Claptrap yes it's set up to automatically find ovulation but by cd16 I should have ovulated with my shorter cycles. Cd7 seems really early but anything after today is really late for me.

I'm temping vaginally too (except during af which explains some of the temp fluctuations then) so it is about as accurate as it can be. My temperatures have been a bit irratic but I think thats just me. I know it's a sign of pcos but I have no other symptoms so I'm not worried about that.

Does cd11 look like a possible? There isn't a 3 day shift since then but it's the only significant dip around the right time.

I'll wake up tmrw to a huge dip now won't I!

ToffeeAppleMarsBar · 02/09/2015 17:32

Holy moly, the more I look at temping information, I more I feel completely bewildered. Part of me thinks the numerical, logical side of me would really love it and be fascinated by the data and the other half of me thinks there's far too much to 'read into' and I don't need anymore excuses to be jumping to conclusions.

As they say KlapTrap, it ain't over untl AF makes her appearance so I'll still be keeping my fx for you!

I am already driving myself insane. I don't think DH and I DTD enough or on the right days to even have a chance of being pregnant this month but I've been driving myself crazy all day. I've gone from being fairly laid back this morning, to majorly wishing the next week or so to FLY by so I can find out one way or the other.

Oooh, this isn't fun. We made a conscious decision not to tell anyone we were TTC but feel like I just want to talk about it!

Klaptrap · 02/09/2015 17:15

KittyandTeal - I'm not an expert by any means, but your temperatures do seem consistently higher from CD7, but that would be rather early for ovulation (I would guess!). Your chart looks quite erratic though (although I can't work in Fahrenheit at all so that could be quite normal in terms of variation). Do you have Fertility Friend set up to automatically calculate your ovulation day from your temperature data?

I had an odd temp cycle this month so it took a good few days after ovulation before the app actually marked my ovulation day (and I'm still not 100% convinced it's right TBH).

Sorry - not much help, I am sure someone with more experience will be along soon.

Klaptrap · 02/09/2015 17:09

Congratulations to all the BFPs (faint or otherwise!). Star Flowers Cake

I tested yesterday afternoon with an IC test and it was a negative.
I tested because my temp chart is triphasic and I got over-excited (I know testing in the afternoon is not the best idea). I've now had five days in a row of very consistent triphasic temperatures. Shock

My period is due today based on my calculated ovulation day, but my temp was still sky high this morning and no sign of her the witch yet... BUT I suspect my ovulation date might be a bit squiffy this month as my signs were very mixed and my temperature pattern was quite odd (compared to my previous months charting).

So I am not counting myself out yet, but I am waiting nervously to start spotting. As my cycles are irregular I may have to wait until CD35+ before I can definitely say AF is late (currently on CD28).

KittyandTeal · 02/09/2015 11:03

Hi all. Is anyone an expert on temping?

I'm having a bit of a struggle interpreting mine. I've not done any opks this month so just temping. I should have oved by now as I'm day 16. I've not seen a 3 day temp rise yet though!

Just caught up after a weekend at the PILs'. Congratulations Emily and Odog!

AF tailed off yesterday here, so all ready for another month TTC Smile

ToffeeAppleMarsBar · 02/09/2015 10:12

Big hugs Emu - and hope your big day at work goes well as well. God, this is such a crazy roller-coaster, isn't it?

Sorry to have been absent for a while - had my own crazy busy week at work last week and there's nothing really to report. I started using OPKs last week but I don't really think I started using them early enough in my cycle (as they didn't arrive for AGES!), and didn't ever really get a positive so don't really know what to make of that or what that means. It's only Cycle 1 for me so I'm just going to see what happens.

To be honest, as it stands, if I wasn't to get preggers, my period is due whilst DH and I go on our belated honeymoon in October so I'm kind of hoping that all this thinking about my cycle will mess it up anyway (I know, slightly counter-productive!) so that if we don't get pregnant, my period might move around so it's not making an appearance in Morocco!

There's logic in there somewhere...

BIG Congrats to odog and Emily! Fingers crossed for smooth, happy, wonderful pregnancies. :)

Emu123 · 02/09/2015 09:16

Knew if I started to think about testing AF would show..... Just checked and think I'm spotting. Also always manages to coincide with an important day at work.

Thisisbonkers · 02/09/2015 08:48

CD19, strong negative on the cheapy opk last night but much weaker this morning Angry don't geddit. Will try again this evening. That said me and him indoors are being somewhat grumbly towards one another (ok, I'm being grumbly - tiredness and stress from work are what I'm blaming) so that kinda puts a dampener on things.

Emu123 · 02/09/2015 07:22

Gah, not really sure when I o'd as haven't temped this month. I got a positive opk on cd13 and pain on cd 14 but then ewcm all the way to cd 17. If i o'd on cd 14/15 AF is late..... Had cramps on Monday and was in a foul mood (poor oh) as thought I'd wake up to my period but still no sign. Do u think it would be odd to o as late as cd 17 if I had my positive on cd 13?!? As you can probably tell, I'm too scared to test!!!!

ODog · 02/09/2015 06:49

Thanks ladies.

Emzlou15 · 01/09/2015 23:27

Congrats Odog, hope everything goes smoothly :D

Still waiting for AF had 'tender' nipples for a week now but still getting creamy CM. I'm CD 34 or 39 depending if you start from my Withdrawl bleed from coming off the pill. Got a BFN at CD 32/37 so I don't think I've been lucky and conceived the first month I think my body is playing around on me still holding onto hope though..

3Princes99 · 01/09/2015 22:17

Sorry to hear af got you Banana!

Happy for you Odog :)

Just a quick update while I have 3G. Af due today cd27 (never ever been over that) didn't get a proper positive opk so no idea what oday I am but I normally spot for a day or 2 before af and I've had nothing! Bfn tho this morning and I do have cramps so we'll just wait and see what happens. I'll will update when I can.

FuzzyOwl · 01/09/2015 19:19

Congratulations ODog.

Happy Birthday Banana and I suspect I might technically be testing in October as well so we can loiter at the back of the bus together. Smile

pulpi · 01/09/2015 18:32

Congrats odog!!!

Emu123 · 01/09/2015 13:26

Great news odog!!!

Fingers crossed this is a lucky bus

ChatEnOeuf · 01/09/2015 13:24

Great news ODog!

Sorry Banana, do stick around.

star1980 · 01/09/2015 12:55

Big congratulations ODog!

KittyandTeal · 01/09/2015 12:55

Awesome news ODog. Good luck with the pregnancy

Banana79 · 01/09/2015 11:18

I'll be around the 4th too Weechops. I agree we should hang out here for a bit first!

Banana79 · 01/09/2015 11:16

Congratulations ODog!

Can anyone recommend any cheapy OPKs that you can pee on rather than dip!?

weechops · 01/09/2015 11:07

banana I think my actual test date will be around 4th October ( since next af is due around 8th September) so if you want to start an October bus, I'll happily jump on board. Think we should stay here for a bit though too Grin

So sorry the witch got you.
