Any temping experts fancy having a look at my chart?

[Vap0]

Hi

Thanks for taking the time to look. Would this suggest I ovulated? My opks say no as they only went about a third as dark as the control line. I definitely didn't miss it with the opks as I checked each time I went for a wee on the important dates. This is my 1st month charting and am struggling a little.

Chart is looking good Vap0. I'd agree that ov was Saturday. Good to see it smack in the middle of your cycle. Ov day is often too late to dtd as the sperm take a while to travel up to meet the egg so as long as Saturday is Ov day I think you've got as good a chance as you could have.

That's crap about the OPks. I used pound land ones and they never let me down. There are 5 in a pack so would spend £2 a month on them which wasn't too bad. Good luck in the 2ww!

Cover line will be added when you have 3 higher temperatures so fingers crossed Tuesday morning.

Thanks for the info mrspcr
May look at those pound land ones for next month.
I hear their hpts are good too.
How are you getting on? Have you found out the sex? Any recent scans?

Hi Vap Well I had one tiny bit of red blood when wiping yest but nothing else! My boobs are mega sore and pre-AF cramps have disappeared. Trying not to get my hopes up but on top of this my temp shot back up today so I'm beginning to completely over think everything! Took a 25miu test this morn and BFN Gonna wait til day AF is due now (Tues) and see what happens!

Hour chart is looking fab! Agree with PCR about ov and DTD You have done well so try not to stress and maybe DTD tonight just for luck! X

Fingers crossed for you Rosebud. I got BFN 3 days before AF and then feint BFP on day before with 10ml so hopefully it's just too soon and 25ml might be too strong.

Didn't use pound land tests Vap0 as had plenty of ICs but used one after BFP and it worked. Think they're 25ml whereas IC are 10.

Had our 20 week scan last Friday. We didn't want to find out the gender and really glad we didn't as this it might have been a bit of an anti-climax in the scan. All is well with LO so just a case of cooking it nicely!

Awww congrats PCR that's fab news!!!!

Thanks for your crossed fingers- I have some FRERs stashed away but I am determined not to tests again now until AF is due!

Any need rose?
Frustrated with my temp. Yesterday's was probably not correct as had been up to go to the loo a couple of hours before temp and had a drink and had had a skinful the night before and was taken 3 hrs after normal. It's appearing (if temping is correct) that we haven't ovulated. Blood test Friday to confirm and should get the results 4 days after. So sick of everything giving contradicting info.

*news -sorry typo

Great news about your scan pcr so pleased everything looks good.

Another high temp this morn for me: www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5790c0 Still no more AF cramps or any sign of it coming! Having a bit of nausea on and off this morning too but I think that is probably just anxiety!

I was a good girl and flushed my FMU away without testing- I'm going to see what tomorrows temp does before I do anything.

I wouldn't write this cycle off quite yet- that one temp doesn't necessarily mean anything. You had a peak opk AND EWCM- that has to mean something! Give it another day or 2 and see what FF does Keep the faith! x

Oo Rosebud that does look hopeful. I had sickness from 3.5 weeks on throwing up morning AF due so from 4 weeks so fingers crossed it's more than just anxiety sickness!! I feel for you and hate that waiting with 'good signs'. Makes it all the more cruel!

Vap0 sorry your chart is not looking so great. Remember though, the chart hasn't nothing to do with the BFP. Maybe dtd tonight if you can but hopefully it will be back up tomorrow and today is the anomaly. As Rosebud said, you have other good signs of Ov.

rose everything crossed for you! This sounds really promising! Very exciting! Ooh, I can't wait to hear about your temp tomorrow! Make sure you update us. I'll post another chart tomorrow after I have my temp....
pcr as bad as I'm sure it was having early sickness it must have been amazing having it and knowing what was happening! I do hope rose is in this camp too . Will leave it up to dp about dtd, I've really piled on the pressure this month and just can't face it again. This month has been one of the hardest yet with the dtd marathon. I think next month we won't dtd every day in the fertile window.

Unfortunately Vap0 with hindsight I think I may have had a chemical pregnancy the month before as had the sickness/wretching 4 days before AF and had IB with implantation dip followed by chart going triphasic with the rise after IB. I didn't test that month so will never know for sure but after getting the same symptoms before my BFP, which I ignored, I reckon it probably was. I'd just convinced myself it was the stress of the 2ww!

Looking forward to reports tomorrow. Good luck!

Hi ladies I'm following as I think I may start temping so good to get all your experiences x

Any news on your temp rose
Welcome wedding! Get yourself a thermometer and have a go. It's quite addictive when you start.
pcr could you have managed to get pregnant so quick again after a chemical pregnancy? It must be kind of annoying not knowing. Would you have preferred to have tested so you knew? A lot of people say you shouldn't test early as there are so many losses but I always test at 10dpo onwards. I knew I was pregnant for a week and it was the best week I've ever had. I was on top of the world. Even though it was heart breaking losing it I would have always wanted to know. I just wish I could have that feeling again.
Today's chart attached

Can't remember now, maybe it was the month before. A lot of women get pregnant straight after miscarrying with their pregnancy dated from the miscarriage.

