Thank you everybody!

Just been reading back through the thread and laughing at jaggy?s interrupted SWI! Glad DH hadn?t gone to sleep. Smile

AuntieD, sorry for your negative. There is still time though, FX for you.

mrsden, we started trying last May so this was cycle 9. I have got sore boobs but it is a mystery to me whether this is a pg symptom for me! I?ve had them on other cycles which were unsuccessful, although I wonder if they might have been chemical pgs. Anyway, no other symptoms as yet.

Thanks tory, FF gives my due date as 25th October. I should think docs will come up with a different date for me too because don?t they base it on a perfect 28 day cycle which I am not!

terrys I didn?t expect it to be so soon either! Hmmm, I had a look at your chart and I?m just not sure. I think you?re right to leave it as CD19 so you don?t get your hopes up too early like you said.

Thanks newgolddream, of course I don?t mind you asking about SWI. We actually had quite a feeble attempt this month and we managed 2 days and 5 days before ov and some before that but outside of the window. Pathetic huh?! I was feeling so miserable after last month that I didn?t have the energy to put in the usual effort. When I had a BFP last summer I distinctly remember that we didn?t do too much SWI as it was too hot so maybe less frequently is best for us! FX this one sticks though.

Glad you?re having some good symptoms iwish, it must be very reassuring!

Hello getdown, I?ve been following you all on the grads thread so knew you were worried. So glad that you had a scan and it was all good.

Wow, I think I?ve just written an essay!

Good luck to everybody. X

Truffkin · 16/02/2011 18:32

Also popping in to add my congratulations to everyone elses for MrsP lovely to have another BFP.

Also, Terry's I'd be inclined to agree with FF on day 19 as your temps on the previous days don't look significant enough to indicate OV the 2 days prior to that. I'd stick with CD19 for OV (and your reasoning is as good as any!)

I'm now CD4 of cycle 9 and a bit Hmm as ovulation time this month coincides with a big trip to Wembley for DH's football team. This means that not only will he be spending most of the weekend either in the pub or at Wembley, we will also have a house full of blokes staying too! I am trying to work out a way for this to work as I simply cannot bear the thought of wasting a month of TTC.

Iwish · 16/02/2011 19:26

Yeh mrsp very reassuring but feel like crap lol. Makes me happy tho in a weird way. Will you be joining us on the grads thread?

Oh congratulations MrsP!

Folicacid · 16/02/2011 19:51

Congrats MrsP! :)

jaggythistle · 16/02/2011 19:51

was doing my best to be amusing and lighthearted last night Grin

just putting DS to bed, touch wood he seems to be a lot better, hopefully he'll be back to better sleeping soon. hope yours is better soon too terrys

not sure if it is a good idea swi so many days in a row before ov, can't be much worse than the last few attempts though!

i think some people have had success with lots of swi and some with a little, so could go either way. :)

good luck everyone who is swiing or waiting to test.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 16/02/2011 20:15

COngrats MrsP Grin x

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 16/02/2011 20:19

oops posted a bit to quickly there! Well finally, I am CD1..!!!!!! Which came a a bit of a surprise as I've had no pre-AF symptoms (typically, the day a chose to wear one of the few pairs of white knickers Blush). I feel a huge sense of relief and a bit of excitement now! Grin

weimy · 16/02/2011 20:36

ifatfirst glad you are feeling excited, it is good to be able to move on. :)

I've got AF cramps a whole week early :(

ochaye · 16/02/2011 22:29

Just a quickie ... big warm congratulations MrsP. What lovely news!

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 17/02/2011 07:22

MrsP huge congrats! How amazing

Ifat glad things can get back to normal.

I'm currently away with work so can't link chart but it is on the seperate
thread list we started. Can someone help. I'm on cd 13 and normally ov cd 23ish but ff has given me crosshairs!
It can't be right. I've hads some strange temps but put it down to a few drinks and working away.
Very bizarre.

ochaye · 17/02/2011 07:59

Hey MrsArch - I expect FF is confused. Try not to worry. I think as the month goes on it'll all work itself out. Make sure you mark up when you've been drinking or have temp'd at the wrong time and things.

