***September beautiful beans** Testing thread***

[BabyBrain80]

It was af for me so I never even made it to September testing after all

@Lucy3 I hope the bleeding isn't af. Just wondering did you use frer since your loss and had clear negatives? After a mc a few years ago I had light positives on frer for months! I began to think I'd always get lines on them forever cos they were so sensitive. Now it's sort of hit n miss with these dodgy lines.
I really hope this isn't the case for you and this will be your rainbow bfp xxx

I am wondering if I need to change something or add something. I've honestly been rubbish at taking any supplements past few months. I did take ubiquinol, folate and conceive plus now n then. I guess I'm starting to think there's no point.
I do wonder if my progesterone is low...appart from taking progesterone (which I dont) is there a way to help it otherwise?
Seeing some other charts my temperature never goes as high as others. My thyroid is fine apparently. I've attached a bit of my chart from April/may that I had a chemical. I ovulated late that month too. These temps are quite normal for me it seems but don't know if it's a bad thing?

Sorry about AF rearing her ugly head, @BabyBrain80 I hope this is your cycle

Sorry AF arrived.
The temperature itself doesn't matter, the shift shows that you ovulated, and the fact that your temperature was up for more than 12 days is great, because you seem to have enough progesterone to support implantation. The rest is up to the embryo, and you can't do much to influence it other than taking folic acid and avoiding toxic stuff (including high amounts of caffeine, for example).

I feel that on one hand it's reassuring to know I can't do much, on the other hand I would like to have more control and feel that it's not just luck. But that's how it is...

Good luck for your next cycle!

Hi all!!! Not sure when I’ll ovulate as I’m cd9 today… but probably testing around September 15! I’ll update when I ovulate! I needed a bit of a break away but I’m back!!! How’s everyone?

 

[Dream143r]

Hey @Alligator I'm just a few days behind you again. CD5 for me. Are you taking any supps right now?

I'm slowly picking back up on the supps I was taking when I got preggo with my son. CoQ10, L-Carnitine, omega3 etc and a prenatal of course.

 

[Sander]

Sorry for af babybrain

Hi Alligator welcome back!

Does anyone know the details on ovulation and OPK’s? There’s so much conflicting info online. I had EWCM yesterday and a dye stealer opk, then got O pains on the right side. This morning I have another dye stealer opk. So did I ovulate yesterday or has it not happened yet? I’ve read multiple different things. The EWCM is gone now and I’ve seen that your last day of EWCM is O day, but I also was under the impression O day was when your opk went back to negative. Ideas? Just worried we were too far out for having our last bd on Sunday.

@BabyBrain80 Sorry. Not fair at all. Stupid af.

@Alligator Welcome back. FX!!

Hey ladies how are you all? Just catching up on everyone’s news.. so sorry to all who have af and fingers crossed for next cycle..

question: I am on cd20 we decided not to ttc (well I did but DH just can’t help himself).. but today I have pink cm.. literally only when I go to the toilet.. has anyone else experienced this? Or could it be af come early? Not sure when I ov because I wasn’t tracking.

 

[amb_83]

Hi ladies!
I would love to join. I had a MC at week 11 in early june. And now I’m hoping to soon get a positive test again. It would be baby #3 and I feel like time is running out because i will be 38 in october. AF is due sep 7th and I pray she’ll stay away!
I might be brave and test in the morning with and early test.
I will read through the whole thread as soon as I’ve posted this.
Hugs to all of you!
Anna

Thanks so much @Nima that is helpful, I know that the shift was important but I started worrying about temp in general, like we always have to start looking for something else to try and fix! I fell pregnant last year by complete accident and there was no early loss (having expected it to be another) so I know my body isn't completely useless! Its frustrating that I can't get pregnant again after all this time, maybe I'm trying too hard?!
I could probably do better diet wise. I've been drinking decaffeinated tea for years as I prefer it anyway and I've stopped drinking fizzy juice recently - it was my addiction, 1 can of coke a day! But I ran out and didn't buy anymore, go me!! Haha! I should eat more veg though...

Thanks everyone, I've had a few cries as usual. But I think I'm just a bit over emotional at the moment! Also thanks for the support 're my OH being an arse! Still a bit frosty at home but hopefully we will get back on track.

Love you guys! X

I have had pink spotting on 3dpoish but never got any around implantation window. Cd20 is early for af. FX this is a good sign

Sounds like you are doing ok on your diet. Add in some antioxidants for egg health and overall detox and bet you will feel a big change. I love tea too but coffee gets me every time. Had my first in 3 months the other day could hardly stomach it...lol
Its ok to feel emotional right now. We will see you through it. Hugs


AFM: My chin looks like pepperoni pizza. I never break out like this. Have a beard of zits. Hope Ovulation acts weird too and pops out a healthy egg. I wont complain...lol. I wonder if its because of all of my supplements I am taking now. Hope they are working.

Heard back from RE on my failed retrieval. Was very drab meeting. All he said was everthing looks good fsh/amh.

