Any temping experts fancy having a look at my chart?

Hi

Thanks for taking the time to look. Would this suggest I ovulated? My opks say no as they only went about a third as dark as the control line. I definitely didn't miss it with the opks as I checked each time I went for a wee on the important dates. This is my 1st month charting and am struggling a little.

Ooo vapo look at your lovely stable temps post ovulation! And love the darkening line. Hope it all starts feeling real and more exciting soon and less scary! X

Af arrived yesterday in her full festive regalia so I'm out this month. My temp is all the way back down to 96.40 where it seems to lurk pre-ov so at least I have a good idea of my "normal" temps now I've charted once. I like ff as it gives great stats and the crosshairs etc for ovulation. The benefit of a short cycle is I can start accosting the dh early next week and be back in the game around the 10th!

rose great news your tubes and everything being clear! That must be a massive relief! I'm sure they will get the drugs to you in time. These Europeans seem to be quite on the ball and certainly these Czech clinics get such good reviews by EVERYONE I'm sure they will ensure they are with you in time.

Your NYE celebrations sound brilliant! Hope you have a lively time away! Thanks

Congratulations Vap I really hope this is it for you!

No, still no drugs for me. I'm out of the country with DH to celebrate NYE now until 4th January so I'll have to chase it when I get back. The pharmacy has said I can reorder and they will send them by priority post this time. I calculate that I will need them by mid-Jan so its going to be tight!

I had brown gunk on the eve of the HyCoSy and the following morning but not anywhere near as much as I expected. Maybe because my tubes were completely clear and there was only a little fluid found in my uterus, there wasn't much to be 'dislodged'?!

Here you go sunny

Blue is ic hpt
Green is ic opk

If it wasn't for the FRER I still wouldn't know. And I spotted that 1st very faint positive on 26th. Thank goodness! All of that drinking that I would have done over Xmas.

Morning!

Opk's don't mean anything this early in you know. I did a couple of opk's this cycle late on but before BFP and they were non existent lines. I have saved them so will take a pic later when the light is a bit better. I think they only go dark quite a lot later. I'll also dip one in today's fmu and show you what it does, but again later as I've come back to bed.

I've been where you are now with not knowing when you're going to ovulate and it's just exhausting. I'm sorry your cycles are not playing ball. Why don't they warn you if this when you have hormonal contraception? If they had said something I would have certainly stopped a lot lot sooner. They used to go mad with me if I was a day late for my next injection saying I could be pregnant and once they almost refused to give me my next one as I was a few days late, until I lied and said we hadn't dtd for 2 weeks as I had been away. It's a bloody joke! I know there are some people who get pregnant within days of it wearing off but there are so many people who don't! Luckily I warned a couple of friends at one of my friends wedding last summer. Neither are planning families immediately but both have come off hormonal contraception to prepare their bodies before they start trying. I wish someone had told me. I saw my one friends (from the wedding) a couple of days ago and they are waiting until her dh has found himself a more permanent and secure job before they start trying, but at least they won't have to wait for another year for any hormones to regulate.

Here is my chart and also new frer from this morning. It is certainly getting darker. Not getting excited and feel rather numb to it all. Just waiting to see what happens....

snow how are you?

rose have your drugs arrived yet? Did you have a load of brown horrible gunk come out a few days after your Hycosy?

pcr are you still sick?

Here my rocky chart! :( opks faded to very negative today so definitely not pregnant! Dug the old test out and the line is still really obvious, and pink, bloody evap! X

Sunnydays321 · 29/12/2015 20:44

Yeah cycles all up the shoot post pill so recon this was OV. Looking forward to seeing what the temps do. Have pcos bloods booked for next week. My temps have been SO rocky this month! Makes it hard to know what's going on. Only managed to did on the day of positive opk. Didn't do it for about 3 days before that and not dtd since. DH has been busy this week (and also a bit grumpy) and Iv been knackered! We dtd quite a lot around what I though was OV before so kinda fed up by the real OV! Haha. Will definitely be easier if cycles were normal!

Yeah I don't blame you, it's like peeing on a fiver each time!! That's what I have to keep reminding myself! That's why the cheapies so are hard to resist! Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Try not to worry about the cramping, it's really common and normal. Xx

Hi

I hope your cycle settles down a bit in future months, of course only if you don't get a BFP before then. So do you think you have only just ovulated over the last couple of days then? Did you manage to dtd? It's so difficult knowing when to dtd and trying to catch it.

