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 welcome! I’m cd9 so fairly close to you 😊

I was alongside all these guys last cycle at the start but my cycle was so long I’m now way far bacm 😂 nice to have another person similar timing join

@Ncl31 hope you're having a fab holiday and now enjoying the rides!
Glad to hear the medication seems to be working too

@CatiaR exciting that you're almost back to the fertile week! I think BBT is actually so helpful to pinpoint ovulation, I think next month I'm just going to rely on that if no success this month. And also so helpful in letting you know if you're out or not as well, I knew it was coming last month because of the temp drop too.

@thejollytrolleydolly only takes the one time as you well know! 😁 fingers crossed for you.

@Hollie1802 oh bless you, definitely not out yet! 10dpo is so early. Hopefully you get a line in a few days 🤞 I've had the same issue with lots of plans next year. We are currently looking at a due date of end of may and we have a wedding in July, August and September and a holiday in September... not sure if I'll need to stop trying at some point, particularly as you can't fly after a certain point 🤦‍♀️ but I really didn't expect to be on cycle 4 and still waiting tbh. I thought it would be quick. So going to keep trying but if we get to a September due date I might need to put on hold for a bit I guess.

For now anyway, temp is right back up and we are due AF on Monday. 🤞

@Hotmalibu94 - Fingers are crossed for you!! My temp this morning was down, it's been steadily decreasing over the few days still above the cover line at the moment but I think it'll be under it tomorrow and I'm due AF on Saturday so that would make sense! It's hard isn't it, we absolutely should have started sooner but we just had so much on that it kept getting pushed out and now have left ourselves such a small window!! Just to make things even better, I'm away with my mum this month and looks like my ovulation day will fall the day I get back but we don't arrive home until 11pm the day before 🤦🏻‍♀️ so don't hold much hope for next cycle either!! Then the next is predicted to leave only 12 days between expected due date and the coveted concert 😂 annoyingly this cycle has been super long so has pushed everything back by 2ish weeks!

I'm on CD8 now so ended up in basically the same place as you @CatiaR !

Ooh that chart looks promising @Hotmalibu94 ! Are you going to test Monday if there's no AF or wait a few days after that?

@Hollie1802 I know what you mean about plans - there always seems to be something! But let me know if you need to sell the Taylor Swift tickets, I couldn't get any 😂

Oh @Hollie1802 I hope you're wrong. Hopefully tomorrow doesn't decrease further 🤞 you never know for next month though, last month my ovulation was a day later than predicted so maybe you'll be in luck!

@ginny93 Ahh glad to hear it. Almost into fertile week for you then too? I'm hoping so! I don't feel any different to usual though really so not got my hopes up. I'm going to test on Tuesday if my temp doesn't drop before then I think. As it's expected on Monday, if I've not got a temp drop by Tuesday I think that would be a good sign. And if AF does come then I can drink again so 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 silver linings!

@ginny93 heyyy cd10 today so another companion 😊! Think fertile week will be probably as predicted since I’ve noticed that my pattern seems to be long cycle and then short and so forth. Last month was long with ov on cd24 so predicted ov of cd17 might be right 😂

@Hotmalibu94 temps looking good so fingers crossed.

@Hollie1802 hopefully your temps stay above coverline!

My fertile week starts tomorrow according to my apps 🤞 My cycles are still a bit irregular after having my IUD removed, but I've started getting EWCM on and off which hopefully means I'm on track! Good luck to everyone near the end of their TWW x

Morning all, sadly my temp has dropped just below the cover line, AF is imminent! Hoping it'll start soon and that next months cycle is back to a normal 28 days! It's been 36 this month which is out of the ordinary for me and made for a very long month!!

@etaketak1991 ooh how exciting!

@CatiaR hopefully it is a little earlier for you this month! I ovulated on day 24 of this cycle and it felt like it would never come around!!

