This did stretch, but not really loads - nearly dropped it on the floor initially, composed myself though and although it was slippery it was more gloopy than stretchy!! Cheers Lil Thanks really hope this is something positive - I have read that with PCOS you do get patches of fertile CM throughout the cycle making it difficult to pinpoint whether or not that is ov time (if ov occurs at all!). My temps are balancing out though and have stayed pretty low so far, normally they are all over the place, one day low then the next day high, so feeling much more positive!! Grin

Hi all,

Maisie I know what you mean about temping being tricky. I did it for one cycle just to see if I was oving, and it was a nightmare. I keep being tempted to try it again but it got me so stressed out before so I haven't gone back to it. Working shifts as well meant I was not sure if my temps were ever accurate. I hope you manage to do better than I did and find a system that works. I know lots of people seem to get on very well with it, and it must be useful to see exactly what is going on each month.

Disco well done with the gym, I have been running a couple of times this week, hoping to keep it up but who knows! I have always been a fan of daytime naps I'm ashamed to admit! Blush

Blue your symptoms are sounding very hopeful, fingers crossed you won't need to go back to the rubbish doctor!

Liliana hope the 2ww goes fast and has a positive result! Moo new slippery CM sounds like a good sign!

SWI has commenced here. I had decided to give up OPK's in the new year, but because I ov'd early last month I still have some left, it would be rude not to pee on them really wouldn't it?? I won't be buying any more though as they have not helped for the last year or so, and I really need to chill out about the whole thing! Only a week, and 4 more shifts at work til I am off on holiday now, can't wait. Hopefully I will ov before I go, and won't spend the whole 2ww obsessing as much as usual! Smile

Bluetinkerbell · 06/01/2012 14:38

jep I can vouch that temping is tricky with DD around!
I did temp yesterday, temp was quite low, couldn't temp this morning as DD woke up at 5ish and got up to get her into our bed...
Will attempt to temp tomorrow again to see if temps have risen and are staying up there!

Feel very tired, sore boobs, hungry... aaaagh I hate ss...

Moo sounds like it is working towards EW then! I get gloopy too before EW. Yay sounds very postive

Kitchen where are you off to? My friend concieved both of hers while on holiday so fx

count glad to have a testing buddy

Notinmykitchen · 06/01/2012 22:06

Liliana I'm going skiing in France, I am due to ov just before I go if this cycle is like the last 2, which would be exactly what happened when I conceived DS almost exactly 5 years ago, can't help hoping the same will happen again!

Countmyblessings · 07/01/2012 01:50

Ohhhhh I know it's early Lili but how you feeling any signs ?

OP posts:
Bluetinkerbell · 07/01/2012 17:10

oooh don't know what to think... TMI Wink been to toilet... have slight cramping, and on wiping a tiny tinsy bit of brownish discharge, and some reddish blood. Could it be implantation bleed? I'm on CD32, possible 6DPO... Not expecting AF until around CD42-44...

Bluetinkerbell · 07/01/2012 17:12

This is my chart

Liliana1 · 07/01/2012 19:05

Sounds lovely kitchen you need something to look forward to and positive vibes will surely help.

Sory blue I'm not very good at reading charts, but does sound like implantation is a def possibility.

I've been looking at my chart and getting worried that my dip is not very dippy and did I actually ov? Don't want to get excited for no reason and having a bit of a panic! If some wise person could look at mine too and tell me what they think I'd be really grateful. Hope this works as not done this from ff before [http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/index.php?d=2011-12-20 my chart]

Liliana1 · 07/01/2012 19:06

Bugger, it didn't work :( Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Count, no symptoms yet - have you got any?

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 07/01/2012 19:37

Hi Blue that does seem I interesting! Can't really tell from your chart when ov was but I'm assuming because of the peak reading it was around then! How long are your cycles normally? 6 DPO is a bit early for implantation but you never know!! Hope it is!!!

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 07/01/2012 19:41

Lil on fertility friend there should be an option to share your chart and it produces a code, you need to use that code, it should look something like this:

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/36788e

Bluetinkerbell · 08/01/2012 09:10

Average cycle 42 to 44days! I reckon it is AF though as it started on 7th January. With both DD1 and Sterre my LMP started on that exact date... it's slightly freaky and can't be a coincidence... don't know whether to laugh or to cry... must mean that this month is going to be my lucky month... we always joke I'm only fertile in January / February

Liliana1 · 08/01/2012 09:49

My chart

Thanks moo hope this works this time.

Hoping this is your lucky month Blue

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 08/01/2012 10:02

Wow Lil chart looks good!!! Anytime from now until around 10DPO you need to be looking out for that coveted implantation dip!! I have all but two bodily parts crossed for you!!

Blue I am also keeping things crossed for you!!! Really hope this is it for you!

I think I have been a little naive in thinking I could ov naturally!! Despite having fertile CM signs, it is common to get these throughout the cycle with PCOS!! And to make matters worse, I had fertile CM (or at least what i thought was fertile) at exactly the same time last cycle :(

Don't want to bring this post down, just feel very frustrated!! Must think positive!!

Liliana1 · 08/01/2012 11:40

Thanks for the reassurance moo. You're not naive, just hopeful as we all are. Really hoping things get sorted for you soon. Have you got your next appointment yet?

