Mrs T M - You look like you've interpreted your chart correctly to me. Ovulation on CD15 with a 14/15 day LP. That's a really nice biphasic chart and an almost textbook cycle. I wish my charts looked like that!

It does however look like AF will be arriving any time

I agree. Your temp chart looks like a textbook chart!!

Unfortunately looks like if youre spotting and your temp has dropped AF is on her way, but if I was you I would be really comforted by knowing you have a really good cycle so hopefully its only a matter of time before you get your bfp

We often wonder on here why it takes so long to get pregnant and a lot of us see it as a totally inefficient biological process. Well I was reading a book yesterday written by a woman who was born in 1910 in the east end, so just over a hundred years ago, where there was no contraception, who said that that in those days women couldn't control the size of their families and often just kept having babies they couldn't afford to feed or have time to really look after the way we do today. So it was all seen as a bit of a burden.

I guess we forget that its only recently in history that we've been able to control this aspect of life, and mother nature is now frustrating us in the opposite way.

Anyway it made me feel a little differently about the fact that I've not got pregnant straight away, there is obviously a biological reason for this inefficiency which we would have been grateful for in times of old!

That is a good point.

Although my great grandmother had about 17 kids (the numbers got a little blurry the more they had plus they fostered a kid so we think its 17 !:eek:) so perhaps her biological thing wasnt working properly :rotfl:

Still no AF here. Due today but sometimes my cycle is a few days longer so could be in the next three days which would take me to CD35. Looks like I will definitely be on for my birthday on Weds

Lily - do you know what level of sensitivity the clear blue ones are compared to the cheapy opks?

Are you temping as well?

Quick question: I have trouble digesting barley. Should I go completely gluten free (again) to see if it helps? Gluten sensitivity and intolerance has been linked to reduced chances of conceiving. I had to be strictly gf in the US because everything that contains wheat there is laced with barley! As far as I can tell, I haven't had trouble eating plain wheat products here. It wouldn't be that difficult to make the change, since we mostly eat meat, fruit, and veggies anyway. Not having bread won't kill us! Anyone have any thoughts?

As a side note: I'm also allergic to almost every antibiotic on the market, as well as almonds, walnuts, and macadamea nuts.

If you havent had any problems here when eating bread I personally wouldnt bother because eating bread isnt going to stop you getting pregnant!

I would only resort to that type of thing if I had been trying for a really really long time and was desperate to try anything and everything.

Otherwise its just another thing to stress about - or at least remind you of ttc every second of the day!

Been sat here thinking that if I OVd towards the end of my EWCM not at the start (which is where I normally count it from) then going by what usually happens I wouldn't have been able to get a result till yesterday. So just went upstairs and tested and BFN

Wish the witch would just hurry up and arrive!
