It seems AF is coming to get me end of this week (Fri), so instead of feeling sorry for myself I’m trying to look forward to October and getting to try again! šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»

Anyone else with me?

Thanks @lemons44 and @Mummytobe93!

Just annoying I can’t be 100%certain when I O’d. Even if it is 36 h, that brings me to Sat night. But my temp dip was Sun morning. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
Oh well, I guess at least I know I have O’d for sure? šŸ˜‚ Would you count me as 4 DPO or 3 though? šŸ‘€
Attaching a pic of my tempt and a pic of my tests.

[quote Effram]@Elsols93 It's tricky, because it's possible it would show up but also possible it will be too early so you'll be none the wiser! I would just go and enjoy your wine - ignorance is bliss ;) - and then test a bit later![/quote]
I wholeheartedly second this! šŸ™‹šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

Hahaha @Effram! It looks to me like you’ve done plenty DTD in that window, I hope you get your BFP this cycle! But tbh, that wine tasting party sounds like a dream! šŸ·šŸ·šŸ·

EUGH, so about 4dpo here (I don’t test, so guessing) and I’m pretty sure I’m losing the plot. Don’t think I’ve ever been so aware of every little thing my body does, despite the fact I know full well there will be nothing going on just yet anyway!!

I’m trying to believe this is first cycle insanity and it’ll get easier as time goes on, but I suspect I’m deluding myself…?!

Really sorry for those of you for whom this wasn’t your month. Fingers crossed next month is the one!

Cruz86 · 13/10/2021 10:36

@Danani I wonder if you ovulated overnight Saturday? So...3.5 dpo šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

@Effram im not sure about those temp dips but you've definitely dtd enough this cycle! Good luck.

@Digby86 I hate to say it but you will probably be this obsessive every cycle! Hopefully you won't need to experience another TWW though ā˜ŗļø

Bundaberg84 · 13/10/2021 10:46

@Digby86 I know how you feel :) But at 5dpo, there is most probably nothing pregnancy related you're experiencing. Too early for implantation, but who am I to judge. Last cycle I felt pregnant BEFORE ovulation, so there's that. ;)

@Effram I think you're alright, after all it only takes one surviving sperm right?

I'm 12dpo now, and experiencing normal AF symptoms. I know it doesn't mean I'm not pregnant, but I don't feel like it if it makes sense. After all, last month I was so convinced I was pregnant so I don't even want to test until I'm overdue. I think the chances with only one tube left aren't that great to begin with, but weirder things have happened right?

BH1926 · 13/10/2021 10:53

[quote apwilso]@BH1926 aww congrats!?

Yeah my issue he works away every week Monday to Thursday without fail. So we got pregnant after 5 tries and lost it unfortunately but that was back in April. Fingers crossed for this month [/quote]
@apwilso Fingers crossed this is your month šŸ¤žšŸ»ā¤ļø

Effram · 13/10/2021 11:11

Only time will tell I guess!

@Digby86 Yes good luck I found I escalated in obsessiveness but I did enjoy getting to know my body. I just became so aware of every little tiny twinge etc that were probably always there but I never noticed before...

@Bundaberg84 imagining one teeny tiny super hardcore sperm now clinging on by its ?fingernails haha!

@Danani I reckon Saturday night is probably not far off but there's not point trying to work it out now (I realise that is a hypocritical thing for me to say!) but @BH1926 is a great example of how it doesn't need to be timed to O exactly with the hardy 5 day sperm there !!!!

@FlyOnTheWall89 it’s frustrating isn’t it! Why can’t it just happen especially when you know you got it all covered!
When I had mmc in July I wanted to be pregnant again by Christmas and I do t know if it will happen although…
Af hasn’t arrived yet which I find is odd as it’s meant to be today really and I’ve had some spotting for the past three days so I don’t know what’s going on. Bloody annoying but still holding onto hope that my BFN this morning is a false alarm!
It was a CB 6 day early one so…thought it would have worked hut maybe still not enough hCG?

