Thank you for that stats Smile

So, annoyingly I woke up an hour early this morning, and my temp went down a bit, I used the bbt adjuster and it put it back to pretty much the same as yesterday.... Have attached both charts, what do people think??

Well done ladies for sorting out the stats. You really do an amazing job on such a fast moving thread.

Cariad there you are!! 6dpo here - so we are close together again. How exciting about the puppy! What a lovely idea. :) Are you looking for a certain breed?

We have cats that we love to pieces. In fact we discussed only yesterday if we could love a baby more than our moggies I am sure we will when the time comes...

My epic decluttering weekend has been very satisfying but also exhausting. I love that everything is getting more organised and I am feeling much more in control about everything.

To mark the edd of my two losses we have decided to sponsor a little girl in the 3rd world. The bio on her arrived of Friday and I had a little blub (too early to call that a symptom - I'm just a softie!) It feels nice now that something positive has come out of it, in a weird way.

Daffodil Happy Monday everyone. Daffodil

sammy chart looks great. When are you going to poas?

loopylou1984 · 02/03/2015 07:18

Well I guess tomorrow if temps are still high. It's very odd as I feel exactly like I do before every af, but my temps have never stayed this high this late before and I haven't done anything to lengthen my LP as far as I know.....

Lovely idea about sponsoring the little girl, what kind of things do you get to know about her? Xx

spinningirl10 · 02/03/2015 07:19

Morning Grin

Great job on the stats, I can see them from the app.

MrsG, what a lovely thing to do,
What's the little girl called and how old is she?

Cariad, a puppySmile ah I'm Envy i really want a puppy. Ex dh took my dog and I miss her so much. What breed are you getting? Sorry your edd's are almost here. I've been there and it's q tough time. And with the law of sod, having a small puppy is sure to bring you your sticky bfp.

Coffee, I feel like you todaySad dp and I didn't manage to dtd last night. I got a positive opk yesterday. He said he's fed up with having to have sex. Then he said maybe we should bin it and went to sleepSad it's so hard, does he not think I'm pissed off with the constant cycles, the hoping and then the let down. I just said that saying maybe we should bin it sounds like we're talking about a trip to the cinema not having a baby.
Anyway he's been snoring all night and I've hardly slept. I think we need to talk.

PurdeyBirdie · 02/03/2015 07:22

What a positive thing to do, MrsG Smile

Sammy, I don't like those temperature adjusters and think they give false hope. Your chart is terrific still without the adjustment. You have usually seen such a dip by now Smile

Juney! Have you tested?

I'm off to get my ear syringed this morning. Ugh, the weather is wild here...

mummyofonesofar · 02/03/2015 07:24

spinning that was insensitive of him. Hope you have a good talk and he realises it's been a strain on you too.

Cd35 17dpo. 7 days late by normal cycle timings. 3 days later than my longest ever cycle. I think I clearly ov'd by temp rise, surely my body has to get rid of the egg eventually if the spermies didn't make it! This is driving me mad.

PurdeyBirdie · 02/03/2015 07:32

Spinning, I'm so sorry for you. I've been there and, as I've over shared many times, long-term ttc ruined our sex life. It is terrible for the men to have to perform on demand and yet we are desperate..desperate for the bloody sperm. I don't know what the answer is for you. We now do artificial insemination, as you know, which is just brilliant in terms of taking the pressure off and getting loads and loads of sperm in situ before, during and after ovulation. I really feel it is the perfect solution for us. I know, however, it isn't for everyone.

Communication is key: he has to step up and have sex with you at the right time if you are to have a chance of conceiving; He has to get his head around the fact that this is no longer the free and easy sexy sex you were perhaps having before TTC became more desperate and pressured. You have to accept he is not willing/able to produce the goods day after day over a high-pressure fertile window. There is simply no need for SMEP if you know when you ovulate.

