Ohhhhhh sorry loulou was really hoping that the year would be started off with a roll of good BFP! But I am glad your looking at it as a not totally gutted but a ok wedding plans are go!!!!
I'm just thinking I may have got my dates mixed up and maybe my AF is due sooner rather then later!!!!!
Not feeling positive right now as now looking at dates it making sense why I'm now feeling like the old hag sent me a txt!!!!
Not feeling as bad as I thought but will see when or if she shows!!!!

Hello can I please join you all again I was on the plane around Sep/Oct time and I'am sorry to see some of you are still here, I also have a good feeling for this month and am sure that we will all be landing soon with lots of BFP.

Could I join you, please?
No sign of AF for the last 7 weeks but several BFNs so getting a bit worried that something else is wrong....

Hi ladies, just checking in. Been up and down(currently down) I do feel like my hormones are balancing so hopefully things are happening.

So I've been temping this month just on a paperchart. Can someone tell me about fertility friend? Do I just join and put in my temp? Is there an option to put in older dates so I could put in all of this months??

Hope we all have good news very soon. x

Hi Cherry nice to see you again (although sorry both you and I are not pg yet!!)

Jump on decaf hope you work out whats going on soon.

Count has the witch become that technically advanced? Wish we could send her a text saying bugger off!

baby Sorry to hear you're down atm and hope that things are calming down for you. FF is dead easy, yes you just log on and enter temps. You can add older data and it does it all for you - it also 'reads' your chart and tells you when it's likely you ov'd. There is a paid version that does more in the way of reading your chart but I just use the free one. If you need any more help shout.

Morning all!

Big welcome to Decaf let's hope this is a short haul flight for you!!!

Relax as Lil said, FF is really simple to use and free (I actually pay monthly, something like £6 as I am a little neurotic and like to see the bigger picture), but it works just as well on the free version!! It's great for tracking BBT, CM, CP and when you are on AF/spotting. You can even enter when you have had SWI (or SWOI!!). Hope your hormones start to sort themselves out for you and that you get that nice shiny BFP very soon!!

Lil how are the temps looking this morning?? Any symptoms??

Well temp rose slightly today, not enough for my crosshairs but if it stays at the same temp tomorrow then FF does put in my crosshairs and puts ov at CD8. After doing copious amounts of research, it seems that it is fairly common for ov to occur this early in the cycle, especially if you have a short cycle (as my cycles are all over the place, I am not sure what is normal for me, but hey, if I ov i really do not care :)) It all feels a bit surreal that tomorrow my chart could show ov!! Really hoping that i do not need to book in for my HSG

Went for a turtle and CM is creamy and CP in a medium postion, neither soft or firm and still open! Definitely feel more wet down there so not sure what is going on but do have some mild cramping (although I also suffer with IBS and sometimes the cramping can be of a similar nature!)

Sorry for the essay, just feeling a bit excited/nervous/anxious!!!! :)

Hope everyone else is getting on ok!

Mornin' all!

Good luck for tomorrow moo! Really really hope it's ov time for you.

Hi again cherry! Nice to see you back - sending good luck vibes to you. Also hey to decaf - hope it's a short stay for you. You're in the right place if you want advice on cycles - it seems that most of us have pretty damn annoying cycles so we've been there :)

I'm still lurking here :) Going to hang out here to see you all get your BFPs and to suck up any tips I can for when it's time to try again.

I have been mentally compiling a list of positives that it hasn't happened yet...

*More time to get down the gym and get really fit before my body has the strain of being pregnant
*More time to save money and get closer to buying a house before we have a baybee
*Wedding and small baby would not have been compatible so we'd have had to push the wedding back
*Don't have to worry about being preggers at sis' wedding
*More time to let my cycles bet back to normal so that when we start TTC again, I know that the pill isn't a factor.

Not that it really helps anyone else here, but it makes me feel a bit better as I'm a bit sad that even the past couple of cycles when we've been putting in the effort we haven't had any success :( Still, the last point is really a good thing as I think hormones have been messing up our efforts.

Anyway, onwards and upwards, anyone got any news today?

Hi loulou glad that you are feeling more positive and really hope that everything goes well for your wedding. Have you set a date yet?

Really sorry that the last couple of cycles have not been successful for you despite all your best efforts but like you said, it might just be the pill coming out of your system, some time off from it all might help things regulate and when you get back on the wagon you may get that BFP more easily!!!

I have such a bad headache, have eaten but am still ravenous and am absolutely shattered. Was in bed for 9:30 last night and slept fairly badly, so probably down to that, but just can't seem to shake these headaches. Ack well, must plod on :)

Quick stats update too!!

