Raven I am so sorry. xxxxxxxxx

harder welcome, everyone is really supportive here.

Thanks for looking digi is there a difference between pineapple and grapefruit juice apart from the taste? I have got some tins of pineapple in the cupboard for the dogs but I'm sure they wont mind.

battery glad you feel better!

strawberry it is horrid but I will try anything!

terrys 2ww is a nightmare!!!!!

Iwish · 24/01/2011 20:11

Hi Weimy you should drink grapefruit juice before OV to help with CM and pineaple juice after ov and through the 2ww to help with implantation. i hate grapefruite juice, even tried the pink one but its awful, yak thinking about it now makes me want to heave.
Has your spotting stayed away?

aaarrrggghhh am i up the duff yet???!!!

So sorry raven (((hugs))). Make sure you take good care of yourself for the next few days xx

weimy · 24/01/2011 20:17

bugger got confused about the juices (runs off to steal dogs pineapple tins)

digitalgirl · 24/01/2011 20:25

raven so sorry my dear Sad, hope it's not too long before you get that bfp again. Thinking of you.

Welcome hardertokidnap. Having pcos doesn't mean you can't get pg. There are plenty of women on here who have concieved with pcos. I have 40 day cycles and polycystic ovaries (but not pcos), which explains length of my cycles. I also have ds who was conceived after 4 cycles of ttc. I'd been charting for the last two so we finally got the timing right. Hopefully, after you've been charting a few cycles you'll get to know what your body is doing and it won't be too long for you. Perhaps you only just ovulated on cd21 or even just after, hence the low progesterone.

Hello everyone, hope you all had lovely weekends.

Sorry that AF got you izzy. Hope you?re ok.

MrsA, glad to see you got a +ve OPK and FF has come to it senses re ov date.

iwish fingers crossed that was an implantation dip!

digi, your chart looks good, much clearer temp shift than before.

Glad you had a good weekend Auntied, drinking lots of wine is always a good thing.

Sorry you?re feeling Sad battery. I?m sure we will all be mums one day but it does seem hard to believe sometimes.

weimy, your chart looks goooood, I?m stalking you.

Oh raven, I am so sorry that has happened to you. Sad Hugs, and welcome back to charting madness.

Welcome Harder. This is a lovely thread. Smile

Sorry that all my catch ups are a bit short and sweet. My mind is elsewhere at the moment, one of my friends has had her baby today and although I?m obviously so happy for her, it brings home just how much I want to be a mum.

PS I love my new hair! Smile

mslk · 24/01/2011 20:32

battery sorry about af [hugs]

good news about the crosshairs jaggy

terrys hope af stays away

Strawberry your chart looks good to me, I don't even have crosshairs!!

You must be so proud of your DD MrsA

So sorry raven how Sad but admire your attitude.

welcome Harder

to everyone else x

weimy · 24/01/2011 20:34

Iwish meant to say that spotting has stayed away so far Confused.

batteryhen · 24/01/2011 21:00

ravens sorry to see you back, but of course you are welcome, so settle in and join the madness.

harder welcome to you - we like to think this is the lucky thread so good luck!

Well I thought AF was coming - I am sure it will tomorrow but no sign yet apart from a dip in temps. This is a long cycle for me - if I had not been charting I would be concerned with no AF but I know I OVd late this month and always have 14 lp phase. Will see what tomorrow brings xx wave to all xx

level · 24/01/2011 21:00

Hello everyone

Another new one for the thread.

I've been TTC#1 since October 2009. We started timing everything (using CBFM) from March 2010.

We've gone to the docs and DP's sperm analysis came back fine which is a relief. I have my day 3 blood test on Friday and had the day 20ish (can't remember now!) in early December.

I'm naturally optimistic and still think there's nothing wrong and it's just bad luck but it's sometimes hard to maintain that optimism.

I keep reading all these things which make me think I'm going to find it harder e.g. My birth weight was low birth (under 5lb - because I'm a twin), I'm O blood type, I'm not young (32).

Also my twin has had problems in the past. She's never TTC but she stopped ovulating for about 1 year and they found a cyst. Things are not totally back to normal for her.

Also - 16 months!!

Anyway, I've bought a thermometer and this month I'm going to chart. I've discovered fertility friend and might ask your help in interpreting it as I don't really know what I'm doing/looking for.

Sorry for the length. Fingers crossed for us all.

