Morning all! I wasn't up as early as some but early enough and veen in work for half an hour already....

BUT!! I didn't poas. Which is good.

retro I'm waiting til tuesday before poas.

missmrs I think LP of 10 days is fine. I think 8 or 9 is considered short. I don't know how long mine is as no idea when i ov, but i do have short cycles so would expect it to be shorter than average.

english Its one of the reasons i have steered clear of temping and opks so far. It all just seems so unreliable and hit and miss, I worry it would just cause more worry if i did it iyswim. I have also read of people getting bfp in the month where neither temping nor opk showed ovulation at all!! So chin up chuck, all is not lost.

I've decided against my exercise class later but will go for a run at lunch. I have to work tomorrow 7 - 12 at night so could do with a relaxing night tonight.

I caved and POAS bfn Sad

Cd40 and no sign of AF, still keeping my fingers crossed for my BFP.

Sending hugs and duvets to all you poorly ladies and hoping you feel better soon

EnglishGirlAbroad · 14/03/2014 08:35

Basically after ov, progesterone causes your temp to rise. Fertility Friend usually pin points ov based on 3 days of consecutive rises. The progesterone from the corpus Luteum then maintains a higher temp until it dips and af comes. So usually temp will stay up for 10-14 days based on luteal phase length.
I dont feel like af is immient. Yet not convinced i ovulated. Still getting highs on the cbfm (although) i'm kind of disregarding that. But did opks too and no positive there either. I know people can have the odd anovulatory cycle and it wouldn't bother me if the last few cycles had been normal.

I don't know if its better to be blissfully unaware of how everything works or be clued up and armed with ammunition for the gp!!

Sparrowlegs248 · 14/03/2014 08:35

fingers I don't think testing on CD 40 is classed as caving!! Sorry for the bfn though.

Looking after my sick budgie is making me so broody - there is nothing in the world that matters as much as love.... Getting emotional.... could this be a sign? Lolol SmileGrinWink

MrsExtraOrdinary · 14/03/2014 09:30

Nosaint, definitely a sign! Now do you have fluffy hair? Wink

Loving the virtual duvet! Smile

Really must book my bloods Blush

Writerwannabe83 · 14/03/2014 10:06

Morning all - just checking in and was hoping to see more BFPs but things seem to have slowed...

nosaint - what's wrong with your budgie?? Poor little mite!!

I had to go to hospital this morning because of reduced movements and also because I've been having pains and Braxton Hicks over the last week and there's a chance they will be bringing my CS forward again!! I've got to return to the hospital this afternoon to see my Consultant to discuss the 'options'. I'm now shi*ting myself that they are going to want to take him out over the weekend!! EEk!!!!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 14/03/2014 10:22

Oh writer! The very best of luck my lovely. Grin Such an exciting time. The days are getting longer, the sun has started to shine and you'll have your spring baby in your arms before you know it! Will be thinking of you this weekend. Thanks

Writerwannabe83 · 14/03/2014 10:28

Thanks Mrs - well if there is no update from me later then it's safe to assume they've admitted me and 'Eviction Baby' is taking place Grin

EnglishGirlAbroad · 14/03/2014 10:31

Good luck writer, very exciting!! Enjoy your last few moments before your little bundle of joy arrives. You then have a lifetime of love and joy! Look forward to hearing from you!! Smile

Sparrowlegs248 · 14/03/2014 10:35

Oooh writer!!!! Exciting times! When are you scheduled in for? Hope everything goes well and best wishes.

Writerwannabe83 · 14/03/2014 10:39

My actual CS is scheduled for a week today but I have this feeling in my gut that it'll be done earlier because of my symptoms.

it would be lovely if it was done over the weekend as on Sunday it's mine and DH's first Wedding Anniversary and baby arriving would be the perfect present Smile

Spotti · 14/03/2014 10:41

He he LOL Writer. I hope everything goes ok at the hospital this afternoon, and if the little man is kicked out over the weekend, pleeeeeease can you post a pic? >smiles sweetly< I'm fed up of waiting for my BFP/AF now and could really do with seeing a picture of a little squidge Wink Grin

Have just popped on to have a nosey what you're all up to (it's boring sat at home waiting to go to work. Especially when you feel sick and everything you eat/drink tastes vile and makes you feel more sick, yet I need to eatsomething otherwise I'll never make it through my shift) and guess what's just come up at the side of the screen - in the 'most active' threads bit? THIS THREAD! I wonder if any of the non-penis dragon MNers will dare to click on the link...

chuckles to self about "penis dragons" being 'popular'<

I'm now wondering at what point we added the first penis dragon links/pictures to this thread...would any newbies find them straight away? Hmm...I'm off to go find out...

Still bored lol

Spotti · 14/03/2014 10:48

Apparently it's taken us 22 pages before we thought to post a dragon penis pic...maybe we should make a point of posting a pic on the front page of each new thread...keep our little dragons as a good luck charm Wink!

Nordicmom · 14/03/2014 10:54

Cd 15 smily face at last . Oddly no flashing this or last month at all...

Treaclepie19 · 14/03/2014 10:56

Ohhh Writer! How exciting. Hope all goes brilliantly for you :)

kurama · 14/03/2014 11:12

hope everything goes well writer im back at hospital today coz apparently they wanted to see me after my scan on wed and they want to do more bloods (yest was cd28) now if they had let me speak to a gyni like i asked to i would already know whats happening and wouldnt be going back today!!! not pissed of in the slightest

also my 'd'h has given me his bug full force so im now looking at a few days off as i work with food and the boss doesnt want my "lurgy" as he called it this morn....

on the plus side still no af cramps so im gonna poas in the morning! "starts singing in head while dancing and waving green pompoms around and getting 'you are deranged' looks from still poorly dh"
and yes everyone of my friends and co-workers all know how strange i am hehe Grin

missmrsmummy · 14/03/2014 12:01

Notta thanks for replying. Do you think 10 day LP is ok even if there has been spotting before? So really my spotting starts 7dpo and full AF 10dpo

That might not even be the problem; there could be more than one problem!

Despite spotting starting, I feel quite positive today. I'm thinking about all the good things in my life and I am starting to think about an idea I've had for a business venture. That should keep me distracted for a while Smile plus I'm going on Amazon to stock up for next cycle. Any suggestions? I've got pre-seed. Might try the fancy cb digi with flashing smileys! Only had the non-flashing ones before. Didn't understand the ics is cycle - can't cope with those again!

Hope everyone is ok. Just read back quickly and there's all sorts going on!

Writer good luck - we'll all be thinking of you as your little one arrives, albeit it earlier than expected! X

missmrsmummy · 14/03/2014 12:01

Good luck for poas kurama!

Treaclepie19 · 14/03/2014 12:23

I'm just stocked up on cb digi opks, pre-seed and seven seas vitamins missmrs :)

missmrsmummy · 14/03/2014 12:54

Thanks Treacle! What are the seven seas? Are the conception type ones?

Treaclepie19 · 14/03/2014 13:17

Yeah, Seven Seas trying for a baby vitamins :) I like that they are so tiny!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 14/03/2014 13:52

Calling all cm know it alls!!!! Blush What does creamy cm mean?

cth1982 · 14/03/2014 13:54

good luckwriter hope all goes well!

Am also using Fertility Friend english thought I was about 8dpo but quick re-caculate this morning on it has me a 3dpo which means a longher wait ugh!

Anybody else have this sort of shift when they first starting charting?

sazzlehopes · 14/03/2014 14:02

Oh writer sounds like although you might not quite be ready would be lovely for him to be born over the weekend. Will keep an eye out for updates!
