    Thanks! I thought so too! However I'm very aware that anyday now my temp may take a nose dive and let me know the witch is on her way!

    • just track the length of my cycle;
    • track the length of my cycle and do OPK's
    • track the length of my cycle, do OPK's and temp
    Perhaps one of the last two?

    I do the last one when I'm away from DH:o

    I'm in two minds about whether to bother tracking anything until I can actually TTC. My options are:
    • just track the length of my cycle;
    • track the length of my cycle and do OPK's
    • track the length of my cycle, do OPK's and temp

    Personally I would go with otion 3 so when it comes to TTCing time for you again then you'll have a good idea of what your cycles are like, what a 'normal' chart is like for you etc. But then I am a total control freak and hate leaving anything to chance!!

    You were both supposed to say option 1 :rotfl:

    LittleRzippy - do you find any benefit from temping?

    I've never really given temping much of a chance but I'm sceptical as to whether I'll get any benefit from it because of the PCOS. Or does my excuse not really wash? :D

    Temping usually works with PCOS (not sure about Bigzee:p).

    With us, we could get multiple LH surges/ewcm and no ov, so temping is essential if you don't want to BD every other day forever:o

    Your not helping me!!! LOL. Any symptoms at that point? I know that I won't get a bfp due to once and the timing but I am so addicted to these sticks ... It helps to see the BFN to know if that makes sense.

    Hello all!

    I have been busy today and I'm about to spam an industrial estate with my CV and info about me, in the hope I can pick up some more clients.

    I started to feel much more hopeful re this month yesterday- when I read that sperm realistically can live from 3-5 days (and they would have had to live for 5 days for this month to be a BFP) but almost overnight, my mood has taken a nose dive.

    I prob need ice cream!

    welcome back fannyanna - I wont cry that you missed me out. *cries a bit*

    Right folks, I think it's time to start a new thread. This one is way too big.
    I'll start a new one early tomorrow morning while everyone is asleep. I'll put a closing post with a link to the new thread too.

    I'll PM the board guide so they could close this thread.

    Let me know if you don't want a new thread, or have a better idea:)

    THANKS QQ :A