Can you compromise and, say, DTD on ov (O), O-1 & O-3? Or summat similar? Remember that study that concluded most conceptions take place on the day before ov. Of course, this dictates that we know exactly the date of ovulation which, from the evidence on this thread, is easier said than done Hmm

Hairstylisttoboris · 02/03/2015 07:34

Sorry to read that so many of you are having a hard time with this. Flowers
spinning hope you and your DH get time to talk.
I'm now Due at bfp but no sign off either at all. No symptoms. Bfn again. I think the b6 vitamins have maybe lengthened my LP. I dropped the dose from 100 whatsits to 50, as I read some scary side effects of taking high doses on the nhs website. But it still it has maybe made a difference.

nightandthelight · 02/03/2015 07:35

TMI alert! First day of fertile period so stuck finger up doodah and came out with shed loads of white CM. That's a good thing right? Have no idea which CM is the good kind. Sorry for all my questions, am so hopelessly ignorant. Had a condom burst when I was a student the day before AF was due. Was convinced I would get pregnant, so shocked the next day when AF arrived on time Blush

DizzyNorthernBird · 02/03/2015 07:54

mummy well done on organising stats list!

cariad I'm so jealous that you're getting a puppy! We got one a couple of years ago but she caused DP issues with his asthma. So she now lives with my parents. I grew up with dogs and always wanted one of my own, and miss her lots. Puppies are very hard work though, I would say if you're going to get one, defo do it now before bfp then it'll be trained up and maturing before baby arrives!

nomio I'm in Bucks! I'm also buying a house but we're staying in the area to suit our commutes. It's annoying because we looked at properties in the beds area/milton Keynes but the money we'd save on a cheaper property would be spent on commuting to work instead, grr.

sammy my temp has gone back up today too but not as much as I would have liked. I'm not convinced I'll get a bfp. Yours looks great though!

Feeling better today, my mood seems to have swung for the better thankfully!

DizzyNorthernBird · 02/03/2015 08:00

mrsginger what a lovely thing to do.

spinning those souns like the words of a tired man. My DP always says things he doesn't mean when he's tired or stressed arsehole. Hopefully he'll come round today after a good nights snoring.

night, what's the consistency?

coffeenut · 02/03/2015 08:03

It's evening here and I've hopped on in the hope of seeing some lovely BFP news! Smile

sammy - fingers crossed for tomorrow

spinning - I'm sure many of us have been there. It does become a chore.

mrsginger that is a lovely idea. Our friends actually had a DD on the EDD of my very first pregnancy (which ended at 12 weeks). I love seeing her now, but it does make me sad (7 yrs on!).

nightandthelight · 02/03/2015 08:08

It's fairly liquidy Dizzy but not watery. Has a pale white colour.

coffeenut · 02/03/2015 08:11

stretchy, night?

nightandthelight · 02/03/2015 08:13

No no elasticity to it coffee. Thanks for putting up with my questions ladies!

coffeenut · 02/03/2015 08:13

Also (and this is rather sad) ... I saw someone pregnant today and she was wearing THE BEST coated maternity skinny jeans. I added them to my mental list of first upduffed mat buys. Sigh.

ozmund · 02/03/2015 08:14

Morning everyone. Have my fingers crossed for juney, sammy and boris

AF arrived. My last cycle dropped from 29 to 25 days and was a weird one with really flat temperatures before and after ov. Would anyone mind having a look at my chart please?

coffeenut · 02/03/2015 08:14

It's def not semen? (sorry!!)

ozmund · 02/03/2015 08:16

uh that obv didnt work. anyone know how from a desktop?

Hairstylisttoboris · 02/03/2015 08:18

night as I understand it the nice fertile CM looks a bit like semen, it's stretchy and often clear. The next best type is really watery. I sometimes can only find the good stretchy CM by actually wiping my finger near my cervix....

nightandthelight · 02/03/2015 08:19

Haven't dtd since Saturday afternoon so I don't think so coffee. Feeling massively embarrassed now Blush. It matches the description Ovia gives of school glue by which I assume it means PVC but it is slightly less sticky. Will be so ashamed if it is sperm now Shock

DizzyNorthernBird · 02/03/2015 08:20

coffee those sound lush...I wonder where you can buy those?

night not everyone gets the stretchy stuff though...but I think it does have to be wet, or the wettest for you anyway. Sounds like it may be transitioning into fertile cm. I get a couple of days yellow lotiony cm which gradually becomes clear and stretchy. According to Dr Toni Weschler, you should watch your knicker lining, when cm is at its wettest you should see a circular stain where the moisture has absorbed into the lining when cm is its wettest.

I love cm watch, my favourite time of the month Grin Wink

juneybean · 02/03/2015 08:20

Sorry can't catch up properly as on silly phone at mothers.

Bfn again and I feel periody.

But temp was up from yesterday but I had left heating on all night.

nightandthelight · 02/03/2015 08:20

Ok thanks Hair, this was my first time looking so will try and get closer to my cervix next time :)
