Thanks for the tag, still creeping around here xx

[bringmearainbow]

@TheBirdintheCave the premom has given up 😂 well all you can do is wait and see will you keep testing or have you got to the point of cba with testing now

@MrsJGrealish yay for peak 🥳 got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

@curliegirlie oh I hate that point of the cycle 🙈

[TheBirdintheCave]

@FfoxRedN I did one this morning but it was a 0.4 which seems to be the lowest mine go.

@curliegirlie 6dpo is always the worst part of the cycle for me.

@bringmearainbow I'll use up the ones I have left but there aren't many now. I have some EWCM today 🤔

[bringmearainbow]

@TheBirdintheCave your body is throwing everything out there this cycle 🙈

I've actually considered taking paracetamol today the cramps have been awful 😳 I feel so sorry for you ladies that get this every month

[TheBirdintheCave]

@bringmearainbow I hope the cramps have subsided now 🙏🏻

[MrsJGrealish]

@FfoxRedN 😂😂 must have been looking at my phone when they were on about 'speed bumping' last night was all about the goods🙈 did you give your OPK a go yet?

Hope everyone else is ok and plodding through this cycle, successful or not ❤️

[FfoxRedN]

@MrsJGrealish yeah it's still low so there is time 🙏🏼. DH is on strict orders to sort himself tonight in preparation 🤣. Bless them, we do take the mystery out of it hey 😂 xx

[MrsJGrealish]

@FfoxRedN ahh he'll have missed you so much I think you've no worries 😉 but yea sorting himself out is good! I'll never forget my experience of 'explosion' 🙈

I came home from work to find DH standing with 3 different online packages with my name on them. Why do I need more shoes? Even I'm thinking wtf 🤣

[bringmearainbow]

@TheBirdintheCave yep they've subsided now thank god. I actually felt like my uterus was going to fall out everytime I went for a wee 😂 honestly bloody body 🙄

[TheBirdintheCave]

So I had a temp dip today. Two days of normal 36.6 and then this morning it's 36.4. Maybe ovulation is today?? But then why have I had no LH rise yesterday? 😂

[bringmearainbow]

@TheBirdintheCave I got a big temp dip day before peak this cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe it will happen later for you. What's cm like?

[TheBirdintheCave]

@bringmearainbow Still EWCM I think. I'm just totally baffled by this cycle 😂

[bringmearainbow]

@TheBirdintheCave I think we're having sympathy cycles 😂 I haven't had a huge temp rise this morning it's up but not super up but my god my boobs are painful af 🙄

[Indianna2006]

oh girls what a rigmarole. Why don’t bodies just do what there meant to do 🧐🧐

@bringmearainbow I reckon yours has done it cos the pains but you just take while to see a rise don’t you as we’ve learnt.

@TheBirdintheCave have you done at opks today? Tbf no idea from your chart 😅😅 so don’t think I can be much help.

@FfoxRedN enjoy him getting back 😁😁

Hope rest of you girls all okay xx

[bringmearainbow]

@Indianna2006 yes it's going up so that's all that matters and tbf this is my first month just using my watch and do you know what since I stopped having to wake up for bbt I have slept the bloody best and super solidly since before ds was born I'm not going back to taking bbt again 😂

[TheBirdintheCave]

@bringmearainbow I think yours has definitely happened. Fingers crossed mine goes up tomorrow 🙏

@Indianna2006 I did, still the same 0.4. No worries about not being able to work out my chart as I don't think any of us can 😂

Anyway, I can't do anything about it. I think I'll test on the 13th of March (which is the anniversary of when I got my bfp with my son) if AF doesn't come before then.

[FfoxRedN]

@TheBirdintheCave @bringmearainbow your cycles have definitely been hard to decipher this month! I hope that means you've been lucky.
Still low OPK for me which is weird as I had ovulation pain, although I have had a handful of cycles before where I've felt it a bit earlier than temps have indicated. Maybe that's the last surge of growth, who knows 🤣. xx

[bringmearainbow]

@TheBirdintheCave I've got everything crossed it rises for you 🤞🏼

@FfoxRedN oooh yay im glad that egg has held on for when you needed it 👏🏼 at least your cycle is behaving 😂 I'll def be out this cycle don't think sperm survive more than 5 days 🤔 though I suppose there might be a vvvvv slim chance if my egg released very early as we dtd quite late on Thursday. But I'm certainly not holding my breath on that one I wont bother testing I'll just wait for AF which will be due 12th and I'm 99.9% sure she will arrive

[TheBirdintheCave]

@FfoxRedN Hopefully the timing lines up for you nicely now!

I had my usual O pains this evening around 9pm so looks like my temp dip was accurate this morning. Guess I just missed the LH peak? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[FfoxRedN]

@TheBirdintheCave it's quite possible! I forgot to bring OPKs with me to work today. Doh!!! DTD attempt one is done. 🙏🏼. Although the pressure gets to DH and it almost didn't happen, gonna be a long 3 days 😂 xx

[TheBirdintheCave]

@FfoxRedN Will you keep testing today?

My temp went up today :) Fingers crossed for a continued rise now. Please please let that have been it 😂

We tried to dtd last night but husband couldn't manage it (a first for him so he was quite sad). If yesterday was O then we managed O-1 and O-3. Not fantastic but still in with chance I think :)

[bringmearainbow]

@FfoxRedN yay glad you got one in at least 💪🏼 any super tricks you could pull out to help with the pressure?

@TheBirdintheCave thank Christ for that 😂 hopefully it was it I would have thought with a temp rise and no external contributing factors that it prob was it 🤞🏼 def still a chance. Bet you'll be relived to have a few days off now 😂

Well I still haven't had a super definitive temp rise but natural cycles has put my ovulation at CD19 FF not confirmed but tbf I am just using my watch so the temps are jumpy. Might take my oral temp tomorrow see what it says. I'm calling myself 2dpo today I know it's happened as boobs are sore

[FfoxRedN]

@TheBirdintheCave I will when I get home but that won't be until this eve. Those days are definitely a good enough chance and good that you're now getting that rise🤞🏼.
I hope your DH can forget about it, it's become a psychological problem for mine. Stick a Johnny on and he's struggling not to finish, so I did say maybe we should try that and get rid at the last minute 😂. Sorry...TMI!!!

[bringmearainbow]

@FfoxRedN there's never tmi in here is there 😂 I think you gotta try whatever works 🤷🏼‍♀️ though I think most have some sort of spermicide on them 🤔 I could be wrong though

[FfoxRedN]

@bringmearainbow the only trick is not to mention it. I'm sure I said before but my libido is not that high, so to do it every other day all month isn't an option, especially when I am away and sometimes he has to know it isn't optional. Only my suggestion below, or he just learns to deal with it and not think about babies whilst we're DTD 🙈. Did you get peak CD 19? It looks like that could be it as the temp was still quite low. Todays is from a different time so it may actually be slightly higher. It's about 0.1 degree below your coverline. If I was to guess I'd say you're 3DPO? xx
