Ladies I just want to cry! I'm 10dpo & my temps have been as high as 37 bloody degrees in the past few days! I've never had temperatures like that before so thought it might be a sign but now it's hurtling back towards the coverline

Shary mine spiked high and were a bit wobbly but stayed about 36. Got everything crossed for you x

Thanks doobedoo for the link and info. Makes me feel really frustrated about GPs though! If that's NICE's guidance then why on earth to GPs say anything under 5 is fine?? I hope my surgeon will be more helpful when I see her on Wednesday...

Fingers crossed for you SharyBobbins :)

Because it's fine for the generally population but GPs aren't usually that clued up on fertility matters. I had to tell them what the problem was. The fertility expert then agreed with me!

Shary any news?

I've been looking up thyroid on google. Can I ask you ladies who temp what your coverline temp usually is? Mine is usually around 36.06C

My bbt temps before ovulation are usually around 35.9C ish and I'm wondering if that's too low.

I'm due to ovulate tomorrow but haven't had any EWCF so wondering if that could be linked to low temps and now wondering if low temps could be linked to low progesterone.

Have second transvaginal ultrasound in two weeks time. AF due Boxing Day and if she arrives then we'll be on to month 13TTC :(

Hi Sunshine

My coverline is usually around 36.45 with my temps before ovulation being anything from 36.1 to 36.3, they haven't really been any lower than this though I'm not sure what they should be. Have you had your thyroid and progesterone levels checked?

How long is your luteal phase now? My AF is due on xmas day though I'm not due to ovulate until next monday. Fx this will be your month, are you going to test early? x

Hi ladies, my coverline this cycle is 36.4, it was 36.3 last cycle. I'm plunging towards AF as you can see from my chart (if it will attach). Feeling pretty low and frustrated. My temps got so high I this cycle and I ovulated early for me- I really thought I was in with a chance How are you all?

Shary, its the worst feeling isn't it to think another month without that BFP, but you aren't definitely out yet until AF arrives, whens it due?

Mrsunsure, has your bleeding stopped now? Did you speak to the dr? x

Thanks ladies. Going to ask my GP next time about thyroid and progesterone. Might test a couple of days early as its Christmas but even if it's a Bfn i will still have hope till AF shows. I'm the one driving over Christmas though so that my excuse for not drinking :)

Oh and LP has been 12 days for past two cycles up from original 9 days.

Shary fx for you. Has your LP lenghtend at all?

Mrs that's a long time to bleed. Hope you're ok. Make sure you enjoy a cheeky drink this Christmas x

My LP has been 12/13 days the past three cycles which is something to about. I have so much PMT right now its scary! AF due tomorrow or Thursday

Glad the bleeding has stopped Mrs. That's a very long holiday! Enjoy!! X

Mrs, how exciting, I'm sure a lovely long rest is exactly what you need, hopefully you will be able to relax and come back with some happy news to tell us!! I will be going away just as you get back but only a couple of weeks for me, I keep getting doubts about it thinking 'but what if I'm pregnant' so having to push these thoughts out of my head. Am trying to be more relaxed this cycle anyway what with AF being due on xmas day I don't want to ruin it by being miserable if it does come, and we aren't starting to DTD until the weekend as I've got my smear Friday but hopefully should still have chance. X

My coverline is usually between 35 and 36. I've started temping again today from cd9 and will hopefully be consistent with it this cycle as I keep forgetting. Started taking vit c so will see if that makes a difference to my temps.

Have a nice and relaxing holiday mrs. It's just what you need with everything you've been through and fx for your bfp.

I hope AF stays away shary.

Started ttc in January Mrs so coming up to the one year mark I have major AF cramps going on here but no bleed so far, think it'll happen over night or maybe tomorrow. On a positive it means I can book my internal scan which I guess is another step forward

Ladies ive not disappeared just took a bit of a break to try and chill a little. 9 weeks Sunday by LMP but I know I'm more 8.

Shary hoping that AF stays away.

Jealous of the hols you've booked!

Hoping for some xmas miracles for you ladies! ️Xx

So I had my smear and chlamydia testing today, the nurse said assuming I'm clear of chlamydia I'll need to come in and get a certificate to take with me for when I see the fertility specialist, but that it only lasts 3 months so if my appt is after that I will need to get it redone. Was quite surprised!!

Still rooting for all of you too!

Mascara how are you feeling? That was my worst time for sickness.

I'm officially in the 2nd trimester now! And in maternity jeans!

Just waves of nausea Mrs. Felt sick all night and this morning, somehow stopped myself from throwing up. Was just about to go to my booking in appointment and it was cancelled until tomorrow. Got my 9ish week private scan Thursday, I'll start believing it if all is ok then!

How are you feeling now?
