ETA it's me, Meg, I just changed my name coz I felt like some......

Silver!!!

I'm stalking, but am crap at personals. Am starting to freak out about HSG this Thursday, then IUI maybe Sunday!

Good luck to everyone in the 2WW. To all the ladies in the boring phase - ride the doodle train, as bebe would say (I'm pretty sure I got that right).

(.y.) boobies! Oops and lobsided too haha.

I am But not charting this month.. well.. not much anyway
Goooodluck Ladies!

jewels1970: I recently had a HSG and happy to share my experiences if you are worried about what to expect.

katski - my FS said I had a very small hole in my cervix and it'll hurt like hell Take 2 naprogesics and 2 scotches... then I follow it up a few days later with another cervix bashing - IUI. I hope it all works.

oh jewels1970, that doesnt sound very pleasant at all Good luck with it and I hope its not too unpleasant

jewels - that sounds pretty awful fingers and toes crossed that you won't have to have any more invasive procedures after that IUI

I filled in the other temps I have, and its not looking good for me

mel - how long are your cycles normally? how long until you expect AF? You could end up leveling out or rising again...

jewels, my cycles are anywhere from 26 - 31 days. AF is due this thursday, friday at the latest.

But its only been 7 wks since DH had his vasectomy reversal, so realistically it'll probably be a BFN this cycle.

Hmmm... well you have plenty of time for your temps to come good. What did the doctor say about how long it'd take for DH's swimmers to be back in action?

Hi girls,

Sorry I have been MIA. I have been stalking all your charts but haven't been posting as not much is really happening with my own chart atm. I'm sure I'll be posting a lot more in the 2WW

I still have about 8 days until I'm due to ovulate so I'm just waiting, waiting...

I found out today that one of my friends is also TTC their first bub so that's pretty exciting. I'm hoping it happens soon for borth of us so we can have our bubs around the same time

jewels - there was a lady in my buddy group, whose DH went with the same surgeon, and had a low count at 6 weeks post-op. But the surgeon told us it could take upto 18 months before the count is at its best. So a real big help LOL. I think it all depends really, and DH had his vas nearly 9 years prior, so the chances of pregnancy are lowered.


pinkblue

mel - hmm... not very helpful on the DH side of things, but on the up side - yay for your temps going up!

Hello pinkblue!

AFM - had scan today: 3 follicles. Have to start injecting puregon and taking mini aspirin. Also had blood taken for hormone levels. More bloods on Thursday. HSG also on Thursday and back in to the FS on Friday for scans to see how the follicles are (assuming HSG doesn't show tubes blocked). Then I'll be getting an IUI some time after that. Busy week!

huge temp rise on Sunday Meg! What's today's like?

Nice temp rise today mel43

Best of luck for the tests jewels1970

Welcome back pinkblue

AFM - 9 dpo today and my chart is looking good so far. Waiting for the inevitible crash

just in to say Hi & show my face in our yet again new thread

BBL for personals

Fi - Im feeling a bit the same way today. Just waiting for AF now
bit emotional about it all today
Oh well

Mel43- still looking good

bebe'

Thought I'd better jump in on the new thread...

I'm either 17DPO per FF suggestion of O or 11 DPO going off jorgo's suggestion of possible O on Cd25ish.

Still not sure, too scared to test, trying to hold out till Friday !

Hi Ladies!
I started a thread in the Charting section (below) would some of you mind checking out my chart and telling em what you think please?

My Thread...

Thanks Fi, temps still low today. I didn't expect that I'd O'd that early. My body usually stuggles for a while to O. I discarded that high temp, as I'd been up and down all night with my 2 year old. I didn't has even 3 hours straight sleep. That's what was upsetting me the most all night, that I couldn't take an accurate temp

9 dpo hey when do you test? Or do you wait.....?

Meg, I'm really impatient so I would be the type to test early, however I know we didn't BD at the right times this month (BD was 5-6 days before O) so I'm going to save the test

Stained - had a look at your thread & chart
You really do need to get enough courage together & just POAS
GL babe

Fi - thanks for the huggles

Chocolate Mousse - I am 9DPO today aswell & true to my usual form have POAS already BFN but it prob wont stop me starting the POAS action again by say Wed
Only do it, if you can handle a BFN GL x

Mel43 - your chart is looking good!!

bebe & Fi-80 - FX for a

Jewel - waiting to O, would have to be the most frustrating and boring time of the cycle.

