@bunnykins123 I know I was thinking that the other day when I came across the sunflower pic in my photo reel. And thought I knew them opening was significant. I just could feel it in my waters 😂🌻 will forever be fond of sunflowers now!
Ahh gender scan so exciting 🥰 I’ve really like this time knowing the sex. I’ve felt really bonded with her in a different way. A can imagine life as a 4 I guess.

@calimc83 how weird you’ve had complete opposite to me. They wouldn’t check heartbeat at 16w. But have died EVERY other appointment. They always do the doppler now. I have 34 midwife appt tomo actually.
Surprise will be lovely. Any inclined? Bet you have to be up crack of dawn tomorrow. Best of luck. Can’t wait to see who he/she is 🥰🥰🥰

@curliegirlie totally understandable. You can’t just squash those feelings. It’s super hard. Deffo hard talk with DH though.

@MrsJGrealish you do have 3 amazing DC. 🥰 But also totally okay to have that want because of a surprise pregnancy that you lost. I think that’s so common isn’t it. And we’ve all got fingers crossed that it will happen for you.
I understand a need to eventually draw a line though. But again same as for curliegirlie it’s so hard to say right that it. We’re done. A drop all those emotions about it.

@bringmearainbow ooooh! Well July 🧐 well you never know though. Just try keep positive and keep going 🙌🏻🤞🏼 don’t try read into it too much.
I do remember getting mine and it was like not getting pregnant for another 6 months. Mine did actually weirdly turn out right 😫😫 but again very unsure how much is just fluke lol

MrsJGrealish · 09/03/2023 19:59

@Indianna2006 aww you remembered my story! Sml ❤️ the positive test that day was a memory I'll have forever. I wasn't trying just thought weird I've had pain but no bleeding. The hcg tests lit like ovulation sticks. I remember being so excited but mid covid my gp couldn't get hold of my neurologist and I haemorrhaged because of the different blood thinners. Should have known myself to stop them but was told no. The letter to stop them came 2 weeks after my miscarriage. Live, learn and trust yourself Xx

@calimc83 I can't even begin to imagine what you're feeling..wishing you so much luck lovely lady, you've got this 💗💙🥰

calimc83 · 09/03/2023 21:30

@MrsJGrealish @Indianna2006 thank you ☺️ I've still not allowed myself to get excited yet..,it's so weird! Think self preservation has really kicked in throughout this pregnancy..a lot of people think girl but honestly I'm clueless. I've got an afternoon slot as well which is annoying! Just want it done 😫 xx

MrsJGrealish · 09/03/2023 22:16

It is FINALLY snowing in NI ❄️ bfn at 7dpo after work. Bit crampy too 😖might give tomorrow a miss. Wanna save some ICs for next cycle 😅

TheBirdintheCave · 09/03/2023 23:30

@MrsJGrealish Sorry for the bfn :( Is the snow sticking? It's basically a biblical flood here in Sussex 🙄 You'd never have known there was any snow at all.

@calimc83 Will be thinking of you tomorrow 😬

I'm really starting to worry that this cycle is anovulatory which is going to ruin everything IVF wise 😭 The only other time I didn't ovulate was 2018 and AF didn't arrive until CD60 🤦🏻‍♀️ Can't be doing with that again.

OP posts:
bringmearainbow · 10/03/2023 07:02

BFN for me this morning

@TheBirdintheCave oh Blimy I really hope not for you 😳 your temp not done much?

TheBirdintheCave · 10/03/2023 07:53

@bringmearainbow Behold. I am clearly turning into an ice beast 😂

Thought maybe there was a shadow of something on mine this morning but nope. Bfn for me too.

@TheBirdintheCave 🙈 I have no words for your chart! It's crazy! 😂

TheBirdintheCave · 10/03/2023 11:02

@bringmearainbow I really have no idea what's going on. Am I going to ovulate or is AF going to arrive on time? I just want something to happen to point me in the right direction. Praying for a temperature rise at some point so that I can at least feel that the cycle's not been wasted.

