Yeah, but your temps at this time last month were lower. But of course, you're right, it doesn't necessarily mean anything yet.
Good God, I'm cracking up. I'm SSing for other people now!February wins: Theatre tickets0 -
tea lover, (((hugs))) for the pain, some say the ov pain with clomid is phenomenal:shocked: I never got that, but hopefully that means you have the golden eggy:)
It's definitely endo pain, as it's not quite like anything else, but I have my fingers crossed that it's ov-related.
I was thinking the other evening after you'd posted some helpful info about follicle sizes that 20-25mm is actually pretty big :eek: Surely you can feel that pop?? I feel like I should be able to see that from the outside it's so big :rotfl:.
I have just found something I'm going to make my sister for ChristmasI like to be organised.
ETA: I hate to be a complain PITA but the link to my FF chart seems to have fallen off the daily list. I like other people to be able to SS for me lol!0 -
Hi ladies - had some good news today, we've got our FS appointment booked for 3 September. DH is bricking it in case he has to do a SA there and then. Typical male he has been going on about how 'confident' he is about his super sperm all morning.... but then he did just say a few minutes ago 'you know if my SA results come back bad I probably won't speak for a whole week...'. I think he's really worried about it.
Feel good that we have a date in the diary at least, and I'm sure the FS will be much more interested/helpful than the GP!
tea/coffee lover - in case you are interested, the FS we are seeing is the author of the book I forced you to buy!!
ETA - I'll tell him what you thought of his book. That could be a good opener to break the ice0 -
hotcaffeinedrinkslover - we cross posted! Big ((hugs)) for your endo pain
Fingers crossed for that golden eggy this month!!

mrsj - there's usually instructions on when you can BD before a SA (I think you need something like a 3 day wait, or something like that) so if they do need to do one they should let you know beforehand.
Are you tempted to ask them questions about the book?? I would be lol.
Also meant to say - good luck!! Sure it'll all be fine. Men do seem to take it quite personally, although I guess we do at times too. I really don't think it crossed OH's mind that there might be a problem with him, it's really knocked him for six that he had such a rubbish result.0 -

DH has already asked when you can BD before a SA - I told him I think it's 2-5 days. He said he'll definitely go with the 5 days option so he can build up a good reserve....!! I think men are often like that, assuming all ok and then really shocked if it isn'tWhereas we ladies often prepare ourselves for the worst.
Thanks for the good luck. I need to get it out of my head that you walk into a FS appointment with a list of questions and walk out an hour later with a baby.
If only it was that simple0 -
tea lover, you are right, the FF link has fallen off for some reason:huh:
Looking at your chart, I'd say your body is preparing for ov. When estrogen rises, temp falls, and it seems like it's been low for some time now:cool: Your gigantic follicle should explode any moment now:D
mrsj28, wow 3rd Sept is very close!:j And a famous doc too:cool:
I doubt they'll ask for a SA there and then, but rather, they'll give you a jar for him to take home:o
Male infertility is harder to cure, so I can understand his anxiety:o0 -
