Podmog - That's really crappy for you.

hope you have a speedy recovery, and at least you have a more accurate knowledge of your cycles.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

I am feeling INCREDIBLY sick this morning. Don't think I'm pg though. I am due my AF in 6 days so still too early to test and waaaaaaaaayyyy too early for morning sickness!

How is everyone?

cazzybabs - your thermometer should be to two decimal places. Then track your temps first thing when you wake and you should see a pattern...you should be before you expect the temps to rise and when they are up a few days you can stop. After a few mths of doing this you will see a pattern and know when to bd.
You can always use OPKs ovulation predictor kits to help you out in the first few mths. I used the clearblue pack of 7 and they just backed up the temp thing to confirm when I ovulated.

Podmog and Hermykne - I wish you good luck with your testing this weekend. Would like to see some smileys on Monday!

Quacks - am keeping fingers crossed for you the whole time!

Hana, I booked my smear for next Thursday as planned. I will just tell the Nurse when i get there that there is a tiny chance I might be pg. She might do a test or just have a good look.

CD - Thats just sooooo crap! Hope you get over it nice and quickly.

quackers, am going to do a home test tomorrow night or sat morn if no action!

and when i rang my doc for the result he was a bit put offish, its negative, goodbye, now i know he had a patient in his room but a little more "its early or try again at the end of the week"

Quackers - am clearly beiong thick (its Thurs and I am tired!!!). Right

  1. What is BBT?
  2. I have a digital Them. so take temp everyday and record it. When it goes up that means that I should have BD...so I need to do IT every two days for at least a week when I think it is and stop when my temp has gone up or keep going?

I know this has been said before because I remember reading it on previous threads, but need to clarify it on my own head.

Thank you for your help

quackers · 20/11/2003 20:41

Oh Cazzybabs, the only way to truly know you;re ov'g is by taking your BBT everyday, ie use a digital thermometer. A rise of at least .2 for 3 days or more will confirm you ov'd! Botts do the kit for about a tenner!

quackers · 20/11/2003 20:40

Hermykne, Hi, I know two people who had a doctors test and it was neg, then a home pg kit gave a positive! Have u done a home test - clearblue etc...??

cazzybabs · 20/11/2003 19:26

Ok girls Af (finally) turned up yesterday. Was a little disappointed, but not surprised.
Seem to be having weird lengh cycles, so what methods do you use to see if you are ovulating?

fisil · 20/11/2003 19:18

Negative this morning. Still no AF, but must be on its way.

Sorry you're ill CD, even if you could, would you feel like ttc, and then being pg? Better to deal with one thing at once!

hermykne · 20/11/2003 18:43

still no sign of AF (i find the euphenism hilarious). so now 3 days after negative test at docs.and four days late.
bizarre.
so decided to have a glass of red wine tonight!

countess how awful to get g/fev er.
podmog i'll be waiting anxiously for your testing this weekend.

did some retail therapy mum2ela!

BTW, Podmog, thinking of you. xxx Still no AF?

quackers · 20/11/2003 15:31

Hi BB, yes it's the 6 days before thay matter. Have a quick look at the handbook if you get chance - I know it's long! Wish you tons of luck though, I really hope you get lucky really soon.
I'm fine thanks, bit nervous some days and others ok. So fingers crossed. Hope you'll be joining me soon!
CD - get well soon!

CountessDracula · 20/11/2003 15:11

Thanks podmog, I do have a nanny so will be able to rest loads in the week (but she is off sick today!) What do you think about ttc?

Bugger have Glandular Fever, does this mean I should put ttc off until better?

BigBird · 20/11/2003 14:34

Hi Quacks ! No - just logging them in a book but they have been pretty text book up till now. I just read that they can be erratic during af anyway and it's the 6 days before ov that really matter. I'd say they will sort themselves out...

How are you feeling ?? Really well I hope!

I am past the usual dissapointment stage and have planned lots of drinking nights out for the next few weeks to keep me occupied !!

quackers · 20/11/2003 13:03

Hi BB, mine were always erratic pre ov. It's just sustauned temps that are imp. Have you tried using fertility friend and logging temps etc??
