[Wanting1]

What is going on? FF moved my ovulation date from date 17 to 19 and today to day 31??? Still no AF but I have given up any hope for this cycle!

 

[A&J]

welcome tootsieb

Well my temp is down again and I think AF could be on her way so looks like another cycle of no ovulation

Good Luck ladies

 

[roseanimal]

mine's down again too.

hope it's just a pre-ov dip

 

[MrsU]

for A&J and roseanimal

for u both x

 

[tootsieb]

I don't know what's happening with me, I had a temp dip which I was hoping was pre-ov, so I did an OPK and hubby said there was definitely a faint line there. I had some spotting too, which I've never had before, but hoped it was something to do with ov'ing. Just did another OPK expecting a darker line, and nothing. Just the control line

 

[MrsLloyd2B]

Hiya,

Sprry i've not been around for a while, been very busy. How is everyone? Anyone want to give me the lastest news?

My temps are back down to a steady 36.4, hope that doesnt mean i haven't ov'd? Does it just mean i'm not preg but i defo did ov? I'll be 10DPO tommorow according to FF not long till me first af! Wooop wooop, cnt wait to start really TTC!!

Have you been drinking this evening? Your urine could just be too diluted for the OPK to pick up a positive. Good luck huni and get BD'ing anyway!

 

[tootsieb]

No, I've not really had that much to drink! I'm confused, as ever. We BDed last night anyway, and I'm going to leave the testing till I get home tonight, fingers crossed for two lines then.

 

[roseanimal]

I've had loads of faint lines and no ovulation with them, just happens with me from time to time.

baby-briggsy i don't know, your temps haven't gone up all that much. could be you haven't ov'd cause it's broken lines ff has put in.

a &j

I'll do a big stalk tonight and see how the rest of you are getting on.

 

[puds]

well ladies what is going on with u all!!! where are all the nice simple easy charts- i'll have a go at explaining them but feel like the grim reaper bringing bad news!

spaceangel- your chart is confusing me! i really don't think u have ovulated yet hun. todays mark on ff was white- did u take it at a different time? or did u put in additional info such as illness, disturbed sleep? yesterdays temp is an odd 1 though as its very high. i wouldn't bother testing yet awhile though hun as ur temps really aren't indicating ovulation yet. keep bding just in case.

wanting 1- : for ur chart too!!! with the last few days temps i must say i'm not convinced anymore that u have ovulated yet either!! i personaly don't agree with ff's latest attempt. if u have ovulated i would say it was earlier- prob day 22 but as i said i'm not convinced. if u did ovulate day 22 u should get a positive test or af in the next day or so- have u any cheapies left? if not uv got to keep bding!!
af won't normally show up unless you have ovulated- ur cycle will be longer than what is normal for u.
i would recommend u try using opks to help pinpoint ovulation.sorry i can't be more help

a+j- hun but if u havn't ovulated the chances are u won't be getting af yet.try to keep bding

roseanimal- for pre ov dip!!!

tootsieb- opks aren't like pregnancy tests- a faint line is a negative. in previous cycles i have got a faint line followed the next day by a darker 1 but this cycle iv been getting faint 1s most days. do u know what mui they are? it should say on the packet. ur chart is still looking very good and it really does look like u are coming up to ovulation- u 2 sure have been at it like rabbits u really mean business! let us know what todays opk result is. make sure u hold ur wee in for at least 4 hrs before testing and let ur sample get to room temperature first if u can. good luck

babybrigsy - another confusing 1!! the bad news is i'm not sure uv ovulated now. ur high temps (36.6-36.7) definately suggest ovulation but the 36.4s uv been getting lately
make me think u havn't. when u ovulate u should see 7-10 days of high temperatures followed by a decline in temps then af. fingers crossed for u though hun but again i would recommend u keep bding.
If u havn't ovulated yet the chances are u won't get af yet. if anything iv said is not clear just ask!!

cyprus- now thats what i call a chart- please please please test soon it looks very promising!!!!! we need cheering up!

