Yum was in need of a new thread, and I thought the title was apt because it's not just TCOYF charts anymore... hope it's ok?? I don't want anyone to think I am taking over

Just needing something, anything, to take my mind OFF my impending doom

Hi MrsMc - I was just thinking the same as am wondering if I am having an anov cycle too?? Anyway found this on wikipedia:

"Normal menstrual bleeding in the ovulatory cycle is understood as a result of a decline in progesterone due to the demise of the corpus luteum. It is thus a progesterone withdrawal bleeding. As there is no progesterone in the anovulatory cycle, bleeding is caused by the inability of estrogen - that needs to be present to stimulate the endometrium in the first place - to support a growing endometrium. Anovulatory bleeding is hence termed estrogen breakthrough bleeding"

Not sure if it helps or not? What else would give a temp rise though more seaside confusion

I am due to have another CD21 test this month so I guess I wll find out them?

Hi Ladies software still not agreeing with me that I OVd 28/3. I?ve had high temps ever since then, today was 36.4. What do you ladies honestly think? Does anyone remember whether or not you can get a progestrone rise on an annovulatory cycle?

Ready ? first thing I did when I logged on was check your chart but couldn?t see a temp for today so thought that in spite of the slight drop, things still looked good. Sorry to hear it dropped again today I know you must be really fed up but its not over yet hn and I still have my fingers crossed for you. Is this your longest LP to date? Anything else new or different? Isn?t the lower ab pain hanging around more than usual?

3cats ? have you tried a mass delete? Go into I think it is the second tab on the left in the toolbar and you can delete the days before or after a certain date and then start again. It?s the only way to stop it from making assumptions based on those incorrect posts I think. Hope that helps.

Didn't see your message yesterday evening yum so I didn't take up your suggestion Well... mother of all temp drops, and still no blood. I am sure that it will be CD1 before the day is out!! But in the mean time, I can safely say I am not pregnant. Below the coverline

Thanks for the moral support!! Just what I needed! Bit miffed that I am not pregnant, but I really didn't expect to be, so it's not as huge a disappointment as it has been. If you see what I mean??

So... Ready is back!! How is everyone??

OvenREADY - at least it is now less than 24 hours till you will know one way or the other. Either your temp will rise again and you will be facing the "test or not" challenge, or your temp will drop further and af will make her grand arrival know to you. Either way with your regular cycles, it is ONLY one more day to know. I hope this thought helps in some way. As an aside, I always found that hard work and exercise delayed onset of af for me and sex made it arrive early, so perhaps you could put my theory to the test and shag your dh for distraction tonight!!!!

Yep Yum... plenty of distraction - digging, weeding, fighting with cotsold chippings. The Great Garden Project is still going... it's amazing what 2 Sunday afternoons can do to make a garden look fab! It's not finished yet... still lots of weeding to do... and mulching the beds... moving a couple of shrubs and laying a few stepping stones I just realised how much there is still to do! Best not fall pg til it's done huh!!

Kensgirl - Thank you so much sweets, really lovely of you to post that here, bless you for thinking of me!! I am pretty sure my number is up, CD1 probably tomorrow now.

City - Sorry you are struggling with a hangover. Big hugs.

Ready - thank you for starting the new thread, I hope that you are managing to distract yourself a bit today? Thinking of you.

kensgirl · 01/04/2007 12:49

Hi Ready,
Hope you don't mind me butting in to the charting thread,but just wanted to say keep smiling, you never know!! I've been watching your space for a few days, and am hoping it works out for you. Sending you a big hug.

citydevilbunny · 01/04/2007 12:24

Thanks for all your kind messages. I am feeling a bit better now although monstrously hungover

Thanks Yum for being a balanced voice. It is nice to hear that there is still a teeny chance I could be pregnant. I think I will hang on to that for as long as I can. But the temp dip says it all, you are right, of course. I want to take some paracetomol, in prep of when the proper cramps kick in later today - but at the moment I need to feel the pre-men ones, does that sound loopy?

This is officially the worst I have felt since beginning ttc, the disappointment isn't as strong as it has been other months. Mainly because I don't think we had enough sex anyway. But the confusion factor has really thrown me off kilter.

I wonder if the B6 in the pregnacare could be lengthening my LP? Or I wonder if I got the ovulation day wrong because of my disturbed sleeps?

Enough of my rambling... thanks everyone for putting up with me. I will be a much better friend soon.