Thanks, I will look at ff. I think I ov this month but we not been able to try coz of the tests. Oh well, at least I think I've ov coz in the past I don't think I've ov for months! Will send over chart when I've figured it out.

Lil do you check CM?

Moo- have you been checking CM for a few months? I'm just reading about it. I think I get clear/ watery sometimes creamy throughout cycle even when I think I've OV'd. Apparently some women do have that, however can tell when it's most sticky/stretchy?? I don't know, will give anything a try!

Lou- I just reworded your positives. Sorry if it doesn't help. I think for me my body Has been protecting me from the emotional roller-coaster and feelings I had the first time. I have accepted them and know it will be ok now. Just need my inside to know!

*More time to get down the gym and get really fit before my body has the strain of being pregnant
I am getting fit and healthy to carry my baby and look forward to meeting my baby very soon.
*More time to save money and get closer to buying a house before we have a baybee
I am saving to create more stability although we have more then enough for when our baby arrives.
*Wedding and small baby would not have been compatible so we'd have had to push the wedding back
When I get my BFP everything else will work out.
*Don't have to worry about being preggers at sis' wedding
I don't mind if I'm preg at my sisters wedding, it'll be a nice reminder 'you were in mummy' tummy then.
*More time to let my cycles bet back to normal so that when we start TTC again, I know that the pill isn't a factor.
My cycle are becoming more normal, A healthy egg is released each month.

Well, I met a friend yesterday who has a lo younger then mine and has had another one(he's nearly 1 too!) in all that time we been trying for another one and now she thinking of having another. I'm Very pleased for her it's great. Just wish it'll happen for me. My dd would love a little bro or sis. I can see her so caring.

Hope everyone's having a great day.

Temp went down again today so don't think it was an ov dip a couple of days ago.

No symptoms - I'm shattered, but always feel that when I get back to work (and especially as I have a new child who is, ahem, challenging!), I'm starving, but I'm on a post christmas diet so only to be expected. Aside from that I got nothing.

Relax I do check cm but generally do it from whats in my pants or when I wipe - sorry TMI but couldn't think of a nice way to put it! I don't turtle much as no clue what I'm looking for.

moo hope things become clear tomorrow - so hoping you get your crosshairs. Are you sure the headaches and restless sleep aren't stress related? Hope it's pg related instead.

Lou give us some good news about the wedding as the BFP's seem to be eluding us. What you doing / when / colours ...? :)

Lil remember that implantation can occur anywhere from 7DPO to 12DPO and a few dips here and there does not necessarily mean anything! As long as your temps are still high then I would not be too concerned (i still have good feelings about this).

I'll be honest, I don't feel stressed at all, everything's ok at work, we've just cleared a load of debt, things seem to be going ok!! But they very well could be!! As could the cramps (I always get cramps from IBS if I get stressed!). I suppose i could be unconsciously stressed - hope not though!! I just want to cry, either with joy, or despair at my broken body!! Can't work out which one it is yet though!!! I don't feel particularly down though, iykwim!!

Hello everyone!

Sorry that AF has got a few of you, hope you're past the being upset stage now and at the 'yeah, new cycle, let's go for it!' stage.

Lil I know what you mean about acquiring a new pupil, they can totally change a class dynamic! Had another post-work snooze when I got in...pathetic really that I can't keep my eyes open.

Moo I hope your body behaves itself and you get your high temp tomorrow. I know what you mean about being all over the place, I'm absurdly emotional over stupid things on the tv or radio.

Loulou I reckon wedding planning will take your mind off ttc very successfully!...I would prefer to be wed before we had a baby but as DP is 50 every year counts for us now! Hopefully once I get pregnant and we're confident it sticks then we can set a date for the spring/summer after future baby is due. I may have to reassess this if we've had no joy in 6 months time though...

Relax I check CM but I never get egg white mucus (I did once, the first month after I came off the pill but I wasn't TTC then). I have about 7-10 days of wet CM before ovulation, but I do tend to ovulate about day 22 so my body has a while to get geared up! To be honest, after ovulation I don't tend to check CM as thoroughly but it definitely isn't so wet. I've had a go at checking cervical position aka having a turtle but it's so subjective I gave up. Hope this helps?!

Hi Yorkshire and Cherry!

