Newbies very welcome provided they meet the entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, must have a special pot, NO instadiffers) and bring a bouquet of sausages when they join!

Merk im very sorry about your shitty evening. On reading through this fab thread have now downloaded FF and put in my witch dates, also received free opks with the preeseed ordered from amazon but unsure about temping at the moment.

Unmmm gravy, ill take a seat here then.

Bunny - pud would probably be easier to type but I answer to pretty much most things Wink

I'd also guess chemical pregnancy. If you Google chemical pregnancy increased fertility you get lots of hits.

Is Mr Merk being supportive?

Sausage slapping needed to prevent me convincing myself wondering if this is implantation bleeding 5 days after the first BFP

btw, sid, cousin's wife sounds even more bonkers that I had thought with the weight-loss shakes. Does she not care that it's not healthy, or is her figure more important?

ILoveMyCats · 19/03/2013 20:44

merk, from what I've read, it does sound like a chemical. As mother says, the stats suggest you'll be more fertile this cycle and you know that you can conceive too.

MotherOfCleo · 19/03/2013 20:42

oh merk I am so so sorry, I was so sure you were diffed. I would guess that it was a chemical, the silver lining is that you will be more fertile this month, everything crossed for you! Thanks Thanks Thanks

the man from del monte! blast from the past!

Hello yorks/yorkie/pud

Poor poor you merk. I'm so sorry to hear that - you must be gutted.

No news here apart from there is still an absence of O so shag weekfest continues. CD14 & the OPK says No. It's like the opposite to the man from Del Monte.

Oh & thunder I knew what you meant!

Bunnygirlie · 19/03/2013 20:37

Lol thunder I knew what you meant!

Reading the daily fail site and it's really rather depressing, the whole world is fertile as &@*^...... Gisele with small baby, the duchess pg, Lara stone pg, Kim whatsherface pg, mrs Rooney pg, blah blah blah Sad

happy are you saying that previously your temps stayed flattish at this point in your cycle but now are jumping around? Erratic temps during and just after AF are normal so I wouldn't worry but its interesting if you've never had this before...

That was for the Yorkshire pudding btw, not the cake and chocolate. Realise I look weird now, like I have gravy on my cake instead of custard

Bunnygirlie · 19/03/2013 20:25

Welcome to the gang yorkie or would you prefer pud

Tell us a bit about you, if you have been lurking you prob know all about us!

happylass · 19/03/2013 20:25

Oh Merk I'm absolutely gutted for you. Not getting a BFP in the first place is bad enough but to get one then have it cruelly snatched away must be devastating. Hope you're having more than the one beer.
Here's a mystery for you to ponder : why the hell has my temp gone up by 0.5 on cd2? My charts have always been textbook but since I started using FF last cycle they've gone mental!!
Welcome Yorkshire anyone with cake and chocolate instantly qualifies even if they are an instadiffer

Yorkshire are you simply hopefully shagging or monitoring your cycles yet?

I'm doing a barking and trying to think of a scenario where I could still be pregnant....
Is the consensus that this was a chemical (in which case the silver lining is that I have proof fertilisation can happen and I wasn't born without any tubes or anything) or just crappy false positives (surely too many for that??) Did all my crying last night so am in the stoical stage of planning shag week and everything I can do to make sure this month is the one

Welcome in Yorkshire, and reference to Northerners or Yorkshire pud means you automatically qualify for entry in my eyes!!

Knock knock (peers round the door nervously) I have cake, chocolate and dressed in my comfy onesi, room for a little one ????

I have to admit to a bit if lurking and would love to join this lovely group.

Urm so about me!!!

YorkshirePud 34, TTC1, cycle 5

had a dermoid cyst removed (along with most of one overy) so a little delay at starting TTC but slowly getting my head around all the technical terms!

barkingtreefrog · 19/03/2013 20:12

tally your chart looks normal, round and after AF your temps are expected to be higher an erratic. They will level off towards O, and yes the pattern will become clear post O once you get some crosshairs. The more you are strict about the time you take your temp the more accurate the chart will be
