HELP!!!! Please help me.

Temp went up again today and I think I'm either12 or 14 dpo. I POAS - Internet cheapy = twp so naturally I peed on a FR = BFP

what the hell? What if it's fake and I need another operation?

What are the chances 44 days post erpc I'm pg again?

Can't stop shaking. Don't know what to think. Mouse xx

Sorry you are feeling low digi I think we all run a little low on hope from time to time, however, we have to keep picking ourselves up and trying again (frustrating as it is).

Thanks Terrys I am in FF friend now, don't know what went wrong earlier Confused

I've been feeling a bit low too Sad Despite apparently timing things just right this month (had positive OPK, EWCM, soft open cervix etc) I have absolutely NO symptoms, and amd feeling very non-pregnant. AF due on wednesday but don't think I'll even bother to test Sad

Arrrghh. What could have happened when you time it right but nothing? Do you think you usually conceive but the problem is with implanting? Or do you usually just not get the egg to fertilise? Confused

Terrys hopefully you will get another temp uplift tomorrow. It's great you had a positive OPk and other signs. My chart showed a gradual increase in temp over a number of days after ov. so maybe that will be the case with yours too...

BTW - I don't think I can get crosshairs tomorrow as my temps were so high in the beginning, maybe on Tuesday morning. What do you think??

Chart here

TerrysNo2 · 28/11/2010 18:37

Its working for me GetDown Confused

digi we are here for good and bad, I have found TTC-ing to be a very emotional process (and I have not gone through the difficulties that some of you have) so this is the place to share the good and bad of it all. I hope you have a nice evening! Do you have a cellar or shed as somewhere to store the baby things until you're ready for them?

I don't think you should give up yet coastgirl your temps are still quite above the coverline.

spilt I felt exactly that way about charting this week, just so impressed and clever that our bodies can be predicted and we can understand the whole process. No SWI this am, DS is up tooooo early for that (6.45am).

battery I hope you and DH can time it right this month, FX for you!

Nice evenings all. I am very excited about watching X-Factor tonight - both shows!! Grin

GetDownYouWillFall · 28/11/2010 17:27

Is anyone having trouble getting into FF today? Tried a few times and it's not loading....

digitalgirl · 28/11/2010 15:34

Thanks battery and spilt. Yes am cd30 today, I started counting CDs from first day of red. I was ov-ing between cd23-24 between mc's and hoped body would only be a week out as I've been taking ac and had a session of acupuncture. But maybe I'm just still too upset. Everyone on here just seems to be hatching egg after egg while I'm still waiting. I know it's not been that long, I am just having a down day.

We have a cot, carseat, Moses basket, baby bath, bouncer and hundreds of baby clothes that I haven't wanted to lend out to anyone just in case.

spilttheteaagain · 28/11/2010 15:11

Oh digi it's not the wrong thread at all (or at least if it is they should have all told me to bog off by now too...)

Is it about CD30 for you now?

This baby making lark can be so soul destroying and I really do feel for you. Wish I could say something helpful or promise you success but I can't. I really hope it happens for you soon and the next one sticks.

Remind me, what blood tests are you waiting for? Is it for thrombophilias?

digi - everyone is entitled to feel depressed and shitty - this is exactly the right thread for you. We all know how it feels to see the months whizz by. After my MC in October I made DP take the cot down and put the pram in my friends attic. We bought them at the begining of the year before my 1st MC - before I knew how common and crap MC's are, xxx so don't be worried about posting your thoughts and feelings xx

terrys have you and your dh collapsed in an exhausted heap yet? :) hope you get your crossed hairs soon!
mouse it took me a bit of time to get to grips with FF too, - the first time I entered my temp it told me it didn't believe me as I chart in celcius too. You just need to have a play about with it xx
lady meant to say I am really pleased that things are going well for you xx

Nothing going on here, AF still here, still light but am going with it for now. I go and see dp on thursday and then he is over here after that so I hope we hit my OV (if my body reverts back to my usual cycle ) so FX for this month :)- The only trouble being is that everytime I see him I end up with a raging urine infection from too much sex Grin

digitalgirl · 28/11/2010 13:03

Depressed. Cervix never opened this weekend like I thought it would. Gone firm again, temps still pre-ov. I'm now trying to get in the mindset for another 60day cycle. Which just pushes the whole waiting to ttc back further.
Am thinking it's never going to happen, I should just give ds baby stuff away and get a fucking grip. Sad

Sorry I have no hope today. Prob wrong thread.

coastgirl · 28/11/2010 12:50

Nice spike going on there, Terrys. You'll get your crosshairs tomorrow, do you think?

