Evening all

Just tried to have a catch up! Smile

Congrats digital

Sorry about your temp drop mrsa I'm having spotting issues myself. I don't really get it either?! Confused

Sounding promising kateepie2 keep us informed.

Before I disappear off back to my sulking corner, a quick update.

I'm 4 days late (given my longest cycle has been 32 days in the last year).
Sorry if TMI, but been spotting since Monday. POAS this evening and BFN. I bet AF will arrive with vengeance anytime. I'm Sad and Confused . Why does my body decide to play up while TTC?

Any thoughts on my chart greatly received. Sad

essenceofSES · 02/02/2011 21:48

mslk - just had a quick look at your chart and wondered when you normally ovulate? Is it usually around CD25? You are 10dpo and so AF or BFP may still arrive in the next couple of days.

mslk · 02/02/2011 21:57

Thanks essence, tbh I don't really know. This is my first chart temping. Last cycle I used opk's and that suggested i ov CD19. I think it's af being late that is throwing me, normally always between 27 -32 days. Tomorrow will probably shed more light one way or the other x

kateepie2 · 02/02/2011 22:01

mslk your temps are going down a bit, but still well above the coverline. wondering if it is a coincidence that the spotting happened the day after your one day temp dip... so may be glimmer of hope yet. If you had implantation 4 days ago, depending on your hpt you may not have produced enough hcg to show up on a test? So maybe try again in a day or two? All I can suggest, sorry xx

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 02/02/2011 22:30

Bleeding still stopped and no other weird things so far. Boobs seem to be more temder or is that just my wishful thinking?

mrslk our bodies can be unkind. Temping is one of the only ways to know if you've ov - looking at your chart and assuming a lp>10days, you're probably not officially late yet.

Your ov day can fluctuate. As soon as we started swi, my ov day moved from cd 18 to 25 - 27!!

digitalgirl · 02/02/2011 22:45

mslk you're only 10dpo, the rules are if you test early it must be with fmu as that's when the hormones are highest. It could be an implantation bleed, but looking at your chart you might want to see what your temps do over the next couple of days.

mrsa v intriguing. I had that once and tested 7 days later and got a bfp. Just sayin.

katee lovely chart! You testing soon?

Good luck to swi'ers.

jaggythistle · 02/02/2011 23:10

at least taking my temp tomorrow will save on an hpt!

have pretty much resigned myself to a further temp plummet tomorrow. it's been a much more relaxed 2ww without early testing though. i may be cured!

good luck Mrsa Katee and everyone headed to the end of 2ww. happy swiing to those waiting for ovulation. :)

jaggythistle · 03/02/2011 05:17

as expected.

better swi effort and timing required i guess

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 03/02/2011 06:39

Well, not sure what to think. No more bleeding so far and boobs still tender. Temps crept up very slowly back over cl. Guess time will tell.
Better go get DD up!

Morning Jaggy
Do you always have such a lovely long LP?!

My temp has dropped a bit this morning but still above coverline by about 0.25. I'm on my phone so not sure if a link will work...
Try this

I'm 9dpo which was when I got my BFP with DS but I'm determined not to test yet!!

Good morning to everyone else!

essenceofSES · 03/02/2011 06:53

Sorry MrsA - cross-posted. Had a look at your chart and ISWYM. It seems to be another case of ok, let's wait for tomorrow's temp...

Oh and I'm not sure my link to my chart has worked. If no AF by Saturday, I may test then but NOT before!!

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 03/02/2011 06:54

Not that I'm obssessively comparing charts but I've found several where there was a small increase followed by large one.
I need a slap - I know deep down af will most likely arrive tomorrow.

Newgolddream · 03/02/2011 07:09

Well its not such a good morning for me, my temperature has plunged, so Im feeling like you jaggy. Its even below the coverline now, I know Im only 7 DPO but its not looking good.

jaggythistle · 03/02/2011 07:12

essence the charts on my homepage are the only ones i have ever done, seems to be turning out a regular 12?

i had not a clue what my cycle did before FF, it's most fascinating!

mslk · 03/02/2011 07:18

Thanks for your thoughts ladies.

