@doggylover that's a beautiful line

@doggylover love the lines xx

Thanks ladies. I’m feeling very nervous. I know that’s normal at this stage, but I feel more nervous than the last two pregnancies. Almost as if I’m expecting it all to go wrong I think when you have more babies, and you know more people who have had babies, you know all the terrible things that can go wrong and it plays on your mind more, if that makes sense?

I ended up going back to sleep for a few hours and I took my temp again just now and it was 37.18? I’m guessing it don’t count though x

I completely get that. I think i will be on the edge until I hold the baby in my arms. A poor friend of mine lost her baby the day after the 20 week scan to confirm the sex. It made me realise that there is always a risk, even if it is rare at that stage. Hope yours is a determined sticky little bean

Good morning ladies. 10DPO and I tested. I think i may have vfl. I can see better it in person. The camera has eaten it. Im not getting excited at all as it could be my eyes playing tricks on me. What do you think?

I think it needs to be a minimum of 4 hours sleep, if that helps? That’s why I don’t temp. I never get that much unbroken sleep!

Oh I’m so sorry for your friend. A friend of mine lost her baby during birth. Just awful things happen. That’s one of the reasons dh was a bit hesitant to try again. He said we’ve been so lucky up to now, do we want to push that luck?
Your chart is looking great, btw!! Lovely dip at 8dpo and a nice rise again!

Oh wow, your poor friend. Pregnancy is so exciting but scary at the same time.

I thought i was out when my temp started dropping. I was looking back at charts from a couple of years ago when I used to temp, and my high temps were around 36.7 - 36.8 so they are pretty high today. The very high temps are shingles and weather related so I'm not counting those.

I've been on edge since day one so I completely understand I've had a scan and seen baby but I'm a nervous wreck I have another scan Monday but I'm still so nervous that something is wrong this is my 7th pregnancy lost 1st at 9 wks, with each one I've been so nervous to the point my last one I had a deal with a scan place to go every month (I get extra scans anyway due to being high risk) xx

While obviously I wish you didn’t feel so nervous, it’s always good to know I’m not the only one. I lost my first as well, at 6 weeks, and with my second pregnancy I was very nervous. I didn’t find out until 8 weeks with my son so I managed to skip it all and honestly, it was the best thing ever.

I had a look and it says 3 hours of sleep x if I’m honest I’m thinking of stopping bbt altogether seems more stress then it’s worth my 5 year old suffers with really bad eczema so often wakes up at night x I’m thinking of getting the extra sensitive ovulation tests for next cycle and testing multiple times a day instead of temping x

 

[Deethehippy]

My OPK isn’t as dark as yesterday’s so I am going with ovulation yesterday at CD16 and calling today 1DPO. Glad to be in the TWW Hoping we did enough.
Worked out that I will be on our little holiday break from 7DPO until 10DPO so won’t be able to do my obsessive testing (I’m not taking HPT’s on holiday). Will just have to test when we get back. Only downside is that if I get a BFN at 10DPO it’s likely to be real. The early BFN’s are better because you can still have some hope but it is what it is. Hopefully being relaxed over implantation time could be a good thing anyway.

I wouldnt temp if you dont sleep well, it will just drive you nuts and add unnecessary stress

I never temped after baby 1 because the kids don’t sleep well. I jus use opk and it works well for me. Definitely try a cycle without temping and see how you get on.

I think being away in the tww is definitely helpful!!

 

[Bre1990]

Well, nothing this morning.
So I will take that as i am still in the running. I definitely feel like she is still coming.
Acne breakout and just feels open down there. My right boob and nipple are still sensitive.

Been under alot of stress this month so havent even thought about ttc until the niggling ovulation pains today, not sure if we will try as things are a bit complicated right now. But I promise I will come back & check in on you all xx

Cd 10. Looks like I’m gonna be an Aug tester after all! Hoping to hold out until the 26th.


I have never in my life ovulated this early! I did google a bunch, and o on cd 11 is ok. I wonder with that temp jump if it's today though. Fx although not feeling it this month.

 

[Suggerhoney]

Hi ladies.
Had a rise today. I think im 2dpo.
No symptoms or anything yet but im not gonna symptom spot this cycle.
All 3 of my chemicals that ive had this year gave me symptoms and then I just ended up with my heart being broken because those pregnancies didn't stick.
So im not gonna take any notice of any symptoms unless I get to 13dpo and i still have them.
This is the longest I've ever had ttc. 6 months trying and nothing but heartache.
I really hope if we have caught this cycle it will stick.
Im so scared of having a 4th loss in a row.
Not sure when to test. AF shud be due around 28th or 29th August and I want to try and hold off as long as I can.
No dought by 6dpo ill be peeing on things tho lol.
As u all know this is our last month trying and if im out again we will be putting TTC on hold for a few months.
Its just so hard seeing so many BFNs and then getting lines that don't progress.

For some reason im already feeling out. I guess I've just gotten so used to the constant disappointment that alot of the hope I had is now gone.

I only have the very smallest little bit of hope left. Praying AF stays away and I get a balzing


Keeping it crossed for you guys to


@Bre1990 im so sorry hon. Its horrible getting faint lines that dont develop and then AF shows. Sending u big hugs.


@LuvallmyH
Yes u can most certainly get pregnant 4 times in a row hon.
If i am pregnant this cycle it will also be my 4th pregnancy in a row. Sending u lots and lots of sticky baby dust

Yes I tested this morning again but as I told my husband when he asked how many I’d done, I have to use them up as this will be our last (all being well). Today’s test is a little darker which is great. I’m only 12dpo today so it’s still ridiculously early to even know!

glad you’re feeling better what a rubbish time for a flare up to happen when you want to be Dtd. Fingers crossed your previous ‘sessions’ will have you covered.

Thats a great line hon.

Thats what im worried about. I've had 6 losses all together and my latest one was at almost 11 weeks after seeing it on a scan with a heartbeat at 6 weeks.
Its so hard all the ttc and the 2ww but I also do not enjoy the first trimester.
I want to be in it so bad right now but i know I'll be worrying untill I get well into 2nd trimester and even then I can't really relax untill I hit 24 weeks.
Thats if I even can keep a pregnancy anymore.
I seem to be able to fall pregnant but they don't stick.
Im sure ure be fine hon but i can understand the worry.

I find BBT can be so stressful to sometimes.
Im on my 7th chart now.

Here is my chart today. I think Ovulation was on CD13 which is so much better than CD8. I really hope that's a good sign and means I've released a really good strong egg.
I really hope this is our month
