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.

@Ncl31 your chart is looking good still tho, the previous small dip must have confused it but it can still happen. Well done for not testing all this time! Not sure I could have done it 😂

@etaketak1991 looking very promising and better than what you’ve had other cycles so hopefully will bring some good news soon. It’s understandable to try and keep calm otherwise could be more disappointing but keeping my fingers crossed for you!

1DPO today again for me! Most of fertile week my boobs been sore and still are alongside waking up with a headache which is fun! But it’s been quite busy so hopefully I won’t have time to dwell too much on another tww! 🤣

@etaketak1991 yeah that’s what I was thinking too, although I did have a very similar dip last cycle. The only difference is my temps didn’t go as high after the dip. Who knows, I’m just not sure I can face a BFN right now. I’d rather sit it out and see.
im feeling completely normal now and know its unlikely that I would get a BFP because of how late I ovulated anyway.
its so difficult not to get carried away with ourselves.
im just keeping my fingers crossed that I continue to have some more regular cycles and can lose enough weight to enrol into the letrozole va clomid drug trial at my fertility centre.
When are you planning on testing?

etaketak1991 · 27/10/2023 08:06

@Ncl31 Sending virtual hugs ❤️ Hope you can get enrolled on the trail soon!
I'll be testing tomorrow, all being well. I'm feeling poorly again today so now I'm worried that's what's bumping my temp 🙃 At least I should have an answer soon.

@CatiaR Hooray, welcome back to the TWW! Sorry things are busy, but at least you've got a distraction! Best of luck 🤞

CatiaR · 27/10/2023 08:30

@etaketak1991 not so bad being busy, its just in work anyway and I'd rather be a bit busier than no work at all :D

ginny93 · 27/10/2023 09:02

Ooh it’s looking exciting for you @etaketak1991! @Ncl31 even if you don’t get a bfp this month at least you’ll be able to see in hindsight when you did actually ovulate- hopefully that will help a bit with future cycles.
How’s everyone else getting on @Hollie1802 @Hotmalibu94 @MorningsideMaisie ?

MorningsideMaisie · 27/10/2023 09:42

Hi everyone and thanks for all the well wishes. @ginny93 I’m feeling fine so far - main symptom has been unquenchable thirst and then needing to pee constantly. Now I think back to the second half of the TWW, I constantly had a salty taste so I was probably just not drinking enough.

Overall, my symptoms are like a mild hangover before a period - queasy, tired, headache, period cramps and tender boobs. I’m also more emotional than usual, and had trouble sleeping earlier this week. I had really bad indigestion one evening, I think I was too hungry and then ate too fast so need to have more regular snacks!

I’ve only POAS once more since my (first ever) BFP last week, I woke up after a dream I’d had a bleed and just wanted some reassurance. I’m going to do a digital with weeks indicator this Sunday so I have some proof of progression. Much more anxious than I thought I’d be for it all to go well, so keeping everything crossed 🤞🏻

Hotmalibu94 · 27/10/2023 10:21

@Ncl31 so confusing but I agree with the others that I think the first prediction was correct if it coincided with EWCM etc! Fingers crossed for you. Also I'd have given in and tested by now so fair play 😂

@etaketak1991oooh exciting! I'll be waiting for your test tomorrow 🤞

@ginny93 I'm much the same as @MorningsideMaisie , the thirst is unreal 😅 I would normally drink one bottle of squash on a good day previously and now I'm on 3 a day instead, and therefore peeing constantly 😂 I'm 5+6 from LMP today so hoping if I call the hospital they'll finally register me. I test quite a lot because I'm super anxious which i didn't really expect! My boobs are a bit tender, but aside from the very occasional wave of nausea I'm just a bit tired and thirsty really 😅

Hollie1802 · 27/10/2023 14:58

@Ncl31 I would be inclined to agree and say that your original date was correct if you also had EWCM etc 🤔

@etaketak1991 fingers are crossed for you!! 🤞🏼

@ginny93 Im actually feeling fine, I'm 6 weeks exactly today based on LMP and I have had the odd day of feeling really rough, almost like a hangover but tbh for the most part I'm feeling ok! The odd nauseous moment but that's all so far...I'm sure it'll get worse 😂 I did my last clear blue with weeks on Wednesday and it came back 3+ which I was happy about as I never got that with my MMC!

