Purdey That is MASSIVE FAb news on the job.. and that is a sexy chart!

FX for you!!

GP confirmed i am an unremarkable 4 weeks pg today!

PurdeyBirdie · 24/02/2015 17:03

Mummy, if you look carefully at those charts where I have had a fifteen-day luteal phase, the date of ovulation has been pinpointed inaccurately by FF. This month, FF says I am 15dpo today but I have altered my ov day. Who knows who's bloody right? Confused

Nomio, I have had the occasional hot flashes on 100mg, most definitely. My skin has been pretty bad in the 2ww and appetite monstrous. No libido whatsoever but that is a given when progesterone is as high as mine (122). I have also gained this annoying six pounds which is impossible to shift with this progesterone level.

Aurora, I don't understand stats. I've never looked at stats on my charts. What do I do (or, alternatively, can you tell me what you have seen?)

mummyofonesofar · 24/02/2015 17:03

Don't stop temping Purds at least you can always see if AF is coming. Fx for another high one tomorrow!

mummyofonesofar · 24/02/2015 17:07

With the missed temp around ov day, you could have ov'd a day or even 2 later than we think. I will be so so pleased for you if you are pg but trying to do a Purdey and protect you just incase. X

mummyofonesofar · 24/02/2015 17:09

Rechecked chart - Not 2 days, just one day later.

PurdeyBirdie · 24/02/2015 17:10

Mummy, just to clarify, FF wanted to pin ov on CD18 but I disagreed and placed it at CD19. This means FF thinks I am 15 dpo today, whereas I 'know' I am 14dpo. If FF are correct this is even more exciting!

Toots, thanks for being so excited for me Smile Massive congrats on the baby-making Thanks

Juney, I just want you to know how excited and terrified I am for you this cycle. I am so afraid of a bfn when it has been such an adventure and delivery cock-up You must be terrified, too. Are you? I know you have Plan B if this fails but we are all rooting so much for you for this cycle. It just feels enormously right that you should be pregnant any day now. You're being very brave and very cool. We love you, missus Thanks

BowiesJumper · 24/02/2015 17:12

You're all really kind!

purdey, amazing work on the job front! Well done, sounds really interesting.

I am also flummoxed by my chart/temps (which is why I had a dr appointment booked in!). I think I'm just shit at taking my temperature to be honest!

mrsb, I've been having twinges in my lower abdomen for a few days, could be a good sign!

BowiesJumper · 24/02/2015 17:15

juney, I have a good feeling about your globe trotting sperm!

PurdeyBirdie · 24/02/2015 17:18

Mummy, thank you for being rational with me, I do appreciate it.

Ugh. I'm sorry if my post to you sounded patronising, Juney. Just wanted you to know I share your agony and I've been there in my Nancy-2ww. So much more than cash is invested when we have paid good money to try to get pregnant. I really would love to see this work for you xx

mummyofonesofar · 24/02/2015 17:20

Ooh more exciting Purdey!! I really hope you are pregnant!

Just did a cheapy. Bfn.

I conclude this 2ww thing is harder than I ever imagined.

Sparkly123 · 24/02/2015 17:23

Purds your chart is hot. It's a good one. Compare it to your others and it's looking really positive! You know I'm all for positivity and expecting the best outcome.. But, and I hate saying this as I want to keep your spirits up!!- after last months temping I'm pretty confused about charts as -like yours- mine looked on the money and temps were so high and then AF arrived. So I'm gonna try my best not to read too much into charting this cycle. I'm gonna do it, and I find it helpful to know when to stop AI as temps do confirm OV for me.. I just think it doesn't help me to
Focus on my temps every day as it only causes more anxiety.. Basing on last month and my BFP chart- anything can happen! So.. As confusing as it is. Try try try to keep the head!... Everything will be clear in next couple days I would say.. And if still no AF.. Your hunk of a gp?? Sending Flowers

Juney I'm excited for you. You could be preggers!!! I hope so so much you are. Those spermies are well travelled, they will know what to do! Wink

toots great great news!!!! Congrats!!!