Hope AF stays away jaggy

FX it's not AF for you mrsa and maybe implantation dip?

Wishing you luck essence

Have a good day everyone x

mslk · 03/02/2011 07:52

Hope it's an implantation dip New

Well, CD1 for me. So not a particularly long LP. Let's see what a full chart, this cycle, brings.

Thanks for all your help and advice ladies. I'm off to hide under a rock for a while!!. I'll be watching for those BFP's though xxx

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 03/02/2011 08:00

newgold at cd7, unless you have a very short LP, it will probably be a surge of oestrogen (can't spell). That can be a implantation dip or sadly, many non pg charts also show dip.

So it's early days for you. Don't give up!

kateepie2 · 03/02/2011 08:21

Morning ladies.

Commiserations to those on CD1, FX for this cycle x

I tested this morning using a 10miu internet cheapy and got a firm BFN... however, since brushing my teeth made me all but throw up and I have been trying to keep hold of my breakfast all morning, I shall test again tomorrow and hope for better result! 10DPO so guessing test likely to be neg, even if it might be hcg making me want to hurl? Thoughts please! No more spotting today either, so already different from last two months (was relatively heavy then).

Here is my chart, seems remarkably even (within .1 of a degree) last few days...

Good luck mrsa and newgold

Iwish · 03/02/2011 08:31

Morning all! Hope you are all ok.

Just popping on for a bit of chart stalking.

Congrats to strawberry!!

((hugs)) to mslk cd1 sucks x

mrsa I'm glad your temp has crept back up and am hoping the bleed was implantation.

Fingers crossed for everyone in the 2ww. I'll continue to stalk you xx

Morning,

AF arrived this morning so it's on to cycle 8 for me. My cycle length was 31 days and my LP was 15 days. Is this a normal sort of length? I read somewhere that LP is always 14 days but surely this isn't true.

I'm going to have a proper read through all the posts in the thread from today a bit later, so will check back in then,

Not sure if anyone is close to testing, but good luck if you are. And if anyone else has woken up to the arrival of AF then just think of that big glass of wine waiting for you tonight. And I've booked in to get my hair dyed on Sat so there are some positives (although admittedly I'd much rather be celebrating a BFP)

x

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 03/02/2011 09:48

Sorry af arrived Mrsden It's truly shite.
Enjoy your wine (I recall reading the not getting hair dyed when pg thing isn't true)

If af arrives, I have a Cosmo with my name on it for Saturday night. DP is a wicked cocktail maker Grin
It's the not knowing for me atm but not brave enough to test. I MAY consider it tomorrow am if nothing changes.

And mrsden LP varies for everyone. Mine is 11-12 days but I ov late (cd25+) so I have long cycles.
Ov day can fluctuate but LP rarely does.
So your 15 day LP is excellent - less than 10 days and there may not be enough time for bean to implant.

Nothing more to report so far. Slightly achy around ovaries again and mild cramping but that could be pg or af!

mrsden · 03/02/2011 09:58

Thanks mrsA. I have read so much stuff on conception that I can't remember what is true and what isn't. And now I've just read on another thread that peas are bad for fertility Hmm

I know what you mean about the not knowing. I had spotting and cramps on Monday, nothing on Tues and then a little bit of spotting yesterday so I was confused. But my temp dropped yesterday so I knew really that the game was over. But there is always a little bit of hope until AF turns up. I hope that AF stays away for you.

kateepie2 · 03/02/2011 11:29

Nope, peas are good for your fertility as they contain manganese and promote healthy oestrogen production! Might be best eaten prior to ov then?

kateepie2 · 03/02/2011 11:31

Having said that, lots of sites seem to say to avoid them, along with soy and rhubarb... WTF?
