Blueberry our posts crossed. So I have put you to top of the list - sorry hun bad news on AF .

I am taking Agnus Castus this month, so we will see, but the cramps I am having are not looking good for pushing that LP up to 11 again this month.

Seaside - I was just thinking of you the other day!! Glad to hear all is going well.

MrsMcJ - we promise to be nice to all our new tempies. Thank you for sending them over, it was getting a little lonely round here with people getting pregnant (hooray) or needing a break . But now we are a considerable number, and ready for our next flurry of BFPs as you say.

Great to hear scans have gone well.I cried too. I only had a 20wk scan so am looking forward to getting a 12wk one this time

Rah go and find some useless numpty and rant at them. I always find that helps. GHD - oh I know what you mean now, sorry I am such a useless tomboy.

Anyone in need of a chuckle check out latest pic of DS dressed up in rain gear while at inlaws with chickenpox!! This is why we persevere cos kids are just so darn amusing!

Hello Girls

Sorry but have been too rushed to 'speak' much over the last few days but have now had a chance to read back through the thread and catch up a little on who?s who and what?s happening. My temp has just crashed through the floor and AF started last night - on the upside I suppose I now know my LP!

Rah - I am really sorry to read about your m/c but really hope all goes brilliantly for you when you start the IUI . Also sorry about the unwelcome AF due at the weekend - Minxi and Nappy too. Hope you are all wrong. I shall be joining you with the bar of choc (perhaps a glass of wine too!) - hope it helps.

Gracie - I definitely agree that you should fib to the doc and pretend you have been trying for over a year. (Assuming last pill prescription fits with that). They have no way of checking! Slightly embarrassed to say that I have fibbed in the past to get tests before we had even started trying. DH was very reluctant and couldn't be persuaded and I was worried about time ticking away so thought I would like some tests to see how my fertility was looking - told doc we had been trying for 6 months and was sent for tests without too many questions. (Only slightly tricky moment was when doc suggested DH had a sperm test which only encouraged further fibbing!). Showed all to be relatively OK but it was good to know that rather than be worrying otherwise . In the meantime you can carry on temping too.

Nomore - I have a friend who got on really well with Clomid and is now 5 months pregnant. No twins though despite daydreaming ! I have been using OPK for last three cycles and then only started temping last cycle. OPK was certainly much easier (and less of an interruption to weekend lie-ins!) and good for cross-checking with temp chart but expensive and doesn?t have a great reputation for accuracy ? they can give false ?ves and so you risk the chance of missing ov. Personally I feel much more on top of things now I am temping (might re-think though after a few more cycles of it!)

Congratulations MrsMc it must be incredible to see your baby moving around. I like reading your missives ? reminds me there is a point to all this!

Hope everyone else is very well. For those looking to increase LP - have you tried Agnus Castus which can help to regulate/lengthen a short cycle and increase progesterone/lower FSH......

Sorry to drivel on!

Hi temping buddies - I have been offline for 3 weeks but now I am back home now and just wanted to pop in and check on you all. I have been thinking about you all and was hoping I might come back to an abandoned thread after a record spontaneous BFP fest

The TTC graduates are all lovely but I would like to see some more of you coming to join us - we must be just about due for another flurry of BFP's surely? - get that Pregnancy Panda back again!

Hopefully MrsMc and I and other grads can give a bit of hope. I had my first scan this week and it was amazing. I honestly had begun to believe it may never happen for me and if you had told me in March that I would be seeing that dancing baby on the screen in July I wouldn't have believed you. But it has happened and it will for you too.

I am sending you all positive vibes and big {{{{{hugs}}}} stay strong and keep at it

xxxxxxxx

Excellent news MrsMcJnr, how lovely to see your little one waving for the first time. Such a special time. (hope you waved back). I cried at every scan, so don't worry about that! I'm sure everything will be OK with the results.

