Grin hooray for ladyggg!!! Grin

Hope this one is a sticky one for you!

batteryhen · 15/11/2010 16:16

ladyg hooray hooray:)

I am really pleased for you xx heres hoping you have set off a trend on this thread!

Well FF said I ovulated on Friday, slow rise in temp and then today my temp shot up and had more EWCM today - what is going on? I did however get ov pains last Friday - so I will see what AF does, when it arrives.

I was going to put my chart on for you all to stalk but am rather embarassed Blush at my lack of SWI, but it is only because we don't see each other often:( life would be easier if we lived together - but there may be good news on that front and should know more this week.

Other news is that I had a pelvic scan today - all looks normal, small fibroid, but nothing to say why I have MC twice, so will wait and see what my gp says.

Hello to everyone- hope Monday wasn't too dreadful :)

LadyGoneGaga · 15/11/2010 16:18

Oh put it up, battery. Grin

batteryhen · 15/11/2010 16:27

ok :( but you are not all to laugh :(

ps.how do you do it?

batteryhen · 15/11/2010 16:39

here

Let me know if you can see my poor excuse for a chart

batteryhen · 15/11/2010 16:53

again

have tried again to include SWI pathetic efforts. FF rates my chances as 'low'this month...REALLY???? even I realise you have to have sex to get pregnant Blush

LadyGoneGaga · 15/11/2010 17:11

Aw hon. Well you never know but agree doesn't look like your month. I have my fingers crossed for you that you will get some good news on the living together front!

batteryhen · 15/11/2010 18:05

I will keep you posted,I am just pleased that I appear to have ovulated - 3 weeks to the day of my ERPC- my last MMC went on for months - bleeding for 9 weeks and not having a period for another 4 after that so I am glad I seem to be getting back to normal quicker this time xx

TerrysNo2 · 15/11/2010 19:14

battery you can make it so your public chart doesn't show SWI-ing. I am quite a private person so not used to talking about SFF let alone SWI so I don't show it!

I'm pleased your cycles are sorting themselves out quicker.

Truffkin · 15/11/2010 19:34

Just popping on to congratulate LadyGaGa on todays' result! Am hoping I can join the August ante natal group in a few weeks time so maybe you are holding out for me Grin Wink Really hoping for a nice sticky bean plus 8 uneventful months to come.

Nice work on the ovulation Battery a definite thermal shift there. Hopefully you can plan well next month and fingers crossed for good house move news.

Fingers crossed for you too Terrys this might be a good month for the charters Grin

Only 5DPO for me so will be a while before I test. Ideally I'd like to wait until CD 32 as I have longer than average cycles and would rather know from AF than a BFN but as we're away for a long weekend from CD 32, I'm kind of hoping I can wait (if no AF) until after that weekend so I don't have to either put on a brave face or keep the excitement from showing - we shall see!

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 15/11/2010 19:50

Congrats Lady, am really pleased for you Grin

I'm also 5DPO, and so far am very relaxed about it all - give it time..... Grin

mousebacon · 15/11/2010 19:56

Yaaaay!!!!! Congrats lady I'm thrilled for you! And a little bit Envy but hope this is the start of our positive results!

Wishing you a happy and healthy 8 months ahead xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

TerrysNo2 · 16/11/2010 09:31

I am at a loss, too early to SWI, too early to symptom spot. What shall I do with my life now?!!? Grin

Oh, but my chart is looking very neat - look!!

Vics79 · 16/11/2010 11:50

Hi girls, sorry to invade your discussions, I hope you don't mind, but I wanted your opinion. I have been charting for 4mths since my m/c. My period is coming 2 days earlier than it use too but my question is, if my temp clearly rises on day 16 but then drops on day 26 but I don't get my period until 10pm that night...can I count that day as part of luteal phase? Or is it wishful thinking to think that's an 11 day luteal phase?!!!

spilttheteaagain · 16/11/2010 12:58

Hi vics

If my period started at 10pm then I would usually be asleep and not realise until the morning, so would record it as having started in the morning. It may be cheating slightly, but if the last day of your LP lasts for 22 hours rather than 24 it's still practically a day isn't it?

OP posts:
Vics79 · 16/11/2010 14:00

Hi spiltea, thank you, I do like your thinking - 11 days sounds so much better than 10 for some reason..!

spilttheteaagain · 16/11/2010 14:13

I know, I would love an 11 day LP! Mine's only 9-10 so I know how much an extra means to you Smile

OP posts:
spilttheteaagain · 16/11/2010 14:15

an extra day I meant

OP posts:
Vics79 · 16/11/2010 15:41

Is there anything you are doing to try to lengthen it? I saw a doctor yesterday at a private clinic and he said my 9/10 days really wasn't usual...it was as if he had never heard of a short LP before. grrr - some Drs aren't very reassuring but i go back in a few weeks to disucss.

LadyGoneGaga · 16/11/2010 15:49

I know you can take a Vit B complex that is meant to help with a short luteal phase.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 16/11/2010 17:23

Temp has remained exactley the same over three conecutive days ??????www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2de1f3 Hmm - I hope my BBT isn't kapput!!

TerrysNo2 · 16/11/2010 18:48

Mine has stayed virtually the same for 5 days Ifatfirst!! www.fertilityfriend.com/home/terrysno2Here

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 16/11/2010 19:05

Evening ladies. I am 8 DPO and temps going up but nothing unusual there. I did have some spotting this morning - very pale pink and watery. Nothing more but is there anyway AF might arrive without a temp drop? Perhaps i've nicked myself with my nail Blush
Have felt quite crampy all day too.
Chart here

DD is full of a terrible cold so full nights sleeps are just a memory - poor love, she can't breathe through her nose.

Hi Vics79. I agree that if AF arrives just 2 hours before the end of the day, you can probably include that day in the LP.

My LP is 10-12 days, so I understand your worry but I think most implantation takes place between days 7 and 9 (I could be wrong). I take Pre natal vitamins (Sanatogen mother to be) and it includes a high dose of Vit B6.

I'm also about to embark on acupuncture, which is supposed to help balance out hormones. My 1st appt is on Thurs [nervous emoticon]

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 16/11/2010 19:31

oooh MrsA that sounds promising. I'm only on 6DPO and I'm desperatly trying to see if I can see pink CM Blush

LadyGoneGaga · 16/11/2010 19:36

It's good, MrsA. And not scary/hurty. You'll love it. I've booked another appt for next week as want her to help try and support the pregnancy. And the cm sounds promising.

I feel your pain MrsA and Ifat, the TWW just goes soooo slowly while waiting.
