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

@Squiff70 @SammiStap @LittleMysSister @Cruz86 @Elsols93 thank you for your recommendations! I will get one or the 30 packs and then I will have plenty! 😂

It’s crazy how much planning goes in to TTC! My partner and I always say it’s a miracle how people accidentally fall pregnant 😂 I’m still going to stick around as this is such a lovely supportive group 💕 xx

@BoyMum18

I'm feeling so down tonight. Literally been crying all night. I just feel so pregnant and keep getting negatives :( this journey is so emotional.

@BoyMum18 sending you lots of love! It’s a tough journey but it will be worth it 💕 xx

@BoyMum18 I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's really rotten

Join me for a cuppa and a biscuit if you feel up to it x

It is crazy, you are so right. The amount of people who accidentally get pregnant without even thinking about it, when there are only those few days per year when it can actually even physically happen. It's incredible really.

@BoyMum18 Sorry you are so down xx It really is a tough journey and can feel like forever when you know you have to wait for next month again.

@jadeypies brilliant lines!

Sorry to those who've gotten AF 😔

@BrightThing hi! I personally love the CB for that reason - it’s so clear! I would recommend them. They’re more expensive but I think they simply it and they track 2 hormones, not just 1, so actually scientifically are better.

@BoyMum18 sorry to hear this xx

Officially two days late now…🙈 bare with me ladies will be testing again tomorrow/Sunday depending when I get my FRER

@SammiStap, this is so exciting, I have everything crossable crossed for you! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Thank you @Shortmamashortcycles 😬 very tense couple of days as keep expecting the witch to arrive. Boobs are achey a bit this morning

@SammiStap I too am crossing everything that will cross, for you hun!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Fingers crossed for everyone late & testing ! 🤞

My was stark white this morning but it’s was expected at 8 DPO🙄 In addition the cold symptoms worsened yesterday evening and overnight; I was in and out of it pretty much all night, probably had fever too.🥴

I feel slightly better today, just tired & runny nose. Pregnant or not, I don’t feel like attending my own hen do tomorrow 🙈🙈

How’s everyone else? Xx

Morning all.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage @BrightThing 😔

And that you're feeling so down @BoyMum18.

TTC is so draining isn't it?!

@SammiStap fingers crossed for you!!

@Mummytobe93 oh no, you've got your hen do tomorrow? That's not good if you're feeling rubbish!! Hope you feel better soon. And yes, bfn at 8dpo doesn't mean you're out yet! Still early. Fingers crossed it changes over the next week.

Since yesterday evening I have been feeling really nauseous and this morning I am so emotional I've already cried at basically nothing.

Someone shake me please - I'm 5dpo by my calculations but the app changed it to Tues so only 3 🤣🤣🤣

Good morning everyone ☀️

Oh noooo @Mummytobe93, sorry you feel rubbish! Hopefully the cold will go away as quickly as it came! Hope you have a fab time at your hen do tomorrow!!!
Re the test, not gonna say I told you so, but… 😁😂

@BoyMum18 sending you lots of positive vibes and a big virtual hug! Today is a new day! ❤️

@Effram welcome to the “swapped DPO count” club 😂 However the nausea does sound promising!!! 🤞🏻

6/5 DPO for me today. Not feeling anything funny. My boobs are freaking heavy which is annoying, otherwise nothing to report.
But actually a question for the BBT connoisseurs - what is supposed to happen BBT wise in the TWW? Mine fell off a cliff (which the app is calling O), then rose the past 3 days, and then yesterday and today it crashed again. 😬😄 Maybe I am doing it wrong, or maybe that’s how it’s supposed to go?

Thanks and I know right @Danani 🙈

Re your BBT, it’s interesting! I’d like to hear from someone knowledgeable as well, I don’t think I’ve got the ability to take my temperatures properly… I’ve found this website where you can adjust your temps if you wake up earlier or later but then I’ve not been using it all along, just recently.
Basically my chart is inconsistent as fu*k!

JFC my AF arrived properly yesterday, and it was one of the most horrible ones I've ever experienced! I'm always in need of painkillers, but the one yesterday took the cake. My body is crazy! I thought TCM is supposed to help, I will tell them something at my appointment today :)

Good morning ladies! I was on the last thread briefly and we’re on cycle 2 of TTC.

Just going into my fertile window. My periods before summer were like 27 days but then I just had a 31ish day cycle last month so who knows what’s going on. I’m not bothering with ovulation sticks or anything like that as I’ve not a clue. Just gonna try DTD every night this week or at least every other night!

How are you doing @Danani

I’ll try and catch up with where everyone’s at but there’s a lot to get through and I have a demanding threenager 😅

@Kyoshi, hey, welcome back! Loving the laid-back approach, kudos! Also, sex every night in your fertile window ...very impressive! Good luck, lovely! Hope you soon get your BFP!

RE OPKs, I've only been using them for a couple of cycles but I find them super easy to use, if you ever want to give them a try. The cheap strip ones, you can use and then use an app (which takes a pic of the strips and somehow tells you if it's Low, High or Peak - super easy), which takes all the guesswork out. You could also get the CB ones, which are $$$ however, they come with a reader, which is very easy to follow as well (blank - Low; Flashing Smile - High; Static - Peak).

@Danani as a general rule of thumb, the temperature should stay above the cover line after ovulation even if it peaks and dips a bit. I've attached a picture to show you what I mean (this isn't my chart just one I found on google).

However there is a theory that temperature can dip when implantation is taking place. Are you using fertility friend? I'm assuming you are still on the free trial? If so go onto the pregnancy monitor section and keep an eye on it. It should flag up if it detects an implantation dip.

Also worth noting (although be-fricking-ware because this is mega addictive!!) on fertility friend you can search 'charts like mine' and then you see 1000s of other peoples charts. You can then filter so for example the charts that ended in pregnancy and compare. (I've spent hours doing this 😂😂).

Lastly it could just be that you've not been taking your temperature correctly - main factor likely to impact it is not having a solid stretch of sleep. Think they say 4 hours is best but I find 2 hours is also ok. I find that whether I wake at 3am or 6am - as long as it's after about 4 hours sleep then the data is pretty spot on - despite waking at different times.

Thanks @lemons44!!!
So…on FF mine looks like a right mess 😂😂😂 should I just stop taking it? It seems so up and down, maybe I should just not bother? Start again next cycle, potensh? 👀

Hi everyone! Was on the last thread briefly, I was waiting for my cycle to return after taking Norethisterone and it finally came back after 51 days 🙄 CD14 today so hopefully O is approaching anytime soon 🤞🏼

Congrats to all those with BFPs already this month and so sorry to those with BFNs/AF x

@Danani What time did you take the temps today and yesterday vs the temperatures right after your ovulation?

@Mummytobe93 I consistently take it between 5.30 and 7.30 but on the days in question it was between 6.30 and 7.30. I also use that website to recalibrate it. 👀

I'm on CD28 today, this is when usually AF shows her face. Either that or CD30. So we'll see. I have it'll come later, because if it was to come today I'd have some sort of spotting already, which I don't. 😬 of course I'd prefer if it didn't come altogether.

Morning all.

I’m 6dpo today and still having some weird symptoms.
3 out of the past 5 nights I have had insanely vivid and traumatic dreams about people being terminally ill or dying which is just horrible.
Last night and today I have been soooooo thirsty! I drank almost a litre of water overnight and just could not quench my thirst. Has anyone else had this?

@Danani are you under the weather at all making your temp drop so suddenly? I guess BBT can be SO sensitive for any stressor. Last night I had quite broken sleep because I was so thirsty and my BBT shot up by 0.2 this morning and is the highest it’s been.
