Temping Buddies 11 - The Vita West Appreciation Society - Springing into BFP's!!

[fym]

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...

................................

Hi Lottie, thank you!! ... I don't really 'feel' like I'm at 10DPO so I'd love to revert ov back to CD22 again. I really got frustrated with my OPKs this cycle so it wouldn't surprise me if one was off. The two dates I'd marked were defintely my darkest lines ... there was a bit of fading to one side of the test lines but about 2/3 to 3/4 of each line was as dark as or darker than the control line. It was the faded part that confused me. Going back to CB digital next cycle so there's no question.

I'll remove the first positive opk ... let's hope that does the trick. Thanks again, Lottie ... you're a big help Now get listening to your CD again ....

Get a cb digi opk and there is no guessing, just either a smiley face or not. I'm absolutely converted .

Off to look at your chart

Nope def cd22 I'd say.

Tink that chart of yours is looking better isn't it? hope you get the lines tomorrow.

I've found my thermometer, so will maybe have lines tomorrow as well, then I'm not temping/testing anymore until either 12dpo or my period is late. Just update my days as usual please.

have you Lottie?

I must've missed that post. Well I'm converted now.

sq thanks we can try and get lines together

Temp took a gigantic dive this morning so I reckon AF has packed her bags and is on the road to my house. Trouble is, I have no idea what to expect. I forgot my B6 quite a few days this month, and the sore nips have returned, albeit not nearly as bad as before. So the question is....will my luteal phase be 11, or 12 or 13 this time? Usually my temp drop happens two days before AF, so I might be looking at a short one again.

Holy cow, Squacky that's some temp jump you've got! Wish everyone's was so clear!

Clair, CD22 looks so much more likely.

Tink, looks like you just had a big temp jump, I'd say O was more likely on CD36, but you'd need two more high ones to confirm that.

Hi all
Been away to france for the weekend (hark at me sounding so jet setty)...but had a great weekend with friends away from the thermometer and thoughts of the 2ww.....weather was gorgeous so am feeling quite rejuvenated...so, haven't temped for 3 days and have decided I prob won't bother now til AF comes along...
Hope everyone ok - Lottie are you feeling a bit better ? Sorry you were miserable.

All am a bit confused re the digital OPK thingies - I have a clearblue one (pink button?) and kept the base but are you saying you can get replacement sticks for it? They're so flipping expensive those things thats why I opted for the cheapy internet ones. Sorry if the ?'s already been asked - I got a bit lost below with what was going on but caught the jist.

Just trying to catch up on my trillion skyplussed telly programs !.....

Hello lovely ladies one and all

Thought I had better report in after our long weekend (last weekend) in the Big Apple.

No idea where i am cyclewise as time difference and jetlag affected my temps and am trying OV sticks this month too, but again hard when you are out and about eating lovely food! Pretty certain I OV'd at the airport before coming home as had bad abdominal planes.

I did LOADS of shopping, especially shoes as they are a lot cheaper. I got DS some little converse boots - only £10 and he looks sooooooooooooooooooooo cute in them. Also jumpers and tank tops 4 me and loads of clothes for DS from Macy's as they had a 1 day sale on.

We went all over the place - Empire State Building (thurs eve), Fri - MoMA and gorgeous lunch at their new restaurant "the Modern" followed by 2hrs of shopping - went to Tequila Flats - which was fab, noisy and a free shot of tequila, and we went to a fab place in Tribeca that u peeps recommended for a Sunday brunch, before catching the overnight flight back. but on the whole we just spent a lot of time in Heartlands breweries (we managed to visit all 4!!)

So a HUGE thank you from all 4 of us who went for your fab recommendations it was fun trying to find places.

I know I have missed loads here and I am sorry that I have not been more supportive and involved recently, I guess I am just starting to feel like DS will be an only child and I will have to deal with that.

Sarah I think my last chart on ff was the same for post-O rise. It's better I agree to not have to guess.

Herbie, Lottie and I were bemoaning the fact that the digi opk's, brilliant as they are, are very expensive to use and there re no replacement sticks available. Each month would cost £22.99 for a new kit.

I also use a persona and had to check out the website for a contact number and noticed it's the same company who produce both.

Then I noticed the test sticks looked identical.

Once I got the face on the opk and the persona (peak), I used the next days urine to test the persona sticks in the cb digi opk the next day, got a face.

You can buy replacement persona sticks from Boots for £9.99 per pack of 8 tests. Blushingbuyer sells them for £7.85, I think.

If you have a regular cycle and know roughly when you O, then I think you could make on pack of test sticks last 2-3 months.

That's significantly cheaper than any other OPK's, but far more reliable results, because there is no need to interpret the results.

Hope that makes sense.

Welcome back Nappy, glad you enjoyed your trip.

Tink going by your temps I think you O'd on cd36, ff will give you the lines tomorrow if you have another high temp, I bet.
I don't think it's cd33 because you still had 2 low temps for two days after that, but cd36 looks a cert to me. I think that would make us 2ww buddies

hi squacky we can wait together
bugger was hoping cd 33 has if cd36 may have missed egg bd on cd8,10,16,21,25,27,28,30 and 33
what are my chances of timing it right

I got Dd from sex on a monday and O on the following friday. The boys were all conceived the same day as O.

This one is two days before, but I'm sneakily trying for a girl to even things up lol.

Wouldn't bother me either way though obv.

Ultimately I think it depends on the sperm quality, but perfectly possible I'd say, it's far more likely to be a girl too

i would like a boy as have a girl hoping that cd33 get egg

Ah well I hope you're pg either way. It's a great excuse to have another

Actually I've just noticed on my chart that my temp is horrendously low today wonder why that is?

thanks squackycake babydust coming over for us both **

Blimey I got a shock when I saw 11dpo, had to go look at FF to check! Have corrected it as I'm actually only 10.

Nappy your trip to NY sounds fab, glad you enjoyed it. I'd love to go but would struggle to get DP on a plane for a flight that long.

Squacky really interesting that what they say about timing of intercourse and sex of the child worked for you! I would love a girl but currently would settle for just getting pregnant as that doesn't seem to happen for us despite timing things right.

Herbie your weekend sounds great too. I'm not temping in the 2ww either.

Hi to everyone else!
