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.

@etaketak1991 @Hollie1802 @Hotmalibu94 thanks! fingers crossed but keeping expectations low, today the temp has been the highest so far at 36.92! how much higher can it get lol it is on the top end for me so far 😄

my boobs are not that sore compared to ovulation time but hasn't gone back to nothing at all either, only time will tell, only another week to go and hasn't been too bad so far as I got plenty to get on with.

@Hollie1802 @Hotmalibu94 how you ladies getting on with your pregnancies, booking appts around the corner?

@Ncl31 I can definitely see more of a line in that test! Fingers crossed it continues to develop for you 🤞🏼

@CatiaR your charts looking promising! How long is your LP normally?

CD4 for me so another week before OPKs again.

Which test does everyone use? I’ve been using the clear blue digital o es and do get my static smile but I’m wondering whether I should be using some easy at home ones as well to try and really pin point ovulation.

@Roseberry22 about 14 days avg

I use easy@home strips and premom app to scan them with

Ooh @Ncl31 the test and temps look promising! Keeping everything crossed for you ☺️

@CatiaR looking good so far too! I had a massive spike at 7dpo then a big drop at 8dpo before my bfp, but I was abroad in a tent so I’m not convinced how reliable they were!

Thanks everyone, really trying not to get my hopes up just yet.
Will test again tomorrow morning…. Probably this evening too because I can’t resist once I start.

@ginny93 ah I see, temps can be finnicky and affected by a myriad of things so trying to not read much into it, but certainly different than my last cycles where I had drops below coverline at 6dpo so we will see! hoping for those 16 continuous high temps and no AF and see then what the outcome will be :)

how are you doing with your pregnancy so far? can't remember how far along you are or if you've had booking apt yet?

it's really nice to see that most of the ladies here have got their bfps now and quite a few this past month so only a few of us left 😃

Hello! Checking in! Congrats to all who have had their BFP's! @Hotmalibu94 I think you're one of them? 🥳🥳 @Ncl31 I can definitely see something on your test! I'm looking forward to seeing of it develops into more tomorrow (or tonight 😉) @CatiaR im not far behind you at 4dpo. I've managed to calm down a bit and am over the initial desperation to be pregnant that came initially after my miscarriage. I'm feeling much better about it all now. I have a good feeling about this month as I managed to dtd the day before, of and after my ovulation date. Fingers crossed for me and for everyone else in their tww on here ✨

@thejollytrolleydolly hi! Its been a little while glad you’re ok and very close! Only two days ahead at 6dpo. Similar to you but didn’t manage to convince DH to do the day after as well as he was tired but I’d say we covered our bases. Hoping this month could be it but not worrying too much about it. This was a more shorter and normal cycle for me this time around so keeping that positive outlook 😊

fingers crossed for you 🤞 I think its just the two of us left on tww for now 😂

@thejollytrolleydolly indeed I am 🥲 so happy! Glad you're feeling so much better! How was the promotion course? I think you were going to be doing that shortly last we spoke?

@CatiaR good signs! I'm good thanks, I think morning sickness is starting to kick in! Still haven't heard from my midwife to get my appointment date yet, think they're going to call as close to 8 weeks as possible 🙄 but they did send loads of leaflets and an information pack that I need to sit and read through so that'll keep me ticking over for a little while.
The exhaustion is real, just no energy at all. But staying positive that these are all good signs even if I'm already fed up of them 😂 can't wait for having appointments and getting a bump 🥲

@Hotmalibu94 ahah we complain if no symptoms and then if we do have them so eh XD

Hopefully you'll have your appt date soon but it's still very exciting indeed, would love if this was our month but we shall see, at the very least I got a shorter cycle this month and that's a positive in itself so little victories otherwise we go crazy😄

I had a lovely birthday day yesterday and my counterpart in work is leaving in 20 days so unsure what that will mean for me as I don't think they would replace her (she was PT and pretty useless anyway! maybe a salary boost for me to do all the work? who knows?) so that keeps me busy in work so far, one week is gone already pretty much so yeah!

@Hotmalibu94 amazing!! I'm so happy for you! How far along are you now?

@CatiaR I hope this is the month for us too! I'm glad to hear your cycles are regulating at the very least though! 🥳

Yes just did my manager course a couple of weeks ago! It was a fabulous few days relaxing in a hotel and now I'm back being a manager again which I'm loving! I'm feeling much more relaxed this tww although I would like to know by Saturday ideally as I have a boozy hen do to attend but I'll only be 7dpo then so no chance I'll know by then 🙈 going to try and hold off until at least Monday to do a test at 9dpo and hope any drinks I have Saturday won't effect things! X

Hiya everyone just checking in!
Im officially 14 weeks and in my 2nd trimester. Due 1st May 🥳
Ive had my dating scan and booked in for the 20w scan, glucose test, consultant review and 16w midwife appointment. Deffo many more appointments after the 1st trimesters over. I actually feel like times flying now esp with black friday and xmas coming up will deffo be keeping an eye out on baby deals.

Hows everyone doing so far?

@Huriya hiya! 14 weeks already how exciting 🥳 are you feeling better now? You had such a hard time at the start of your pregnancy.

