not sure whether I've ov'ed tbh, if I have a 28 day cycle af will be due next friday - the day I go on holiday!

I've given up on the september thread. I know that sounds a bit mean, but there are so many new people on there that have joined and formed their own friendships, that I feel there's almost no place for those of us who have been on those threads since day1. I'm sure they're nice people and all that but ..

coggy · 30/08/2006 09:19

Oh Trace.....I need one more temp question answered please.....(you are the temp guru!!!)

You said to Andi that your temp goes up again if you are pg.......how many days after ov could you see a rise?

coggy · 30/08/2006 09:16

What a bummer that the 'pills' are doing that to your DH wannaBe....sometimes it seems everything is going against us in our pg quest doesn't it??!!!

I'm CD19 today too...I forgot we were cycle buddies.
I've got SO confused with the Sept thread the past few days....can't keep up with it!

Do you know if you've ov this month wannaBe?
I had my jab last Weds. so, unless my lp has lengthened (I really hope it has) then AF is due on Fri....21 day cycle!!!!!
I hope that the hcg jab has confused my body enough to give me some extra valuable days!!!!!!

Trace....you round CD 17???
Have you ov'd this month?

wannaBe1974 · 30/08/2006 07:13

how is everyone?

cd19 today and not sure when or even if I've ovulated this month. Dh still not getting on too well with the fertility plus - seems to have had a permanent cold/head thing since started taking it. I've told him that he should stop, that it's obv not meant to be etc but he wants to take it at least until his next sperm test in October. I don't want him to put his health at risk for this, if it's not meant to happen then we have to live with that.

andi0411 · 29/08/2006 21:42

Thanks Trace that helps!!
Hayls- sorry you've had to come back but welcome. Look forward to chatting to you soon!!

Hayls · 29/08/2006 20:05

I'm stil around, don't know if anyone remembers me as I didn't post too much though. We kind of stopped trying as we had loads of other issues going on with dh's health (hopefully improving now tho). IN the meantime though it looks like my endometriosis has come back so we're thingking that we should start ttc quite soon so tha tif it takes ages we've still got time. I'm going to see the gynae on 16th Sep so will see what they recommend but we would like to start again in a few months.
Sorry you haven't all had bfps, I haven't really been keeping up although I did lurk for a while but had a bit of a break from MN. Hope all goes well for you and you get postive results!

yes yes and yes your right, but you can start on first day of af but its usally higher and then goes down after af, i temp from day 7 but then again ive done it for months, good luck

Hi ladies....

trace2 can I ask you a q re: ovulation- I've never done the temp thing- but if af comes in next few days I am going to- oh yes and have ord Weschler book-new version- from Amazon but delivery is not till Nov--aaarrggg.

Is this right:
Take temp from when af ends
3 day rise means ov has already happenend ie/ it's too late if you just rely on this- so cm should be observed and it is ewcm just b4 temp rise/ov?

If after ov temp rises again then poss pg- if it goes back to original number then af is due?

Sorry to ask so many questions...TIA

Natty1806 · 29/08/2006 11:31

Have made my appointment for next Tuesday with a different doc as mine is on hols. got a feeling AF might arrive soon ish anyway as i have a few cramps guess i will ust wait for temp to drop if not i see gp.

Angsthase · 29/08/2006 10:03

Don't know if I've been around long enough to count for this thread. Certainly feel like I know you all, but even though I've been TTC for 2years, only been on MN since March...

Natty1806 · 29/08/2006 09:19

The thing is i know the nurse is right but when i went to gp even though i have every faith in him i just didn't feel he understood what i was saying at the time and might say he will have to ring the clinic to double check.

Will ring up later and make the appointment for next Tuesday CD 42 and if she turns up in the mean time i can cancel it.

coggy · 29/08/2006 09:08

Natty - I am going back round to trusting the 'experts' again!!!

Totally trusted them before without question....then found infomation on here that made me question things.....then asked my questions and now trust them!!!!!

Ask a few questions so that you feel confident and they'll 'prove' they know their stuff!!!

