I thought I may as well start up the April bus since af rudely kicked me off the February bus, and my dh isn't here for March!

Been ttc #4 since September last year. Tricky as dh works abroad so much! I think I'm due to ov on the 3rd of April and dh is home on the 1st, so fx we catch it! I'll be testing round about 17th April.

Anyone else ready to hop on board to keep me company? I have a large bag of mini eggs to share Grin

Sorry, stupid question - obviously it means 3 phases but are there distinct steps between then? Do you have to be a certain temp over the cover for it to count?

I hope doggy is ok - poor thing!

underrugsswept · 03/04/2016 06:33

Mines gone crazy high this morning too, it looks like staircase Confused. I did polish off a bottle of Malbec last night with my sister. I wish I'd temped with DS so I had a comparison chart. What qualifies as a 'triphasic' chart?

Kellz92 · 03/04/2016 04:31

I didn't temp this month and I actually missed it! X

searchingchocolate · 03/04/2016 00:45

Here's my chart. Looking slightly better with this morning's temp in. giraffes your one from dd2 is giving me hope!

I hope Darwin is OK happy.

Back in the UK now. Here's my chart so far for my fellow addicts! My temp has gone weirdly high. I always got pretty distinctive tri-phasic charts in previous pregnancies, but I think my temps are too high to allow it.

Happy I've realised my May OV is when I'll be on holiday with my parents, that'll be awkward! Nothing more of a buzzkill than your parents next door...

happysunshineandrainbows · 02/04/2016 21:03

Ah feck!

I calculated when I'm OV-ing (thank you all for your help) and it's whilst we are at the in laws for Nana in laws funeral...that'll be awkward but I'm getting the BFP this month!

And now Darwin is being rushed to the vets by my hubby (he's my 9 month old black lab) after he's gashed himself behind his shoulder - today was a lovely day now it's gone completely downhill Shock

weechops · 02/04/2016 19:41

happy that made me laugh, my dh says the same he thinks #4 will be a girl, but that would even us up! We have girl,boy,boy 😄 No pets to tip the balance.

I'm stupidly excited for dh coming home tomorrow. cd14 today and still not ov woohoo! Maybe this will be the month!!

Sorry the witch got you gin fx for next cycle

Haha! Have to share, DH has just gone "I just know #3 is going to be a girl" in the stroppiest voice ever! Made me laugh! Poor bloke is pretty outnumbered, we'll just have to buy another boy dog. Wink :'-)

Sparrowlegs248 · 02/04/2016 18:31

Thanks trying those are the ones I've got. It's the pregnacares, seven seas etc that I have to avoid.

I have decided to go on a health kick. I'm still carrying far too much 'baby weight' about. I can't really call it baby weight though, I was back to pre pregnancy weight when ds was three weeks old. I've managed to put over a stone on since then! Breastfeeding is hungry work! It can't hurt can it?

underrugsswept · 02/04/2016 18:09

This is my chart...

Notta these ones don't have iron if that helps you at all? X

I'm temping and opking at the moment just to establish whether my cycle fits with what the apps predict really. This is my chart. There is quite a bit of variation but I think a step change that coincides with the day after I ov according to OPK and consistent with CM. Before af I had 36.4 consistently for a few days so that seems to be roughly normal for me post-ovulation, then drops to around 36.1 average before ov.

Oh, I am enjoying my coffee this morning so DH is teasing me about the coffee smell in the supermarket :o

Tabitha78 · 02/04/2016 12:16

Notta I've already been warned that I'll be called geriatric! Grin

I nearly vommed after running this morning. DP now convinced his super sperm have done the job. Pointed out that it's too early and more likely to be last night's curry fighting back! Not sure when i ovulated anyway. Got solid smiley on cd9 but no other signs, and given regular 27 day cycle I think cd13/14 would've been more likely.

I'm happy to wait and see what happens anyway Smile

BertieBotts · 02/04/2016 11:52

I think I will just order the 800 ones, can't do any harm.

No temping or charting here. Keeping casual for now. Plus on various attempts at charting I'm never awake enough to remember every day anyway so it's always a bit sporadic.

Kellz92 · 02/04/2016 10:25

Lots of messages to catch up on, DD is poorly so will do it later, hope you're all well xx

Sparrowlegs248 · 02/04/2016 09:57

I can't take conception or pregnancy vitamins, due to the iron content. Blush Still no af here. I hope my cycles don't take ages to regulate.

Is everyone temping/charting etc?

underrugsswept · 02/04/2016 09:24

Show us your chart. This is my first month temping so I find it fascinating.

DS has hugged me twice this week and said 'Baby in the tummy'. I hope he's right. We know a lot of pregnant women at the moment though so he probably thinks everyone has one in there!

searchingchocolate · 02/04/2016 07:36

Bertie folic acid recommendations vary from country to country (largely depending I think on whether bread is made with folic acid fortified flour) eg I'm in NZ and recommendation is 800mcg.

My chart is looking weird this month at 4dpo so not very hopeful, I'll see what it does next few days.

Huge congratulations baby

GinandJazzHands · 01/04/2016 21:28

Thanks very much for your kind words ladies! Full of gelato and vino here so very relaxed about it all now. At least the past two cycles have taught me how to ID when I have definitely ovulated, which is useful because both cycles I've had a few 'false' LH surges. Vitamins wise I'm taking pregnacare - I was on the Severn seas ones but noticed the pregnacare ones had a higher vitamin B6 and B12 (I think) content which is supposed to help regulate cycles, not that it has for me yet, but early days.

underrugsswept · 01/04/2016 19:50

I'm taking Boots conception vitamins too. They make me throw up if I don't take them with a full stomach though so sometimes I just take straight folic acid (I have loads of these hanging around!) if I haven't just eaten.

Sparrowlegs248 · 01/04/2016 18:44

tabitha I was referred to as a geriatric mother last time on my pregnancy notes!!

I got the boots combined via d and folic acid today. Was still taking vit d anyway as breastfeeding.

My one worry about Ttc now is exactly how will cope if I get the utter exhaustion I had last timeout the first 4 months.......not sure ds will understand that one!

Oh and bertie, get used to that nausea! I nearly vommed in the bakery section of M and S when preggers. I sampled a chocolate cookie and was very close to having to just throw up there and then.

TryingToStayRational · 01/04/2016 17:49

Perhaps I shouldn't jest about it, but I try to see the funny side of things! Smile
