[MrsArchchancellorRidcully]

Volume 6 ladies. Come join us, new and old, and worship at the temple of EWCM, TCOYF, +ve OPKs and BBTs!

Molly - so sorry again for what has happened but at least you sound as if you are dealing with it, I personally feel it doesnt matter early the loss was - its important to grieve for it, its like grieving a loss of hopes and dreams to.

weimy - thanks. I think that will be on my swi break now thank god.

auntied - 14 DPO? Are you tempted to test yet?

Ifatfirst and bossyboop - sorry that AF showed for you both, its crap.

scrummy - Big @ "do they know how much effort......." - I was a bit open mouthed at that to actually about the white cells! Like you I was hoping to see somethign about implantation.

mrsarch - good to hear from you and you are both keeping well!

pipbin - yes I would count it as Sunday. I got my knickers ina twist about tbis a few months abck as I became obsessed that I had missed out on a swi day by 15 minutes because it happened at quarter past midnight!

Hello everyone!

Thank goodness it is the weekend , I for one am shattered.

molly hope the interview was not too horrible xx

((molly)) hang in there hon.

newgolddream I am tempted to test but I am going to resist this month. I hope! I usually have a 28ish day cycle, although my LP is usually about 14 days so maybe I will have a short cycle this time.

auntiedoris - good for you! Im keeping lots crossed for you

Morning all!

Molly you really have got a lot on your plate. Make sure you take time out to relax when you get the opportunity. I have my Fx that that the interview went well. Gosh, new house, new job - sounds like a new life

mrsA good to hear from you again and thanks for your good wishes. I too want to see us all get our BFP ASAP. Such a bunch of nice women deserve to be mum's, first, second, third or even fourth time around!

I'm still spotting, but with some watery stuff with it. So, I've started to build up my reserves for next week . Got Zita's book yesterday and am about half-way through it. Am going to try and get DH to read it. Easier said than done!

Hi- please can i join you. Am 32, using cbfm and charting, ttc >1 year, no male issues! Irregular cycles 30-38 and occasional anovulatory cycle. Initial bloods normal - awaiting referral to fertility clinic!
Anyway: now 10 dpo, brown spotting since 8dpo, now due af for 2 more days, cramping, v sore bbs and cream crackered, but temps still high- had a dip at 7dpo, but back up higher afterward.feel like af will be here any second. Have a couple of questions for experienced charters:
Does lp change ? I know is not supposed to- but concerned mine is inadequate!
Why is temp still up if spotting?
Anything i can try to lengthen lp prior to ling wait for clinic appt?
Thanks

hi fr00tbat, welcome to a very nice friendly thread. :)
think lp is normally a similar length each time. mine is 12 days on average, had an 11 and a 13 or 2.

not sure about the spotting, sorry.

fingers crossed it's a good sign for you and temp stays up. :)

Welcome fr00tbat! It could be text book implantation (trying not to get you too excited). I suffered a week worth of spotting couple of cycles ago until AF arrived properly. Your temps will stay up until your period start proper. I now think this could have been down to lower levels of progesterone that particular cycle. FX it's implantation instead

welcome fr00tbat,

My temps sometimes stay up right until Cd1 and my lp has varied by a couple of days here or there.

Oh, and i understand you can take vitamin B6 to try and lengthen your LP. Anything over 10 days is ok though!

Yep thats right :)

blood test booked. I've been a good girl and gone for CD24 (gyn said CD21-26) though looking at my charts I could be ovulating CD19 so in that case 5dpo is too early but at least I have done as I am told and anyway my only other option due to bank hol weekend was CD28 which would have been too late. Oh the drama and confusion!

Thats good news bossy :), hopefully some answers soon xx

Thankyou - poas this am as temps even higher- faint bfp at 10 mins- got dh to check and he agreed - not sure i believe it- had always thought when this day finally came that result would be more obvious and definitive- going to buy more tests when shops open- scared!

Woo!

hope it's a nice strong line soon for you :) fr00tbat

Good luck fr00tbat - do you have a link to your chart? love looking at others

With my last DS I had a very faint but visible line at 9 DPO that slowly got darker (I carried on POAS for weeks )

Like weimy my temp sometimes stays right up and doesnt drop till CD1/2 and my LP varies by a few days. Was worried about this because lowest was 10, highest 13 but as scrummy says 10 and over is ok. It must be if I got a BFP at only 9 DPO as if it wasnt there wouldnt have been enough time for it to implant by that point.

bossyboop - glad youve booked your blood test, Im still thinking about it.

Forgot to mention Ive got a query about EWCM. I usuallt get 2 good days when it shows up pre ovualtion, very thin, stretchy and long. But today (Im 4 DPO) its came back I think only its like very thick EW if you see what I mean, like coagulating in lumps. Does anyone know if this is normal? I put it into FF as EWCM and its made my cross lines dotted now.

Fr00tbat congratulations, so inconsiderate shop opening hours on a sunday as well! So exciting

HSG in a weeks time, blood test in 3 weeks time and see gyn in 7 weeks time, so much to look forward to Things could be worse though, im not complaining just frustrated and tired and just a teeny bit fed up.

Wow fr00tbat congratulations! I know you've only just joined us, but like you said, been trying for over a year, so it really is great news and must be a bit unreal.

bossy well done for booking the tests. I know what you mean by your emotions. I'm glad ive got my appointments but at the same time wish i didn't. Just feel a bit apprehensive I guess on what they may find. Maybe ignorance could be a blessing? I know I won't cancel and will go all the way if need be (assisted route that is), but still....I mentioned to DH that I might stop charting and using OPKs seen as my cycles are so regular. I might just move to keeping an eye on CM and have loads of SWI. We'll see.

newgold I fear I can't offer any advice. I've only managed to spot EWCM once and that was few cycles ago. I do get lumpy creamy stuff shortly after ovulation (yikes)

I'm still spotting, at 9CD and no sign of any fertile CM this morning . We did put in a good effort this morning though.....

Good morning and waves to everyone else!

Congrats fr00tbat .

Can't help on the ewcm business, I don't check and don't know if I get any, there was white stuff in my knickers on day 13 so I told ff it was ewcm so I could enter something but I think I was fibbing.

Cd19, no symptoms at all. I guess I am into the 1ww got zumba, pilates, dog training and horseriding booked for next week that should while away the time

hope you are all ok :)

Thanks everyone- still not convinced- too scared to hope.

Think is correct- not done this before.
Fingers crossed temps stay up and lines get darker- will update am!!

Big temp drop today :(

Still higher than the coverline though... I have absolutely no idea what is going on this cycle, but I am now expecting AF to visit.

Dark blue lines on cb, in under 1minute, pregnant on digital.......oh my god, numb...... Scared.......

Wow fr00tbat - congrtaulations!

auntied - hope AF stays away, temp is still well above, so you never know!

Well that's another temp drop well below the coverline. Period has just started.

Feeling devastated and tearful as usual. It doesn't get any easier does it? I always feel really resentful that I get the double whammy of not being pregnant and then having a really painful period. :(
