Well I have no bloody idea what my chart is doing. It seems all over the place. Also I usually ovulated on day 14 which is today but absolutely nothing and the OPK came back negative.

Getting pissed off now. Decided that this would be the last cycle before I go to my GP to see what is wrong.

Fuckit.

Question from thicky me - what causes temps to drop due to implantation? Anyone got a simple answer? Ta.

kateepie2 · 02/02/2011 09:08

I think its something to do with temporary rise in oestrogen levels? Sure that's what I read anyhoo.

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3053f2

although Im not sure what it should stay like if pregnant, high obviously but does it go up and down?

Thanks ochaye for saying Im not past it!

mrsarch - say your temp drop, hope it is an implantation dip or you, and fingers crossed your temp will go back up tomorrow.

Hope AF hasnt arrived for you mrsden.

Sorry to hear you feel so rubbish auntiedoris.

kateepie2 · 02/02/2011 10:24

Oooh fingers crossed Newgold!

Newgolddream · 02/02/2011 10:26

Thanks kateepie.Smile
And that should be looking good not lokking good lol!

kateepie2 · 02/02/2011 10:29

In other news I have been up and down to the loo ALL morning. Just wanted to share that, lol.

Have only had my morning mug of tea and a glass of water and have had to wee 5 times already, and its only 10.30!

Newgolddream · 02/02/2011 10:50

Definately fingers crossed! I dont tend to have any early pregnancy signs at all, so symptom spotting is rubbish for me - but Im sure I did need to pee a lot.

mousebacon · 02/02/2011 12:25

Thanks digi and ochaye I've been thinking about starting running or swimming to tone up a bit. These 2 pregnancies have taken their toll Smile

kateepie2 · 02/02/2011 13:30

Just realised I have forgotten what tea should taste like... I've cut down to two per day as a precaution, but tea this morning was revolting, and just had another cup after lunch as an experiment and bleugh. Tastes of nothing and acidic at the same time, euw.

Good luck with the exercise mouse, get some endorphins into your system :)

ochaye · 02/02/2011 15:04

It's looking good kateepie2 ... some fairly strong symptoms too. What are you thinking? How long is your LP normally?

kateepie2 · 02/02/2011 15:23

Thanks ochaye hardly daring to hope really, but have been feeling sick on and off all day, and perfumes and paint smells have been really bothering me. LP usually about 14 days, so I should know within the next few days I guess.

ochaye · 02/02/2011 15:58

Good luck with it all ... I'll be checking up on you! I'm on boring cd3 so have to live vicariously through the rest of you Smile.

kateepie2 · 02/02/2011 16:03

ha ha, I approve of that! Perhaps you can keep your eye on my chart for me if you don't mind, this is my first month of charting so taking each day as it comes.

Ta Grin

weimy · 02/02/2011 17:10

katee it is looking good I think!I am not experienced though, def keeping fx ! :)

TerrysNo2 · 02/02/2011 18:09

katee thats a lot of post OV spotting you've had, is that normal for you? FX for you!

DH and I are back on the SWI wagon Grin Blush

weimy · 02/02/2011 19:36

terrys DH and I have just joined the once every other night wagon, I'm Cd 6, am on grapefruit juice and epo. Really got my fx for this month.

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 02/02/2011 19:41

OK guys, I'm confused.

Having mild cramping on and off and sore boobs. Then this afternoon went to the loo and lost a bit of blood. It was like af turning up - light flow. I reckon about a tablespoonfull and the toilet bowl was coloured bright red. I dispaired cos this means my LP is only 8 days and mine is normally 11 days.

After about an hour the bleeding stopped and my boobs are now more tender. I've also not got any of the ususal dragging cramping that turns up just after af arrives.
I've put it in as spotting on ff but it was more than that.

I know I'll just have to see what tomorrow brings but any thoughts. How much blood is 'spotting'?
This is all new to me!

kateepie2 · 02/02/2011 19:43

terrys actually had less than last two months, tiny bit in CM on Mon, and then a bit of brown this morning, but only first thing. Hopefully that means it is proper implantation spotting and not what I had before!

Thanks for all the crossed fingers Smile

kateepie2 · 02/02/2011 19:45

mrsa can't help I'm afraid as I'm fairly new to this myself, but if it isn't normal for your cycle, keep an eye on it - see what happens to your temp in the morning? FX!

ochaye · 02/02/2011 20:15

Lucky you Terrys! We'll not be far behind and this month, more effort!!!

essenceofSES · 02/02/2011 20:56

Hello everyone!

katee - I really think your chart and symptoms sound v promising! Fingers crossed!

MrsA - I'm not sure but could it have been an implantations bleed?

Newgold - temps do still go up and down a bit if pg so don't despair!

As for me, my chart is here
I'm also experiencing mild cramping (which could mean either BFP or AF so no use analysing!) but as well as that, for just over 24hrs now I have been feeling a cross between nauseous and lack of appetite. That's not like me and it really feels very similar to my experience of morning sickness with DS. I never got it this early though as I'm only 8dpo! I'm worried my body could just be messing with me!!

Newgolddream · 02/02/2011 21:14

Thanks essence, i think I will go off and look at some positive charts on FF, although that will probably set me off on a whole new level of obssessing lol.

Hopefully you are indeed experiencing early signs.
