[rusks]

good luck all sounds like lots of you are coming up to OV so get bding

interesting you have more CM without the magic medicine ejjie hope its a good sign

Any news Andreaaa?

mrs metal i am like you feel positive leading up to OV then get depressed in the 2ww when i think AF is on the way!!

Hope you feel better soon Hollyhobby xx

 

[mrs_metal]

go for it Jo Jo

I'm hoping I don't ov until next week as we're soo busy this weekend we'll have no time let alone energy for any bd'ing!

 

[jo jo]

We didnt BD last night.

We did the day before though but im not sure if i have ovulated yet, my temps have not dropped today

 

[HollyHobby]

jojo i dont think it puts an ovulation line if you miss a temp, but it looks possibly around cd13/14? what do you think?

I've given my hubby all my hpk's to hide as I did one last night Left it on the kitchen table (as you do) and he was going to throw it out today but he saw a line and he was all smiles -I've studied it and it is an indent off my nail I'm not going to say anything though as he looked happy.

How is everyone? I'm feeling quite sick, but sore throat clearing up - should have joined the magic medicine thread and avoided it!

 

[jo jo]

hi holly

i dont think it was because i didnt get ewcm untill cd 15

 

[welshpolly]

Hi everyone!

I see some names are missing - I hope this means there's been BFPs whilst I've not been here

I haven't been taking my temp this last month as it's been so awkward! I am starting again this month hopefully but with no internet access I am having to write it down and add to my chart when I can!

I hope everyone is doing ok

I've just started the 4th round of clomid and we're praying that this will be the month.

Take care and lots of babydust
Love Pol x

jojo your temp went way high cd 10! do you think thats confusing the chart? Plus a missing temp? By the ewcm it looks like you should have ov'd then but your temps arent going up yet.
Not got a cold have you? I think it can play havoc with bbt's personally. Or taking some meds?
I'm taking progesterone and asprin so mine could be bit false plus a cold.

The rotten thing about those charts is it tells you when you ov'd 4 days afterwards, could be a bit late knowing by then! (i know it cant predict though lol).

Hi welsh pony. There were lots of bfps in september
Good luck to you!

Hi Everybody

Jojo - your chart looks a bit confusing did you do anything out of the ordinary the last few days - like have a few drinks or take your temp at a different time? It's just from your EWCM and OPKs it looks like OV should have been Thursday or Friday doesn't it? Very strange! Just keep on BDing!!!!

Hols - you're in your 2WW now apart from the clit thing you got any more symptoms???

Welshpolly - Yay you're back I bet ALL of us are different since last time you charted? I think there's beenn some BFPs. From you're prediction it sounds like this is your month... babydust to you xxx

Rusks - I can't believe how much CM I've got now. I'm sure it's only a normal amount but considering how little I had before it's really impressive! I get excited every time I wipe (TMI ) I did get more than before when I was taking the magic medicine but this is twice as much as that! I've read that the pill can clog up your CM and it takes a while for it to start coming which sounds like me, it's been over 6 months off the pill now...

Anyone able to look at my chart? I wonder if I OV'd on Thursday but I haven't even had a whiff of a line on an OPK (testing once a day but even if I don't catch the surge I usually still get faint lines)

I've been taking Angus Cactus for about a month now and I think I'm in line for a more normal cycle this month, if I OV today/tomorrow it would be a 29 or 30 day cycle!!!! I would be one happy lady if that happened

 

[jo jo]

Holly ive had a cold for about a week now. The day my temp went really high my cold 1st came on and i had not had 3 hours sleep because jess was ill too i had been up ad dwn all night to her so i think thats why it is high

I had ov pain yesterday evening and a pos OPK so i think i might just be ovulating late this month, its my 2nd month off the pill. It dropped a little today, after doing my temp at 7am i had another 3 hours sleep and when i woke up at 10 it had shop up to 36.62 so im hoping i have oved and tomorrow ill see a nice rise

 

[jo jo]

Hi Ellie

No ive not been doing anything different, its really annoying me... I'm praying for a rise tomorrow

I looked at your chart earlier and thought you may have oved on CD13 too. Hope you caught it

 

[ejjie]

Don't think we did enough BDing around that time but I suppose it only takes once! It's good enough for me though if I'm getting some shorter cycles

The next few temps will answer your question about OV. Did you get enough BD'ing in do you think? xxx

 

[HollyHobby]

eejjie it looks like thursday 2nd maybe for you.
I'm no expert deciphering these charts though, I'm looking to you for that job
And whoohoo on your copious cm! It might just be youre returning back to normal. I'm glad i never took the pill for years now after what i read about it, and never took it for long periods of time as it affected my moods too much.

How brave to pick up on the clit thing well yes have had some symptoms but i did too last month, ie: veiny boobs (looks like once you get them youre stuck with them!) and did have pains under my ribs last night (when got a bfp i had a major rib tugging), period twinges that felt like burning, boobs were very very sore also felt sick as a dog but I've got cold so I don't know whats real or not.
Oh and i had some near centre twinges which was something new low down.
I'm waiting for a massive break out on my chin as that was a sign last time.
I don't think I have any real feelings one way or the other just yet. Not getting my hopes up anyway.

If I'm not then something is going on when i ovulate on the left that needs sorting out (prolly the 2 cysts) as everything is more intense than the right side.

 

[HollyHobby]

jojo does sound like cold and stress affecting it this month - still you can still catch that egg though!

 

[ejjie]

I think you'll catch again really quick Hols, you're obviously very fertile cos it was first month last time wasn't it?! I think October's your month Like you say though if your symptoms aren't as strong OV from the left it could be worth checking it out. I didn't notice OV pain last cycle and I haven't really had it this cycle so I wonder if that's something to do with which side I OV from...

 

[HollyHobby]

well, first ''official'' time, and you cant even really call it succesfull in the end. Years ago could have easily got pregnant but i never did, but i was carrying an extra 5 stone. We kind of thought one/both of us couldnt but I think it was down to my weight, which in hindside was probbaly just as well, time wasnt right.
My ov on the left is far stronger than the right and goes on forever - last month all i got on the right was a few little noticeable pains - the left burns almost and goes on and on with no let up.
but before ttc i never a felt a thing at all!

I wonder why it is when ttc you suddenly feel everything. I would get period pain a day or 2 before she'd start, then feel nothing for another month!

 

[jo jo]

Don't think we did enough BDing around that time but I suppose it only takes once! It's good enough for me though if I'm getting some shorter cycles

The next few temps will answer your question about OV. Did you get enough BD'ing in do you think? xxx

I know its great news about your shorter cycles and the CM.

I hope we have done enough BD'ing. We have been trying to do it every other day, but as i had ov pains last night and lower temp this morning and just had some stretchy CM will make sure we do it tonight too.

i totally agree with that one!! funny how you just shrug these things off untill you really know what they are! i must have had OV pains but never thought much of it! LOL
