mb this is the first month charting so I don't really know, but cycle normally 24/25 days, so I'm due on tmr. I guess I would have got a pos today if I was. :(

essenceofSES · 06/02/2011 06:26

A drop in temp to 36.55 and marginally above my coverline :(
Karbea - I'm like you, expecting AF now today or tomorrow.

tory79 · 06/02/2011 08:27

I had a massive temp rise today. It normally does rise a little bit on 12dpo, but this is the highest temp I have recorded so far apart from when I was ill.

hurry up tomorrow morning

Newgolddream · 06/02/2011 08:57

Morning!

tory79 - FX, your chart is looking excellent!!

MY AF is getting light so think it will finish today, maiking it 3 days on a 22 day cycle, please anyone do you think this is anything to worry about or normal, Im half convinving myself its not and dont want to go to the Doctor.

tory79 · 06/02/2011 08:57

I have just noticed that in fact it is NOT the highest temp I have recorded, just the highest temp for 12dpo, and in fact the more I stare at my chart overlay, the more it is clear that this month is following the exact same pattern as previus months! So I shall go back to waiting the arival of af.

As you were!

HarderToKidnap · 06/02/2011 10:10

tory, your chart is looking fantastic!

Newgold, I'm not sure whether it is a problem. I also have very light periods and am worrying about it. I think it probably isn't a problem though, just something else to worry about.

CD11 - [[http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3161d7
my chart]]. Not much happening although a weird temp rise this morning - I did have a Wine last night though.

ravenlocks · 06/02/2011 11:20

Morning!

Do you think it would be a good idea to have a list of chart stalkees? So when people get to 10DPO or so they can add their chart to it and then remove it if they get to CD1 or graduate? Links don't C&P though so would need to add the square brackets each time... Might not work, I know being list free is good sometimes!

mousebacon · 06/02/2011 11:35

Sorry essence and karbea it's gutting when you've dared to hope I know.

Good luck tory - fingers crossed for you.

at raven HTK and newgold

essenceofSES · 06/02/2011 12:31

Thanks mouse. Feeling sorry for myself and not helped by the fact we're on our way to a party where the hosts have just announced they're 12wks pg and another friend will have her 10 day old DS2 there. I hate these jealousy / wallowing feelings and need to snap out of it!!

Raven - I agree a list of charts would be good for stalking!
When I was on the temping thread when ttc DS, we set up a 2nd thread which didn't have chat, just links to charts and then all clicked on "watch" so that we could see it easily in "Threads I'm Watching". That solves the c&p issue. What do you think?

ochaye · 06/02/2011 13:09

raven - great idea about having a list ... and I agree essence, if we put it in another thread it'll work. I'm just never sure if I'm missing someone!

Good luck to anyone who's considering testing. We've started SWI again. Way ahead of ov time but I prefer to just go for it the whole way through Grin.

essence, I found out today that an old work friend is 17 weeks pregnant. I'm delighted for her but gutted all the same. I think it's normal x

kateepie2 · 06/02/2011 14:46

Hello ladies,

I had a mild coronary yesterday as second HPT seemed to be a BFN, however it did come up with a faint line (DP thought I was seeing things and was worried).

Pleased to report that there is a definite line today, did two different brands and though still thin, its there. Still feeling pukey too, which has been an effort to hide from the in laws (though they may have put 2+2 together from my sudden liking for chamomile tea and lack of drinking).

Not looking forward to work next week, there's still a possibility that AF may show up tues/thurs, so won't feel happy til at least friday... will be peeing on sticks daily!

How has your weekend been folks? :) happy swi-ing!

essenceofSES · 06/02/2011 19:59

katee - Glad your lines are getting stronger! The rollercoaster just continues even after the BFP doesn't it! Hope everything goes smoothly for you.

ochaye - good luck with the SWI Grin

If it's ok, I'll have a go at starting a thread for chart links. I'll then post a link here to let you know!

essenceofSES · 06/02/2011 20:04

Here for the charts thread

Mine's not looking so great at the moment so hope to see some more positive ones there soon!

ochaye · 06/02/2011 22:03

Thanks for the charts thread essence. I hope af stays well away!!

I've made a suggestion on the thread ... but if it's rubbish, please feel free to ignore!

essenceofSES · 06/02/2011 22:06

ochaye - I've just seen and it works well :)

Tbh I can't see how AF will stay away with the temp drop I had this morning. On the other hand, I've been having feelings of lack of appetite / nausea again today. I found myself eating Hovis crackers this afternoon to help.

I keep telling myself it is my body playing cruel tricks as my temp was practically on my coverline. I guess I'll wait for tomorrow's temp and to see if AF comes.

ochaye · 06/02/2011 22:40

Well I hope she stays away. You just never know!

There's a flaw in my chart list plan as you'd have to retype the list each time with all the links. I'm wondering if there's a better way. Will have to have a think.

essenceofSES · 07/02/2011 07:38

Well, as feared, CD1 for me :(
Either I did a v good job of imagining symptoms or my body was being particularly cruel!
Hope everyone else is ok

mousebacon · 07/02/2011 07:42

Sorry essence cd2 is always a better day. Take care x

kateepie2 · 07/02/2011 08:17

Morning! Sorry ERTD got you essence. Sad

Line steadily getting stronger, so keeping fingers crossed for this week, still feels sooo early!

I shall be chart stalking! Smile

tory79 · 07/02/2011 12:20

So, question. How invisible can an invisible line be? I caved this morning, and I wouldn't say there was a line, but there wasn't NOT a line either? (if that makes sense) There was no colour to it whatsoever, and I am still not convinced that I haven't just imagined it.....

ravenlocks · 07/02/2011 12:35

OOOh Tory if the line isn't invisible then it is a line. If there is no colour it might be an evap line - which brand did you use and how long until it appeared (or didn't not appear!)

kateepie2 · 07/02/2011 12:36

Makes sense to me tory I would wait a few hours (or till tomorrow morning maybe) and try again. My first test on Friday was neg, tried again at lunchtime out of boredom and got a line, hairthin, and looks almost like an indentation in the test... I compared it to the BFN and that was totally white in the test area.

I had to keep looking to make sure I hadn't imagined it! What brand is it?

ravenlocks · 07/02/2011 12:42

Ochaye posted on the charts thread - might have a solution...

Karbea · 07/02/2011 14:50

My temp shot up again this AM, did a test BFN... so now patiently waiting for AF (I guess Confused

kateepie2 · 07/02/2011 15:03

Maybe, maybe not? If there is a little bean in there it takes time to produce the hcg, so give it a couple more days, your temp should let you know what's happening I guess? Good luck!
