Laura, you are such a sweet person!

Gawww, now you're making me blush heheh You are also awesome

To be honest I am actually starting to really feel like I fit in here and that people might actually remember me now I'm starting to not feel like the newbie. I always assume I'm not memorable so it's a nice feeling to know I can come here xx

Got another BFN today. AF not due til wednesday/thursday but I put today as my testing day so guess I'm out.

So..when we weren't TTC my charts lined up beautifully, but now that we are TTC it's just not syncing. This is the second time now, that my charts (FF and Ovagraph) aren't agreeing on the O date. I tend to side with FF on this one, I just don't understand how Ovagraph based my O date on CD17. What do you guys think?

I have no idea where I am.

**Note: just click on the images to enlarge them, thank you

FINALLY! With today's dismal temp both my apps have agreed that O took place on CD21 placing me at 4dpo today.

I still don't hold much hope for this cycle because we weren't able to bd at my most fertile time, ideally it would have been best if we did it from CD20 to CD22, but hey, next cycle. DH also has some fertilaid supplements for the next cycle, which he started taking last night already, and I got myself the Ovaboost and FertileCM to boot.

You might also just have a shy little bean hun... we'll just wait for the eh? Not over until she rears her ugly face, until then I'm keeping my FX. How is your temps looking? Mine is so low, it's barely keeping afloat above my cover line which is not normal for me. I should be well into the 37's now and I'm still struggling to make it to 36.9

I wonder why your temp is so low...that's odd. What CD are you on? Mine is slowly creeping up but nothing unusual. A little higher than this time last cycle. Getting lots of AF type pain. But not stressed premenstrual...weirdly calm.

Will you be testing again Maybe it's too early hehe xx

 

[JemRose]

AF due tomorrow, still got my fingers and toes and everything crossed. But I'm sure she'll make her grand entrance at some point tomorrow why is it soooo hard. Kinda just want her to hurry up and show to stop the torture!!

Oh my gosh LuckyLaura, 7 day cycles and maybe like a 2 month pregnancy - that would be amazing! I hate waiting too!

I'm on CD25, if I look at my previous charts then at 4dpo I'm either into the 37s or at least touching it at a luke warm 36.95. Lol. The joys of trying to figure out what the heck is going on. It might be the fact that one of my stitches has become a bit infected (long story, there was trauma to the wound and it started to bleed below the skin and the stitches couldn't hold it together blah blah blah) but logically my temp should then go up ...

Oh hun, I am in knots that's how crossed up I am for you that you will have your bfp this cycle! I can't bear the thought of another negative for you

 

[MrsLK2017]

Well the brown stuff has got darker so think AF will be making an appearance tomorrow, doesn't normally arrive like this though. Am hoping this will give things a good clearout so won't get any spotting or random brown stuff (sorry if tmi)

Really hope lots of you get your BFP's soon, due to having slightly longer and irregular length cycles don't think i'll be testing til nov seems like ages!!

Oh no, hon...do you need to get the stitches looked at? Maybe if your body is struggling the temp is low. You might need antibiotics...in which case make sure they are pregnancy friendly.

I'm ok...it's the first cycle of trying AI and I've only been a healthy BMI for maybe 6 months...I was massively overweight before because of meds I was on (I lost 9 stone!) so maybe it's gonna take longer for me. We're not so stressed now we are doing AI...and I don't think we ever managed to time it great before. DH is going to get a sperm test too (although now I think he's dragging his heels!!).

I just looked up infection and it can cause low temps.. What is yr temp at?

 

[KatD]

Ugh so sorry to hear that hun. On the bright side, AF hasn't arrived yet and the blood is brown which is a good sign...I'm still keeping my FX for a bfp for you!

This morning it was 36.88. I spent half the day at the hospital Yesterday, I saw both a doctor and the wound nurse and they just said to clean it and put ointment on it. The doctor said that if it goes really red around it then I should make another appointment, he'll consider antibiotics then. So far, it's been ok, obviously it's not comfortable but at least it's not red. I have made another appointment with him for Thursday so that he can have another look at it before my arm falls off hahaha

I think the AI is going to work a lot better, it takes SO much pressure off and on that alone I think your chances more than double. I am just so pleased that you are making headway in this whole TTC fiasco. xxxxxxx

Glad they are keeping an eye on it. My temps are 36.4 top end and 35.5 bottom end weirdly. Don't forget the weather is colder...could be that too.

yeah AI is great...I would recommend anyone struggling with the stress of it all to try it. My DH is much more relaxed generally. Hope your thing heals and that your arm doesn't drop off! xxxxxx

Today's the day ... the fear every time I go to the toilet that I'm going to see blood. Hate the anxiety waiting for AF brings!! Nothing so far, feel completely normal, not a psycho like normal. Plus normally my boobs are swollen and sore a week before AF and nothing so far, don't know if that's a good sign or not?! No AF symptoms whatsoever apart from mild cramping since Saturday .. so confused!!
