Thanks Merkin. FF is guessing predicting O between 15-17th so that would be about right. Better kiss & make up with DP then!

Tally I've only started temping this month too but it's not dropped below 36.1. Did you get it in the right place under your tongue? There's heat pockets apparently you have to get it in. Mine seemed to go up the mornings I've felt a bit rubbish with my cold rather than down.

Barking I think i'd strop too if I were you. Let's hope the clinic sort out your short LP. You never know - I may find out from all my temping & PIMPing this month that I'm in the short LP phase club too.

CatsCantFlyFast · 15/03/2013 10:36

What did you dip barking an Internet cheapy?

CatsCantFlyFast · 15/03/2013 10:34

Sorry about the migrane. I normally have a couple of temps in the 35s and so so a hell of a lot of other charts I have seen. I believe you should only worry if you get more than 3 in a row down in the 35s each month (can indicate thyroid problems). My chart link here if it helps to have a look

barkingtreefrog · 15/03/2013 10:32

I'm having a bad day. PIMPed just for the hell of it. 2 days pre AF so did a pg test even though I'm only 6dpo. Trouble is, my AF comes along so quickly I never usually get the chance to PIMP until I'm late, when at only 8 or 9 dpo I still might get a bfn even if I was diffed!

BFN btw, obviously.

Tallyra · 15/03/2013 10:31

Well I took another temp this morning and was so surprised I took it again. below 36. is that normal? it might have something to do with the raging migraine I also woke up with, feeling physically sick. I gave up on breakfast and driving to work as dangerous. Seems better now after meds and more sleep so I'm going to risk driving. Why always on a day when the sky is so overcast it's bright white???

CatsCantFlyFast · 15/03/2013 09:54

frog my faint OPK lines are normally 5 days pre a positive. I know everyone is different but I use that as my indicator to start having sex

Frogcatcher · 15/03/2013 09:49

Commiserations Happy & Barking.

Still bowled over by Merkin's success Grin

OPK still neg here which is just as well as DP & I had a big row yesterday so DTD with Brad Pitt would have been more likely than with him. We've both still got stinking colds too. I did get a faint line though which is more than I got yesterday.

Bunny stats below:

Frogcatcher, 36, stepmother to 1, cycle 5, AF due anytime 30 March - 5 April

barkingtreefrog · 15/03/2013 09:22

I've decided I'm just coming down with something. Didn't sleep well last night, have had the sniffles all week (ie not a full blown cold) and feeling rubbish this morning. Fortunately I have the day off. Still in bed. Dog is not looking amused that he hasn't had his morning walk yet.

Very impressed with your science experiments merkin

bunny I'm not ignoring your stats request but given AF is imminent I'll hang on as otherwise I'll be out of date before the next thread starts!

CatsCantFlyFast · 15/03/2013 08:50

Scientific results, positive (faint but visible), obvious positive, & a squinter on the OPK!

Thunderbuns · 15/03/2013 08:35

Morning all. Just ducking in to say hi.

Looking forward to the experiment results, merk

Arse happy

Brew anyone?

CatsCantFlyFast · 15/03/2013 08:22

And for the purposes of gaining important information which you will add need very soon, this morning I have dipped a HPT, a double dye HPT and an OPK. If my line is stronger than yesterday I may also dip my FRER. This is like being at school doing science experiments!

Bunnygirlie · 15/03/2013 08:22

Bless him!

I can't wait till the day I can see DHs reaction, and my mums and dads and sisters and best mates...... Will this day ever come Confused

Let's get updated stats for those of us still here for the new thread that will soon be coming, don't need to bother doing a list, just chuck your stats on the end of your post and I will collate them!

Bunny 33, married, been a berry since thread 1, cycle 10, AF due 25th March

Shock, disbelief and over the moon. He's very nervous. I also think he keeps forgetting and then it keeps hitting him again!
How's the symptoms this morning? I'm really hoping your egg has been super speedy to beat your luteal phase cutoff!

CatsCantFlyFast · 15/03/2013 07:46

happy 8 was my lucky number so I hope it is for you too.

barkingtreefrog · 15/03/2013 07:38

merkin how did your dh take the news?

barkingtreefrog · 15/03/2013 07:29

Sorry to hear that happy, was hoping merkin's luck was going to be infectious!
8 is a good number Grin. I'll be on double 8, but now I know we've got an appointment the numbers aren't bothering me so much Smile.

happylass · 15/03/2013 07:23

PIMP this morning. BFN as expected. Can feel AF cramps starting to kick in. Cycle 7 has been a disaster. 8 however is my lucky number - bring on the next cycle!

barkingtreefrog · 14/03/2013 23:16

List was from before I knew Ov and my cycles can be anything from 24 to 37 days, but I generally start AF 8 days after Ov. So bfp/AF now due 17th March.

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 23:11

barking when is AF due? List says 21, you mentioned 3 days... I'm easily confused

barkingtreefrog · 14/03/2013 23:05

It's ok, no need to call for the men in white suits just yet, I am actually aware of how ridiculous I'm being. Three more days and I'll probably get AF and be back at cd1 again. I really don't want a Christmas baby given the choice not that I'd say no obviously and our fertility clinic appointment is the 17th April, the day after my next AF could potentially be due (going on average of cycles). That would therefore be a proper Sod's law bfp and if anything is going to happen without us getting some medical assistance I reckon it would be then!

Thunderbuns · 14/03/2013 22:54

barking me too- I have faint lines all the time on opks, they just get dark just around ov. And sometimes just whenever they feel like it, like on day 20 or whatever one cycle. I'm sticking with my cb digi opk now- much less confusing!

Pipbin · 14/03/2013 22:50

Barking, not wishing to piss on your chips but for an opk to count as a positive for bfp then it has to be as dark as the control line. I get a faint line on a opk from ov to AF. Sorry, might still be something.

But I am very impressed at your pimping

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 22:43

barking argh!! Don't know what to advise. I think it's a good sign (but even I wouldn't pimp for a HPT on 5dpo Wink)
