Join us in egg-hunting, cm analysing, chart-stalking and plotting our way to a bfp. Or just generally losing the plot. All welcome!

FF and I are now in agreement on ovulation day. Bit of a fallback today but that's not unusual for me around this time. Right, now to sit on my hands for the next week or so.

digital woohoo! Good effort on SWI. I get tired just looking at it. There I was thinking we'd put in a good effort

MrsD sorry about temp drop. I know what you mean about being at least able to get the bloods done. I've got my crosshairs and been counting days to see when AF is likely to start so I'll be able to get my day 2/3 bloods done.

jaggy nothing like family to cause you stress

duck let's hope it's a lucky 13 for you. I hope you haven't been a foolish as me and looked at the FF age vs conception time stats....

isla I can't have reflexology. I'm too ticklish. But anything that will help to relax is good for you.

auntied we've got a new addition arriving in our extended family any time soon now and I have no idea how I'm going to respond. So far iv been pretty good about it, apart from when it was announced. I was in floods of tears

poppy remember to keep it fun

Well, my chart is looking pretty standard at 4DPO. Got my Day 18 bloods scheduled for Monday and ultrasound for Friday. What an exciting week ahead.

Hi to everyone else and sorry for not name calling

PS. DH has done a bit of research himself and learned that blueberries and raspberries are good for sperm quality, so he's making himself a smoothie as we speak!

Scrummy Bless him!!

I had reflexology on thur and she said I ov'd on my left side, how you can tell that from feet I don't know.

Jaggy that temp rise looks good!

digital thinking of you in the 2ww! I'm in the 1ww :(

Well timed SWI for us this time clear blue monitor was helpful there, been checking my charts and I'm about due for some spotting, sore boobs and cramps are already here tho, due wed ish.

morning all.

i seem to have crosshairs already, not sure if i agree with FF but i can kind of see why it's picked cd18.

spotting, on to month eight :(

Jaggy FX for 2ww

sorry weimy

Weimy

weimy I know we all count spotting as the end of the game, but I've learned that so may women have spotting and even bleeding in early pregnancy, so you could still be on for a chance. Of course, you will have my full sympathy if AF turns up in full. It's rubbish

sorry weimy :(

Hello I'd like to join you please! Ttc #1 for 18 months. Starting charting in Feb. Currently cd22 FF reckons I ovulated cd8.
Sorry to hear about the spotting weimy

Well, I have officially had my longest cycle ever.

I am expecting AF tomorrow, have been a bit tetchy but no other symptoms.

Have been pondering my late ovulation and suspect that it may be because I had a stinking cold days 12-14.

Oh well.... it's all a waiting game. Temps have been slowly dropping so I am expecting the big one any day :(

auntydoris being ill can definitely delay ovulation. Hope temps don't drop any further.

havealittlefaith welcome . Can you link to your chart so we can all have a good nosey?

Thanks guys. We shall see but at least it wont be a big huge shock and I wont get caught out in a year 11 lesson lol

AuntieD I have heard that too.

Welcome havealittlefaith :)

Bollocks.

It's all over I think :(

Auntie Doris x

My chart should be here but bear with me cos I'm not massively confident. Swi is variable in our house cos DH is on.road to recovery from depression.
AuntieDoris you still never know, it's not actually below the coverline is it? But sorry you're disappointed.

Has anyone on here tried the ClearBlue Fertility Monitor?

Think I need to try something different - this is expensive but I am wondering whether it would be worth it.

Hello ladies!

I always said I'd like to join this thread when I graduated from the "waiting to TTC" thread - and I think (think) that day has finally come. So I hope you'll have me. TTC #1 and this is CD3.

oops, forgot i am meant to only be lurking!

am still 3dpo today as FF changed it's mind when i entered today's (slightly high due to wine) temp.

right I'm off to hide and not think about the 2ww at all. (honest)

hi havealittle and Amanda, good luck! :)

havealittlefaith er, your chart looks very promising . Are you going to test soon?

auntyD oh bugger

Welcome Amanda have seen you about - are you also charting on FF?

FF changed my ov date again back to two days before I ovulated.

Yes but there's nothing much to go on at the moment! I'm hoping that the new automatic cat feeder I have bought this month will give me uninterrupted nights and better readings!

I'm actually wondering about paper charting instead on the basis that I definitely know better than FF how my chart should look ha ha.

Ha I've been caught before and been gutted! So sitting on my hands for a couple more days. Will be a miracle if I am cos DH's sperm came back as low motility! (Though could be cos they took 80 mins to analyse it!).
Hi Amanda! [waves] thinly we've met on other threads.

havealittle my dh's SA came back as borderline low in all areas - but we've conceived 4 times in the last two years. So don't let a little thing like low motility get in the way of your bfp. Is he on zinc and vit d3? Vit d3 also good for depression I've heard.

Amanda my dh sees to all nightly disturbances (including ds waking) in order to preserve the accuracy of my chart.

digitalgirl that is really good to know! GP didn't seem too worried, retest due in.August. Yes he did his research and announced his needed the above vitamins and I explained they were all in the conception well man tablets he kept forgetting to take! He is scoffing Brazil nuts as he read that helps!

hi all

welcome Amanda and havealittle Amanda, I agree about paper charting, I think FF gets it wrong all the time!! But I find it easier to just enter the data into FF. You can always override the ovulation detection. mind you FF does feed obsessiveness with its chart gallery. I've taken it off my bookmarks as I was spending far too much time on it. Somehow now that I have to type the address in means I spend less time obsessing!

jaggy I think FF has your ovulation right now!

sorry AuntieD I know how you feel.

Just about lifting myself out of my CD1 slump (and its now CD6!). Looking forward to relxing this cycle. I'm not going to temp at all. So maybe I shouldn't be here - but i want to cheer you all along!

Hmm I'm spotting but my temp was still high this morning. Am confused but trying not to panic!