How low / defined is the implantation dip? Is the ov dip defined enough? It just kinds of goes along with the lower temps.

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 08/01/2012 11:47

Lil I wouldn't worry how defined the ov dip was as you have 6 high temps now so ov definitely occurred! The implantation dip does not have to be too defined either just needs to be a single dip on one day!!

Feeling really dizzy and nauseous!! Could this be ov symptoms??

Notinmykitchen · 08/01/2012 15:50

Blue fingers crossed it will be the same again for you, same as me hoping that somehow skiing after ov will work as it did last time, not entirely logical, but then if its happened twice before for you there could be something in it! I swear DH is only fertile this time of the year too. He has 2 older kids from a previous relationship, and they and my DS must have all been conceived in December or January. I have wondered before if its something to do with the effect of the colder weather on men's bits!

Liliana chart is looking good, do you know how long your luteal phase is normally? I definitely think it looks like you have ov'd, everything crossed!

Moo there is no harm in hoping, it only takes once, and at least if you are looking out for it you won't miss it the one time you do ov naturally, and if that doesn't happen, you are in the system now, and will eventually get medical help to make it happen, so either way you will get there eventually. I can't see any harm in covering all bases!

Hope everyone else is well, and there is lots of SWI going on!

Bluetinkerbell · 08/01/2012 20:03

I really hope so! I decided not to chart this cycle...
It stresses me big time being woken up too early and not being able to take temperature. I'm just going to rely on the CBFM.
I felt very sad today, as I really wasn't expecting AF for another 10 days and it took me by surprise big time :(

FX for everyone else!

Liliana1 · 09/01/2012 07:24

Blue sorry AF got you, ttc is a definate rollercoaster. Try to look forward to another shiney new cycle next month.

Interesting theory Kitchen my Dh works outside and his bits must be pretty chilly atm! He did remind me the other day about the fact that he was hit with a cricket ball there last season and they went black so maybe they are broken. Confused

How are you feeling today moo?

Where is everyone? Had Lou got any news yet (think she is the first one due to test)

Another rise today - does that mean yesterday could have been an ov dip? Or is it abit early yet? Still no symptoms to obsess about so will have to obsess about chart instead Grin

Have a good day all

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 09/01/2012 08:31

Oh Blue so sorry the hag whore got you but as Lil said, a nice shiny new cycle and maybe history will repeat itself!!!

Lil that could have been an implantation dip if your temp has gone back up today!! Although 6DPO is a little outside the range for implantation (normally 7-10DPO) it is not unheard of and I have read many stories where women had a dip at as early as 5DPO and ended up pg, so really have everything crossed for you!!

Feeling a little more positive today, temp has stayed high, if it hits 36.13 tomorrow morning then FF puts in my crosshairs!! I have some mild cramping at the moment and have been having headaches but not sure if the headaches are just from the stress of it all!! I don't want to get too excited but I just can't help thinking that something definitely feels different this month. Unfortunately only managed to dtd the day before FF thinks I may ov so if I have ov'd then I just have to hope that the spermies present will be enough!! Is CD8 a little early for ov though???

I agree that it has gone very quiet on here. I think Loulou was taking a sabbatical from MN, i do hope she let's us know when she tests though!!

louloubellamozzarella · 09/01/2012 09:33

Hi all, blue sorry to hear that Af arrived so early :( lil hi! I have been dropping back in every now and again :) I'm on my phone so cant go too far back to see whats been going on but hope everyone else is doing ok too and getting in to the NY ok. Excuse my lack of punctuation please Grin

Was thinking i would need to test today or tomorrow but AF kindly showed her ugly bitch head yesterday Angry booo. I have had the most painful swollen boobs the past week and we dtd on the three vital days this month but it wasn't to be obviously! I am taking solace in the fact that swollen boobs = more hormones in my system, and that they might be regulating post pill. I just think I'm one of those people whose body is really affected by the pill and its taking a while to get my system back to anywhere near normal. Ahh to be one of the lucky ones who gets a hormone surge and up the duff as soon as they stop the pill Envy

Thats me till nov/dec this year then... We will start trying just before or wedding again. Not going back on the pill though thats for sure!! Can i still hang out here with you guys? Cant just leave me wondering when you all got your BFPs as you'll all be long gone when I'm TTC again Grin

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 09/01/2012 15:15

loulou hello!!! Sorry that the hag whore got you but glad that you are going to hang around!! We need you!!! Grin

Could anyone have a look at My Chart if i get one more high temp tomorrow (only needs to be 36.13) then FF puts in my crosshairs! I don't want to get excited, but I can't help being a little intrigued. Is this too early to ov??

Liliana1 · 09/01/2012 16:49

Hi Lou nice to see you again. Sorry hag got you but at least you can put all your energy into your wedding (and drink copious amounts of champagne! Grin) Glad you are sticking around though, keep us up to date on how all the plans are going. I'm Envy of those people too but we will appreciate it all the more when it finally happens (or some such guff!!!)

Moo ov on day 8 is quite early but not sure there are any hard and fast rules when it comes to ttc! It would coincide nicely with the right cm signs so looking good there (no clue what your cervix is supposed to be doing during ov). Fx for another high tomorrow.

Still no symptoms :( - oh, just looked and only DPO 7, maybe a little early still Blush this 2ww is taking forever.
