Ahhh I've worked it out!! It's cos I have my charts pinned at ovulation and I haven't yet ovulated this month!

jaggythistle · 17/03/2011 22:28

i am so sad that i change my overlay to start of cycle till i ovulate, then switch to ovulation+coverline.

i am not in any way obsessed with inspecting my overlay though.

auntied I've now done the same this morning and I'm so glad I did as I seem to be in line with last month ( was starting to get worried as I really thought my temps were higher than usual this week). Clearly day 3 is a challenge for!

jaggythistle · 18/03/2011 08:00

so bored I made my own crosshairs today Grin

MollyDefoe · 18/03/2011 09:20

jaggy me too! It's the only way FF will acknowledge that I might have ovulated this month. Although if I take out all the high temps that were due to either loadsa booze, very late nights, or being up all night with DP when he had norovirus, then I think my chart shows a clear-ish temperature rise on CD16. This definitely coincides with other ovulation symptoms. What do you all think?

bossyboop · 18/03/2011 10:25

thanks for that scrummy!

Weimy your chart looks great!

My chart is ridiculous, something clearly not working this month Sad

jaggythistle · 18/03/2011 12:57

i will probably go back and remove the crosshairs and let FF do it in a few days, just too impatient!

i also tried out the temperature corrector today, i was up at 2am today and wasn't sure if my temp would be very correct. i also took it at 6.30 so i put them both in and FF gave one somewhere in between based on statistics apparently. fun!

bossyboop · 18/03/2011 13:12

oooh how do you do that jaggy?!

bossyboop · 18/03/2011 13:21

Oh ive found it Smile

jaggythistle · 18/03/2011 13:36

oh. that means it's 2ww time. nooooo.

at least i am not back at work till Monday so can be distracted for a few days. it'll be over before i know it.

bossyboop · 18/03/2011 14:37

According to ewcm im 6dpo, though no proper temp rise as early temps were high so no red cross, though cervix does feel low again. Wish I had just stuck to temping at 4.30am in stead of waiting till 8am now its all pear shaped. If only my bladder was larger than a pea then maybe I would sleep better and have a better chart Grin Never mind this time next week I will have my results Confused

Scrummybumb · 18/03/2011 14:57

bossy can't access your chart - it says page not found....Working from home today, so tried to have s sneaky peak Wink

AuntieDoris · 18/03/2011 16:26

Gah. Went into the GP today to try and find out the rest of the test results. Finally the receptionist chased them up and told me that it is the testosterone test that is holding things up. Apparently they test in batches and won't be doing this until next week... who knows when next week tho.

Two weeks wait for blood tests result seems a little ludicrous to be honest!

Scrummybumb · 18/03/2011 17:00

Argh! That's awful! I know there is a lot to be thankful for when I comes to NHS, but that's shocking! I'd send a letter....I'm really Angry on your behalf!!!

jaggythistle · 18/03/2011 20:31

whether they test in batches or not, the doc should have that information to let you know. so either the lab or the surgery (or both) have communication somewhere. hopeless!

jaggythistle · 18/03/2011 20:32

gah. bad communication i meant.

MrsSatsuma · 18/03/2011 20:33

Oh no AuntieDoris, that's rubbish! Hope you get them soon.

My chart is looking slightly healthier after I used the temperature corrector for CD17 and temps have gone up the past couple of days.... am I still in with a chance or should I have a glass of wine tonight?! Here it is

Scrummybumb · 18/03/2011 21:21

mrsS no Wine for you! Your temps look good....she says after just coming back home from the pub Grin [hic]. no seriously, they do, so hang in there!

bossyboop · 19/03/2011 08:50

Oh scrummy I discovered how to change my url so the address changed - heres my chart

After 8 days of swi and a rest on thursday Blush I was suspicious that I was in the mood yesterday, I thought I wounder if I am going to have more ewcm and I checked and the cervix seemed softer and there was ewcm. I then remembered the right sided twinges I had that day and thought that maybe it was ovulation day and that the last lot of ewcm might have been remnants of the swi. So expected to see a rise today but no its lower. However I have experienced pains for a couple of days before, hopefully see a rise tomorrow. Still sleeping rubbish, waking up every couple of hours and worrying about not sleeping well is not helping me to sleep well!

Scrummybumb · 19/03/2011 09:27

Hi bossy maybe the stress is impacting your ovulation. Can't remember how regular you normally are, but maybe you tried to ovulate earlier and the stress put it back and now you're trying again. I know about the sleep thing. I suffer from broken sleep when I get stressed. I started using Dr Bach rescue remedy, there's one especially for sleeping. I found that helped

level · 19/03/2011 10:10

morning all.
wow weimy your chart looks great!
Mine doesn't seem to ever show a big rise post ov. I've had my progesterone tested and apparently it's fine but I'm wondering if it's actually a bit low. Anyway, my chart is here www.fertilityfriend.com/home/level

bossyboop · 19/03/2011 10:17

Thanks for that scrummy will have a look Smile Today decided I have low thyroid function...roll on next week for my results when I can actually find out what is happening. Its only my 2nd month of charting and cycles prior to it were 25-26 days long (but have been 28 days and 29-32 days, seem to have a few months of each) so ewcm on cd10 seemed 'normal' as seemed to ov cd11 last month. Would be nice to see a normal chart even if bfn but just no pattern emerging at the mo, and now traffic light is green again, dear me I am going to be busy again!

It's sunny but a bit chilly but had thought about getting outside and doing some gardening but think I must have been lying in an awkward position as sore neck and shoulder today so will give that a miss for now. Enjoying a nice Brew

weimy · 19/03/2011 13:10

molly i would say ov'd 16

scrummy i think i will apply just incase Confused

bah! 2 weeks thats crapola auntied

MrsS ooh fx (still looking good!)

OH has gone sky diving so am chillin on the couch with the pack. Blush had a few Wine last night so am tired, and sore from a rather exciting riding lesson. Temp has dipped a little but have had little sleep and took temp an hr later than usual so fx thats all it is Hmm.
