[Tania2]

Well girls here is another thread.
Lets hope it brings us as much luck as 10 did to all our friends that graduated it.
Love Tan Tan

Hula

Please don't worry or feel confused (and sorry if I've caused it?)!

As long as you bd around that time (which you obiously are!) and keep bd'ing until your o date is confirmed (think on FF it takes 3 days of raised temps) then you're still covered. From your chart it looks like you got the right dates this month anyway.

But if this isn't your month (or for anyone else who's interested) I've read that you should keep bd'ing until you don't have fertile looking CM (eggwhite or watery). Apparently when the progesterone kicks in post O, CM dries up so another sign that you've O'd.

I see from your chart that this is only your second month of charting. Whilst I'd be tempted to trust your EWCM and not worry too much about the temps, they do recommend doing 3 months worth of charts to confirm the length of the LP...

Whilst your temp rises do seem pretty conclusive, the circles aren't filled in this month - did you take temp at the same time, did you sleep properly, had you had any alcohol the night before - all of these can affect temps (alcohol in particular makes my temp rise!)?

Also you could ask people in the circles on FF - sure to be some experts there who can give you more advice!

One thing I will say is that a good friend who was temping fell pg the month that her temps made no sense at all!

Well have got to 7mths now no ovulation - it is a bit hard to ttc with this happening. dd is 7mths old. not charting yet but will start as soon as period comes (hopefully it won't and I'll fluke it again like last time).
Lots of good wishes to everybody else.

CONGRATULATIONS PAMINA3
Well have a little time to myself as kiddies are asleep{at last}...Sorry to hear that bloody a.f keeps popping in to everyone else this month too...
I have just come back from a hosp appointment where had to have an ultra sound on my boob,and my brain was saying to me..Just place it on my belly just incase...
Mad ain't I...Why does whoever is looking down on us have to be so,so cruel?If I hadnt of been late this month I dont think I would of been as upset as I have been,about not being pregnant this month...Have decieded to try and not get too stressed out by not concieving as its pulling me apart each month,doesnt help that I have bad p.m.t..as it is...How is everyone today?

BECKIF, i ordered a lady q ferns thing... Hope it gets me PG !!!!! We try for so long not to get PG and when we want to get PG we cant!!! Let me know how you get on with the OPK's...

ebbie22,
Are you having problem's with your boob? that sound's so silly.. Why were you having a boob scan?

...Yeah I had a lump,since march,and had to keep having it checked...When I went to the docs it had grown and he wanted it to be checked...
So i went to the hosp today,where they felt it then had an ultra sound and they said it was just a cyst so they deflated it today...

The cyst that is,dont think my boobs could get any smaller...

can you imagine a deflated boob!!!
how are you after that?? I have a moving mouse in my boob (doctor's terms)... Found it at a young age, they said it was nothing to worry about.. But its still there!!!

I already have the thing you lick to check for ferns but have no faith in it. Well you wouldn't after 12 monts of licking it, would you?! LOL

Hello all

Just wanted to say hi on the new lucky thread. Not normally a superstitious person but as it was started the day pamina had a BFP...

I'm CD25 and still at least a week off testing - annoying long cycle

When are people due to test? Would love to hear of another +ve...

I am on cd20, and my second 'o' day according to persona so won't be testing for another 2 weeks at least. Still - thats not that far away in the greater scheme of things...Not that hopeful given the stress I am under right now but you never know! Have stoically b-d once a day from day 14 up to day 20 and will continue for a few more days just to be sure. Once the 'o' signal comes up on persona, am I right in guessing you have a few days to keep b-d? Any persona users out there who could give me some tips on timing?!!!

BeckiF, I'd lick the bottom of the pot to get PG lol!!!! What are we like... (Licking things to get PG)

we used persona for DS and bd'd (lots of times!) on the 2 days that we had the O.

lol 'stoically bd'

As I work, b-d lots of times is impossible when I 'o' on a weekday. Its also quite tricky at weekends because of ds and dd but we did manage last night and this morning and hopefully again tonight and tomorrow morning. Hope that will be enough but do I need to carry on for a bit longer. Have to say am looking forward to having a bit of a break

Hi Sallie. Once you get the persona o you have a couple of days. You know when it is time to stop because your CM changes (goes thicker, creamier).

Hula - I agree with everything Bibi says. The second half of your cycle looks very normal to me - it rises above the reference line and stays above it throughout (time to worry is if you keep dipping back below the line). i have never heard that it is supposed to keep rising - it is just supposed to rise above the line and stay there, which is what yours does.

evening ladies, hope every one had a good day today, Ddi Valley girl manage to filter her way over yet?? i've not seen any posts, any how, i've just done the whole 21 dya thing, and the doctor says as long as it's done a week before AF is due it's ok, but mine is a bit of a fence sitter so when i asked about herbal things he wouldn't go with it as there was no 'medical' reserch into it even thou there's been scientific, any ways when I then asked if it mattered about the whole 14 day thing and OV late in the month he again was a fence sitter and just said about the week thing as mine this time was tested on day 19. (but will be exactly one week before AF) any wyas I hope this helps. And this time hopefully we'll both have some good results to report!, my test results took two weeks to come back, but apparently they can take up to 3... Might just be in our area don't know. Any how, welcome to the club hon! lol.

MINNIE1 sorry about ealier they woke up,Im feeling OK just a little achy...does your mouse hurt much?

good luck to everyone on this thread!

feeling very hormonal, sore boobs on cd 10, 11 and today cd12....I never get sore boobs until I have ovulated....no signs of ov at all...don't know what is happening?

Vallygirl I have a really good article on Vit B6 it is very safe to use, but can be dangerous taken in very high does!

Beckif so sorry matey!

Tania I am cd 12 I usually ov around cd17-22....so another week yet.

I know hester (sorry hester if it wasn't you that said it) said that Luteal Phase is same every month, but mine is not! I have been temping and opks for 11 months and it has been different from 6 days to 13 days!!!!

HI jeddah,

Same here, on the boob thing, or well at least I'm assuming thats around the time I OV, no dish thou, but can't bear for them to be touched or any thing and they feel dead heavy and saggy! lol.

Thanks bibi and hester Feeling less confused and a bit better now.

This month is over with anyway, but onwards with cycle 3, hey

I will look out for EWCM next month. Didn't get it month 1, but did briefly month 2. So..that must be a better sign.

I too hope this will be a lucky thread
Jeddah - gosh how can you stand it ? Id' be testing... I know you had a BFN.... still .... what's going on with your body?

I have just posted the update on my gyne problems... not great reading but hey.....
I am REALLY annoyed as only 3 months ago I had EWCM every month now I can't even getr a blxxdy AF (sorry about the pun!)

Good morning girls. Hope everyone had a great day. I havent had the chance to catch up on all the chat yet. DS is playing with his cars on my desk so bit hard to hang around IYKWIM.
CD 13 here.

hula...sorry about af ,,,its so bloody hard

Vel, I haven't tested because I have had 4 BFNs on cd29......cd31..........cd33......also had a visit from af on cd35 and bled for 3 days with very bad period pains...... then the forth BFN on cd41! surely I can not be pregnant!

any opinions?????

Hi munnzieb......its just so funny as I only ever have sore boobs when ov around cd 17-22!

good morning tan......cd13 for me tomorrow!

Vel.......why the hell didn't the quack do all routine fertility tests when you were there last time!
I suppose in a way......lf you are referred to A gynaecologist...at least they will test you fully and get to the route of the prob!

vel.......thats if there is one???