PurdeyBirdie · 24/02/2015 17:25

Mummy, I apologise. Yes, looking at my chart I can see how it is quite possible I ov'd on cd20. The only reason I am convinced of CD19 is the rather powerful ov pains I had that morning and evening. Really obvious pains. Do you think ov pains can occur a whole day before ov?

I'm sorry about your bfn. They are so excruciatingly shit.

Sammy, thanks for keeping my feet on t'ground. How are you doing, love?

Sparkly123 · 24/02/2015 17:25

mummy TWW is a killer yes. I wish we could all just take a two week holiday.. Every two weeks! Sun sea sand would be a nice distraction and the vitamin d would go down a treat too!! Positive thoughts to you lovely Flowers

mummyofonesofar · 24/02/2015 17:35

Last cycle I had awful ov pains on cd16 and AF didn't turn up until cd32/1 but I'm not sure if my pains we're accurate or not as I wasn't temping. I'm sure it's not exact but mine were about right.

mummyofonesofar · 24/02/2015 17:36

Thanks sparkly sun sea and sand would do me very nicely! Snowing here again this afternoon Sad off to zumba tonight, will warm me up and distract me for at least an hour!

PurdeyBirdie · 24/02/2015 17:36

Sparkly, thanks, my love. This feeble conjecture and infantile hope is just ghastly. I know I'm not pregnant...so why can't I just patiently wait for AF instead of weaving all these fantasies of false negatives?

eskimolaura · 24/02/2015 17:38

Hello ladies, I've just been reading your discussion about B6 and thinking 'oooo, I wonder if this could be a reason for my lengthy LP and the fact that AF hasn't visited yet? I will go and check the label on my conception vitamins... The verdict? A measly 1.4mg! I don't think that can be it then...

Another day with minimal signs. Had the tiniest of tiny little red spots in my pants, but TBH I could have caused that this morning poking around with my stooped fingers, checking my CM, which, BTW is still plentiful, sticky and creamy (sorry TMI). I do have quite a 'full' feeling in that area, but not sure what that means.

Purdey I so want you to get your BFP this month, but have no advice I'm afraid. Your day sounds really productive- congrats on the placement! I think that the hours will exhaust you at first, but you can always nap when you get home, and I think that the job will definitely improve your energy levels in the long run :)

Welcome back Sparkly Good to see you again :)

FX for everyone else. Juney I might have missed this, but when are you planning to poas?

eskimolaura · 24/02/2015 17:40

stooped fingers? Clearly I mean 'stoopid'. Stoopid me.

loopylou1984 · 24/02/2015 17:42

I'm ok thanks, just trying not to look for symptoms and willing the days to pass! Lol.
I don't know how I'd get through all this waiting without you and everyone else on these threads to keep me sane! Xx

Sparkly123 · 24/02/2015 17:46

Purds why can't you give up? ... Because!... There is ALWAYS hope! You ARE the 1%.

Thanks Eskimo my b6 in my vitamin is about the same.. Teeny!!

Should I be over on march if my BFP is due then? Confused I can't keep up with two buses!!

mummyofonesofar · 24/02/2015 17:52

Mine is the same 1.4mg - tis why I switched back to seven seas.

sparkly nooo don't leave us!!

loopylou1984 · 24/02/2015 17:53

Purdey - look what I had today

The wheels on the February bus go round and round
mummyofonesofar · 24/02/2015 17:58

On a non ttc (but not talking about it in rl due to judging) note. My DP was given a work van today after finally getting his licence back last week after a drink driving offence oct 2012. Relieved that I no longer have to do ALL the running about and don't have to drive myself anywhere whilst in labour.

scrunchiemount · 24/02/2015 18:00

Having sharp ovulation like pains now...the saga continues!!

auroraboringalis · 24/02/2015 18:05
