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.

Morning all. I dropped a good way below the cover line this morning, so this definitely isn't my month. It's been an interesting cycle this round. Keeping my fingers crossed for you @Ncl31 and @CatiaR 🤞🤞🤞

Aww no! Sorry to hear that @etaketak1991 heres to a better next cycle!

3dpo today so a long ways to go but nothing much apart from bbt rising every day a little bit, probably getting my coverline soon. My boobs had been really sore during fertile week which has mostly gone apart from just one side when I touch it but yeah.

@Ncl31 fingers crossed for you too! Hopefully you’ll know more one way or the other soon

@etaketak1991 ah man I’m sorry, hopefully AF arrives soon for you so you can start your next cycle.
@CatiaR I’ve dropped again today so I’m steadily going down, looks like I’m out too. Just waiting patiently for AF to come and go.

etaketak1991 · 29/10/2023 07:41

@CatiaR Sounding good so far! 🤞

@Ncl31 Oh no, I'm gutted for you, it looked so promising this cycle! Our bodies are cruel things sometimes. Hoping the next cycle is better for you ❤️

Ncl31 · 29/10/2023 11:03

@etaketak1991 ah thank you. To be honest, I ll just be happy for AF to arrive so I can officially say I’ve had a better length cycle.
it also means we won’t have to move our wedding anniversary holiday in July. The dates of my LMP for this cycle would have meant I would have been due bang on our wedding anniversary which would have been nice but at least we have the holiday to look forward to now.

Roseberry22 · 29/10/2023 18:14

Hope you ladies are all well!

I’ve had a weekend off here while away but AF has shown this afternoon so I’m definitely out. Onto month 5

etaketak1991 · 29/10/2023 18:28

@Roseberry22 Hey, we're cycle buddies for this round! Mine arrived about midday ❤️ Also moving into month 5! Hoping it's a lucky one.

Hotmalibu94 · 29/10/2023 18:49

@Roseberry22 @etaketak1991 sorry guys. Onwards and upwards! 💕

Ncl31 · 29/10/2023 19:12

@Roseberry22 @etaketak1991
im hoping im not far behind. AF still hadn’t shown for me yet. My app now says it’s due next Saturday though so let’s see.

good luck to you both this cycle!

@Roseberry22 Hey, we're cycle buddies for this round! Mine arrived about midday ❤️ Also moving into month 5! Hoping it's a lucky one.

Sending you all the baby dust hopefully our lucky months! Mine arrived just after midday so counting today as day 1 I never know when to start from 😂

@Ncl31 still time yet! Is your temp still high?

ReginaPhalange12 · 29/10/2023 22:40

Hi, I think I'm going to start BBTing next cycle. Does anyone have any app suggestions please? Also some basic information on what I need to do / what I need to look out for? Thank you

Ncl31 · 30/10/2023 05:35

@Roseberry22 no, it has plummeted today.
hoping AF arrives at some point today.

@ReginaPhalange12 Hello! Both Premom and Fertility friend are good apps to track BBT (I use both). If you haven't already got an ovulation thermometer (it shows two decimal places), I'd get one of those. Essentially, you are looking for a rise in temp after ovulation and for your temp to stay high until you get a BFP. Your temp usually drops the day before/ day of your period, but this can vary from person to person. You need to take your temp as soon as you wake up, before speaking, getting out of bed etc. Hope that helps, I'm sure one of these lovely ladies on the thread can add anything I've forgotten.

@Ncl31 Oh love, I'm sorry. Hoping AF arrives soon and doesn't mess you about ❤️

Ncl31 · 30/10/2023 06:18

@etaketak1991 thanks, im okay though, fully expected it. I’m just hoping it’s the start of some more normal cycles which will increase my chances of conception.

Roseberry22 · 30/10/2023 07:50

@Ncl31 sorry to hear your temp has dropped, hope AF arrives soon for you! Here’s hoping it’s all our lucky month 🍀

Welcome@ReginaPhalange12 as @etaketak1991 has said definitely invest in a thermometer to 2 decimal places, I use natural cycles app which I find easy to use. It takes a couple of months to know your cycle and what temperature to expect for yourself but once you do its helpful to confirm ovulation has occurred

@ReginaPhalange12 welcome! as the PPs said for BBT so nothing to add there, I find BBT insightful so worth a go!

@etaketak1991 @Roseberry22 @Ncl31 best of luck for next cycle, and @Ncl31 hopefully AF shows sooner rather than later!

4DPO here and just go slightly sore boobs and temps shot up again so just keep waiting! I got tomorrow off for my birthday so I'm sure I won't be stressing about it.

Ncl31 · 30/10/2023 08:29

@CatiaR good news that your temp is still rising…. Fingers crossed this is your last TWW.

im really hoping AF arrives today, rather just get on with it and move into the next cycle

ReginaPhalange12 · 30/10/2023 08:37

Thank you @CatiaR @Roseberry22 & @etaketak1991 I've been looking at thermometers so I'll get one of those & download some apps. Do I have to take my temperature at the same time every morning?

Ncl31 · 30/10/2023 08:56

@ReginaPhalange12 welcome!
it’s is recommended to do your temperature at the same time every day yes.

@Ncl31 who knows, not going to hold much expectations as it does seem to take a while for some people.

hopefully AF does turn up soon

Ncl31 · 30/10/2023 14:15

Having a day off today has meant I’ve driven myself crazy.
i done a easy@home HCG test with smu and I swear I can see a squinter… my mum turned up just after I done it so couldn’t study it hard.
i know it’s now out of the time frame but I’m convinced I can see it still. I’ve never been able to see anything on them.
AF still hasn’t shown either.
im trying not to think about it too much and ill see what happens with my BBT.
Ovusense still thinks im 9DPO, so could todays drop have been an implantation dip? Only time will tell and ill see what happens with my temp tomorrow.

etaketak1991 · 30/10/2023 15:44

@Ncl31 I would take another test tomorrow with FMU otherwise you'll truly drive yourself mad! They say to stop taking temp when you've got your BFP as it can be so temperamental. Let us know how it goes ❤️

Ncl31 · 30/10/2023 15:45

@etaketak1991 i wish I hadn’t even tested. But being in the house and waiting for deliveries just drive me to it! Haha
I’m going to try again tomorrow with FMU, I’m pretty sure it’s my eyes though.

etaketak1991 · 30/10/2023 15:53

@Ncl31 Yesterday I was off to the toilet on an impulse POAS when I wiped and saw AF had started, so I totally get it 😂 Do you have a pic of your squinter at all? 👀

Ncl31 · 30/10/2023 16:08

@etaketak1991 ive attached the best photo. I can only just see it. It’s clearer not on camera though