ASM - I'm on the doodle train and getting ready to catch the eggy!! Oh eggy please meet spermy!! and make

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good weekend!

Lindyloo, have fun on the train - toot, toot!

Bebe' yep, a bit early hon! You know my fingers are crossed for you though

Fi, lovely high temps. I really hope you did somehow catch that egg!

Meg, you must be close to O though, with all that fertile cm. Good luck

Stained, I am with the others with your chart - ie very confused! LOL I certainly don't think you O'd on day 32 and yeah, we would all know one way or the other if you had your early cycle temps. I am another, where those post-O temps would equal pregnancy to me - but there are plenty of charts around with higher temps so that alone doesn't mean much. Good luck, hon. Hope AF comes soon for you.

jewels, good luck with your tests later this week!

Mel43, your temps are looking nice. GL

pinkblue, interesting temp rise today. Any reason do you think? Are you OPKing?

Well, 6DPO here, temps are doing all the right things. Boring boring boring LOL

jewels - good luck with all your tests this week. do something nice for yourself when its all over

Fi - your chart does look good, and sperm have been known to survive for 5-6 days, so its not over for this month.

bebe yep, too early hun. Theres still hope for your BFP this month

monkeymum - good luck for friday!

stained - sorry can't help with your chart, but hoping for your sake that its a BFN for now

lindyloo - good luck and have fun catching that eggy

Mel - all this waiting ..it drives you nuts hey lol. I hope this next week flies by for you.

AFM - I finally have a possible EPS! I realised today that I've been extremely absent minded the past few days. In true brain fog style, I can't remember what the other things that I've been forgetting were but in the past 2 or 3 days I've left the hotplate or grill on 3 times! I left the hotplate on ALL NIGHT last night and then after I made DD2 grilled cheese today, I left the grill on.. even after telling myself "must. not. leave. grill. on."
My mum said that the first time she noticed that I might be pregnant with DD1, was because I was so "vague" .. trying very hard not to get my hopes up now

bebe i'd like to see a temp rise for you tomorow
other then that my mouth is shut tight

jewels meant to say before but i think tis so odd that they are hsging you on an induced cycle- nothing specific but i thought they didnt investigate or i should sya they didnt OI in an investigation cycle

Hi everyone

My chart was going along well but I think I am out now.. spotting today. I went to the doctor this afternoon to talk about my short luteal phase, and she is sending me for blood tests including 19 day progesterone. I asked her if it matters if I haven't yet ovulated at day 19 and she said it doesn't.. but surely my day 19 prog levels would be much higher if I ovulated on day 14, than they would be if I was yet to ovulate??
I have been taking B6 for the last 2 cycles so I am disappointed to see this one short again.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks!

to begin with i've never heard of a "day 19 prog test"
its pretty much referred to as a day 21 test ( which really should be called a '7 days after you ovulate' test)

so yes it would really matter when you ovulated if what she's checking is your progesterone level in your LP to see if its high enough and if you have ovulated "properly"

yeah i'd say ask for a referal to an FS ( an actual fs not a gyn) due to your suspected LP issue as the FS would actually know what their on about ( well should)

hello ladies, hope you all had great weekends and that we have a few BFPs soon.

Can I ask for your opinions on what my chart is doing as it seems different this month to most of my other months.

Maybe two eggs with two separate implantation dips

OrangeCat - Your temps are still quite high, I wouldn't count yourself out just yet. Also, if it makes you feel any better, I'm on my third cycle since stopping the pill and your cycles look MUCH better than mine have so far.

The first cycle I didn't O at all and based on what I know from charting this cycle, I had a LP of only 3-4 days in the second cycle (if I did O at all). This is the third cycle and its looking better but it was a long one.

I think it just takes a while for your body to go back to normal after stopping the pill.

