coffee How weird - no answers here sorry.

Toots Well done on sticking to it DTD so often. I am so tired and cm dried up today and it is sore down there. Thinking about not bothering tonight so can just get some sleep. Startig to wonder if I ov... First month temping, dayt 16 and no rise so far. getting worried fingers crossed - trying to think positive

I am off to a Match wedding next year too. I did online dating for a while trying to stop myself going back to abusive ex - when he tried to kill me I drew a line, moved us into hiding and after a year of working through some issues I had from the experience, I tried online again and had a couple blokes I was setting dates with when I met my DP on holiday. Long distance dating 2 months after we met and moved miles with my DS to be with him 7 months later. HAve lived here 1 year 7 months - couldn't be happier.

CoffeeTwo · 11/02/2015 22:31

Right, I'm all caught up as much as I can before bedtime.

Sorry to hear about your DH troubles victoria

Sorry about the BFNs giraffe and banana

purdey sorry you didn't get your temp :(

hope everyone has a cheerier day tomorrow.

mummyofonesofar · 11/02/2015 22:32

Sparkly harts looking great. On laptop tonight and no idea how to save mine to upload? What should I do - wet cm with high, soft, open cervix thismorning. Dry cm tonight, so dry it hurts to reach cervix! But chart makes today look like a great day on this mornings odds.

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 11/02/2015 22:40

Good luck noimno , my DH did a similar course as a mature student - hard work.
sparkly fx your chart stays like that.
I'm on Cd 26 and still no sign of anything, so tomorrow will make this the longest cycle since stopping bc. Temps have flatlined last couple of days so not sure what's going on. Don't want to poas until Saturday.

victoria401 · 11/02/2015 22:41

Hope you get some answers tomorrow coffee!

Just to say... I did meet dh on internet dating Hmm

purdeybirdie · 11/02/2015 22:45

Gennet beats Reprofit in the success stakes, Lucie. It's their embryologists, you see; at one point in 2014 they were having almost 100% fertilisation rates Shock Mind you..those are the stats for donor egg, I think. I'm not entirely sure of the own-egg (OE) success rates, but they're the highest in Europe, I believe. Why not pop over to the Fertility Friends Gennet Cycle Buddies forum - they are a fantastic bunch and there are currently a few ladies cycling (or waiting to cycle) who are using their own eggs.

I used Reprogenesis in Brno when I cycled and we now have a baby daughter conceived using donor egg. This was in 2013 and even then Reprofit did not have quite the same success rates. What drew you to them? Can I lob some advice your way? Don't undergo IVF without paying for the embryoscope too. Genius piece of equipment and absolutely essential, IMO.

Czech Republic was difficult for me as I've never been surrounded by so many alcoholics (and that's saying summat). They are literally falling over outside every shop. The food is shit, everyone is rude and there are more nutters per square mile than Glasgow. I'd like to tell you about the beautiful sights but there are none. When it comes to making babies though..they know their shit Smile Anyway, that's enough about Brno...Prague is supposed to be amazing! Good luck with your journey, Lucie. Don't go with your heart - go with the success rates Thanks

purdeybirdie · 11/02/2015 22:47

Nomio, just stand up and say: 'The biggest cause of schizophrenia is cannabis. Anyone who smokes this lazy-arsed shit deserves to go bastard cuckoo.'

purdeybirdie · 11/02/2015 22:52

Toots, here is my pregnancy chart from 2012. I had ewcm four days before ov (pinpointed correctly by opk and the BBT nadir). Weird, innit. There's no rhyme or raisin.

