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.

Oooh @Ncl31 fingers crossed it's a good sign 🤞

How is everyone getting on?

All good here, other than the major bloating 😂 had some light cramps/tugging and a stitch yesterday which has got me a bit paranoid, but I think it’s normal (like, it’s not painful) so I’m just going to try to ignore it I think. How are your symptoms?

@ginny93 I've not had too much except I'm pretty tired constantly now 🤣 fallen asleep on the sofa the last two nights 🤦‍♀️ every once in a while I feel a twinge but I think it's like you said, it's pretty normal. I was really cramping the night before my BFP and clearly doesn't mean anything so 🤞
Oh also I'm incredibly thirsty! Apparently that's a thing? It's such a random symptom though 🤣🤣🤣

Thirsty is a weird one 😂 I drink loads of water anyway though so I’m not sure I’d even notice tbh! Ah I remember being super tired last time - to the point I was basically falling asleep in meetings. Hasn’t hit yet but I’m guessing it won’t be long!

@ginny93 fair enough 😂 I'm a bit of a camel normally, don't drink anywhere near enough.
I didn't expect the tiredness to hit so soon but it definitely seems to have!

@Hotmalibu94 @ginny93 - isn't it so funny that we can all be a similar way into these pregnancies but have such different symptoms!

I don't have the thirst, occasional tiredness but not too bad but I (TMI) cannot stop burping!! But it's not actual burp, it's just like it's air 😂 and I feel like I've been doing 1000 crunches 😂 and occasionally feel like I've been on a rocky boat!

How is everyone else getting on?

@Hollie1802 oh yeah I have the burps too 😂 like little throat burps 😂 I'm a bit crampy this evening too.

@Hotmalibu94 yeah I've had some cramping too, I've been trying not to worry about it because it can be so normal!

7DPO, had two more episodes of the weird cm today.
felt nauseous this morning too and have totally lost my appetite but I’m not sure it is all in my head.

@Hollie1802 yeah I'm not worrying currently. Can't wait for my first appointment to get the ball rolling with this fun time 😂

@Ncl31 oooh sounds positive! When are you planning to test?

@Ncl31 I could have sworn that I had episodes of queasiness from around 7DPO - I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

@Hotmalibu94 im hoping I can hold off until 14dpo, so next Thursday.

@Hollie1802 it was weird, I felt really tired and queasy, then at about 1pm I just felt fine.

i have very mild cramping this evening too, but so mild I’m only noticing because I’m thinking about it I think.

@Hotmalibu94 me too, I'm not wanting to wish anything away but I'm looking forward to being out of this really scary early stage!

@Ncl31 I actually had to have a nap one day, it was before my positive so must have been around 8DPO and that was pretty out of character for me, and tonnes of cramps throughout the TWW - it's hard though isn't it because I found that so many of my symptoms could be period related!

I did also have that BBT dip at 6DPO, which I know a lot of you guys have had in normal cycles, but for me it was the one one I had that so I think for me it definitely had something to do with it.

@Hollie1802 @Ncl31 I definitely felt queasy earlyish on in the TWW too. Then it disappeared which was odd because I felt queasy the last few months before AF 😂
I found my main thing has been the lack of usual AF symptoms. And my BBT chart was a bit suspish 😂 it was an odd month bbt wise. @Hollie1802 this was actually the only month I didn't have a temp drop I think!
@Ncl31 oh that's a good shout, it's definitely better to wait rather than test too early. I'll be waiting with baited breath!

@Hotmalibu94 do you have your chart that I could take a look at?
it’s just weird isn’t it. one minute I’m convinced I’m pregnant the next I’m convinced I’m not

@Hotmalibu94 that's so crazy isn't it! How different our bodies are, that a temp drop for me was pregnancy and no temp drop for you was pregnancy 🤦🏻‍♀️ it's a minefield!

@Ncl31 I think the variety of different peoples symptoms etc makes it so hard not to speculate! I was convinced one minute that I was pregnant and the next trying to tell myself not to get my hopes up! It's so hard!

@Ncl31 this was this month's chart. I'll attach last month's below to show the difference! Mainly my temp didn't go high anywhere near as quick and it didn't go as high as usual either.

This was last month for comparison. Lovely clear temp drop there @Hollie1802 😂

@Hotmalibu94 that's mad isn't it! I just looked at mine but I just yesterday added the Apple Watch as the way of temping and so it's removed my cover line!!! But I'll attach anyway, my cover line was always 36.56, so my drop was really low, for me anyway!

I will never get over how different it is for everyone!

@Ncl31 sorry to randomly jump on but wanted to say when I was pregnant with my first I got a lot of EWMC in the TWW period. Which was really weird for me cause I’d only get it normally in ovulation but it was a lot heavier and I noticed it more. Turns out I was pregnant, I don’t want to get your hopes up or anything but just wanted to say it could potentially be a sign. Got everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

@Mama09876 @Hollie1802 @Hotmalibu94
thank you all for your comments. It really is different for everyone isn’t it.
Ive not had any more jelly like cm over night so let’s see how today goes.
ive woken up with a little heart burn and nausea again.
I’ve attached my chart for this cycle so far. The actual temperatures are always a little lower than the oral readings because this is a skin sensor

Sorry been MIA, trying to enjoy some time off with DH on his annual leave but can't say I've been much fun! I've had terrible cramps since Monday and on my longest cycle yet and obviously BFN. Convinced myself I've got ashermans syndrome (hopefully my anxiety speaking) as I'm pretty high risk and my periods haven't been the same since my last D and C .

@Ncl31 Looking good!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Stickly Sorry about your BFN and to hear about your loss. Has your GP been helpful at all about your symptoms?

Premom estimates me at 4dpo today, nothing to report so far!

Hi can anyone advise me on what is happening with my chart? ☹️ normally 30 day cycle but ovulation came 3-4 days early this month.

@etaketak1991 I'd been holding off phoning just to see if things would settle but doesn't look like it. I'm due bloods again next week as I'm very often anaemic and that might be affecting me I suppose. I'm just desperate for my period to come and try again!
