3catstoo · 18/10/2006 21:19

MrsM, My temp did go above coverline today, so software is saying that I ov'd today. I'd say yesterday was more likely.
CM has been a bit strange this week.

So do you think you've Ov'd yet or are about to?

Coggy, good luck in your attempts. Amazing that you've managed to BD so much with your DH on nights. Well done Mr and Mrs Coggy!

Babymad, hope you have a better day tomorrow and that your sickness is short lived.
A friend of mine recommended Evening Primrose for better skin. I haven't been to find any yet but I will at the weekend as my spots are getting me down a bit too. I'll let you know how I get on with it once I've tried it.
Big hugs to you. (((((((())))))))

Must do my shopping online now before I miss the deadline.

Take care All.

HI Everyone,

Babymad hope you are felling better soon.

Thanks for the tip MrsMcJnr - was v confused when coverline moved again this morning - have corrected it now and feeling better now that it has registered OV. Will be interesting to see this month how long it is until af as this is first month of charting.

fingers crossed for everyone on their 2ww now !!

Yes....just starting the 2WW....although could fit another BD in if DH wasn't working....shame....!!!
I'll see if he can muster any energy when he arrives home at seven in the morning!!!!
I'll tell him that it'll help him sleep better!!!

3Cats.........have you tried going online and then uploading?
Mine wouldn't upload for ages but when I went online first it did it straight away evry time.
Worth a try.

Thanks Coggy, I will try that next time.

Babymad2DS · 18/10/2006 23:54

Hi chart spotting bud's! DH came home early from work (2 instead of 6) bless and we picked up our boys from school together went for a walk and to the park felt so much better when I got back, thank you all for your concern, must of been you 3catstoo hoping it to be short lived thanks see how I feel tomorrow I really did feel shocking today!
3catstoo I was going to try zinc and omega 3-6-9 for my skin but I'll wait for AF first, can you take Evening Primrose while TTC?

coggy · 19/10/2006 08:27

Babymad...you need to check that....it could be just up to OV.
Have you tried echinaccea?
That is good to take at the first sign of a cold.....most of my family swear by it.

MrsMcJnr · 19/10/2006 09:43

Ladies, will go and inspect the charts but just wanted to say that you should only take EPO up to OV, it can be harmful to a baby. Apparently, flaxseed oil has similar properties and you can take it for your whole cycle. I have been taking EPO for months. I started taking it because my optician advised me that it would help my eyes produce more oil (I have very dry eyes). My eyes do seem better but I don't know if the EPO has helped with anything else, my skin has got bad since I came off the pill and nothing seems to help that!

Will come back after my inspection!

3catstoo · 19/10/2006 10:04

Glad you felt better yesterday afternoon Babymad.
Don't know about what to take when ttc, I've never really taken anything. I will check out the flaxseed though if EPO is not good after Ov.

My temp stayed above coverline today so I've definately Ov'd.

DH is back tonight. I can't wait.

Will check out the charts now.

3catstoo · 19/10/2006 10:11

Natty, Is your AF always fairly short?

Babymad2DS · 19/10/2006 10:46

When the chart's go to far down can we bump them up every now and again! It's not fair you guys know when i've been BDing from my chart! LOL!

MrsMcJnr · 19/10/2006 11:23

Hey Babymad - the charts are on here

Natty1806 · 19/10/2006 11:30

No it is normally a good 3 days of heavy ish bleeding followed by 2 days of heavyish spotting. This month it was 2 days spotting lead in (normally only 1) then 2 days full bleed and then light spotting for a few days after. Think it might be something to do with the clomid?

MrsMcJnr · 19/10/2006 11:34

Babymad - I show BDing on mine too because I'd prefer you all to spot the whole story and tell me if (or DH!) if we are not BDing enough or are doing so at the wrong times! You've certainly been busy that's good around that +opk you got. Glad you are feeling better.

Natty - 10 days till OV you said?

Stretchmarks - that's better! Funny that you dropped below coverline today, wonder why.

Coggy - looking text book this cycle! You seem like a good investment to me! Time to put your feet up now (though I hope you have already been doing that tip too!)

