@Muriel84 sorry to hear what you're going though.

SnookyPook · 20/05/2023 08:15

Morning all. @Muriel84 like the others, sending so many positive vibes your way and really hope that this isn't the beginning of another loss for you. Big hugs xx

TheFanciestPants · 20/05/2023 10:32

@Muriel84 either way you deserve a lovely bath and a unicorn to hang out with! I am so sorry it's so so stressful, we all have our fingers crossed for you. Sending positive vibes xxx
@VixFromThe6ix thanks lovely. Yeah we do a lot to distract ourselves but definitely had a few tough days since my mc. I think the problem is, we like to do a LOT of exercise and realistically 8 to 10 hours of hiking isn't going to help us get pregnant.
The wine and the box set sound great. Enjoy your long weekend.

VixFromThe6ix · 20/05/2023 12:22

@Muriel84 fingers crossed for you. Hope for good news on Monday.

@Muriel84 hoping for the best for you

@Muriel84 i hope everything is ok x

@Muriel84 Spotting can be normal.

On my 7 week scan and on my 10 week scan 2 days ago the sonographer saw a small area of blood. This is caused by a bruise during implantation and apparently quite common. The sonographer said it will either leave my body through spotting or it will get absorbed in the body.

Maybe your spotting is also caused by such a bruise and your blood has already left the body.

Wishing you the best xx

Mummyme87 · 20/05/2023 20:17

Sorry to hear about the cramps and spotting @Muriel84 I’ve everything crossed and hope Mondays scan will provide some good news for you

Mrsspoon3 · 20/05/2023 21:05

Thinking of you @Muriel84. This must be so stressful for you. Praying all is ok x

LeopardLover · 20/05/2023 22:14

@Muriel84 Sending you all the good vibes and thinking of you! I know two women who had quite a bit of bleeding early on but went on to have healthy pregnancies. I had loads of cramping early in my last pregnancy too. 💜

emmatcc1 · 21/05/2023 09:16

Does anyone here track bbt? My temps dropped today almost to the coverline at 3dpo. Now I’m worried it has something to do with progesterone.

Mrsspoon3 · 21/05/2023 12:49

@emmatcc1 I do! Mine did the same this month at 3dpo and I was worried also, but it did go back up again. Do you use the FF app? I comforted myself a bit looking at the chart gallery there as some of the temps from people who got pregnant that cycle are all over the place! So I think it’s ok for them to have the odd drop (which can also be caused by other external factors) as long as the general trend is of them being above cover line

emmatcc1 · 21/05/2023 12:55

@Mrsspoon3 Yes I use the ff and premom. I know I definitely ovulated as my temps went up very high like always. I did research a bit and so many said they had a dip at 3dpo and went on to get a positive.

emmatcc1 · 21/05/2023 12:56

@Mrsspoon3 Forgot to ask how many dpo are you?

Mrsspoon3 · 21/05/2023 13:07

Ooh that’s good then @emmatcc1, fingers crossed your dip is a good sign!! Unfortunately I’m out this cycle. I’m 12dpo and think my period is due tomorrow, but still testing negative (not even the faintest trace of a line for me to squint at!) so it’s a definite BFN. But don’t think my dip was to do with that or anything!

LeopardLover · 21/05/2023 15:16

@emmatcc1 The odd dip is totally fine! Fingers crossed for you.

@Mrsspoon3 You aren't out until you are out!!

LeopardLover · 21/05/2023 15:27

Hey everyone! I hope you're all enjoying your sunny weekends 😊 Can any veteran OPK experts please help? I had my peak yesterday, then today there's obviously been a dip. Does that mean ovulation has already happened or could it still be looming? I normally use the digital ones so I just stop testing. 😅 Thanks!

Mummyme87 · 21/05/2023 15:42

@LeopardLover ovulation will be 24-36hrs post positive OPK, and 8-20hours post peak (if peak wasn’t your first positive). So I would say you will probably be ovulating today

Oooh, thank you so much! 🌟 I'm hoping we can squeeze in DTD tonight but we have to be up at 3.30am to go to the airport so it's not looking likely 😫xx

Mummyme87 · 21/05/2023 18:28

@LeopardLover oooh airport! Where are you off to?

Eirlys1986 · 21/05/2023 18:50

@LeopardLover enjoy your holiday and as for the pre airport DTD….you can do it! I believe in you! 💪 😂

LeopardLover · 21/05/2023 19:07

@Mummyme87 @Eirlys1986 Thanks ladies! Unfortunately we're on our way home from the Algarve 😭

Eirlys1986 · 21/05/2023 19:48

@LeopardLover oh no! That’s the less fun kind of airport 🙄. Well done for taking the OPK on holiday! I still believe you can DTD before airport though 😂

LeopardLover · 21/05/2023 21:13

@Eirlys1986 We actually need to be up at 3am 🤣 I'm up for it but you know 😅 I'm hoping DH is more awake tonight! I'm going to be secretly moody for the next two weeks otherwise 🤣

How are you feeling now?