I didn't test again today as only have 1 frer left before my Amazon shipment arrives and at £10.50 for 2 they aren't cheap. Wasn't going to test again until NYE but I think I will use it tomorrow. I'm having some cramping today which I don't like the idea of. I am having mega tiredness which was a massive sign of pregnancy 1st time around although it didn't affect me much 2nd time around. I'm not one to snooze in the middle of the day but had an hour's sleep in front of the tv today and also half an hour in the car which I'm taking as a good sign. Will post a new frer pic tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed its darker....

Sunnydays321 · 29/12/2015 19:04

Hi vapo. Did you test again today? How's the line looking?

My temp went up again today. Another BFN! Would have been 14 dpo going by FF original estimation (until I had positive opk and it took my cross hairs away!). My luteal phase was only 10 days last month so if I had OVd then I would have had a Bfp or period by now. lots of pelvic pain. Think I probably OVd 3 days ago but FF hasn't confirmed it yet. If I haven't OVd I'd be a bit worried by this pelvic pain, it's been really sharp and taking my breath away a bit. :(

Hi
snow, your chart is loads easier to read on ff. If you're spotting it probably is af on her way of that is normal for you. However until your temp drops yours still in with a chance. Stay with us, I like looking at other peoples charts Smile.

So, I've done a test with fmu just now and see picture attached. There is definitely a line. So, I'm pregnant again! 3rd time lucky perhaps???

I didn't test this morning but if the witch stays away I'll test again tomorrow. Definitely feel like cr*p so I'm ill either way 😝 It's just annoying I can't get a bfp despite a good chart and some promising symptoms.

Sunnydays321 · 28/12/2015 13:26

Snow dog, I still think your chart looks really positive! Your temp hasn't dipped below cover line, I would say it is still quite high! Especially if the spotting hasn't turned into AF! Xx

Snowdog37 · 28/12/2015 12:00

Here's my fertility friend chart. I think I transcribed everything over ok. There's been no more spotting but I definitely feel af on her way.

Snowdog37 · 28/12/2015 10:53

I started spotting a little late last night and today af is due and my temp went down again so I might be out this cycle... I'll definitely sign up with fertility friend though, it seems like that is the gold standard app wise to figuring all this out! Thanks 😊

Sunnydays321 · 28/12/2015 10:32

Noooooo vapo! Can't believe he knocked your wee over! What a doofus! Maybe try holding wee in for four +hours, or I know it's annoying but maybe it's a sign to wait until tomorrow, it will give you a better line and I keep reminding myself ... It won't actually change the outcome, I'm either pregnant of not!

Yeah my temps are still up, so not sure what FF will do with that. But think it was OV, my cycles have been long since coming off pill, this will still actually make this cycle shorter than the last! Opks fading. Not cross cos we dtd on day of peak opk and not again, just cos we've been busy and with the "Evap" I didn't think it was as important! Grrrr. Xx

Argh!
Dp just tipped over my pot of wee. I can't believe it, I needed that today more than ever! I'm so upset. I wonder if I can squeeze any more out. I had dehydrated myself so much for that pot of wee. What a nob head.

sorry for the bfn sunny it seems strange that such a strong line could be an evap. Hopefully it was ovulation, although that will be a super long cycle will it? I think FRER are only sold in boots, I buy mine on Amazon as they are about half the price but you need to make sure you have better will power than me to save one for 10dpo. I know I get positives no matter what on 10dpo so should always keep one but have now run out. Going to pop to boots a little later on and buy some whilst I wait for my next Amazon delivery to arrive. I have saved my fmu in the bathroom (really strong fmu today, I ensured I didn't drink much last night so today's test will be the decider for me I think). If it's a positive then it should be clearly visible by now as should be 9dpo I think. I know my chart is a bit messed up at the important part of the month but I am guessing ovulation day was the very high temp cd18 (even though I was in a boiling hotel room where you couldn't open the windows) and I think implantation was the next low temp cd19 (even though I was in a really cold hotel room). I had an implantation dip with my last bfp so I'm assuming probably wrongly. The fact that my temps are higher now than they were at the beginning half of the month suggest ovulation so I'm just kind of crossing my fingers.

Welcome snow, as sunny says put your temps into ff and it will draw the lines for you, it's much easier to read. Looking forward to seeing your ff chart, much easier to read.

Vapo they didn't have any FRERs so had to get a tesco one. 100% negative! And opk a bit lighter this morning so I'm assuming it was OV or random LH surge, will have to wait and see what temps do. Will teach me not to look at old tests! Xx

Sunnydays321 · 28/12/2015 05:59

Sorry Pop not PPP!!

Sunnydays321 · 28/12/2015 05:58

Ps I think fertility friend is easier to interpret. It's free, maybe try down loading it and PPP your temps into that and see what it says x
