Congrats Bagpuss!!!! 
That's fab news!!! I'm really pleased for you! 
Lots of posts on here today, it's hard to keep track, and got a bit distracted by the cheese bit.
Well, my temp is back down to what seems to be 'normal' now.
So I must still have to ov (assuming I am going to).
Last night I had one bout of CM (I think anyway, it was a little bit pink and had bits in
- thought maybe AF was coming very early, but nothing since). BD'd anyway just in case.
All dried up again today! So I am none the wiser, and trying not to get too worried. I'm not even bothered about a BFP this cycle, I'd just like to know I am ovulating! But Bagpuss, you have given me hope as a lot of what you have described over the last couole of months sounded familiar to me!
Can't remember now who else on the thread I was going to reply to!
Hmmm.
Will have to re-read then post again later!

Thanks again girlies, sending you all oodles of babydust!
Welcome Satch!
Kmac, some people get pinky CM or streaks of pink/blood in their CM around the time of ovulation. It's considered to be a good sign
I had that on either my last cycle or the one before.
You've got every reason to still be positive despite having irregular cycles. Folks like us can still get preggers

Aaaw Bagpuss... I've actually got a tear in my eye!
I'm so pleased for you and you've made me feel so much better too.
And since I started using this forum a couple of months ago you have always answered my silly questions in such a nice way.
Thank you!

its those lovely hormones 
I've been a bit down for a few days but today I feel more positive, I think for everyone that few days after the evil cow arrives is a low time and then we cheer up a bit after she's gone. I know that I am really fortunate compared to most because charting has shown me how incredibly regular my cycles are but everyone is entitled to feel a little down when it doesn't happen for another month.
OK I'm now a little teary myself, went to another internet forum that is nothing to do with babies, in fact its formula one, male dominated and its how I met my OH years ago. And I had a PM. A lovely bloke on there and his wife have just had their 2nd by CS today after multiple miscarriages. They've had great treatment and support through this pregnancy with hormone injections etc and their little girl is here, am so happy for them
ok set up the fertility friend account.
2nd day of cycle - mood = irritable
I bought a thermometer this morning and probably tested later than I would do on a work day, but my temp is 35.5, which is near the bottom of the scale...
Need to go through the tutorials next.
Where there's a will - there's a way

Hey all
I feel all out of the loop, I've been sleeping far too much lately and neglecting stalking you stalkers
Congratulations Bagpuss I agree I think pre-seed was the reason I got my BFP too!
ROM, I gave up all caffeine 6 weeks before getting my BFP and am convinced that helped
Kitty, I love the smelliest cheeses too! I loitered in the cheese aisle in Waitrose the other day and I was in heaven Looking and smelling but sadly not buying 
Good luck to everyone else, can't wait until all the chartstalkers are together in Tri !

Hi everyone! Welcome all new people too, Im glad we have more new people as the we wouldnt have many of us left with all these BFP's!
Well Im pretty sure I ovulated yesterday, got my positive OPK on 2 different tests. Had my usual ovulation pain in my right side, but no temp rise this morning. I set my alarm for 7.30am just to test and it was slightly lower than yesterday. I went back to sleep and tested again 3 hours later, it was higher then, went up from 36.50 to 36.74, but Im not counting that temp as its not reliable and wasnt really high enough to be post ovulatory anyway. I thought it would have risen a little bit more just for the fact that I had a couple of Taboos and lemonade last night? Hopefully it will rise tomorrow. I want to be in the 2WW! My poor OH will be sore if this doesnt end soon! And the longer this cycle lasts the less likely it will be that my Cheri prediction is right!!
Got some more BDing done last night! Afterwards my EWCM was kinda pink and streaky, hope thats a good sign. 
My CM seems to have dried up alot today too, so Im pretty sure Ive ovulated. Perhaps Im still ovulating so my temp rise wont show til tomorrow?
Anyway to the Chart Stalking!
Kitty - Hope those temps stay up for you lady!
Sookie - Hope OV turns up for you soon, the EWCM looks promising that its on its way. I had extra long period of EWCM this month, due to drinking lots of water I think. Ive had it for 5 days so far, which is great of course. Perhaps that is whats happening with you?
Bagpuss - Im going to keep your chart as the perfect template! Thats exactly the pattern I want to see on my chart! Can you keep adding temps once you have your BFP?
Trudy - Hope those temps stay up and up!
You have about 5/6 days left to wait til testing? Fingers crossed for you.
CB23 - Completely agree with you about during and post AF blues. I get them every month. I get panicky and think that TTC is pointless, give up and be miserable with my OH for a day or so. Then as ovulation approaches I get all excited about the possiblity of this being my month, turn into a happy sex machine for a few days. Then comes the 2WW of symptom spotting and buying sticks to pee on. Then AF arrives and the blues start again. Its an ongoing circle of events that eventually will drive me completely insane. I dont know how OH puts up with it tbh. Good luck for ovulation anyway hun, hope you catch that egg
Scones - Have you ovulated? If so fingers crossed for you this month.
Gypsy - Chart still looking REALLY good! Praying that those temps stay up!
Kmac - sorry for my nosiness about the squares! lol, i was wondering if they meant that you had taken your temps at different times, as mine were like that last month. Hope you have ovulated I had streaky pink EWCM last night too, so Im hoping this is a good sign for us both
Hi to Chrissy, Lynsey, Choklatemunkey, Satch, ROM, Kaykav Hope AF goes away and stays away for you all this month for BFP reasons! Sorry If Ive forgotten anyone. Mildly its great to see you still here. How are you feeling?
I love Saturday mornings. OH sleeps in late and I get to blast Kate Bush very loudly downstairs. Some time for myself!
Ladies I need you to remember that I have said this - my nipples have been sore since way before ovulation so DO NOT LET ME CONVINCE MYSELF THIS IS A PREGNANCY SYMPTOM OVER THE NEXT 2 WEEKS!

Ok guys. Hi to everyone Hope you're all doing well.
Sorry to be selfish but PLEASE STALK MY CHART!
I input my temp this morning which I am happy to say has finally risen above my old cover line of 97.7 and FF has given me dashed cross hairs for CD30. I can't flippin believe it. We have tried to get the BDing in every 2 to 3 days but that is the only time of the cycle when we had a break because I really thought that I had Oved at that point from the end of the ferning and the OPKs that were almost + back then. Of course I have only 2 OPKs left now and that's why I haven't been using them the last few days as I thought that I would only test if there was ferning (which there hasn't been).
Anyway, there has been loads of EWCM over the last few days and with the rise this morning I thought that Ov could have happened yesterday. The new FF coverline is much lower than in the past, so I know that I have to wait to see what happens, but I just don't understand why FF thinks CD30. Any ideas????
DH has decided that FF is really my Fertility Foe and is the cause of all our problems He thinks it is more stress than good and I think is hinting that I give it up. NEVER I SCREAM!
Seriously, though, please help!

Hi everyone,

Congrats to all the BFP's, and welcome to the newbies!

loola-Im pretty sure I did OV about 5 days ago as that was my strongest line, i just wasnt sure whether to mark it as a positive on FF. I think if AF comes this month Im def gonna start temping-is it really that reliable as an indicator on ov? does the temp go up or down when you ov? Sorry too many questions lol
We have got loads of bd in this month, all around my strong lines on the opk so i hate to feel positive about being pg cos im probably not, but hey ho Ive got 7 days to wait to see if the witch arrives..........