I go to the doctors tomorrow to find out more about my day 21 blood test, other than the receptionist's 'It's all normal'. I wonder what he'll say. Still, DP and I are going to choose a puppy on Sunday so at least I'll have that to look forward too. I am secretly hoping that having a doggy distraction (and all the hard work a puppy entails) takes my mind off TTC so effectively that I fall pregnant because I've stopped thinking about it! Unlikely perhaps but I can dream...

Hi all,

Lou glad to hear you are hanging around! I look forward to hear how the wedding planning is going!

Moo another one with fingers crossed you get the high temp tomorrow!

Disco good luck with the blood test results tomorrow, let us know how you get on! Do you know what kind of puppy you are getting? How exciting! Should certainly keep you busy!

Not much to report here, got a bit of a line on an OPK today, which is usually a sign that ov is approaching, so will be SWI'ing frantically for the rest of this week! I am still managing to keep positive so far this month, we will see if my positive attitude survive a 2ww though, that will be the real test!

Aaaaaargh!!! Look at My Chart

So blinking excited, but must not get despondent as things can change more quickly than we know! Only managed to dtd the day before ov...... Is this enough??? Yes, I'm a worrier!!!

Can't sleep now (who would have thought ov could be so exciting!! :)

YAY!!!!

Your cross hairs are most defintely there and you know the day before ov is definately enough so pleased we finally have reason to celebrate.

Hi Disco thinking of you at the docs today and hope all is well. Let us know how it goes.

kitchen have fun with the swi and glad we are all in such a positive frame of mind. I'm sure it has to help.

My temp dropped alot today but still above the coverline ... could it be the mythical dip? Know I will have to wait till tomorrow to see if it goes up again but can't help being excited and it does seem like a day for good news. my chart

Oooooh Lil that looks very very promising indeed!!

Do you know how long your LP is? I have a really good feeling about this month, not really sure why!! My only concern at the moment is these awful, terrible AF like cramps that I am getting!! I really don't feel well at all!!

Disco really hope you get some answers from the docs today :) and that all is well!! Ooooh a puppy, how exciting!!

Loulou I meant to ask if you have picked a date for the big day yet? Hope that the planning is going well so far :)

I am feeling really positive this month - just need those temps to stay high (have kind of been here before with FF putting in crosshairs, then a succession of low temps and FF removing, so not getting too excited just yet!!)

Hi guys! Sorry I've been awol recently. My 2yo had two days in hospital last week after a really bad asthma attack (blue lips and unconscious bad) so my mind's been on other things!

I'm not here to bring you down though. She's much better now and on a preventer inhaler, which should keep her well!

Wow moo - you've only gone and laid an egg! Well done you, so pleased! And lil your chart looks fab too!

I'm a bit hacked off with ff. Last month it had me oving early and I think misinterpreted my chart which meant me and dh stopped SWI too soon. This month it's done the same again and I don't agree! I think my temp will rise again and that will be ov!

Here's my chart.

What do you think? The other signs point to me not having oved yet, but being about to ov, I think. Needless to say, dh and I will continue SWI EOD until I'm sure that egg has been laid!

Really good to see so much positivity on the thread at the mo! Hope you're all having a good day! xxx

I bloody cocked up that link! Here it is again! festie's chart

Wow Moo that chart looks pretty damn good!! Fingers crossed now the temps stay high! Maybe the cramps are ov pains, could be worse than usual as your body hasn't done it in a while?

Liliana also looking hopeful, everything crossed for that big rise back up again tomorrow!

Festie that sounds terrifying, glad your little one is on the mend again now! I think you probably know your body better than FF, so I'd go with what you are doing and see what happens, good luck!

Festie so sorry to hear about your DD - that must have been so frightening!! Glad that she is back home and on the mend, i wish her a speed recovery :)

Hmmm festie most interesting!! The signs seem to indicate ov is about to occur but the temps do not correlate with that. I would stick to your plan and SWI EOD until it becomes a bit clearer (or at least until the EWCM disappears!)

I am a little concerned about this as well. My first high temp was taken about an hour later than normal (still followed all the usual rules though) and I am concerned that it might be giving me flase hope!! I have really bad abdominal AF type cramps and I know for certain that there is no way I am due AF for a looooong long time!! I am going stir crazy!!

Hmm, as kitchen said, perhaps you're just so unused to oving that you've really felt it this month? I suppose it's just a case of waiting and seeing what those temps do, but it certainly looks like you've oved, and you're other signs seem to bear that out as well!

*your - gah!

Hi everyone, after thinking it was fertility freindS, finally found it!! lol

So here's my chart so far. Anyone know what it means?

Ok, I dont know where to find the link???
