Just used an ic opk and a cb smiley and both have a barely there line! I usually get a positive today. Was wondering if I did ov early when I got last positive and thought it was because of soy but temps don't seem to be very different so I guess not. I hate waiting!

Wow treacle; nice chart! Loads of dtd too. I have lucky feeling for you. Do you have the premium version of FF? Thee seems to be more data on your chart than on mine.

Want, sorry, I don't see a line but that doesn't mean its not there!

Bugger - I had more to say but I can't go back and check who it was that had some bleeding that wasn't AF. Is the timing right for implantation bleeding? Fx!

Morning Smile

Huge congrats to Jackie and Freds Lovely news and wishing you both a happy, healthy pregnancy!

Want can't really see much but I know ic tests dont' photograph that well, let us know how you get on when your frers arrive!

CD21 here and I think 2dpo. I ran out of opks on Friday night (CD18), the last one being about 70% of the test line. I am guessing my high was either through the night CD 18/19 or morning of CD19... We managed to DTD 10, 13, 14, 16, 18... even though OH has a bad back. We wanted to last night (CD20) but he was in too much pain, he's actually off work today as he's really hurt it. This is the first month he has been asking about everything and best times to DTD etc though. He even asked last night when we 'would know if it's worked this month' bless him... Just hoping we have done enough.

Morning everyone [salutes a la Cheryl and Simon X factor stylee]

proof, ooh that's quite exciting! When is AF supposed to be making an appearance?

want, my lovely. I say this with the greatest of respect and total understanding of the TWW torture and head f$#+... put down the tests. For a bit at least! As the others have said, it's still so early and it will send you mental continuing to poas this early. You're due AF sometime this week, aren't you? So not long to wait until nature will reveal its course. I'm also very impatient and I want to know if I've caught this month, of course I do, but poas at this stage of the month is not going to change what nature (or a higher being, if you're spiritually inclined) has already dictated.

ohlordyplordy · 13/10/2014 09:34

6dpo here and nothing major to report. Had a stitch type pain in left pelvic area 4dpo and since then it's felt bruised and occasionally I get the stitch again. Not had this before, but I think it's too early to have been implantation.
My chart it looking a bit odd (fx I attach it properly)...anyone else seen one like it before?

Morning all

not had a chance to read back but congrats jackie and fred

cd 20 here and flipping FF is refusing to confirm ov. either my thermometer is a poop or maybe I didn't ov again. grrrr. might have to pay to get another blood test to confirm as I don't want to get my hopes up if I haven't ov.

spinningirl10 · 13/10/2014 09:46

Oh Genni, how bloody frustrating! Can you attach it so that one of our temping gurus can take a look and maybe advise you?

Treacle I looked at your chart, can I ask how do you enter data to give you round empty circles where you've had broken sleep please.
Also looked at the other chart that someone posted, sorry forgot name and first month temping so can't offer any advice. It looks very pretty thoughSmile

MaMaPo · 13/10/2014 10:03

Spinning, in my experience the open circles are added automatically if I don't temp at the same times in the morning. You can see on my chart some of those, mostly when I've been woken early.

Lordy, your chart looks good! Nice sustained temp rise.

Genni, what a pain! Fx for another few good temps and that FF calls ov.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 13/10/2014 10:15

Morning!!
I've just had a quick read back...

Congrats Freds and Jackie!!
Hugs Nordic.
I'm also fairly near to Thorpe Park Angela and Katy!
Frolic - I'd say you did ovulate around cd 17/18 and your second dip is just an oestrogen surge.

Treacle - I hate to say this but I think you prob ovulated at cd17, after your peak. I know this now only puts you at 1dpo but I think you've def done enough to catch that egg!

John Legend was ah-mazing!! Even dh enjoyed it and he's not really his cup of tea.
Cd11, no +tive opk yet. Will continue eod dtd for the time being.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 13/10/2014 10:17

OhLordy - It does look a bit odd, but your post OV temps are still higher than pre-ov so nothing to worry about.

spinningirl10 · 13/10/2014 10:21

Thanks for that MamaGrin

English, pleased you enjoyed John legend.

Morning ladies

Sounds very promising, load's of 'symptons'
Hope your pain calms down soon Katie.

Chandlers I will keep you in my prayers x

I'm rushing out this morning to get paint - the decorating continues......

Happy Monday everyone Smile

beakerandburette · 13/10/2014 11:33

Really confused and upset this morning. Woken up to some bleedi ng - fairly heavy but dark like old blood and horrific cramps, only on CD11 so really unsure what is going on. OH has taken DD with him to view some jobs and I am going for a nice hot bath and a cry!

ohlordyplordy · 13/10/2014 12:40

Thanks mama and English, usually they are spikey and much further above the coverline, but I guess so long as it's above the coverline, it doesn't really matter how far above. Just hoping it doesn't drop.
Hugs beaker, I read that some people get bleeding at ovulation, but i'm not sure if it would be dark or red. Have you been doing opks?

broodylicious · 13/10/2014 12:59

Sending hugs beaker I also have heard re bleeding around ov time but I've never had it myself so can't comment with any authority. Thinking of you xx

Gosh, early departure of this thread!!

spinningirl10 · 13/10/2014 14:59

Beaker, hope you're feeling a bit better now. Has the bleeding stopped? Not sure what to suggest, could it be ovulation bleed?Thanks

Yes Broody, tis an early departure!

Joey0805 · 13/10/2014 17:16

How long does it take EPO to work it's magic?! I took 1000mg yesterday and today and there is such a difference in terms of amount of EWCM; can it really work that quickly?!

Katybear123 · 13/10/2014 18:10

Totally fed up ladies. Cd17 here day 2 of peak. Hubbie couldn't manage last night as was tired, and has already text at lunchtime to dp say he isn't feeling well and just got home and he isn't here!! FFs I am so annoyed I know he is going to not b up for it tonight either which will mean we will only have managed on 1 high, and possible 1 more high!

I am trying to remain understanding but I want to scream at him, I want this to happen, I hate my job, and I want out via mat leave. This is what we agreed and kinda doesn't feel like he's holding up his end of the bargain I am so cross and sad.

Sorry ladies I know it's all me me me, but had to rant

spinningirl10 · 13/10/2014 18:42

Joey that would seem very quick but you never know!

Katy, sorry you're down. My dp suffers from performance issues at ov sometimes. It's so frustrating, I know he really wants a baby and we happily dtd the rest of the month. I guess it's just the pressure that gets to him having to dtd on demand. I would say try not to get cross or upset in front of him. It's hard sometimes Thanks

Thanks spinning for the redirect and for ur words of support. I am keeping all crossed tightly he is up to it but not sure. Have jumped to new thread to

Treaclepie19 · 13/10/2014 21:06

Sorry ladies only just read back properly.
English I thought that too but not too concerned because most of my cycles ff tells me ive ovulated 2 days before I think I gave. It could be a fallback rise though.

Spinning if you want it to discard a temp you just have to click discard. The empty circles are from when your temp is taken at a different time of day.

Puppydogstails1 · 13/10/2014 21:52

On the bus after AF arrived after with gay abandon yesterday...hey ho...at least I am bang on my 26 day cycle as predicted. Must try harder this month etc...

whitwoochantelle · 14/10/2014 17:10
