Mum03 - sorry about temp drop
Lottie seems to be the voice of reason - after reading my new TCOYF book last night I did see some examples of charts where the temp drop does not occur till a few days after AF has arrived.

ammylovesolivia - I know how you feel about being excited abut the temp rise - I was like that this month as it is my first month of temping too! I have never been so pleased to know that OV and fertile phase was over!!
Also in the TCOYF book it says some women are slower to respond to the progesterone rise that occurs after ov - for most the rise happens within 2 days of ov but for a few it can take longer. However - like lottie says it could be that you ov later than you thought. Of course your ov day can vary month to month too. I am boringly regular - before temping I thought I ov'd on CD12 as that was my first peak from the OPK but now seeing my temp rise happened on CD15 - now I think I actually OV more like CD13.

mum03 · 17/02/2007 10:16

Whoops pressed post before I had finished

Angel - was going to say I know that feeling of writing a bit post only to loose the whole lot!!!! good job I posted rather than lost that last one heheheh!

Lottie I was not thinking you were negative, just the wise voice that I needed to hear, I really don't think I am pg, I am sure that all the sign's and symptoms are purely coincidental. It is too easy to talk myself into thinking that I am pg, and not easy to realise that it was just a light af and get on with focussing ahead. I need people to keep my feet on the ground, you helped - honestly.

Honey - post temps as long as you feel comfortable, and don't go rushing off leaving us too soon, are you going to join the october antenatal thread now? Perhaps you have already. Also do you know your edd?

Ready - did you get that commission for brokering the Rah/MrsMc deal!??? Haven't heard much from you recently, have you gone quiet on us, or is it just that everyone else are turning into right little chatterboxes??? Did you ever find out how we post details to just mates on this site?

Iwill - How are you doing>? are you due to ov soon?

everytime I go to hit post, someone else has posted.... thanks for the help seaside, I am certain now that the temp rise yesterday was just a blip, and that all is as it should be, I am now pleased that I did not test this morning.
Hope everyone has a good saturday...

greedyforbabies · 17/02/2007 10:26

mum03............you are killing me! fancy dropping the pot of wee! how daft are you! my temp was only 36.7 this morning and i am pg! is it still above the cover line?
as fettle will tell you 18 high temps in a row means you are officially pg! how many have you had now???!!

honeyapple - the zoo was fab thanks! it was colchester zoo. my kids loved it and my dh loved watching the mandrils shagging! ( i didn't know monkey porn was his thing, but obviously it is!!!!)

hello everyone else! have a great saturday!

mum03 · 17/02/2007 10:36

Greedy - don't get me thinking that way, I have had 16 high temps... but I am sure that tomorrow I will go diving down below coverline. I am just hoping that because af finished early that I will o early, as each time I go pg was when I o'd early, so I am thinking positive for this next cycle. I would have loved to join you on the october thread but it was you that said I should wait to get pg in march wasn't it!!!!!

How do I CAT MrsMcJnr? Thanks

seaside72 · 17/02/2007 10:53

rahrah - i have never doen it but you click on the link at the very top of the page in the blue links strip - farthest right - contact a mumsnetter.

Think you have to register/pay the £5 fee to do it

rahrah1 · 17/02/2007 10:59

Thanks seaside72

rahrah1 · 17/02/2007 11:00

MrsMcJnr...MrsMcJnr....MrsMcJnr...MrsMcJnr

Can you just send a mail to my email address and then I will send you my address and you yours for the payment. Email address = [email protected] - Thanks

rahrah1 · 17/02/2007 11:42

Do you think I should change my FF to show the faint lines on my OPK as positives and then it will show I've ovulated as FF is showing I have not ovulated even though my temps have increased?

greedyforbabies · 17/02/2007 11:47

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo! we could ALL start emailing you now rahrah!

i would be careful giving out your email address on here............there is a weirdo hanging around this thread trying to sell dodgy viagra!!!!!!

mum03 - are you really going to wait till the morning? actually, i should be more realistic cos last month i had 16 high temps and the software (ff) was telling me i could be pg and then af arrived so i shouldnt get your hopes up ..........sorry!

greedyforbabies · 17/02/2007 11:48

is your chart on the chart spotters thread for us all to look at rahrah?

greedyforbabies - lol about the email address and Viagra... but ummm might be fun..
How do I post my chart on there then?

londonlottie - yep I brought 50 for £11 off ebay... so ultra cheap! The previous month I had no idea when I would be ovulating and brought 5 for £20 and ran out before I did.. typical... so though if I brought loads I could test twice a day.

Afternoon ladies! I am still waiting for the positive on my opk, the line was darker yesterday, but still not close to the control, so we shall see what this afternoon brings. I take it from the lack of responses to my comment about being a cold-hearted bitch that you all do think that of me. So I am going to do what I can to change that!!

Minxi, fingers crossed cycle bud, it would be great to graduate together I suspect you would test earlier than I would though?

Angelfire, Hope all is well?

