I am! but its not showing to plan lol!

and lol lindyloo yes you won bronze!!
**Mel**
CJ-N, nice looking temps - FX they stay high

Lindyloo - your chart is like mine, boring wink.gif LOL

ETA: my temp today after AF is quite high compared to last two cycles - was wearing flanny pj's (yeah, I know, will switch to the sexy stuff at O time LOL). How much would winter pj's affect temps, do you think? I vag temp.

ETAAgain - from last thread: pinkblue, your chart looks great - will be stalking for your BFP!

Do you think so?? I have really no idea what I'm meant to be looking for! I guess my temps just need to stay high?

I'm glad I've found this group original.gif I think I'll be staying around until I get that much wanted BFP!!
**Mel**
Hi pinkblue - 'cos I am lazy, can you put your chart link in your sig? Then we don't have to search for it to stalk you! biggrin.gif

me too original.gif glad I found it, and am going to stay.

will go and put my chart in my sig, for any interested stalkers.

I was thinking of putting up my three old ones when I did get the much awaited BFP. I have kept them and cherished them. wub.gif Do you think it's worth putting them on FF, do you think other ttc charters would be interested in them, or are they just a personal treasure?

dreamingofhope
Thanks mel !! I hope they look ok, this is my first chart. I was wondering about that too.. I wonder how much by..?

pinkblue oo link it link it i want to see too :-D

meg1000 yay for more charts :-D!!

Hi Meg, yeah stick your BFP charts on FF. It's always good to compare biggrin.gif

Chocolate Mousse
ok, so my chart is in my sig now too original.gif but there's nothing exciting happening right now.

I was having a play with FF today, I love that feature where they predict your fertile days for the next two months. It kind of makes it all the more exciting or something. Like, I'm going hhhhmmmm, a Saturday night hey cool.gif the mind starts to plan wwhistle.gif

Curious.chicken
Looking good CJ-N!

Chucking myself in here as well. Late O this month and FF is still a little unsure. Got some OPK's this month but only tried one so have a random negative one in there.

I thought I O'd Thursday, but FF is calling a bit later. Open circles are because I was up at 6am rather than 7.

Fi_80
Looking good CJ-N and pinkblue, fingers crossed for you both!

Afm, still waiting to O starting to think that I might never see a positive opk sad.gif

Beani
Not happy with my chart at all sick.gif
bebe'
WOW you guys talked so much that they had to start another thread for us laugh.gif

Curious - Hi welcome, its a bit late for you to O, but it looks about right wink.gif Ive just started a new cycle so Ill come join you in April is my month

Beanie - yep looking crazy, lets hope thats a good thing wink.gif

Fi - it looks like you may pop an eggy soon, get a ride on the doodle express & keep taking rides for the next few days grin.gif are you POAS (opk's)? what are they indicating? Id say you temp will drop below that CL in the next few days

Thanks for adding your FF charts to your sigs girls, it makes it a whole heap easier to catch up, when a new thread stats or we get a fair few pages going.

I'd like to be stalked please original.gif
I'm clearing outsome baby unfriendly medication from my body, so we won't be TTC until May, but I thought starting to chart now would be useful. I went off the OCP last month.
My chart's not very interesting yet though Tounge1.gif
bebe'
pinkblue - just stalked you, looking very promising. you could also be 11DPO you may have O'd the day before FF has you wink.gif When will you test?
This'll be one to stalk girls

mel - how did you fair up after you bubbles episode laughing2.gif
Fi_80
bebe' - I've been POAS since CD 7 (recently twice a day) and they have all been negative. The stongest they have got is about 50% of the control line so definately negative.

I tested this morning (not FMU) and it was about 50% of the control line. I also had ewcm this morning and I'm having what I think are O pains, so despite what the OPKs are saying, I'm hoping that I am about to O.

Does anyone know how common it is for OPKs not to work for some people? It's doing my head in sad.gif
Onyx
Fi - Don't give up - based on your chart, I do think O is coming!
Try and test twice a day, so you don't miss the surge.
When I was on clomid I O'd around ay 17/18, and off clomid I O reallllly late, so just be patient (hard I know!)

good luck original.gif

when do you mean crash, which CD? do you mean when you had the first few days of fertile CM and then temp went up, and down again?

My DS was conceived on a cycle like that. I'll have to put it up asap, I didn't end up Oing until CD 29 or something......
dreamingofhope
I am out..