OP posts:
FfoxRedN · 10/03/2023 12:22

@TheBirdintheCave that is a very odd chart. Although, my post ovulation temps don't seem to have passed my coverline, what the hell is going on!? I'm wondering if my thermometer is broken 🤣. Or perhaps I just didn't start temping early enough?!

When is AF due for you? Xx

POAS girls: Fertility super slueths 🔎
TheBirdintheCave · 10/03/2023 12:33

@FfoxRedN Hmm yeah I think it would properly need some earlier temps to decide on a cover line for you. They do seem higher than what would be the average of the lower temperatures though so I think you're all good :D Has it given you a coverline on FF? Normally there's a horizontal red line too.

According to my darkest OPK strips (before I ran out of them), the Premom app decided that AF should be due on Monday. My temps definitely don't reflect any sort of ovulation though.

OP posts:
MrsJGrealish · 10/03/2023 14:06

Well I think AF is coming for me. No symptoms or anything just DH is annoying the F**K outta me 😡 he's looking for a specific pair of sunglasses..they all look the same mate 🤷‍♀️ I actually might open wine

Sorry you all have confusing charts ☹️

bringmearainbow · 10/03/2023 16:13

@FfoxRedN could that very high temp on peak day just be a bit random?

@MrsJGrealish ahhh rubbish open the wine! We don't have anything nice at home only gross red wine 🙄

MrsJGrealish · 10/03/2023 16:20

@bringmearainbow agree. Gross 🤢 he actually patted me down to make sure I didn't have the glasses. Beyond belief. Then said you wreck yours so don't want mine to be ruined, in my head I'm thinking 'I think you'll find DH that you sat on my last pair' 🙄

bringmearainbow · 10/03/2023 16:24

@MrsJGrealish 😂 no words really bloody men 👊🏼

FfoxRedN · 10/03/2023 16:40

@TheBirdintheCave @MrsJGrealish @bringmearainbow yeah it could be a random high temp, but FF hasn't put the coverline on there. The red line is only there because I put 'peak' OPK in the data. So strange! I might add a few previous temps to see if it appears!
I'm deffo opening wine tonight, maybe a little fizzy number 😂.

LuckyMoonstone · 10/03/2023 16:58

@MrsJGrealish you and DH make me laugh so much 😅

so jealous of all the wine drinking going on tonight. Send me all your ‘gross’ red wine I love it 😋

FfoxRedN · 10/03/2023 16:59

I put in a couple of lows prior and its now shifted the ovulation to CD14. So 36-48 hours after my peak. Who knows, it's either one 🤯. Mind boggling! This cycle is throwing it all at us all!! xx

MrsJGrealish · 10/03/2023 17:03

@FfoxRedN he's getting more annoying yet he found the sunglasses. How can this be 😂 fizzy wine is my fav! I think AF due Monday for me (11/12 dpo) still no sore boobs so awaiting its arrival. I might waste an expensive test on Sunday I have 4 and I'm fed up squinting 😘

TheBirdintheCave · 10/03/2023 17:36

Haha I hate red wine too 😂 Husband loves it. Gin and tonic for me tonight 😬

Let's keep you pregnant 😘 I feel like if we ever met in real life we'd get into trouble 🤣🤣 a bottle of red coming your way in September 🥰

Hope you're keeping well lovely, hope you aren't feeling too sick Xx

LuckyMoonstone · 10/03/2023 18:19

@MrsJGrealish definitely 😂 ah I am thank you, still feeling a bit but no where near as much as a few weeks ago

TheBirdintheCave · 10/03/2023 20:40

@calimc83 I hope everything went well and you're cuddling a gorgeous baby now! 🥰

I have a blurry evap line if anyone's interested 😂😂 early night tonight

FfoxRedN · 10/03/2023 21:56

@MrsJGrealish 😳 are you testing again in the morning?? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I hope it's real and there again.

@calimc83 I hope you're all doing well lovely 🥰 xxxx
