Morning everyone Smile

Shock at the Christmas tree Beedle! How early is that!

May I ask what a triphasic chart is?

Off to make a Brew too before DS gets out of bed Smile

BeedleTheBard · 27/10/2011 07:19

Not that I'm an expert or anything - but a normal chart is low pre-OV and high post-OV, then drops around the time AF arrives, a triphasic chart goes up to another level of high temperatures after the first rise, and is possibly due to the egg implanting, more hormones etc. Though not everyone gets a triphasic chart when they're preggo and 1 higher temp does not make my chart triphasic -yet :)

Biscuitsandtea · 27/10/2011 07:26

Ah ok, and do implantation dips fit into this? Would the third phase potentially be after a slight dip for implantation?

I find it all fascinating....

BeedleTheBard · 27/10/2011 07:50

yes, after a possible implantation dip. I thought I had one of those last month but my temperature never rose again.

Have you read Taking charge of your fertility? - I found it really interesting

mullermum · 27/10/2011 07:51

morning all! i did the test..........BFP! reallyhappy!even took a pic of it so it can't disappear on me again!goodluck everyone!

Imps7 · 27/10/2011 07:58

Morning girls.

I'm poorly today - I've just been sick 3 times (including once on myself in the shower Grin) - this is clearly a tummy bug morning sickness at 3DPO.

I also love charting! I'm not a scientific person at all, but I find it all incredibly fascinating. I know some people say that it makes them obsess more, but I think it makes me less obsessive as I know exactly where I am in my cycle - no need to guess!

Ooh gotta go

farfallarocks · 27/10/2011 08:07

Morning all

Loving the chat on here last night and only just caught up with it all!

maybe I don;t do charting and so I can't comment on your chart but it looks like everyone in the know is very positive, yay!
imps good luck with everything re. redundancy

Any news from generic cake scrambled?

Biscuitsandtea · 27/10/2011 08:12

Congrats muller great news Smile

Imps boo for morning sickness Sad. Hope that clears up (at 12 weeks obv)

Beedle I've not read that, was thinking about getting it but got my BFP instead Smile

Imps7 · 27/10/2011 08:20

Oooof am back temporarily

Thanks Farfalla - all is going well with the redundancy. Am meeting up with my previous boss on Friday afternoon to discuss my potential new job and then will hopefully go in next week to meet the rest of the management team. Brooking no argument that this all works out!

Muller - great news! Well done you!

NinjaChipmunk · 27/10/2011 08:50

God I'm having a crappy morning. Ds woke up hideously early and somehow I've still managed to be late for. Work. Supposed to be there but bus only just leaving. And I've got to leave at 12 to get home to let plumber in to fix central heating. Lord only knows what that will cost. Harrumph.

TheLittleFriend · 27/10/2011 08:51

congrats Muller

Hope you're ok imps. Get well soon Thanks

GenericDietCola · 27/10/2011 09:10

Muller great news!

Imps hope you feel better in 12 weeks soon

Ninja sounds stressful - hope you're OK.

AF turned up last night. Kind of relieved to know where I stand and these are the positive things from this cycle:

LP is now a nice 14 days
I get boob ache between ov and AF and it's nothing to get excited about
I seem to have started to get spotting a couple of days before AF and it's nothing to get excited about

Right, so time to think of new things to try this cycle. Any ideas? I read somewhere that Brazil nuts are good (who knows why) so going to eat some of those! Also going to actually use the Conceive Plus this month instead of leaving it in a drawer in the bathroom and obviously we will be rat smacking regularly as usual. The bad news is that I'm away for 5 days at a conference in 10 days time, so we will probably miss ov this month, unless the CP keeps DH's swimmers alive for a few days.

Ho hum.

Any news from Scrambled and Cake? Hope you're both OK.

Glad Maybe's chart is lovely!

farfallarocks · 27/10/2011 09:15

Sorry about AF generic but great news about the LP!

I am a brazil nut fan, its the selenium which is good news apparent,y, especially as its hard to absorb in vitamin format. Its meant to be good for hormone regulation or summat.

PopcornMouse · 27/10/2011 09:22

euuuuuh......

Generic those are some really positive positives, especially the nice long LP :)

Oh Ninja that's awful, I hope it's not too pricey.

ScrambledSmegs · 27/10/2011 09:24

Morning! congratulations muller!

Ninja I hope your day gets better. It sounds very stressful already so maybe take a few deep breaths? We need to think of your stress levels Wink.

Oh, sorry Generic. But that is a wonderful LP, I am very Envy.

So. No AF yet. Temps took a slight dip this morning to 36.9. So the b vits are working (yay!). I feel like utter rubbish today - didn't sleep v well due to bad headache that Just. Wouldn't. Go. This is usually a sign of impending AF. Obviously today it is a sign of my updiffedness Smile.

ScrambledSmegs · 27/10/2011 09:29

Oh no! Get well soon Imps and Popcorn!

Solars · 27/10/2011 09:39

Oh no Generic so sorry to hear about af, but glad to hear your LP is looking much healthier! Are you already taking vitamin B complex? How about legs akimbo after swi?? (not that I do it! if anything it will give your DH a giggle) My DH has started to give his little swimmers a pep talk before swi Hmm but it gives us both a giggle especially when swi becomes a bit taxing....

Congratulations muller!

Hope you all feel better soon Imps, Popcorn & Scrambled

Ninja Ouch, lets hope it's not too expensive & hope your day gets better!

GenericDietCola · 27/10/2011 09:44

Oh Popcorn get well soon.

Scrambled hope this means you're still in with a chance and good that we both now have wonderful LPs!

Solars I may try that just to give us both a laugh! I was taking the B vitamins, but stopped about 6 weeks ago as they were making me feel sick. It's good to know I don't need them anymore. Perhaps this is a sign that I am Back To Normal now after the mc, so hopefully that means my body is ready to grow a nice, healthy baby. How's the clomid going? Are you in the 2ww now?

Solars · 27/10/2011 09:51

Yes indeed Generic the 2ww and it is so booooooring!! I'm sure it is a sign that you are back to normal which means you'll be in tip top condition this month!

farfallarocks · 27/10/2011 09:54

solars, brilliant!

My DH is also a boob honker by the way, most irritating

Solars · 27/10/2011 10:02

Grin @ Farfalla's DH, I guess they have to amuse themselves in some way!!

possiblemaybebaby · 27/10/2011 10:09

Oh Imps you poor love, I hope you are at home resting?

Generic so sorry she got you, but whoop for 14 day LP! Now that it has lengthened, this month will surely be your month.

Scrambled, how many DPO are you now? Sorry about the headache, sleepless nights are never good.

Ninja boo to the plumber. Hope it is nice and cheap. Ply them with tea and biscuits to see if they give you a discount?

Grin at Solar's DH giving sperm a pep talk!

Popcorn you still feeling rough too? My cold won't actually come out, it is just sitting on my head and nose and chest. On the plus side, by temperature is giving me the rosiest cheeks, who needs blusher? I also felt v sick this morning. Clearly morning sickness and not Imps' bug.

How are you Far? Am I slightly weird in that I don't like my porridge cooked? Just the oats with the cold milk/yoghurt?

PopcornMouse · 27/10/2011 10:33

maybe I hope you feel better soon! Yes I am quite pale, naturally, and my mum always says I only ever look healthy when I'm ill and my cheeks go all rosie!!!

PopcornMouse · 27/10/2011 10:34

I like my porridge made with hot chocolate powder :d

possiblemaybebaby · 27/10/2011 10:49

Thanks Popcorn I hope you do too. Hot choc powder eh? You rebel! Grin
