I seem to have ridiculously long cycles, which makes life very frustrating.

and thanks for starting the new bus, birchy

birchygoo · 16/08/2015 22:06

I'm with you on the long cycles pin my record so far is 39 days!! I do get jealous of the shorter cycles - although last month for me was only 27 days.

Hi all, my stats don't need updating yet as I'm still waiting to test/af.

I had a big temp dip this morning, 11dpo, well below the cover line. I know this means af is on her way (albeit a little early) from everyone's experience will she arrive today, tmrw or in a couple if days?

We're taking dd to see the butterflies at the natural history museum tmrw and is rather not have af start. Boo

birchygoo · 17/08/2015 08:39

Kitty sorry for your temp drop. I'm my experience af normally arrives that evening or early next morning. But everyone is different!

OP posts:
KittyandTeal · 17/08/2015 08:42

Thanks. At least I've got a warning. I wasn't expecting af until thurs so at least I can go out tmrw prepared.

I wasn't expecting a bfp this month tbh, cycles been all over the place and neither of us have been 100% so I'm not too surprised Smile

daisylassy · 17/08/2015 11:29

Wow the year is flying past!! Thanks for the new bus Birchy! I hope your having a good month... Fx that's it's a successful bfp month for us all!

ToffeeAppleMarsBar · 17/08/2015 11:45

Hi everyone! Hoping on this new bus - no update to my stats yet. Read the Sperm Meets Egg Plan book over the weekend and discussed with DH - think we're going to stick to these principles. So, CD8 saw us DTD yesterday and we'll continue with one day on, one day off until ovulation. FINGERS CROSSED.

Sorry to hear about impending AF Kitty.

KittyandTeal · 17/08/2015 12:09

Thanks.

It seems early for a temp dip. I ovulated day 15 (temp rise and peak opk previous day) so that would give me a 12 day luctel period rather than last months 12.

Has anyone had a dip below cover line then af turn up a few days later rather than the next day?

I thought your LP didn't vary. I'm very confused. I guess it could just be an anomily too

ToffeeAppleMarsBar · 17/08/2015 12:31

I'm afraid I literally know NOTHING about temping kitty, but someone I'm sure will have a better idea on here. I think the answer to everything is that our bodies do strange things all the time!

I've only just started temping so I also have no idea.
Welcome Nevlet x

Emilygremily · 17/08/2015 14:38

Hello all,

still no update on me i just think it is a matter of time before AF so i thought i would pop over to the new bus :(

daisylassy · 17/08/2015 15:04

I hope you get an ad or a bfp soon Emily. Sorry I don't do temps so I'm no help on that topic...

birchygoo · 17/08/2015 15:24

Hi Kitty, You haven't said what your normal LP is, you have said it would give you a 12 day LP instead of last months 12.... You are right LP isn't suppose to change.

It has never happened to me but I have also seen on other charts a dip below the cover line and a rise again the next day. So it could be this. For me LP can be 12 or 13 days. It does depend. However it will mostly be night time onset of AF if 12dpo or morning onset of af if 13dpo. So it could be something like this as well..

Take your temp again tomorrow and if its still low then its AF coming (as this is progesterone levels dropping that makes temp come down and even if you have no af with low progesterone levels you cant sustain a pregnancy). However as mentioned it is possible to have 1 anomaly drop in temps. This is why we are always looking at trends of our temp not what each individual one does.

Nevlet Welcome!! wishing you a speedy journey!

Emily still no answer either way - how annoying!! Have you done any tests recently?

I'm trying temping and OPKs this month for the first time, have super faint lines yesterday and today, but as I'm only on cd7, I'm using these ones as a sort of base line. DTD yesterday morning, and DH and I are getting up early every day so we can spend more time together before I go to work, so hoping mornings could make the difference. I always seem to OV in the middle of the day, so should be able to catch that egg.
It's our 2 year anniversary a week tomorrow, so great excuse to dtd plenty, and nothing at all to do with baby making

Fingers crossed for you all x

birchygoo · 17/08/2015 16:11

Hi Lily welcome aboard the new bus - do you mean ETD of 14th Sept..?

Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary!!

KittyandTeal · 17/08/2015 16:21

Sorry, that should have said last months 14 day LP!

I'm feeling pretty 'periody' so I think she is just around the corner.

I'm sure after a few cycles of temping I'll get to know the patterns etc.

lilygirl81 · 17/08/2015 16:22

birchy oops, yep, 14th September. Thanks, we are going out to our favourite restaurant for Sunday lunch as they are unaffordable any other time, and then will just have a really good meal at home on the actual anniversary.

Thanks for the new thread pingoose.Moving over from the August bus as that thread is almost full, very quiet and I'm testing late in the month anyway. So no need to update stats yet.

Welcome nevlet.

I was determined not to symptom spot, but alas! App has me at 9dpo but I think more 5/6dpo. However this morning I noticed some leaking from my right boob. Then I had a little go at hand expressing and I am getting loads of yellowy-White milk. Just like colostrum. Not had anything there since I stopped bf in November. Surely this is waaaaay too early for that???

These buses seem lucky so I'm hoping on!

birchygoo · 17/08/2015 16:49

Sounds lovely lily

welcome over oDog I will keep both pages running for now but I do have stats running for both buses on the one page. I'm sorry I can't help with any advice about leaking breast. I have no knowledge what so ever about that, still awaiting my first BFP. I hope it does mean something though!
