Congratulations lullaby! I'm in my first TWW so eagerly looking for good news from others on this thread.

User11220 · 14/09/2016 07:48

Hope the good news is sinking in lullaby Smile
I wonder would anybody who temps care to offer an opinion on my chart this month. I know it's not over yet but it looks quite erratic to me but it's my first month temping so pretty new to it. I felt like inoculated yesterday - had pain on one side and a general sense that something was going on iykwim! Any views or advice appreciated. Flowers

I felt like I ovulated yesterday, not inoculated LOL

Pumkinpie1 · 14/09/2016 07:58

Congratulations lullaby , so happy for you
Hope you did user, sorry I'm no good with charts.

lullaby23 · 14/09/2016 09:25

Thanks everyone, still in shock really. This cycle seemed unlikely - DS feeding more than usual including at night, no tracking or temping, long-haul travel and horrible jet lag. Same thing happened with DS so clearly laidback non-scheduled holiday shagging is the only way I can manage it!
Hope the first few weeks fly by so I can take my mind off the worrying.

Good luck abraham anyone else in the TWW?

user I agree the temps look a bit too jaggedy to give a definitive answer. Have you been taking them at roughly the same time after enough sleep etc? If you ov'd yesterday then you would expect a reasonable rise today and the crosshairs would appear after 3 days of high temps I think.

lullaby23 · 14/09/2016 09:27

Also silly question but do you wait until the thermometer beeps to record? And as soon as you're awake?

User11220 · 14/09/2016 10:07

Thanks for taking the time to reply lullaby, especially when you are no doubt distracted processing your great news!
Yes I take temp at much the same time each day and wait until it beeps. Sleep is a bit erratic though as I'm up and down a bit to Lo. I just hope that the crazy temp doesn't mean that I'm not actually ovulating :-( the opks have been giving me flashing and solid smileys though... Oh confusion. Maybe I need to do like you lullaby and go on holiday and forget about tracking!!

lullaby23 · 14/09/2016 10:20

All I can say is it worked for me and I tempted fate buying 2 sodding packs of CBFM sticks, a bumper set of IC OPKs and HPTs, a batch of FRERs/CBDs and 4 months worth of pre natal vits...

Abrahamkin · 14/09/2016 11:30

Ah yes! Anyone else in the TWW? Would be good to have others waiting with me, as no one else knows we are TTC, and I think my DH will soon get bored of hearing me talk about it!

NappingRabbit · 14/09/2016 12:19

Congratulations lullaby, wonderful news!

I'm waiting to ovulate, I imagine it will be sometime in the next week, so I'm a bit behind you on the TWW Abrahamkin.

dillydollydarling · 14/09/2016 15:44

Implant is out so now I'm officially ttc! Grin

oatybiscuits · 14/09/2016 17:53

Abrahamkin · 14/09/2016 19:12

Good luck dillydolly!

Pumkinpie1 · 14/09/2016 22:35

I'm on the 2 wait Abraham, in on cycle day 22 got my fingers crossed for both of us! No one knows we TTC either it's hard not taking bout it!
Go for it dilly !

Xalonera · 15/09/2016 00:01

Aries here but I've NC'd.
My first PP AF has finally arrived! Grin and we can start to ttc properly.

Congratulations lullaby!

User11220 · 15/09/2016 06:08

Morning. Good luck to those in tww! Well I think I've detected a temp shift in my very erratic chart! Assuming the temp stays high over next few days does this indicate that I ovulated yesterday (cd22) or could I still have ovulated the day before that (cd21) which is when I really felt physically that I was ovulating?

User11220 · 15/09/2016 06:09

Sorry I forgot to include the chart!

wave at pumpkinpie.

I have not tracked anything except dates. This worked for DC1, so hoping it works for DC2! If not I will have a lot to learn I can see.

lullaby23 · 16/09/2016 06:57

To the pregnant ladies I have attempted to revive the BF grads thread in pregnancy if anyone fancies chatting over there? Will still be lurking here and cheering you guys on though.

Pumkinpie1 · 16/09/2016 17:07

What cycle day are you Abraham ?
We're on holiday from tomorrow my day 28 is Wednesday I'm hoping to try n forget n for AF to not arrive with plan to test Saturday morning

Abrahamkin · 16/09/2016 18:59

I'm on cycle day 21. So around 10 days to go for me.

Writerwannabe83 · 19/09/2016 08:58

Congratulations lullaby - there's nothing lovelier than looking st photos with second lines Flowers

Yet again I got my period on my last cycle so feeling disheartened yet again. I'm on cycle 6 now of TTC whilst BF and starting to think it isn't ever going to happen even though this thread demonstrates otherwise.

I had my positive OPK this morning so I'm heading into the TWW but I just can't feel excited about it anymore.

I don't want to wean DS off the breast but if I don't conceive this month then I think I'm going to have to Sad

boatrace30 · 20/09/2016 22:23

aries really pleased AF came. It's a good feeling isn't it? Mine was due today and hasn't come. But I have never ever been regular due to pcos so I wasn't expecting it really, but do have cramps. Anyway will poas tomorrow but hopes not high. I have my been great at temp charting but fertility friend tells me I haven't ovulated. Hope everyone else is doing ok and sorry to those of you who've had bad luck.
