baby dust to all

Hi again

Just wondering. Loking at my chart on FF, compared to others, my temps after OV still seem quite low. There also isnt a steady rise. My temp goes up a bit and then just remains reasonably steady at that level. Others I have looked at seem to keep rising for a while.

Is there anything I should/could be doing to help increase whatever it is that causes the temp rise?

Thanks

Thanks for that Tania!

Good Luck to you all TTC - from reading your thread i went back and searched for the thread i was on when we were TTC and it has bought back some happy memories about how we all stuck together and encouraged each other to keep on trying.

Just keep telling yourselves IT WILL HAPPEN!!!

Good Luck ~~~~* x

Brief stats for today: CD1, cycle 3

I am here! CD20 of a 29 day-ish cycle. Hoping that the number 13 brings us all lots of luck. Will be entering that stalemate period between ov and af soon.....
Once again, congrats to pamina!

Wow you girls are quick.
Well a big congrats pamina you really needed this luck hope all goes well with the house too.

Ooops - didn't refresh before I posted this on thread 12!

Valleygirl - the reason for day '21' is to check your level of progesterone. This can show if you have actually ovulated and whether you have a high enough level to sustain implantation, so it has to be after O.

If you do it too soon or too late in your cycle then the results might be misleading e.g. I sometimes O on day 20, testing for progesterone on day 21 for me might make the docs think I've not ovulated as there won't be enough prog in my blood, when my problem might be something completely different!

They test all the other hormones at the same time, and if you have any problems with them they'll do further blood tests at different points in your cycle to investigate further e.g. if FSH and LH hormone levels look dodgy in the first set of tests then they'll test them again before O (or something like that!)

HTH!

Bugger its 11:45 i have to go to bed DS had a rough night last night so iam expecting the same should have had an early night to make up for it hay. Will catch up in 7 to 8 hours (my morning)
My stats CD12 nearly CD13 in 15 minutes of a 25 day cycle. Fingers crossed that i have had all this sex for a reason IYKWIM
Good night girls
blows a big kiss

Hulababy - the reason I asked is that your Luteal Phase is ALWAYS the same length (unless you are taking something to increase it) therefore it sounds like FF has your O date wrong... this has happened to me a few times with FF - I've been thinking, 'I'm sure I O'd on x day' (checking other signs) and FF says it was earlier, then when af arrives I find out I was right! Computers eh?

Goodnight Tania, sleep well.

Sallie, glad your dd is on the mend, you must have been so worried {{{hugs}}} to your family x

CD7 here, now 6th cycle of trying, fourth since mc. Working until tommorrow tea time, catch up then lol x

hi everyone!!

Pamina..CONGRATULATIONS ....I will add a stats list later on girls and pamina with be the first bfp for November!

temps still high here- 9dpo!

feeling really nervous and imagining other symptoms.......

arghhhh

Have my fingers crossed for you geordie - some more good news would be fab. Hoping this is a record thread in terms of success stories.

Thanks so much for starting the thread, Tania - hoe it is a lucky one for you

Pamina - hang out with us awhile!

Hula - do I understand you right - after ov your temperature rises significantly and stays at that level? rather than continuing to rise? If so, that sounds normal to me. Or are you worried that the rise isn't high enough?

Congratulations pamina3!! Sounds like a mini 'mina could be on the way!
I am on cd15, o-day yesterday, cycle 2 of ttc#3. Can't believe conception MIGHT have occurred. Didn't bd yesterday. No dh . Not very good at waiting altough I am VERY busy at work so not thinking about it at all.
I had a dream last night that I was pg. Probably wishful dreaming more than anything else

Is it REALLY TTC # 13 already

On a HAPPIER note, dp and I plan to try and influence the premonition dream I had about getting a +pg test and the baby being due in September, so wish me well! I'm even gonna spend a fortune of opk! Any recommendations?!

Thanks pamina - well we only bd on cd 9, 11, 12 and 13. O-day was cd14. dh went abroad on cd14. Today cd15.

Good Luck BeckiF!!

Hester - this is my chart from FF. My temp doesn't go up that much at all really, and it doesn't continue rising.

So, could FF be giving me the wrong OV date? I am sure I had EWCM on CD16 last month, which I thought was supposed to occur before or during OV. But FF found my OV date as CD15. AF arrived on CD28, so lutuael phase is 13 days.

Last month I had just come off pill and had no EWCM. FF found my OV at CD18. Lutueal phase this time was 10 days. AF arrived on CD29.

Now I am confused!!!

beckif - lots of baby dust to you. If you are planning to spend lots of money on opks, why don't you just invest in a persona? Much more user-friendly!

Chart home page now has the first two months showing.

Thanks all!

Sallie - I have ordered a 60pk from Medisave! Thought about Persona but no good to me as I have just had a 40 day cycle and the one before was 365+ days! PCOS eh, it's get ya' down! I may as well pee in a pot and drip the drops in the little tester for as many days as it takes! £40 for two months testing isn't bad! Might get to me if I go to another year long cycle though!
