Hop aboard the Santa sleigh for a festive baby (late Dec /early Jan)

Hey all- missed loads, going to pour a glass of vino and catch up now.

DH arrives back tomorrow night and will be pounced upon ASAP. Not holding out much hope for this month though as he is working away a lot.

Ooops, scratch that - I am meant to be working in my PMA. Of course immaculate conception is possible

Had the tiniest bit of spotting today at 6dpo. Which I tend to get every month, so at least that has confirmed to me that I have ov'd if nothing else.
Also, if I am 6 dpo then at least this will be a short cycle.

Higher temps today, but then I realised that I had been sleeping with my mouth open.
Might fanjo temp next month.

i'm either 6 or 7 DPO . Had a temp dip yesterday and back up today, maybe the elusive implantation dip? scoff all you like , i googled and implantation at 5 DPO not unheard of- and it may have been 6 DPO anyway.

Pipbin - I think it's only not sure because it needs 6 pre-ov temps to compare to, and you don't have enough. But I'm fairly sure it must have been CD17 - esp. as your EWCM dried up.

Now on 7DPO - just beginning to wonder...... Got a long weekend to get through before I feel ready to poas. fortunately it's a busy one, so that should take my mind off things.

ooh pour me a [champagne] Wiggy! Although 10.20 in the morning is a bit early, I might have to save it until later.

Flighty- here's ice&a slice to go with your gin : )

Homeaway- that's pants! If you have to do it before you move around&also at the same time,I'd have to set my alarm for about 6 (as I do during the week normally)&temp at that time on a weekend.is that what most people do?I'm not impressed with that idea at all.hopefully opk will work for my so I can ditch temping if that's the case. I'll keep at it for the moment as 36.4 seems to be my standard and 36.6 when have af.

Welcome aboard eqimum! Would your dates mean you would like a crimbo sherry on the flight or would you rather some champers for a new year date?x

Evening all. I've been mostly offline the last couple of days so am a bit behind and need to read through to catch up.

Hello Equimum welcome!

Pipbin I can't see your charts from this computer as it has some glitch so I'll take a look tomorrow to see, but I think you're right that your travel has thrown your temping off balance this month.

Right I'll be on CD 8 tomorrow so shag week is about to start! On that basis I am officially trying for a January Sales baby (due date would be 16th Jan).

I really don't know. I had stacks of ewcm, which dried up on cd17.
Also, I had been to the USA in the first half of my cycle and I'm sure that's what is throwing it off.
I put the ov line in there.

Pip, I have you pegged at 2 days before they do my friend.

I could be am probably wrong.

Welcome Equimum yes very happy to have you!

Tictac, could not have been more grateful for your you darling. Am not in bed yet and should be, so will say goodnight for now and here's to some decent temps in the morning, everyone x

And again: my chart

I'm clearly updiffed as I keep doing such daft stuff.

I'll try that again.
I've overlaid my charts so you can compare with previous months.

Wiggy, you have to take your temp at the same time every day, normally it will go up the later you sleep.

Heaven alone knows what is happening fertility friend really isn't convinced I've OV.
What do you think? [[http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/pipbin my chart]

Am I too late to join?

I'm a newbie to MN. On third cycle of trying for DC#1. AF due 22nd April. Am really hopeful this month as had lots of cramping, feelingness and nausea most of this week, so have fingers well and truely crossed.

Just lurking here at all you still-to-poasers

I have got up this morning to an email from my Mum. She thinks I am pregnant (among other things, which include being held hostage)

This is because I haven't spoken to her in depth about my relationship for about, erm, ten days.

I think I need that gin Wiggy.

I wasn't going to test until af was actually late this month but I'm due 12th which happens to be weekend of one of my best friends hen parties.I'm going to test on lunch time of 12 (as af norm arrived with first wee of the day) & if it's pisitive great & if it's negative I can consoule myself with a gin (or 6).

Oooh, crazy that is spooky! When I was PG we hadn't told my family yet because we were going to see them for Thanksgiving and a few days before my mom sent me an email saying "Nan thinks you're pregnant" My nan is totally a witch! But I actually knew I was pregnant at that time. Also, with DS I tested at 10dpo and had a BFN and then positive at 12dpo. Fx!!!!

Last thats exactly what I do!

Treats I'm thinking it was cd17 as well too. I missed so many temps because I was on holiday. However there was lots of ewcm and that vanished on day 17. And cd17 would put me at 5 dpo too!

Treats - I don't actually take my temp in the middle of the night on purpose. The clock is on DH's side, so I never know what time it is, but I keep waking early and thinking it's time, it's time! I'm a bit of an eager temper

Thanks for all the congratulations!

Treats - my best (male) friend has already told me I will have to call it Jesus (with Spanish pronunciation I'd it's born on Xmas Day)... Hmmm

Sorry for shortness of post but just wanted to pop in and say thanks. Am on hols for the next week so won't be around but keeping fingers crossed for many more BFPs here soon!!

ooh blackcats - we'll be poas buddies. I'm 5DPO too.

You're right - I should ignore that bit! And, as you say, you can't control it anyway, so what's the point of worrying about it.

LBOT - I don't take my temp if I wake in the middle of the night - I wait until 6.30 or so - my normal waking time. But I'm sure that's not quite right. I've had some 96.8s this cycle, but I don't think it's abnormally low......

asianbabe - sorry for your BFN. Hope AF stays away.

Interesting bit of research blackcat but, I'm with you, too many factors to consider. May as well just DTD and fingers crossed!

I've considered myself an experienced temper...but three days in with my new thermometer and I just can't get the hang of it! Taking at all sorts of times, waking in the middle of the night and taking temp, not reading properly, etc...my temps look super wacky. Treats Farenheit temper here too and mine are really low - 96.8 the first two days! But not sure what time I took it exaclty, might've been between 5 and 6 am! I remember feverishly googling low temps when TTC#1 to find out what ELSE might be wrong with my body Hoping it's all fine now...

How is everyone doing?
