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?!

🙏🙏🙏 I’ve got a few cramps today so hoping that’s also good sign. TWW never gets any less agonising!

@Belle34
I’ve heard of the vaccine messing cycle up a bit for a few people.
Hopefully you will get a definite positive for ovulation soon!
I’m not sure when I’ll test. I know I should wait until at least AF due but not sure if I’ll cave. Definitely nothing before 12dpo I reckon .

@Belle34 the vaccine gave me an extra long cycle with a longer LP. A lot of my friends were the same.

@SlothMamaToBe your chart looks good. Fingers crossed for you.

@Unicornish sorry about your bfns. Has AF arrived yet for you??

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 can't believe your 11 weeks already! Time has flown by! Keep us updated after your scan.

I'm cd21 today. Temps are doing the usual thing. Had day 21 progesterone blood this afternoon. Made it back in time from my holiday by the skin of my teeth! DP has collected his sample pot for his SA, just needs to find time to do it and drop it off! I also have my ultrasound on Monday morning and appointment with GP to discuss blood results on Wednesday. Feel slightly less stressed this month and will hope get some answers.

@SlothMamaToBe that looks like a promising chart for you! 🤞🤞🤞 that this is your month.

@LemonDrizzle44 glad you made it back in time!

No af yet (it is due today) but another stark white test this morning so it feels like it's just a waiting game. I do feel like my period is about to start. I guess if it doesn't come this evening or overnight I'll test again in the morning but I'm not holding out much hope at this stage. (I'm 12 dpo today so a pregnancy really should be showing up on tests now I think.)

@LemonDrizzle44 that's amazing re: getting back for the day 21 bloods and hope you had a great holiday! It's a relief just having investigations isn't it, takes the pressure off. Hope your results come back okay next week

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 got most blood results back already courtesy of the NHS app. I'm thinking it's possibly pcos (LH higher than FSH and high testosterone) but will see what GP thinks, and wait for ultrasound. In a way if it's pcos I'm fine with that. I'd rather that than thyroid issues (I have a lot of thyroid symptoms too). My liver bloods have come back abnormal too so would like to know what GP thinks about that, not sure if that will affect fertility? I just feel like a massive weight has been lifted.

@LemonDrizzle44 I know what you mean, something identified that's easy enough to treat and make a difference will be great.

I need your eyes please. This is today's test with fmu. I am 13 dpo.

Can you see the vvv faint line?

Surely it should be darker at this point? Do you think it is likely to be a chemical pregnancy?

I'm struggling a bit emotionally.

@unicornish i found IC's to be crap, it took ages for me to see anything on them when I'd had a really dark line on a FRER. I think I can see something but not sure if it's colour or just evap and it's always harder to see in a photo. Worthwhile doing a FRER if it looks like something in real life. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Unicornish I can definitely see something not sure if it has colour though so possibly an evap. Like PP says, do a FRER. Fingers crossed for you x

@Unicornish I can see it too! Try and do FRER to see if that shows up any better

Annoyingly I flushed my fmu but I'll try do do frer later on. Thanks everyone. My period was due yesterday so it is late now.

@Unicornish I defo see a vvfl, would wait until another 2 days to test again with frer🤞

Had a few nigglely cramps today, am 8dpo and my chart is still looking good this month compared to last month! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter chart looking really good! Do you think you'll test or try to hold on until AF is due?

How are you doing today @slothmanatobe temps still high?

Thank you I hope my temps stay high 🤞🏻 I think I'll wait until AF is due because I get more upset with a negative test than I do seeing AF. I'm not due until next Friday so will probably test Saturday morning if AF doesn't show up before then!

I haven't got any pregnancy tests in the house so I won't be tempted! X

How are you getting on @ContadoraExplorer

@LemonDrizzle44
It’s good you got results so quickly and that you are feeling relieved to have some answers. How long before the doctor will talk to you about them?
I had my letter through for hsg today, it says I need to book as soon as I get AF and avoid pregnancy for the rest of that cycle . Of course I’m hoping and praying I don’t have to do the test.
@Unicornish I think I can see a faint line but I also think should try with frer?
@ContadoraExplorer my temp was 37 this morning so 0.1 degree lower than yesterday but still high I guess! I hope it doesn’t start to dip now though. Boobs really tender and more cramps today.
@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter you are at same stage as me! Your chart is looming good! 🤞 for you!

@ContadoraExplorer how you feeling? Hope you are managing ok with the sickness

@SlothMamaToBe Your chart is looking great!! When is AF due and when are your planning to test?

Thank you! I hope you’re right ! It’s due on Friday 30th - I’m going to try and wait as close to that date as possible but will see how I get on. When is your AF due?

Sorry just seen above you are due on Friday too! Maybe we can support each other to try and hold off testing 😄

Yes haha let's see how long we can hold off testing!! X

I've just been to the loo and have had some pinkish CM 😔 obviously went straight to Google and Tommy's says that there can be implantation bleeding around 8 weeks (I'm 7+5) but I felt pretty rubbish all day yesterday, really tired and majorly hormonal and burst into sobbing tears at a film at what DH referred to as a "beige" part - not particularly happy or sad. I also have some crampy feeling, mostly in my lower back but a little to the front although I had put the stomach down to eating some spicy food last night (TMI hence the reason I was in the loo in the first place). I've put a pad in to monitor it but is there anything else I can do? It's probably not worth calling EPU as they won't be able to do anything if its the worst case scenario, will they?

So sorry to hear that @ContadoraExplorer . It is true that bleeding in early pregnancy is quite common.
I don’t think it would hurt to call EPAU and see what they can do.
Sometimes they will offer an early scan to confirm the site of the pregnancy.
Really hope it was just a one off and that you are feeling better soon x
