TCOYF Software Spotters!!!

[coggy]

Pefect for us spotters and knicker watchers!!!!!

Good idea Natty.

Here's my sad little chart for this month!!!!

Well i have had EWCM a few times this week but not much of it at all. IYSWIM but you can't record that on the sheet.

Clomid users - when on this does your ov day stay roughly the same and your LP days? Its just my lap & dye is when my period is due i think and i will need to have it moved and not sure when to ring up etc and i have go really achey period pains today which makes me think i may ov earlier??

Doesn't take a lot to confuse me does it. LOL

Think you may need to ask tht on the clomid thread Natty......my OV changes quite a bit because some months I've had the hcg jab and somne month's Ihaven't.

Also...the clomid is helping to lenghten my LP so it has gradually got longer.....I will be interested what will happen to it this month as it is my first charted month of it.

Sorry....I am no help!!!

I've got a spare few minutes.....decided to use the time wisely and look in great detail at everyone's charts....................

MrsMc.............you first...........hmmmmm.....several alcohol days.....(glad I didn't put all mine down this month and I am drinking red wine now too BTW....oops!!!!!)

Good BD on CD6 to get rid of that dead old stuff!!!

What else.........?

..........oh yeah....keep meaning to ask.....oatmeal?? Is there some ttc significance to that?

BDing and CM look good together....no +ve opk yet tho......still got plenty of days......

You had a big dip on CD11 last month too.......oooooooooooooooohhh........and the month before.....spoooooooooooooooooooooky!!!!!!!

And y'see...this is what I mean about it'll happen when it happens because your BDing was really spot on last cycle and cycle 2....there is no real answer is there??

Think I've exhausted myself on you and your cycles!!!!!!!
Don't think I've got much energy left for any others!!!!
I'll go look..................

Babymad............you next....!

Does the CM smily face mean semen obscured?

That's weird with all your +ve opks isn't it?
I remember when you were getting them all but it's even stranger to see them all on a chart together.

Any answers to that one?

I also agree that it's really hard to see when you have OV'd by using your temps......
You say you take it at more or less the same time each day?

No onvious leap anywhere this month yet.........a mega leap last cycle tho.....CD12.............August has a bit of a CD12 jump too.......maybe a funny month this month with you being so poorly maybe????

Sorry.....not much help am I?!

Oh.............DH's programme has just ended....I'll have a good old look at Natty's, Stretch's and 3cats later on......not that I'm any help...but I do like having a darn good nosey at it all every now and again!!!!!

Plus...I get the record of the most posts in a row I reckon!!!!!

Thanks about the clomid ov question i will go and post it on the clomid thread.

Yeah i was wondered what this oatmeal was

Well did not get my sneaky bd session last night so got in bit of a strop.

Oh well at least when AF arrives i know it is because we have not bd enough and then i can blame that on OH. he he he

Morning Ladies. CD18 today temp went up again today .

coggy, The smiley face means EWCM/slippery,
The +opk will be, if I have it, down to PCOS which I'm being tested for if I haven't doctor said could be down to a bad hormonal imbalance.
I take me temp at 7.00am on the dot every day I'm a good girl .
I love last cycle chart really dose look like a great normal chart, I was taking "dong quai" to sort out my hormonal did the trick, great temp, better skin, fab EWCM (6inch stretchy) but then I found this web site saying that "dong quai" is used as a herbal abortions, well that was it I stopped taking it, than 24 hours later I had these rapid but very light contractions, so now I'm not taking anything, the bad thing is I tuck the dong quai stuff to my doctor and asked him weather I could take them while TTC and he just said I know nothing about herbal stuff, so I looked on a few website and it seemed find to take, oh well we live and learn, the hard way!

I forgot one thing I was ill on the CD5-6-14 which there is a temp thing going on CD5 i had a big dip (still on AF) CD6 had a big rise, and CD14 alittle rise not nothing that stands out! And i was taking medications which you can see on my chart CD6-13! I cant make head or tail out of my chart either!

Afternoon ladies - thought I'd check in before going for a chart spot!

Thanks for your positive vibes about my chart Babymad DH is quite into it this month, with the wearing boxers, taking his vits without prompting and lots of BDing - what a man!

Natty - sorry you didn't get your BD last night hope your dog got a good walk instead! Glad you brought up EWCM - I am confused (and don't have my TW book at the mo) TMI alert - if you have clear, stingy, 2 inch long stuff but not really watery in itself mixed with milky CM - is that EWCM or is it sticky pre-fertile stuff with some creamy CM - in other words, would you count this as stage 3 and 2 fertile CM or as stage 1 and 2 non-fertile to fertile CM??

