Chartstalkers - October 08

[HollyHobby]

I dont know if these are symptoms but i had 2 crying episodes yesterday. Read steel goddesses post and i started then was watching a true life movie and had to ask for a cuddle and the tears just started streaming! So unlike me, had to laugh at myself!

Getting some central period pain right now. Had a look at my symptoms from last time and apart from the constipation (that was dietry induced!) i was just having period pain about now. On cd 18 I got mastitus, like sharp needles sticking in my boobs (very painful) and cd 19 I got 8 spots on my chin, so on the lookout for these signs!


Lily no doubt we got the same twinges and pains before. I can't even say I even slightly felt any period type pain mid month, never mind side pains, I'd remember it if I had cos I would be complaining I'm about to start! but i bet i did!

Gosh I'm so cold today, think i'm gonna go curl up on the sofa and do some stitching with a blankie over me. We've even got the heating on! Anyone else really feeling the cold? I'm normally in a vest and shorts, now i'm in a jumper and socks!

I'm doing some cross stitch abc, and 123 little pics in readiness!

my chart changed this morning after me putting my tenp in.... (see sig below for link). Now it says i ovulated on Tuesday but my CF has been very wet/stretchy/egg white all week. i have just read that it dries up quickly after OV. today CF is getting a little drier and sticky.

what do you think? will my chart change again?

I think it will change to CD11 as ovulation hun. You have to have 3 temps above your coverline and then it will probably shift the grid

Hi Lilly

I think you OV'd on CD11 too... I reckon your cover line is around 34.4 so your Sunday and Monday temps should be higher than this then it will move your day of OV.

I'm glad you came to join us!!!

[lilly]

thanks hun.. its doing me good to talk about it... there are lots of people out there in the same boat!

lets see how my temp go this weekend.

thanks for all the advise peeps!

 

[ejjie]

No probs, I've added your link too x

 

[lilly]

you lot are just so clever!!

i put my temp in today and CV. Hey presto it changed my OV day to CD11 instead of CD 8 just like you all said... woooo thats just where i wanted it too!!


maybe i am in for a chance this month.

 

[jo jo]

good luck lilly

 

[HollyHobby]

Bet thats a relief to you lilly!

My temps dont seem to be very impressive post ovulation, although if you turn it into farenheight it looks better, what do you guys think?

Someone said it looks like i didnt ovulate at all this month, but i have to discount that as i feel it so strongly, and if i'm not feeling ovulation what the heck am i feeling? And my opks I cant even go on considering they were recalled but they were getting stronger and darker - don't know what to think now.
Does it look like it could have been cd13 instead?

I feel like i've got flu now -I thought colds were 24 hour things, this is like over a week Do you think it could affect my temps so much?

I'm going to have a look through the pregnancy charts on ff and see if anyone had poor temps after ov.

ETA just looke dup low dose asprin and temperature, and it's used to... lower temprature!

Mrs Metal nice dip there, hope your going to get BD'ing just in case its ov

Ejjie, do you think your ovulating now on day 17?

Ive had my 2nd temp rise today so one more tomorrow and it will detect ovulation on day 18 for me

 

[Cori]

It's put me down for ovulation on day 13, but I usually ovulate on day 11 if my cycle is 24 days. If I do, will it change?

 

[jo jo]

I think thats just a guide for when it expects you to ovulate based on your last cycle, it wil only say you have oved after your dip and 3 rises.

It has highlighted CD1 for me but has not yet detected ov as i need 1 more higher temp and it will detect it as CD18

 

[ejjie]

I think CD18 for you Jojo...have you timed your BDing right?

I'm not sure about OV this month. I was sure I was down for OVing earlier as I got so much CM last week. I still have quite a bit, creamy but I've done an OPK every day and not had even a whiff of a +ve....very strange

I think that the Angus Cactus tablets are giving me headaches...I've been suffering really badly for 3 days now and seems to be worse about an hour after taking them. I've just taken some more now, if my headache comes back I'll have to stop taking them

Still no news from the fertility clinic I want my appointment through so I can start looking forward to it

Holly you oved on day 10 like me your what they call a 'slow riser' where your temp rises over a couple of days also it looks like a possible ib dip on day 15 and 16 good luck i hope i'm right i'll look at everyones charts when i get more time gotta run the kids to school now hope all is ok

 

[HollyHobby]

Morning everyone Is there such a thing as 'Chart Envy'? I found myself getting envious of charts last night with better temps than mine lol

Anna I hope youre right I've been worrying i didnt ovulatate since i was told it looked like i hadnt and i've got a tumor or something they missed in the scan! Slow riser describes me!

Anyway yesterday... tons of white creamy cm that I would only normally see right before af (usually my clue she's about to come) which I did have earlier than normal in July too, can't really go by my bbs anymore as I cant seem to lose the veins now - mild cramping on and off, feeling of being kicked in the ribs has worn off - all these get stronger on an evening.

Anyone else getting any symptoms???

Eejjoe if they are giving you a bad headache could you halve the dose?

We BD the night before. FF has not detected ov for me though.. anyone know why? im confused

 

[HollyHobby]

I think the early high temp might be throwing it off? Why are some white balls and not solid blue?

If I had to guess by temps I'd say ov was cd13 myself.

i personaly think your a slow riser so over the next few days your temp should start to go up

Hi Ladies, sorry I haven't posted much but have had the busiest few days, I'm knackered, want to take some holiday off work just to sleep but really I just need a good nights sleep and I'll be fine then.

Had my first acupuncture appointment last night, felt really good after. She reckons due to my age (38 in a few months) that it will take around 3 cycles for her to sort out my hormones and get everything flowing and working properly again. So fingers crossed it works, I'd rather get it sorted naturally than have to take lots of drugs from the doctors.

Jo Jo no bd'ing unfortunatly , no time and no energy, didn't get in til 1am last night and I'm knackered, hopefully we'll both be up for it tonight Maybe I should get us something aphrodisiac (sp?) for dinner I'd guess you ovulated on CD18 as well, if you discard the high temp on CD9 would fertility friend then give you ovulation on the CD18?

Has anyone heard from Andreaaa or is she still on holiday? Her temp is still above the coverline from last cycle

Holly, I know what you mean about chart envy your chart's looking good though, fingers crossed the temp stays above the coverline same for you as well Lilly

Sorry you haven't heard from the clinic yet Ejjie, hopefully your appointment will come through soon I haven't had any headaches from the agnus castus but it is a strong herb, if it's making you feel bad then that's not right, I'd stop taking it too if it gave me headaches or maybe go see a herbalist, see if they can work out the correct dose for you?

Looks like the rest of us are waiting for OV, not sure about my temp this morning, the acupuncturist did say it will go down after the treatment but I was so tired this morning while taking it I woke up 10 mins later and realised the thermometer was still in my mouth and my mouth was open so had to try again.

Wow what an essay
