i got 30 lol i can do atleast 2 a day :-)

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 29/05/2010 18:26

RESIST, RESIST!!!!!! lol

xkatyx · 29/05/2010 16:25

If you did the deed the day before it should be fine, sperm lives for days.

I have been steering away from the vino but if this month i have no luck sod it im going to have a few!!! To be honest i could do with a good night out to forget it all.

I got my cheapie tests through the post this morning, they are asking to be used lol but no point as my positive on my ovulation test only popped up on Tuesday so impossible even if i was pregnant.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 29/05/2010 15:32

I think I may have ov'd yesterday(temp went sky high this morning)which isnt good as it was the only day we didnt do the deed (went out straight after work and then both passed out on the sofa when we got in

I'm hoping it's just an error, beause of the vino last night and the fact that I hauled myself up to bed at 3am and took my temp at 6am so in theory, only got 3 hours undisturbed sleep!

xkatyx · 29/05/2010 14:44

This morning i got a 36.8 again, i have a thing on my iphone that sounds very similar to fertilty friend you add all symptoms and temps etc it is very good, i have just started using it.

I hope i wont need it next month but i can see it being addictive

8 days and counting till af is hopefully not due

how are you getting on?

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 29/05/2010 13:34

oooh, also have a look at the charters anonymous thread, there are some experts on there that may be able to help x

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 29/05/2010 13:33

It's difficult to say, what you need to do is take your temp on a daily basis so you can see what the average is, then on and after ov your temp will shoot up and stay up (and will remain high if you are pg)

Last month pre ov my temp ranged from 35.90 to 36.25
On & after ov they were between 36.40 to 36.75.
On CD28 it dropped right back down to 35.95 so I knew AF was due that day.

Have a look at www.fertilityfriend.com it's a great way to keep track of what's happening - it also encourages symptom spotting (not sure if that's a good thing) and gives you a % likleyhood of being pg based on your symptoms.

xkatyx · 28/05/2010 19:29

Ok i tried the one in the ear i got, 35.9, 36.0 the 35.1 lol so then i was digging about i found one you put under your tounge (i think) and got a 36.8??

What do you think as i dont have a sodding clue?

xkatyx · 28/05/2010 19:20

I dont have a clue about how good it is, i have only used it for the kids when they are poorly. i think im just driving my sekf nuts because i dont have a clue about temp charting.

infact im going to see now what my temp is see if does go up

Ill be back

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 28/05/2010 18:52

caija - hope everything sorts it's self out

katy, i do take my temps, and yesterday musnt have been ov pain as my temp hasnt gone up, so need to keep at it!

After ov your temp would increase, and stay up if you were pg. How specific is the thermometer you have? Does it give you to two decimal point?
Invest in a BBT thermometer, picked mine up in boots, theyre even cheaper online!

xkatyx · 28/05/2010 16:03

Oh caija so sorry to hear that, i hope you can sort things out.

On the wait now not sure if we still have to swi i got my positive on my ovulation stick on Tuesday?

I was kinda hoping we dont as i have had enough now lol

xx

caija · 28/05/2010 14:02

wooo hoo let the SWI comence.

Do you take your temos if so what do you use, i have a ear one and woundered if i was pregnant it would go up a litte?

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 27/05/2010 18:29

Well, I'm CD 14 and pretty sure I'm ovulating!
Had a faint OPK this morning and a very clear OPK this afternoon, and I'm getting cramps which I have NEVER experienced.
Just waiting for DH to get home

xkatyx · 26/05/2010 11:28

He was well and truely pounced on last night when he got home

and will be pounced on again before he goes to work!!! lol

5 days dont seam much but when your in mid flow it feels like forever, i told dh we have 3 days of it yesterday , today and tommrow, that should be enough i hope!!!

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 25/05/2010 21:02

You may still be OK, just make sure you pounce on him as soon as he walks though the door

Tomorrow is the start of a very active 5 days for us . Second month of charting so should be able to tell when I've ovulated, hopefully there won't be any delays this month!

xkatyx · 25/05/2010 19:37

I have done a few today and they are all strong positives, and hubby is working tonight so it will have to waot till tommrow do you think it will be to late?

Hows things going your end?

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 25/05/2010 19:21

If you feel up to it, and the infection has cleared up - go for it!!

They say you can ovulate anytime up to 48 hours after a positive OPK, so get yourself away - sharpish!

xkatyx · 25/05/2010 09:53

Oh no what do i do? i got a strong positive on my ovulation test .. shall i just go for it or wait all uti symotoms have now gone.

also when you get a positive how many days do you swi?

oh why cant this be simple.

xkatyx · 25/05/2010 08:37

I have got antibiotics (conception and pregnancy friendly)

prob will put me out for this month, i'm hoping we already got there so dissapointed though because its a another month!!!

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 24/05/2010 21:56

God xkatyx, youre not having a very good time of it are you?

Have you seen a doc? Is this going to knock your TTC out?

xkatyx · 24/05/2010 13:55

Oh no i have what seam's like the start of a urine infection

xkatyx · 23/05/2010 16:45

No i dont blame you, we are taking a more laid back aproach this month, once every other day and just hope it owrks, we tried the everyday approach last month and it didnt.

I'm a little worried that i wint fall pregnant i dont know why.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 23/05/2010 16:43

Think ov should be on Saturday, but not taking any chances!

xkatyx · 23/05/2010 15:59

Is that when you are ovulating?