You just have old eggs Im guessing. Then started talking about donor eggs. I was livid internally. Outwardly I nodded. He said he really didnt see the point in using my eggs again because they matured too fast which means something is dysfunctional about my ovaries or eggs...dude was so into trying to lead me into embryo adoption that he couldn't even tell me WHY really or show any interest in trying to figure out how to help. I have never seen an RE give up that fast.

Must have caught wind that I cant really afford another retrieval anyway. My eggs made it to day 3 at least. I have more eggs in me but he said if I got pregnant through another retrieval it wouldn't be because of anything he did. Would just be a chance happening.

Just went through hell with stims and retrieval and he just dusts his hands off like ,- oh, well.

Not giving up. Hubby and I are taking our vitamins and eating right. Gonna keep giving it our all. Just not like crazed stressed out bders like we use to be.

Onwards and upwards

@FTale you are a real hero I am in awe, you just inspire optimism and hope.

@Deethehippy
Awww looks lovely where you are hon. Hope ure having a great time.
Loved all the pics on FB too.
Lovely temp rise on ure chart hon.
Rooting for ya as always.

@BabyBrain80
Hugs hugs hugs and more hugs hon.
When I was temping I had alot of cycles where I barely had any rise.
I can remember like u comparing my chart to others and just feeling like something was a mis.
I wud see all these charts with these massive rises and mine just looked so rubbish in comparison.
I thought it was my progesterone and then put that down to the first 3 early losses.
But having my progesterone tested and it was all normol.
But I was told that as long as FF confirms ovulation than that's good.
I'm so sure intact I know that u will get ure rainbow hon. And I really really hope its soon.
Ttc so so hard and its OK to cry and get upset.
Sending u great big massive juggles sweetheart.

@Alligator
Welcome back hon.


@Tryphena
Think it was you hon that mentioned u had some pink spotting when wiping?

I've never had implantation bleeding b4 but with this one I did.
I had at 14dpo and it when I went for a wee and wiped.
Mine was a pinky orange colour.
I already had my BFP at 10dpo but I do know implantation spotting can happen during or just after implantation. Cd20 is early for AF so I really hope that it is implantation.
Good luck hon.

@Lucy3
I really hope it's not horrible AF and is implantation bleeding. Fingers crossed so tightly.

@Sander
Hi hon.
So with this pregnancy I had 2 days of blazing positive OPKs.
I don't normally ovulate until cd 13 to 15 but all day cd9 I had lots of ewcm. Thought it odd so tested and got a peak opk on a digital and a normol strip opk.
Panicked like crazy about it being too early.
But cd10 I was still having peak OPKs. And on the evening of cd10 I had right side Overy pain.
Then the ewcm cleared up and by cd11 my opks were still dark but negative.
I didn't temp that whole cycle was just so done with temping after doing it for so long.
But because I was worrying about O being on cd9 I did my temp on cd 10 and cd 11 and 12.

Low and behold ovulation was on the evening of cd10 when I had the pain.
So I ovulated on the 2nd day of positive OPKs.
I hope that helps a bit hon.
So u cud of O today.
Fx for you sweety.

@amb_83
Awww I'm so sorry about ure loss hon.
I lost my very first baby at 10+4 weeks and it is awful so my heart goes out to you.
I really hope u get ure rainbow BFP soon hon.
This baby is my rainbow after experience 4 back to back very early losses last year. The womon in these testing groups are just the best
I don't think I wud of got through it without them.
Ure in the right place.
Good luck hon and welcome to baby and bump.

@hayleight87
Oh hon I'm so sorry about the BFNs. So horrible after getting lines.
Thinking of you.

@FTale
Hugs hon. That Dr sounds so rude.
I had one very similar to that when I was referred to the recurring miscarriage unit.
Basically was told it was all my age and my eggs are probably no good.
He was so rude made me cry.
They just seem to shrug it off like it's no big deal.
But to us it is a huge deal.
I feel like older women are so discriminated against and it's just not on at all.
So sorry u had to endure that hon.
Can't believe he was trying so hard to make u do donner eggs.
Nah u keep trying hon. Stuff him.


Hope I've not missed anyone.

I am sending so much September baby dust ti u all.

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Nima
Sending u lots of baby dust too hon

 

[Tryphena]

@Suggerhoney you are so kind to reply to everyone like that.
It wasn't me asking about implantation bleeding, but I'm sure they will find your post super helpful!

 

[Tryphena]

This morning my temp went down 1c from yesterday, but they are still higher than last month. I didn't wake up to cramping, but it is only 7:30am so still early lol.
I was going to test this morning but my DP has the day off, and I didn't want to obsess over it. Of course he is going into work to sort something out, so I totally could have tested! Maybe I'll do an SMU when he leaves
Although I'm only 10dpo so it'll be negative anyway haha

 

[Lightning7]

10 dpo and I think the line is a tiny bit darker then yesterday's was when it was wet, however I'm also having brown spotting on wiping which I know that can be implantation bleeding but for me it is always followed by a chemical so I think I'm likely out. Also had a temp dive this morning though I did have broken sleep as my 3yo came to our bed at 3am and I never sleep well once he is beside me snoring away happily
Bottom test on each picture is today's
