so should my temp be lower or hight when ovulating ? sorry i sound so thick no one in my family talks about this stuff as they all fell preg with out even trying

MrsExcited

so sorry for you Portsmouth Ali. Good luck with the docs. Thinking of you.

I am sooo regretting this chilled TTCing. I wish that I did OPKs this cycle so I knew which dpo I am!! grrr!!

currently CD21(31/29/10).
I am working myself up now wondering if my last AF which cut short my last cycle to 10 days was a real AF. If not then I would be on CD31.
I've got absolutely no symptoms except a face full of spots - I normally have very clear skin which people often remark on.
I am deffo annoying myself. Can I possibly wait another 7 days to test??

What tends to happen is your temp is UNTIL you ovulate. You temp will rise the day AFTER ovulation. So you can't really tell exactly when you will by temp along. But eggwhite mucus from your cervix will help you identify that it is imminent. I have had egg white yesterday and today. So I expect to ovulate today and my temp to rise tomorrow. Or if I ov tomorrow my temp will go up the day after. You will need to temp and spot your mucus for a few months really to get your general pattern, We all learn at school we ov on day 14. For me that has so far not been true. I ov anywhere between day 10-14.Last month it was 14 month before one before that 10 ... so you can only really know when the temp rises that you have oved. That and when you have oved egg white mucus tends to go too. The fertility friend course is good too.

Hi all,
((((Hugs)))) to everyone who needs them.
Congrats to all the March BFPs :j

I didn't post at all this cycle as the month before I'd got too obsessed and it made me have a mini meltdown so I was keeping my mind off it as much as possible.

This past month we've been DTD every other day from CD3 to CD24 and until last month I had fairly regular cycles of between 29-31 days. (Last months cycle was 35) I still hadn't come on by CD36 so we tested but sadly it was BFN so I knew then I was just being irregular and came on this morning (total cycle was 38)

Still only been TTC 7 months so can't go to Drs yet but I really think something is up with either me or OH, wish we could find out sooner.

So back to CD1 today, am gonna give temping & ov testing another go and see if I can work out whats going on! Also gonna DTD every other day again.
Onwards and upwards everyone, sure it'll happen for us all soon.
xxxx

Been out Gardening and come back and look at you lot gasbags!

Firstly Portsmirth ali I am so sorry it has happened again, massive hugs and please be kind to yourself. Kelly its asprin not paacetemol, its because it acts as a blood thinner, and its thought that some miscarriages are due to blood clotting, here read this

I would have been due May 10th, so will be very, very sad if not pregnant by my due date.

Ali I hope they find an obvious reason for you thats treatable, but be aware quite often there is no satisfactory reason, but and I know it doesnt make it better, woman who have recurrent miscarriages most do go on to have healthy babas, do you have children allready?
I am worried about a friend at work, she has had three m/c and is at 9 weeks at the moment (normally when she has a m/c and she was so worried at work last week, keeping my fingers crossed this bean is sticky for her, she has had one healthy baba though.
Waves to DP.

Ah, thanks for that. I knew I heard something but wasnt sure what.
Hope you get BFP before May pawpurrs x

I think it can vary between GP's to be honest, but it seems the minimum time is 12 months of actively trying, and the highest I've heard was 24 months.

Not really. I think something like, only 25% of couples fall pregnant within the first 3 months, and that percentage continues to rise to about 80% within the first 12 months.

Soo....if you went to docs at 6 months, as far as they are concerned, you are well within the 'normal' timeframe to conceive. They could then be doing a lot of tests for no reason, or even just to say 'Hey, you're fine. It'll happen when it happens.'. If you see what I mean?

However, I can understand, for those who do experience problems that waiting that long, feels like you're just adding another year onto fixing the problem. The only way I can think of to bypass this, is to pay privately for screening before TTC'ing. But, seeing as we don't all have tonnes a money, that's unlikely to happen.

What pills are you referring to?