Good to see you back @thejollytrolleydolly ! Glad the manager course went well. When I had my last bfp I actually got it on a clear blue early detection at 6dpo, because I wanted to go to a boozy hen do and be comfortable drinking haha. So maybe worth a test?!

Wow @Huriya can’t believe you’re there already! Hope you got a nice pic from your scan 😊

I actually had an early scan at epu last week because I’d had some pain - all was well and I got to see a heartbeat 🥰 really hoping this one works out. Booking appointment on Friday but I might just take my notes from last time and they can copy it all over 😂

Oh hey @ginny93 ! Oh well I might do a lil test on Friday or Saturday morning and see if anything pops up. I've got a boots early detection one so I might give that a go. Good to hear you've had an early scan, I think I would need one too my anxiety would be through the roof expecting another mmc!

I'm so happy for all of you pregnant ladies! I do keep logging in and keeping up to date with everything even if I'm a silent lurker 😂 xx

@thejollytrolleydolly lovely to hear an update from you! I am also a silent lurker here 😂
Cheering you all on! And soo excited about your BFPs!

Aww @Myna13 how are you doing? Silent lurkers unite 😂 I have to take a step back sometimes or I'm never off Mumsnet! I'm already bad enough watching YouTube videos of pregnancy symptoms 🤣🤣 it's nice to know we're all
Still here silently cheering each other on ❤️❤️

hey ladies!
@thejollytrolleydolly @Myna13 @Huriya
nice to hear from you all.
ive only just got home after a 12 hours shift, absolutely exhausted.
ive decided im not testing tonight and will leave it until tomorrow. With the hope ill see some sort of progression….

hoepfully my temp will give more of an indicator too, I’m hoping it’ll head back up again 🤞🏻

DH is back tomorrow so I’m hoping I can confidently say yes 🙌🏻

@CatiaR haha I know! Terrible isn't it 🤦‍♀️ hoping they call soon for the appointment so I can start counting down 😁
hopefully your cycles are regulating well now at least! All positive things 🎉

@thejollytrolleydolly thank you! I'm 6+4 today and all going ok so far 😁 glad to hear the course went well and you're enjoying managering again 😁 hope you get good news this month!

@Huriya ahhh amazing, time is flying! Can't believe you're 14 weeks already! So glad you've been doing better 😍

@ginny93 glad your scan went well 😍 must have been lovely to see little bean! How many weeks are you now?

@Myna13 hope you're doing well! Long time no see 😁

@Ncl31 good luck for tomorrow's test! I have my fingers crossed for some progression for you!

BFN this morning and my temp has stayed down too so I’m guessing I’m out. AF is due this weekend going off my adjusted ovulation date from my high temps

@Ncl31 ah sorry to hear, hopefully AF shows up when expected so you can start again.

7dpo today and same just slightly sore boobs and remaining high temps so far, a bit of a more stable chart than I’ve had the last two cycles that I’ve done bbt so far anyway.

@CatiaR ah thank you. I hasn’t allowed myself to think it was positive yesterday, I just didn’t believe it.

hopefully AF will be on time like you say. Then I’ll be hoping for a more normal cycle next time. I’ve been taking supplements for 2 months now so hopefully they’re in my system and starting to work.
I think until I have a more normal cycle I don’t really stand any chance of conceiving.

Half way through your TWW…. I hope it’s a lucky one. Are you going to wait to test until temp has dropped? Or are late?
I know I followed your lead with that last cycle and it seemed to work for me. This cycle I think my app got confused with when I actually ovulated so I had already waited 2 weeks to go back to 9dpo so I caved haha

@Ncl31 yeah I know it was confusing your app did that!

I will wait until the day AF is meant to arrive, if bbt doesn’t drop on 11/11 is when its due then I’ll test. It is hard to wait but the disappointment is hard 😞 I think I can keep a more chilled mentality throughout tww and low expectations so makes it more bearable. I’ve realised it can be a long run so can’t get too worked up about it. Its still disappointing when AF shows but not so bad and also while chemicals can still happen after I think I’d rather not know if I had one by any chance by testing early. Lot of ladies here had early bfps but in my personal life most ppl didn’t have their bfps until AF was due or way after.

Sorry to hear that @Ncl31 but good news that your cycles are getting better!

@CatiaR I think I prefer that mentality too - I’ve been lucky the two times I’ve had to test early (because of upcoming boozy events) I’ve got a bfp, but I think I’d hate seeing a bfn and then having to wait days for the next cycle to start.

@Hotmalibu94 currently 7+3 based on my dates (and the dr’s best measurement from the scan), but 8 exactly by NHS dates so I guess that’s why my appointment feels a bit early. Hopefully if the scan is also 12 weeks by their dates they’ll be able to see what they need to as I think I’ll be closer to 11 weeks.

@CatiaR yeah I totally agree with you on that one. Fingers crossed for you - I hope it’s your month. Please do keep us informed.

@ginny93 yeah, hopefully if af arrives this weekend then my cycle will have only been 57 days opposed to 75-100 which they have been so that’s a bonus. How exciting for you, I bet you can’t wait for your scan.
