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.

Here's a pick (not that anyone wants to look at sticks with my pee on!! Haha)

You're joking, I love looking at other peoples pee sticks and charts. Not wanting to get your hopes up but the positive opk's could be because you are pregnant. Is the plastic cased picture a hpt or opk? If it's a hpt like I think it is then I think tentative congratulations are in order. Again, not wanting to get your hopes up but do have everything crossed for you. Your temps are certainly up for the 2nd half of your cycle and if ff is correct and you did ovulate on cd14 then these are all good signs. Go and get yourself a frer. If that cheapie showed such a line visible on a photo then I would say that a frer will show up much clearer. My frer's don't show anything I can photograph which is making me think maybe it's nothing, or maybe it's just left over from last time. I was sure I had a negative test starts rife lint through sock drawer in the hope I kept the old tests
Only other symptoms here apart from mad dreams is bloating it that probably has more todo with massive amounts of food consumed the last few days - she says an hour before going out for yet another roast lunch
Well, it's no booze for me until I know for sure. I've decided if my new frer's don't arrive before nye which is set to be a booze filled night ill go and buy some in boots to do another check, that will be 3w 5d and should definitely show a proper positive by then. If not I'll be drinking. It's kind of exciting but also not exciting because I can't shake the feeling of "how long will this one last"
Oh yes I did use my last frer this morning. Fmu did look more dilute than yesterday's and did show a fainter line that yesterday's. I can see it in bright sunlight and it definitely has some colour to it but just isn't as strong as yesterday's. It's just wait and see time. Argh! I suppose it's good not drinking for a few days, we have drank so much for the last few weeks.

Let me know if you get a frer. Excited to hear for news. Fingers crossed for both of us.

My chart...

Eak, vapo looks like we are in the same boat. I'm 12dpo today if FF is right. The case is a hpt, it's a definite line in RL, fainter on the photo. But I'm trying not to focus on it too much cos it came up out of the time frame. But it is a 20iu so not that sensitive. I did one in day time yesterday that was definitely negative but should have waited for FMU really. Il get a FRER today but I'm going to wait til FMU tomorrow. Haven't told DH about this mornings test cos I don't wanna tell him til I'm sure. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Iv got pcos bloods booked in for next week due to really irregular cycles, hoping I don't need them! its so crazy isn't it, when I saw the negative test I was really disappointed, but when I saw the maybe positive one my first thought was "oh crap are we ready for this!!" Haha.

Sorry that you have had sad experienced in the past and that eliminates your excitement when you get a bfp. How many miscarriages have you had if you don't mind me asking. Have you have any investigations? I will always be cautious if/when I get a bfp.. As a midwife I know how often things go wrong, it is just such a complicated process! But I also know it work right enough of the time to keep me very very busy and in a job keeping my fingers crossed for you. Thank you for your support! I haven't told anyone in RL that we are trying! X

Although I said I wouldn't obsess I'm definitely obsessing! Just dug this out of the drawer... It's def a line isn't it! Give me a slap, it was WAY out of the time frame!!

Looking forward to seeing a pic of your test tomorrow morning bright and early then.

I've had 2mc, one early Dec and one Aug bank holiday weekend. It's crap and the dr's are shit and will do nothing to help.

As we are so long into the process (28 months so far) we are having infertility appointments but the dr is an arsehole and won't do anything to help, haven't been since I've had a pregnancy but have already been told they will not give me any progesterone to help me along under any circumstances because it is too expensive and also not proven (even though you read in mn of people being prescribed it every day). We have another appointment on Jan 18th I think. I'm expecting nothing from it as he is such an arse and has done nothing other than a Hycosy to help. And a Hycosy doesn't even help, it just says the tubes are clear. I'm almost wishing to get pregnant again so mc can hurry up so they will, do some investigations as they won't check anything until you've had 3. It's such a shit position to be in, dp said last night that even if we are pregnant again he won't be wanting to talk about it and certainly won't be getting excited until after 12 weeks because he is expecting another mc. It's so crap.

The only positive is that if it is a positive then hopefully 3rd time lucky may apply or if it does end badly then hopefully it will be early on and we can get some medical help.

Aw I'm sorry to hear about the two miscarriages. In my experience there are "rules" and guidelines in medical care, and the gps tend not to deviate much from these. (It happens to midwives too, so sometimes we can't do things, even if emotionally we want to ie book people reassurance scans if there is no clinical indication) They tend to be set out on a much higher level ie nice guidelines are government level and based on research but also on cost effectiveness. Ie statistically most people will get pregnant within a year, therefore they are told not to "waste money" testing until after a year. I know this is completely unhelpful and upsetting for the person going through it!! The best thing you can do is go armed with research and guidelines... So if and when you do get pregnant again check the national guidlines for recurrant miscarriage, progesterone etc and I would ask for a 2nd opinion. It's one thing the Dr following guidlines but they should be caring on an individual basis and taking particular scenarios into account. Hopefully this is your sticky BFP and you won't need to worry about any of that in the future!! Hugs xxx

Any charting experts make sense of my chart? I'm getting bfns but my temps are still high. Af is due tomorrow. With the dip today does it look like I'm out? It's my first time charting and using OPKs so I don't really know what's what. Thanks for any advice!