Being pregnant now I'm not fussed either way but out of curiousity wouldn't mind knowing. In some ways maybe it's best not knowing as I can't remember the percentage but there's a high number which result in chemical and the only reason we're more aware is bc of early testif. Previously you'd have a chemical and just assume it was your period.

Hi ladies! My temp went down today but not as low as the coverline so took a FRER but BFN.
Still have absolutely no sign of AF and it's due today (14DPO) so god knows whats going on! If there's still nothing by the wkend I'll test again.

Vap I knew your temp would go back up again today. .... your still in the game!

So sorry to hear about your bfn rose
It was all sounding so positive
Any sign of af yet?

It's mad, I'm always looking forward to waking up in the mornings so i can see my temp on the chart.

Having a drink tonight after a very long and exhausting day so hope that doesn't mess with the temp

I had some cramping today and also creamy cm. Not sure if it's a sign of anything. The cramping was when I was stood in a bath scrubbing the tiles after 2 hours of cleaning so it could have just been over exertion. But I'm secretly hoping this is all the signs of a bfp....

Quick question about charts again
I missed the first few days of last month as thermometer hadn't arrived. Do those first 4 temps count? I'm thinking the cover line would be at about 97.7. What do you think?

Evening Vap! Hahaha! You are the same as me with your temping- get excited every day just to see what it says..... this is what our lives have come to!!! lol

Your chart is quite unusual isn't it?! I would say that your cover line would be at about 97.7 yes. I wonder if you should discard that random temp increase on CD4 and see if this kicks FF into action!

AF still hasn't arrived properly for me (15DPO) but it is definitely brewing! Temp is below the cover line now and pre-AF cramps are back with vengeance! It is only a matter of time.... I am sure of it! I am now the proud owner of 2 cycles of Femara (alternative to clomid) tablets though - BRING.IT.ON! Awaiting DH's 3rd sperm analysis results then all systems go with the IVF!

Probably yes. Are they made up temperature? Have you tried deleting them to see if nothing is better than guesses for the first 4 days?

I don't think one glass of wine or equivalent will make much difference to your temperature. Drink away! Hopefully it will be your last in a while! Also, remember the temperature is actually irrelevant; you're either pregnant or you're not

Sorry to hear about the BFN Rosebud.

Ah I started writing my post hours ago..... So hasn't refreshed to see yours Rosebud. The month I got my BFP, were it not for over purchasing Internet cheapies I wouldn't have done a test until probably 2 days after AF was due as FF was suggesting 29 day cycle instead of my usual 28. Day 28 and especially 29 felt exactly like I was getting my period. If I didn't have my BFP, I would have been convinced AF was just around the corner and I was out.

Hi

They are all real temps in the chart. So, I have disguarded the first 4 temps but still no control line appearing. I think I need another day above the control line we have assumed.

Sorry to hear af is on the way rose. I hope it doesn't arrive! I've heard of femara and hear it is a more gentle option to clomid but with the same results so great you have that. What day of your next cycle will you start taking that? Did you go private or did your NHS dr prescribe it? I take it you're in the consultants hands at a hospital or something similar? Did they say how long you should expect to wait for IVF? I'm in a tough spot on what to tell my hospital dr. I don't think I'm ovulating so will have to decide whether to tell him if I am or not - blood test will confirm. They said our next (and only) step is IVF but that is a minimum of a 3 month wait from date of referral which is the end of Jan (for referral). I'm expecting a 6-9 month wait before anything happens after the 1st referral. So a minimum of 9-12 months wait starting in January. I'm thinking I just tell them the truth as I'm expecting to have to go private anyway as the NHS is really letting us down.

pcr like your selective blanking out of words. Let's hope this weird temp cycle means a bfp is on its way......

Cover line, hurrah!

AF arrived yesterday evening so I'm CD2 now. Start the Femara tomorrow from CD3-7 and will then have a follicle tracking scan like I did on clomid.

I have been prescribed everything so far on the NHS through my fertility clinic consultant. She has been amazing and rushed things through for us because she knows how severe my PCOS is and doesn't want me to wait. However we aren't entitled to IVF on the NHS because my DH has two DD's from a previous relationship. So that's why we have chosen to go abroad- quicker and cheaper than the UK with better success rates! There is no wait at Reprofit so as soon as my DH's third sperm analysis result comes through- we are ready to go!

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G that's you have had ov confirmed now- I thought you would eventually, It was just usual to have such temps at the start of your chart.
