended it to me, if you're interested could be worth a read. Its all about improving egg and sperm health www.amazon.co.uk/Starts-Egg-Science-Pregnant-Miscarriage/dp/0991126904?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Anyway I think I've probably gone overboard 😂

Sorry you're feeling so disheartened, it is horrible every month. You're not out for this one however, with your temp rise again. Hope you have a good evening

Cakelaur · 06/05/2021 06:40

Hi all. Sorry been a bit awol. Work has been manic and sickness is ridiculous!
@Drinksometeawithme any chance you ovulated a couple days earlier? I'd say your chart has a VERY obvious temp shift on cd11? Have you taken a test?

@SlothMamaToBe looks your chart is on the rise!!! Are you testing?

OP posts:
SlothMamaToBe · 06/05/2021 07:00

Hi @Cakelaur ! Great to hear from you. How many weeks are you now? Have you got your first scan booked? Sorry you are struggling with sickness 😕 hope it improves for you!

My DP is away for work today til Friday eve so I’m going to wait til Saturday to test 😬. That’s unless AF shows her face before of course. I keep feeling that she’s coming , in bed this morning felt all hot and crampy , I’m hoping it’s finally not a pms thing and a pregnant thing though!

Cakelaur · 06/05/2021 07:49

@SlothMamaToBe serious will power right there!!!

It could well be pregnancy cramping! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm now 7+3!! It's seriously dragging!
I feel like I've been pregnant for bloody Ages! I've got an early scan booked for just under 9 weeks. Because hubby is away for my 12 week scan.

Hopefulhedgehog · 06/05/2021 08:02

Sorry AF arrived for you @ContadoraExplorer - give yourself a few days to wallow in self pity then dust yourself off ready for a new cycle. How many cycles is this for you?

@SlothMamaToBe how are your temps looking this morning?

I’m CD10 and expecting positive OPK today or tomorrow as I usually ovulate CD11 or 12. This thing is such a rollercoaster isn’t it - I much prefer the early part of my cycle gearing up for ovulation and planning DTD like a military operation 😂 I find the waiting after that so emotionally tiring because there is just nothing to do but wait! It doesn’t help my literal phase is 16 days so feels like a lifetime.

SlothMamaToBe · 06/05/2021 08:12

@Cakelaur wow that’s exciting about the scan! Sorry it’s dragging a bit , the sickness must not help!

I’m hoping pregnancy cramps is actually a thing and not just one of those symptoms you google in hope it’s a good sign (which I’ve definitely done countless times 😂)

SlothMamaToBe · 06/05/2021 17:48

@Hopefulhedgehog
Did you get your positive opk? Totally agree with the boring tww, the planning dtd is much more fun - although I do feel for DP at times , I can’t wait not to have to schedule sex anymore!! 🤞🙏

My chart ok today actually ... my temp hasn’t dropped yet at least anyway but sometimes it doesn’t drop until day before anyway . FF is saying AF due tomorrow but that would make my cycle only 26 days so I’m thinking sat or Sunday more likely.
