MrsMc.....looks like a perfect start to your post-OV period to me!!

Babymad....yup....on the up.

Natty......I also cheat and overide OV and I put on which days I need to BD to see what ones are the best and then delete them all!!!
Glad we are all as bad as each other!!!

3Cats...hmmmmm.......could the spotting be implantation as your temps have gone up again this morning.....would be fab if it was.

Stretch.........are you going to wait a couple of days before re-testing?

I have one of those saliva monitors.
I didn't trust it on it's own so used it with Persona just to confirm things.
Now I use around the build up to Ov and it seems to fit in with the temping too.

I'm having really bad cramps today and have the telltale spots on my chin. I'm sure AF will arrive this weekend.

Enjoy your parties girls.

MrsMcJnr · 28/10/2006 08:58

Hello! Came for a uick chart spot before going to the hairdresser but no one's postd yet ! My temp is 36.3 todau, down by .2 but still .3 above coverline so nothing to report from me.

3catstoo - hope that is not AF on her way .

I'll read up on the saliva thingys, need something new to try next cycle anyway.

Coggy - hope you are feeling a bit better today

Thinking about you Stretchmarks - keep us posted

MrsMcJnr · 28/10/2006 08:59

sp! sorry!

This software is too intelligent for it's own good!!!
Without seriously lying (?!) I can't get it to show my temps this morning as staying the same.....I know it's adjusting for the clock change....but it gives the impression that my temps are going up and sadly THEY ARE NOT!!!!!!!!

Anyone else battling with it or should I just accept that it knows best??!!!
Or am I just up too early on a Saturday morning and I should have better things to worry about???!!!

Ooh!
Hello MrsMc.........obviously I'm NOT up too early if you are too.............must have been posting at the same time!!!

OP posts:
MrsMcJnr · 28/10/2006 09:08

Hello Coggy - promised myself I'll go in just 5 more mins. I just let the software increase my time of testing from 6.30 to 6.50 and the fig stayed the same. Actually, it was 6.50 before I tested though! So you stayed the same. How are you feeling today? I actually felt a bit sick when I woke up but it is just ridiculous and I am probably imaging it!

coggy · 28/10/2006 09:13

I still have AF cramps..........I was surprised that my temps didn't go down today.

It funny cos I wish it would just hurry up and come if it's coming but at the same time i don't want another month where my LP os only 9 dpo.

Does that make sense??

NEVER been so PMTish in my life as yesterday!!!
Stand back everyone!!
Just as well ther only place I went out was to take the dog for a walk on the beach.....I didn't have to see or speak to anyone apart from my poor DH!!!!!

Natty1806 · 28/10/2006 09:47

Coggy i hate it when i am in one of those moods, i took my temp at 5.50 today as recommended by the software and it did not change it, tomorrow i have got to do it at 5.10 but it will be wrong anyway as i will prob get in at 3 am ish drunk so temp will be invalid.

maybe you are so moody cause your pregnant? Going to look at you chart now then off to the gym. x

Natty1806 · 28/10/2006 09:58

Coggy - strange how it is still keeping your coverline so high i would put it at .7

3cats - how is your spotting now? Tempted to test?

Babymad2DS · 28/10/2006 10:27

Morning Ladies!

Everyone's chart is looking really good , mine just throws up alot of questions, when, where and all that. CD25, Temp went back down this morning watch out AF is on her way. OH AF due on Monday NOT Sunday don't know why I thought Sunday , oh well I will have a good weekend without it, so testing on Tuesday but only if AF doesn't turn up by then, which I think it will. Getting a little worried about the scan and x-ray now, a week on Wednesday, internal thing and the discomfort of the x-ray, ! If I don't get to chat with you all today I hope you all have a lovely weekend, And good luck for those that are testing!
P.A.R.T.Y. P.A.R.T.Y. P.A.R.T.Y. Just getting in the mood.

babymad......your scan and xray will be fine....try not to worry.

I have had to have lots of internal scans and yes, they are a little uncomfortable, but it is all worth it if you get you BFP in the end.........try to focus on that (and enjoy your party!!!!! )

natty.....I am ignoring that stupid coverline!!
I guess when AF comes it will stick it down somewhere??!!
It was 36.7 last month and I would agree that it should be this month too but I guess as one of my post-OV temps was dead on .7 it didn't like it and said I hadn't OV'd!!!
Good job I had my CBFM eh??!!

Hiya! Mind if I join you? Persona seems to be either letting me down, or telling me what I don't want to hear this time around. If it's to be believed I haven't ovulated in my last 2 cycles. I'm not convinced!
I've now bought a load of Ov Tests from ebay, and tomorrow will be popping over to boots for a BD thermometer (am I right in thinking that a thermoscan ear one won't do the job?). I've downloaded the software free trial, and am trying to get my head around it as we speak. Got a bit of time to get the hang of it, as am now in the 2WW, and DH won't be here for my next fertile window (he flew off to Belize on Wednesday ).
Any advice to make the charting software easy to use gratefully received.

Welcome BBWBabeLisa

Yes...I believe you need a specific BBT thermometer as the temps measured are quite small increases and decreases.

The software can be a bit frustrting at times.....especially at the beginning....but I find it excellent now I have a few month's data and I can see very similar patterns.

I use temps as well as a fertility monitor and noting CM....with all three you get a much better idea of what's going on.

You should also be able to upload your software so we can all look at it and 'help'!!
You probably need the bought version for that tho so see how you get on with it.

If you want to compare our charts....they're all on this thread..... here
Scroll down and follow the link for each's person's data.
HTH a bit.

Oh BTW......you'll notice I succumbed this morning and got a bfn........gone 10dpo WITH NO MEDS!!!!!!!
Now it can hurry up and come!!!!

Morning everyone and welcome BBW, Well af arrived yesterday along with a horrendous hangover from my friday night out - I will never ever drink wine again !!!! Well at least not that much. Are there any other hangovers out there today - Natty ? Babymad ?

coggy - may stillbe too early keeping finger crossed af doesn't arrive.

Am sending all my BFP thoughts to everyone still on thier 2WW.

Natty1806 · 29/10/2006 09:24

Morning Ladies

Welcome BB

Sorry to hear about AF Stretch at least you have a chart to compare to next month.

As for hangovers i am okay ish this morning, managed to drink 4 cocktails and about 8 archers and lemonades, never really a good idea to get into rounds with boys, i had to go home at 1 as i was tired and couldn't drink anymore. Woke up in the middle of the night and was sick so am feeling okay today.

Have been having a few niggly cramps which i am sure i am reading too much into, 5DPO so only 9 more to go.

Going chart spotting now.x

Coggy sorry about the BFN maybe too early will go and look at your chart now. x

Natty1806 · 29/10/2006 09:28

3 cats - testing soon????
