Temping buddies 12- What's all the Broo-har with Hoo-Har temping? BFP's please!

Hi lou! I've not started doing corrected temps yet so always stick to what I get!

Morning all! SesQal I started using OPKs this month - you can get them really cheaply on ebay about £4.99 for 40 OPKs and 10 HPTs (plus postage).

I also have a quick question again! Do you correct your temps for your graph? And if so, do you put your actual temp in this list on MN, or the corrected temp?

Morning all! Hope I've updated the list ok. Do any of you use OPKs? If so when do you start using them? The box says normally cd7 but I know I never normally ovulate that early so I'd probably start cd10 or 11.

Hope everyone's ok this morning. I'd better get going and go to work. Catch you later!

Thanks LBOT! Where do you get agnus castus from and how is it meant to benefit - EWCM or more regular ov or????

I have to say I feel like I could do with hormone regulation at the moment. PMT was really bad the last couple of days and everything was just magnified like 1000 times! Yet another reason to get pg! (As if I needed another!)

Hi Ses

the clear circle dots are ones where you haven't taken your temp at the same time that your default is set to.

Vitex is agnus castus - it's a herb that's meant to regulate hormones.

Yay! Back on laptop so could finally update list!

Could someone answer me a question about FF? Why are some of the points on the graph filled blue colour dots and others just the outline of a blue circle? Also what is the ideal length of LP?

Feeling a bit better today but really exhausted and still had to take painkillers for the cramps this afternoon. Here's to a May baby - would be nice

LBOT - more pros Can I ask what is Vitex?

Lou - I'm v impressed with your testing! You must be v strong as I don't think I could cope with the pressure each morning! Glad you are finding it fun though

BSOL - day with dvds sounds fab! What did you watch?

Have a good evening everyone!

lastbox sorry But as you say - it is great that your LP has increased, and the temps are consistently higher than in some of your previous cycles. The Vitex is obviously doing something, even though you have only been taking it a short while. Think how well it will be working by next month

Thanks guys. I guess there were more positive things about this month than negative.

Lottie I snooped at your chart earlier - it's looking good!

LBOT -

Lottie don't think there's much to see. I guess I did actually ov on CD16...which makes me very happy in some respects and very sad in others.

Pros
My LP is at least a day, maybe two longer!
I had lots of EWCM (albeit at the wrong time?!?!)
My pre-O temps were higher than normal
My cycle is back on track...I think
This cycle won't be unusually long - which I feared it would be if I ov'd CD22, 26 or later - which means that next cycle is right around the corner
My ov moved up two days

Cons
Well-timed BD didn't work
EWCM came after ov
my post-O temps were so low, I was questioning that I even ov'd!
and once again...well-timed BD didnt' work

Morning all,

I hope you had a good weekend, we had terrible rain yesterday - which was a good excuse to stay in watching DVDs

lastbox your cycle does look interesting, but whatever happens (as you say) - it is still great news that you seem to have had so much EWCM, great news for next cycle if this cycle is not successful. I remember you saying that the only other month you had so much EWCM was the month you last fell pregnant. What part of the cycle was it in then?

lottie Just had a quick look at your chart and you have made a great effort!! Well done on those morning sessions. It is all I can do to mumble good morning to my DH, I am NOT a morning person

lou Sorry to hear about your camping trip - better luck next time!

Hello sesqal and so sorry about AF. Just think how lovely a May baby would be

I am well....temps still low and I am just waiting for the big 'O' (and Ovulation...sorry - couldn't resist that )

If it's fun for you then, pee away! I find it nerve wracking!!!

I'm not sure of anything at this point. But I've just had some spotting, so that can't really be good My fault for poking for it, I guess...

LBOT- I know, but it's fun trying isn't it? Are you Sure fertility friend couldn't be right? Could that not be an implantation dip at 6DPO, and therefore possibly pregnant?

Morning all.

Still confused here...thought if temp stayed higher as it did yesterday then there was a chance that I ov'd later than CD16 as FF says. But temp went back down to 36.42 today... I have no idea what that means. At all. I'm totally stumped.

Anyway, how is everyone?

Lou LOL! Even if they're internet cheapies, you won't find out anything at all at 2dpo!

LBOT - don't worry, I am only using internet cheapies and 99p store tests (3 for 99p!). I wouldn't normally, but as I have yet to have a period following DD2, this is the first month I think I have ovulated, and I just wanted to make sure that if I am pregnant I find out as soon as I can!

Next month (if I don't get the result I want) I will wait until I miss a period.

Lou I just had a look at your chart - I think an implantation dip typically goes way below the coverline and then back up. I think your low temp might've been down to the cold - but I wouldn't fret about it! You're still way above your coverline!

...but have you been doing HPT's since the day you ovulated? Your going to pee yourself into serious debt!!! Not to mention how depressing it is to see a negative test According to FF, the most reliable date for a positive test is 13dpo.

It's so exciting

I so hope my CD24, 8DPO was an implantation dip and not a result of being in a really cold tent!

I just had a look and whether you ov'd on 18 or 19 you guys gave it your all this month! (and in the mornings too - impressive! ) My fingers are crossed so tightly for you, Lottie!!!! But what do my fingers matter when there are coins under the stairs!?!?

Well...Lottie someone mentioned it to me because she said those two are the ones that are most random/don't make sense. So I did take them out thinking those were the ones where I was adjusting to being on US time/weather - it was much hotter there. AND there were no negative OPKs around that time...

Oh, I don't know - it just sort of makes sense!
