I finished the last thread..if you want to continue your journey ❤️

I may have forgotten some. Please add🙏

@TheBirdintheCave has it levelled off, dropped a little or dropped a lot? There are sooo many things that can affect bbt.

@Indianna2006 hahaha 😂

This is what it looks like. The three white circle temps are when I had Covid.

My normal post O temp is 36.90ish.

@TheBirdintheCave bbt ignorant here but I've seen plenty of these this past wee while. Are slight dips so early on not normal? I don't know how you do the temping but I sleep with my mouth open (attractive, very🙈) and that would affect a reading, as @LuckyMoonstone says so many things can affect it. You know you've ovulated, I'd find it hard to argue with an actual ultrasound of that.

On that, I got a text message from the trust today. It's actually laughable the waiting time. I can laugh because I'm not in pain and the bleeding seems to have settled. For now. DH is livid. It's been 4 weeks with no action 🤣🤣 do they expect people to live like this?!

If it starts again I'll be hitting another a@e unfortunately. Or getting a private apt but the money tree is wearing out. Everything is soo expensive 😭

I'm gonna watch that panorama documentary now. 😢

8/9dpo and easy at home this morning looked like a faint faint faint shadow. Obv nothing to get excited about because it could have been a trick of my eyes but I'm sure there was something there 🤔 since I have several to waste I might do another this afternoon 😂

@bringmearainbow it’s so hard to stop once you start 😂 want to share a pic?

@bringmearainbow Photo photo!

@LuckyMoonstone @TheBirdintheCave so obviously I have zero self control this afternoon my arse 😂 another e@h has a faint line and a boots early has the faintest pink line I have taken pictures but the camera just doesn't pick it up 🙄 fml I think I might actually be pregnant 😳🤔

Forgot one

Yep I see those clear as day! :D Congrats! 😬 What do you need do do now? Is there a medication change or are you on everything already?

@bringmearainbow I can see a line on every one 😍

@TheBirdintheCave @LuckyMoonstone 🙈 eek I really wasn't sure if I could capture it on camera 😂 I just need to get my prescription for the blood thinners progesterone and pred. Dr said don't get them until I get a positive because the blood thinners are expensive. I can't start taking them until Friday anyway because I'm currently in menorca. I'll have to send DH out to pick them all up since he's at home

@bringmearainbow eeee I’m so happy for you, excited to see that line progression

@bringmearainbow congratulations lovely ❤️

@bringmearainbow I can see it too!! 😍 so glad you have a plan and meds this time 🤞🏼🤞🏼
did they say how long you need blood thinners for? First trimester I guess? xx

@LuckyMoonstone @MrsJGrealish thank you ladies ❤️

@Indianna2006 I'm happy there's a plan I just hope we can get to the end this time🤞🏼 yes all the meds are just for 8 weeks to take me through the first tri when I suppose the baby becomes a bit more self sufficient 🤔xx

My boots one has def dried with a visible pink line now. I've only got one boots left, a clear blue early and about 7 e@h I'll go get a blood test at the EPU on Friday

@bringmearainbow ahh yes i see. Yes I think the reason for having those antibodies etc means it’s only stuff that will affect initial early pregnancy stages in relation to loss. As presume it’s about the initial blood supply and how well the fetus imbeds I think in the uterine wall.

after that presume you only need them if you yourself are at risk of a blood clot etc with the risk factor or age and whatever they add up on there sheets 😅

This time I didn’t need them. But I had them last time cos they’d changed the criteria where family history of bloody clots only scored 1 and you needed 3 things to need them so that was a bonus as there a bit stingy.
altho I did need them 6 weeks after my section cos of my history. But just press the plungers slow and it’s not as stingy 🙈 xx

Still no temp rise here ffs 🙄 When will it end? 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was planning on using extra progesterone from 3dpo following a study I read but I can't do that now despite it looking like I really need it 😭

@TheBirdintheCave it's really tricky to tell as you started temping so late in your cycle you haven't got a decent baseline to compare against, which is why FF is struggling to confirm ovulation. Looking at your temperatures you may well have already ovulated a few days ago. Hang on in there!

@Indianna2006 yes don't think I'll need it after as I have no other risks. I remember taking it after DS but that was about 10 days I think can't say I'm looking forward to doing it for 8 weeks but I've got plenty of fatty bits so hopefully I'll cope 😅 the things we do!

@TheBirdintheCave that's frustrating. I thought scanning ovulation was more accurate than bbt so hopefully your scan is accurate 🤞🏼

Got a good line this morning for 9/10dpo. I'm feeling a bit anxious that I won't start any meds until Friday but nothing that can be done about it.

@bringmearainbow Those are good lines :D Try and enjoy the rest of your holiday though I know it's easier said than done when you're worried ❤

@curliegirlie Yeah I never saw much point temping from day 1 when I knew O wouldn't happen until post CD16. My normal post O temp is 36.90 ish so that's why I'm still wondering about it. If it has already happened then I'd be a bit concerned that my progesterone levels were too low to cause a temp rise 😕

In a small update I found a couple of extra ovulation strips in a drawer so just took one and it's very dark, 0.78 according to the PreMom scanner so maybe O has either just happened or is about to? Boobs are sore this morning too. I cannot stand not knowing when I can test 😂

@bringmearainbow those are very lovely looking lines - I have everything crossed for you that this really is it!

@TheBirdintheCave I think Covid also buggered up your pre ov temps, as even starting late you'd have had a good few days baseline, but between the temps you had to disregard and the two slightly aus higher temps around them, we have little to go on. Interesting that you might have had a LH peak yesterday though...maybe everything has been pushed back slightly?

@curliegirlie Yeah I think I'll just have to call this cycle a write off. I've bought some more OPKs just in case it's that but they're not arriving until tomorrow at some point so I'll miss testing tomorrow morning. Will use my last one this evening and will hopefully catch a peak if that's what's happening.

@TheBirdintheCave DD2 was conceived when I weirdly ovulated on CD24!
