Right, not going to test until AF due, not going to obsess over sore boobs, not going to think about baby names, not going to give up alcohol. Anyone want to join me in pretending to not obsess about symptoms/lack of?

Morning!

FFS!!! Bloody Fertility Friend has moved my ov day! Looks like I better keep up with the BDing just in case it moves it again Just when I thought we'd timed BDing perfectly too. It's still good cos we BD'ed on my new OV day but after that there's no more, i need to get cracking .
My temp went really high this morning which is why FF has moved my Ov day forward. I got excited when I looked at my temp and thought FF was gonna tell my it's triphasic! no such luck, bloody FF
So now I'm not to test until the 25th!! I thought the 20th was far away And I'm only 3DPO not 8dpo anymore

Hiya Ei!!! (Queeny) we're not dpo buddies anymore

FruitynNutty · 09/05/2008 06:34

what do you think? I originally ov'd on CD35. Surely the higher temp this morning should have made it triphasic? no?

Oh I forgot to add:

Yellowflowers - due anytime between 16th-18th May
Fruity - Due to test 25th (no idea when AF due because of PCOS)

FruitynNutty · 09/05/2008 06:36

Yellow sounds very good to me but I'm a cynic and dont believe in symptom spotting as symptoms can always be explained away. Fingers crossed though

FruitynNutty · 09/05/2008 06:42

oh no, sorry, I originally ov'd on CD34 When I had EWCM and bad cramps either side of that day

fym · 09/05/2008 06:46

fruity is this your first cycle charting? If not I tend to go on my 'normal' ov temp to tell me (in degrees F mine is usually 98) if it is 1st cycle then ....Very hard to say - i suspect you my be 3dpo, but could also be triphasic (sorry not much help)

FruitynNutty · 09/05/2008 07:17

Morning Fym Thanks for your response. Well I've been temping since 7th Feb and this is the first time I've ovulated according to FF. (Unless you count the time a month or two ago FF thought I had ov'd but it turned out I had fever )

I know it's hard to tell, and FF must be right but I just assumed it would go triphasic, I didnt expect it to change my ov day

tousletop · 09/05/2008 09:29

Fruity, I'm also confused by it all, but have never charted temp so am probably about as useless as it's possible to be....

Yellow - I'll try to do a summary - I think it may need some correcting though

Yellow - due 16-18/5
Fruity - to test on 25/5
Queenie - to test 18/5
Beanie and PrePG - due 12/5
2BG, Fym, Tousle and ? LMD - due 18/5
BabyIG ? due 21/5 - sorry not sure!

Have I left anyone out?

Exhausted this am, DD up from 4am, and had friends round last night. I'm sure this can't be good for my chances, as I don't think my body can cope!

tousletop · 09/05/2008 09:53

PS Feel like I'm almost shaking with the stress of it all this month, hasn't been so bad until now - don't know whether its because I feel like we're doing almost everything right (apart from DH maybe drinking a little more than ideal) and nothing's happening or whether its because of my best friend's pregnancy.
Yellow - I'm also being horrid to DH
I've tried, I really have, but anyone have any ideas to help relaxation?

beaniesteve · 09/05/2008 11:02

AW Tousletop, Hope you are ok - and Mr Tousletop.

I have heard so many people say that giving up trying can be relaxing enough for it to happen but I think you really have to give up rather than just say you're more chilled. I'm extremely stressed most of the time over one thing and another and I know it does me know good.

good luck.

2beautifulgirls · 09/05/2008 11:03

morning everyone. My morning has been eventful already... My grandad has just been taken to hospital as had a fall this morning and nan couldn't get him up then has been wetting himself for past 2 days with blood in urine. he also has diabetes and has blood sugars were 32. something! Sorry to go on just have no one else to talk to.
Hubby at work, friends all working or have there own problems.

tousletop · 09/05/2008 11:10

Thanks Beanie
2BG - I'm really sorry, that sounds awful. It puts things into perspective doesn't it? Hopefully it's just an infection that's sent everything out of kilter for him, and he'll be back to his normal self very soon. Really hope it's all ok

littlemissdaisy · 09/05/2008 11:11

Queenie - to test 18/5
Beanie and PrePG - due 12/5

LMD - CD19 - Due 23-24/5

beaniesteve · 09/05/2008 11:14

Well I am cd 22 and no spotting yet. Spotting is not normal for me but I had it for two days last month. I am guessing that as I have written this down I will get spotting when I go to the loo later

2bg - I hope he's ok. At least in Hospital they will be able to monitor him. And hope your Nan is ok too

2beautifulgirls · 09/05/2008 11:15

Thanks tousletop, probably is just an infection i know, he is in the right place now. They will sort him out.....
Takes my mind off poas at only 6-7 dpo!!!!
No have decided to test day AF due or even later IF i can manage it. Not that i'm expecting it to be positive as haven't really put much effort in to be honest.
So when is everyone testing?

tousletop · 09/05/2008 11:17

Fingers crossed Beanie, you're so nearly there that every day with no spotting/bleeding is a bonus. Are you going to test before Monday?

tousletop · 09/05/2008 11:20

2BG - as far as I can tell, not putting much effort into it seems to be a recipe for success most of the time

tousletop · 09/05/2008 11:23

Sorry, that didn't make sense , I just meant that the people that 'weren't really trying' seem to get BFPs immediately!

beaniesteve · 09/05/2008 11:27

I think I will just wait until pay day - Next Thursday - as I have no tests in the house so can't actually test unless I sneak to the shops at the weekend and get some.

bamamama · 09/05/2008 11:39

hello there, can you count me in too? Been lurking so I may as well contribute!

This is our first cycle of ttc #2. Haven't signed up to FF as I thought I wait a few months before becoming a hardcore ttc-er.

I'm due sometime between next Tues and Thurs but am planning to test on Sat 17th (if I get that far).

I'm assuming that we won't be successful this time around but really struggling with not symptom spotting! We shall see....good luck everyone

PrePG · 09/05/2008 11:49

Hi Bamamama Tousletop so sorry you're so stressed. A nice Friday night dinner with some nice wine with my DH always helps me relax!

and 2BGs How awful your Nan and Grandad. Here's hoping he has a quick recovery.

My chart this month has been less than exciting I'm 8dpo and had a little temp dip and a little bit of spotting this morning. I usually don't start to spot until at least 9dpo if I do at all, so hoping it's implantation {clutching at straws - clutch clutch clutch}

2beautifulgirls · 09/05/2008 12:05

Hi bamamama

TMI ALERT
Just went to the toilet and wiped a lot of CM!!! So do i GOF tonight? As i thought i OV last friday saturday as has EWCM then? Could i just be OV late? i am on CD 20 last cycle was 30 days? Suggestions anyone?

FruitynNutty · 09/05/2008 15:12

Yeah, just go for it 2BG might as well I'm gonna keep BDing until I get AF as I'm not sure if FF is gonna take away my ov lines or not.

FruitynNutty · 09/05/2008 15:13

Hi bamamama you never know, it is possible to happen 1st cycle. Unfortunately most of us have been waiting months and months I hope you dont have to!
