So sorry to hear this 😔 Sending you lots of hugs ❤️

Hi, I am meant to be 5dpo today which was confirmed by a positive opk and then a BBT increase. I have however done a random opk last night and then this morning and although they are not positive the line is quite dark for 5dpo?? Does anyone know what this means? I am so confused

etaketak1991 · 29/12/2023 11:58

@EK37 Is the line getting darker again, or is it still fading from the positive OPK?

EK37 · 29/12/2023 12:02

@etaketak1991 tbh I have no idea because I stopped testing for ovulation once I got my static smiley and the temp rise so I don’t know what it was doing inbetween 🤦🏼‍♀️

etaketak1991 · 29/12/2023 12:06

@EK37 Hmm I'd guess maybe you had a high peak and your LH was just taking longer to come down? If you've had a BBT increase and a static smiley, then I'd say that's your correct ovulation date ☺️ It's too early for the test to be picking up any HCG I'm afraid!

EK37 · 29/12/2023 12:20

@etaketak1991 i hope so! I don’t want to be ovulating again because I’m nearly halfway through the TWW 😂

Ncl31 · 30/12/2023 09:19

@EK37 I often have a very slow decrease in LH so if you’re anything like me then it’ll be left over from your peak. Got my fingers crossed for you.

EK37 · 30/12/2023 11:25

@Ncl31 thank you. How are you doing lovely?

EK37 · 30/12/2023 11:28

My BBT chart is very odd this month. I usually have quite a significant increase in temps but this month although it has increased it’s not as much as usual. I don’t know if it’s the Christmas period I have been sleeping in a lot longer that could cause it? I have attached this months and last months

@EK37 today has been difficult physically. I think I could be over the worst now though, I passed something significant earlier on, it wasn’t pleasant but I feel as though it could be most of it now.

This Month when I got my BFP I didn’t have a significant rise like I usually do. Fingers crossed it’s something positive for you.

the hospital said DH and I need to discuss wether we want to try again straight away or leave it. I think we’re just going to crack on, I can’t bare to have months that I haven’t tried.

EK37 · 31/12/2023 09:50

@Ncl31 oh bless you I am so sorry! Yes do what is right for both of you there’s no right or wrong way to go about it, be kind to yourself ❤️

BBT has jumped up massively to 36.75 today. Been a weird month!!

etaketak1991 · 01/01/2024 16:42

Crossing my fingers for you @Ncl31 for next time. I hope you're recovering ok ❤️

Happy new year everyone 🥂 Wishing everyone a peaceful and happy 2024. How are we all doing?

Hotmalibu94 · 01/01/2024 17:04

Happy new year all 💕
We are good here thanks @etaketak1991! Have told all our family and friends now, which was wonderful. Looking forward to our next appointments this month! How are you?

CatiaR · 01/01/2024 18:46

Happy new year!

ah @Hotmalibu94 so nice that everyone knows now, 2nd trimester now isn’t it? 😊

I’m excited to have my booking appointment on Friday at 8 weeks ! I’ve been having a bit of nausea for the last week and half tho so not fun although can’t complain too much it’s just slightly but kinda always there for the most part but still rather not throw up! Been off my fizzy drinks completely which I guess makes it healthier so eh 😂

@etaketak1991 how are you? Your appointment is soon as well no?

@Ncl31 sending you love and hugs and best of luck for when you try again!

Hotmalibu94 · 01/01/2024 19:01

@CatiaR yeah we are into the 2nd trimester now, 16 weeks tomorrow 🥰 found out today my friend is 5 weeks behind us so I'm really happy to have a friend in the same boat!

Ahhh enjoy your appointment! Do you know when your scan will be yet?

@Ncl31 oh bless you, I think I'd be the same as you, wanting to keep going. What's your DH's thoughts? I hope you've been holding up ok my love x

EK37 · 01/01/2024 19:14

Happy new year everyone! Here’s to successful pregnancy’s and TTC journeys for 2024 for us all🤞

@CatiaR glad you are not feeling too awful lovely 😊

Only a few more days left now until we find out if we have been successful this month. Had a weird BBT chart this time round, it was really low and then shot up and has stayed up. I have heard this could be called a triphasic bbt graph but I am unsure and don’t want to get my hopes up!!

CatiaR · 01/01/2024 19:29

@Hotmalibu94 oh that’s very exciting to have your friend along! 16 weeks! Time flies

I don’t know when my scan will be yet I guess I’ll ask at the booking appointment as I want to book a flight after we do that to visit my family in Portugal and tell them in person 😊 DH needs to stay with the pup so I figured the fairest way would be me telling my parents in person and him telling his around the same time. Hopefully not making anyone feel left out!

@EK37 fingers crossed for you! My chart was a bit all over the place when we conceived so hard to tell!

etaketak1991 · 01/01/2024 20:29

@Hotmalibu94 Aw not long to go to the 20 week scan then! Exciting times ☺️

@CatiaR That sounds like a good idea! What a lovely trip that'll be.

@EK37 Looking good!! 🤞

I'm doing okay, thanks! My nausea lifted on Christmas day so I was actually able to eat food... I've been making up for it since 😂 My booking appointment is on Thursday (a little late at 9+4!) so hopefully will find out when my 12 week scan is then. We went for a private scan a few days ago and got to see the little bean measuring a few days ahead of where LMP puts me and with a heartbeat, which was lovely 🥰
