rubles i said i was not going to temp after ovulation, but i did do when i know i ovultated, which was noemal just over cover lineat 36.6, then i stopped temping did want to know af was coming, until i bleed on day 8dpo for an hour then stopped so i took my temp them and it was higer than normal its was 36.8 and know ive temped every day since it was 37.0 this morning!

and i read your message about your bleed to the other day, what are yours and what dpo are you?

I'm 10 dpo today but feeling pretty miserable because I made the mistake of taking my temp this morning and it was down to 36.6 (was 36.9 for the 2 days after the spotting). Taking temps can be a double edged sword can't it. I cried on the way to work on the tube and have shed tears here at work as I now know I have at least two days of knowing AF is coming before she arrives on Wednesday. I just feel dreadful and really regret picking up that thermometer this morning. I was hoping that the cramps I have been having for the past 6 days were a good sign....obviously not. Thanks for asking.

trace2 · 02/10/2006 11:05

this month what i did do diffrentlly,

did not take epo, or grapefruit juice, did not temp after ovulation, we was giving up only did bding two days, as i got +opk on 3 days so i gave up testing, and gave up sex!worked it out was 2 days befor ovulation.

still used pree seed, still took baby asprin, and vit b and folic acid

Think the taking your mind off it worked then Trace.

Today i was feeling down and sorry for myself and was thinking of giving up coming on here as it gets me down as i don't seem to get anywhere but then i come home and have had a letter from the hospital with my appointment for my lapocapy (?) it is 9th March 2007 and once i ready through it all i thought oh f**k i really don't want that but i had to come straight on here as i know you ladies will support me and set my mind at rest and i can ask questions on here i cannot ask in RL.

So my faith has been renewed and i am going to work my arse off to try and get up the duff before then.

Hope everyone is well.

Coggy - AF arrived?

coggy · 02/10/2006 20:24

Don't leave us Natty.
You neeeeeeeeed us and we need you.

The laparoscopy (?!) was easy!
I was SO scared......my only slight phobia.....general anethestics and I was panicking about it like mad for WEEKS.

D'you know.....if it helped I would have another one tomorrow!
It was so easy honestly.
I was rather pathetic and sick afterwards and THE ONLY person that they wouldn't let home beacuse I was spewing (nice!!) but I had no discomfort or side effects or anything.

Oh...and yes....AF did come....I had cramps in the night so I woke up knowing (even though my temp went up a bit so I was a tiny bit hopeful!!!)

You and MrsMc are so darn chilly!!!
My coverline is 36.7.....you are both so low down but a MASSIVE jump up for you after OVing this month.

I love those charts.......okay....I admit it....I am a spotter and it's only going to get worse!!!
I have just read alll the CBFM notes and I'm ready to rock and roll on Weds at 8am!!! (Or 9....can't decide?!)

Quickie for Trace........you okay??

pussycatmomma · 02/10/2006 21:06

hi, just a little helloooo from me. Not going to be on computer v. long as i am still sore and cant sit up for very long. I am deffo going to need to start temping and charting as i havent a clue most of time what you girls are on about! Natty, not sure why you were going to leave, but dont sweetie!! Dont leave hun, like coggy said we need you, we all support each other here. Of course there are times when we need not to be thinking about stuff, but we are all here for each other when needs be.
Think I am taking a little while to get over anasthetic, other drugs etc. Had a little cry today, which is ridiculous really, as it was all good news i suppose. I just feel like I am starting all over again.
Hope someone will fill me in on all this charting malarchy when the time comes, am not good with figures
love pcm x x x x x

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 07:11

Thanks so much girls

Sorry to hear you are still feeling sore PCM, i am going to do next years holiday chart at work and put my book my op day off and a week after - was thinking of maybe going aboard but by the sounds of it wouldn't be a good idea to be stuck on a plane.

Sorry AF arrived coggy - i am loving these charts as well might set up a thread just for us all to share. Temp up again this morning was 36.69 yesterday and today 36.75 7DPO will just have to wait and see now.

