MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 09/03/2011 11:06

Yay mrsA!!! :) Congratulations!

I had dip today too so have new hope :)

TerrysNo2 · 09/03/2011 10:20

mrsA I am so so chuffed for you!! Grin That is most definitely a BFP!! Grin Grin

Teds77 · 09/03/2011 10:06

Mrs Arch that's lovely news -congrats!

Has cheered me up a little as my temps dropped the morning and I'm spotting. On the plus side I now don't have to have the conversation with DH that goes something like "You know how you were mortified about wanking into a jar whilst in a hospital, well turns out you didn't need to do that at all because I was actually pregnant at the time..." Grin

Ho Hum. Am booked in for blood tests on Friday so hopefully we'll know where we are a little bit more in a few weeks time.

Newgolddream · 09/03/2011 10:04

mrsarch - wow - ~~~CONGRATULATIONS~~~~

thats def a BFP. Your chart is so interesting because of drop - obviously making you think AF was on the way - and then whoosh lol.

GetDownYouWillFall · 09/03/2011 09:49

Yep, yep, yep. Definitely a positive!

I knew this would happen for you eventually. Smile

You must be so over the moon!

Sorry could not help but stalk you - have looked at your chart yesterday and was secretly holding my breath for you!!!! EEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

So pleased.

Come join us on the grads thread, whenever you feel ready. I know it's a daunting time.

But,,, YAY!

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 09/03/2011 09:19

Morning ladies. Firstly, apologies that I've gone quiet. The last few days up to AF was really stressing me out so I decided to lurk but not post until I had news, good or bad.

Well.......um......I got bfp this morning!!!

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/MrsArch

My temps have been all over the place this cycle and ff thought I ov on cd 19 and so today is dpo 14 (my LP is 11 or 12). If I ov on cd 22 (possibly as the spike on that day is due to a massive drinkathon Blush) I am dpo 11 today.

Anyway, my temps had dropped in the past few days but then soared yesterday so I POAS. Negative but there was a faint line after 20mins - assumed it must be an evaporation line as it was clear.
Today temps down but not below coverline, so I POAS again and a faint pink line appeared within a few mins. So, I guess I'm pg!

Can't believe it (and trying not to get hopes up in case it's not a keeper). Going to buy some digital tests today.
DP went a bit quiet - he was like this with DD - pleased but he worries about money (me too - god knows how we'll afford 2 nursery places!!).
I won't disappear ladies, I know how truly awful it is to get AF every cycle and wishing you all the very best of luck.

It took us a year to conceive DD without charting and 6 months of properly trying with charting to conceive No 2 (I hope - fingers crossed for sticky bean!)

The only thing I did differently this cycle was relax, get away for a bit, get a baby sitter in and shared a bottle or two of wine with DP at a nice restaurant. Plus managed to swi while DD slept in the next bed in the hotel room!!! So, all in all a real family affair.

I have to say though that acupuncture has really helped me to relax.

I also have really low temperatures. Just think that is how I work!

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 08/03/2011 21:58

oooh interesting Auntie here's hoping!

AuntieDoris · 08/03/2011 21:52

Ifatfirst - my temps have take a bit dip too... chart here. I am hoping that it might be an implantation dip but I suspect it is vain hope.

weimy · 08/03/2011 20:30

here is the link to my chart, not ov'd yet but should soon if my body behaves Hmmwww.fertilityfriend.com/home/weimy

weimy · 08/03/2011 20:16

thanks scrummy x

Ifatfirst could it be an implantation dip?

essence you are soooo good getting a trainer!

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 08/03/2011 18:35

I'm loving the new FF, although it took me a while to find out where my home page web address was for links! essence I'm slightly jealous of your personal trainer, the most I get is DH encouraging me to have a quick run round the block!! Mrsden fingers crossed for you, without getting your hopes up too much,when I got PG in October, my temps were only about 20c above the cover line :) My temps this month have taken a huge dip over the last two days, I'm back down to my coverline Confused www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3

Scrummybumb · 08/03/2011 17:38

Oh, and MrsDen - IT IS RUBBISH, this whole waiting game. I kept thinking why could i have not had ONE thing happen to me easily in life, i always seem to have to do it the tough way, but then i try and remember that 6-12 months is normal for our age (not that it really helps on the bad days)

Scrummybumb · 08/03/2011 17:31

essence thanks for your response. I'll keep an eye on that for future charts (not much to compare to with first full chart this month). Well done for your exercise!!!

MrsDen It seems you're in sync with me and Truffkin! Too novice to guide you on your temps though.... Blush

weimy knock them dead and knock yourself pregnant! Wink. Seriously, I hope they get it sorted quick, noting worse than living in anticipation for too long.

Teds FX for you!

Vintage have a Brew on me!

Over here, on queue the spotting has started,shortly followed by mental meltdown, hideous headaches, bloating like a balloon and monster cramps. Oh, don't you just love being a woman!

Ps. Do we like the new look FF?

VintageNancy · 08/03/2011 16:53

Thanks weimy I've managed to convince myself that the reason I'm suffering so badly when DH is fine today is because I'm clearly pg! AF is due Sunday.

weimy · 08/03/2011 16:48

Sorry you feel :( mrsden I will keep fx for you xx

teds fx crossed too!

Hope you feel better vintage

Hello everyone else!

Teds77 · 08/03/2011 12:53

Not really! I had a real tiredness in my legs at the weekend which I had the one time I've previously been pg but to be honest, it's really hectic at work so that's just as likely to be because I'm plain old shattered rather than pg.

I shouldn't get my hopes up but it's just so difficult not too. I imagine AF will arrive at about 23:55 which is what happened last time I got excited! Angry

mrsden · 08/03/2011 12:28

ohhh sounds hopeful Teds do you have any other signs? I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

Teds77 · 08/03/2011 11:54

Ladies have been more anonymous than a charter this month but have been trying to 'relax'... However, I'm no longer managing to do this because I've made it to CD27 without any spotting/pinky-brown CM etc. and no drop in temperature... Last month cycle was 25 days and they have been 26 days for a while before that... Obviously CD27 could become CD1 at any point but I'm foolishly getting my hopes up!

The next few hours will no doubt be dominated by lots of frantic knicker-checking and prodding around for CM.. Blush

Ahhhhh... x

VintageNancy · 08/03/2011 11:12

Hi all, haven't checked in for a few days. I've been ill (food poisoning) so didn't temp yesterday (well I took it in the middle of the day and it was 38.5 thanks to a fever). Took it an hour late today so not taking much notice of it.

my chart

weimy sorry about your job worries :(

mrsden sorry you feel that AF is on the way. I have read that consistently low temps (under 36 from memory) pre-ov could be thyroid related.

essence that sounds like torture!

Hello everyone else!

mrsden · 08/03/2011 10:56

AF due on Thurs, I know I'm not pregnant. I've got no symptoms and my temps are too low to be pregnant (36.3). My temps have been lower all month, no idea why but I have felt cold during the day too. I'm resigned to starting cycle 9. Fed up though and I feel really sad about itSad.

weimy sorry to hear your job might be at risk. But I agree it's almost certain you'll fall pregnant this month Smile

Hello to everyone else, I'll have a proper read through later and try and respond.

Here is my chart. Do low temps mean low progesterone?www.fertilityfriend.com/home/mrsden
