Help a girl out and add anyone I’ve missed pls! 🙌🏻

@HRHXO

Morning all!

Quick update, me and DP managed to DTD last night with no performance issues 😂 I'm so tired today though and doesn't help that the cat woke us up at 4.30am and I couldn't get back to sleep.

Question re BBT, I don't track mine but would it be too late to start during my fertile week? I am CD14 and getting high on CB OPKs but low reading on easy @ home (25miu ones though).

Also can I use a regular thermometer?

Sorry if this seems like a silly question I'm new to BBT!

Don’t blame the cat 👀🤣🤣🤣

Congrats on DTD! Lol, feels like such an accomplishment when we manage to do it in the window, doesn’t it? 😄
I bought a thermometer (Femometer) from amazon, but based on my readings don’t listen to my advice on that one. 🙈

Just realised it is basically impossible to see in that photo too but it does exist in real life... trying to decide whether to ask my husband if he can see it or just waiting...

@Effram I can see something!!! Eeek so exciting for you!
If it were me, I’d leave DH alone, step away from the strips and do another test Fri morning. Fingers crossed hun, things are looking very very promising!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Danani As if I will be able to wait until Friday morning ! I although I know your advice is sound so let's pretend I am going to... I did just show him and he said he can see it for sure, but advised caution as have had chemical before and it is very very early. But you know... fingers crossed now xxxxxx

@Effram I can also see something! Being patient is so hard haha, but hopefully see a stronger line in a few days ✨

@Effram arrhhhhhh so exciting but yes wait a tiny bit longer if that pic is out of time frame. I can see it though - there is defo something there. xx

Exciting news @Effram , fingers crossed!

It’s official ladies - I got some brown CM which means AF is going to arrive soon … Had plenty of symptoms but turns out it was the good old PMS. I’m surprised though that this cycle was so short.. FF was right after all, my LP is about 12 days long.

I’m going to start a November thread so please join me on there if you’re also on to the next cycle. We got this!

I’ll of course keep my eye on the October thread as I’m sure there’s still plenty of BFP to come 🍀🍀🍀xxx

@Effram definitely see something! Fingers crossed & keep us updated 🥰

@Lianna93 Totally agree I am so much more aware of my body now, especially because I think so much activity/feeling was being masked by the pill.

Like I have never noticed any 'symptoms' mid-month before whereas last week I had almost period-like pains, a dull ache constantly. Even now, I am getting twinges etc from time to time where things are obviously happening down there...never had any of this on the pill.

This is the second test at the correct reading point but after only a 90min wee hold. Exciting but everything tightly crossed xx

Congrats @Effram !!🥳 🎉
How many dpo Are you? Any symptoms? I'm testing on Friday x

@Mummytobe93 I'll definitely join November thread xx

Congratulations @Effram 💕 fingers crossed it's a sticky one!

Can I ask people's opinions? I had a negative test (this was a few months ago) then read it after an hour, it showed this line. Is it 💯 evap or do you think there's a chance it could have been chemical?

I would prob like it to have been chemical as means it's the first time I'd actually gotten a hint of BFP x

I think that's an evap, I had exactly the same on one of those last month! X

Ahh thanks for asking @Shortmamashortcycles. I thought I was doing okay up until this morning but my whole body hurts again so I'm struggling a bit!

I'm really hoping you get your bfp soon ❤️ remember to look after yourself above anything else. You don't seem to confident about this cycle?

Can you put the link to the November thread once you've started it please @Mummytobe93?

@effram that's very exciting! Fingers firmly crossed for you!

Saving @Mummytobe93 a job! May be joining you there in the next week...

Oh @Cruz86, look after yourself! That sounds miserable. Rest and Netflix! I recall you had some spotting - still there or has it stopped?

Yeah various reasons - cycle has been a bit weird and didn't get to DTD as much as I think we needed to. Keep telling myself that it's just one cycle and there's lots more opportunities, but I'm just impatient!

@laurenGame

Congrats *@Effram* !!🥳 🎉 How many dpo Are you? Any symptoms? I'm testing on Friday x

App says 8dpo but I think I must be 9/10dpo. Had strong opk Fri and sat (8th and 9th?) I felt quite nauseous over the weekend and crampy and backache.

I caved and tested after a 4 hour hold. BFN. I don't get it at all, I have had sore boobs for nearly a week, today I have lower back ache and nausea. WTF is my body doing? 😭

@Mummytobe93 I expect I'll see you on your new thread very soon as AF is due today. Ace title BTW!

Oh wow! Congrats @Effram! I’m so tempted to run out and get a test now as I’m potentially 8DPO, but I think more 7DPO.

I’ve got god awful mood swings today, so quick to get angry and I’m normally so chill..

@Firsttimetrier do not go and get tests! Hold on as long as possible!

Thanks hunny @Shortmamashortcycles

I feel all sorts of rubbish today, like I’m about to have a mental breakdown and be sick at the same time 😵‍💫🤢
