MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[Hopeful2014]

@Ruskiegirl I'm glad it's not too rough this month. It's always the worst when it's painful as well as annoying.

@lesh07 It could be blood from ovulation. A lot of women have some spots during ovulation time. It usually subsides and isn't a lot. I've noticed tiny strings of it in my cm before, but I don't have it every time. Has it continued or any other pains?

@ProfWife That sounds like my Saturday night! I hope you find some time to rest today. Your lp temps look much higher this month. That with the ferning could be good signs! Fingers crossed!

 

[lesh07]

Hi hopefull. Just cramping along the womb area and some backache. The blood is still sightly in the cm but not as much. x

 

[ProfWife]

@Hopeful - I love how optimistic you are...I'm not so much at this point. I'm weirdly okay though. Means it's less likely I'll be 6-8 weeks during band camp this year...may have a chance to have a vacation baby...would be able to keep our family visit for Christmas/New Years without fear of early labor...

 

[littlesteph]

@Hopeful2014 I have a Boots own brand that I plan on using tomorrow. I am starting to think I am out though as have been getting cramps, and have had a slight drop in my temp again this morning, I have also had a increase in cm, don't think I usually get that, but I did another test this morning and I've been getting the same result, faint positive with in the time limit but not getting darker, I think its just a bad batch

Lesh, I agree that it could be ovulation spotting. I thought I had it one month (my only mid-cycle spotting since going off BC), but then ovulated days later... So weird. Anyway, even if dtd wasn't rough, I have had random bleeding from that too, which is nothing to worry about. That is what caused the only spot of blood I've had this pregnancy, and we were being VERY gentle. Just random... I wouldn't worry much. As long as your temp didn't plummet or something weird.

@Hopeful2014: temp down to follicular phase range... but it was an hour and a half later than normal and I didn't go to sleep until almost 2 am, so jury is still out. Some of my friends on my journal are voting for the exercise. I'm hoping they are right and that my body now has an internal fat burning furnace! Only down 5-6 lbs from where I started, but I'll take any loss at this point (recovering from hypothyroidism, making weight move = hard)

@ProfWife, ClandestineTX - That's what he's been like and it's incredibly cute, but I hate to disappoint him. We started TTC expecting that it might take a while to get a sticky BFP with my autoimmune disease. Even when we are eventually lucky enough to get a positive HPT we can't really be confident about it until second trimester, then it will be a high risk pregnancy all the way to the end. He knows the situation, but I guess he's just much better at being optimistic than I am.

12 DPO and my BBT isn't getting any lower, still "possibly triphasic."

 

[littlesteph]

So I thought i'd post some photos from 9dpo and today 11dpo to see if you ladies can see anything or see a difference.

i'm not seeing a difference, the lines are coming up in the time limit, I am thinking they are mean evaps as I have had 2 days of temp drops and I have been getting AF type cramps, I am feeling a pinching feel right now and sorry tmi increase in cm. i'm really confused and have no idea what is going on.

the one with only one test in is from 9dpo, the one with 2 in are from today, the one with no blue bit on it is from this morning and the one with blue is from this afternoon

 

[Tangerine]

littlesteph, I think your tests from today are actually a bit darker, still very light, but I think it would be unusual to have so many evaps and they look like BFP to me... At 11 DPO I think even a very faint line is a great sign, it's not unusual to have cramping early on and your chart is still well above the cover line. I would definitely try with a different brand, maybe try to hold off until tomorrow or the next day if you can wait that long. I know it must be very nerve-racking waiting for a clear result but it seems like POAS is causing you more stress right now, just my 2 cents. Good luck xx

 

[ClandestineTX]

@Tangerine, FX your "triphasic" chart is the start of a BFP!

@littlesteph, I can sort of see something on the one on the right, FX for you, too!

thank you
I think you are right testing so much is driving me up the wall
I think I will hold off testing tomorrow and will use my boots own brand on Thursday, its going to be hard to hold off but needs to be done.
I thought because my temp has gone down todays in row my chances are pretty much slim xx

 

[MamaPeaches]

Hopeful will you please put me down for testing July 10th. Thank you!

[Mummy to HP]

Hi Ladies, been away for a bit and not been online forages so just checking in, lovely to see the thread is still going strong and more BFPs!!

 

[pennymarie]

Yup. Temperature dropped further to 96.9 F. So that means today or tomorrow. Plus when checked CP there is some blood. This cycle has been disappointing because I never knew when I ovulated so there was barely any bding. Just so sick of the heartbreak

 

[Lazydaisys]

Hi ladies could do with some advice....I am on cd 15 and am just ovulating today (which is late for me as the past 2 months it's been cd 10) we dtd on cd 9, cd 11 and last night on cd 14. Well when i wiped this morning and noticed my usual ovulating symptoms - a very clear, stretchy cm i also noticed slithers of blood in it and i am a bit crampy this morning.

A little worried so any advice would be good. xxx

I had this last month at ovulation - the same just a very small amount of red slithers. I didn't know what it was, I hoped it was implantation but it was way too early. My AF came at normal time later that cycle. I google and saw that sometimes people get it after intercourse, ovulation or just random spotting or a scratch or damage to vaginal wall. It's probably nothing to worry about.
I'm trying to keep a record of these things so I can find patterns. I'm noticing lots more things that I'd never noticed in 20 years of cycles now I'm really looking!

Does anybody else have any suggestions?

You never know, I've looked at a lot of HPT pictures lately and it's normal to just have very faint lines until AF is due. That's partly why I'm holding off testing again until Thursday too, I really want to see a strong second line if I POAS. My chart didn't even start looking triphasic until 9 dpo, so Sunday's test probably would have been too early to detect it even if I am pregnant. FF has a lot of good info in their FAQs about their HPT studies that convinced me to hold out; I think you might find them comforting too: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/When_can_I_expect_a_positive_HPT_if_I_am_pregnant.html

will have a read of it now
will it say what triphasic means I have no idea what it is

There's an informal study on it here: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Triphasic_Pattern_and_Pregnancy.html

It's a second thermal shift to higher level that some women get after implantation. It's more common on pregnancy cycles but it doesn't really tell you anything. Just kind of exciting for chart stalking purposes!
