Yes usually implantation dips are characterized by a dip down to or below coverline. Not everyone sees an implantation dip though remember. It's more common to not see one than to see one. Usually a week or so after o a secondary estrogen surge can cause a dip in temp and that is what we most commonly see.

Kikurose I second what emshe said about creatng a thread for atomic to respond to. I also agree that attempts have a qay of just working out most times and the less thought and stress you put into it the better [emoji173] I know it's hard to remember but it takes a single sperm to fertilise an egg so while smep certainly ups your odds, if you only get one attempt in at 'go' time then you still have every chance. I would just bd whenever possible at least every few days and then if using opks try for an extra attempt then. If it works out with hubbys work great! If not, you'll still have a viable attempt by dtd every few days anyway [emoji4] As for the swaying side though, definately ask Atomics advice. She has a great way of calming things down with her explanations and advice [emoji173]

Emshe, yes we had a lovely day out thank you!
Thank you Mommy, yes it did feel good to get that result. Thanks for the screenshot, that’s really helpful [emoji106]
Pbn, thank you for your honesty. I totally get what you are saying and I too have done a bit of googling and I won’t be putting my faith in the test. It has just made me chill out a little though and I suppose that must be a good thing as my anxiety is pretty high at the moment. The waiting is so hard!! I just feel in limbo. How did you cope whilst waiting for your first scan?

Emshe thank you! Great idea on the am!! And thanks for the chart- when do you usually O after opk? Fx for you this cycle!

Mummy thank you! I’ve heard loss sways pink too, but I know several people who had boys when they got pregnant right after losses. And I was on the diet for seven months so you’re right- hope some of that stuck [emoji51]

Thank you so much, pbn <3

Mummy2boys as awful as this sounds I just assumed I wouldn't get that far... when I got to the dating scan I was measuring 2? days behind and in my mind the hb was too slow. So more waiting to mc until I got my NIPT results back at 11-12w which showed bub had no abnormalities. Only then did I start feeling a glimmer of hope but it wasn't until my 12w scan and seeing bub happy and healthy in there that I actually allowed myself to believe that this was going to be my take home baby.

I'm not sure what to say here as of course I want you to have hope and I have a gazillion truckloads of it for you but I'm not going to insult your intelligence either by saying you shouldn't worry and try not to stress as once you've been through repeated losses it's impossible. All I can say is have hope but let it be cautious hope until you get to your first scan [emoji173] Feel like a big fat meanie for saying all that [emoji17] but life isn't all rainbows and unicorns. Just know I'm here for you to vent, stress and celebrate with at any time. You can pm me whenever you need and I'll always be honest with you [emoji847]

Thank you Pbn, I truly appreciate all your help, kindness and honesty. I don’t know what we would all do without you in this group! I am so, so happy that you got your precious little girl and that all the worry you had was utterly worth it in the end. I know I will continue to stress and freak out until/if I manage to make it through to the 12 week scan and probably after too [emoji51] I am a big worrier unfortunately. Thank goodness this group is here to have somewhere safe and supportive to get all this stuff out! Thank you again [emoji4]

Thankyou mummy2boys [emoji173] I don't know how I would've got through the last few years without the wonderful ladies on this site. I'm just simply paying it forward plus seeing bfps (especially long and heartbreaking in the making ones) brings such a joy and happiness that sometimes I feel like a bfp parasite [emoji23]

I want to test on 10 Dpo, but can't bear the negative. Didn't you test with opk first? Does a pos opk around 10dpo indicate pregnancy?

Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

With my last pregnancy I read that a positive opk may indicate pregnancy and so I tried it and it was positive. So this time because I was so scared to test and see a negative i decided to just try the opk and see what happens and because it was positive I got some courage to do the hpt. I did mine at 11dpo with pretty concentrated fmu.

Most sites I read that the opk would turn positive after a positive hpt. I was just too chicken this time to do the hpt first lol

Hopeful how are you? Have you got pics of your pos opks? 4 in a row is unusual but I've seen it a couple times so it does happen. Terribly frustrating though [emoji17]

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Oh and maybe hold off until Sunday with next attempt if you're wanting to keep a pink lean with attempts... hoping you o today so you have an awesome timed 2-o attempt fx fx fx!

