Hello all,

I had a quick scan through but couldn't see any active ish threads. Just wanting to get a discussion going so we can help, cast eyes over your charts and offer advice.

I started charting 3 months a go and love it, knowing that morning my period will arrive as opposed to staring at BFN certainly is less disheartening and makes me feel more in control.

We have a MMC in May trying for baby no1 and I have a D&C cycles pretty much returned to normal however now I get the most hideous painful boobs now about a week before AF which I never had before.

Anyway, my chart this month has a huge dip 5dpo and a huge spike today 6dpo, have been having what feels like UTI symptoms but doctor said all is fine. Here is a pic of my chart

Welcome @littlelemur! Fertility friend is easiest for charting.

My advice would be make sure it's consistent. Same time, same position. Other than that, it's all pretty straight forward. Any questions do ask! :) I'll be here for the next month or so :) hahaha xx

Hello, I'm so sorry to jump in! I'm just starting temping and OPKs this month and I was wondering if you ladies had any advice?

I can see from your pictures that you are all using Fertility Friend - would you say this is the best app for tracking? I've downloaded Fertility Friend ready, but also Ovia.

Thank you in advance!

Giraffe888 · 21/11/2018 10:07

@snowflake9 I really do wish you all the luck in the world with your next cycle and hope your holiday brings you some success! TTC is such a difficult and draining task and staying positive is so difficult xx

Oh that's good news! Decided we are going to try the SMEP Plan next cycle.

I also realised I inputted a temp wrong the other day. Write it in notes on my phone then put it in FF. So here is my chart. Still having BFN's as of yesterday and AF will arrive today as all I wanted to do yesterday was eat and shout at people haha!! but just to show that dips don't necessarily mean pregnancy.

So super happy though that we got 2 BFP on this post !! Fingers crossed for us going into our next xx

Thank you @Snowflake9. I got my static smiley today so FF has decided that I hadn’t ovulated after all!

Giraffe888 · 20/11/2018 20:19

@snowflake9 I’m sorry it looks like AF is coming. Definitely enjoy your holiday and fingers crossed for a holiday baby!!! X

Hi Chanel! Welcome to the thread.

From looking at your chart I would say even FF isn't sure. I would keep doing your OPK's and wait for FF to adjust. Are you taking temps at same time each morning?

Can anyone help me interpret my chart? FF thinks I ovulated on cd11 which is incredibly early for me! I have 31 day cycles so surprised that it has come up that I’ve ovulated! Do you think this will adjust? I’m confused!

Here's mine. I used conceive plus on a few occasions this month and followed SMEP apart from the final day for good luck. Also kept legs in the air after dtd for around 10 mins.

Well I want to eat EVERYTHING although I have felt nauseous and dizzy most of the day.

Hopefully your AF will start soon for you or it stays away long enough :) xx

Just not feeling it this month now. Could be a blessing. God's way of saying enjoy your holiday in the Bahamas and have a cocktail!!

I really appreciate you all, it has made this 2ww much easier. X

That's not too big a drop @Snowflake9 , fingers crossed it goes back up tomorrow. Like you say though you did it first time last time so I wouldn't panic yet.
I got a massive temp drop today so I really think that's it, bang on the day I am due on.
Going to get some conceive plus for next cycle. I wanted to give do zinc supplements as they help his swimmers but then I found out he can take it with his medication.

Morning snowflake

Please don’t be too disheartened that your temp has dropped as that’s exactly what mine did then went back up the day after.

I wouldn’t rush to go private as you conceived first month so you’re obviously both very fertile!

Hope you’re ok x

Told DH no baby this month. He then asked when we should go and see someone. He is willing to pay private. He just doesn't want to waste any time if there is a problem. Although I agree with him, we did conceive in March, first month. Boom there it was. I just feel so cheated and that I'm letting him down.

Not the greatest way to start the week.

Can the ladies with BFP just show their charts? So we can have a reference point for future readers? X

Quite a huge drop for me today. Starting to get cramps too. Not my month. X

I agree with @daisypod, i think FF charts are a lot easier to use x

Daisypod · 18/11/2018 22:49

Personally I would use fertility friend (ff) app @Foamybanana93 as the charts are much easier to read. I can't really tell what's going on with that chart as the days aren't very clearly labelled.
If you do ff you could get you temps from the one you have used already and put them in for one of their charts.

Foamybanana93 · 18/11/2018 21:44

Congratulations to the ladies with their BFP ! sorry to jump on the thread but only 3rd month temping ttc for over 3 years with random cycles, any insight into my chart I’m not too sure what’s going on ? Confused