Got bad news this morning, then went to the loo and more bad news! AF arrived.. 10 months now :'-(

Im going to go gorge in chocolate

Beani
Usually my after O temps stay high but today and yesterday they have been dropping and today was even under the cover line until after I overrid the coverline, normally my temp only drops like that when AF is about to start so it naturally causes feelings of sadness but I guess I just gotta keep in mind that it's too early to be AF and might be just a very long implantation dip or something. The joys if the tww.
Beani
bbighug.gif CJ-N, was looking so promising too sad.gif
Fi_80
Thanks Onyx, I hope it is coming soon. I don't think I can stand too many more negatives and I'm almost out of OPKs.

CJ-N - I'm sorry to hear AF has arrived, chocolate sounds like a very good idea bbighug.gif
Beani
- It does appear to have happened at the right time to be implantation, fingers crossed for you.
Chocolate Mousse
Oh CJ-N sad.gif hhugs.gif bbighug.gif hhugs.gif thank god for chocolate, good idea.

Sending you lots of fertile baby dust vibes.

pinkblue time to start peeing on things
chart could not be more textbook
Chocolate Mousse
is Pinkblue's chart an example of a 'triphasic' chart? ie it's gone up again for three consecutive days? (I'm pretty sure it's a really good sign of pg)

I can see the - test, but test again on 12dpo yyes.gif

Thanks girls. My chart is looking very promising. It does feel exactly like AF is coming though so who knows shrug.gif I'm pretty much expecting her to turn up any minute. I keep going to the toilet thinking she's arrived but it's just creamy CM. I've had a backache today and some mild cramping so it just feels like she is on her way! I tested this morning with FMU and got a BFN.gif . AF is meant to be due either today or tomorrow so if she hasn't turned up tomorrow I'll test again on Wednesday. That will make me 12 DPO.

Yep, FF says my chart shows a possible triphasic pattern on CD28. I didn't even know what a triphasic pattern was until it FF indicated it on my chart. This is my first month of charting all cycle.

hello lovely ladies can I join in on the stalk or be stalked fun.

My chart is in my sig.

Pinkblue your chart is looking really promising.
Chocolate Mousse
the only time any of my charts ever went triphasic was when I was pg cool.gif with #1 and then later with the others, but it was later in the cycle. I know it's also possible to have a triphasic pattern and not be pg too rolleyes.gif I googled it and it said that although you can still not be pg, it's still a good indication of pg, than not pg wink.gif

HappyWomble
Hello Girls! Can I join? My chart is in my sig. I've been TTC for quite some time now. Am in the 2WW so entering crazy land... ;D

I hope so! Although it still feels like AF is coming so who knows shrug.gif

jewels1970 - your chart is looking great also! original.gif
Chocolate Mousse
ok, I put my three BFP charts up on my FF in case anyone is interested (and also for fun happy.gif ). Of course they were my pride and joy cool.gif , I put them there, because I know I always like to see what a pg chart looks like and compare every dip and pattern etc. when ttc. They are quite different though.



bebe'
God you girls can talk wink.gif
Its so hard to catch up on everything
Fi - I noticed you say you had POAS FMU OPK, its better to wait till you have been awake for at least a few hours. I test at lunch time & then 3or4 & if its almost + I test again at 6or7 wink.gif
GL
pinkblue - noice triphasic wink.gif

Welcome newbies - hope your stay is short & sweet rolleyes.gif

Stalk stalk talk girls

Meg1000 - those pregancy charts are lovely!

Pinkblue - my temps took a dive today - either I was a bit chilly this morning, or maybe, just maybe, it was an implantation dip????

Having a look over this thread there are a lot of ladies I haven't seen before, so a big HELLO to you! And hello Jorgo!!
pinkblue
My temperature dropped this morning sad.gif I'm guessing that's not a good sign?

Nope, I didn't POAS this morning. It has felt like AF is coming for the last 2 days so I wanted to wait until at least Wednesday to test again. AF is due today.

If AF does arrive today, that will make my LP 10 days. Is that long enough?
**Mel**
morning all,

my temps are playing silly buggers, so very hard to read. Am only on day 7 anyway, will probably not O till Tuesday, and then the real stalking of mine can begin!

But, looking at everyone elses...

Gosh, Bebe', that was a bit of a temp spike this morning for you? Any idea what caused it?

pinkblue, not a bad drop though, still well above the coverline. Could still be in with a chance. FX for you.

jewels, too early for AF for you, so maybe implantation? Why the open circle?

Meg, beautiful pregnancy charts! What DPO did you get your BFP with each baby?

rose.corkran, looks like you are leading up to O. Sort of similar to some of your other charts with an early dip.

Fi, I hope you detect O soon! The wait leading to O is the worst for me!

Beani, nice bounce back for your temps today!

CJ-N, sorry that AF came sad.gif Bebe' and I have a pact to join a DIG together - you can join with us! wink.gif

Well, enjoy your Tuesdays!
