TTC THREAD 16--THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!!!

{{{Hugs}}} Very frustrating indeed! Must run but keep us posted. I hope that you do not need the IVF but if so I wish you immediate success. The advantage of IVF is that you know where you stand.

This is my first cycle but it's onto 60 plus days .... so several months!

How long have you been using FF?

Yup I'm still here! I am upset, but that's the way it is I guess.

sorry for the delay. I thought that I hit post before wandering off but it was on Preview Message. Are you still up? (It is only 3:36 in my corner of the world)

BeckieF: I am sorry. I wish I knew what to say. you have been through so much and the last thing you need is to have conflicting info from FF. Do you always do your temp at exactly the same time? Did you have anything to drink New Year's Eve?
As I said earlier, I tried to use the program and I was frustrated that it suggested that I had not ovulated because I was fairly certain that I had and I was right as I was indeed pg. It was a temp issue that time too.

Canadianmom - I got 10dpo on the chart, until after todays temp it changed it's mind. Very upsetting for me as this was the last attempt before having to go the IVF route.

Thanks Canadianmom (esp for reminding me to go back to my non xmas name!) I do have regular 28 day cycle.

CDDD: Welcome to the TTC game! I have not used the Ov predictor tests but I did read the book 'Takng Charge of your fertility' by Toni W___ (mind drawing a blank on the surname) and I now know when I am ovulating. Not everyone has a 28 day cycle or ovulates on day 14. Someone more clever than me should be along shortly to actually answer your questions. Forgive my rambling.
All the best.

Sorry Beckief. You must feel so discouraged. It will only be a small consolation but ff also told me that I did not ov on a month that I fell pg. I did not have a membership but was using the free trial at the time. It is not always right. Will keep you in my prayers for a 2005 bfp.
As for me, DH left for Ottawa this morning; kids and I to follow on Saturday. Rather a sad goodbye at the airport (especially for DS1 who is 7). Hoping not to Ov between now (CD 12) and then (CD 17). Was moaning about too long a cycle last time and suspect that I will be whingeing about too short a cycle this time around.

Hi am now going to ttc again and have a quick question. We tried for 3 yrs for dd, when we finally did conceive we definitely didn't shag at the right time so I suspect I may ovulate at an odd time. Do these things that tell you when you are ovulating actually work? Are they expensive and where is the best place to buy them? Or would using a persona machine in reverse be better?

TIA

Hi Hula - no I don't think so because although my temp dropped dramatically 2 days ago (as it would were there an implantation), it has ony gone up a tad today and not over my coverline. I do have some cramps yesterday and today, but PCOS is a b*tch ... I hate it.

CD6 for me (month 5 of TTC) so not much news there. Thinking of trying OPK this month to see if they detect OV or not. Am also trying to get fit and lose wieght, Joined gym yesterday and start diet tomorrow.

Cockenzie - FF stands for Fertility Friend. It is a website you can use to chart your BBT.

Becki FF has done that to me the past two months. Do you think that you may have Ovd regardless though?

Happy new year and congratulations to all BFP's - what a lucky thread !

btw - cockenzie, is that where you're from? Saw sign posts when we were in E.Lothian - it was all so beautiful up there so I can see why you'd miss it. Where are you moving to?

hello all

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

only got a minute so not enough time to properly catch up but I spotted another BFP so congrats to Morgan Are there any more I missed??? There seem to be loads of graduates from this thread so big congrats all round. Should we ask one of the grads to start us a lucky new year thread? I don't fancy waiting 'til next christmas for this particular present!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I did and am now a little sad that it's all over so will be looking for some positive news to cheer me up!

CD9 for me so just waiting for persona to start asking for tests and crossing my fingers that it gives me an O this month. No idea at all what's happening with my cycles atm so will have to just bd as much as we can whenever we can!

jb - i just emailed u my chart.hope it makes sense.thanks

right i am posting my chart (BBT).can someone give my suggestion/advice pls?

i dont mean being ignorant, but what if FF?

beckif.so sory for u.i am sure u will get pg sooner or later though

do u know who is the dumb head? duh???? ME Me Me!!!
stupid ass!!! i have been soooo obsessed, and engulfed in FALLING PG for the last few month and wondering why and when and now do i ovulate?? but i just answered my own question..if i didnt ovulate the opk wouldnt work!!! hehe.omg i canbe so daft.however, like the midwife (talked to her on fri) pinpointed, i should chek my hormon level. and b/feeding isnt going to stop me from conceiving for ever.also, now i am bak on a 28 days cycle, who knows? so i am hoping again

Beckif you sound so cheesed off! and quite rightly too!!!!

I know it must be so very hard.......but have you thought about trying to loose a bit of weight, then at least you will be seen as a positive couple who are very motivated and it will make you feel so much better.....? (hope you are not offenede by my suggestion.....just feel for you so very much!)

Sorry Becki. (hugs)

FF removed my ovulation detection based on this mornings temperature, so I've officially no hope of being pg ths month or any other for that matter. Have to get ourselves to the IVF unit even though dp is nervous due to my weight, and although I would rather be lighter I'm not prepared to wait any longer

Hi girls

nothing much to report.

cd24 today and 4-5dpo, the wait continues.

I will be very interested to see when af arrives this cycle, as I ov same cd as last month(cd19-20) and af arrived 7dpo! which I was pretty upset about as lutael phase very short! (the professionals say that LP is always the same every month no matter when ov took place......so we will see!)....anyone any experience of this?

well done! yingers

hester how many dpo are you??
jb when is hubby home??
