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.

I have one week left to go now and the wait is killing me! Today and yesterday I have had a stomach ache, not so much nausea but the king of stomach ache you get when you are feeling a bit hungry if that makes any sense!! Has anyone had this at all? I am deffo symptom spotting and it is doing my head in I am annoying myself and my boyfriend 😂

Ncl31 · 01/12/2023 21:29

How is everyone getting on?
Im sorry since I’ve been poorly I’ve completely lost track of where everyone is within their cycles and if anyone else got their BFPs.

ive had a fair bit of EWCM this evening, hoping that means I’m about to OV… we’ve DTD the last 2 days which would hopefully be perfect timing.

@Ncl31 hiya, hope you’re feeling better now.

fingers crossed you’re ovulating soon!

5dpo here and not much going on

@CatiaR I’m feeling much better than I was thank you. Just been pretty exhausted all week. Work has been horrendously busy too which hasn’t helped.
ah I’ve got my fingers crossed for you. It would be so magical to get some BFPs right before Christmas.

thejollytrolleydolly · 02/12/2023 23:40

Hey @Ncl31 oof sorry you've been poorly and I hope you're feeling better! Nothing worse than TTC when you're feeling rough! 7dpo here with a lack of pre menstrual symptoms and an unusually high amount of creamy cm. Normally I'm dry as a bone by now so hoping it's a good sign! 🤞🏽 xx

@thejollytrolleydolly one day behind as I’m 7dpo today, cm is same as usual for this time however no symptoms at all. At the very least I normally get sore boobs but nothing at all.

probably not gonna be this month but who knows, waiting is the game of TTC 😂

thejollytrolleydolly · 03/12/2023 08:02

@CatiaR I always think no symptoms are a good sign! The months where I have had 1001 symptoms I've always had af. The last time I was pregnant I just knew because I didn't have any symptoms at all! Fingers crossed for you! X

That’s true, I have nothing to compare it to as it would be my first but I’ve heard all sorts since everyone is so different. Patience is a virtue and I have to get some more 😂 but almost 6 months into trying I’ve started to resign a little bit.

certainly had not much time to think about it this week where my pup is recovering from spay and she’s a demon when not physically exercised lol

@CatiaR who knew is was meant to be so scientific 🫣 so for me the day seemed to be peak day opposed to ovulation day. But haven't been able to ddt on peak day since ttc this time

I found the first time ttc stressful as it was all unknown. However both conceived over the Christmas period - a lot of people I know conceived over Christmas period . Fingers crossed for you.

Ncl31 · 03/12/2023 12:03

@CatiaR fingers crossed no symptoms is a good thing for you.
I’ve had EWCM for the last 3 days - this morning it was an abundance. So much that even DH commented.
no shift in BBT as yet, so going to closely watch over the next few days. Praying it is ovulation as it is day 31 and that’s roughly where I was last month so it would show some sort of regulation in my cycle.

EK37 · 03/12/2023 14:15

Hi all, hope you are all well! I am around 10dpo now, due on around Thursday. Did a test this morning but was negative as I explained expected however I didn’t use my first wee of the day and I had had a cup of tea prior to testing so I don’t really know why I did it 😂 I hate this wait!!!

Ncl31 · 04/12/2023 06:12

@EK37 ah I do that to myself all of the time.
Are you planning on waiting to test or are you testing today?
I’ve had an increase in temp this morning, not massive but definitely an increase - hopefully that means ov happened over the weekend. It takes my sensor and app a few days to confirm as it looks for at least 3 sustained increased temps. So at just I’ll not hopefully by Wednesday and should hopefully be 3DPO by then.
If it’s right, I’ll be due AF on DH birthday and a week before Christmas

thejollytrolleydolly · 04/12/2023 07:01

Morning! So I'm looking at my chart and my temp has started to fall at 7/8dpo... is it normal for it to start falling this early before af or is it likely it might go back up again?

