Jools Thanks, so I could be still in the game.. I have only had two temp shifts so far... so may be tomorrow will be my next one. But say if the temp shift occur during the day?? instead of my normal morning wakeup temp taking... flipping yeck this is hard!! Well, I think either way I have got the bases covered we have bd on Sunday and Monday and missed Tuesday and then bd on Wednesday morning and will be bd tonight - phew and then possibly on Friday and then its a wrap!!

Sounds like all bases covered cindy - well done. Exhausting isn't it?

C1NDY · 24/06/2009 21:38

Yellow you are telling me but this month is just a warm up. Its very interesting doing the temping. I seem to have a little dip before I ovulate which is good apparently as it gives me a little warning. Tommorrow I should see my last rise and then it will be over and the two week wait will kick in.

Very quite in here today... where is everyone?

Dalrymps · 24/06/2009 22:42

The line was pink, just very very pale pink. Will no doubt not be able to resist testing tomorrow now too... Wish I had the strength to stop myself testing now till sat. How can I do it???!

Yellow - You are not a horrible person in the slightest, you're completely normal! I am the same, my sil is ttc, I want her to conncieve just as much as myself in my mind and would be pleased for her if she did. BUT I know for a fact if she concived and I hadn't i'd also be deeply upset it wasn't me and would feel a pang of jelousy too. I'm sure she'd be the same also if it were the other way round. Your time will come, lets hope soon!

C1ndy - Sounds like the BD is going well Hope you've hit the jackpot already

Dalrymps · 25/06/2009 07:45

Did another cheapy test this morning, still a faint pink line but ever so slightly darker than the one yesterday eek.

wasabipeanut · 25/06/2009 08:00

Morning all,

Just having a lurk to see how you all are.

Wow congratulations Dalrymps! Come over and join us in the 4 weeks and bricking it lounge when you feel ready!

Cindy You sound like you have been busy lately Just so you are sure, it is ovulation that causes the temp rise so when you have had 3 days of a raised temp you look back to the day it went up and generally, you will have ovulated the day before that IYSWIM. So if you get a rise on days 16, 17 and 18 and beyond you will most likely have ovulated day 15. Remember you can ovulate up to 36 hours or so after a positive OPK - doesn't have to be 24 hours.

Temping is interesting isn't it? I am such a geek.

Yellow I remember that feeling very well you know. The forced smile and congratulations when someone else told me they were pg. Especially when they almost inevitably pointed out that it happenned straight away. Then you just go home and sob. It doesn't make you a horrible person honey it just makes you normal. One of my friends announced her pregnancy a couple of months after my mc and she actually made a point of telling me on my own because she didn't know how I would react. She had the best intentions but it made me feel awful.

One day soon it will be you announcing your pg!

I hope everyone is keeping well and that, in line with C1ndy's predicitons there will be another BFP soon!

Dalrymps · 25/06/2009 08:35

Thanks wasabi , I still can't quite believe it yet, think i'll be more convinced if I get past tomorrow without af. Will come and join you if I do. I think i'm in denial at the moment!

yellowflowers · 25/06/2009 10:08

Congratulations Dalyrymps!!!

I am still in middle of BDing - no ovulation yet so am guessing it'll be this weekend but going to BD tonight and tomorrow and Sat and Sun if I can persuade DH (yeah right!).

Where is everyone...?

Joolsiam · 25/06/2009 10:10

Looking good Dalryimps see - this is a lucky thread ! You join and you get PG - simple !

Yellow - AF has just departed so I'm gearing up for a BD fest and will be starting early to see if we can get over DP's issues. Fingers crossed this will be the cycle where I graduate from this thread for the third time (rolls eyes)

Dalrymps · 25/06/2009 10:18

Thanks ladies.

Surprisingly this month we had the least sex we've had since starting ttc, only 3 times during ferile period and once about 6 days ago... I also had a drink of lager now and again . Well it was supposed to be a relaxed month, must have worked! My fingers are still tighly crossed I get past tomorrow, I know I keep saying it but I so scared AF will show up anyway...

Good luck with your BD yellow and joosiam

Joolsiam · 25/06/2009 10:59

Not unusual

PG 1 - BD'ed twice during fertile time
PG 2 - 3 times
PG 3 - Once !!

Just don't ask me how to hold on to them

Dalrymps · 25/06/2009 11:07

Ah I see joosiam. sorry about the holding on to them...

C1NDY · 25/06/2009 11:51

Wasabi I am very new to this temping thingy me bob... can I give you may stats? well, given to you any way... Okay -

CD13 - bd
CD14 - bd
CD15 - 1st rise, OPK+ (no bd )
CD16 - 2nd rise, bd
CD17 (today) - 3rd big rise, hoping to bd tonight

So what is the analysis... I must have ovulated on CD14? Should I still bd tonight??

Sorry for the question, but I am really enjoying temping right now.

Cindy folds her arms in anticipation for Wasabi to relay her wisdom on temping

C1NDY · 25/06/2009 11:52

Cindy waves to all the other girls

Only one more spot remains for the bfp, wonder who will get it?

OP posts:
wasabipeanut · 25/06/2009 13:22

Hi again Cindy!

OK, just from what you have given me something looks a little odd - the fact that you have a temp rise and OPK + on the same day. Bear in mind that OPK's tell you when you are going to ovulate and temps tell you when you already have so you wouldn't expect to see them on the same day. One is predictive and one is historical which is why as Jools says it is a great way of predicting your cycle in future months.

It is difficult to see without looking at your temps for the whole month so far. Also, have you had any disturbances in sleep like your DD waking or a glass or two of vino? If I had more than one small glass of wine of a night I would sleep less soundly and my temps would be a fraction higher as a result.

Have you recorded all your temps? Fertility Friend has lots of online tutorials about temping analysis - that is where I got it all from! If you want to post your temps though I will check back again later?

Pinkyblue123 · 25/06/2009 13:47

Congratulations Darly fantastic news.Hello everyone else, just pooping in as I am really busy today, good luck with TWW and BD over the weekend! x

yellowflowers · 25/06/2009 18:51

You're probs covered cindy but I would BD tonight anyway just in case. Can't harm to have extra swimmers in there.

C1NDY · 25/06/2009 21:41

Wasbi DD has had the chicken pox on Tuesday so have had to take temp at 4am or 5am... once, I took temp after getting up but remembered as one foot hit the ground, so took my temperature. With OPK, I guess I have a couple more days... so will bd tonight just in case!

Yellow thanks I will bd tonight just in case.

Wasbi, I have been hitting the vino but only on the weekends... so stats I have given you have not had any vino influence. I have cut down on my drinking as I am trying to lose weight. It may be my MC, this is my second AF so I may still be all over the place?

Speak to you all tomorrow

Hi again!

Well C1ndy I would certainly say you had covered your bases! I did think that hormones and therefore temps might still be a bit wobbly given the timescale but didn't want to say.

I hope you, and indeed all my grapefruit pals have a successful month!

Dalrymps · 26/06/2009 14:26

Hey ladies, how is everyone doing?

C1NDY · 26/06/2009 22:36

Dalrymps How are you, have you had another test done?

OP posts:
Dalrymps · 26/06/2009 22:38

Ok ta, my AF was due today and no sign of it (yet). If it's not here in the morning i'll test then ... Kinda scared of jinxing myself by talking about it

Dalrymps · 27/06/2009 08:43

Ok this mornings test was a more definate Bfp! Guess that means i'm pg then
