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.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you still, @EK37 - it could go back up.

I had good news this morning - a BFP! Very early days still and as I'm 42 and have had a MMC before I'm feeling nervous, but also excited! 😊

etaketak1991 · 04/11/2023 12:11

@EK37 Aw I'm sorry about your temp drop, it's always so disheartening when that happens. There's still time for it to bump back up 🤞

@cunningplan101 Amazing news! Congratulations 🎉🎉 Fingers crossed for a sticky baby 🤞

SDC2024 · 04/11/2023 12:22

Hi all, looking for some advice.

11DPO spotting twice when wiped. nothing since.

12DPO - tender boobs. lower back pain yesterday and period pain.

13DPO (today) very sore boobs - like bricks on my chest. Slight period pain (nothing unusual) feeling “wet” as though period has come.

Due on Monday.

TTC for 4+ years now.

Often have tender breasts but not this painful, and never spotted before. I thought AF was arriving early.

Picture attached, possible implantation or start of a very slow period ?! any Advice appreciated!

@cunningplan101 ahh amazing - congratulations!!

Trying not to get down about my temp drop, I don’t feel like my period is coming so I’m hoping maybe the lack of symptoms is a good thing - probs clutching at straws 😂

Ncl31 · 04/11/2023 15:20

@EK37 hopefully it’s just a dip and it’ll go back up tomorrow.

@cunningplan101 amazing news! Congratulations, keeping my fingers crossed it’s a sticky little bean for you.

ive been in agony with AF cramps today, just trying to keep busy to distract myself… painting my late grandads side board today.

etaketak1991 · 04/11/2023 15:36

@SDC2024 Sounds promising and could be an implantation bleed for you! 4+ years is a very long time TTC, so all fingers crossed for you 🤞 How long to go before AF's due?

@Ncl31 AF cramps are the worst! Sounds like a good distraction, painting is a good way to help clear your head ☺️

A friend just announced the birth of their DC2 today, their DC1 was born a few days before my DD. I'm extremely fortunate to have DD but now she's started asking for a sibling and it's just killing me a little bit today.

Hotmalibu94 · 04/11/2023 16:47

Congratulations @cunningplan101 , fingers crossed for a healthy pregnancy for you!

@Ncl31 sorry AF showed up 💕 good it was a much shorter cycle!

I'm 7 weeks today, morning sickness kicked in on Wednesday and I've felt nauseous almost all day every day since 🤢 I retch several times a day but not actually been sick yet. Telling myself as much as it feels crappy it's all signs that things are going as they should! 💕
Finally had a call from the midwife today and I have my first appointment on the 14th 😁 can't wait!

ginny93 · 04/11/2023 17:09

Glad they finally got in touch @Hotmalibu94 ! Not long to wait now 😊 rubbish about the morning sickness but like you said it’s kind of a good sign!

Congratulations @cunningplan101 ! 🥳

etaketak1991 · 04/11/2023 17:13

@Hotmalibu94 Ginger biscuits and salt and vinegar crisps helped me way back when ❤️ Hope all goes well at your booking in session! How exciting ☺️

Ncl31 · 04/11/2023 18:31

@Hotmalibu94 ah how exciting for you! Not long to go for your appointment. I hope the morning sickness stays at bay for you rather than get worse. It’s the one thing I dread if I ever conceive, I’m not a good vomitter at all.

yeah AF is here but I’m just relieved it has only been a 52day cycle. Here’s hoping that the start of them becoming more regular.

Hotmalibu94 · 06/11/2023 07:15

@etaketak1991 I've been working my way through ginger nut biscuits 😂 they're miracle workers. Luckily seems to not be getting worse, if anything it's slightly better today and yesterday.

@Ncl31 thanks! Yeah I'm not great at being sick so I will struggle 😂

How's everyone? @CatiaR how's the TWW going?

CatiaR · 06/11/2023 07:21

Hiya! @Hotmalibu94 glad you found something that helps and not feeling worse. You must be excited for your appointment soon 😊

all good here nothing much 11dpo temps still high and had sore boobs all tww so who knows cannot tell. 🤷‍♀️

I’d say my chart is looking the best and stable its been so far but that doesn’t really mean much I don’t think. Anyway AF is due Saturday so only a bit longer to know either way 😊

also @cunningplan101 congrats on your bfp 😊

@CatiaR I don’t want to wish anyone’s time away but I hope this week passes quickly for you so you know either way.
AF seems to be settling this morning…. Just got to wait it out until fertile window… who only knows when it’ll be though!