I'm so so so upset, i'm practically in tears, i was so hoping that i had ov'd and now with everyone saying i prob havent now i'm in floods of tears.

I just want this depo to be gone and leave my system alone!

All i wanted was for af to arrive, i wasn't thinking of a BFP just knowing my system is working is all i want!

To top it all off i must have slepy funny last night as i'm in awful pain my neck is really hurting bad!

Oh mate
We know how you feel but it will get better babe, chin up. When your cycles go shi**y its awlful but the depo will get out of your system and things will improve. It might take a few cycles BB so prepare yourself but lets hope your one of the lucky ones and it gets out quick. Big hugs babe

 

[puds]

bb- oh hun i'm soooo sorry! i know exactly how u are feeling. i'm the same with the pill. its over 8 months since i came off it and sooo want to be back to normal- i've had 3 afs in that time and now on day 62. its devastating and seeing bfps on here doesn't make it easier but ur not alone. i soo wish i knew what i know now years ago and never went on the stupid thing. i can't remember if uv been to ur gp but please please make an appointment and get them to give u blood tests/scan (if u havn't already had them) don't let them fob u off with its perfectly normal.... theres things that can be done and it will put ur mind at rest when u can see everything is fine and it just takes time. iv never been on depo myself so can't comment on what is normal or not with that. u are entitled to nhs help before uv been ttc for a year when there are other factors involved such as irregular cyles/not ovulating.
also hun- i'm not a charting expert i'm only saying what i can see from ur chart. it may be that u did ovulate and ur temps are just low- don't rely on ur chart to tell u everything
i've had many days when all i can do is cry- its all the messed up hormones we are trying to deal with but it will happen hun its just taking a little more time.
hope u feel better soon

Hi Girls, had a little break but back x x x

Just had a moan on another post and Puds if your on you said my chart looks good, I think it looks very up and down again where as others look a bit more steady.

What is normal??? Are anybodys charts what the text books would call normal??

 

[melissa5317]

Helloooooooooooooo

Cori, everything crossed but my legs for ya, hon!

Donna, fx for an earlier ov for you this cycle.

Pudsie, don’t want to jinx anything, but looks like your temps might be stabilizing a bit – here’s hoping for ov for you soon!

Cyprus, not quite sure why FF is only ‘guessing’ at your ov date b/c that looks pretty clear to me! Omg, TEST!!!!

Briggsy, I’m so sorry, hon – I know EXACTLY how frustrating it is to think that you’ve oved and then find out that you probably haven’t. Keep the faith!

Wanting1, don’t know what to tell ya, hon, other than keep bd-ing!

Sarafet, you’ve got like 80 different possible ov dates! Lol Gonna watch yours over the next few days… Side note: I can see that you’re actually temping in Celcius, so you might want to change the view of your chart on the ‘Home Page Setup’ to Celcius.

Rosie, hope your temp evens out and you get some good news soon!!

Louise, hope that steady rise keeps up for ya!

Tootise, you must be exhausted! FX for ov in the next few days!

Hi everyone else!

 

[LouF]

Mel what do you reckon to my chart, do you think it looks up and down?? There are higher temps this time compared to last at this stage? Just not to good at this

I wouldn't worry about it too much - there's so much that can affect where your temp lies: what season it is, whether you wear pajamas to bed or not, what you've been eating for dinner, etc. I find that if I'm eating food that aren't that nutritious for dinner (i.e. Valentines Day, which is why I discarded the next morning), my temp shoots up.

If your cm is following the same pattern as last time, I'd say you're probably about to ovulate in the next few days, so get in the sack, woman!

 

[LouF]

Thanks Mel your a star x x

I did wonder if stopping smoking has made the temps a bit higher too.

Bad food - yes had lots recently with valentines and then a visit to my sisters