GHD's are hair straighteners NappyValley

Got to go out but will be taking the advise given and reach for the largest bar of chocolate in the shop and wallow in my own self pity for the next couple of days... and take pity in those that cross my path in that time!

Minxi , hope you are wrong! But I just know mines coming too.... when you know you know! GRRRRRR

High temps but signs af is on its way tmi but when I wipe small smidgens of colored cm sooo small practically need magnifying glass but they are there! Oh well by saturday will sure to be cd1!!

Nomore ? day dreaming of babies is meant to help TTC ? maybe dreaming of twins will double the assistance In my experience OPKs are stressful even when temping and certainly not to be used alone ? it can be really stressful when you get ?ives day after day when you think you should get a +ive and that stress can actually lead to OV being delayed even more. Whilst they are good as back up for what you think is happening, apparently there are lots of reasons for false negatives and positives, plus they are costly (though not as bad on sites like accessdiagnostics.com) HTH

Look after ZamMummy for me (there may be a few more on their way over from TTC after MC thread)

Nappy ? funny that the B6 was making you feel that way hon. Do you take evening primrose oil? Something helped my LP move from 9 ? 11/12 if not the B6, could have been the oil

Rah ? sorry about the pains hope it?s not AF. You are right; you should stop B6 after OV as it could be harmful after that. Enjoy the GHDs (personally can?t be bothered! )

Hello everyone else had my nuchal this morning. It was so nerve wracking. The beanie looked fine, just the right size for my dates and waving away at us with its little hands and feet ? I really thought I was going to cry. I know the purpose was for Downs but at that moment in time, all I cared about was that it?s heart was beating and that it was alive Sonographer said the measurements looked ok from a Down?s perspective and based on age my risk is 1:549 so hopefully when I get the results back on Tues, they?ll be higher than that wanted to tell you all ? I know you all so want a baby and I temped for 9 months to get here so I really hope that this gives you hope that you too will be reporting back to the temping thread having graduated

I know what you mean about hard to read, but with cut and paste we lose the bold and I am too lazy to put the stars bakc in sorry!

nomoremag I and I think many others use OPK tests as well as temping. Do you know when you normally OV? as you are CD12 you should be OK to start now unless you OV really early. It helps tell you when your LH surge is (Lutenising Hormone which is the one that says "oi ovary give us an egg". SOooo you should ovulate 24-48 hrs afterwards and then you should see a temprise after that. The themp rise can occur 24-72 hours after ovulation depending on the person. For me I seem to get OPK +ve then temprise 4 days later. Hoe that helps. I am sure others have more advice too.

Rah sorry you are feeling so miserable - you know my advice at times like these, got to the shop and find the cabinet that says "In case of emergency break glass" and then remove the LARGE BAR OF DAIRY MILK and indulge!!!!!!!!!

Sorry what is GHD again?

I an finding the temp list hard to read and thought I would see if this made it easier with the - and the temps at the end...what do you think ? Or shall we go back to the orginal format ? Argh..we really need a table or tabs

Morning all... yesterday I was 8DPO and started getting bad period pains and today have the same.. how annoying, Think AF is coming early. (It came at DPO 10 once before)
I have been taking B6 40mg and did feel really fertile this month and got far more CM than usual. But I stopped taking it when I ovulated, is this correct or are you meant to take it through out the cycle?

But on a brighter note my new GHD's arrived this morning....wooooohooo!

Duchesse - sorry to see you at CD1 again - I will be joining you soon for CD1 - cycle 33! So a little behind you but not that far! Not a competition either should be in! NOT FAIR!! I'm feeling rather sorry for my self today..

ZamMummy - welcome!!!!!!!!

Minxi - how are you feeling. Your temp is still high and very near AF time. Can you see any signs? Have my fingers crossed for you!

Catch you all later.... Hello to everyone!

no temp this am as have had no sleep, so may never know about temp rise. Thinking of trying OPK rather than temping, anyone got any experience of OPK?