Splitthetea, it's bizarre to be prodding one's cervix with satisfaction, isn't it? The things we women have to do! If men ovulated they'd have created some device that tells you with no room for confusion, I reckon.

I'm still none the wiser wrt my chart - temps dropped, have still stayed low but above the coverline. I changed the discarded CD12 temp (took it too late) to non-discarded to see if that raised my coverline, and it did, but they were still above it. Had cramps yesterday and was in a bad mood all day but no AF. V annoying to be drinking lovely wine and trying not to have more than one glasse, just in case, even though I think I'm out this month. Ho hum - at least if AF shows up soon I am definitely finishing off the bottle, school night be damned Grin

spilttheteaagain · 28/11/2010 12:26

ooh my cervix has changed! It is harder and much lower. I love it when you find out that your body is actually doing what the books say. Until then I always think it's a nice theory, and then get very excited when I find out it works!

OP posts:
spilttheteaagain · 28/11/2010 10:18

terrys I think the cervix is supposed to revert quite quickly. It sounds like yours is closing.

Time for one last SWI this morning?

Mine temp is still low, so expecting the rise tomorrow.

OP posts:
TerrysNo2 · 28/11/2010 09:57

oops here

TerrysNo2 · 28/11/2010 09:56

Morning all!

Temp up for 2nd day in a row, first time this month www.fertilityfriend.com/home/terrysno2here.

When does your cervix change after OV? It still feels open and high but a bit firmer?? Confused

LadyGoneGaga · 28/11/2010 09:08

Mouse you can set it to Fahrenheit or Celsius in your settings on FF. I hope you've done it this time, sweet. Would be lovely xxx

mousebacon · 27/11/2010 22:01

I have got a FF account but keep failing in my attempts to put stuff on there. It also seems to be in farenheit which I don't understand!

I think I'm about 10 or 11 dpo and although it would be utterly magical to be pg again so soon, it's highly unlikely. AF due on tues/wed. Wed is the cremation so that'd be shitty timing!

Have had a fab day in the snow today DS has decided sledge is the only way to travel!

Hope you're all well xxx

WhenStNixgotstuckuptheChimney · 27/11/2010 20:53

terrys ah, i only like the sparkly ones Grin

TerrysNo2 · 27/11/2010 20:51

You know what nix, I hate Terry's Chocolate Orange, but there is a reason for my name, and I will out myself if (when ) I am safely upduffed as I have some RL friends who know my previous pseudonym.

whennixgotstuckupthechimney · 27/11/2010 20:34

terrys Grin (lovely and warm now thanks) I am eating a box of you right now!! (orange and sparkly slices...yes a whole box)

Second terrys IF.... Grin

spilttheteaagain · 27/11/2010 20:33

Well done terrys Grin

TerrysNo2 · 27/11/2010 20:29

I just hope it works LadyG as not sure we can muster up the energy for this every month!! Although it was very fun!!

Our night out has been cancelled as our babysitters mum is ill Sad but DH is cooking an indian feast instead. Yummmmm

IfAtFirst can I be the first thread adviser for you as you are TTC DC1? Well I will anyway Smile - go out lots and lots as you don't have to pay extortionate babysitter fees and you can have long long lie ins. Those are the 2 things I miss most from pre-DS days - ability to say "I fancy a night out" and just going, and staying in bed snoozing for as long as I want!! Please can I relive those days through you now?!? Grin

LadyGoneGaga · 27/11/2010 20:22

Show off, Terrys Grin. Hope the temps are up tomorrow....for your poor DH sake!

TerrysNo2 · 27/11/2010 20:11

well at least that would get you warmed up nix!! Grin

whennixgotstuckupthechimney · 27/11/2010 20:10

tis the blue blooded one in christmas disgiuse Grin

batteryhen · 27/11/2010 19:36

PMSL at the infants door comments! I have to admit, when she said I am going to put a needle in 'what we call the infants door' I did think ' oh no you're bloody not lady' until I realised what she meant Blush

It's so nice to be on a thread where everyone is as obsessive interested in charting and symptom spotting :)
