mrsden your chart looks lovely :) - another one to stalk

jaggy my mum knows we are ttc but dad knows nothing at all. Mum will be v happy but I think it's the roughy that my dad will know we were DTD (I know that's ridiculous) it will be both our parents first grandchild so it's exciting.

Shock at your mums 'I assume this was planned' lol!!

I don't know about any other charters out there but I didn't take my temp this morning as AF due today/tomorrow and I find it just as nerve racking taking temps in the morning around AF time as taking a pregnancy test - I find it so disappointing seeing that temp drop every month. Am i mad?!!

mrsden · 28/01/2011 12:24

I know what you mean angster I can't decide whether it is worse to get a BFN, a temp drop or for AF just to turn up. I hate these last few days because I know there is a chance I could be pregnant but after 6 months of being disappointed every time, I also don't want to let myself be hopeful.

angster · 28/01/2011 13:22

Totally with you...there is always a glimmer of hope but every single month it is dashed. Sad

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 28/01/2011 19:47

Hello! All gone quiet.....

hello. have found 2ww distraction. new favourite word in jaggy house is... again.

think we'll be busy.

tory79 · 28/01/2011 20:41

Hello everyone!

Congratulations Iwish and liberal helpings of hugs/wine/crossed fingers to everyone else depending on what you need!

3dpo and got my crosshairs today www.fertilityfriend.com/home/tory79
I ovulated much earlier than I was expecting, we almost missed it! I meant to start my opks on cd10, forgot, did one the next day, got a positive and ov'd that day!! I have used opks for the last 2 cycles, and both times I got 2 positives and then ovulated the day after the 2nd! And my previous earliest ov day was cd13, the last couple of months were 17 and 15, so this really caught me by suprise! Didn't even get round to using the pre-seed!

Does anyone know if EPO could have affected my cycle in this way?

Tory xx

weimy · 28/01/2011 20:42

Hi all!

Finally on CD1 but forgot to take my temp this morning. Have started on the grapefruit juice and epo and OH is kindly taking zinc. Feel like I am being positive/proactive.

Went horse riding today and this has made me think, do you have to stop as soon as you get pg?

angster that temp drop is poo isn't it!

Iwish have you told your parents yet?

Iwish · 28/01/2011 21:37

Thanks Tory :) and woohoo for your crosshairs!!

weimy sorry your on cd1. This will be your month :).
No we havnt told them yet. Not sure if I will wait till after the antenatal appt on 9th feb or if we will just tell them next weekend... DP is mega excited to tell his mum. Bless him.

Hope everyone else is ok?

morning all happy weekend!

Sorry for being quiet on here, been trying to distract myself during the 2ww and not get my hopes up.

I'm still disagreeing with FF and think I OV'd much earlier. CD32 here so very much at the end of my cycle range. Want to test tomorrow if temp is still up but have a feeling it will be to no avail. Think AF is going to strike imminently Hmm

MrsP81 · 29/01/2011 09:54

Morning everyone. Just popping in to say hello, I?ve been so busy I haven?t had time!

mouse, I?m glad that everything went as well as it could.

Sorry AF got you weimy.

tory, I have also started EPO this cycle and I have started to get EWCM much earlier than usual which I hope means I will ov earlier than usual. It?s been around the 21 day mark recently so I would love for it to move forward!

And glad to see that you?ve been getting more +ves iwish. Grin

And welcome to the new charters. Smile

mrsden · 29/01/2011 10:30

morning everyone,

mslk i just looked at your chart, maybe CD25 is an implantation dip? I've got my fingers crossed for you.

I am on 11dpo. Slightly lower temp this morning but only by 0.1°C so hopefully still in with a chance. I have swollen and sore boobs but that's normal for me just before AF. I also have some very slight cramps so it's possible that AF is on the way.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend, is anyone going to be testing soon? I am going to wait until Tues if AF doesn't get me first.

my chart

tory79 · 29/01/2011 11:35

MrsP how much EPO have you been taking? I was taking 1000mg per day, didn't notice any difference in ewcm, but maybe thats because I only got to use it for 11 days!!

ravenlocks · 29/01/2011 12:46

Hi all,

Been sulking a bit recovering from miscarriage. Trying to realx this cycle but not sure that is ever really ging to happen!

