Chart Stalkers

[jemz24]

ive had a temp rise, cm is watery and my chart shows the green light gonna take an okp later. so looks like BD is on the gender tonight yay.

Jemz, you really need to be doing the opk before you see the temp rise on your chart because;

opk's will tell you when you have a LH surge which indicates that you will ovulate anytime within the next 12-48 hours and

the temp rise means you have already ovulated because the progesterone hormone has been released which is the hormone that increases you temperature.

Hope this has helped, is this your first month with temps and opks???

 

[jemz24]

yer i done an opk was negative but my chart says possibly fertile so gettin mixed signals there.

it is my first time using chart, could u take a look at it. i had a massive dip few days after i finished my 2 day period.

plz tell me wot u think

 

[Sophie1102]

It could be any number of reasons, you may have slept with your mouth open, that lowers you temp.

What length are your cycles, as ovulation on day 7 does seem a bit early,

How long have you been using the opk's for, have you had a + yet?

 

[jemz24]

yes i do sleep with my mouth open, and my OH has a fan on everynight.
my cycles are all over the place since january.

that was the first opk in this cycle i will be using them now everyday till i get my +.

 

[Sophie1102]

Hi Jemz, Just had a look at your chart and i think when you do ov the temps should probably rise above 36.40 as this seems to be your highest so far.

How long was your last period, you could count 14days back and then have a rough idea as to when you should ov, then take 2 tests one about 11am and then another about 6pm

I'll keep checking to see when you get a +, good luck

thanx sophie

my last period was late by 28 days and only lasted 2 days which ended 7 days ago.
i used to think that i ov'd around the 14 th day mark but after months of tryin and due to my cycles being very late im not so sure anymore. by my older predictions (meanin if i have a 28 day cycle this time) i should ov next friday.
but im testin early just in case i miss my window and i dont want to do that lol.

 

[Sophie1102]

Good thinking, it must be really annoying to have to wait for so long, although having just thought about it for a bit you may have had a anovulatory cycle where you didn't ovulate and therefore missed a period, especially if you have had 28 day cycles before, which would fit if it was 28 days late.

It's good that your doing the temps and opk's as least you will have an idea of how your cycles work.

Good morning ladies - and how are we all today?

Had a really bad AF this month - it just seems so much longer than before although i don't think it is! Did everyone have a good weekend?

 

[Tillytots]

hey

Im feeling v.monday'ish and depressed for no apparent reason

How are you? AF sucks hun

Im sooooooo wishing I started temping at the beggining of this cycle instead like a donkey I left it until OV.....

my temp took a dip yest and now shot back up...I have no idea what this means if anything and cant really tell without a bit of history can I

 

[Sophie1102]

Hi ya tilly

a temp drop around 7-10dpo then a rise straight after can mean implatation, this happened to me this cycle, but without your previous temps I can't be 100% sure, hope this may clear things up a bit

 

[tots hope]

Im ok - think i may have broken my elbow though and not sure if i should go and check it out? Smashed it when i was in the shower this morning. Its not swollen but it really really hurts! If i can get time off work i might consider going but otherwise i don't think i will bother unless it becomes unbareable!

As for your chart Tillytots I have no idea - it could be OV or Implantation. Why are the temps 2 days before the dip in white - did you take them at a differnt time?

 

[Tillytots]

hi sophie thanks for having a look .... only 6days to go then Il know!!! If AF does get me then at least next month Il have a clearer picture. How you feeling?

@ Tots Hope Poor you!!!!! Id deffo go get it cheked out if it still really hurts, you prob hit your funny bone which hurts for days sometimes. hope it gets better

The white dots on chart are where I accidently put them down as 6.30pm instead of am and I have since changed them but they wont go to blue, they just stay white??

xx

 

[Sophie1102]

Hi ya tilly, i'm still feeling like it's not real at the moment, I did another test this morning just to make sure i wasn't seeing things!!!

Hoping the six days goes really fast for you, does that mean you will be testing at the weekend??

 

[tots hope]

Well i have broken my elbow - not enough to get a cast put on which i am gutted about becuase i thught i was in for 6 weeks off work!!!! I will try harder next time!

How is eveyone doing to day - not yet looked at the charts - anyone coming up to OV?

 

[Tillytots]

OMG! Poor you tots hope!!!

Have you got any time off work at all? That must've been some whack! I broke my arm once and didnt get a cast and felt cheated lol

5days 'til testing for me

 

[tots hope]

I certainly feel cheated by not having a cast! It is only a small hairline fracture and they said that a cast wouldn't do a lot so there was no point, still at work but just having to take it easy. Not easy being a physio with a broken elbow - sort of stops most of my working.

5 days till testing - not long now. Are we feeling positive?

 

[Tillytots]

Aww hun! A one armed physio At least you get to put your feet up for a bit...well I hope!!

Hmm 5 days. I was feeling really positive yesterday but today Im feeling like I know its going to be a BFN today. I think I have either a bad case of PMT or Mood swings. Whatever it is Im feeling my hormones....and so is everyone else LOL I've been offered a little sign to put up by my desk saying pmt alert and then has a thing which has yes or no on alternate sides! only a man could come out with something so thoughtful....apparently he brought one for his wife.

Looking on the brightside if it is a BFN then there's always next month and it was fun practising, this was 1st month of TTC properly, the 3months before were just BD'ing and hope so no wonder we didnt get it right!!

 

[tots hope]

awww you poor thing - people at work are ignoring me at the moment as i just set off the panic alarm by mistake and they all came running! It was quite entertaining to watch but i am slightly embarrassed!

 

[Tillytots]

LOL!

Not sure if its a sign but Im feeling really sick today but happier
