Congrats Folic!

9DPO here. Still doing well at resisting stupidly early tests, but my symptom spotting resistance is failing.

I have had cramps for the last few days, getting a bit stronger today. I had them when I was pregnant with DS so wee brain now in overdrive. Made the mistake of Googling and read somewhere that they can be stronger in subsequent pregnacies.

I also have Odd Nipples. They have been a bit sensitive for a few days - I noticed especially when DS feeding. Then now seem, er, bigger and softer. They usually just feel funny before ovulation I think.

Yes, that's all it takes to make me think too hard!

My temps are quite high, but sleep has been erratic so can't really trust them at all.

Aargh :)

jaggy that looks promising :)

weimy · 27/02/2011 20:56

Folic Yay!!!!!!

Hello! I've not checked in for a couple of days as nothing really to report.
My chart is here for any stalkers!
According to FF I'm 9dpo but it could only be 7dpo. I have absolutely no symptoms and don't think we had enough SWI this month so not holding out much hope!

Funny question..... On the nights when DH is away and I have the whole bed to myself, my temps are normally lower than I would expect. Is there logic to that or just a coincidence?!

It's been a funny weekend here. DH got a call from home (in Ireland) to say a close family friend had died. He's flown off there today to go to the funeral. My poor MIL - the lady was her best friend and MIL has already had to deal with her 28yo nephew being killed in a car crash and her BIL dying in the last couple of months alone. DH is worried about her.

weimy - sorry she got you :(

scrummybumb - welcome!

AuntieDoris - awww, go easy on yourself! V useless of your BIL too Angry

Hello everyone else!

essenceofSES · 27/02/2011 21:01

Sorry - Folic - completely misread your post and thought you'd tested 5dpo, not PO5S!! That's fantastic news - congrats Grin Grin Grin

jaggy - that does sound and look v promising! FX!!

AuntieDoris · 27/02/2011 21:09

Congrats folic - that's great news.

I was feeling better until I saw photos my dad posted up on facebook. The proud grandparents with their first granddaughter. I have spent the last hour crying.

My sister has the full set now. Bingo. She wins.

As for my BIL. I am now calling him the bastard-in-law. It amuses me.

jaggythistle · 27/02/2011 21:28

Sorry you feel so rubbish AuntieD :( Your BIL sounds a right plum.

mrsden · 28/02/2011 09:13

Congratulations folic Grin Grin Grin

Welcome to this thread scrummybump We need new people because people keep going and getting BFPs! Grin

I'm totally fed up today, temp has dropped below the coverline so not sure what that means but my temps have been pretty low all cycle. Yesterday my friend told me she is about to start TTC, she sounded so confident that it would happen straight away. She doesn't know we're TTC, I tried to warn her that it can take time but she said "oh but we're not old and there is nothing wrong with us" Hmm The thing is I just know that it probably will happen straight away for her. I know it's not a competition but it feels so unfair when we've been trying for so long. I had a good cry last night and DH was so lovely and made me feel so much better. I think I need to remember how much we have already.

Hope everyone has a lovely Monday. Sorry AF got you weimy.

jaggythistle · 28/02/2011 09:17

temp still quite high. doing my best to resist any thoughts of poas-still plenty of time for temp to dip and af to show up!

hope everyone ok. Even if it is Monday.

Morning all. Sorry to be such a stranger - it's been a mental month work-wise and tbh, I have so little to report as my cycles are quite long.

Firstly, huge congrats folic! As usual, tinged with a bit of envy but that's my problem not yours!

I now know I couldn't survive on the buses - I'm on cycle 6 and almost everyone I joined this thread with has gone and got bfp.

Welcome scrummybump, feel free to come and chat or just rant.

jaggy temps looking good but I know as well that it can all be over with one temp drop and that's the head killer once you're about 10dpo. Hoping it doesn't for you though.

MrsDen AuntieDoris Essence sorry you're having tough times. I can't say anything really but hang in there.

My cycle this month is strange. I think I've ov early (cd19 which is very early for me), but my temps have been all over the place. cd 10-14 I was away in London with work and had some late nights/drinking, so I've ignored some of the strange pre-ov spikes. Cd 21 I went bed at midnight after a drunken night out with DP (2 bottles of wine and a cocktail!!!!), so the next day I got a huge spike.
FF stil says I have ov, although I got ewcm after ov and my temps are currently quite low. I'm 5dpo so a while to go yet but at least this cycle will be a short one for me - no more than 31 days.

Could anyone be kind enough to look at my chart and see?

Finally, we'll need a new thread soon! I'm happy to start it unless anyone else wants to?

jaggythistle · 28/02/2011 11:30

Can I be a mega pedant and ask that you put Charters instead of Charter's - that cheeky wee apostrophe looks just wrong Blush Blush

Being somewhat of a newcomer to the thread, feel free to tell me to get lost if it isn't just meaning Charters plural.

jaggythistle · 28/02/2011 11:32

I see what you mean about your chart - do you ever wish you could just fast forward a few days and see what happens to your temps? In my case 3 or would do...

weimy · 28/02/2011 15:03

mrsden AuntieD Big Weimy hugs, sorry you are so down :( I think exactly the same things that you do.

Essence sorry about mil's loss :(

Newgolddream · 28/02/2011 15:32

jaggy youre a better woman than me, your chart is looking fab - and I would have had POAS by now Grin

folic - I cant remember if Ive said congrats or not - so congratulations!

scrummybumb - welcome!

auntied - hope youre feeling a bit better now.

Sorry AF showed weimySad

essence sorry for your families loss.Sad

mrsden - not sure about temp below coverline, read somewhere on FF coverline has no physiological meaning but I guess it indicates lower temps?

mrsarch - not sure what to make of your chart, guess will just have to wait and see what next few days temps bring, sorry.

And as for me, Im 10 DPO and anotehr big temp fall today plus a BFN so I think my instincts sadly were right, AF will show in the next few days, unless by a huge miracle it jumps up spectacularly tomorrow!!

Honest opinions - do you think my gut insticts are right then?

jaggythistle · 28/02/2011 15:48

newgold - way too scared to see a BFN tbh! it's strangely less stressful to just watch temps. I may cave if temps still similar by wednesday...

Hard to tell about your chart - your temps have been low ish, so it's hard to say if it's a wee dip or a drop before AF.

Argh the waiting is too much eh!!

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 28/02/2011 16:02

New thread here

Come on over.

weimy · 28/02/2011 18:47

Thanks newgold I'm not too down I was prepared for it I think.

I'm not too sure about your chart, but I've not been charting very long.

Forgot to welcome you scrummybumb !!!!
