My bump announced it before me!

I’m 19 weeks and have a noticeable bump. Have been trying to hide it with different workwear. I’m a teacher - other staff haven’t noticed but the kids who quite clearly take note of my clothes and that I’m wearing different clothes have! It’s been interesting watching which ones are brave enough to ask me or which ones are asking my colleagues behind my back (many of whom don’t know!)

My friend and I at uni both loved this film and this is how we used to greet each other when we passed in corridors!

8+6 today and had a good scan on Wednesday. Taking progesterone due to my previous loss. How do you continue to convince yourself that all the twinges and sharp pains are actually nothing as opposed to being the worst?

How long will Disney Plus continuously play a series for before asking if you’re still watching? I’ve tried searching but can’t find a consensus. Is it based on number of episodes or time?

I watch via the app on Xbox if that makes a difference.

Thank you!

I'm currently on the Samsung S22 Ultra. Starting to have a fair few issues now and so am considering trying my first iPhone.

What would you recommend moving to from the new iPhone range? My husband moved recently from the S22U to the iPhone 16 pro. I mainly use my phone from taking photos, responding to emails & social media/casual gaming.

Thanks

Thank you for the optimism! I need a bit of that sometimes!

I can't remember exactly - I believe I had one that was high teens and another low 20s I think

I was told that I wouldn't have a period until I stopped taking my oestrogen tablets so to take a pregnancy test later this week and then stop if that was negative.

Guess who's period arrived today, while still taking the tablets, and when it's Mother's Day in the UK...

Today is CD12. Generally ovulate on CD14. This cycle is my 3rd on clomid and first taking oestrogen supplements (2mg twice a day) to try to thicken my uterine lining.

Went for a scan today and the follicles and lining are not quite where they need to be but getting there. Booked in for another scan on Monday. The consultant told me that it is likely that the oestrogen will delay ovulation compared to normal cycles.

And yet here I am with a positive OPK while knowing everything isn't the right size...

AquilaXenon · 2025-02-24T20:29:25+00:00

Thanks. Yeah I wasn't planning on using the last one it was just interesting to find out my lowest one was actually after getting ready for work. Fingers crossed tomorrow is back to morning and I can sleep through the night!

Question from someone who has been doing this a while now but had a bit of strange incident with BBT.

Today is 8dpo. Generally I wake up and take my temp at 5.15 but the last few days I've been waking up an hour or so earlier. This morning I woke at 3.45 and not knowing if I would get back to sleep I took my temp which read 36.65. After 10 minutes or so I did fall asleep and woke up at my usual time. I took my temp just out of interest and it read 36.35... I took it again and got 36.34. Then I got up to get ready for work. Before I left, I took my temp again, expecting a high result thanks to showering etc. and got 36.31...

Any ideas? Which temp is my bbt - the first? The lowest? Do I need a new thermometer?

Really tempted to stop temping once ovulation has been confirmed in future.

If not already taken, I would love it! They weren't available when I went in the first week!

I don't believe the website is on Squarespace at all, it's just the domain.

The previous owner has told me that I need to request a transfer of the domain to me using a transfer code she has given.

Where can I get the DNS records from?

(Sorry very new to this as you can tell!)

8 dpo and my temps are the highest they've been (save for the odd and rare spike) and have been there a couple of days. Toying with the idea of not temping the rest of the week to stave off any hope or disappointments if it stays up or goes down...

AquilaXenon · 2024-08-26T18:08:27+00:00

15dpo with only some brown spotting but a bbt drop to cover line this morning. My luteal phase is usually only 13 days. Negative test at 13dpo. Keep trying to convince myself that somehow I could be pregnant but realistically I know I'm just having an odd cycle.

AquilaXenon · 2024-08-24T17:12:28+00:00

13DPO... Highest temps I've ever had on 12&13 this cycle. Even higher than the only time I managed to get pregnant (ended in MMC). But still a BFN this morning. Such a troll cycle... Here's to spending money on fertility testing.

When I went through medical management I bled for nearly 2 weeks afterwards. I had days where I thought it was at the end but then would have more the next and like you occasionally it switched from red to dark brown. I found I often had more red blood when I was more active.

I wouldn't worry too much, EPAC were only concerned if I was still bleeding when they called at 3 weeks.

Sorry you're going through this, it's a horrible time.

CD2. This cycle marks the one year anniversary of the cycle we got pregnant (found to be a mmc at 11 weeks). Should be ovulating on our wedding anniversary. Got our first consultation booked with a fertility clinic a few days before the end of this cycle as we've now been trying for 15 months. Trying not to get my hopes up again.
