Morning - definitely in too good a mood this morning for the hut - not sure why the good mood, but not going to question it while it lasts!!

Anyway, 37.83 this morning, so up a little from yesterday. 11 DPO (well 11 days high temps - when do you count ov from, the day before temp rise or the day of temp rise?)

speak later

What is the point in the thermometers going to 2 decimal places if we don't need to use the 2nd one????

rahrah1 · 23/01/2007 19:04

Oh good you have cheered me up..

Ready · 23/01/2007 18:45

From the profiles... Greedy is 33, Fettle 31, Lottie 36 and Mum03 doesn't have a profile.

I can't be the youngest surely???

RahRah - Pleased to hear that your appointment went well. Sorry to hear that you haven't got a reason for losing Bertie (hugs) What he said is positive though, a one off. I know it doesn't take the pain away, but hopefully it will allow you to look forward with less trepidation? Hope that you can start to relax and get your cycles back on track. It seems so rude of me to say this, as I have no idea of what you went through... but I hope you realise my sentiments come from a good place.

Thinking of you. x

rahrah1 · 23/01/2007 17:20

Can I ask everyone's age? Just in case its an age thing? Then we can see the people that get pregnant quickest if they are the youngest in the group..

Mum03 -
LondonLottie -
Rah - 31 and 7 months
Honeyapple -
Ready -
Greedy -

Just an experiment...

greedyforbabies of course, I will make sure I grab you one... hehe
Any other requests?

greedyforbabies · 23/01/2007 16:52

rahrah!.....what? dont steal anyones children please.....try to control yourself! (if you do get the urge again though, can i have one too!.....preferably a little girl with a cheeky grin!)

fettle - i got confused! (doesn't take much!)....have the cycles when you concieved been long ones or do you not know (apart from recently)

my cycles have always been long but i didnt realise until we started ttc! i started taking my temps on my friends advice. then i looked back in my diary i had when i was 15 where i used to note down my periods and saw that they had always been long! i did bleed continuously for about a month once ( not much, but enough!). anyway.......i guess i have been lucky with ttc in the past, bubt not anymore! BUT this month i am cutting back on drinking.......now THIS is shocking, but....last night i didn't have a drink and that is my first alcohol free night since sept (when i thought i was pg!) disgusting i know, but it keeps me sane!
how are you feeling by the way fettle? when are we allowed to get excited for you?

rahrah1 · 23/01/2007 16:21

I think that might be the late temp taking ...whoops..

How sad am I, I could not sleep last night as I was think about ways to heighten women's awareness of their cycles...I was going to start with kids in sex ed! I even had a dream of teaching a class. Knowing my luck I would teach the kids and they would then all go out and get pregnant. I would then decide to bribe one into giving me their child, because I had still not become pregnant, and got caught up in a massive scandal..

Do you think I have an active imagination or just spending too much time talking about conceiving and ovulation spotting?

This is one mad Rah...signing off!!

A potted history of Fettle's cycle just for Greedy!

Always been pretty irregular, since they started when I was 11. Never really took much notice of cycles back then, but I would say probably every 2-3 months, if that!

Went on the pill in late teens to deal with cycle problems (2 wk periods, spotting throughout cycle etc) and bad acne, so then didn't really think much about it until I started TTC when I was 26. I'd been off the pill for a while by that point and still had no idea when to expect AF. That's when a nice GP suggest I take my BBT to have some idea of when at least to expect AF, as theoretically I could be about 6-8 weeks pg before I even realised!

I was told to get pg and that would sort them out by some irresponsible GP when I was 15, but turns out he was pretty correct, as my cycle does seem to be more settled just after my mc's!

since then my cycles have ranged up to 56 days, with the shortest being around 40. They were slightly more regular, say around 6 weeks when they came back after I stopped BF DD, but still not very regular. After the complications following my 1st mc last year, my cycle settled down to about 31 day cycles, until the mammoth cycle when I "met" you and that brings us up to date.

How bout you?

greedyforbabies · 23/01/2007 14:30

thanks fettle! i thought we would be starting our next marathon cycle together this time, but looks like that might not be the case! i suppose you getting your bfp is SLIGHTLY more important than me having a long cycle buddie! just dont forget about me!

have your cycles always been so long? were they long before you concieved your dd? what is your average cycle length would you say? sorry questions questions!

you're one hot chick today rahrah! guess thats the late temp taking is it?

greedyforbabies · 23/01/2007 13:48

great news there is nothing wrong with you rahrah! you could get your bfp before you know it

rahrah1 · 23/01/2007 12:40

Thanks londonlottie... Will go and take it now (I know it will be inaccurate, but least I will have a temp for that day)..

I really can't keep up with all the pregnancies going on at the moment.. there have been loads of BFP flying about...

Jan must of been a busy month! Wish it was me..but suppose it can't happen to everyone in the same month, otherwise the hospitals can't cope!

Rahrah - I'm very glad there is nothing wrong with you, but I can understand the frustration of not having a reason why Bertie died. After my 1st mc at 9 weeks last Feb, I desperately tried to think of things that could have cause me to mc, when i'd previously had full-term pg with DD. Obviously I'll never get any answers to that or why I mc again in December.

Hopefully, though he will have reassured you though that now you can try again without having to be unduly worried (anymore than you are obviously going to be, as soon as you get that BFP again!).

Take care of yourself and try and keep positive and book that holiday!!!