I understand your hesitation though at seeing a bfn and when your chart looks good it makes a bfn so much harder to swallow. The opk thing doesn't always work. So lh and hcg are kinda like twin hormones, an opk will pick up hcg and show as pos (but not before a hpt would) but a hpt doesn't detect lh (not that we'd use hpts as opks anyway [emoji857]) however, a lh surge just before is possible and I myself have gotten a dark but not pos opk i nthe days prior to af being due. So in short [emoji23] a pos opk from 10dpo onwards would be promising BUT neither a gaurantee that it would be followed either a bfp OR bfn.

This is so very true - 'I understand your hesitation though at seeing a bfn and when your chart looks good it makes a bfn so much harder to swallow.' thank you for being so kind and patient and explaining the lh and hcg equation. I think when God and the universe wants me to bring a baby into this world, it'll happen :-)

Thank you for writing this, Pbn. I feel like I am holding my breath until a 12 week scan. With my miscarriage I heard a heartbeat at 7.5 weeks and thought I'd made it to the second trimester, but the embryo stopped developing very soon after that scan. When/if I reach the second trimester and hear that strong hearbeat I will believe this is really going to work out. Until then I will hope cautiously. There's nothing to do except worry or hope cautiously, so let's aim for hope.

Well as for me, I tried really hard not to test again today and took my boys out for the day ( in the pouring rain..) which was good to take my mind off it. Then my clear blue tests arrived from amazon and I couldn’t help myself!! ( I seriously have a problem [emoji23][emoji23]) Anyway I got 2-3 weeks which I’m cautiously pleased about, with my last loss I didn’t get that till 20 dpo and I’m 16dpo now. I’m getting my repeat hcg done on Monday but I just wondered if anyone knew what hcg level clear blue is for 2-3 weeks?! Hoping I might find out if it’s going up or not eek https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...30872dc2c8.jpg[emoji51][emoji51]

Yay! I think the slight blood streak is a surge if estrogen? Good luck hopeful. TWW!!!

Hmmm todays and yesterdays definately positive and I've heard of (but not experienced) ovulation spotting? Hopefully it is that and we see a temp rise in the morning.. Otherwise an attempt tomorrow will cover you for delayed o regardless [emoji173]

Good morning ladies
Temps from this morning. I did wake up every few hours.
Against my better judgment and resolve, I tested with frer this morning. I'm 9dpo. Got BFN. I really wish I hadn't tested and ruined my mood at the start of the day. Not knowing would have given me hope to wait optimistically for the new few days :-(
My boobs are sore, larger and the aereola /nipple area looks a shade darker. That got me excited to test.
Now, I don't want to test tomorrow. If I can hold out, I'll test on 11dpo. Wish you all good luck! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...be084a97a4.jpg

HDP hold onto hope, your symptoms sound positive, 9dpo is very early. Give it a couple of days and you may just get that bfp we’re all wanting for you [emoji847]

As I always say I didn’t even get a Squinter until 12dpo! And my first sign was dark nips :p

HDP a rise is always a hopeful sign but yes disturbed sleep can cause a falsely high temp too. Good news is 9dpo is normally simply too early for a bfp so will look forward to your next test whenever that will be [emoji3][emoji173] (tomorrow right? [emoji12] just kiddin [emoji173])

Temp spike is exciting, though as pbn said the disturbed sleep could cause it to have been high.

I pray that you end up having a good day especially knowing that 9dpo is pretty early. I also hope that you can easily hold out until 11dpo :)

I dont know if this is true for everyone but I think a symptom that is not usually a post ovulation one for you is a good sign.

FX that temp stays high!!!

Gafan i understand u. Waiting till 12 weeks is very long and we are worry if everything is ok... we must believe and pray:pray::heart:

Can I ask which Amazon you use? I couldn't find these on Amazon US.

So true noemi!

One hurdle is getting those 2 lines and the next is praying for a h&h 9 months.

How have you been? When is your next appt?

Thanks for the support girls! It cheered me up. My family is visiting and we are driving up to Catskill in upstate NY for the day! So I'm going to just jump into family day and be goofy and take my mind off this!
I think I might be pregnant, because my breasts are killing me. I changed clothes thrice this morning trying to get comfortable. Like most women, I also have some tender breasts as PMS, but never to the point of constant discomfort. I'm also cramping on /off the past 3 days. At this point, I'm sort of uncomfortable and wish this will pass. I've only had this type of discomfort in my early days of nursing.
Hope you all have a relaxing weekend! And may the next week be filled with happy Aug BFPs.
Let's see if we can keep up with July! :)
