I am 5 dpo in like an hour so I will join. Last month I was obsessed with symptoms and I had EVERY ONE of them. This time, I have scaled back and kind of stopped paying attention.

@Bd1787 a holiday will be so nice either if you are, or aren't pregnant, though hopefully you are. My family wants to do a huge trip to Australia for their 70th birthdays this summer, and I don't want to tell them that I am trying for a second child in case it doesn't happen, but also if we were to get pregnant I wouldn't want to travel that far at that time so I am looking for excuses to not go. I was very sick the first time, and then went into premature labor at 32 weeks, out DD came at 35 weeks after some dr delaying. Hate the weird taboo feeling of hiding that you are trying from people, but my mum is very nosy and would constantly be asking/assuming if I just had a cold if I mentioned it once.

@Bd1787

Thanks *@madeleine85* that's reassuring. I really just assumed it would happen straight away and got so disheartened when it didn't. We have a holiday to Florida booked in jan so the only upside to not getting pregnant before then is that I'll be able to get on all the rides.

I'm new to bbt tracking @HollyB7 but maybe it's because that's where your temp rises above the line? Do you use opk strips? I find them really helpful for confirming too.

When it updated to say when OV was, it also showed that line for the first time. This is my first month tracking bbt and can honestly say I haven't a clue how it works or what anything means! Need to sit down and try and figure it out!
CrumchyLeafs · 18/11/2021 08:34

@HollyB7 I track BBT! I use FertilityFriend and I really recommend it, because it shows you a detailed interpretation of the data you input Smile

This is what mine looks like today! Thought I would get an implantation dip in temp today, but it stayed consistent.

Oh there's loads of info on that. I might swap to use that instead then if it's better!!

Mine dropped today, could that be an implantation dip? I was a bit sad to see it drop as I thought they needed to stay high and then dropped before your period. If this is my AF coming it would be very early! I had EWCM so really think OV was 10th.

CrumchyLeafs · 18/11/2021 10:24

@HollyB7 Implantation happens between days 6 - 12 so it could definitely be the implantation dip! Apparently temperatures in your luteal phase after ovulation don't mean that much anyways and can be all over the place even when pregnant, I just like to keep tracking for completions sake!

How many DPO are you?

I think I'm going to test Sunday... I wish I was a person who could just not test until the advised time but it plays on my mind so much anyway I may as well!

CrumchyLeafs · 18/11/2021 13:06

@FlyOnTheWall89 hmm interesting... so according to this implantation bleeding doesn't exist? Or at least is not related to implantation itself.. and it always happens exactly 9 days after ovulation? Weird, I feel like everywhere you look you get different information.. very frustrating. You would think the scientists would have studied pregnancy in humans enough by now to be sure about these things.

I probably will in the morning too! I know it's too early but at least it will be out of my system then!
FlyOnTheWall89 · 18/11/2021 13:48

@CrumchyLeafs I think it shows implantation is most likely between 8-11 DPO … not much earlier, and if much later then higher risk of loss. Day 9 is ‘most common’. I agree, there is so much conflicting information but this seemed pretty thorough in its explanation. X

I think 7.. So 8 tomorrow I can't help myself each month I say I won't do it cos I torture myself with squinting St the bloody things 😂

@HollyB7 that is so exciting that it might be implantation! Fingers crossed for you.

I was going to track BBT this cycle for the first time, then I got the covid booster at the start of my cycle, and my temps were all over the place, so put it off till next one. Hoping it isn't too complicated thoguh/my exhausted self remembers to do it in the mornings.

Going to visit my in laws for a week starting tomorrow, so hoping that will delay my testing neurosis and then i'll either get my AF when i'm there (the likely option), or i'll test when I get home (will likely cave before then). They have really good wine though and I usually drink it, so i'm going to have to get creative for my lowered consumption. Maybe i'll have to tell them that i've gained weight and i'm on a health kick (both true lol).

Hello, is it possible to jump on this thread? I’m currently on the Nov thread too, but nice to chat to others with similar cycles!

I’m currently 8DPO and we attempted SMEP this month but didn’t use OPKs, so based ovulation on the usual suspects.

Bd1787 · 18/11/2021 20:40

Welcome @Firsttimetrier how are you? I'm 7dpo so anxiously waiting to see what happens in the next week. Feeling completely normal right now so not feeling too hopeful but keeping everything crossed.

Hi @Firsttimetrier I’m about 9/10 DPO! Welcome to this thread! Not due AF until next Wednesday which would be the latest possible day for me. Good luck everyone!!!! I’m guessing lots of people must be testing in the next few days xxx

Albiesmum2021 · 18/11/2021 21:59

Hope I can jump on this thread
I'm only about 4dpo. It's only our third month ttc but I got so obsessed with POAS last month I've not even used OPKs this month but we have dtd lots! Not been long trying but feels like forever!

Woke up with a huge spot on my chin today which only ever happens when AF is coming so already sign spotting 🙈🙈😂😂

boymummy89 · 19/11/2021 06:49

Couldn't help myself POAS this morning and was negative, but thiught I'd share that I managed to tip the cup of pee all down my legs and on bathroom floor this morning lol happy Friday!

Bd1787 · 19/11/2021 07:14

@boymummy89 oh no! Sorry your test was neg but still very early. I was thinking I would start testing today but actually when I woke up I couldn't be bothered which is very unlike me, think I'm just feeling like there's no chance this month.

My temps have been all over the place this month because I haven't been waking at the same time, but appear to be gradually dipping rather than continuing to rise.

Lots of luck to everyone testing today!

HollyB7 · 19/11/2021 07:46

@boymummy89 oh sorry to hear! But still early days!! So try again on Sunday maybe? When is AF due?

My temp rose again today, so fingers crossed that was an implantation dip (if there even is such a thing!!) but I don't have any other symptoms so I doubt it.

CrumchyLeafs · 19/11/2021 11:19

@boymummy89 I am always afraid to spill it all over the place too! It is bound to happen one day, haha! I also tested this morning (9DPO) but I just used a cheapie to not waste the FRER yet and ofc it was negative. But not too bothered about it since it would have been crazy to get a positive so early. It was also still dark outside so I couldn't even squint at it! I will probably start using the 3 FRER I have tomorrow and do one every day. Then just use cheapies after.

The spotting I had 7/8DPO is gone thankfully.

Firsttimetrier · 19/11/2021 12:30

I’m 100% symptomless over here at 9DPO, which I know is normal. No sore boobs like usual or anything else that may be PMS or early signs.

I think I usually have something happening at this point post ovulation but nothing this time around!

If I get that BFP, I do this it will be a shock because I’m really expecting that it didn’t work this cycle.