Wow Coggy - feel very honoured to have my own post!! about the alcohol, well you see, yeah but no but yeah - did have booze every day BUT much less than usual overall. I don't know how I could record volumes on this chart as that would be useful but I have been recording my drinking on the DownMyDrink site and I have only had 12 units so far this week - some days only hd 125ml of wine. I take your point though, particularly as I'll be coming to the 2WW soon. I am going to be dry Mon - Fri this week and keep weekend drinking to under 13 units (am at a wedding next Sat) Evening drinking is a very bad habit of mine and I do find it hard to give up my glass or two of wine

Oatmeal - according to the ovusoft website dwellers, it can help with CM but I actually have porridge for breakfast everyday during the week anyway so I thought, what the hell, I'll put it on my chart!

I know what you mean about my CD11 dip, it's almost as if my body starts the OV process but there is not enough estrogen yet to continue it and so it waits until the following week. I agree about there being no way to say whether or not you've cracked it by BD on fertile days - there must be another formula that we just don't know about

Babymad - do you think it is possible that you OV on CD15 this cycle? With the +OPK (though I know you get those all the time), the CM and the temps, you could of, I suppose the next few days temps will tell. Haven't heard the word "coitus" (it's on your chart) for ages .

Natty and Coggy your temps seem good

Shame Stretchmarks's and 3Catstoo's charts seem to have a glitch in updating - I want to know what happens next!!

As you can't see mine updated, I'll give you an update - temp 36.1 today (so do think yesterday's 36.4 high was due to not feeling very well), -opk (which is bugging me as the last 2 cycles I've had +opks on CD16) but have BD on 3 of the last 6 so called fertile days so hopefully, we are giving things a good shot. Planning to try and BD everyday until day after OV.

MrsMcJnr I hope i have OVed on CD15 or even CD16 (you never know) would be nice as that might mean i have a shot at least, this cycle but we'll see, I've never heard the word "coitus" ever myself!

Really? not even "coitus interputus?!" Think that means getting off the train at the station before the end of the line

MrsMcJur really

HI Everyone,

Not updated my chart yet as free trial has run out and need to do it on the other PC. But my temp was back down to coverline this morning !!!!

Hope you're all having a good weekend.

Have updated my chart now and checked it against my paper copy and realised I had put a wrong temp in on day 11 which is why it had calculated the coverline so high it is now in the same place where I had drawn it from reading the book - no wonder I've been so confused by it!!!!

Hopefully will be able to get plenty of BD-ing in at the right time next month although I have DH's nan staying with us for a week then

I suppose I shouldn't give up hope yet for this month but I feel as if AF is on way.

Morning all - how are we all? What do you make of my dodgy chat?

Stretchmarks - your chart looks fine now. Hope AF doesn't arrive, fingers crossed.

you chart looks like body wanted to ov on CD15 then changed its mind, were you stressed?

Mine is not looking interesting yet and tbh i have not bd much at all so am ruling this month out anyway.

Morning All.

Hope you all had a good weekend.

We went away to do our 'moving' research.
It was my birthday too.

My chart has gone a bit funny. My coverline has changed almost everyday. Now it looks like I didn't Ov. The software is saying Ov was on 18th based purely on saliva ferning.
Not sure when to expect AF now.

Think you're right Natty.

Where are you moving to 3cats?

Maybe you will ov this cycle but just later due to stress etc. You have had a lot happening this month, if it turns out to be an annovulatory (?) cycle at least you will know as you are temping and so it will not be so dishearting when AF arrives.

Hope you do ov though. xx

Belated Happy Birthday 3cats

Thanks Natty.

Thinking of moving to the Reigate area as DH is moving jobs (within the same company) to East Croydon. He starts on 1st Nov. His journey time will be 2 hrs each way!

Can anyone hazard a guess as to what's happening with my temps.
Although I had EWCM, there wasn't much at all. Maybe I haven't Ov'd yet or won't this month.
Typical, the first month DH shows signs of coming around and my body holds out on me.

Happy belated birthday from me too 3cats.
I'm off to look at the charts as I haven't for the past day or two.

My chart is doing a rather neat post-OV zig-zag pattern!!!

AF cramps today tho'..........5dpo.
Here we go again...................
I was hoping that my LP would stay longer for at least one cycle after having the clomid.
Bugger!

MrsMc...........I agree with Natty.
If you hadn't done any opk's I would have said that you had OV'd on CD14 as you had a big rise....but because your temp then drops back down again....prob not.
Are you going to continue with the OPK's until you get a +ve or AF?

I had a non-OV month (can't spell the proper name!!![bluah]) about 6 cycles ago so I'm probably due another soon..........think they say 1 in 10 is average.

Thanks Coggy.