Ammy, I don't think that temping and OPKs can delay ovulation. However, if you are stressing yourself out about it all, that can affect ovulation. I do think that if you are having EWCM, then you should start to see a rise soon. Some women don't have a temp hike either, so don't expect it to shoot right up, some temps just rise more gradually. until you have a completed chart to peruse, then please don't worry about it.

Lottie, finger crossed for you, your warmer temp is a good sign!!

Mum03, That ClearBlueFairy made you spill all your wee Like I said, on this occasion, I would say it is ok to test, just to take away any uncertainty. Whatever happens, we are all here for you. I am still waiting for my brokers commission!! I've been so busy these last couple of days, which has been good for not thinking about ttc!! Oh, and apparently you can only make your photos available to mumsnet mates only, not your profile. Which is a shame. I knew I hadn't dreamt the facility up completely

Honeyapple, if you try to leave, there may be some kind of hostage situation

Rahrah, I'd say go for it with the faint positives, just to see what the chart looks like when you do. Or even, take that option out as if you weren't using them, and see what happens on temps alone?? Let us know.

Seaside72, how's it all going?? feeling positive still?? fingers crossed!!!

Greedy, I love the zoo.. Chester zoo is my fave, went there about a month ago (I know, sad, we have no children, and no excuse to go!) and there was a teeny baby elephant (I say teeny, he was still bigger than a great dane!!) SOOOO cute though.

Weepootlegflump, another high temp?? Hopre you are feeling calmer. Everything ok??

Iwillbepgbydec07, you are quiet?? Is all ok??

Honeyapple - 36.7 cd29 14DPO BFP! (6th cycle ttc)

Hi everyone, I'm afraid I'm not able to get on much as I've got MIL staying for a week ! Which is partly why I haven't been too happy but since AF came this morning I realised it was probably a bit of pmt as well. Don't quite understand why I haven't had a temp drop though?

Don't really know what's going on with my cycle atm - it seems to be getting shorter every month. Once MIL goes home and things get back to normal I'm going to look at starting a chart, so I'll pick your brains later.

Hope everyone else is OK. Will catch up properly later.

OOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!

Just noticed honeyapple's BFP!! CONGRATULATIONS

This is brilliant thread - it gives me such a lift to see the BFPs. Keep them coming, hopefully you'll be next Rahrah.

mum03 · 17/02/2007 13:06

Weepootle - sorry to hear that aunt flo arrived with your mother-in-law! But can you be my cycle buddy this month? . I was feeling all lonely on cd1 with honey going pg on us all!!!! My temp didn't go down immediately either, but as we were discussing earlier, it can take a while. Still here's hoping our next cycle is the last one for a while

Ready - Whoops missed that one! so here we go - no ready you are not a cold-hearted b-, is that clear enough or do you want me to shout it louder? Or perhaps we should all say we love you ready !!!!

Ready · 17/02/2007 13:24

That's better Thank you for indulging me mum03!

Not sure which is worse period pain or MIL?? Actually... period pain goes away quickly with paracetomol... so much easier to tolerate I feel for you weepootleflump ((hugs))

Rahrah, FF puts your ov at cd16, so I was only 1/2 days out are you happy with the earlier ov date??

What a glorious day it is!! Off out for a chinese tonight, treat night.

Ready · 17/02/2007 13:26

Oh and I just wanted to tease Seaside (in the nicest sense!) for having a textbook cycle... OV on CD14 - get you!! Fingers crossed for a BFP at the end of it!! Well, a week after

seaside72 · 17/02/2007 13:27

Weepootleflump - sorry about AF - but bring on another month of charting! Was saying to mum03 earlier - I have been studying my TCOYF book for the past 24 hours and it seems that some peoples temps don't drop immediately on CD1 but can drop more gradually - staying higher than coverline for quite a few days

Oh Ready - we don't think you are a cold hearted bitch at all!!! - totally the opposite always kind and helpful with good solid advice - much appreciated!

I have just added my Fertility Friend chart to the chart spotters thread. Have a good oggle!!
Rahrah - well done on posting your chart too

I am feeling OK about TTC - trying to occupy myself with positive action - off to see GP (again) on Monday - 12 months TTC and 16 months after coming off pill - hopefully he will start some tests - cunningly I have made the app for CD21 so am going to demand blood test to confirm I have ovd for sure. If he says no - I may stage a sit in!!
Then monday afternoon I am off for cranio-sacral therapy (which has always helped me in the past with a multitude of issues from bad back to IBS)
I am also ten days into my Natural health docs new tablet regime - 12 massive horse pills a day (bleurghhh)

Can you tell I am getting impatient now - I think it might be cos my best friend just told me she has started TTC this month and I just know she will be calling soon with a BFP - which will be so amazing but I will be not to be preg with her and I know she will be reluctant to tell me as she knows we have been TCC for a while.

Anyway- still trying to be + temp is up - (lottie you are hot too - yay!) but not sure if that may be cos I can feel a horrid cold arriving - bit snuffly, throat tightening up and feeling nauseous - why do I only get sick in the 2ww when I don't dare take anything???- then AF arrives and I am so as could have popped all the pills and felt better way sooner!

Ho hum- sorry for the essay!!
