Morning laydees. Currently on day 13 and waiting to get a positive OPK - didn't get one at all last month. My chart is here. I am feeling rank today though as I have a streaming cold and I am reluctant to take anything to try and dry it up in case it affects the already pitiful amount of EWCM I get.

I am grumpy!!

Sorry you're feeling grumpy AuntieDoris:( Hope cold is better soon.

Turns out DS has a cold too, that's why he was panicking last night. He was pointing to the big trail of snot on his face when he got up this morning

Am going nuts looking at my chart and overlaying it with my other ones in every possible pattern. Why isn't it tomorrow yet?

Morning everyone.

Hope your cold goes away soon auntied

Hi jaggy

Hi ladies - can I join? I've been lurking a while, seems like a lovely thread, and thought a new thread seems a good time to join!

I'm 31, have one daughter who's 26 months. I would love to give her a sibling. Still breastfeeding once at bedtime. If we don't get pregnant this month the plan is to completely wean her (having been slowly dropping the feeds since February). Bit sad about this but actually its feeling like the right time.

We've been trying and charting for 5 months, and this is our sixth month. Chart here

As you can see some months i chart better than others!! CD11 today - don't usually ov til CD17 at the earliest. I am going to start taking my temp again this month from tomorrow. I meant to today but completely forgot this morning. I like having a break from temp taking at the start of the cycle.

Good luck everyone!

Oh and jaggy your chart is looking great.... really hoping its your month.

Marking my place in shiny new thread!

Having great weekend jaggy, though body aches today though just as well as temp is up today, let the countdown begin!

nice to see you here too isla :)

it is v nice on here indeed. the ttc while bf thread gets a wee bit quiet, eh!

trying my best not to get too overexcited (as usual). FF has put 'possibly triphasic at day 21' on now, just to make it more stressful waiting to see what the temp does!

i just don't know if this week's temps are especially accurate having been up a lot with DS after his trip to a&e. his cut mouth is healing up great but he now has a cold waking him up.

can't stalk charts on my phone just now, will need to get pc on later. my phone always runs out of memory when i try to look at big FF pages!

Hi everyone. Hope you don't mind me joining but like Isla I thought a new thread seemed a good time. :)

Been sort of TTC#1 since January but possible change of job held things up for a while. Wanting to do it a bit more properly now and began charting at end of last cycle. Now at CD3 of new cycle and impatient for more data to fill in on my chart! Didn't realise I would get so addicted to this charting malarkey so quickly...

Happy to share the link to my chart if someone will tell me which page to link to (although obviously it's not very interesting at the moment having only been using it for a week :o).

Looking forward to getting to know all of you lovely ladies.

Evening all! What a week it's been. I can only hope that most of my irrational eruptions have been due to hormones and my nerves due to imminent visit to gyn tomorrow. I've been V irritable and bursting into tears at the slightest of things. I'm really not looking forward to the visit as I fear what they might find, but still, got to try and stay positive. We got DH test results and although it's mostly good news, we are somewhat challenged in that only 2.5% of his swimmers are normal. it only takes one and he's got good volume and they are very 'active', so I guess that compensates a little, but not the news we wanted to hear. They'll continue to investigate him and see whether the results will change over time. We can only hope that my 'bits' are in working order....

AF is due tomorrow so that will add another nice character to our hospital visit . Had a big temp drop this morning, although no spotting this month, which has been a nice change.

Welcome sanity, Isla and digital!

sanity if you go to sharing (on the top menu), you can create a charting home page. What I do is click on view and then copy the link and post it here. To make it a hyperlink you need to enclose it like this

jaggy I know what you mean about being suspicious about your temps, but we're all keeping our FX for you as it's looking very positive

auntied Hope you start to feel better soon.

bossy I hope you can be more patient than I have!

Waves to everyone else! Let it be a lucky 7 for us

sorry you feel grumpy auntied :(

Hi where and isla!

jaggy fx !!!

Hey Bossy!

I keep forgeting to temp, will try to start tomorrow !

I'm not that used to the new FF website yet, but i think you go to 'sharing' at the top, then 'view'. if you copy that link it's your chart. if you choose setup rather than view, you can choose how your page is displayed.

oh, hello and welcome. :)

it is totally addictive. i did give up temping for the second half of one cycle, but i didn't like seeing my blank chart!

ah total cross post!

just getting DS to fall asleep on my knee so i can cut his fingernails, oh the glamour.

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Isla and sanity. Charting is great at making you feel more in control so if you want to get pregnant as soon as possible I think it helps to know when we ovulate. I'm on my 11th month ttc but only 4th doing charting, I wish I'd started sooner because it is so much easier when you know when you ovulate.

Welcome back to digital too, although I wish you hadn't had to rejoin us but hopefully this will just be a short stay on this thread for you.

scrummy good luck with gynea visit, I hope it goes ok.

jaggy your chart looks excellent, fingers crossed.

Oh jaggy you've just painted such a lovely picture of you two . May not sound glamorous, but sooooo loving and homely

scrummy I forgot to say that I have got my first gyn visit on Wed, I am dreading it too.

one hand done, need to detach him from my boob and rearrange him to get at the other one. think he wants to feed a bit cos he has the cold and feels rough.

he goes mental if i do it when he's awake, this is the only way. :)

Thanks mrsden and I wish you good luck too with your visit. Let's hope ours are routine and unsurprising!

bossy one less week to wait for your results....

feel like i am getting af cramps now, think I'll be writing month 8 off too.

i am pretty fed up of this, i
prefer the months where the temp obviously drops days before my lp is due to end.

:( :(

sorry for being whiny.

You know....it ain't over till....trust you managed to cut all 10 fingernails?

fingernails sorted. :)

temp down though. :(

chart

i expect I'll find af when i get up.

temp up again this morning, but POAS and BFN....

Sorry about the temp drop, but it might just come up again (check mine)

Thanks for the welcome. I remembered to take my temp, but after I'd got up and gone downstairs to get DD a cup of milk. So, errr, maybe not too accurate!

aw sorry jaggy, but it isn't over til its over.

BFNs suck, don't they Scrummy! I find it hard to resist POAS as well even though after every BFN I won't do it again until AF is properly late!

I was just keen to know cos of my appt this pm. Will try and be patient and see what happens over the next few days. Shame about forgetfulness...
