Hmm I thought I'd replied :s
Hi tooth :) hope all is ok.

MrsE hope you get some answers soon.

Watching stand up to cancer, in tears!

Treaclepie19 · 17/10/2014 19:48

Thanks sunbathing :)

teeniedeenie34 · 17/10/2014 19:48

FX it's not Treacle. What a shame, there's enough stress involved in ttc without the worry of illness and BFP coinciding! I've decided to get myself a copy of Baby Trail tomorrow on your recommendation, I need something proper to read instead of persistently asking Dr Google questions.

Hi Tooth waves Smile

Treaclepie19 · 17/10/2014 19:51

Haha it was funny teenie and heart wrenching. Unsure about the ending though.

teeniedeenie34 · 17/10/2014 19:53

Sounds good! I defo need a distraction.

Treaclepie19 · 17/10/2014 20:05

Me too. The 2ww is horrendous!

toothachereturns · 17/10/2014 20:13

Aw Treacle you don't have much luck! I'm sending you some lucky white heather from Bonny Scotland!!

Hi spinning. SmileSmile

My body is being a right bitch..... Last 3 cycles have been 32 days long. haven't really been trying so the 2ww hasn't been torturous. it will be torturous if it's another 32er in Nov. Hmm The 2ww becomes 18 days!

Treaclepie19 · 17/10/2014 20:15

I don't!!! :p thank you :)
Fingers crossed your cycle settles down!

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 17/10/2014 20:29

Jcandy, I reckon day 15 or 16, but more likely 16. You have a positive OPK the day before (was it definitely as dark or darker than the control line?) and your temps after that date are all higher.

The Fertility Awareness Method rule is you need three higher temperature above the previous six AND fertile cervical fluid needs to have dried up. Your ovulation day would be the last temperature before the three higher ones, so day 16. If it wasn't for your white circle temp on day 4, then the temps starting on day 17 would fit that rule, but then you have that odd day with watery fluid on day 20.

I would disregard the day 20 as it doesn't fit the pattern of temps and the run of fertile fluid that you have. If your temps didn't have that shift, it could be indicative that your body was still trying to ovulate, but that doesn't fit with the rest of your chart. Try changing the data to 'N/A' for your fluid on day 20 and see what it gives you. Change the detector around a bit too - there is a 'research' one which picks up some patterns not incorporated into the normal detector. You can always change everything back.

Jcandy · 17/10/2014 20:39

Thanks somesort!

Yes the line on the opk was definitely darker I had hardly any line for the days before and then suddenly it was really dark straight away.

It's my first month temping and it's just made me more confused lol. But I'll get rid of day 20 and have a play around with the settings. I think I might try temping vaginally next month to see if that helps! Thanks again Grin

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 17/10/2014 21:10

It'll be the time you take your temps that makes the difference. It has to be very consistent. I struggle with that too, so I get lots of white circles. It's better on school runs days when I have to wake up at the same time.

I've never temped vaginally. I am NOT a morning person and I struggle to find my mouth with the thermometer. I dread to think of the injuries I'd cause myself temping vaginally. Accidentally pierced labia, skewered clit... Oooofpfm. Grin

Jcandy · 17/10/2014 21:15

Hahaha hmmm errrr might try it but hopefully without the injuries Confused
The time isn't too bad for me as I have to get up to work at the same time every day then set my alarm at the weekend. I got back to sleep pretty quickly afterwards. Have a feeling I might be one of those people who likes catching flies when I sleep Blush Hmm

Boosk · 17/10/2014 21:16

Glad to hear you managed to get seen MrsE hope everything goes well on Monday Thanks

EnglishGirlsReturned · 17/10/2014 21:19

Spinning - i had a look at Hemsley and Hemsley in Tesco the other day, the recipes look delish!

Glad you saw your Dr MrsE, hope they manage to pin point what is wrong soon enough.

Treacle, really hope it's not HFM.

I'm so bloated...Scoffed dinner a bit quick I think - didnt stop me polishing of a 'Rachels chocolate pot'. So yum!! Need to do some serious work in the gym tomorrow!!

mzzzf · 17/10/2014 21:58

Anyone else getting wet eyes watching Stand Up 2 Cancer on channel4??!

Totes emotes - clearly a symptom! :-)

Treaclepie19 · 17/10/2014 22:00

I'm crying buckets mzzzf.
DH's mom has gall bladder cancer and my uncle has cancer also.
So difficult.

Definitely Mzzzf, DP discharged from oncology just a couple of months ago. Makes me think things could have been so different. We have been very lucky. From diagnosis to discharge in under a year.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 17/10/2014 22:09

The dr on Monday is hopefully going to allow me to have iron injections. As I can no longer take oral iron due to bowel and stomach problems. It's that or A blood transfusion. Don't want a blood transfusion. The pain is just wait and see. She did remind me each pregnancy is different. This one apparently I'm going to turn into an elephant! Wink It's soy triplets isn't it! Shock

Mumwannabe82 · 17/10/2014 22:12

OK slight panic, just been to the loo and there was slight brown discharge, think I'm clutching at straws now!! Sad

Treaclepie19 · 17/10/2014 22:13

Thanks sunbathing.
Boosk that must've been so difficult.

Oh MrsE what a stress for you. Sending hugs and support.

Boosk · 17/10/2014 22:16

Goodness treacle such a difficult time for you. Hugs and Thanks Thanks Thanks

Treaclepie19 · 17/10/2014 22:17

Thanks Boosk. We've been really lucky with both in some ways.
DH's mom was given 6 months and that was about 3 years ago now.
My uncle has a slow growing cancer.
