Chartstalkers - October 08

[HollyHobby]

Just took my temp and 37.2, quietly excited as that was my temp i'd take on an evening - got all hot and thought i was going to come on there!
Wish our tongues turned blue or something as a definite sign

i can just see you sleeping there mrs M with your mouth open and thermometer sticking out - thats a good sign to your hubby that the time is right

that would be so much easier wouldn't it it must have been so frustrating trying to conceive before pregnancy tests, opks and thermometers!

Soo seductive

Hi Everyone

Jojo - I reckon you're a slow riser too. I think FF will pick up OV for you soon

Hols - your temps look fine to me I think some people have a bigger variation than others?

Mrs Metal/Hols - I've had a headache this morning but nothing since I took my last 2 doses so maybe it isn't connected after all...? I'll keep on watching it anyway. I've been through a whole bottle of Angus Cactus now so I'll have to invest in more. I was thinking about taking 1 tablet 3 times a day instead of 2 tablets twice a day to see if it would cut side effects. Weird though as I have been taking them for nearly a month now

I WANT TO OV NOW!!!!! Bloody irregular cycles - pah

 

[lilly]

hi peeps...

im on dpo5, my temp dipped at dpo 3 and now is rising. Does it mean anything good or am i just sweating in bed!!!! LOL

 

[HollyHobby]

lolly it looks like it's going the right way - up!

ejjie maybe you just needed to get used to the agnus stuff? although usually headaches come when you come off something - not been having less caffeine or anything?

I dont know whats going on with my chart, it's dipped again. I did read you have to take your temp before talking? I've got a rem disorder so i talk all night and jump about etc, i could have been out of bed an hour before waking up for all know, I just dont think i should put too much faith in my temps.

On a side note my pee was positivly dark and rusty today? Whats causing that? Oh lol, forget that i had betroot yesterday

i think i read low temps post ov could mean low progesterone, and i am on the cream even. very worrying.

Hi girls

Soooo much to catch up on! I havent been charting since my holiday as I was getting so obsessed it was costing me a fortune in ov tests and pg tests

I've decided to chill out about the whole thing and let it happen when its ready

Plus DH was getting so stressed out about the whole thing that I said we'd just stop trying for a little while so we could get back to being "us" which leads me on to a rather funny but sooooo embarrassing story...

We bd'd with a condom and it got lost! It wasn't on the bed or under the covers... so I went to the bathroom and had a feel to try and find it... it was so far up behind my cervix that I just couldnt reach it! Had to go in and tell him so he had a feel and he couldnt reach it either! After about half an hour we managed to get it Dont think I'll ever get over that!

We're going to stop using condoms now but like I've said I'm not going to be poas anymore or obsess about it all day every day

I'll still be popping in to check on you all and hope we all get our bfp very soon

Hi Ladies How is everyone today?

I'm anoyed today, usually I take my temp at 6am, quick glance at the reading then turn it off and go back to sleep, I then turn it on again when I'm getting ready and make a note of the temp to put onto fertility friend later. This morning I took the temp, put it back in it's case, I must have pressed the button again as it started beeping a few minutes later which wiped out my proper reading and I didn't notice my temp had been wiped until I'd been up for a while The reason it's so anoying is because I think I'll be ov'ing today or tomorrow so I wanted it to be acurate I vaguely remembered it was 35.94 but that could be completely wrong, I took the temp again when I noticed it was missing and it was 36.10 so I don't think the temp could have been higher than that.

Anyway the point of this essay was to ask your advice, I've put 35.94 into fertility friend and I've discarded it, do you think I should
a) leave 35.94 in as discarded,
b) put in the 36.10 with the later time so it does it with open circles, or
c) leave it as 35.94 but not discard it?
What do you all think? Cheers.

Sorry but it did make me laugh. Hopefully you'll both be able to chill out for a bit and the BFP comes along soon and unexpectedly

Just had a quick look at the charts and it seems most of us are still waiting for OV, Holly your chart looks good with temp staying high, fingers crossed it stays up, knowing you I'm guessing you testing already
Jo Jo still to early to say but good that your temps are staying up and Lilly a nice little dip there that could be an implantation dip, although come to think about it I'm not sure how early implantation can be but fingers crossed for you both

 

[HollyHobby]

LMAO andreas, how do you lose a condom up there? Is this what can happen after having kids? imagine if you had to go to a and e for it's removal

 

[HollyHobby]

mrs metal i've only officially tested the once s per my chart...... but between you and me 6 have been used

re your temp, i'd split the difference, say 36 straight?
Mines not as accurate as yours boo hoo!

