seaside you've confused me (not difficult!) If your temp rise was on Tuesday, why do you think you ov on Sunday?

This is my first month of temps so I'm a novice, but I just thought that the day before the temp rise was always the day you ov?

Please ready don't give up on helping me not to test yet. I only tested this morning because I am feeling big, fat and negative and decided that I would have a test that matched. So in the morning blur having been woken up early by ds, I tested. I know I should have listened to you, I am strangely not really fussed by the result, it means nothing. Please don't loose faith in me now. Having said that I hope that all you are focussing on today, is having a good day with dh.

Honey - well done on not testing, you are doing great.

I was trying to work out why, when I am normally a very patient person why, I test before af is due. I can wait no problem with Christmas presents under the tree, no desire to open them early, I can savour the joy of waiting to eat that box of chocolates. But come testing, I fail to be patient. I think I have worked out why, it is because if I know something is coming my way, I can wait for it easily, my problem is when I don't know if something is going to come to me. In this self analysis, I have worked out what the problem is, but what is the solution???

Sorry for that little waffle there. Hope you are all enjoying valentines day, and that your dp/dh's all bought you huge bunches of roses and massive boxes of choc's.!

have you double double triple checked your test mum03? i did a test on 11dpo and thought it was bfn, but then when i got my bfp on 14dpo i pulled the old test back out of the bin and there was the faintest tiniest line that i had somehow managed to miss!

hope you are all having a better vlentines day than me! ..i have been having more red bleeding again...but i realise how boring that is getting and i did say i wasn't going to think about it, so i wont mention it again! (and dont any of you either)
SORRY!

honeyapple - well done for resisting, but i think once you have an urge it is very hard to resist...........dont get left on your own today or you might be tempted again!

rahrah! 6dpo! well done girl! and some well timed BDing!

ready! - how many times will you be doing it tody then? 5? 6? dont let me down girl!!!

lottie - 2 ww huh? it will fly by!!! (maybe!)

my dh booked me a pedicure for valentines!!!??? is that romantic?.........or is he trying to tell me my feet are manky!!?

rahrah1 · 14/02/2007 14:56

Hi Greedy... If you want to talk about it and get support from us, fine by me.

I know so well what it feels like and its so un-nerving. I wish so much i had people to talk to it about. It was a horrible/worrying experience.

I had so many scans and they generally do not tell you much in terms of where the bleed is coming from, unless its a massive bleed. But the scans comfort you in the fact you can see your baby is still there and growing. When is your next scan? All I'm trying to say is don't expect too much from the scan. I would have bleeding and then on the scan nothing, then afterwards I would have a massive bleed and then they could see something. They diagnosed me with a concealed bleed behind the placenta, but this was at 22 weeks, my first bleed was at 11 weeks!. But some bleeds can be caused by harmless things like Cervical Erosion.
If you are not having massive bleeds this is a massive positive. As it was the big bleeds that did the damage and irritated the uterus. Bleeding is always a concern, but some women have it all the way through their pregnancies. So it can be normal for that pregnancy. Some women even get periods all the way through pregnancy... so it can be harmless to the pregnancy.
Hopefully they will find the cause...but the scans are not as good as we think as they can not see everything, especially in detail. For example blood vessels.

The other and last thing is that you are bleeding is probably going to be unrelated to the placenta, as that does not kick in until about 10 weeks. So it is about that time the placenta would display bleeding. Hence why I got my bleed at nearly 11 weeks.

Hope this all makes sense...

seaside72 · 14/02/2007 15:12

weepootleflump -I know - I confused myself too!

I am a newbie to ths temping lark also - but the reason I think I ov'ed on Sunday is that I have also been using the CB fertility monitor and some cheapy ebay LH surge/Ov tests and they both gave be peak/positive results on Saturday - so by that logic OV would be Sunday (maybe evening?) and as I understand temp rise can be 24-36 hours after OV

Not sure if that makes any sense?

honeyapple · 14/02/2007 15:57

Hi Greedy, sorry to hear about the bleeding. You have been through it a bit with this one, but it has sticked so far. You must be feeling horrid.
I think a pedicure is slightly an odd val pressie- but i got (so far) bloody bollock all! I even MADE a card for DP with my own fair hands! DC did do me some lovely cards, so not feeling too miffed! DP said this morning- "Oh, I didnt think we bothered with valentines"... mmmm, i definitely had a card last year, and the one before that etc... i think i even recall chocolates and flowers somewhere in the dim and distant past. I went past a flower stall today and nearly bought myself some flowers...

