Hi All

Thought I start the new thread before we ran out of space on the old one!

Hopefully good old Vita (Zita!!) will sprinkle some babydust on us all...

Sorky, put as much as I could remember on there. . .

sorky - I'm really sorry

If it helps I do seem to remember that this happens quite frequently - very early so that people often don't know they've been pregnant.

don't feel stupid, I think we would all have been in the same boat as we ALL POAS far too soon!

TCOYF says 18 high temps to 'confirm' a positive....but I certainly couldn't wait...

Aw, sorky don't be so hard on yourself! Now you're back to CD1 - another cycle, another chance! Big hugs for you!!!

sarah LOL about front bottom! Not one I had heard until this past New Year, I think. A friend said her 5-ish year old nephew was googling it. So what's a bunch of 30-something's to do on NYE but google it too! I seem to remember goingout, getting drunk and partying till dawn on NYE - yeesh, what's happened to us???

Sorky - really sorry about your disapointment. Can only hope it works out better this time.

ClairL - you've finally pushed me to go out and find a reflexologist and get going with it over the next few months before starting IVF. And I'm starting back at my yoga classes again to help me relax too.

I had a wonderful long weekend in NY with DH once - but we did it on a staggeringly tight budget (hotel turned out to be half doss-house ). Would love to go back with some cash

minxi · 09/04/2008 11:41

Girls, haven't chance to chat 4 long...but a bit of advice if anyone around.... am on cd35 had spotting (very small dot of blood on cd 29 and cd31 but nothing since temps have been odd all month..cd 29 was 35.65 something and the next day last 3 days have stayed about 36.14... haven't tested as am abroad and haven't got to a chemist...!! boobs a bit tender but never been to cd35 before.... am mildly excited as the dip in temp cd29/31 with spotting could be implantation but don't want to get too excited..any ideas??
sorry this is a me me but am sitting outside a golf complex in the rain...

sorkycake just wanted to pop onto this thread to say sorry for this happening to you. I am just starting to temp and posted a question recently and you gave me some good advice. I was very pleased for you when you got your BFP and disappointed it hasn;t worked out.

I had a similar situation last month with 2 BFPs and a BFN before my period arriving a day late. It was really disappointing after the excitement of 'being pregnant' for a couple of days. I assume it was a CP and havevowed to not test till a few days over this month.

sarah76 · 09/04/2008 14:31

hi Minxi, I know I said I wasn't going to do chart-meddling anymore but....

I'm looking at it and wondering if you are having an anovulatory cycle. They can be much longer than normal cycles. Have you been under a lot of stress recently (TTC in itself is stressful)?

Also wondering about the temps, you have charted in farenheit, but in your post are giving temps in celsius? Which type of therometer do you use, and what kind? I ask because whichever way you look at it, this month your chart has jumped around an awful lot from about CD24.

I still think there's some possibility you did O on the 25th or 26th, as both are big one day increases. However, with temps at 36.14 I can't see how you can confirm it because there's really no upward temperature shift pattern with the temps you got the last few days.

If you did O on the CD25, that would make you due for AF on the CD38. I'm thinking a more likely scenario is that you're having an anovulatory cycle and the spotting is your body figuring it out. At least for me, whenever I have anovulatory cycles, I get spotting for a few days before AF. When I've ovulated, I usually don't spot, or only 12-24 hours before AF comes on full force.

Ramble ramble ramble

Rattling, I reckon you stayed in the same hovel I did when I left hubby in NYC. There was a guy who, every morning at 5am, would start screaming 'Get out of the f*ckin' bathroom!!!'

Hi everyone can I join your thread please? I've only just started with this charting business (three days in!) and have been following your posts and getting some great advice from everyone.

I am TTC no. 3, on cycle 3, CD23 now. Temp today 36.6.

I was going to wait until CD1 to start temping but thought starting early would give me some practice at remembering to take my temp before I get up to go to the loo. Also psychologically if I'm not pregnant I still have the excitement (!) of seeing my temp drop as Af arrives and looking forward to discovering the secrets of my fertility next month. And of course if I am pregnant (woo-hoo) I won't need to worry about it (but may be a little disapponited that I don't get to produce a nice shiny graph of my very own...)

beaniesteve · 09/04/2008 15:01

I'm going to do Hoo-Ha temping next month.
Just been given an ovulation day ... wonder if we did enough

HairyToe · 09/04/2008 15:06

Just had to do a search to work out what Hoo-Ha temping is. Do't think I'd better give that a go. Dh is rolling his eyes at me putting the thing in my mouth every mornong let alone up there.

HairyToe · 09/04/2008 15:08

The thermometer that is. And morning, not mornong.

By the way - sorry to be dim but who is Vita/Zita West and why the spelling 'error' ?

Hairy, I've put you in the list, any idea how many days past ovulation you are? or what your luteal phase is normally? Each morning, the first one to the thread clears out the previous days temps and advances all the cycle days and DPOs. Welcome!

sarah76 · 09/04/2008 15:35

Yay beanie, hope you got it! The same thing seems to happen to mewe do it loads around that time of month but miss 1 and 2 days before ovulation every single damn time! However, they say 5 days prior and up to 1 day after are good, so looks like you got in 4 BDswell done.

HairyToe · 09/04/2008 15:43

Purely by guesswork and monitoring of CM I think I ovulated CD12 which I assume makes me 11DPO. My cycle is normally 28 days, occasionally 27 so I'll guess at a LP of 16 days?

In previous cycles I had thought I ovulated earlier (CD10/11) but this would give me a freakishly long LP and I did have EWCM all day CD12 this time. Sorry if I sound confused but I am - hence the decision to start temping!

So 11 DPO, LP 16 days

HairyToe · 09/04/2008 15:44

Now I look at your stats I still seem to have a strangely long LP? Maybe I'm completely out with the O date after all???

Hairy, I've left the question marks in for now. Myself, I find the EWCM doesn't coincide exactly with ovulation. I seem to have the EWCM and then ovulate the next day or two later....or perhaps I'm remembering it wrong....need to nose around in my own charts for a while!

As for your LP, I think 16 is still within the range of normal. I wouldn't worry too much until you have been charting a whole cycle and can say definitely what it is.