@ginny93 Oh there is always something isn't there! It's just annoying that they are two relatively big things that I can't really be properly pregnant for 🤦🏻‍♀️ the Disney trip I could, but at the same time it's my mums big birthday and so I would hate to be not able to get involved properly!!

@etaketak1991 oooh good luck! It's a wild ride 😅 welcome to the club!

@Hollie1802 oh bless you, that's a shame. Onto the next one. My temp has dipped a bit today. If keeps dipping tomorrow I think I'll be out again 🤦‍♀️

@Hotmalibu94 noooo! Fingers crossed it doesn't! It's so frustrating isn't it, it's still mad to me that we don't get pregnant straight away after being told that all our lives 😂

@Hollie1802 I literally just said this to DH 😂 I just assumed it would happen. I guess everyone does though 🤦‍♀️

@Hotmalibu94 It will never not be crazy! I mean I suppose for some it does happen straight away, but all those years being told to be super careful and then when you want it to happen it doesn't 🤦🏻‍♀️

AF has arrived! I'm kinda glad, it's a day earlier than I was due, and with me being away (without my partner) when I'm predicted ovulation next month hopefully this means I might be in with a chance of the date moving slightly in a good way!! I am still not sure how I'm going to take OPKs without my nosy mum finding out 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@Hollie1802 ahhh onto the next cycle! I hope if af does come it'll be a bit late, as my luteal phase could do with getting a bit longer.
Off on a UK break so might not update much here! Will let you know if I get AF/BFP 💕

@Hotmalibu94 Fingers crossed you won't need to worry about it as AF won't come 🤞🏼 aw have the best time!!

@Hollie1802 ah best luck for next month!

@Hotmalibu94 enjoy your break! I’m counting down the time till my holidays although I don’t got much planned. Work has been so busy I am desperate to leave it all behind 😂

TWW seems like its gonna land on my two week holiday so that’s fun lol 😆

@Hollie1802 Sorry to hear AF arrived, hoping next cycle is the lucky one for you 🤞
@CatiaR I would say at least a holiday will take your mind off it, but my last TWW was during summer hols and had way too much time on my hands 🙈

@etaketak1991 that might be the case if I don’t have much planned yet but I’m sure my husband will make us do lots of stuff 😂

Temp drop here today so I think I'm out and with an even shorter luteal phase this month 😭

@CatiaR Are you off somewhere nice? Hope you have a pleasant two weeks!
@Hotmalibu94 Not out until AF shows! Maybe it's a blip 🤞 How long is your luteal phase atm?

@etaketak1991 last month it was 11 days so not tooooooo awful. This month if it starts today 9 days, tomorrow will be 10 days. And I started spotting on day 10 last month 😭

@etaketak1991 we’re just going to take day trips nearby and do some activities and some house dyis 😊 not what we wanted to do as originally we had planned this time off to go to Japan but we had some medical stuff with MIL at beginning of year and ongoing so we decided we couldn’t be that far just in case so not an exciting time off but needed nonetheless.

only had one week off this year so far for our wedding which was spent showing my family around from abroad, so not that relaxing 😂

@CatiaR Sounds like a lovely break! And congratulations on your wedding 🎉 We had to cancel a trip to Japan a few years back too, we were meant to go in April 2020 🫠 We still haven't rearranged it yet. Sorry to hear about your MIL, I hope things stay uneventful for all of you in that regard.

@Hotmalibu94 Gosh yeah, that sounds short! It's so frustrating when you can't control what your body is doing. Is there anything you can take for it?

@etaketak1991 we’re thinking of going next year now. Thankfully we hadn’t booked anything yet and thought it may be best not to as it was too unknown at the time but she’s over the worst part now so hopefully stays uneventful 😊 and thank you it was lovely small wedding and we did avoid the rain just for that hour of the ceremony and that was it! And only July 😂 but that’s the UK for you!

excited to be starting fertile week, hopefully this cycle not ovulating too late, almost missed it last month but I’m much more clued in on what’s happening now