3Catstoo - looking good, depending what temp you have tomorrow, the software might recognise your thermal shift. Last cycle was the first in three that mine did. I normally OV CD16 - 18 so suspect I'll OV on Monday (well, hope I do anyway!)

Natty1806 · 19/10/2006 12:25

Yeah CD10 today so only another 7 or 8 days to go, did not bd last night. Will try again for some loving tonight but i am goign to be fake taning and will worry it will get smugged. LOL

Natty1806 · 19/10/2006 12:29

Fingers crossed for Coggy, Stretchmarks, babymad and 3cats (hope i did not miss anyone)

Just you and me Mrs waiting for ovulation to happen. xx

LOL Natty....I had a spray tan a couple of months ago and my nipples went really dark on the end.....DH didn't know about the tan and asked if I had got nipple rash!!!!!

Textbook......I like being that MrsMc!!!

Natty....your alcohol and exercise lines are both very impressive!!
I will start them next month too.

3cats....any more luck uploading?

Babymad....I was 'worried' about the BDing showing because I looked at the software gallery and saw that lots of people were getting up to it every night.....I was very embarrased with out relatively little amount of BDing and thought that everyone would think 'no wonder we're not getting pg'!!!!!

OP posts:
Natty1806 · 20/10/2006 07:44

Coggy - I am loving your thinkginh "I've come to the conclusion that there is no definitive way to get your BFP.....if you're going to get pg you will regardless!!! "

Which i think is true, i am not going to stress myself out this month doing it on certain days etc because it can happen by having sex 5 days before and also you can have an excellent month where you bd every other day legs in the air etc and still not fall because for whatever reason is wha not meant to be that month.

Am hoping it will happen to me soon though but am really losing the intest in worring about it all the time. Which is a good thing. Remind me of this in a weeks time when i have ovulated and kicking myself for not bding on the 'right' days.

Love and babydust to all.

It's tricky cos sometimes I really worry about it and other month's I'm quite relaxed.......relaxed this month.

TCOYF is a bit of a bugger tho'.............I am no longer textbook I'm afraid MrsMc and my coverline has changed???!!!!
It's also saying that it doesn't really know when I OV'd (although it did know yesterday??!!) despite having PEAK CBFM, EMCM and a temp rise!!!

Oh well...............

OP posts:
Natty1806 · 20/10/2006 09:23

Depending on what your temp is tomorrow it might change it back again.

I feel like i am about to come on but only on CD11 do you think this is linked to ovulation? Might try and get a sneaky bd session in before i go out this evening, will only have a hour so dog will be having a quick walk. x

coggy · 20/10/2006 09:34

I had slight cramps before OVing this time...never noticed it before...so I guess it could well be.....

Get on with it anyway...it can't hurt!!!

Just checked chart....had cramps on the day (or day before depending how accurate the software is) of OV......so definitely fit in some BDing if you can.

Natty1806 · 20/10/2006 10:26

Thanks coggy will try.

Babymad2DS · 20/10/2006 11:11

Morning all.
DH and i did manage to BD last night but now it's the bit i hate, the waitting game! Temp was higher this morning for some reason, i'll have to wait and see what the next few days of days are like!

How si everyone?

MrsMcJnr · 20/10/2006 11:53

Morning all. Laptop wilderness but temps jumped up to 36.4 this morning. It does look a bit like OV on my chart as I was down at 35.9 yesterday but OPKs say no and I think I had high temps because I have a headache and the begins of a cold. Could be why I was feeling so down yesterday. I have been trying the legs in the air trick, DH thinks I'm insane!

Natty - good quality CM by the looks of things, sure the dog won't mind the short walk

Stretchmarks - that's a better temp! How are you feeling?

Coggy - Your temp might go up tomorrow and then it'll show the thermal shift. I had a coverline that high on cycle 2, it changed after OV and I wondered whether it was to see a triphasic shift? fingers crossed.

3catstoo - what did you temp do this am?

Babymad2DS · 20/10/2006 12:05

Sounding good MrsMcJur fingers crossed for you!