Welcome ZamMummy. Sorry your AF is due. Do you know your Lutel Phase length, add it in as it helps us know when to start getting excited. We all live vicariously!!

Rah sorry hun. I will be thinking of you at the weekend, as I am due sat.

NoMore - day dreaming(???) of twins well nothing wring with your PMA!! Don't worry about temp rise. See what you get tomorrow first. So gald we have made you fell more positive about the clomid.

As for me, I can feel the cramps starting and am worried that we are only going to get a 9 day LP again. Feeling so much better and energetic since stopping the vit B6 though.

Got a temp rise today (of 0.5°) but it's too early for ov (I would say, but then when doc did ultrasound scan he said "you're mid-cycle, you should be expecting you period in 12-14 days" to which I said "that's sooner than I would have though" appt was CD9) Who knows? Maybe I am having a very short cycle?

Thanks for all the good wishes and postive stories about clomid, quite frankly I want to start now. I read somewhere else that starting on clomid gives you all the excitement of when you started ttc, I've already fallen hook line and sinker for that enthusiasm, so you might be picking me up from a very dark place in about 7 weeks time! Also was told clomid increases chance of twins, so have been day dreaming of having twins now! (I'm so sad!!)

Anyway, that's far too much waffle from me xx

Hi all, can't stop today but will be back tomorrow.

Hello can I join too? Just started temping and using the highly addictive software yesterday..... AF due any day now (tested BFN on Mon)
CD31, temp 36.3
I'm trying for 2nd baby (DS is 13mo) after MMC in Feb.
Recommended to join here by the lovely MrsMc - thankyou!

Have to tell you guys lovely news ? we had our second baby arrive last night on the TTC Graduates board Bodkin had a gorgeous baby girl at home, 7 lb 6

Blueberry ? that?s still a good high temp

Gracie ? glad you are enjoying the book, it is great for reference (especially the appendices) once you have read it through Keep up the PMA

Nomore ? good luck with the clomid, there have been lots of great results from ladies on that

Oh Rah

Morning girlie's!

Rainbowdays - Good luck with the job application!

nomoremagnolia - sorry to hear your not ovulating. But least they know what is wrong now and have put you on clomid. I'm sure it will make the difference and you will be with child shortly!

Minix - What a bummer about next month! Will you stop your clomid for that month?

Thinking - Good luck with the OPK's - I found them a bit difficult at first but are now use to them. I find they work best in the evening for me and I leave it on the side for a good 3-4 minutes and then return to see it.

NappyValley - I work in Leamington and my parents live in Warwick. But men from Leamington tend to be up their own arse's, where men from Coventry are just wrong! My sister has a similar problem to your friends and has also not liked anyone we have set her up with, as well as getting extremely annoyed at being set up with people!

Gracie14 - Have fun with the book...I ordered three pregnancy related books at the same time and my husband thought I was slightly obsessed

MrsMcJnr - 'The Raj' says- yes I hope I have a lovely wedding accessory..

Duchesse & Ready - hope all is well X

Ok here is my usual end of cycle moan. I'm due on Sat/Sun and getting the usual signs of AF. Yesterday got that change in my CM, which is apparently the egg coming away. Then PMT is kicking in and not being able to engage my brain before speaking - basically I needed to be locked up now until my AF arrives. I know we are down for treatment now and we know that on our normal history we would not of caught, but you still hold out hope! STAMP FEET!!!!!! WHY ME???? GRRRRRRRRRR

Have a good day from 'one angry Rah' (AKA the Raj - in Scotland) XX

Morning girls...

Nomore I am on clomid - my 4th cycle and as you can see from the temp chart am nearing the end of this one.... not sure whether I feel positive or not but we will see by the end of this week...
Its okay though - made me go a bit manic first couple of months but thats a side effect and the hormones your not used to etc...I am fine now though seem to get used to it. Saying that you might fall in the first couple of months so fingers crossed to you...