Morning Ladies

Slighty off the current subject but would love your thoughts on this.

am on CD35 fertility nurse said if i go past 42 days to get doctor to give me the drug that will bring on a period so that i can start clomid, the thing is as this is a false period do you think i should see gp next week or just wait for AF to arrive?

thanks

am back just took ds to bed

coggy first few months i kept reading toni book ans checking and could not understand it, i used to check a few times befor ovulation, and then about 4 days after ovulation and could not work out why it it anit changed until one monthi checked on day after ovulation! and wow it had changed very low down, hope this helps but really its getting to know your own body and at the right time.

oh check in same postion every time it changes,

wannbe you still thinking of leaving us?

OP posts:
wannaBe1974 · 28/08/2006 20:22

hiya all

Coggy glad to see you back

I too am happy for those who get bfp's, but I do think that those that get them ve quickly take it for granted a bit almost. Was very happy when Peachy got her bfp and when you did too trace - and you will again

Have just spent the day cleaning my house so we can put it on the market ... yikes.

coggy · 28/08/2006 20:04

Thanks Trace - I knew that you worked out that you were pg by using temping.......

How do you do your cervix height (or is that a really thick question???!!!)

trace2 · 28/08/2006 19:49

trace2 · 28/08/2006 19:47

coggy yes its 3 days of a high to know you have ovulated as some times it can start then go back,
some get a dip befor a rise i dont and i dont get cervical fluid either so i do stick to and i find if i get a surge, twi days later i get a rise, and i only use cheap e-bay ones too.

and yes mt temp drops on af day, and if you get a second rise that can mean pg like mine did the other month also after 18 days of high is an other way to say your pg, also i new i was going to m/c as temp droped down to below cover line even though i was not bleeding, so just had to wait for m/c to start.

manuka thank you i will read up on this

OP posts:
coggy · 28/08/2006 19:37

I wanted your expert opinion on temp stuff trace - haven't done it for a few years (and didn't really know what I was doing then anyway!!!)

I know you get a rise after ov.
How many days in a row make a rise? (Does that make sense?)

And also....you have often said that you knew that AF was on her wretched way.....do your temps drop before she comes then......do they stay the same or go up if you are pg??!!

I just need the absolute basics!!!
Too dim to take anymore in!!!!!

manuka · 28/08/2006 19:34

Hello I really don't want to get in the way and stick my nose in etc or piss anyone off I just really care about how you all feel cos I was in your position, mc twice and not ovulating cos mad hormones and now I've had my dd I want to help other women who feel how I felt.
I just read some research about pesticides and how even small amounts can affect hormone systems so its something to bear in mind. In California women were miscarrying as a result of pesticides and experiments done on male frogs with very low dose pesticides turned them into hermaphrodytes.
Its worth reading up about so you can avoid consuming too much of it and rule it out as a possible cause to your current situation.
Once again sorry if I'm sticking my nose in and I wish you all the very best. x

aww yove all given me tears reading those few words and now i know am not alone((hugs to us all))) and hope we all or atleast a few or even one gets our long awaited bfp, and hope they stick.

coggy what do you wana ask me ??

OP posts:
coggy · 28/08/2006 19:16

I think what it is is that we build up a good relationship with each other after being on here for so long and that's why we are genuinely excitied for each other.

When people come and get their BFPs quickly....not only does it make us a little bit sad...but we don't really know tham well either.

That's what I think anyway!!
Wise words of Coggys (not!!)

In RL you don't have quite so many BFPs around you as on here....so it does magnify the fact that we are still waiting for ours.

andi0411 · 28/08/2006 19:06

Thanks Trace 2. if I had knwn about MN when I lost my first baby all that time ago I would be a veteran now!!

I feel genuine happiness for those that come on here and quickly get their bfp and move to other topics- but I feel sad for all of us other ladies who have been ttc for a while and have problems - in all honesty it gives me MORE hope when one of us gets our bfp because I know our trials and efforts are painful and confusing and often not going to be resolved within the first 6-12 months of ttc. Thanks for this.