Thanks Jorgo and Fi_80... yeah I am thinking (hoping) it is just my body adjusting to being on the pill. I might still go and get my tests done - maybe the doctor was confused, she has written on the test form 'day 19 preg'.. and she was talking about progesterone levels, so I am assuming that is what she meant.
Doesn't make sense though as Jorgo said so I will have to call her.
Thanks again, TTC makes me crazy and anxious!!!

I'm not OPKing yet. I was going to start testing starting tomorrow. The past 2 cycles that I have been using OPK I have O'd on CD19 & then CD21. I'm on CD12 atm. I doubt I have O'd early.

This morning I woke up feeling quite hot. I wore winter pjs to bed so maybe that's why my temperature was higher. I also felt a bit off all day with a bit of nausea. DH has been sick with a gastro bug at the end of last week so maybe I'm just a little unwell today hence the high temp?

Lindy-loo, me too, am on the doodle train, toot too back at ya waves from the other track I'm thinking I might have O'd today....


I was thinking about you all last night while lying on my back for my usual gravity thing and wondering if you do somthing similar.

I make sure I always help gravity by staying on my back for at least an hour afterwards, preferably all night. And I visualise a little swimmer, magically entering the egg

Just wondering if anyone else does anything like that? or am I asking for TMI, I thought we share CM, what's more personal that that

for me i'd say it was one inplant and one usual hormone surge dip
eta- should say the other way around - hormone dip then implant
looking good BGM

Ha ha Meg. I stay in bed for at least an hour instead of getting up to go to the loo/clean up!

And, yeah, we share many TMI things on here - I don't think anything is off limits LOL

Right back at you Meg - toot toot!!

After we DTD I lie on my back for about an hour, I should try the bicycle legs!! He He!!

Actually I might try that tonight LOL

Orangecat - your chart looks good, temps are pretty high.

I just can't wait to see some BFP's in here, who's next to test isn't it Mel43? When are you going to test? Bebe, are you going to test on Wednesday? Who else and when please?

I have to wait at least another two weeks .....

Meg/Chocolate I do it too! I put a little pillow there and just hang out for an hour, min of 20 mins.. I tried bum on wall, doing a handstand pretty much.. lol..
Tried bycycle legs once but found it pushes it out.. .

I got a pos OPK today so I am ovulating today, tomorrow, mb next. Yay for cycle buddies!!

lol you guys do know they've studied it and proved it doesnt actually help and depending on the shape of your cervix/uterus can actually be NOT helpful right?

really? I wonder how it can be unhelpful? It just seems crazy to stand up, go to the toilet etc, and lose it all

apparently depending on shapes you can force the swimmers past where they need to be ( therefore not get picked up by the eggy) and/or encourage it to fertilise/implant in the wrong place ( eg an ectopic)

... just sayin not sayin you need to take my word as gospel lol

does anyone know why FF would say that I'm probably not fertile?

It's got it under 'stats'.

maybe because there are no fertility signs (temp, cm etc) on your chart and you are passed your 'average' fertility days?

ETA - it means you are probably not fertile today, not that you are overall not fertile

lol meg it doesnt mean you cant get pg just that your average monthly window of fertility isnt now

and cant see all your stats cause you ahve them set to private ( or you dont have a VIP membership)

yay bebe you went back up doesnt look bad actually

and BGM! ummm yours testing with cheapies from now arent you ? three days after the second dip.... mmmhmmm IC time!

Umm Jorgo can you stalk me.. Is my chart showing a hormonal dip and then an implant dip


please.....please......

ETA - aahh, so the 4DPO temp dip is called a Corpus Luteum Dip and is no indication of anything much at all! (have been googling)

Just out of interest, is this a general charting rule jorgo? i.e. pg charts tend to show two dips - hormone and imp. - followed by a rise? There is so much to learn about charting

Fingers crossed for you BGM!

nope its not a rule
but when there is a dip and a sustained rise straight after it ( and you dont tend towards a rise after the dip) then its looking good

double dips just make you look twice and look hard at a chart lol and then comeback everyday and keep looking lol


yes mel dpo 4 is about right for the hormone dip


anything later is interesting especially if you have had your hormone dip

and i cant tell you bout your second dip till we see some temp directions for the next 2-3 days
but your chart history shows your lp isnt smooth so its not as easily indicative for you