HarderToKidnap · 17/02/2011 08:09

Can anyone look at my chart for me and see what they think?

[[http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3161d7
]]

Got my crosshairs today and FF is saying I OVed six days ago on day 16. I have been OVing pretty regularly on day 21 for months (or maybe not OVing, but certainly getting positive OPKs and then coming on reliably two weeks later on day 35). Looking at my chart I can't understand why it isn't giving me day 19? And as for doing my progesterone blood tests, should I take day 16. day 19 or day 21 as OV day?

jaggythistle · 17/02/2011 08:26

Harder try taking out the negative opk result?

jaggythistle · 17/02/2011 08:27

it is also probably taking into account the W CM you have recorded.

I'm no expert - just guessing!

essenceofSES · 17/02/2011 08:39

Morning everyone!

MrsA - I've discarded the couple of temps the morning after I've had a few drinks this month and it makes my chart look much more even. It could well be a bit skewed to your circumstances this month.

Harder - I agree, if you take out the -OPK, CD19 does look more likely for ov

My questions of the day is this.... I normally get my first high on CBFM on CD12 and then ov around CD18. I seem to be 2 days ahead this month which is unheard of - I've had a high on CBFM on CD10 and 11. Could this be due to the lovely back massage I had for my birthday treat on Tuesday? Do you think that could have boosted my circulation and metabolism and speeded things up? I think I may have to brief DH on a revised SWI plan!!

ochaye · 17/02/2011 10:23

I have already started wondering if I'll get a bfp this month and I haven't even ov'd yet. This is going to be a long month!

AuntieDoris · 17/02/2011 10:33

Urgh.

Feeling shit. Bad headache. Nausea. Almost chucked up breakfast. Feeling emotional and tired.

No AF.
Negative pregnancy test.

Shit.

jaggythistle · 17/02/2011 11:24

Me too ochaye! Shock be quiet brain!

Aw AuntieD that sucks :( Hope you feel better soon. (and get a big BF frickin P)

ochaye · 17/02/2011 11:25

AuntieDoris - I hope you're ok. The uncertainty is a killer. I hope you know one way or the other very soon Sad.

Newgolddream · 17/02/2011 12:34

Hi everyone

mrsp - thanks, just goes to show you it really does only take once, sometimes I get too obsessed that Im not having enough sex to get pregnant.

getdown - congrats on the good scan, fingers crossed for a sticky wee bean there for you.

ifatfirst - glad youre feeling ok and positive

mrsarch - not sure but I do know FF can and does often change ov day , it reinterprets data as you go along and often changes mine.

harderto kidnap - maybe the neg opk on CD19 means you ov then but surge would have shown a positive the day before?

Auntied - sorry youre feeling so bad.

Well FF has def moved my ov from CD8, i worried that was too early and now I havent ov - yet - on CD14 today that I worry its too late (as Im normally CD11), cant win lol!!!

Just did a opk, and the line wasnt as dark so not technicaly psoitive but it came up right away and is nearly as dark (internet cheapie) so I reckon I will need to get some swi in there tonight now!!!

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 17/02/2011 13:45

auntied I didn't get bfp till cd 42 with DD so hang on in there. Are your temps still up? Let's hope bfp or af turns up, at least youl know!

AuntieDoris · 17/02/2011 14:06

Hello AF.

Goodbye hope.

:(

weimy · 17/02/2011 14:13

Auntied I'm so sorry. :( xxxxxx

essenceofSES · 17/02/2011 14:18

AuntieD - :(
Rally sorry AF got you. I guess at least you know now but that's not much consolation I know.

ochaye and jaggy - I think I need to join your club for those imagining their BFP before they've even ovulated!

NewGold - don't worry about CD14 being too late. I'm normally CD18 and still get an LP of 12 days usually.
