@KittyFantastica congratulations on those BFPs, I hope all is going well and wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy! Xx

Racket81 · 12/02/2024 06:27

Congrats on bfps ladies such lovely news. Nothing to report here still on tww about 5dpo I think without looking on my app.

KittyFantastica · 12/02/2024 09:47

Thank you ladies ❤️ I tested again this morning and I don't think there's been any progression. I know the hormones take 48 hours to improve, but I've seen so many progression pictures where there's a notable difference. I'm 13DPO now, AF is due tomorrow, and I think they should be darker by now.

My last pregnancy, I tested positive 9DPO and lost it at 5 weeks, so even going beyond tomorrow when AF is due is no real comfort. I had symptoms last time as well and this time nothing at all still. I'm driving myself mad with desperation.

I did a digital yesterday and it was negative, I can't bring myself to do another one. None of the other tests I have (just some boots cheapies) are sensitive ones. I did one, but it had the faintest squinter I've ever seen and I'd have thrown it away without knowing if I hadn't had other positives. I haven't told hubs yet as I planned to last night, but his mum ended up coming over and she stayed quite late. He's out tonight and has a work event tomorrow, so don't want to put it in his head until after those. I do wish I'd told him when I first got the positive. Lesson learned if there has to be a next time!

Attached a picture. Bottom photo is yesterday, top photo is today. They're just so faint 😢.

Hi can I jump in. Been trying for four years. I’m 1dpo today and struggling to find active threads

Barney2009 · 12/02/2024 10:43

@4LeafCloverBaby what do you make of my chart now? Not sure why my temps are so up and down 🙈

4LeafCloverBaby · 12/02/2024 11:09

@Barney2009 well they above the line which is good 👍🏼 There are a lot of variables that can affect your bbt…you must take at the same time every day, as soon as you open your eyes before you sit up, if you’ve slept with your mouth open or had disturbed sleep or alcohol & not well they can all affect you bbt too. Any of those apply?

Hey! Sorry I've been MIA - been moving house. But we're in now and been tracking Ovulation successfully, should be today, so DTD last night and going to tonight and tomorrow too. Really aware that my husband will be away again after this week, so really really hoping it happens this time xx

@KittyFantastica Oh wow - this is really exciting!! Everything crossed for you.

@Nbaby Looks positive to me!

@4LeafCloverBaby Oh huge congrats on the heartbeat!! <3

@Cazzy87 I'm still here too!! x

@Panda101x Welcome! Jump on in, there's always chatting in here x

4LeafCloverBaby · 12/02/2024 11:14

@Panda101x welcome 🤗 this is a lovely bunch of ladies so hopefully you’ll get the support you need here.

@Lowrilawson @Cazzy87 how you getting on? @Lowrilawson how is your friend?

@KittyFantastica oh I’m sorry hunny. That does look extremely faint for being due on tomorrow. I honestly feel like if you can then don’t test until a missed period as you wouldn’t have known about this & it’s less heart ache. I know it’s a lot easier said than done though. I’m hoping I’m wrong & wishing you all the luck x

@4LeafCloverBaby heya, I'm getting some cramps but my boobs still hurt a lot! Waited in A&E for 9 hours pretty much to be told she has an infection but they don't know where and given antibiotics and sent home xx

4LeafCloverBaby · 12/02/2024 11:24

@Lowrilawson 9 hours!! Oh my. Well hopefully they start kicking in soon for her.

Ahh sorry @CharliP33 didn't mean to forget you!

Get Better soon! <3

Lowrilawson · 12/02/2024 12:03

@Cazzy87 miss girl! If your temp is that high you need to be going to the hospital or at least the doctors! x

4LeafCloverBaby · 12/02/2024 12:12

@Cazzy87 you poor thing. Keep hydrated & try to just sleep as much as you can x

So I’ve been tracking ovulation this cycle and just wanted to pop the info in here for your opinions! Here’s my easy@home OPK chart - CD 11&12 were low too, I was just moving house so didn’t photograph them.

so the E@H clear peak is CD14, but I’ve been doing CB digital alongside and I had flashing smileys for CD12,13&14 and today I’ve got a static smiley. So ovulation tomorrow according to CB but today/yesterday according to the E@H or am I reading wrong?

4LeafCloverBaby · 12/02/2024 12:23

@CharliP33 I would say they are both correct, you will ovulate 12-36 hours after your LH peaks 😊

Great! All good - DTD every night from last night for 4 nights, just to be safe! Thanks xx

@CharliP33 nice👍🏼 try to get some morning ones in there if you can

Barney2009 · 12/02/2024 16:44

@4LeafCloverBaby not really but I have woken up to a tooth infection so it’s quite possible that’s playing havoc with my temps!

4LeafCloverBaby · 12/02/2024 16:50

@Barney2009 yeah that definitely could be. Urgh tooth problems are the worst!! I hope you manage to get some antibiotics quickly 🤞🏼 x

Is anyone able to shed some understanding I thought temperature should increase. But it’s dropping only my a few not a whole degree

Anyone TTC Dec 2023…continued
4LeafCloverBaby · 13/02/2024 08:44

@Panda101x yes it should increase, it may have been that you peaked & didn’t quite ovulate. Sometimes we have multiple lh surges. Keep tracking bbt & opk & see what happens over the next couple of days

Ok , I get immense ovulation pains and all the signs so would assume I did

babycandy · 13/02/2024 11:11

Oh man! I just did a very early digital and it’s not pregnant. I was so sure it was going to say pregnant.

I know it sounds utterly ridiculous but I wanted to give it to my partner on Valentine’s Day.

im hoping it’s just too early because im a 21 day cycle and af isn’t due until the weekend x

ps delighted for all of you with bfps x
