No Tock I don't. Am interested to know what it's all about!

It is weird Keep I don't think my temperature has ever been so low in the morning!

keepitgoing · 02/05/2012 18:22

Sorry maybe no clue on temps, bit surprising to have them so similar though!

clickingtock · 02/05/2012 18:12

Hmm Maybe - not sure what to say. Do you have a copy of Toni Weschler's book - maybe there's something to be gleaned from TCOYF..?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 02/05/2012 17:53

Thanks Tock it is isn't it! Especially as my morning temps are so low compared to normal x

clickingtock · 02/05/2012 17:48

Maybe - how perplexing! Your chart looks totally weird. Hope you get some answers about it. Maybe just a weird cycle? Wish I could help... xxx

NoMaybeAboutIt · 02/05/2012 17:47

Wow Boo that's amazing! How long have you been trying this time (you have probably said already Grin )

So. The great temperature experiment. Took my temp, it was 99.78 Shock no broken thermometer for me, back to the drawing board!

cartoonface · 02/05/2012 16:34

4 months is fairly quick isnt it? any tips :-)

Steth · 02/05/2012 16:30

Awwh thanks, chuffed to bits - been trying for 4 months - this my my second DC. Just sent DH a pic of test to work as I couldn't wait til he got home. Fish n chips to celebrate tonight yah!

cartoonface · 02/05/2012 16:26

yup thats rite Grin steth! (hi!!!!) dunno why it doesnt just say 4-5wks in the window cos thats wot the doc would say x

jenfraggle · 02/05/2012 16:22

Yay Steth!

Steth · 02/05/2012 16:20

I just got a BFP!!!! wooohooooooo said 2-3 weeks on clearblue, that means I'm 4-5weeks??

Stacks · 02/05/2012 16:14

Biscuits I don't think I get much of a choice re waiting for scan. I've got my 12 week one booked on 30th. I would have liked a private scan, but DH was against it, and thinking about it more I agreed. I'll have an extra £100 guilt free money to spend on something for the baby then :)

I never managed to pee on any opks. I bought loads of internet cheapies, but always forgot to do it at the right time. Was also confused by the instructions saying the pee should be left for 20 mins to come to room temperature. I didn't want to leave a pot of pee sitting there for that long! Someone on here pointed out it was probably for labs that used pee stored in a fridge.

Does anyone want some OPKs and PG tests? I'm on a positive thinking drive so will definately not need them. I've got quite a few IC of both, as well as some Boots and maybe Superdrug PG tests..

Calamityboo · 02/05/2012 16:14

Shock steth that is brilliant!! Grin

Calamityboo · 02/05/2012 16:13

Yes keep twas a real shocker last time, we were having all the tests done, I had had the blood tests and HSG, DH had done his first man test, and they found during a routine smear that I had changed cells, so we were told that I needed to have them removed which would mean we would have to wait a further 6 months before we could start tying again. We were told this in November and the appointment for the Loop(?) procedure was booked for January, so of course we were really worried about what the changes cells meant for us and decided to get on with Xmas, then hey ho, preggers before they could remove the cells :) One nurse actually suggested I attend the appointment anyway Shock What confuses me is that the cells went, gone, poof, no more changed cells for me and normal smears since Hmm

Steth · 02/05/2012 16:12

I just got a BFP!!!! wooohooooooo said 2-3 weeks on clearblue, that means I'm 4-5weeks??

keepitgoing · 02/05/2012 16:09

Oops sorry it wasn't face but boo. Stupid phone

keepitgoing · 02/05/2012 16:04

Yes, I keep the sticks in a row, face till they go light again and I know I've surged. If you sometimes have such long cycles it might take you a while, but I find them helpful, can't find cm and temping stressed me out as was always waking up thinking is it time...

Still, they don't work for everyone and in the meantime just swi every other day. There is no magic other than plenty of swi!
Did you get your last bfp unexpectedly?

Calamityboo · 02/05/2012 15:59

Thanks keep I have a light pink line now, but is says on the pack that is still a fail, they say I need to have the line the same colour or darker than the control line, will keep doing it daily for now, I suppose the better I get to know my cycle I will be able to target the OPK and SWI more precisely, and I can join the BFP's!

Biscuitsandtea · 02/05/2012 15:56

was just wondering where you'd got to the other day Smile

Hope all is well. Are you having an early scan or anything or holding on until 12 weeks?

Stacks · 02/05/2012 15:54

Afternoon everyone. I've caught up!! I had 18 pages of read back to go through. Really should have been doing work, but wanted to read the good news from Tock and Smegs first hand. I'm totally overjoyed for you both.

Welcome to all the newbies, as a little introduction I'm another long term TTCer who got a BFP after a HSG.

Biscuits I must have had my LMP the day before your DS2 was born, as my bean is the same age :)

cartoonface · 02/05/2012 15:52

oh and was it tock whos partner is suggest delaying their wedding because i think it a poor excuse i am getting married when i want and if it just so happens im about to pop then so be it hope i get preg before that would happen thou

keepitgoing · 02/05/2012 15:52

calamity do them daily till they star to get a small line, then twice a day. I've never used cbd, am a cheapskate! I don't always get a positive even then, but take the darkest one, then 16 days later af!

My dh hasn't had a bath in 8 months!! We never really drank much but lessened since 6 months, and vits since then. Not sure what else we can do...

I am going to conduct our own experiment though, his last sa we had swi 5 days before, so doesn't give a good pic of what he produces in shag week! So next time we will get him at the min, 48 hrs. My thoughts are maybe the weird mutants hang around linger, and the new fresh ones will be a higher quality, which would be opposite to tock*.... Will report back!

cartoonface · 02/05/2012 15:50

bloody hell thought i was being ignored and then loads of messages came up!! thanks everyone i shall be on youtube later having a listen (they block it at work grrr)
