Emshe your chart link is back!

HDP one small dip in temp means nothing. As for what to watch for now, either a rise back up and higher is promising but so is a rise back up and maintaining. As long as you dont see a steady decline - like you mentioned - over the next few days, I'd be feeling pretty darn good about testing. 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 :-)

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 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.

Good luck in the tww 🤞thunderstruck and anyone else I’ve missed!

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 [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]
