FedupwithTTC I'm very sorry to hear about your MIL. In my experience, 'crying for no reason' is crying for a very big reason that you can't keep in the box. The tears leak out whenever they get the opportunity, which is just as well, as they flood otherwise. Big hugs for you chicken.

I am determined to get a good night's sleep tonight, so have to read and dash but I just wanted to say a big 'that's so shit' to getdown and spilt, redundancy is a horrible thing to be faced with. Really sorry.

Bored bored bored with my cycle at the moment. We'll start up the SWI fairly soon I guess, but I tend to leave it quite late as we battle the mechanical sex aspects too. Think it's inevitable. I'm not using my CBFM this month - it's my feeble attempt to 'relax' a bit over Christmas. Hmm

Hi all.

battery maybe this random cm is a good sign for you? :).
£325! flipping eck! My parents took their dog last year as she got hit by a car and had to have her hip sorted out and it cost £1400!!

Well FF says I OV'd cd10??! Could this be because I had a v high temp as I woke up with a cough - looks like the start of a cold :(. I havnt even had a +ve opk yet and only just getting watery cm the past couple of days. my chart

How is everyone else?

spilttheteaagain · 16/12/2010 11:49

Iwish your temp today is high enough that I would mark it as "fever" given that you aren't well. Then FF will ignore it. The dashed lines mean it's not sure anyway.

Looking at all your other data CD10 is nonsense as your cervix is LFC then and has got higher and more open now. Also fertile CM only starts on CD11. I reckon todays temp is a rogue and needs ignoring and it looks like you are just about to ovulate so do some SWI! Grin

For my lunch today I am having a big bowl of roast potatoes with apple sauce, gravy and lots of salt. And a bacon sandwich for starters. I have gone a bit mad for crispy fatty potatoes of the chips/roasties/crisps variety! I remember this from last time...

(thanks ladybeenkissing, tis a pain in the arse)

Thanx split that's fab. I have input fever and it seems to have discarded it. SWI again tonight then Xmas Smile. DP had a rest last nite so back in full swing tonight hehe.
My word you are having some lunch! Good on you girl get that bean fed.

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 16/12/2010 14:11

Oh god split I'm having cottage cheese and flatbreads for lunch. I need to swap with you!!!

CD 24 today and still no temp rise. But, am trying to stay positive. i keep getting faint opks and had small amount of EWCM this morning and just now (discarded this morning's as we used pre seed last night with mechanical SWI).

It's more clear than last cycle though - definitely not ov. Last cycle was a pain cos my temps crept up and I didn't know if I had or hadn't. SWI every other day seems to be really working for us as even though both tired and mechanical last night, we still felt OK as we get a night oiff tonight!

Looking back at my SWI and cycles in 2007 (TTC No 1 but wasn't charting but did note on my calendar when af arrived and when we swi), my cycles then were sometimes longer than usual and if I am generally a late ov, then I reckon we got timing wrong most of the time. I always assumed everyone ov by CD20, yet when we conceived DD, AF arrived on 2 Dec but I didn't get bfp till CD42 and I reckin I ov on CD25 or 26, given my data.

I also think I may have had a MMC in May 2007. I had a 56 day cycle and I don't remember doing many HPT (obviously did some but perhaps I gave up too soon). I didn't get a stong +ve with DD till CD46.
The cycle following the 56 day one was then a 42 one. From what I've been reading here that could have been a wtf cycle perhaps?

I guess it doesn't matter now but I'm amazed how little I knew back then and I've passed lots of academic exams!!

Sorry for mememe - one of those days

Oh and chart here

Hugs to all, especially fedup.

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 16/12/2010 15:15

Sorry Getdown I couldn't resist...

Brand new thread HERE

See you there!

Hello fellow chartees, things are just starting to get interesting - got first bit of fertile-ish looking CM today. Coincidence that it was the day after my first swig of grapefruit juice?
Who knows.

Anyway thought I'd start by putting my chart up in the new thread.

chart here

Hi Franjam when I looked at your chart, my first feeling was that I thought you OV on day 16, I know you noted EWCM a couple of patches after, I quite often get what looks like it about 4dpo and also just before my period and I think that TCOYF does mention this is possible because of estrogen surges at these points. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it - feel free to ignore Grin

GetDown sorry I missed your birthday darlin' here have belated birthday cupcake from me. And a tuneless 'Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to yooooouuuuuuuu, Happy birthday to you!'

Iwish urgh, I hope you don't get the cough, it's what I've had most of the week and it's not pretty. I'm quite pleased to be getting over it now just in time for the SWI zone.

Mouse I am more DOOMED. I did a small bit earlier in the week and then have nothing more. I am seriously panicking.

StNix re the antibiotics, that's a hard thing to have to do, but you know that if you didn't and the worst happened you would always suspect the infection. I am just crossing fingers that everything goes safely for you.

Terrys I will repeat it. Those tests cause so much heartache for precisely this reason. Don't rely on them. You are pregnant and have no reason to believe that anything has gone wrong.

Wow, Izz your charts are really showing an amazing progression in terms of OV pulling back into a more normal timeframes. You're looking good lady, well done. I hope DH & I do half as well.

Battery I take as soon as I wake up, no matter when that is. Don't know if that's right or not. Sorry about the spate of pregnancy announcements.

MrsA You could have caught the tail end of the LH surge, or it could have just been strong enough to prompt an egg to pop out quickly? It's a good rise, but I guess you need to see what happens next.

Right better work out what work I still need to do before I forget about it completely for the weekend.

LadybeenKissingSantaClaus · 17/12/2010 22:10

huh! I seem to be linking to the old fred. Wonder how that got in there.

Boring chart here
