fresco with ov pains, it can be before during or after, by temping and fluid checking and scoping I know my pain is the egg itself coming out.
My ov day is today cd 17 have all the ewcm, my temp though is low low low!!!!
I am wodering as I had a sore throat and cold earlier this week and with stress of dd being ill, it might have given an elevated coverline...
Maybe it will go up tomorrow after ov?
I'm so new I'm prob spouting crapola!!!
Anyway if we don't conceive this month it will not be lack of trying! Poor dp is exhausted after a busy week at home!

hi Piffle your temp want go up until after ovul, so keep bding, in my book it says if youve lots of stress , ie moving house flu, things like that you can get a delayed ovulation, even though you get egg white

Trace2, I will be 35 tomorrow. How long is your luteal phase normally, do you know - when is AF due? Your chart looks broadly similar to mine actually.

My temps have been;
36.5
36.4 - ovulation day
36.8
36.8
36.7
36.8
36.7
36.7
36.4 - 'implantation' dip
36.6
36.8

DP took the mickey for a while, until he realised that it was my way of coping and staying in control. If I wing it, I get even more edgy and obsessive
The book is not wacky its good hard science :) DP has read a bit of it as well and understands importance of timing and cm now :)
Oh.. how often ummmm once every 12 hrs Blush plus once 3 x in 24 hrs Blush
Got to be in to WIN!

OP posts:
fresco · 01/04/2006 07:53

yes.well, got too for now.its just i always wanted a large-ish family and when i hit the 30s my bodyclock started ticking like mad, but wasnt with the right person at the time. so, now , to my delight, dh wants kids,he wants 3 or 4.but because our kids are big babies (dd1 was 9lb6 and dd2 was 11lb) i have to have c-sections as my cervix just doesnt open at all.so no labours for me (to my sadness)and you can only have 4 c-sections so i was told.

trace2 Happy Birthday to you too! I hope you have/had a nice spa day.

Hope it is not AF pains for you. Mine came on this morning. It is funny how I knew I wasn't pregnant. I was just so certain even though we did all the right stuff at the right times. Bummer.

HI trace sorry to say but AF may be on her way as the alcohol would make your temp go up!
Hope you had a lovely day yesterday.
