Pregoween is approaching! Time to grow our beans into Pumpkins - all aboard for spooky bfps!

Me too want.

What do you ladies recommend in terms of BBTs? And do you start temping from CD1

Cpt I didn't notice it extending my cycle. Could be perhaps it's just lengthens your lp? So your cycles are now more even - follicular phase/luteal phase?

Joey acupuncture is supposedly good for all things TTC. Improving ovulation, balancing hormones, improvin uterus lining etc etc. and obviously good for reducing stress levels

Here is said chart. Looks all professional and stuff! :p

Woo! Your temps look like mine Spinning.
I also have that full/bloated feeling. Felt quite nauseous too and my hips are sore. Spending a lot of time sitting down. symptoms! Probably just achey muscles.

I've never had acupuncture or reflexology, do any of you have experience with either of them helping when TTC and in what way?

Hi ladies,

What a bumper bus of BFPs this is!! Congratulations to you all, it's so nice to come for a catch up and see so many pregnant ladies on the bus.

I have a quick question to those of you who have accupuncture. I've now had 3 sessions. My 3rd appointment was booked for when AF was coming to the end but it's never bloody arrived. Those months of ttc and AF showing up early and now she decides to piss off. Did anyone else's cycles alter when they started accupuncture? Today is cd 30, I've not seen that for well over a year. There's no chance of a BFP so just AWOL AF.

Sending sticky-bean, positive vibes to you some.

Congratulations lordy
Love seeing the pregoween bfp's role in.

So, after thinking I was out due to confusion over ovulation and temp dips, I spent all of last night manically moving all my stats over to FF. I'll attach my chart, but the main point is I think I'm still in the game! ignoring the BFN i just had on an IC

Wanttobe, I would poas tomorrow

Blueberry, thanks, I just popped into docs to pick up referral letter and tried to change blood test but no luck. God I hate the receptionists! I'll phone tomorrow and see if I get to speak to someone else.
Fx the clomid is working for you.

Ohlordly, great stats, what a dtd-a-thon, you deserve a bfp after that effort. Big list of supplements as well.

Angela I think my thermometer beeps after a minute.

Wanttobe, fx for you next time you poas......but don't do it in Costa!

congrats ohlordy and tranquilly that is lovely news

cd20 here, am shattered today but lots going on so could be that, have mild cramps in abs and water cm, wondering if am late ovulating even though cbfm confirmed peak as cd16 and 17 so will dtd tonight jic.

feel we have put in the hard work this month so am certainly hoping for a bfp

One thermometer I had would beep at different times. It seemed to be based on how quickly it gauged my temperature. As soon as it stayed on one temp for longer than a few seconds it began to beep.

oh and it can take about a minute

Angela I also temp with the thermometer under my tongue, that should help the gagging.

angela I temp vaginally, sometimes it takes 30 secs, others it feels like a lot longer. I suppose it depends on your temp.

Yeah I think we've earned a rest boosk.
I'll be sure to tell dp his performance was heroic terrys. Glad ti hear 8-9 weeks is the norm. Hope you get your bfp soon.
Glad clomid looks to be working blueberry.
angela it feels like ahes until it beeps but in reality just about 1 minute. I place the tip under my tongue and it doesn't make me gag. Some people temp vaginally though, so that's an option.
Hugs want fx your bfp will be soon.

Question for you ladies that temp, I have a basal thermometer I bought from amazon and it says it's meant to beep when it's finished taking my temp, I can't get it to do that , I don't know if it's cause I take it out to early as it feel like I am
Going to gagg, how long roughly do you keep it in your mouth for?

Spinning day 21 bloods need to be 7 days before AF is due so work it out from ovulation I guess. A day either side doesnt matter (ive had mine after a weekend before).

Ohlordy Thats some dtd you did lol well done it worked!!

Broody ranting is always good sorry your having to wait

Mrse I understand why you dont want a scan yet and I cant believe how you were treated last time! We all just worry about you!!

Some Glad the digi has shown a result fx for you!

Lots of pokey pains in both signs of stomach today and dodgy tummy this morning hopefully its the clomid working!!

ohlordy my Dh thought he was some kind of studmuffin performing 3 days in a row - yours is quite the hero now!!

Yes, 8-9 weeks is normal for booking in, that's when they will take notes and bloods (IIRC) and book you in for your 12 week scan. I will never last that long though (if I can get my BFP one day!). I will be offered a routine scan early on anyway due to the ectopic but with both mine I had early scans around 7 weeks because I am impatient wanted to see a HB as soon as possible to get some reassurance. Think they cost around £80.

Thank you Terrys for the sensible advice.

Sorry you're in limbo foxtrot
