blimey digi that's some good effort with the SWI!

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 23/01/2011 09:48

Right I've given in and bought 3 monthss VIP

chart here

ff says I'm 9dpo, which is frankly, bollocks. I have ewcm and if I remove my temp from thurs I haven't ov but want to keep it in to see what it changes to once I have ov. I'm on cd24, so expect to ov anytime in the next 4 days.

Anyway, sorry AF got you izzy - hopefully you had a good old drink late night. Battery you're not out yet.

Morning all.

Terrys Sorry you've had a drop and aren't feeling positive, it could still go back up. X

Battery glad to see your temps have gone up a bit, I hope they continue to go up :) I hope you enjoy your lovely walk in the woods, bet that's so nice x

MrsA Ooh you've given in have you! Hope your egg turns up in the next couple of days x

Izzy Hope you are feeling a little better this morning and had some well required wine last night xx

Morning split x

Wave to everyone else :)

My temp took a rather large dip this morning, hope its not the start of a long ugly slide. chart

Bugger and blast, AF on her evil way got the usual stuff that precedes it.

FX for all those not 'got' yet, hugs to those who have been. :(

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 23/01/2011 11:21

Iwish hoping it's an implantation dip?
How do you get that great ticker at the top of your chart?

Iwish · 23/01/2011 11:39

weimy that's crappy, hope she doesnt show her ugly face, I think a lot of ladies still get usual af symptoms before a bfp. Fingers crossed for you still x

MrsA I'd love for it to be an implantation dip but I had a dip last cycle too but on 8dpo.
If you go to 'sharing' down the side and then 'tickers' you can customise your ticker. And where I've put my name you can go into 'sharing' and 'home page set up' and you can add in whatever you want :)

Well for the third time this cycle I am going to assume I am now in the 2ww. Temp is now at the highest it's been all cycle.
Finally FF has moved my ov day, still think it's wrong as cervix was open last night with more ewcm - although main cramping happened on Friday so potentially only out by a day or two. And looking at my overlay the Friday/Saturday temps seem to correlate to my usual reading on an ov day.

spilt why thank you! It has been an effort, am thinking to scale it down next cycle especially as DH's count is at the bottom end of normal.

mrsa we are nearly cycle buddies! Hope your egg comes soon.

iwish and terrys that temp drop doesn't mean anything yet.

izzy sorry AF came, hope today is better than yesterday.

weimy hope it's not what you think...

battery temp rise eh? Cramping stopped eh? Hmmmm...

weimy · 23/01/2011 13:47

iwish fx it is an implantation dip! :)

thank digi

just in case it is: how much epo should I take? Is it grapefruit juice or pineapple juice. What is the zinc for? Should I cut out caffeine?

jaggythistle · 23/01/2011 14:36

chart here

hello, temp up again. not especially accurate as i was out drinking then was up in the night. maybe had a couple of hours sleep before temp.

sorry about AF arrivals :(

not impressed with our swi rate this time, maybe next cycle will be better now that I have

discovered the possibility of fitting in a wee swi at any opportunity!

spilttheteaagain · 23/01/2011 14:41

weimy if you're taking EPO now then you ought to stop (best not to take in the luteal phase as it can cause mild uterine contractions). I wouldn't worry about caffiene until you have a BFP but the pregnancy guidelines are 1-2 cups a day max. If it doesn't bother you tastewise then switching to decaf means you can drink as much tea and coffee as you like whenever you feel like it. Fx for you and all the other 2ww-ers (so most of you right now it seems!)

Hoping for some October Charters babies Smile

weimy · 23/01/2011 15:25

Hi Split

Not taking it yet just thinking about taking once af comes as it's ugly head is rearing.

Keeping fx crossed for everyone!

spilttheteaagain · 23/01/2011 15:35

ah right, sorry, misunderstood. When I took EPO I was taking either 1000 or 1500mg a day (wish I could remember which!) and it made a massive difference to the amount of EWCM - DH noticed Blush

TerrysNo2 · 23/01/2011 15:40

Been snapping at DH all day. Surefire sign AF is on her way Sad

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 23/01/2011 16:26

DD currently sitting on the floor playing 'mousey' with 2 of mu unwrapped tampons Hmm
She grabbed them when I was doing an opk test, which looks +ve so am hoping 2 more nights of swi will sort us out!

ravenlocks · 23/01/2011 16:36

Hi everyone, like the new thread. Page 4 already!

