January Snowdrops +*+* Testing Thread *+*+ Ring in the New Year with BFPs!

[HalfricanMa]

@HalfricanMa I found the daytime feeds easier to drop, but my lil boy still had a wake up and a bedtime feed at 3! I think I enjoyed the snuggles just as much as he did and at that age I could explain to him that it was time and I made them shorter so he just had 'a little bit' until finally stopping. He actually never had a bottle at all went straight from boob to cup lol. But the daytime ones he didn't notice as was busy playing etc.
@littlewitch sorry for the sucky af. I might think about the app too is it free? I find it hard to tell which one is peak too x

Thanks! I enjoy the snuggles too, especially morning. He has a boot-up period and its sweet to just slowly get out of bed. He hasnt had a bottle either. Just boob, cup, & water bottle! I cant remember if you mentioned but did you conceive while still breastfeeding? I cant tell how frequent women just have to wean completely. I guess soon i’ll figure out if it’s necessary to wean.

@littlewitch it gives you a timing calculator asqell so when you log in that you've dtd it give you that percentage if it was good timing or not, if I'm honest that bit was wrong for me for our timing it said we had a 45% (I no still highish) but foe the opk side of things it's really good for putting them on as qe could judge when to actually dtd as that gives you a ratio of when it will be peak xx

So I have a serious craving for Burger King French fries right now. With an unhealthy amount of salt... haha.

Also, been pretty crampy all afternoon/evening. I really hope this isn't just pms!

@HalfricanMa no I wasn't trying at the time x
@Pink.Rose good luck for testing x

CD 2 over here. Heavy AF with clots. Not fun.

Do any of you have experience with using the PreMom app with Easy@Home Ovulation tests? I have just been using the Easy@Home LH tests by eye/manually over the last 10 cycles. I don't know if maybe letting the application judge the test line may yield better timing?
Thoughts?

sorry af is being hard on you. Hope it lets up quickly. I’ve only used Premom to log opks and got on well with it. I’m actually logging my bbt too this cycle which I’ve not done before as I usually just stick to ff for that. I love to be able to compare all opks and see how they’ve gotten darker, reached peak and come back down again.

Also, been pretty crampy all afternoon/evening. I really hope this isn't just pms!

hope your symptoms mean a bfp is coming. Good luck.

sorry if I’ve missed anyone. I have been reading but af’s had me feeling rubbish the last couple of days so just been feeling meh!! My friend had her beautiful baby boy yesterday and my heart just aches. I’d have been 20 weeks tomorrow and half way to meeting baby. My charts already worrying me that I’m going to have a wonky anovulatory cycle because my temps still haven’t dropped to pre ovulation and this has never happened before. The longest it’s taken to drop in the past is cd2. I’m now cd5, af is down to a very light flow so should be done by tomorrow, which is a relief as they said the first after a miscarriage could be longer than normal. But looking at how high my temperatures still are is making me nervous. To be 36.71c at cd5 is really high for me. I’ve got a chesty cough but no temperature and don’t feel poorly with it so I don’t get why it’s still up so much. Has anyone else had experience with this and still had a normal cycle? I’ve taken af off the chart to show what I mean. The black line is cd1. I’m just really confused by this. Never had a cycle start like this

8 dpo today, cramps are still here.. I did test with a FRER just a bit ago, but it was stark white. Not even an indent line! Trying not to feel discouraged as I know 8 dpo is still rather early. I will be bringing a test or 2 with me on our trip and will likely test again Saturday and/or Sunday.

@Laurabub84
I’m December I had a stomach bug and that was on cd2 and my temp was up high.
It did come back down again and I ovulated on cd18.
Fx this is a normal cycle for you with a good ovulation.

@littlewitch
Sorry AF is being so brutal. Hugs.

@Pink.Rose
Sorry about the BFN, but like you said 8dpo is still very early. Fx for that BFP in the next few days. Symptoms are sounding very promising.


Cd13 over here and 5th day of flashing smiley. Feeling disheartened as thought I would of had peak by now.
Fememter is very faint and no where near being positive. No ewcm today. A bit of watery earlier but now feeling dry.
Hope I ovulate this cycle. Ever since I didn’t ovulate that one cycle, I always worry it’s going to happen again.

I did up the maca to 1000mg at the start of this cycle so maybe it’s that. I was only taking 500mg b4.

I just don’t get it. I used to always ovulate on cd13. Unless I’m unwell then it can be later.

but cd13 now and still no peak.

Anxiously awaiting your weekend tests! Fx!

7dpo for me. Im hopeful for this cycle but realistically I’m thinking it wont be bfp for me. DH got into town 11pm night before O, so we bd that night and the afternoon of O day. But thats according to temps. My peak was the day before he got back. Idk.

Sounds like great timing love. When we fell with my son we did it on ovulation day and then the day after. We also did it cd8 and i ovulated on cd10 with him.

fx so much love.

Beautiful lines nightflower . Have been watching your test progress in your journal and I'm really thinking your early lines just have been hcg-h prior to implantation, and now you're getting proper lines

Have you heard of the antihistamine protocol?

The OTC version is 10mg Claritin (loratidine) in the AM, 10mg Pepcid (famotidine) in the afternoon and 25-50mg of Benadryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) at night. It's a kitchen sink/hail Mary protocol for women who have had recurrent losses - especially chemicals. Of you haven't heard of it it might be something you want to try.