CatiaR · 06/11/2023 08:29

@Ncl31 I'm sure it will go fast, work has been fairly busy with my counterpart resigning, shortly I will need to do my job and hers until they hire someone to do my job and I go do hers, so some positives there for me with sort of progression and prospects of doing an apprenticeship :)

hopefully your supplements are helping and your cycles start to get shorter

Roseberry22 · 06/11/2023 11:41

Morning ladies I’ve been a bit mia this week as I’ve been away, I’ve also got Covid which has made it impossible to BBT! I’m hoping it clears soon as I’m due to ovulate in a week and I won’t be able to use it to confirm ovulation.

@cunningplan101 congratulations on your BFP!

@CatiaR fingers crossed for you, when are you looking at testing? Your chart is looking good

CatiaR · 06/11/2023 11:56

@Roseberry22 ah sorry you have been poorly, fingers crossed you are able to get BBT stable in time for ovulation!

I will test on saturday (day of AF) if BBT remains high, otherwise I will know that I am out,

OP posts:
etaketak1991 · 06/11/2023 17:40

@Roseberry22 Aw no, that's like me last cycle! I hope you don't feel too bad with it and your temps get back to normal soon.

@CatiaR Sounds good with the progression opportunity! Good luck with the new duties.

I've got EWCM today so fertile week is coming soon 👍 Work is being a real arse at the moment, but I'm stuck as I won't get mat pay if I change jobs and get pregnant within the year. So frustrating.

CatiaR · 06/11/2023 18:19

@etaketak1991 thanks! I still don’t got my updated job description as my manager is off and the other girl doesn’t leave till end of month but I’ll get to train the two new team members which is added value too.

sorry your work is crap! I’m not sure this cycle will be it but now rather than super sore boobs they just feel a little fuller and my nipples are quite sensitive to the touch.

OP posts:
etaketak1991 · 06/11/2023 18:44

@CatiaR Ooh, is that a usual symptom for you? Sounds promising ☺️

CatiaR · 06/11/2023 18:48

@etaketak1991 no but I could be overthinking anyway 🤷‍♀️

just thought my bra felt a bit tighter than usual, visually I just think that without a bra rather than them being a bit more floppy ish they look a bit more full and perky than usual . Nipple sensitivity don’t get so much but again most likely nothing. At the very least my cycle will be shorter and my chart is looking pretty good so I’ll take that for now small wins I guess 😂

OP posts:
CatiaR · 07/11/2023 06:10

Good morning everyone 😊

12 dpo today and temps remain high, still got sore boobs/nipples but not super painful and currently feel like AF like cramps on and off. Got premom telling me to test today but I really want to wait till Saturday 😂 whilst its looking promising it still may come Saturday and I’ll get a bbt drop so I’d rather not get super disappointed.

looking at my previous charts I normally have similar temps to todays but can’t deny this cycles chart is looking a lot more stable than usual. Also first cycle I’ve not gone below coverline at all during tww so far

fingers crossed and some of you other ladies might be getting to fertile week once again 😊

Ncl31 · 07/11/2023 06:46

@CatiaR that does look promising. Fingers crossed for you.
my OvuSense app is telling me that my next fertile window will begin 23rd December. That is going from the length of my last few cycles.
I ovulated 2 weeks prior to my predicted fertile window last time so who knows when it will be this time.
just have to wait and see and get cracking with DTD once AF has gone.

CatiaR · 07/11/2023 06:49

@Ncl31 ah I see, fingers crossed your fertile week comes a bit sooner again and your cycles get shorter. Hopefully the supplements are helping? It was a bit shorter this cycle wasn’t it?

OP posts:
Ncl31 · 07/11/2023 07:06

@CatiaR Yeah I think they are starting to work. Last cycle was only 52 days, sOnce got my fingers crossed that I’ll ovulate before day 21 this cycle

etaketak1991 · 07/11/2023 07:11

@CatiaR Those temps look really consistent! Everything crossed for you 🤞 Hope the next 5 days go quickly!

@Ncl31 Here's hoping your supplements cut your cycle length down a bit this cycle 🤞

2/3 of my apps are predicting the start of fertile week today, hooray! Premom thinks it'll start in a week with a 7 day luteal phase, so not sure what's going on there 😂
