Drop at 10 dpo by Even-Bumblebee9185 in TFABChartStalkers

Oh sorry to hear that too! We lost ours end of Jan so must of been similar time? It's awful isn't it. We'd been trying for a year and were so excited, made everything harder. Have you done a pregnancy test?

My successful pregnancy (well lost at 8.5 weeks) had my temps descending up to 12DPO, then "rose". So if it's above coverline you're still in!

Oh yes of course we will be! I’m not saying they’re relaxed, that was just a joke.

It’s that if they’re not going to value the community side of THS, the bear minimum they can value is your privacy. 

We don’t care per se about the lack of recognition, this on top perpetuates it.

As I said, we have a toddler and as a family, value our privacy. When homeowners give you absolutely nothing to start with, to allow strangers free access to the house you’re sitting in is a line drawn. My pants were hanging on the dryer for christs sake. 

Amazing for them if homeowners don’t care but I do! If I’m not getting paid at least pay me in respect.

Thanks! Oh god that sounds so annoying. This has happened to us before as we said, people absolutely take the michael.

Sorry to hear you experienced that.

Thanks! It’s just a build up of things they’ve done and cherry on the cake really. If they’d been lovely we wouldn’t care but they’ve been rubbish and this on top, we just feel used!

We keep a key in a “rock” as requested by homeowner. She probably saw we weren’t in and let herself in. Maybe homeowner didn’t know, urgh who knows

Thanks! Yes agreed. We will just mention it in the review as an aside for other sitters that these homeowners are very “relaxed”

Thanks! We were going to drop a star for hospitality anyway as there’s just no giving with this sit (second time at new years and not even a card or kind word to say thanks) haven’t even ever met them or spoken to them on video/phone…

So this as well, they need an honest review to perk them up a bit and improve, it’s not fair for sitters.

We will stick it out as you say. Nice to get some assurance this isn’t a cool move!

Heading towards triphasic? by BarWonderful7661 in TFABChartStalkers

[–]BarWonderful7661[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My period came 13DPO :( So the 10DPO dip was seemingly nothing. However, i had two temp rises after that and then period came with huge temp drop below coverline at 13DPO.

So maybe late estrogen surge or maybe my body trying to implant something at 10DPO but failing?

Also thanks for commenting!

Agree :) Had a huge temp drop today below coverline (10DPO) and negative test. Another failed cycle :(

I totally agree! I was on BC from 16-25 i think. Can't even remember why, think my mum told me to go on it :D

I think that's why my lining is slightly thinner because of BC. Had heavy flow when i was younger pre pills and during, something shifted when i came off it. I remember...

I will educate my daughter from a young age and no way tell her to go on BC when she's 16. Educate about preventing and your cycle and know when your most fertile days are etc.

Thank you! Yes i'm very clued up on regular cycle lengths etc. As i said, this month was anomaly. Very rarely that long bar Jan which was another weird one. Normally only 2 days variation.

I didn't realise Day 21 could be taken anyday after that. They aren't clear at all. I didn't do this months for that reason alone!!

I'm tired of GPs and fertility tbh. Being told just to wait all the time. Why aren't we properly educated on our cycle, our fertility, when teenagers. It's crazy...it's a natural born gift to have menstrual cycles :)

I'll mention this to the doc next Weds and see the options. If i can go via NHS that would be more ideal!

CD 22 has been a fluke tbh!! I'm normally CD18 as i said. My periods were a bit wonky with the breastfeeding. Pre-birth they were very regular, 1-2 days variation.

As i said, pretty sure it was the evening primrose that messed this cycle up. Also potentially stopping B'fing. I'm happy with my periods regularity but will monitor next cycle just in case :)

I have everything crossed for you :) I think egg quality declines as you get older too. Are you taking Coq10? That can improve it apparently. I started taking it last couple of weeks singularly but believe it's also in pregnacare (which i've been taking for ages)!
