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

Pants.. second day in and did not take my temp... how rubbish am I... Think it was because I had my appointment today with fertility consultant, was a bit consumed in that.

Went ok,,, He has said the following:

  • Body is a bit out of sink, but still in range of a normal women..but been under loads of stress, when I start relaxing again, cycles should go back to normal. The body just needs a longer time to heal.

  • PCO is not a problem, all my hormone levels are correct, but he has taken a second load to day to put my mind at rest.

  • Clotting issues, the test showed that it is highly unlikely I have a clotting issue, he has repeated them, but unlikely the cause.

  • He believes that I had a one off implantation issue, that consequently effected the placenta and its ability to sustain a pregnancy.

In short, I am a healthy, youngish women that stands the same chance of anyone else of conceiving and having a normal pregnancy. He said to keep trying and come back to see him in 6 months if not pregnant. So very good news, just have to have trust in him that this is the truth and not keep looking for something to be wrong. (I might cancel the other clinics and go on holiday instead!) It's just so confusing, as he said there is just no science behind what has happened, as it is still a subject that has little fact behind it. So however much we search and search it is highly unlikely we will ever get an answer.

As you can see... another rise for me. No idea what that means. I feel distinctly un-pregnant. When I told DH that this morning, he just laughed at me

Lottie... steady eddie temp for you!! That is good. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Rahrah!!! you are perfectly entitled to have a cry and a paddy!! I am prone to paddies and tears myself

rahrah1 · 22/01/2007 16:26

I am going to go to the hut to rant about my AF!! I'm so upset...

Thanks Ready for your kind words...but if you saw me this morning having a big paddy and cry..I certainly would not be an inspiration!

Hi Londonlottie- thats exactly it- i hope that with temping I will actually see when I OV (if at all). Because I have been getting stressed about it, which I am sure is not helpful for TTC.

Fettle? Where's Fettle???? OMG!!!!! I can't believe I went to watch the football and missed out on the "tentative" news!!!! Shhhhh.... I am sooooooooo excited. Can't stop smiling. SO hoping this one sticks for you honey! Positive thoughts coming all the way from Greater Manchester for you!! Keep us posted if you can

Rah ((hugs)) Sorry about AF. Dammit. Whenever I think about what you have been through, I well up. Hopefully this doesn't sound too odd, but you are an inspiration! Truly amazing strength!! My fingers and toes are always crossed for you!! Good luck this cycle!

Mum03 - We meet again Hope that temping will help you resist early testing, remember the ClearBlueFairy is always watching You should start to see a pattern once you have charted for a couple of months (here's hoping you won't be waiting that long!). My book says don't expect it to make sense straight away.

Honeyapple - I have found temping really helpful (and calming!) - good luck!! Hope it helps

Lottie - Crumbs, that is a high temp (well it would be if it were me! I have only ever reached 36.70 twice ... Sorry you have a stinking cold. Could mean you immune defences are low cos your body is busy growing a baby!! I made that up, but it does sound plausible

Where or where is Queen Mean??? Greedy? Yoohoo??

Hello all,
Have decided for the first time since TTC to record my temps- not sure when I have been OVing! I thought I had a typical 28 day cycle with OV day 13/14- however after closer inspection I have had cycles of generally 27 days, with one 33 dayer... not too irregular, but anyway...

Thanks for looking at the chart fettle, I am glad that I was not the only one confused by it. Hopefully this cycle will clarify things.
Rahrah - sorry to hear that you are back to the beginning again too.

HI guys

Todays temp:

AF has arrived for Rah - 36.2 CD1 (Boo hoo)

How is everyone else doing?

rahrah1 · 21/01/2007 23:13

Thanks fettle.. no problems with any questions...

fettle · 21/01/2007 22:17

Hi Mum03 - tricky one. If it hadn't been for your higher temp on CD9, I would say that you had a ov dip on CD10. however, based on your CM charting, it looks more likely that you ov on CD13/14. The dip on CD15 is something that is sometimes seen according to toni weschler! however, she does say that it shouldn't dip below the coverline.

It will probably take a few cycles to gain an idea of what is "normal" for you!

HTH
take care

No, rahrah, not sorry at all I asked. I hope you didn't think I was being nosy. I certainly found it good to tell as many people as would listen about everything.

I have PCOS, or at least suggestive in a scan many years ago. after my 1st mc, I had a scan for retained products and the sonographer said my ovaries were clear. But I never really know the probs associated with actual pg if you have PCOS, only the trouble conceiving.

I hope your appointment is not too distressing on tuesday - Take care

Mum03, I'll try have a look at your chart for you and see what I can see!

I remember now,,, sorry...

OMG that pharmacy is massive.. that is one crazy, manic place!

When I was in hospital (I was in Walsgrave for over a month when pregnant), my hubbie use to wheel me down to the shops close to the pharmacy... That use to be my trip out! It was always a bit of a nightmare having to be wheeled around near there!

I saw Mr Kennedy when trying to conceive Bertie, he is quite matter of fact... so know he will give it to us straight down the line....