Rolling rolling rolling, the February bus is still rolling!
purdeybirdie · 11/02/2015 22:52

*Correction! It were free days before!

victoria401 · 11/02/2015 22:54

nomio we had a lecture a couple of weeks ago on certain things passing through the placenta from the mother that causes schizophrenia in that foetus as an adult. I can't remember what the exposure was from... My notes are in my locker still waiting to be typed up. This is very current research though. But they have proven through lab models that exposure to certain things in the first 9 weeks of preg, (such as booze, drugs, pesticides, metals) has the most affect and virtually nothing by trimester 3 will affect the baby as the neurons etc are mainly done and fixed. So care in the first 9 weeks ladies :-)

Sparkly123 · 11/02/2015 23:06

mummyofone another great internet success story. So sorry you had to go through the abuse etc on your journey to get here though.it would have taken so much strength in getting out. Flowers keep watch on temps.. You may just be OVing slightly later. I just take a screenshot on my laptop or on my phone and upload the pic .. No idea how you do it through FF although I know a lot of people do!! Your cm changed so much in one day.. Can you still dtd tonight just incase??

Purds glasgae Grin ha. We never notice it when we go.. Must be so used to it by now! Wink

Sparkly123 · 11/02/2015 23:08

Purdoo do you think because I had a dip pre positive BFP last cycle I would have to have another dip next time I get one or in your charting experience does it not always have to dip?

purdeybirdie · 12/02/2015 00:11

sparkly, the dip (or nadir) has proved to be successful in pinpointing ov in only 34% of cases. FF don't give a fig about the nadir; they go by the 'three over six' temp rule. I can feel your panic rising about this cycle. Please don't put pressure on yourself to win the jackpot on your first cycle post-mc. I'm sorry I fanned the flames yesterday Thanks

purdeybirdie · 12/02/2015 00:12

I can't believe anyone with an IQ over 72 reads the colossal pile of horse shit that is 50 Shades.

Sparkly123 · 12/02/2015 00:20

Purds! Ha no I meant implantation dip not OV. I've def OVd!! I actually think I'm ok about this "cycle".. I don't feel pressure as such,as I feel positive that it's gonna happen again soon for me, the odds are good I think. I think it's more the constant confusion over if this is even a cycle and when to expect a possible AF/miracle BFP you know? I should just chill the out and concentrate on- well nothing! But I like to know when to expect it's arrival, ha ha!

Sparkly123 · 12/02/2015 00:22

Oh and remember I've not even had a period since mc..was only 3 weeks ish ago.. So I don't really know what to expect here... I like to be prepared .. Not knowing arrival dates is clearly driving me into a mad woman! Ha

Nomio230 · 12/02/2015 02:19

Wow, so many amazing women on here who have found the strength to leave abusive relationships. I am so pleased you have all found nice guys eventually.

Purdey, I completely agree with you. I thought 50 Shades was the biggest pile of poo ever, yet everyone else in the world seems to love it!

Thank you for all the schizophrenia suggestions. I now have a giant list of both types & causes & am ready to face the world tomorrow!

BabyBumpHopeful · 12/02/2015 03:32

New stats! Let me know if I missed anything (the thread moves very quickly!)

australopithecus · 12/02/2015 04:35

coffee love your pt! Not so muhCH the confusion but the novelty value is great. If I were you I'd actually send the pic to customer services, and ask them wtf it means and I am pretty sure they'll send you a free apology pack!

MrsGingerbread · 12/02/2015 05:13

Uh oh! My bbt has dropped like a stone.

I'll start packing my bags to switch buses. :(

Good luck everyone!

Boosk · 12/02/2015 06:59

I'm with you gingerbread, brown Cm yesterday, temp crash today and feeling crampy. I'll gather up my stuff and we can set off on the March bus.

Sad to not join in the V day party but I'll pop along anyway with some nibbles and prosecco!

raggymay · 12/02/2015 07:01

Sorry to hear that MrsGingerBread. x
I'm with Purdey about FSoG. But it did get a lot of people into reading so it's not all bad.
I have a super squinter as they say on the U.S. TTC boards. Most normal people would have thrown it away as a negative but in the right light there's something there. That's going to drive me mad today. Can't wait to test again tomorrow morning.