@Hotmalibu94 With my area you self refer, and it says 'more than 6 weeks pregnant' but I did it today and within an hour I had my first appointment for 15/11! So definitely give it a go 😊

Hotmalibu94 · 27/10/2023 15:09

@Hollie1802 I'm only one day behind you!
I've called and had a long chat with someone, and I'll be hearing from a midwife in the next week or so to get my booking in appointment! Hopefully they'll call soon, I'd like to give work as much notice as possible! She's also sending out a little leaflet package of information so can't wait to get that! I'm so glad you're not having many symptoms either 😂 I asked the woman on the phone if it was normal 🥲

Huriya · 27/10/2023 17:30

@MorningsideMaisie Congratulationss!! How do you feel? x

@Hotmalibu94 How are you feeling as well? Any symptoms kicked in?

Hotmalibu94 · 27/10/2023 18:27

@Huriya not much! Ive been testing quite frequently because I'm so worried it's a bad thing but I think maybe I just need to accept it and feel lucky that I have very few symptoms 😅

Huriya · 27/10/2023 18:31

@Hotmalibu94 honestly count yourself blessed lol. I had a terrible day yesterday spent majority of it crying and i dont even know why 😭 but im progressing so fast now im 13+2 today and in the second trimester 🥹🥹 .
Have you contacted your midwife?

CatiaR · 27/10/2023 18:43

@Huriya wow second trimester already! Time flies! Glad to hear back from you 😊

so nice to see that most of the thread got their bfps now 🥰

Ncl31 · 27/10/2023 18:57

Thanks everyone for your support.
still no AF today, had an episode of a fair bit of CM, feeling a little niggly today as though AF might arrrive.
last cycle AF arrived on 16DPO so hopefully over the weekend it does arrive.

its so exciting hearing you all talk about your up coming appointments.

one of the girls I manage today came to tell me she is pregnant today. I’m so happy for her because just 2 months ago I had to take her to emergency assessment as she was miscarrying, her partner was working away so I sat with her for hours.
she was scared to tell me today because she thought I’d be upset, bless her.

CatiaR · 27/10/2023 19:04

@Ncl31 aww love her, glad she was able to conceive again and fingers crossed for a better outcome for her.

fingers crossed for you that either AF does show or you get a little surprise!

OP posts:
Ncl31 · 27/10/2023 19:11

@CatiaR yeah fingers crossed on both accounts.
how are you feeling being back in the TWW? I see you’re busy with work which should help pass the time I guess

CatiaR · 27/10/2023 21:07

@Ncl31 quite excited at the minute but we’ll see how long it will last! My birthday is in a couple days too so it will be nice to have that day off work. We got a golden retriever meet up potentially on my birthday too so my pupper will love it.

My part time counter part in work resigned so wondering what that will mean for me too but she was fairly rubbish at her job anyway and I’ve picked up loads of her job so I reckon they won’t replace her. Probably got enough to keep me busy for a little while 😂

OP posts:
Ncl31 · 27/10/2023 21:13

Ooooooh sounds pretty exciting few days ahead then.
thats rubbish that you’re picking up the work though, I hope they don’t put too much on to you.

etaketak1991 · 28/10/2023 06:41

So I had a nice big temp drop today 🙃 and what I thought was a negative test... but it's scanning into premom as 0.03? I imagine it's probably an evap, but does anyone have better eyes than me? 😂 annoyed I didn't test twice now.

Ncl31 · 28/10/2023 06:52

@etaketak1991 i can’t see anything but my eyes are terrible unless it’s a blazing positive.
sorry to hear your temp has dropped.
mine has dropped from my second peak right back down to my original peak. Last cycle I got AF the day after I started to drop, so fingers crossed she arrives sooner than later so I can crack on with another cycle.
i hope you get your answer soon

CatiaR · 28/10/2023 06:53

@etaketak1991 oh no! Has it dropped below coverline?

I can’t see anything on the test but again I just woke up!

OP posts:
etaketak1991 · 28/10/2023 06:59

@Ncl31 Argh sorry to hear about your temp drop too. Hope we both get answers soon 🤞

@CatiaR I'll attach the chart here. Not under cover line yet but headed that way, fast. If AF isn't here on Monday I'll test again, but just a bit frustrated for now!

CatiaR · 28/10/2023 07:02

@etaketak1991 ah I see what you mean. Mine does that sometimes or others right until the day of it does a big drop. Wouldn’t hold a lot of hope but temps change for so many factors you never know.

@Ncl31 ah sorry for your drop maybe at least AF would be here sooner for you. But again you never know until it comes.

isnt ttc fun?

OP posts:
etaketak1991 · 28/10/2023 07:12

For heaven's sake I just rescanned the same bloody.photos and they're now coming up 0.00. My body and premom are in cahoots. Safe to say it's a BFN 😂 Onto the next cycle!

Ncl31 · 28/10/2023 10:37

oh the joys!
sorry to hear the confusion with the app - they rule our minds sometimes I feel.
ive attached my chart too. Its not below ovulation yet but quickly on its way - like yourself @etaketak1991
