I have one child who is 11, and who longs for a sibling. I am 32 years old & I have been trying to conceive since December 2013. I am ovulating thankfully, but seem to ovulate on CD18. My issue is that at 9dpo I start spotting and 10 dpo AF starts. I am on TTC#7 now, and I find the 2WW very difficult every month. I try to be positive and hope for the best, but on the other hand I try not get my hopes up too much, as it is so upsetting when AF arrives. I have had CD3 and 7 dpo tests done to check hormone levels...all of these have come back normal...My temps are really good too, so I just can't understand what is going on with my body. I also have been going to accupunture for the last 3 months. I am on CD1 today so hopefully this is the month I will conceive. Fingers crossed.Would anyone like to join me as I begin Cycle 7 TTC? x

CD1-36.9oC (TTC#7)(LP 10 days)

I had a morning from Hell ! I was driving to work & a car hit me! I got some wallop! My car is destroyed on the left side by the tyre...I am still in shock! A big Nissan Navara cut onto the road I was driving on, on the wrong side & hit me! I went to the doc to get checked...sore, in shock, low blood pressure & a racing heart...I got a bad bowel pain in there whilst I was waiting & low & behold AF as well! The impact hurted, and really yanked on my tummy! I am very much out of it still ! I am actually quiet sore now.

Was outside all day today and have got really bad sunburn on my neck and pretty sure I've got sunstroke too, feel so poo! Hormonal and tired added to it! Not a good Tuesday! Going to have comfort food tonight to try to cheer me up! Xxx

Well that was an epic fail! Bike 18 * xxx

ELA88 · 17/06/2014 07:18

Latest development: AF is most definitely here now! Blah!!!! Roll on [cycle] 18! Fx ladies, especially if you're going to poas! Xxx

ELA88 · 17/06/2014 06:56

Had really disturbed sleep last night and temp was 36.45 this morn, so don't know if it's because if that. Am pretty sure AF is on it's way as it was more browny this morn when I wiped :-( not in a good mood to be dealing with AF today!! Xxx

1moretime · 16/06/2014 21:53

Thanks for the link...will use this in future hun. Thanks so much. Ahhh so after ydays temp spike todays would have had to stay up today to be a triphastic chart really Confused
I didnt get a preg test hun...so it will be tomorrow evening now.
Not sure what prog levels were hun...just was told they were low. To be honest though i dont think they were taken at the right time??
As my periods are so irreg...my consultant took it on day 21...but as you can see i didnt ov to day28 this cycle. Not really sure how it works though tbh.

Fx for you both ...aww wouldnt it be fab if we all got bfp this month Grin
You are sensible [Ela waiting untill af is late..i should really but if my temps are still up tomorrow i will be tempted!!

ELA88 · 16/06/2014 21:44

Oh laurano! That website is so good! I didn't temp twice this cycle because of oversleeping! Although I'm not sure if it will take into account really broken sleep too!
Fx ladies :-) I'm not going to poas until at least AF is a couple of days late so I don't get my hopes up too much! AF is usually pretty regular so if she's not arrived by Friday then that will count as late! Xxx

1moretime use this in future if you over sleep Smile

From my understanding the Triphastic pattern is when the temps go to a new 3rd higher level & stay up...that's only a slght dip 1moretime so I wouldn't worry! Fx your temps stay up tomorrow & you get a BFP! I will log in before work to check! Oh I am so excited for you xx

What were your Prog. levels before? I had mine done 7DPO & they were 44.3 & then I got them done last month at 10DPO to prove I had a problem with my luteal phase & prog was only 13.8! So it had dropped too soon! That's why I am so happy that I am 12DPO today & no AF! Grin! Progress, if nothing else!

My highest temp is 97.34 and has dropped slightly to 96.86 today.
Still higher than post ov 95.90 temps & way above coverline xx

1moretime · 16/06/2014 21:17

Hey hun. Yea todays is on, i should have said i was too late at taking my temp at 11dpo...fell back to sleep & was 3 hrs later when i woke up. Lol.
So i am 1 temp missing. Does it matter that todays is slightly lower than todays tho?

Yes i read the link about triphastic pattern, do you think mine is tri??
Oooh you only a day behind me hun.
I must admit i feel crampy & keep thinking im gona start!!
Haha old hag she is!!!
Ela your temps are great...higher than mine hun.
I must admit i feel a bit worried reg progesterone as i had bloods done back in sept & my prog levels were low and showing i wasnt ov...i have since up'd my dose of metformin & luckily & hopefully i have ov :-)

Ok just checked...CD1 which was also 10DPO light flow...36.9°c..then CD2 temp dropped to 36.8°c, and on CD3 when the flow intensified it went down to 36.6°c & continued to drop during menses..my accupunturist said that it is a drop in temps that indicate a drop in Progesterone, which then tells the lining of the womb to shed...he reckons I have a luteal phase defect, & I bleed normally too early...I was watching out for what happened this month to be honest to see if the same thing happened or if it was a once off...TTC is mindboggling at times! xx

They look really good Ela high temps are associated with progesterone! So the fact they are high is brill! 36.75 seems to be the highest temp you had, so that is really good! Why don't you try a FRER tomorrow, if AF doesn't arrive & your temps stay up! Let me just check my chart from last month & I will let you know xx

OP posts:
ELA88 · 16/06/2014 20:20

My temps have been...
Today: 36.75
Sat: 36.54
Fri: 36.58
Thurs: 36.74

Should the temp drop again once AF starts or before? Xxx

Hey 1moretime I can see your chart & yes! It certainly looks like you ovulated! Yahoo x Don't worry about the dip! Did you read the link about the triphastic pattern...I don't think your temps for today are on the chart..Once they stay up! & AF stays away! That's all that matters! Grin
I am 12DPO today...I keep thinking AF is going to come, but when I check with the last few hours! Nothing! Oh limbo land aint fun! But it is better than good old Aunt FLO! The old Hag!! Smile xx

Hi Ela don't panic yet! I had a red blob on Friday, and then nothing til I had a bit of spotting last night...slightly this morning, and since I posted here earlier...absolutely nothing! So I have had way more than you! Implantation can cause spotting...My temps have stayed up..what about yours? It would be wonderful if you were pregnant for the wedding! Oh hang in there & don't let go of your dream just yet!

1moretime how are you today! 13DPO! Oh you must be excited...have your temps stayed up?

1moretime · 16/06/2014 19:01

That would be wonderful if you were preg hun in time for the wedding.
