Had spotting yesterday, so just waiting for AF to start now.

Rah - careful what you wish for as you never know what will happen.

ZamMummy - temp rise sounds promissing fingers crossed for you. Congrats on first steps very exciting. Life will never be the same again, welcome to toddlerdom !!!

Blue - I know what you mean about hormones etc. Why the temp rise if no OV. Well if I understand it correctly we are always producing a certain level of progesterone and oestorgen. I did think that the increase in temperature did signify ovulation, but according to my research the lowered BBT is caused by the oestrogen, so I guess that might explain it. I will definately be taking my charts with me to the meeting and will ask the consultant.

I must say that a lot of girls on this thread have commented about the lack of understanding of the benefits and implications of temping on TTC.

Walk this way to the new thread: 'New thread'

Started in honor of our dearest READY!

Howdy duchesse, good to see you back.

I can guarantee you give up and then bobs your uncle it will happen! Sods bloody law!

ZamMummy, fingers crossed for you. Congratulations to your son on his first steps. How exciting for him. X

Minxi, sorry about temp drop, hope you enjoy your friend. Have fun and play safe!

Gracie, have fun with your BD...

This month we are not bothering with Temps and OPK and doing it at the right time, as we don't think its the best time for me or DH, as we have the 'Big' move coming and it would be a nightmare with me being pregnant and being on bed rest. (need to take the first 12 weeks very easy!) so its very unlikely for me for the next two months. I will still be logging on as usual, hope this is OK.

Hope everyone else is OK and enjoying the weekend.

Temperature drop probably a waiting game for af now - due wed/thur have had loads of cramps so thats probably another sign...can't remember anymore - each month seems a bit of a blur with symptons!

Hope everyone is alright....we are due bfp's here soon ?! have to go as have friend arriving from abroad for a week so that should take my mind of everything

Hope your all having a lovely weekend and speak to you all soon

Not much to report here, apart from a gin and Amaretto (NOT in same glass...!) induced hangover as don't think I'm PG so what the hell - and it went very nicely with the Indian takeaway! But less fun now 15mo DS wants to practice his walking

Hi girls...what alot I have to catch up with - did log on whilst abroad briefly and saw you Ready with your lp14 thought brilliant - but sorry it wasn't meant to be!!

put myself back on the list after being away for a few weeks holiday - am slightly hopeful this month as bd as much as we could startting cd6 during the week of ov...and what with the clomid, if it doesn't work this month..will do lap and dye September...
am off to catch up on stuff - chat soon xx

Thank you Nappy

Sorry to hear you have had trouble too - esp with uncommunicative doctor. I had a look at your charts - have you tried herbs? agnus castus can help lengthen a short lp. great that you are seeing a consultant soon - keep me posted on what he has to say.

I am still a bit muddled about temp charts though and whether or not they are proof of ovulation. I thought that progesterone was produced by corpeus luteum post ovulation and that prog is what causes a temp rise so...... if there's no ovulation there's no progesterone and presumably no temp rise....?

And if you look at FF at the chart gallery all the anovulatory charts are quite flat. When I mentioned charting and acupuncture to doc he just said "you don't really believe all that mumbo jumbo do you" so no help there!

Bizarrely I have been refusing to accept what the doc has told me about me not ov'ing this month and was hoping for a miraculous BFP (had so many 'symptoms'!!) to wipe the smug smile off his face. Sadly that little fantasy is over as AF is here . Still - at least I can start again and hope for the essential egg this month!

Morning Blueberry et all I think I can help, as I had similar tests (as I recall it was at the same time ish as you).

Well I was told all was "normal" and I had a bit of a rant!

Well today I was back at Docs as cold has now turned into sinusitus and with the weekend coming up I decided to go and visit him and get some drugs. Ok back on point NV!!

While there I asked him about my results and as we have a good IT system down here, I can see the report over his shoulder on the screen.

Anyway the "normal" result was for my CD2 blood work up!! The CD21 (which was CD23 for me), was for progesterone levels. Mine was 19 and the report says it should be over 30! whoops. Anyway that indicates that I am probably not ovulating or if I am ovulating that explians the v short LP (only 9 days).

So..... I guess what I am saying Blue is that I still get a regular looking chart see here for ff charts, as I am producing the right hormones, just not in the right amounts. that particular month I also did not get and LH surge so I am not surprised I did not OV. but I guess the consultant will be suggesting clomid to us as well, when we go in a couple of weeks.

If your levels of progesterone are the only problem there are other options I believe, such as B6, progesterone creams and apparently a drug called Prometrium (but I am no doc so don't trust me!!!!! )

I know that this probably does not reassure you in anyway or improve your feelings, but I will tell you what the doc says to us after 11th if that helps.

btw girls this months chart is just blinking ridiculous due to sickness, and I am going to have to work out OV by taking 9 off when AF starts!!!!

Morning all, temp has dipped again but still way above coverline, and have got cramps....? but not much CM? still hoping tho' xx
Sorry Blueberry, no answers for you. Personally I'd want to try anything and everything I was offered, but that's just me...
xx

Hello Ladies,

I was temping with you all briefly a few weeks ago and then had some tests which gave me some rather upsetting results (v high FSH, very low ovarian reserve - the test results even said "fertility very low/undetectable") so I couldn't face it and stopped posting.

I hope you are all well - I see there have been some BFPs recently so I am sure it is just a matter of time for you (although I know that is frustrating)

Anyway - I wonder if you can help. A consultant I have seen has just done a day 22 progesterone test and based on that one result (don't know score yet but it must be below the threshold for him to be so sure) he says I am not ov'ing but I thought my temp chart showed that I am ov'ing. Do you know whether a temp rise in second half is definitive proof of O? The only trick he has to pull of of the bag for me is Clomid and I don't want that because I have read in a couple of places that when you have v low ovarian reserve it can actually work against you and shut down the ovaries further (I admit that is anecdotal rather than scientific evidence but enough to give me a wobble about it!)

Any advice/knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

I am going to have such a high coverline this month, no idea why I'm so hot at the moment. It is quite nice outside, but far from tropical.

I think this is the month, we all get BFP's and end this thread!! Just as long as I'm not the only one left, posting to myself. Perhaps we need to start recruiting

Morning,

Ready - Sorry to hear normality has resumed, this month will be your month

Nappy - Sorry to hear you weren't well, but remember it only takes one time, so don't write off the month yet. Fingers crossed for you

Right we so need some good luck on this thread for this month - everybody think positive thoughts.
