Hoping For a BFP in April

[FreckledMouse]

Making a new thread from the March group ♥️

I'm on CD 1, Cycle 11 of TTC our first 👶🏼
Had a MC in February
Ectopic last July with right tube removal
I have endometriosis (and I suspect low progesterone)

Trying to stay positive and think fresh cycle, my body probably needed this after the MC and its a fresh start ✨

Baby dust ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

This looks like a very good line to be an indent, but i had a bad experience with frer last month. I would buy a few other brands as well just to confirm it. This is what i did with my first. Good luck!

That's what I'm hoping. Will test again in morning!

@allthingssparkly once you ovulate, your bbt will stay elevated until you get af. If you're pregnant, your bbt will stay high after af is due.

@allthingssparkly here's an example of one of my cycles. You see how after ovulation bbt rises above my baseline, it then stays there until af arrives (or hopefully doesn't). When I was pregnant my chart was similar, though my temps were a little higher, but if you've just started temping it will take a little while to get to know your 'normal'. Hope this helps!

Thank you @Sassy144 😊

That chart is super helpful as it actually indicates the dips in temp when your period is due, presumably that cycle you didn't fall pregnant? Due to the temp dips seen in the chart? They would stay elevated at that time if pregnant?

Pre mom says I'm now 1DPO. Done my temp again this morning and it's elevated again 😬

@allthingssparkly that's right, you'll see where it goes back to cd1 at the end when the temp dips and I have my period. Temps stay elevated when pregnant (although some may experience an implantation dip). This is my cycle where I fell pregnant (though sadly it ended in MC), I stopped taking my temp for a bit after my BFP as I didn't want to stress about it and was waking in the night a lot, but you can see how it stays high.

Ooh yes I can see your temp rise on your chart, I had mine today too so we can enter the dreaded tww together! 🤞

Ahh yeah I see the constant elevation in that chart, so sorry to hear about your MC @Sassy144 😥

Hopefully this cycle brings you some good luck 🤞

Let's hope this TWW goes quickly, need to keep myself busy and not symptom spot! 🙈

@allthingssparkly thank you 💛 you too!

@MissBlue93 have you tested again?🤞

@Kitty901

@MissBlue93 have you tested again?🤞

Did another FRER today and got a v faint line. Did a CB digital and 'not pregnant' so don't know what to think! AF due 2 days x

@MissBlue93 clearblue digital isn't as sensitive as FRER so fingers crossed this is an early BFP for you!

@Sassy144

@MissBlue93 clearblue digital isn't as sensitive as FRER so fingers crossed this is an early BFP for you!

It was the 6 day early one but yeah it's possible I guess. It's hard because I don't know my exact DPO! I guessed at day 3 of 5 days of sticky glue CM. But I could of ovulated on the 5th day which would make me 10DPO not 12. I didn't do any testing to check it!

I have 1 digital left, and 1 supermarket test but no more FRERS. The supermarket one was neg today too but think they have a higher HCG level needed.

Fingers crossed 🤦🏻‍♀️

Well AF has just made an appearance!! Only CD24 again, same as last month!!! No idea what is going on!!! 😕

@Purple29 are you taking pregnacare? That made my periods shorter

@ladybuggoldfinch

@Purple29 are you taking pregnacare? That made my periods shorter

No I take the seven seas ones, never really had a problem with it. Might look into vit b. I'm almost 40 so I hope it's not a bad sign?!

@Purple29 my cycles are also 23-24 days long. I take vit b, vit c and seven seas, hope those work. Mine has been like this since the birth of our child.

@Kitty901 thanks ill try all of these. I also take CoQ10. When my cycle started after DS I seemed to have settled into 27 days, but since my ectopic they have been shorter.

Is it normal to get temp dips throughout the TWW when BBT @Sassy144? My temp seems to be ever so slightly lower in comparison to yesterday 🤔

I need to find a better BBT chart to plot my readings as this one doesn't give me a clear lime to show temps before ovulation like yours does.

I did an ovulation calculator and I'm supposed to be ovulating from yesterday (20th) but the ovulation tests keep coming back negative. Is this normal?

@allthingssparkly yes totally normal to still go up and down slightly. Mine's a bit down on yesterday too. @Purple29 @Kitty901 I'm also in the 23/24 day cycle club.

Thank you @Sassy144 I have inputted my temps into the fertility friend app and it's much easier to make sense of the chart 😊

Counting down the days till the TWW is over 🤣

@allthingssparkly that's great it is easier to see there, it's easier to make sense of it all when you have a whole cycle in front of you too. Only a few days in and the tww is going excruciatingly slow!

It really is going SO slow @Sassy144 🙄😩🙄

Ha, if you think the TWW game is slow you should try the waiting to ovulate when your cycle is a bit wonky game! I don’t temp as I think I have too many random wake-ups but I’m ov testing and on CD15 and although I’m expecting to ovulate any day now (last cycle was 30 days) my second lines have pretty much properly disappeared after being 0.28/0.3 on CD11 and CD12 🤔🤷‍♀️

@curliegirlie what a pain, especially when you've started dtd a lot in anticipation of ovulation and it seems to never arrive, gets exhausting 😂
