Right, not going to test until AF due, not going to obsess over sore boobs, not going to think about baby names, not going to give up alcohol. Anyone want to join me in pretending to not obsess about symptoms/lack of?

This WILL be a lucky thread I tell ya
PrePG I dont think I ever really got proper EWCM either, i think i mistook it for DP's swimmers quite a lot Hard to tell really

PrePG · 07/05/2008 16:20

I wish it was that easy tousletop! This is my first cycle after mc, so things were slightly out of whack. My CM was watery at best and never got to EW at all, so I really didn't know when I was likely to O.

Fruity - you must be due some positive results soon after all that charting, hope the next few days confirm ov...
Preg - surely if you had all the signs of ov, then you did, no matter what FF says...
Lets try our hardest to make this the luckiest of lucky threads

FruitynNutty · 07/05/2008 14:24

oh yeah, I've posted my chart on the temping ladies chart thread. I'm under Fruity or Fruitloop

FruitynNutty · 07/05/2008 14:22

Hi tousletop you're 6dpo like me and PrePG Yes it's a kick in the a*se when your friends announce they are preg, especially from the ones who haven't been trying It was baking hot when I woke this morning here in sunny SW London. I dont think body temp should change that much when it's hot I dont know.
I agree
PrePG FF is cruel. I had high temps a while ago but it turned out I had a fever . I got so excited when I saw those ov lines. I know I'll be really disappointed if they get taken away this time round. It's the 1st time I've ov'ed since I started charting at Christmas thanks to PCOS

Ah littlemissdaisy I'm just kidding really. But FF gives you readings as you go along, but based on what you input, it might change its mind about when you ovulated. So for me, this month I had what looked like a bit of a temp rise around CD14 which is normally early for me but no fertile CM. FF told me that I ovulated on CD14. Then a few days later, I had watery CM and another temp rise - FF took away my first ovulation date based on the presence of fertile mucus, but won't confirm ovulation until you have three high temps. So I had two or three days where it took away my OV, but didn't give me a new one You'll see as you go along - you get so excited when it gives you an OV date adn then you're just crushed when it takes it away . It's just a little frustrating.

Why is FF Cruel, I have just signed up

tousletop · 07/05/2008 13:57

Please can I join in? 6 dpo, trying for DC2 for 6 months. Feeling so stressed about it all....
Feeling worse as one of my best friends announced this morning that she's pregnant again without really trying - we had, by chance, our DDs within a few weeks of each other last time, and I was sort of hoping this time might be the same. Can't be anything but excited and happy for her, just think its increased the stress for me.
Fruity - it was quite chilly first thing I think, so I'm sure it was a proper result...

PrePG · 07/05/2008 13:37

Fruity have you posted your chart?

Yellowflowers & Fruity FF is cruel, cruel, cruel

FruitynNutty · 07/05/2008 13:31

hello ladies, so pleased to have people to wait with. I think I am 4dpo but not completely sure as cycle varies and fertility friends thinks I ovulated yesterday but i think Sat. Going to try to wait until the 20th to test too,

Can I join you? I'm 5dpo. Had a miscarriage in March and waited one normal cycle, so this is our first month back into TTC. Told myself I wasn't going to obsess and bank holiday weekend was good in that we had three whole days where I wasn't sitting in front of a computer (aka obsessive symptom checking machine!). Found myself 'innocently' googling 5dpo by noon, though!

FruitynNutty · 06/05/2008 12:58

Count me in! - For the time being anyway. I'm on CD39 and apparently 5DPO. This is a first for me as I have PCOS and have mega cycles and dont ovulate so actually ovulating is huge for me, getting a BFP would be the icing on the cake .
Last time Fertility Friend predicted ovulation for me it turned out to be a fever causing the high temps so my lines were taken away . This time round I feel fine, except for a tickly cough. I'm hoping my higher temp isnt due to the cough! I've been advised by FF to do an HPT on 20th May - seems ages away!

littlemissdaisy · 06/05/2008 11:40

I will, I'm CD16 today had very early miscarriage last month, 4+ 6, I am determined not to test this cycle until I am at least a week late, I am not very confident about a BFP as I was not allowed to take my Clomid as it is not classed as a natural cycle, anyway given it ago now aiting to see what happens