I know this is the WTF cycle, but SURELY I haven't ovuilated already. Only started temping yesterday and got a huge jump this morning. That would be even more of an upset that your shock early Ov Tory. Did you get enought SWI in??

I am sure it will turn out to be an anomaly. (I say hopefully, hadn't done any SWI, still spotting!)

My chart

Newgolddream · 29/01/2011 15:51

Hi everyone out there, welcome to new charters.

jaggythistle I think your chart is looking fab....

Mrsden - I want some of your energy please - looking at all your baby making efforts lol.

Iwish - hey huge congratulations!!!!

And hugs for anyone out there needing any xx

As for me FF says I ov on CD11, normal for me so probably right but Im still getting gallons of really thick EWCM - why?? And is it anything to be concerned about 5DPO??

Newgolddream · 29/01/2011 15:55

ravenlocks - sorry to hear about your recent mc

jaggythistle · 29/01/2011 16:32

Hi all.

Thanks NewgoldI could not feel less pregnant though haha! Or maybe I am being good and not symptom spotting...

fingers crossed of course :)

Don't think I got a congrats in Iwish, so here's one.

ravenlocks maybe your coverline will just be higher this cycle? I noticed you have a few coverlines at about 36.0, but some at 36.3. Next temp might be high or low :) good luck.

Newgolddream · 29/01/2011 17:25

jaggy if its any consolation I never had 1 single symptom at the start of any of my 3 pregnancies, not 1 bit of sickness, sore boobs nothing! (I think they were all saved up for later lol)

kateepie2 · 29/01/2011 19:15

Hi everyone :)

I am patting myself on the back as I have managed to keep busy today, keep off the computer (and therefore keep from obsessing on MN) and have been pretty much symptom free, proving that it is all in my (mental) head...
now, if I can just keep that up for the next week... Hmm

fx for all Grin

Iwish · 29/01/2011 19:36

Hi All!

Just nipping on for a little nosey and an update. :)

Have been doing some chart stalking and

Jaggy Thanks :) your chart is looking fab.

Digi your chart is looking great too!

Strawberry Have you refrained from testing today?

Newgolddream thanks for the congrats :). your chart is looking good.

Kat Well done for not caving lol! Its so hard.

Raven Hope you are ok huni x

HarderToKidnap · 29/01/2011 19:44

jaggythistle, your chart looks great! How high can temps go!

Started on the supplements today - bit annoyed as the 60 cap bottle came with instructions to take two a day! Was expecting the (very expensive) bottle to last me two months...

Can I ask, what supplement (if any) do people take? I am taking agnus castus and fertility for women tablets and DH taking fertility for men tablets.

Karbea · 29/01/2011 19:46

Hello

I ordered my wedding dress today Smile

All your charts are looking good, Strawberry did you test?

Here is my [[http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/332dc0

chart]] i'm now into the 2ww urghhhhh! no symptoms yet, but very early Smile

weimy · 29/01/2011 19:55

Karbea how exciting! :)

Harder conception supplements (tesco's) Epo, Grapefruit juice and DP now on zinc.

Jaggy, Mrsden & Strawberry Lookin good!!!!!

FX for a 2wwers!!!!

essenceofSES · 29/01/2011 20:57

Hello all! I'm loving how busy this thread is :)

karbea - how exciting about your wedding dress! When is the big day?

Harder - I just take the Sanatogen multivits and fish oil for use when ttc or pg. Have to remember to take my thryoxine as well! I think I'd struggle to get DH to take anything.

Jaggy - I agree, your chart does look promising...

Kat - I've had a similar day of distraction. I was working this morning and then playing with DS and cooking up a big casserole this afternoon. Work is so busy at the moment that I think I'll probably be distracted for a lot of next week too!

Iwish - yay for sore boobs!!!

Ravenlocks - hope you're doing ok. I guess it's hard to know about your chart. Will have to see what the pattern is over the next few days.

mrslk - fingers crossed for you!

mouse - hope you're doing ok too.

Hello newgold, tory, mrsden, MrsP81, MrsA, Strawberry, angster and anyone else I've missed.

Here is my chart
The second chart at the bottom of my homepage is from when I had my BFP with DS.
