Hey ladies, still flashing smiley today; I ordered some ICs but won’t be here until Friday. Anyway today I’m still slightly spotting reddish/brown and have mild cramps. Wondering if maybe I’m having an onovulatory cycle and tbe follicle turned into a cyst?

 

[josephine3]

Sorry your body is being so confusing @PinkCupcakes x
@NightFlower it's great to see you back on here good luck x

 

[josephine3]

One possible symptom I'm noticing is a headache I've had pretty much since ovulation.. Don't know if it's anything but it's annoying!

 

[PinkCupcakes]

On top of the light spotting and like cramps, now my breast’s are sore and they are usually only sore after I O, so maybe a good sign?

@PinkCupcakes fx honey

 

[NightFlower]

Sorry your body is being so confusing @PinkCupcakes x

@Suggerhoney I am hoping with everything for you to fall this cycle. I know how awful it felt to keep trying month after month with bfn all the time. Took us 24 cycles and here i am 19 weeks today. Thinking of you and really hoping for your rainbow hun xxx

Ah you’re TTC#2! I remember you in the month groups when I was waiting to TTC my first!


12dpo BFN today, AF due tomorrow. My breasts are hurting worse than they ever have while waiting for AF, just brushing up against them hurt.

@PinkCupcakes that all sounds so confusing, I hope you get some answers soon! So frustrating when we don’t know what’s happening inside our own bodies, I’ve been there enough times!

@elmum sorry you’ve not had convincing lines! When will you test again? Hopefully you see a nice, strong line!

@Suggerhoney good luck for tomorrow’s test!

Is there anyone I’ve missed putting on the front page? It’s been a busy few days and I haven’t managed to keep up with all the posts. Just had a quick read through, wishing everyone in the TWW loads of luck!

I’m 4DPO according to FF. My temp today was identical to yesterday! I’m still getting some EWCM and my OPK is still dark. The temps are around where they would be in the TWW though. I’ve had a lot of confusing cycles over the years but this is definitely up there with the most confusing!

I think I’ll wait until Thursday…I have tomorrow to spend with my big kids while they are still on holiday. I know I’ll have low spirits if I test and get a BFN. I’ve looked at a million tests online and have seen them later and much lighter than mine, but I just know my previous experiences and it’s just hard to believe I’m not out already. Breasts are very very painful. So either I’m pregnant or AF is getting close. Ugh

 

[jellybeanxx]

Morning! Can you lovely lot tell me what you think is going on with my chart and this cycle please? I feel so lost with this one and can’t look at it objectively! Thank you!

 

[josephine3]

@jellybeanxx ooh I'm 4dpo today too! Yay we're cycle buddies again! You can put me down for testing on the 12th if you like though I definitely will before lol. I have my first phone appointment with a fertility clinic (just nhs) on that day and I'll be 12dpo. Fxd I'll be cancelling!
Sorry I'm no good at charts. My opk is decidedly negative again now x

 

[Bevziibubble]

@jellybeanxx and @josephine3 good luck!

 

[jellybeanxx]

@josephine3 I’ve added you in, good luck!

@Bevziibubble thanks!

 

[Laurabub84]

@elmum i hope you get a lovely dark positive when you test again. Good luck

@PinkCupcakes i hope it’s not an anovulatory cycle. They are so hard and frustrating to deal with. Hopefully your symptoms indicate ovulation. Fingers crossed for you

@TWO2TANGO i hope af stays away

@jellybeanxx i’m not that great at reading charts unless the temp shift is really obvious. I’ve had many confusing ones too. I see you’ve noted down cd22 for a positive opk. Could it be that day was ovulation and you’re just having a slow rise in the first few days? My chart with my son my first couple of days was slow rising and ff put my crosshairs on 2 days after I’d ovulated. So I thought I was getting positive hpts at 8dpo when I was really 10dpo. Hopefully you get a higher temp tomorrow to make it a little clearer. I hate when our bodies mess with us. It’s bloody cruel. I’m feeling doubtful with mine today now too as my temp dropped. Why does it have to be so confusing? I was gonna say you could put me on the front page to start testing Saturday, if my chart is right then I’d be 9dpo but now I’m doubtful I really have ovulated. Maybe see what tomorrows is like. I hope you get a clearer picture of what’s going on hun.

@Suggerhoney hoping so bad to see some beautiful tests from you today.

@josephine3 and @NightFlower wishing you both all the best for this month. I hope it ends with blazing bfps.

Wishing the same for all us ladies. Let this month be super lucky and full of healthy, sticky beanies.

 

[Laurabub84]

Temp dropped this morning. Not sure a temp of only 36.15 is high enough for the tww so now I’m worried I haven’t actually ovulated and my temps are just playing games with me. I’ll be so upset if I haven’t really ovulated. It’s not even about getting pregnant at this time. I mean obviously I’d be thrilled and so nervous if I did conceive, we weren’t bothering to prevent and wanted to just see what happened, but for now I’ll happily settle to get af so I can start fresh with a new cycle because of how long it took for the bleeding to stop. I retook it again straight after and it was then 36.33. That temp would have had me reassured I definitely had. Now I just don’t know what to think. Will have to wait to see what tomorrows is.

 

[Nima]

@jellybeanxx it's a tough one! I'd say 19th is probably ovulation day. The monitor did catch a peak, so I would rely on that, but it does seem to me like a bit of a shift happened earlier than what ff detects.
What is your feeling?
You are anyway in with a good chance!
Good luck lovely! Hope this is your month.

 

[NDH]

Jellybean sorry I am no help with interpreting charts that aren't straightforward . But good luck.

Laura a dip like that could be implantation ? Hopefully it shoots back tomorrow.

Here's my chart. Today's temp is not accurate cause I was already up when I took it (not for long). I took it before getting up but didn't have my phone for light to read it and check the time so it was after I did that that I saw my thermometer only said "high" and didn't give me an actual temperature reading! So idk just how high it was .... I did have a four year old snuggling me and need to pack away our second blanket for the moment as our outside temperatures aren't cold enough to need it so I was sleeping a bit hot, but no different from the last two mornings. So weird.

 

[Laurabub84]

@NDH you have nice obvious shift with your temps. When if af due? Looking forward to your tests

 

[Laurabub84]

I took 2 cheapies earlier. They still have the faintest of shadows on them so if my temp is still up tomorrow at what would be 7dpo then I’m just gonna test everyday to keep an eye on if they darken or not. I’ll only drive myself crazy not knowing if the shadows are a new pregnancy or still left over hgc. Besides I’ve gone overboard with the amount of tests I have, I may as well start using them

 

[NDH]

@NDH you have nice obvious shift with your temps. When if af due? Looking forward to your tests

AF will be here some time on the 11th if she's coming. I have about a 12 1/2 day LP.

Starting the antihistamine protocol today, and baby aspirin, and probably progesterone cream too. If there's a bean in there I'm doing *everything* I can to make sure it sticks.
