rough how wonderful! Congratulations!!

loopylou1984 · 25/02/2015 07:43

That should have read temp lower by 0.06! So hardly anything... But at 9dpo it shouldn't be anyway! Xx

raviolig · 25/02/2015 07:48

Congratulations rough, definitely see all 3.

Thought I would try again this morning, BFN. It is so disheartening. Still too early though, or so I am telling myself.

dojo123 · 25/02/2015 08:05

Morning

rough I don't think they are evap lines but I would test again tomorrow or Friday and hopefully there will be an even stronger line.

purdey how are you doing? Any update?

Here is my chart now CD22 7DPO. Temp rise again this morning but trying not to get too excited still a week off testing.

Congrats rough.. Definitely lovely little pink lines on those !

mummyofonesofar · 25/02/2015 08:35

Must stop googling temp drops below cover line at 12dpo resulting in BFP and do some work!!!

Hairstylisttoboris · 25/02/2015 08:51

mummy I spend my days googling stuff like that too. Sigh. If I find any useful research for you I'll send you a link.

PurdeyBirdie · 25/02/2015 09:06

Aw, Mummy, massive temp plummet to coverline here, too. My overwhelming feeling when I saw it was relief. Honestly. I cannot cope with the pretence and the bonkers delusion at the end of the 2ww. Thanks for you, though.

Giddy, I'm sure you were probably puzzled by my fingers comment but I chortled at the time of reading your post as you said, 'I am crossing all of my fingers', as though you had some missing but were were galliantly crossing the rest Grin

I absolutely could not write an autobiography. I struggle with blogs and books written about the authors lives as it all seems so..self-aggrandising (plus it would have to be X-rated) Hmm

Congratulations, lovely Rough! Thanks How exciting!

PurdeyBirdie · 25/02/2015 09:11

Dojo, what a scrummy chart! You are right, though, not to get excited by high temps at 7dpo; so much can happen in the following week

I am coming off Clomid this next cycle, but will cheekily still get day 21 bloods done to check I am ovulating on my own. I am sick of waiting nineteen days to ovulate and then having 14/15 day luteal phases. It is excruciatingly boring.

Giddymamma · 25/02/2015 09:16

Ahhh.... Thought you were referring to rubbish typing....

Ah purds. Sorry for temp dip.

mummyofonesofar · 25/02/2015 09:19

Aww sorry for your temp drop Purds Flowers for you too. I was also slightly relieved so I can stop testing like a man woman. and I enjoyed a cappuccino this morning Grin

mummyofonesofar · 25/02/2015 09:20

Obviously meant mad woman. I am not really a man just here for the cm descriptions. rubs knees

Giddymamma · 25/02/2015 09:22

Just out of interest, would anyone fancy turning the bus into a luxury liner? I quite like the idea of a sun terrace, some tennis courts, a pool, occasional dip in the turquoise sea, nice scenery, possibly a school of dolphins accompanying us on the starboard side, champagne / mock tails at sundown, twirls and avocado truffles being brought round on trays by handsome waiters.... This bus is lovely but can conjure up dreary images and think we deserve a treat? I'm going to pop to the on board cinema while littl'un naps

scrunchiemount · 25/02/2015 09:22

so I did an IC test late last night and got what I think was a very smudgey positive - then another one this morning and pretty sure was negative although couldn't wait the whole ten mins as was late for work and pee was pretty dilute as had had a shedload of water before bed...

so CONFUSED. Really feel in my heart of hearts AF is coming so wish these tests would stop messing with me (ok might be a little bit my fault for being a POAS addict Blush)...temps still high but pretty normal for 10dpo. AF should be due tomorrow but as I o'd late this cycle (day 18) I guess I should give it til at least saturday right? Am saving my last FRER for that.

Here's hoping some more of you lovely ladies get your BFPs today or tomorrow x

Giddymamma · 25/02/2015 09:23

Laughing at mummy's slip up, revealing true identity. Shock

Giddymamma · 25/02/2015 09:26

Ah scrunchie. Wish I could help. I really thought would be easy to find out if you were upduffed but learnt from bus (luxury liner) that it is full of mind games and anguish. I wish you lots of luck. X

scrunchiemount · 25/02/2015 09:36

Thank you, Giddy! It is only our second month seriously ttc so to be honest I am being a bit ridiculous given what some of you other ladies have been through x

ThePug · 25/02/2015 09:38

Morning all.
I have FMU in a pot in the bathroom. Dithering over whether to test today. I'm inclined to get rid of it and test tomorrow instead, because if it's BFN tomorrow I must be well & truly out (today being CD31/16DPO). I just read the leaflet in the Superdrug tests and it says can be used "from 4 days before period is due, calculated 15 days after ovulation". So if I got my Ov date wrong, I might still only be at the earliest testing stage (even though they are meant to be super sensitive).

Mummy get off our bus, you old perv!

Scrunchie How many tests in total have you done this cycle? How many +/-?

scrunchiemount · 25/02/2015 09:48

ThePug four tests thus far - two definite -, one that looked like a definite but faint +, one potential +.

Am setting myself a target of not testing til saturday now. I think it's too early for anything definitive to show. If my temps drop in the next couple of days I'll know I'm out without having to hang around trying to aim my wee into a cup!

Giddymamma · 25/02/2015 09:52

Pug, test test test! (Graciously allowing others to be voice of reason. ) good luck when you both do test. Xxx

tessiegirl · 25/02/2015 10:14

Morning all!!! I really hope you don't mind me popping back on here but I could really do with a bit of advice from anyone who uses the Clearblue Dual Hormone tests/monitor or anyone else who fancies taking a look at my predicament! Thank you!

Yesterday morning I did a Clearblue Dual Hormone opk and got a flashing smiley, so a 'high' reading. Then in the afternoon I used an internet cheapy opk and got a very strong positive so in the evening I did another Clearblue Dual Hormone test and got a peak Shock reading! Now, my question is do I class yesterday as my first peak day (even though I didn't get a peak until around 8pm) or, as this peak was in the evening would it still make today my first peak day? So bloody confused and not sure what to put on my ff chart!!!!! Confused Confused Confused See, normally I wouldn't have even done a second Clearblue opk test in the evening so I would have woken up this morning to my first peak reading, BUT it suddenly dawned on me yesterday that had I done what I normally do then we could potentially have missed vital hours to get those spermies in place...does that make sense? I hope so! Smile

auroraboringalis · 25/02/2015 10:57

pug yes?

juneybean · 25/02/2015 11:03

Morning lovelies! 9dpo feeling nothing today but cm still creamy.

Took 3 year old for babycino and actually felt sad as I want to take my own for coffee slept poorly again but think it's the Muppet cat who cannot fathom out burying her poo and insists on clicking her claws on the tray instead for ten minutes at 3am

scrunchiemount · 25/02/2015 11:07

juneybean glad to see someone else has problems sleeping because of a cat - my temps are always a bit nuts because my two insist on waking me up at 4am by pawing at my feet!

auroraboringalis · 25/02/2015 11:18

scrunch juney I think ff should have a box to tick for "have a cat" and a temperature algorhythm adjustment for those of us who do.