PCM - most of us download chart software i use TCOYF as i find it simple.
Mrs - what is your temp today?

coggy · 03/10/2006 07:34

Good idea about the TCOYF chart thread Natty.
I used to get really confused when everyone gave their temps etc and had no idea what was going on!!!

The TCOYF software is really easy to use.......apart from the few confusing bits.....but I think that's my body rather than the software!!!!!

coggy · 03/10/2006 07:41

'Tis done Natty.

Here!

trace2 · 03/10/2006 08:14

natty dont leave, YOU ARE WANTED HERE,and you need us and i think the temping idea is great.

coggy i really am sorry about af i wish you and all on here was joining me!

pusscaycat glad you on the mend hun you never know now .

well i got a darker line this moring, was very scared as i woke up and thought it was 6 in the moring and i temped (oh god i was so scared it was only 36.3 i thought the longest hour in my life didnt sleep a wink, waiting for the bleeding to start!, then after a while i thought god this hour IS very long so looked again at timeit was only 3245, so i took my temp at about 1in morning(nowonder it was low) anway did fall asleep and temp when i woke up was 36.8.

dh as now said i can not temp any more its making me more nervous, as last time i know i was m/c as temp went right down, and i dont want to know if it happens agin.

i am not leaving this thread ! this is where all my friends all, so move up on sofa pass the orange juice and chocs over please

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 08:53

Thanks Trace you are right i do need you lot.

Think stop temping is a good idea and please come over and look at our temps every now and then as we always need advice from our temping guru.

Glad you got a stronger line today, how many dpo did you first test?

pussycatmomma · 03/10/2006 09:04

hiya trace, thought i would pop on before i go in bath. So pleased for you darling, that everything is going ok. We must try and meet up soon. I saw Corianders pic of her Jack the other day, hes stunning, doesnt look like a newborn, looks like he has the wisdom of the world in his little face already. I am giving you a mission now lady, can you help me with this charting business? Like i said before i am rubbish with figures and numbers. What do i do, when do i do it, wheres the chart etc. If you not allowed to chart any more, then you can be my charting guru. Gyny already told me not to use opk's as not reliable, and also would be putting pressure back on myself. Me and dh already decided we just gonna try and bd every day (!)whenever poss , just to increase our chances, but it wont hurt me to have a bit of extra info. Knowledge is power and all that.
Also a little special hello to coggy, i think (hope) i am being paranoid, but i havent offended or upset you at all have i? I just tried to chat with you other night, but has been playing on my mind. Please let me know if i have said anything to offend you or if something i have said is not right.
Trace, let me know about charts.
Hi to everyone else.
Glad you are staying Natty. Laparoscopy is not to be feared, you will be absolutely fine, like someone else said, general anasthetic is worst bit, but at least when you have had it done you will know where you are a bit more with things. It will either put your mind at rest, or at least get things going in the right direction.
hugs to all xxxxxxxxxx

pussycatmomma · 03/10/2006 09:27

not to worry, you all busy, will try and catch you later x

wannaBe1974 · 03/10/2006 09:36

morning all

Natty you can't leave we all need each other . And besides, I found from my own personal experience that the decision to leave is futile, because there's always that desire to just have a quick look see how everyone is and before you know it you're commenting on things and then the whole idea of leaving seems silly. I've lost count of the number of times I've said I was going to leave because it's not going to happen, now I just think that I'm better just admitting that I can't ever leave :O.

Coggy so so sorry about af, hope you're ok, feel free to email me any time [email protected] if ever you feel the need .

Pussycat glad you're feeling so positive about things. Will you have to have day 21 test this month to see if there are any improvements etc? do you have follow-up appointments? And how is your sister doing - is she going for more IVF cycles? I will email you some time soon .

