BBTing our way to a BFP in September 🎉 cont.

[CatiaR]

Hi @hotmalibu94.

I’m good thanks, still bfn today at 11dpo but temps still high so we’ll see what happens.

@Ncl31 how are you today ?

the other thread got full so I started a new one 😊

I’ll add now all I can remember but keep adding who else I missed!
@pinkmarshmalloww@Huriya @thejollytrolleydolly @ginny93@MorningsideMaisie@Myna13

@hotmalibu94 sounds like you’re getting into your fertile week soon so that’s exciting! Fingers crossed for you this cycle.

@Hollie1802 omg Congrats!!!!! So happy for you Happy and a healthy 9 months.

My temps were good even FF said 85pts and likely to be pregnant I was so hopeful, even got a Beauty Spot / Luteal Dip. But today 12DPO negative test like Nada and very bad PMS symptoms. No period yet but my apps, well 1 says tomorrow the other says Monday.

Feeling very odd like panicky and emotional worst PMS symptoms and while LO napped I cried for 2 hours. No flipping clue why! Not had PMS this bad before.
LO was super clingy and wanted lots of hand holding amd cuddles all day which helped me loads. I winder if he sensed my mood.

Temp still high 🎉

@MixedCouple I hope AF stays away for you 💕 how's your temp today, still looked good yesterday?

@Hollie1802 oh wow! Yeah it does just take the one go doesn't it 😅 always a good reminder for the rest of us!
@Ncl31 oh what a pain, hopefully you get a clear idea of where you're at soon!

@Hotmalibu94 ooh, well that's great news fingers crossed it's for the reason we hope but if not then those vitamins have done wonders for your luteal phase! You were due AF today weren't you? When are you thinking of doing a test? Or just going to wait it out??

@Ncl31 Thank you, fingers crossed it becomes clearer for you soon! It must be so frustrating!

@MixedCouple Thank you! How was your temp this morning? I do think FF giving you a % chance can make it even more disappointing if it doesn't happen, which is the last thing we all need on this journey!! But tbf, my main symptom before my BFP was cramps that were exactly the same as my period!! So you never know, it's just frustrating that the symptoms for both are so similar!

@Hollie1802 I don't know 😅 I don't really fancy testing before work but maybe tomorrow is too early. I could always try it I suppose if my temp stays high. Today is 11dpo so still fairly early 😅

@Hotmalibu94 Yeah, it is, was AF due today?

I think it depends on how early you implant as to how early you'll see a positive but who knows how anyone is supposed to know that! 🤔

@Hollie1802 yeah would have been due today. Maybe I just wait and see what happens. Or maybe I use an IC tomorrow 😂 who knows. I work monday-thursday so otherwise I'll either have to test and then go to work or wait til Friday.

@Hotmalibu94 You have so much more willpower than me 😂 I knew those cheapies were in there and couldn't help myself 😂😂 maybe wait til tomorrow and if your temp is still up then give one a go? It's so hard isn't it! And everyone's bodies are so different! My line at 11 & 12 DPO were really clear and visible but then my friend couldn't even see a faint line until 13...it makes it hard to know when to test to avoid disappointment!

@Hollie1802 @Hotmalibu94 very frustrating for sure. Although I’ve had a temp spike today so just have to see the next few days to hopefully get confirmed ovulation. We have DTD a good few times this week so at least we would have those dates covered.
although it would mean ov on CD31 so not sure of my chances with that

@Hollie1802 yeah I guess it would be 12dpo so potentially a better chance of a positive. If my temp is low I won't bother. Could just be a longer luteal phase, which would still be great. Especially as we only DTD 2, 4 and 5 days before ov and the day after. So didn't exactly time it well 😅

Oooh @Ncl31 hopefully that's ovulation then! I wouldn't worry it was late in the cycle, still in for a chance! X

@Ncl31 fingers crossed it is!!

@Hotmalibu94 Yeah exactly that, either one is a win!! Especially as you were worried about the short luteal phase! It's so hard though isn't it, to make sure you are covering all bases, especially if you just aren't feeling it 😂

I’ve attached my chart.
it’s predicting fertile window later but I’m hoping that’s because it was the length of my last cycle and this one is going to be shorter. Only second cycle using it.

Travelled to see some family for the day and ended up staying over so I don't have my thermometer and deffo won't be testing tomorrow 🤦‍♀️ finding it stressful that I won't be able to see my BBT tomorrow to see if I should expect af or not.

@Hotmalibu94 try not to stress too much. I know it’s easy to say. But try to enjoy the time with your family, next time you see them you might have some exciting news to tell.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Finally in the TWW. BBT confirmed I ovulated on Thursday at CD31.
today is 3DPO
@Hotmalibu94 how are you this morning? Any sign of AF?

@Hotmalibu94 glad your temps are staying high. Waiting game for those last few days.

My temps have dropped booo. But now PMS since Friday. Infact high Libido lasts night. 100% abnormal for me right before AF shows up. I should have had my period Fri/Sat not shown up yet. Of course I forgot to POAS this morning!!!!! Of course!!! Thenday Inopen FF and it tells ke to test 😂 typical. We have a day of hiking so hope AF stays away until at least tonight.
As you do, looking at the Charts like mine on FF seeing a few late + HPTs around 15/17DPO after Negatives some.with temp sips at the same time........ Winding myself up.

Hope everyone is doing well. Congrats to the BFPS.

@Ncl31 Hooray, back in the TWW! I'm glad it's a shorter cycle for you this time.

@Hotmalibu94 Sending strength, that must be frustrating!

I'm taking a break from TTC this cycle, turns out my cold is a bad chest infection and doctor has ordered bed rest and a chest x-ray 🙃

@MixedCouple oooooh that’s exciting.
let’s hope AF stays away and you get a BFP tomorrow.

@etaketak1991 awww that sounds rough, I hope you’re feeling better soon.

DH has just informed me this morning that if his swimmers do their job then we need to move/cancel our anniversary holiday to Santorini next July as that’ll be bang on when we’re due. Ooooops!

@Ncl31 thank you for the positive vibes. I am pessimistic but a tiny bit of hope.
@ your OH 😂 🤣

@Ncl31 yay! Glad you're in the TWW finally 🎉 I'm ok, no real sign of AF but I don't get many signs except low temp so I'm just gonna have to keep an eye out today 😭 I guess tomorrow if my temp is high I might do a test! Funny about the holiday 😂 I'm sure rearranging won't be too difficult if you need to.

@MixedCouple hopefully my temp would have still been high today but I won't know until tomorrow now unless AF shows today 🤦‍♀️ wish I just packed my thermometer anyway 😂 fingers crossed the drop doesn't mean anything and it'll be back up again tomorrow 🤞

@etaketak1991 oh bless you! Hope you're ok, and hope the x-ray is done and dusted quickly and just shows infection.

Crying 😭 I can't believe it!

@Hotmalibu94 oh my goodness! Congratulations! 🥳
did you temp this morning too? Or just go straight for it?

so happy for you, happy and healthy 9 months x

@Ncl31 I temped (all night as I kept waking up every 2 hours 😂) and it was constantly high so this morning I thought I'd test and we were telling each other it's been a good cycle regardless as it's been longer than usual! Just in utter shock.

@Hotmalibu94 ahhhhhhh!! I am sooo happy for you! 🥳

@Hotmalibu94 Ahh that's fantastic news!! So happy to see another BFP on the thread, congratulations 🎉🎉