Fingers crossed Terrys. Did look like you had a similar spike at the same DPO on your pg cycle.

Do you think you've ov'd jaggy?

Digi hope FF settles down, good SWI effort so hopefully you will be rewarded!

Sorry about the btch, Izzy*.

Karbea · 23/01/2011 16:53

Hello,

OH is home tonight yahhh!!!

Here is my chart I'm thinking I prob OV today (agree?) so, he will get jumped on as soon as he walks through the door!

Hope everyone has had a lovely day Smile xx

spilttheteaagain · 23/01/2011 17:01

Karbea looks like you are in the fertile phase (EWCM) so enjoy him! Keep up the SWI until you see a sustained temp rise, it's normal to have several days of the EWCM first though so might be a busy week Grin

Good luck!

mslk · 23/01/2011 17:13

Afternoon all , forgive me not name checking.

Sorry ERTD got you Izzy {hugs}. Hope it stays away for you weimy

Thanks for looking at my chart MrsP and battery

Hope your temps stay up battery, and Terrys hope yours do too and it's not what you think.

Hope your egg turns up soon MrsA and Grin at DD

Hope this is the 2ww for you digi

I had a missive dip Sat morning, probably because I set my alarm to take my temp and I was in a deep sleep. Been having more cramps and a bit of ickyness. But with the state of my chart I don't think it means anything.

Iwish · 23/01/2011 19:30

MrsA Grin at your DD, made me giggle reading that :)I like your ticker too, just bookmarked your chart for future stalking x

Karbea get SWI, we expect not to hear from you until you have erm, taken your OH upstairs Blush

Weimy i may try EPO too if this cycle isnt the one, tried grapefruit juice and got less EWCM than last month lol. ive been drinking pineapple juice since about 2 dpo but i like it so its ok :) Im keeping my fingers crossed my dip was implantation dip so will be stalking my own chart for the next few days :)

Digi im impressed with your amount of SWI! wish we could manage that much, DP hasnt even recouperated from SWI around OV and im now 7dpo Blush

Waves to Split Raven Terrys Izzy Jaggy Battery and anyone else ive missed. xx

jaggythistle · 23/01/2011 19:43

i would think so raven, was cd 16 last cycle so maybe same this time. will hopefully get crosshairs tomorrow.

i have my usual 2ww urge to obsess and look back through my charts and peer at the ff chart gallery. :)

even if no luck this cycle i am feeling a bit more positive for next one. as i went on about before, my libido has been rubbish and i feel I've turned a bit of a corner now. hopefully I'll be a bit less anxious now and swi less of a chore!
i was getting really stressed and obviously DH was a bit neglected.

will do some stalking later, am on my phone and the chart pics don't always load.

just trying to settle DS for bed. bit worried what my boobs will be like tomorrow, he's been struggling to eat with this bug and bf loads yesterday. he had a few extra feeds today too, hope my body doesn't overproduce while I'm at work!

he seems nearly better now, touch wood. only eaten about a third of his usual amount of food today though. have been glad of bf to get something into him.

jaggythistle · 23/01/2011 19:46

Eek that post was so big i ran out of room for this bit.

lol at Mrs A's dd and her mousie! forgot to compliment you on your name btw, i guess you like to read some of the same books i do. :-)

AuntieDoris · 23/01/2011 21:19

Hello everyone,

I am still here but I have been to London for the weekend. I have completely ignored the fact that I am doing Slimming World and I have eaten everything in sight and drunk copious amounts of wine. It did me the world of good!

Hope everyone is hunky dorey!

jaggythistle · 23/01/2011 21:24

Sounds lovely AuntieD.

Having a wee bit of wine myself, despite having to go to work early tomorrow. Blush

batteryhen · 24/01/2011 06:40

Morning all, temp dropped this morning so I guess af is on her way.Despite knowing I wasn't really in the running I am disappointed :( I feel like I am never going to be a mum.

jaggythistle · 24/01/2011 06:40

Woo, crosshairs on my chart.

I like that I am now 3dpo already.