EK37 · 04/12/2023 07:31

@Ncl31 i think I am going to wait until my period is late so I know it is accurate, I only have one more test so going to save it! I had this weird thick gummy CM this morning when I stood up (TMI sorry!) not sure what this means! And even though the plan was to not take my temp this cycle I have been 🤦🏼‍♀️ but it’s dropped a bit today so god knows what going on 🤷🏼‍♀️ fingers crossed this is a sign you have ovulated!!! 🤞🤞

EK37 · 04/12/2023 07:35

@thejollytrolleydolly sometimes they do fluctuate but as long as it stays above cover line should be fine. 🤞 it goes back up tomorrow!

thejollytrolleydolly · 04/12/2023 08:37

@EK37 thank you! I woke up and was like nooooo!! 😂 I retook my temp twice and it was the same both times lol! At least if it free falls from 8dpo every time I will be out out of my misery early on! Xx

etaketak1991 · 04/12/2023 19:59

@thejollytrolleydolly Still looks fine to me ☺️ You might want to invest in an ovulation thermometer, the extra decimal point makes a lot of difference! Fingers crossed for you and everyone else nearing the end of the TWW🤞

thejollytrolleydolly · 04/12/2023 20:07

@etaketak1991 I was thinking of getting one as I'm fully in the swing of temping now after a couple of failed attempts! I'm hoping to see a rise tomorrow as I'm not feeling any of my normal pre menstrual symptoms. Apart from being exhausted I've not had any cramps or backache and only a tiny bit of boob pain. That's normally a good sign for me but I don't want to get my hopes up!

Thank you and I'm hoping this is a lucky month for everyone ❤️

Myna13 · 04/12/2023 20:12

Hello lovelies!
I've been intermittently catching up on your progress & cycles and it's so nice to have company.
Sorry I haven't been as active as before. I've been struggling with work getting busier, the days getting shorter and I've had a strange couple of cycles myself. So lots of not so ideal things going on.
Hoping to ovulate tomorrow so going to dtd tonight and the next couple of days and enter the dreaded tww that will end just before Christmas and my birthday (20/12). Really hoping for a lucky birthday & Christmas present.

pinkpetunias · 04/12/2023 20:22

Hi all, sorry if this isn’t the right thread to comment on but hoping someone here might know the answer. Does anyone have any idea when to start tracking BBTing following mirena coil removal? I’ve not had periods with the coil in. Do I just start tracking and wait to see how it goes, or do I need to wait for my periods to come back?

Ncl31 · 04/12/2023 21:01

@pinkpetunias welcome.
This might not be the right answer, but when I decided to start temping I just cracked on straight away. Turns out I caught ovulation that cycle anyway.
taking a temp will not do any harm I guess.

Myna13 · 04/12/2023 21:18

@pinkpetunias from my understanding of BBT, the more data the better. The more data your app has, the better it will be in giving you predictions. So even if it takes some time for your cycles to regulate, the sooner you start tracking the better. It will also give you your baseline once you've tracked for a while and that's always useful to have.

pinkpetunias · 04/12/2023 22:24

@Ncl31 @Myna13 thank you both, that’s what I was leaning towards. Coil is coming out on Friday so will be ordering a thermometer and some ovulation tests. Will hopefully be joining the thread soon :)

thejollytrolleydolly · 05/12/2023 07:28

Morning all! So my temp has been on a slow decline since 7dpo and I'm now 9dpo. My lp is normally pretty much exactly 14 days so way too early for af. The internet suggests implantation dip but don't want to get my hopes up! Has anyone else experienced the same? Pic attached x

EK37 · 05/12/2023 08:13

@thejollytrolleydolly hey - I am not 100% sure tbh, I thought the implantation dip was just one single day but I might be wrong! I do try to take BBT with a pinch of salt as I have seen online peoples whose charts have been completely out of whack from the ‘norm’ and gone onto get pregnant! Yesterday my temp went down to 36.66 and I had such bad period pains in the morning I could have sworn I would of come on yesterday and today it’s gone back up to 36.71 so our bodies do crazy things! I really do think it’s a case of waiting until period is late unfortunately 😭
