Morning all 
Sookie, Sally is actually my middle name! My first name is Helen (but you ladies can keep calling me Sally because, well, I like it!!
)
My temp dropped again this morning and I am starting to think that i didnt actually ovulate and that my temp rise was because I was i feeling a bit unwell over the weekend? My opks have been all over the place (doing three a day!) so i stopped putting them on my chart...as usual...only time will tell
Hope everyone has a good day x

congratulations loola 
this is weird everyone seems to be ov really early this cycle
i also had a positive opk today after a nearly positive the past 2 days but im not sure if the hcg has messed it up 
and given me a false ov my temps seem a little messed up as well, but i had ewcm yesterday i seem to be having ov pain today so me and dh decided that this month was our last time trying, if it doesnt happen this month we will be taking a break, strangely the consultant told us that there is evidence that the chances of a full term pregnancy are greatly increased if you wait a whole year to ttc after a m/c, this is the first enyone has ever told me this i was always told you dont need to wait

FF thinks I ov'd on Sunday. I actually think yesterday, but hey ho, one or t'other. Sunday would be good, a wee scottish conception would be nice. (Or any for that matter!)
Dontchya love the 2WW
Lots of luck and babydust

Hi Ladies
Well, I have been to see the doctor. SHe was very nice. I didn't take my charts with me but i wrote down all my cycle lengths and anything else I thought was relevant.
She basically said on the face of it there is no reason why I should not get pregnant because I am having periods 'regularly' i.e. not going months without one, or having one that lasts for weeks.
She asked me how I knew i hadn't ov'd last cycle so I told her about temping, which she didn't seem too convinced by.
She basically said I should try and relax about it, stop charting
and make sure I eat healthily and get plenty exercise - that is good for regulating cycles apparently. Tbh I have been a lazy arse since that UTI started in November as I have been feeling crap most of the time. Which funnily enough is the same time we started ttc.
Now it's gone along with my cold/flu thing I should have no more excuses not to exercise. There is a leisure centre 30s walk from my house. Sadly it's closed just now as they are doing it up, but it opens at the end of April so I will renew my membership then. In the meantime I have one of those lateral thigh trainers which is gathering dust so I will get it out this afternoon...
The doctor also said not to take B6 or agnus castus - just folic acid.
And she said if I want the Day 21 progesterone test at any time (for my own peace of mind) then I can just phone up and ask for it. I said I would see what happens in the next couple of cycles.
So I'm not any further forward really, but I do feel calmer.
I think I will carry on charting though because I want to know what is going on, and if I keep missing ov I will definitely want some proof to go back to the doctor with.
Sorry for the lengthy post!
Congrats to Loola by the way!! I LOVED planning our wedding. I knew exactly what I wanted and DH was happy to let me have it my way, and it was totally perfect - just like I always imagined! (He enjoyed it too!).
How is everyone else?

Thanks kmac!! Glad the Doc appointment went well I hate it when they tell you to stop charting! Ive been so much more relaxed since Ive been charting than before, because I love to know whats going on with my body, but then I am a control freak 
Its good news that as long as you are having a period you can get pregnant, its got to be better to know where you are in your cycle though surely?
I am very excited about getting married!! Ive never been one to dream about my wedding, and Im still not really. I just want to be married. Im browsing ebay for wedding dresses now I refuse to spend a fortune! Im lucky that the cleaner at work also makes wedding cakes, which I know she will do for next to nothing, probably just the price of the ingredients, and also my best mates OH is a photographer so Ill ask him to do photos. Again we should only have to pay for the cost of materials.
If we can get married and have a party in the same place that should save money too. I want to get married around 4pm so we can have photos then go straight for a buffet/party. I dont want a sit down meal thing. I want it to be as simple as possible! My biggest problem is going to be finding a dress that covers my tattoos (on my shoulder and tops of arms) as they wont look nice. I may have to get a stole or a jacket. Im not going to be able to do any work today now that I have a wedding been in my bonnet!

hi all loola congrats hun
have fun planning its great kmac glad your appointment went ok hun
tasha everyone gets temps that stay the same every now and again dont worry hun its completely normal
babydust i wouldnt worry too much about that hun all doctors and consultants have different opinions on if you should wait and how long
hooray for red lines for chill loola and sally xxxxxHi guys,
Firstly Congrats Loola! Weddings can be great. Can't say that I loved planning mine though Once the parents start putting their 2 bobs worth in it can become intense. But we got what we wanted in the end (which was to not have a whole lot of people that we didn't know at our wedding). I only paid $90 Australian for my dress. That's about 40 pounds. And it was gorgeous. An ivory silk antique-like empire line dress that was cut shorter at the front than the back, and was kind of cut in a wave at the back. It was reduced from $600 in a sale. So if you're not after something specific you can find bargins out there. Obviously it wasn't a "wedding dress" but it certainly looked the part.
Kmac - glad the doctor was helpful. Hopefully it's put your mind at ease a bit at least.
Chill and others in the 2WW, hoping that this is your month

I suppose I should go back to the doctors but I am getting sick of my own voice..... Trying really hard not to stress but I just want to end this cycle...... obviously all isnt right with my body but I think I have had every test and scan available....
Sorry to moan but it is just getting on top of me now.....

Just looking through the charts, havng a wee mini-stalk.
Firstly though congrats loola
I must have missed your announcement. Love weddings. Really loved planning ours. We were looking at castles but the prices were massive. But we found a council run (!) Jacobean Hall in the end which was cheaper and fantastic, same atmos as castle. Monsoon do some nice dresses, I think.Babydust, how's it going, are you still getting lines?
ROM, soz you are still going through it, what a pain, hope it resolves soon
Sookie - hope you OV early this cycle and don't have such a long wait.
Loola - chart is looking good. FX'ed
Chokmunkey - you still there? How's it going?
Skairdy - sorry to see you are gassy
- sorry couldn't resist. How's it going with not temping, do you feel more relaxed? Sally12 - yay for the red lines.
Rach -
your chart looks good, hang in there. to everyone else seeing off AF and coming up to ov.Chill

Morning ladies
ROM - The Doctors really should be doing something more to help you I think. This has been going on way too long
My temp shot up again this morning. I had the worst stomach pains in my sleep. I dreamt I was being stabbed! I know why, its because Im constipated again. I always get this after ovulation and it does cause me quite alot of discomfort. This time its particularly bad. I have taken Senokot over the last 2 nights but its still not shifting! I presume thats what caused the pains in the night though. As I live on pasta and cereal there is no dietary reason why this happens. I looked into it though and pregnant women often get constipation because of the high levels of progesterone, so that could be why it happens to me every month after ovulation, and why everything gets back to normal when AF arrives.
I also have had lower back pain for the last 3 days. Id get excited about this being a possible pregnancy symptom, but I just cant tell whether its the constipation causing this or I have hit a nerve or something. My boobs are sore but they always are at this time of the month.
I have bought some fertility tests. Im hoping we dont have to use them as Ill have a BFP, but we probably will. My OH didnt look to pleased about the prospect, but we will do them if AF arrives next week.