TerrysNo2 · 24/01/2011 21:25

Evening all. I am in a good mood because I just had a lesson with my hunky tennis instructor! (He's only 21 Blush Grin)

Also had a text from a friend that her daughter was born, I don't feel any resentment, just happy for her but I think its because she took a year to conceive and I found out she was PG before we were even trying.

Welcome to harder and level - great thread you have found here! Show us your links so we can stalk watch them!

weimy so you had some spotting but now its gone? And temp is still high, those are good signs! When are you testing?

Is anyone else pleased we have new people to keep us company?!? I was worried we were going to die out with all the BFP's! Smile

tory79 · 24/01/2011 22:37

Hey all, just popping in to say hello.

CD10 here so nothing exciting to report.

Does anyone use pre seed here? How often do you use it? I've bought some this month, and was thinking just use it when I get my positive opk's, as I seem to get 2 positives and then ov the next day. Don't want to be faffing around with it all the time!

jaggythistle · 25/01/2011 05:25

morning all.

that sucks raven, sorry to hear your news. :(

chart here

may be a new record for ticking the sleep deprived box this cycle, till DS gets over this virus he's got.

not sure how accurate temps will be but filling them in anyway. max of 2 straight hours before temp last night.

AuntieDoris · 25/01/2011 06:21

Hello ladies,

How's everyone doing? I am Ok but have a nasty cold and I am feeling manky and congested.

I am really fascinated now I am on my second cycle of charting to see how today's drop in temp has replicated more-or-less last month's drop.

I have also started drinking grapefruit juice this month to see if that makes a difference to my EWCM.

Here is my chart in case anyone is interesting in it.

jaggythistle · 25/01/2011 06:49

AuntieDoris It is cool looking at the overlay and seeing how the patters of temps go eh! (link above for mine)

Although they are all over the place with waking up, the pattern is v similar. Definitely fascinating! :)

The things I didn't know before getting on FF...

Iwish · 25/01/2011 08:01

Morning all!

Welcome level to this lovely thread.

Tory I've never used pre seed but from what I've heard from others it's ok. You could just use it a couple times before pos opk to make sure there's some swimmers up there.

Sorry youre feeling crap auntied hope you feel better soon.

jaggy I shall be stalking you in the coming week :)

Well 9dpo here. here is my chart for anyone who fancies a stalk.

Hope you all have a lovely day xx

Hi everyone , just a quick one to cycle buddy iwish, that's another lovely temp rise you've got this morning, bet you're pleased?

Hi and welcome to level.

Sorry not to namecheck all, am posting on phone which is always awkward so will return for a proper catch-up later. Happy to get a temp rise this morning at 8dpo (but after two much lower ones not sure how much I can read into it?)

Grin
StrawberryCreamTea · 25/01/2011 08:03

X-posts Iwish... See I said I was stalking your chart! Grin

Iwish · 25/01/2011 09:03

Morning strawberry! thanks for stalking me, feel special now :). Yeh I'm pleased with my rise, hoping it keeps going u! Your chart is looking lovely, you had a dip on 7dpo like me then up at 8dpo! Hope yours goes up tomorrow too. Are you going to test early or wait till af is late? Xx

Flippin heart burn this morning, just appeared before I left for work!

digitalgirl · 25/01/2011 12:29

Looks like strawberry and iwish are the ones to watch over the next few days.

Karbea · 25/01/2011 13:51

Hello,

Can someone have a look at my chart please. I really thought I would have OV'd by now, but FF hasn't said that I have... Do you think maybe I won't this month? My cycles are normally 24/5 days long...

weimy · 25/01/2011 13:57

terrys am going to wait till fri (she says!)

Have PMT and cramps so I think it is a given that I am out this month, temp dropped slightly today (but did have to get up and let the dogs in at four and then didn't get back to sleep, took temp at 6.30.)

Welcome level

Can't check charts from work so will be back on line tonight :)

mousebacon · 25/01/2011 15:45

Hello ladies, I'd banned myself from MN for a while after my BFP and the saga of the bleeding but I have been lurking.

Sadly, even though we saw a heartbeat at 8 weeks it was discovered our baby had died at our 12 week scan today. That's 2 babies in 6 months. I'm booked in for an ERPC on Thursday.

batteryhen · 25/01/2011 16:48

mouse - My heart wants to break for you. This is what has happened to me last year, so I do know how you feel. I can't believe life is so cruel. I will drop you a PM when I get home. Much Love xx
