A shiny new thread girls and hopefully we shall all get merrily up-duffed with sticky beans

*hope

IfAtFirst is the other BFP, I knew I'd lost one!

getdown i have no symptoms whatsoever....! boobs maybe a bit stripier, montgomerys which i already had but nothing other than a dull ache down below!

With my first pg i had the rock hard norks, stripes etc but as your body has already changed and not changed back fully i suppose the symptoms are not noticeable.

My second pg was a blighted ovum found at 12 weeks. If it sticks i will get to the docs early this time, for an 8 week scan if allowed.

Getdown, how many DPO are you now?

battery just read back... at your fumbling pigs tits!

That's encouraging Nix about lack of symptoms. I'm 12 DPO now. Think I will test on thurs if no AF. I suppose maybe my symptoms could be less because I've already had a DC? With the MC last cycle though, I had sore boobs before I tested though, so who knows.

Here's my chart GetDown's chart
Taken a slight dip today, but still above the coverline.

Hope your's sticks Nix. good idea to get early scan.

Not at all overly-stalked spilt nice to know you care

GetDown why are some of your temps squares?

Hi spilt I think it's where you enter additional data on the "specific" tab e.g. cramps, disturbed sleep etc. Sometimes they go white, sometimes they stay blue... haven't quite worked out why they do one or the other yet!

Ah fair enough.

Gah, stupid body!
I am still really wet - somewhere between creamy and congealed/sticky. But with a small stretch that then snaps and congeals

Also cervix seems high again.

I am very confused.

Please, body, don't be buggered, wait 10 years, I need you to work for now!

spilt your chart looks good, and def like you've ov'd. Not buggered at all!

I think you carry on getting a little bit of stretchy for quite a few days after ov... creamy, sticky, congealed.... yep all sounds like post-ov to me!

I think cervix can be quite confusing,. I don't rely on mine TBH as I get quite conflicting messages, and find it hard to judge high, med or low.

Just go with your OPK and chart which are looking good.

Thanks, that's reassuring.

I think I have got a bit carried away with reading TCOYF and seeing how in almost all charts the CM dries instantly after ovulation and the cervix goes straight back down. Course I got myself fretting about hormonal weirdness or delayed ovulation and all sorts.

I'm not taking my cervix seriously yet as I've not been doing it long enough to have experienced the full range, or be able to judge it reliably.

Hopefully I will be hot again tomorrow and get my crosshairs. Then I will feel happier. (And can have a shag!)

Actually it's probably bad manners to have a shag the day before a smear. Best not

I think you killed the thread with that comment spilt

Or not.....

Back from our third visit to A&E in 3 days, DS's limp is not sceptic arthritis . The worry only starts at TTC-ing!!

spilt my CM has been plentiful and varied since OV day - mainly creamy so thats why I know its diff (had no creamy before) but am having odd spots of slightly stretchy stuff too.

GetDown I hear every PG is different. I have my FX for you, I can't believe you haven't tested yet - you patient woman!!

I did wonder...

You must be knackered with all the worry and hospital visits. Have you got loads more appointments coming up for him too?

Yes sex before smear is probably not good You could always use a condom????

Terrys so sorry you have been at A&E again. Your poor DS! And poor you. There is nothing like worrying about your kids. My DH is normally a very sensible, calm headed kind of person, but when DD gets ill he goes into worry-overdrive! It's just natural I think.

I am a bit scared to test TBH.... While I've got no BFN there is still hope? IYSWIM? If I test now and get a BFN I will be gutted So am just going to put it off for a few days

for Nix's BFP!

I have had loads of creamy CM after ov but I always have has lots, even from before I went on the Pill (over a decade ago!)

Anyway, got a surprise when I temped this morning - Just when I thought it was all over, I'm back in the game!

coast when are you going to test?!?!

I was going to do it this morning but I went to the loo half-asleep so forgot! I might hold out until tomorrow and give it my full FMU best

Of course I am crampy and have been to the toilet 100 times today sure that AF has arrived - it really feels like it's coming. I am also not letting on to DH that I am secretly hopeful so have just secretly looked at my chart every five minutes too! Nothing like getting your hopes up, is there...

Looks good coastgirl. Sanity check - no boozing last night/sleeping in this morning? Hope you get your BFP tomorrow morning. It'll be the magic 14 dpo so there's a good chance the test will show by then. Here's hoping

GetDown sadly I think condoms are the way to go although they are the work of the devil. I could never test on a work morning. BFP would be too exciting, BFN too depressing!

Ooh coast, that looks good! Fingers crossed for tomorrow

xxx

X post spilt, hope you're well. How's work going? xx

No boozing last night (though I was sorely tempted - I decided that the rest of the bottle can wait until AF comes!) and I set the alarm to wake me up at the same time every day. I hardly ever get my four hours' uninterrupted sleep though as I wake myself up practically every night, which is one reason I am still cautious.

Getdown I can't believe you can hold out until Thursday! That's some willpower.

I am so excited about the BFPs' on here :) nix I am really pleased for you! coastgood luck for you tomorrow too :)

Well FF did not like my temp this morning - I think I was cooking over night and woke up an hour early. I was really restless for the last hour so I think that's why my temp was up.

Other than that life here is dull. I am off to germany on thursday so the flights better be on or I will have to kill someone :(

Hi all

I ahem joined this thread a little while ago and never posted again - I think I might be one of those annoying people who just pops up when they need advice and doesn't give much back....so sorry in advance I read it every day though! And congratulations on all the BFP's!

SO, I am on CD13. This is my 3rd month of temping. The first 2 months my pre ov temps were pretty static. Looking at last month, I can't shake the feeling there is a small possibility that I had a cp, and this month so far, my temps have been a bit all over the place although they seem to be settling down a bit now. In theory I should be ovulating any day now, but I have no idea if I'll be able to see this on my temps! CM signs are ok, but I've used opks for the first time this month and haven't had a positive yet....

Not sure exactly what I'm asking, but if anyone does have any thoughts I would be happy to hear.... [[http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/315af5

Thanks in advance

oooh coast its looking good girl..... back in the game i think so YES!

we wait with bated breath

Thanks battery its a bit of a shock, and now i am looking at my boobs and they are much more veiny than they already were and my nips seeem to have doubled in size! Hoorah, hoping pg boobs follow soon.

So do i keep temping considering i have MC?

Hi tory

Temps won't predict ovulation, they will just show you when it has occurred. CM is your best bet for predicting it. Looking at your previous charts you have ovulated 1-2 days after the "peak day" of most fertile CM, so given that you're recording EWCM today I would expect you to ov CD14-CD15, so temp rise showing on CD15-CD16.

OPKs can be a bit of a pain tbh, not everyone gets on with them or gets +ves. The LH surge they are looking for can be incredibly short so it's easy to miss even if you are testing daily. If your CM indicates you are fertile, go with that. Great if the OPKs confirm it, but if not, trust your body.

Good luck, keep up the SWI!