Oh, and BTW- VERY sore boobies and slight cramps today...so suddenly not feeling so optimistic about this month .

greedyforbabies · 14/02/2007 17:34

thanks rahrah and honeyapple. you talk a lot of sense rahrah, do you know that? my bleeds havent been massive at all, more like a light period. i have got cervical erosion, but you normally tend to bleed after sex with that dont you? i also have a pregnancy cyst apparently. and i have been looking at them on the internet (as you do!) and apparently they can cause pain and bleeding, so i am a bit reassured by that.

anyway - to all you newbies who might be confused......i was lucky enough to get my bfp 3 weeks ago and the reason i am still on this thread (moaning most of the time, unfortunately) is because we kind of agreed to all stay on it util we all got our BFPs.................so who is next?

greedyforbabies · 14/02/2007 17:36

i made a card for dh too honeyapple! mine was shit!

honeyapple · 14/02/2007 18:42

It's the thought that counts eh Greedy!!
One year I gave DP a card with a polaroid of my boobs on it!!

honeyapple · 14/02/2007 18:42

sorry greedy- meant to say, i'm glad you are feeling ok about the bleeding.

rahrah1 · 14/02/2007 19:53

Greedy, I don't normally make any sense, but thanks...

I have just made DH a lovely meal... Fillet steak, Horseradish creamed potatoes and stuffed tom's.... and for desert Pineapple up side down cake... UMMMMM

I'm such a good wife!

weepootleflump · 14/02/2007 21:19

got you now seaside! I'm only doing the temp thing so far but if it takes much longer I'll have to try the others too.

angelfire777 · 14/02/2007 22:45

just popped in to say good night after a cool valentines day.
honeyapple loved your idea for a valentines day card!!!!x

Minxi - I think disturbed sleep can raise your temp - I know that on the two nights pre ov this month that I had woken up in the night I had higher temps than average? I am sure your bug doesn't help too! Hope you feel better soon.

rahrah, night of passion indeed, I wish!, instead I was tucked up in bed by 9pm and sniffling like a maniac. I have a nasty headcold and feeling very sorry for myself, couldn't even get a sensible temp reading today, as I kept waking up every couple of hours and then when I did try to take my temp, I could not breath though my nose so my readings were all over the place, anywhere between 36.1 and 36.8 depending on whether I could hold my mouth shut long enough!!!! Well I was coming to post earlier that I thought perhaps fertility friend had got the calculations right and that I am only 12dpo, but just popped to the toilet and tra-la, there she is on her way, I can see aunt flo in the distance. Spotting now, will be full flow by lunchtime. So I guess I will be cycle day 1 again by the end of today.

I will try to come back later to read happy thoughts from the rest of you.

AAAAAHHHHHH!
I just did a massive post then somehow accidently pressed something and its all bloody gone...grrrrr

So, I shall begin again.

Mum03- sorry to hear you are feeling shit and that af might be on her way. But on the plus side, it's still relatively early days for you on the TTC highway. Sorry- not much comfort i know. I think it pissed me off more when AF came in the first couple of months, cos i couldnt believe it! Know i couldnt believe it if it didnt!

Had a stupid temp taking session this morning. Got up as needed a pee- realised it was 6 am so took my temp (usually do it 7.30) anyway it said bloody 36.5!!! Which is def just below or on coverline. Anyway went back to sleep, took temp again at 7.30 and it was 36.8. So I have decided to post 36.7 this morning as a compromise and to make me feel better. It may not be accurate, but I dont care! Will make sure i get a proper temp tommorrow.

I am feeling a bit odd- kind of clammy and hot. Boobs very sore and nips seem bigger??
Probably all AF related. Tis due tommorrow or sat.

Love to everyone
xx
