And now we wait.

[Little Fish]

Not really. Temp drop this morning and slightly crampy. Cp has gpne from low soft and closed to high firm and closed. Cm had dried up.

You're only 8 dpo though. Implantation can happen as late as 12 dpo. Keep that chin up.

Thanks hun

Now I'm sitting here weeping like a baby. Told my dude I think we're out. AF will be on her way soon. I always get weepy when she's due. And the BFNs are BFNs indeed. No hint of a second line or even an evap.

So sorry that you're feeling like this. But remember that pregnancy hormones mirror af hormones.

I'm clinging to that little bit of hope.

Do you ever have a month where you just know you're out, you just feel it in your bones?

 

[28329]

Every month when i ttc my son i thought it was my month. The month i did conceive i thought i was out.

I was like that too with my kids silly isn't it?

I think perhaps I force myself to assume a BFN so when it happens it won't be a shock, if that makes sense.

 

[28329]

Makes perfect sense. When we test and get we put it in the light and hold it at many angles. Then we take a picture and invert the picture. But when it's bfp we second guess it. Funny isn't it?

 

[littlefishygg]

Thanks littlefishy, I do take baby aspirin. I don't have any clotting problems (except low platelets). My specialist said there was no harm taking it now and I would need it as soon as I got pregnant. Do you have Lupus/autoimmune disease too?

I got a text from the fertility clinic. My progesterone level was 66. Anything over 10 confirms ovulation!

Yes I have lupus, my consultant never mentioned the baby aspirin to me, I found out it myself through research so wanted to check whether you had heard about it. I'm glad your specialist is more on the ball than mine is!

Yay for the confirmed ovulation. Good luck with testing!

omg that's TOTALLY me. Especially holding it to the light.

That will be me tomorrow morning lol

Do you use FMU?

 

[28329]

I do. My fmu is pretty concentrated because i don't drink anything after 9pm. I wake to temp at 6 then sleep until 7. So 10 hours of no drink and holding my pee makes it good stuff I'm 8 dpo tomorrow and hope my temp goes back up.

 

[Mearly12]

Hey ladies, I'm 7dpo, and resisting the urge to test, the earliest I have gotten a bfp is 10dpo, which was my last pregnancy, but I didn't test before that which makes me wonder if I could have gotten a positive earlier. I hate waiting to test, but then I hate knowing so early because it's just more time to wait to know if it is viable. uhg lol

 

[28329]

I am also 7 dpo and started testing yesterday

 

[Mearly12]

Haha just tested, obviously negitive no matter how hard I squinted :/

 

[28329]

Lets see some lines soon huh?

Thanks littlefishy, I had read it online too and saw that they were recommending it for healthy women too. But I then got a BFP so went to my GP. He rung my rheumatologist who said better safe and sorry and that aspirin would 'sweep up any left over antibodies'. Unfortunately I miscarried a little while later. But I've decided to just keep taking it while TTC. Did you have Lupus while pregnant with your first? How did that go?


Also, my chart seems to have done a bit of a flatline. Anyone know much about that? My thermometer isn't dying and I take my temps the same time each morning.

 

[28329]

I have cramps. Deep, nasty, evil cramps. I feel like af coming. You know that 'icky' feeling down there? The heavy, dirty, yucky feeling? That's me right now. No spotting or anything indicating af except my low temp. I'm driving myself nuts keep checking for the witch!

 

[Galyna]

can I join you ladies?

I am at 4 dpo by first response, so....

 

[28329]

Welcome galyna. Good luck to you.

I was yes, I was very lucky in that being pregnant caused it to go into remission so was able to come off of all my medication. I was classed as a high risk pregnancy and had extra scans to check for him not growing properly and for early labour but I have a great pregancy and in the end he was born 2 days before his due date a very healthy 7lb 10oz so I was very lucky. Fingers crossed it goes as smoothly this time round

 

[sarah2211]

Thanks littlefishy, I've come off plaquenil just to try and get things back to normal as possible. I'm managing quite well but have prednisone to do short tapers if I need them. When I got prescribed aspirin before my MC, I was given the protocol for ultrasounds too and I think it was every 4 weeks. I'll have to find that piece of paper again. Did they do anything else? Thanks and good luck to you!

I'm sorry 28329, but remember you're not out until AF is here!

 

[28329]

I'm not due for another 9 ish days. I usually have a 16 day lp.