Was just thinking though i should really clean mine - do you all clean yours? i suppose its my own early morning slaver though

 

[HollyHobby]

Anyway... yesterday really strong bad period pain, was tempted to buy some pads I'm hoping its a good sign as i had that before, but i dont feel lucky this month.
But my temp spiked up a bit today after yesterdays af pains - still got them today but no where near as strong.

going to buy 50 ov and 50 pregnancy tests soon if come on for less than £20. 50 tests normally costs me £50 so its a great saving.

I overode my 19th August chart just incase anyone looks and notices its different.

Jojo nopticed you got your ov line the other day

 

[mrs_metal]

mrs metal i've only officially tested the once s per my chart...... but between you and me 6 have been used

I won't ask the result yet, especially as it's so early but I've got my fingers crossed for you

re your temp, i'd split the difference, say 36 straight?
Mines not as accurate as yours boo hoo!

Good idea, I'll split the difference, if I think about it it's only 0.16 difference anyway

Was just thinking though i should really clean mine - do you all clean yours? i suppose its my own early morning slaver though

I don't bother, as you say it's only my spit, think I might clean it every couple of weeks or something

I've just started getting the most awful ovulation cramps on both sides, how am I supposed to seduce DH tonight if it hurts this much!

 

[HollyHobby]

Results were all bfn's - hence why i'm not hopeful this month. I knew cd 20 last time, and just 'knew'.

Gosh I know why do we get awful pain when we're meant to be at our sexiest? I'll be honest I'm only good for 2 'goes' then i grit my teeth and bare it all for a good cause though i suppose!
Lol the things we share on this site

HOLLY HOBBY i'm going to lock you up!! you know what i think 6 tests!!

Andreaaa that sounds very embarrasing with the condom good luck i hope the more relaxed approach gives you a BFP x

Hi Mrs metal hope you manage to BD great signs having those cramps, i see you getting used to the temping lark!!

lily i would say 3dpo is a bit early for an implantation dip but it can happen i guess - good luck xx

ejjie any sign of ovulation for you hun?

jo jo any news?

hi to you all and good luck i am on day 17 so still got 11 days or so to ovulate gonna start taking the magic medicine on day 22 i think just a swig twice a day to see if i can get that BFP.

 

[jo jo]

Holly, yes i got my ov line, good job i was starting to worry x

Hi Rusks, im 5 DPO now and getting cramps again like last month, had backache too today so im praying but not that hopeful we didnt BD on the day i ovulated again..gutted, i feel like its another wasted month

Good luck to everyone else. i really hope we get a BFP on chartstalkers this month

 

[HollyHobby]

came on to tell you something but rusks is about eek! shall i risk it??
did a 25mlu test at tea time (these were 3 for £1 so i am allowed to use these ones, hubby isnt hiding the cheap ones ) and i got a very very very very faint line, you know the kind where you have to have the light hit it just right and to the untrained eye it's blank...so did another with next pee and the same but even fainter. Hubby can see it too so it's not me imagining it, but is it real?
I've only got one 10mlu test in which i'm saving till testing day, but if its true and i have got a real line on a 25mlu then i'll be so relieved as it took a week after i was due to show up at all on a 25 last time.
The only thing I'm worried about is evaps and false positives on cheapies, we see so many lately and i dont trust my ''symptoms'' after last month.
Anyway going to do another 25mlu in the morning and see what it says, i think i'll be 12 or 13dpo today.

 

[HollyHobby]

jojo is the green box for bd? if you did it on the highlighted cm days then youre still in with an excellent chance

 

[HollyHobby]

for a sticky this time.

<---a dear 10mlu test and a definite, just isnt photographing too well, got another very faint line on a 25 so said we'll know for sure on a 10mlu. I hope my prog. cream and asprin does the trick.

 

[jo jo]

jojo is the green box for bd? if you did it on the highlighted cm days then youre still in with an excellent chance

Hi Holly

The green box is highlighted because its the day i oved last cycle. i think it was expecting me to ov on that day. We BD on CD 17 and CD15 and i oved on CD18 so im hoping there is a good chance.

Congrats to you though.. Really pleased for you

 

[HollyHobby]

Fingers crossed for you jojo, they do say if you do it a day before it's more likely a girl!!! I dont think theres much in it doing it just before ov or on ov day... still getting those af pains?
