Oh yes Squack any symptons..
Well I am 11DPO drmatic temp drop todya and yesterday felt very sick. Also had slight cramping yesterday. Today have diahorea but starving - everytime I eat goes straight through me (tmi) also horrid taste in my mouth (not metallic just not very pleasant)
but due to temp drop not holding out for too much... no testing for me though still need to go to shop and buy one and can't see the point yet!
Hope everyone okay....
Lottie sorry to see yourr thinking its over.... your temps and chart are very good though....
LBOT Hope you are feeling better... is this cd1 today now ?
Yarnie how are you feeling during your 2ww..

Yarnie · 10/06/2008 12:49

Minxi You never know, Minxi, the temp drop could be an implantation dip, especially with those symptoms. I'm not really a pro at reading charts though.

I am entirely symptom-free. I don't usually suffer from any post-ovulation twinges/boob tenderness, etc and this month is no different. This is my first proper cycle monitoring temps and cm so I don't have anything to compare them to. At least having no symptoms at all means I can get on with my life and not wonder whether every little twinge/pang/bowel movement (!) is a possible sign of early pregnancy.

I feel so entirely normal that I would be gobsmacked if I was pregnant. I just want AF to hurry up and get here (should be a week tomorrow) so I can crack on with cycle 2.

Yarnie · 10/06/2008 12:50

Sorry - don't know why I felt compelled to type your name twice Minxi! Minxi

Maybe that will get it out of my system

lastboxoftampons · 10/06/2008 14:46

Thanks, Lottie. I was wondering that myself. I pretty consistently O on CD18 - but looking back at my charts I always seem to have a day where I haven't woken up at the right time or something right around ovulation, so I wonder if my body responds to progesterone more slowly. The temp shifts do seem so clear though...not sure.

Minxi I think I'm on CD3. I started spotting at 8dpo but I can honestly say that was spotting (and also at 9dpo). But by 10dpo, I needed more than a panty liner in the morning (sorry if TMI!) but then it went back to spotting. Today was my first day of being absolutely sure it was my period, but I don't think I could totally disregard Sunday and count today as CD1 - it might help me psychologically with regard to my LP, but in the long run I don't think it makes any difference. Anyway, your symptoms sound like implantation to me! fingers crossed for you!

Yarnie Hoping you have a pleasant surprise!

Afternoon ladies. Reckon I o'd yesterday, although it's probably too early to tell for sure. Anyway, here's my chart

sorkycake · 10/06/2008 21:32

erm...
1-5dpo I was a bit gassy, but nothing really

6dpo I saw some creamy cm (had been bone dry until then which was not me), was in a god awful foul mood, had a headache and went to bed early, shattered.

7dpo headache was still there, now had some backache for company. Some cramping.

8dpo in a much better mood, but still some backache. My temp rose a little bit.

9dpo nothing at all. My temp was 98.9!

10dpo backache returned and ff says my temps are possibly triphasic. I started to get spotty.
I tested with an ebay cheep (-ve) & a CB and thought I had a positive (3mins), but brushed it aside as an evap because it wasn't dotty ?!? Loose stools (not quite diahorrea)

11dpo Headache, backache and spotty. Skin soooo oily.
Tested with the CB (twin pack) same result but within 2 minutes and ever so slightly darker, but still no dots. Went to shops and got a FR, tested after holding wee for 4 hours and ''Blam'' +ve!!

For the record the 10mi ebay cheeps didn't register a positive until I was 15dpo! That's 3 days late.

Minxi & Lottie your charts do look very good

when will you be tempted to test?

So fab to see all these BFPs by the way. Forgot to say that earlier.

Morning girls...not too hopeful, temp higher slightly bu maybe thats because too hot and I was wrapped in duvet! and feel very grumpy today
Hope all well with all - catch up later..

Yarnie · 11/06/2008 07:20

Sorry you're feeling grumpy Minxi. The cyclical mental adjustments us ttc-ers have to make definitely take their toll, don't they? I don't know what the weather's like where you are, but getting your face in some sun should promote the release of endorphins and make you feel a little cheerier.

My temp is switching from 36.62 to 36.72 on alternative days which makes a neat pattern on my chart(!) That's about all the news I have to share. I'm 7DPO, but no symptoms at all. I momentarily considered eating a spoonful of lemon curd when faced with a virgin jar of the stuff, but I have a pathological sweet tooth

Yay Squack/sorky!!! So pleased for you!!!!

Lottie, fingers quietly crossed for you

CD4 and I'm very pleased with myself so far as I haven't had a whiff of latte, replaced with at least two cups green tea a day and have exercised every day for the past three. Being very saintlike as that's how I was the month I got a BFP!

Lottie I love MN for being able to share these things! Before AF I generally get a bit of an increase in CM and it is more lotiony rather than sticky like it is in the days after ov. I take this as a sign AF is on its way. A day or two beforehand the CM is a bit brown-tinged, too.

I would say that if your cm is usually of a specific quality before AF a change may be an indicator of pregnancy. Of course, all sorts of things could also explain a change in cm.

Well I normally have a couple of dry days immediately after O, then the creamy cm returns. This month however I was dry for about a week. Then slowly I got to the point I'm at now which is stringy and egg whitey.

If it's a change from your normal then yes it's a sign of something different this month.

Most pg women see an increase in cm from early pg and it continues right through to birth. It's kinda icky towards the end as there's so much of it.

Another very early sign for me was that my cervix stayed very high but was firm and closed. Normally it would drop a litle lower, but this would only be noticeable if you know what the pattern of cp is post-O.

I'm getting a leeeeetle excited for you Lottie

I would just POAS tomorrow and get it over with.

If the spotting was implantation then a good test 1-2 days later should show a positive result.

You would be a day late then as well, which adds to the good news. Yes I agree looking at you chart overlay a high temp tomorrow would be a different pattern.

Ah, feck it, i'd have poas ages ago and everyday until I bled, but that's me and it doesn't bother me to see a negative tbh. I'm always hopeful until I bleed, then i'll be a bit upset. BUT everyone is different aren't they?