Snow dog I would say it looks really positive. Day 5 looks like possible implantation dip, and day 12 + 13 post OV are higher than other temps, which looks triphasic (Google triphasic bbt charts or pregnant bbt charts). Having said that the research I read conducted by FF showed that both those signs can happen in pregnant and non pregnant charts! Frustrating I know. What tests are you using? How sensitive are they? X

Ps I think fertility friend is easier to interpret. It's free, maybe try down loading it and PPP your temps into that and see what it says x

Sorry Pop not PPP!!

Vapo they didn't have any FRERs so had to get a tesco one. 100% negative! And opk a bit lighter this morning so I'm assuming it was OV or random LH surge, will have to wait and see what temps do. Will teach me not to look at old tests! Xx

sorry for the bfn sunny it seems strange that such a strong line could be an evap. Hopefully it was ovulation, although that will be a super long cycle will it? I think FRER are only sold in boots, I buy mine on Amazon as they are about half the price but you need to make sure you have better will power than me to save one for 10dpo. I know I get positives no matter what on 10dpo so should always keep one but have now run out. Going to pop to boots a little later on and buy some whilst I wait for my next Amazon delivery to arrive. I have saved my fmu in the bathroom (really strong fmu today, I ensured I didn't drink much last night so today's test will be the decider for me I think). If it's a positive then it should be clearly visible by now as should be 9dpo I think. I know my chart is a bit messed up at the important part of the month but I am guessing ovulation day was the very high temp cd18 (even though I was in a boiling hotel room where you couldn't open the windows) and I think implantation was the next low temp cd19 (even though I was in a really cold hotel room). I had an implantation dip with my last bfp so I'm assuming probably wrongly. The fact that my temps are higher now than they were at the beginning half of the month suggest ovulation so I'm just kind of crossing my fingers.

Welcome snow, as sunny says put your temps into ff and it will draw the lines for you, it's much easier to read. Looking forward to seeing your ff chart, much easier to read.

I just discuarded the super high temp hoping it may drawer me lines but still nothing. So annoying I forgot my thermometer!

Argh!
Dp just tipped over my pot of wee. I can't believe it, I needed that today more than ever! I'm so upset. I wonder if I can squeeze any more out. I had dehydrated myself so much for that pot of wee. What a nob head.

Noooooo vapo! Can't believe he knocked your wee over! What a doofus! Maybe try holding wee in for four +hours, or I know it's annoying but maybe it's a sign to wait until tomorrow, it will give you a better line and I keep reminding myself ... It won't actually change the outcome, I'm either pregnant of not!

Yeah my temps are still up, so not sure what FF will do with that. But think it was OV, my cycles have been long since coming off pill, this will still actually make this cycle shorter than the last! Opks fading. Not cross cos we dtd on day of peak opk and not again, just cos we've been busy and with the "Evap" I didn't think it was as important! Grrrr. Xx

I started spotting a little late last night and today af is due and my temp went down again so I might be out this cycle... I'll definitely sign up with fertility friend though, it seems like that is the gold standard app wise to figuring all this out! Thanks 😊

Here's my fertility friend chart. I think I transcribed everything over ok. There's been no more spotting but I definitely feel af on her way.

Snow dog, I still think your chart looks really positive! Your temp hasn't dipped below cover line, I would say it is still quite high! Especially if the spotting hasn't turned into AF! Xx

I didn't test this morning but if the witch stays away I'll test again tomorrow. Definitely feel like cr*p so I'm ill either way 😝 It's just annoying I can't get a bfp despite a good chart and some promising symptoms.

Hi
snow, your chart is loads easier to read on ff. If you're spotting it probably is af on her way of that is normal for you. However until your temp drops yours still in with a chance. Stay with us, I like looking at other peoples charts .

So, I've done a test with fmu just now and see picture attached. There is definitely a line. So, I'm pregnant again! 3rd time lucky perhaps???

Yay vapo!! Congratulations! So pleased for you. Fingers crossed this really is third time lucky! Xx

Congrats Vapo! 💐😄 great news!!!

Morning
Any news?
Any new charts?

Hi vapo. Did you test again today? How's the line looking?

My temp went up again today. Another BFN! Would have been 14 dpo going by FF original estimation (until I had positive opk and it took my cross hairs away!). My luteal phase was only 10 days last month so if I had OVd then I would have had a Bfp or period by now. lots of pelvic pain. Think I probably OVd 3 days ago but FF hasn't confirmed it yet. If I haven't OVd I'd be a bit worried by this pelvic pain, it's been really sharp and taking my breath away a bit. :(
