And others!

I had lower back pain and a dull ache in my uterus before my positive so fingers crossed it’s everything progressing as it should for you 🤞🏼.

Might sound a bit random but do either of you track your resting heart rate through a smart watch? Mine kept creeping up leading up to my positive too which was one of the main reasons I thought we had been lucky to conceive xx

@Lookingtogrowthefamily ueah, I had the same when I was pregnant last year.
we shall see. Will do a test tomorrow after work and see where I’m at and also see if I come on my period.
my temp on my smart watch is rising but heart rate seems to be around the same at the moment. It did spike quite a bit higher but gone down a bit still higher than usual though x

@SKLM i see a line on tha second picture of first responder test u posted. I’m so delighted for u after such a long up and down cycle, thinking u ovulated earlier then being back to lh peak and 1 dpo, its been a rollercoaster 😅❤️ with a great outcome 🙏🏽
@Bubs94 i completely understand the apprehension esp after ur chemical ❤️ I am keeping everything crossed for u that those lines get darker and it’s a lovely healthy pregnancy ✨

im nearly looking forward to ovulating now this week coming, ye have given me hope 🥰

@SKLM @Bubs94 so happy for you both 🥹 hopefully us next 🤞🏻

are you gonna test again tomorrow? X

@Plumchumm I think I will.

@DmcinT thank you, that means a lot. It was a rubbish cycle! Hopefully this sticks 🙏

@Plumchumm im at work then school run but I have tests coming so will be here for when I get home so will hold in a wee and do one when I get home x

Today's tests.

@SKLM I can definitely see a line!

@SKLM i can see lines too!
im dreading doing a test after work. I’ve just convinced myself that it’ll be negative!

@SKLM omg deff getting darker, u must be buzzin. All that lh testing has paid off 🎉

@Bubs94 crossing everything for you ❤ how are you feeling today? I am feeling pretty groggy.

@DmcinT I am excited but at the same time really worried. My first pregnancy was fine, found out at 11dpo like this one, no bleeding no issues at all on that front. Have it in my head that this won't work out, that I'll miscarry, that I'm too old (39 in two week). I was 37 at term with my son. All the usual worries in my head at the moment x

My test was BFN this morning (10dpo) and due AF today. Just keeping everything crossed. Mega symptom spotting as usual and feel a tiny bit nauseous and don't think I can feel AF cramps but it's probably all in my head and just need to hang on to wait and see. We go on holiday on Wednesday so it'll either be good news or lots of cocktails and wine. If it doesn't work I'll be onto cycle 19 and my age isn't helping (40).

@SKLM I’m so excited for you! You’ve finally got your little lines 😊😊 I understand why you feel worried, I would be too. I think as we get older too, we become more apprehensive about everything. Sorry if I’ve missed it, but when is your af due date?

@PandaLife af is due tomorrow roughly. As my ovulation date was always so all over the place and I only caught it the last cycle and this one, I'm a bit unsure of my luteal phase length. So going on last cycle it is 12 days so period due tomorrow.

knew it was a dud test or just wasn’t meant to stick, either way my temp has dropped massively and the line is SO faint you can barely see it in person. Yay to my body. Ffs! I could cry

@Bubs94 oh my gosh.. i'm so sorry. I'm thinking of you ❤are you going to keep testing for a couple of days? Even with a temp drop you might still be pregnant - has your period arrived yet? Sending you all my well wishes x

@SKLM really? I thought a temp drop meant you’re deffo not pregnant and your period is imminent?
I will keep testing yes, and no period yet. I’m at work with big pants on and a pad just in case! X

@Bubs94 I think it can often mean you are not pregnant but not every time as lots of things affect temperature. I read a couple of articles on bbt monitoring a few days ago. But I know you have been tracking temperature for a while and you know your body, so, not trying to give you false optimism just being hopeful for you xx

@SKLM oh, yeah of course, I get that. Just waiting to see when it comes. I keep needing a wee, and when I wipe checking for it. So frustrating. And also, a period is such a crappy way to remind you that you’re not pregnant. So shit x

@Bubs94 I’m so sorry to hear that. Waiting and the unknown is a horrible place to be in :( was that pregnancy test your first urine of the day? As SK said, the temp dip could be caused by many factors.
I do feel for you being stuck in limbo at the minute. Sending virtual hugs. X

My body is being unusual. I have had a crazy amount of ewcm for the last two days and on and off sharp pains. I thought it was my bladder initially (causing the pain), but I don’t think it is. I know I said I wasn’t going to monitor this month, but I changed my mind. Especially with the ewcm as it’s unusual for me. My LH levels are higher than they would usually be this early on so I’m wondering if I’m going to ovulate early. I’ll keep monitoring.

How are you feeling @SKLM will you be doing a digital? X

@Bubs94 im sorry ur in this waiting game, it’s so frustrating and disheartening seeing the line and then nothing the next day or seeing that dip but as others have said it could just to a fluctuation, important thing is what temp does tomorrow, if it goes back up. I still see a faint line on that test. Sending love and hugs ❤️

@PandaLife what CD are u?
im having weirdly similar, EwCM since yesterday which is unusual for me at CD8 but im kinda in the unknown still with only having stopped breastfeeding a few weeks ago. I ovulated cd 12 last cycle so im thinking that might happen again 🤷🏼‍♀️
I have decided to dtd CD 9, 11 and 13 and poss 15 &leave it at that, im gona try not pee on sticks and not over monitor RHR etc,, but we will see lol
I am craving this break from ttc, this is last month of it for a few months

@DmcinT bless you, thank you. Been very tearful today but came on at work as expected by temp drop and on my app so yeah. Got to move forward, onto cycle 8

@Bubs94 I'm sorry it didn't work out this cycle, I hope you are okay and taking care of yourself this evening❤

Sorry to hear that @Bubs94 look after yourself xx