FlyOnTheWall89 · 13/10/2021 11:38

@Digby86 I feel ya haha. I am 6 cycles in and also 4DPO and im very aware but I have to say I am more peaceful about the whole thing than I was last month. I got myself in such a tiz and was generally so not myself. Cant bear to be like that again for these few weeks. Fingers crossed for us x

Wingingthis · 13/10/2021 11:42

Hello šŸ¤ trying for baby #3 here no luck so far!! Can anyone explain to me what DPO means?

FlyOnTheWall89 · 13/10/2021 11:45

@SammiStap Yes so frustrating - I just want my BFP. My friends who have had kids at this point mostly for pregnant either first time or within 6/7 months. I just don't get it.

I think FRER are best. CB early detection technically should show something if you are due AF but everyone swears by pink dye, not blue and many people have said they don't get a positive until after missed AF... if you implanted late, there may not enough hCG. x

Effram · 13/10/2021 11:48

@SammiStap I do think clearblue are less sensitive than FRER, even the early detection ones. I'll keep everything crossed.

@Wingingthis I'm trying for no3 too :) DPO means days post ovulation x

apwilso · 13/10/2021 11:52

@SammiStap I'm same same as you mmc in April was due around Christmas and now I want it so bad before then!

SammiStap · 13/10/2021 12:11

Ok @FlyOnTheWall89 and @Effram thanks maybe I will try and get a FRER at the weekend. That is first response isn’t it?

@apwilso aww bless you it’s so awful isn’t it. I do hope you have a BFP soon. I’d love to get mine and currently don’t know what to think !

Squiff70 · 13/10/2021 13:08

Afternoon ladies. I've been reading your posts but not really joined in as I know absolutely nothing about temping, sorry, and didn't have anything useful to add.

There have been soooo many post here in the last 14 ish hours that we're going to need a new thread soon.

I'm saddened to hear this cycle for some of you is 6+. I can only imagine how frustrating it is to just want a child and not be getting that BFP. I used to be on a thread here 3 years ago where some ladies were getting their BFPs after many many months of trying. They went on to have healthy babies and there's a whole tribe of them now! I stayed in touch with some of them and one even gave birth to her second child a week ago.

On a personal note, this is my first cycle for my 5th child. Please let me explain.

In 2018 I fell pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. Sadly we lost them both at 19+4w in January 2019 due to placental abruption.

Later in 2019 I fell pregnant, again with twins and again a boy and a girl. I went into labour at 22+4w and our daughter was delivered the next day. Our son was born three days later but sadly he was only with us for four days. He did not survive the early neonatal period. Our daughter did survive and next month she will be two. She had a lot of complications, all of which she overcame, and despite delayed development she's as healthy as most other nearly 2 year old children. We would like her to have a surviving brother or sister, hence our TTC journey continues.

So, although I long for that BFP, for me I won't relax until I have a healthy baby in my arms. I'm 39 so time is ticking for us.

Baby dust to all Star

SammiStap · 13/10/2021 13:21

Aww @Squiff70 I’m so sorry and sad to read that. I think it’s amazing your little girl survived she must be a strong willed one! How lovely. I do hope you get your BFP very soon, you deserve it lovely xx

apwilso · 13/10/2021 13:37

@SammiStap I know! After a while your like is this every going to happen!

@Squiff70 so sorry to hear about that. I hope you can get your positive for your daughter x

Danani · 13/10/2021 13:47

Ahhhh @Squiff70! So so so hope you get your beautiful BFP!!! You deserve it lovely! ā¤ļø

@Squiff70 wow - what a journey. Hats off to you, you must be incredibly strong. What a wonderful little girl to have survived against the odds and be doing so fantastically. Good luck ā¤ļø. Makes me feel bad for complaining about 6 months TTC! Xx