Trace so glad that things are more positive for you, and I think your dh is right to tell you to stop temping now, so, have a chocolate or 10 and feel that warm positive glow

Well I'm on cd24 today and my god I swore I was going to stop doing this but ... last week I had extremely sore boobs, so sore that I could bearly touch them, in fact there's a thread about it on here somewhere. But now they're fine - no soreness at all. Now if i remember rightly, didn't logalot or someone have similar and get her bfp that month? as in, she posted she had sore boobs and then posted a couple days later that they weren't any more so obviously false alarm and then she got a bfp? or tell me I'm being silly if ya like lol. But I also had af-type cramps for a couple of days - although these do seem to have stopped as well now. Didn't temp this month as was on holiday etc so that's not an indicator --- oh i wish I didn't do this every month - I'm sure my af will probably arrive on Saturday/sunday/whenever it feels like it :O.

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 09:42

Thanks for the reassurance PCM.

You right wannabe i would probably of kept popping back on to see how everyone is anyway and then get drawn into the conversation. Hope AF stays away for you.

ShowOfHands · 03/10/2006 09:48

Morning all.

Pussycat, it's lovely to have you back after your jiggery pokery. Make sure you take the time to recuperate properly and on with the charting (it's easy, really it is- you take your temp every day, it is low before you ovulate and high afterwards. If it stays high you're pg, if it goes low again, af is on its way. Coupled with knowing your fertile signs it means you know when you can get pg and whether you've managed it. It's cheap too!). Anyway, here's hoping that it's your time soon!

Trace- my dh has confiscated my thermometer as it scares the life out of me when there's any fluctuations (and obviously there are loads as I'm pg and stressy and not sleeping properly). Chuck it away, you're pg and what will be will be.

Oi Natty, you're going nowhere.

I know how frustrated you feel and maybe a few days break from MN is fine, but don't make it a permanent break, you never know when you'll need the support. And personally I can't wait to congratulate you when you get your bfp!

Coggy, woo hoo! Your LP is fantastic. It's a bugger about af, but it's amazing how things are improving for you.

MrsMcJnr, how's you today? Your charts look like mine! They go up and down all over the shop after ov but stay above the coverline. Don't forget that they can fluctuate enormously for lots of reasons. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Andi- you pg person you! How far on are you? Commiserations on the sore boobs, I have substituted my boobs for rocks. Painful rocks that are expanding by the day. Got a wee bump too, dh is convinced it's twins. He's not funny. Got my first antenatal appt on Thurs and the midwife's referring me for an early scan. Scary stuff!

Anyway, hope everybody's well and doing something far more exciting than me. At work all day, but going to see one of my fave singers tonight. I'll probably fall asleep but I'm excited nonetheless.

ShowOfHands · 03/10/2006 09:54

Wannabe, it's futile really isn't it? You convince yourself you won't work yourself up this time and it's like having somebody sitting on your shoulder going 'oh God don't look behind you, it's incredible, I've never seen anything like it. Stunning. But don't look'. Of course we're going to bloody look. It's just a pita when you turn round and there's nothing there, or even worse your fave aunt flo's arrived, it looks like she's staying and she's brought a load of Neil Sedaka CDs with her.

I really have lost the plot this morning. If you understand my analogy maybe you can explain it back to me.

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 10:01

Thanks SOH you ladies are so sweet.

How many weeks are you now SOH?

ShowOfHands · 03/10/2006 10:39

Hi Natty,

I'm 8 wks pg.

No, seeing it written down still doesn't make it seem real.

What's your temp like today?

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 12:17

8 weeks how exciting have you had an early scan?

here is my temps

ShowOfSeveredHands · 03/10/2006 13:32

Have an antenatal appointment on Thurs and they're referring me then for a scan. I'm very nervous, just want to see a heartbeat.

Your chart looks much better this month (had a nose at your previous ones) and your temp's back up today which is a good sign. How long have you been ttc?

PS ignore my name, it's changed for Halloween!

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 13:54

Been trying since July 05 and this is my first month on clomid as i was not ovualting before so temps charts 1 and 2 are all over the place.

Good luck for Thursday. x

Juicylucythe2nd · 03/10/2006 15:11

Wow Trace, what fab news!!! Congratulations.

Juicylucythe2nd · 03/10/2006 15:11
