Brilliant news Mrs, so relieved for you! Go get your feet up!

Such good news Mrs! I agree with mascara. Put those feet up!

Still feeling positive. Although I ovulated a week late last month I think it works out perfect as FF now predicts the start of my fertile period to start the day before DH arrives home! Meaning we have a chance this month after all. I really do believe everything happens for a reason :)

Does anyone have any experience of charting BBT with a cold? This morning and yesterday I've had super high temps (today is CD8) and woke up this morning in a pool of my own sweat (sexy). Do I discard those temps on FF? They're higher than my normal post O temps!

Amazing news Mrs! Really pleased for you.

Sunshine, you can note on them that you were ill, and they make them white circles on your chart. They may take them into account somehow?

I've wondered this before too Sunshine when I've had a cold. It would make sense that they are slightly out, I probably would discard Confused

That's great about your timings, I can't believe Im with a chance too now my peak is today! Fingers crossed for us both x

How high were they sunshine15?

Amazing news Mrs! Huge congratulations xxxx

SharyBobbins · 30/10/2015 15:27

My GP just phoned me. I definitely ovulated (progesterone 51) but the results indicate it's likely I have PCOS Sad

Ah Shary, what's the next course of action then? Still clomid? X

Sunshinegirl2015 · 30/10/2015 16:23

Doesn't sound high but to me they are high - 36.62C today. My post ovulation temps are usually around 36.2. Normally at this stage I'm in the 35C range.

I've marked illness on the 'specifics' part but it's not done the white circle thing.

Shary if it is PCOS then they'll be able to treat it or give you something to help. I know a couple of my friends have had it and conceived so don't give up hope!

Sunshinegirl2015 · 30/10/2015 16:29

The white circle is from when I woke up half hour before my alarm

Ah great news Mrsunsure x

SharyBobbins · 30/10/2015 18:01

Thanks ladies, the GP was referring me regardless but said he will be attaching these results. Hopefully it'll speed up the process. Just told OH who was fab bless him. He's going to see his GP about a SA just in case that not being done slows down the process, whatever the process may be!
Wow Sunshine that's a big jump!

In one way at least you can start to move forward and find a solution if they do diagnose you Shary.x

I put my legs in the air Blush not worked yet but can't help!

Sunshinegirl2015 · 30/10/2015 21:52

Can't hurt not can't help

SharyBobbins · 30/10/2015 22:29

I'd read somewhere that staying in the same position for 10 mins after ejaculation helps too. Although I guess this very much depends on what sex position you opt for! I also read some positions are better for conception than others but that was in the Daily Mail so that might be rubbish!!

9dpo today, really hope AF stays away for a few more days to give me a good LP Blush

mascaraisamust · 30/10/2015 22:32

Fingers crossed Shary, how long is you LP usually now? Or does it vary?

Af usually appears on cd29 for me and its cd21 tomorrow so it's a very short 'tww' for me (I'll know in 8 days)!

My last cycle was 12 but the one before that was 9 Hmm
FX for 12 again, or higher! or a BFP...

Well you've beaten 9 Smile, let's make it to 12! Then who knows...!

OP posts:
Sunshinegirl2015 · 31/10/2015 09:43

Fx for 12 Shary!

Still have a temperature but bbt dropped from yesterday's 36.62 to 35.98C this morning! Lots of people were ill the month they conceived so hoping this could be the month. Anything I read I believe eh?

Taking one baby aspirin this month too for the first time in the hope that might help.

Heard lots of good things about baby aspirin, hope it works! I think unless your really run down I doubt it will make much difference in you getting your bfp.

DH and I were both ill around my fertile time, didn't actually DTD much at all. Only takes one!

Had our scan today. All looking good! Measured as 7+1 which is more what I expected than the 8+2 by LMP. Booking in with midwife next but that's not until Nov 10th.
