SQUARE ONE'ers to GRADUATES - Supporting eachother on TTC journey

My temp was 37.2 this afternoon! Was 36.7 this morning before I got up. I could cry with these cramps this evening.

CD 11

No ewcm yet, even though I've been taking epo and I normally get it for at least 4 days before ov... think it's going to be another long cycle! Stress, slight cold to add to the drama! I've been getting several temps below 36 before ov in a row in the last two months, but trend hasn't started yet. It's so weird how we are all hurrying up to wait with all this ttc lark!

Hi everyone, I think AF is about to arrive here. All symptoms I usually get, and bfn again this morning. It's still 2 days early, but I think she'll come tonight.

This morning I woke up with swollen lymph nodes on my neck - one big one and 4 little ones, all on the right side. I hope I'm not coming down with something. I have a blood test tomorrow, to check that my thyroid, cholesterol and blood sugar levels are fine, so I'll try to see if someone could check that out.

Footprints - what a healthy and yummy set of ingredients! I'm never that creative!

Jodders - I hope you'll sleep better tonight.

The cramps are still there and quite uncomfortable. Really in my private parts. My back is sore too. I'm like a bitch too. So irritable but I think that's cos I'm in pain. I know I had cramps with my boys but I don't think I had them this early.

Not out until you're out jodders - fx for you.

Russ your acupuncture person sounds very helpful! I want to investigate this and can claim for it on my work health plan, but don't want them to know its for fertility... Wonder if they'll put another reason on the receipt for me ...

Just had my first fertility acupuncture, £85 and 3 hours later and lighter I've finally emerged, smelling of roses 😉 This price includes a consultation and first treatment. We talked a lot about fertility, ovulation, fertility window, foods, body chemicals, pregnancy etc really enjoyed the chat! She'll send me a list of food to incorporate into my diet. Will let you know. My 2nd appointment is in 2 weeks.
I'm currently on CD10, DTD on CD5, 7 and 9. She advised to DTD every other day from end of your period all the way through to CD21. Providing I'm usually 28-29 CDs. Which I am. Already changes in CM. "Science" continues till CD21 😉

Yes footprints last time I think it's was like 6/7 days! Cramps are really sore - in my lady bits! Have still the creamy discharge. Temp was 36.8 this morning first thing. Just waiting to see if this is the witch showing her face now. I really think it is

CD2

Jodders- you luteal phase is longer than last time. Am I right ? So that's promising...?
How u feeling now?

How's everyone today?

Key ingredients today- 1 glass of fresh grapefruit juice, 2kiwis, Yoghurt, spinach and onion egg white omelette with salad with 2 Brazil nuts so far..!
No cramps today but still heavy bleeding. Tummy feels so much better than last week. Must have been a big build up!

CD 24 (10/11 DPO)

Think the witch is on her way...cramps. Strong ones today. Boobs sore. Tired. Warm.

Urghhhh such a rubbish sleep I'm having! Awake on and off tossing and turning all night. Warm, thirsty and needing to pee. In would say PMT!!!

I missed your post too Kate. Could you take a few days off sick?

Physics- sorry you feel unwell. I know it's annoying when others around you seem to do really well and you are left are struggling. Would you be able to consider part- time? Take a bit of pressure off you? Do u get the school holidays off? If so; hopefully you will get some rest X

Thank you ladies - I guess time will tell!

This is a sample chart on fertility friend who got aBFP, obviously everyone's temps and charts vary but shows a dip to coverline.

Yes on some sample charts I've seen it can dip to coverline but should go back up

Jodders- my coverline was 36.25, lowest temp was 36.10, and highest 36.70. So you are way up in the high which is a very good sign . You may see a dip for implantation. Mine didn't drop until 9dpo went from 36.70 to 36.40 then slowly up and down by .1 then a massive drop when AF arrived to 36.10.

Hope that helps x

Just checked again and it's 36.8. I'm thinking I will start go track in mornings

Is it normal for them to drop back to cover line if you aren't PG? And when would you expect the drop?

I check my temps.my coverline is around. 36.5. Post ov around 36.7 My temps go way up when I have any alcohol or have a lie in, to over 37. My temps stay high until a couple of days into AF.They have last few cycles anyway.

Ummmmm this is interesting isn't it. I have checked my temp before (to check if thermometer is working when boys had fever) and i actually recall it being 36.4 but I thought a rise would be much higher than this if that makes sense.
My hubby today has remarked that I'm noticeably tireder than usual. And really weirdly at dinner my 3 year old started talking about wanting a baby!!! A sister!
