    Jojo I'm right there with you, I want this so much, but every so often I have a major freak attack about it all. I do have a tendency to over-analysis everything though.

    Millie don't want to get your hopes up unnecessarily, but those do sound like rather positive symptoms, fx crossed!!

    Afm, CD16 still no +ve opk, although earlier today I got the strongest line ever, but it was -ve when I tested again later :huh: Really strong ov pains today, lots ewcm, sore nipples & had a sharp temp drop this morning, so based on that, I do think I'm oving. Bded this morning just to be on the safe side ;) Feeling really positive about it all atm, although I'm sure I'm come crashing down to reality before long. Seems to be all or nothing with me, I'm either super hopeful, or really down about the whole thing, guess I just don't do half-measures lol.

    Sexy, thanks as always for doing the lists :A

    Baby dust to all :)
  • Seems to have been lots of BDing this weekend. Some knackered people this week I bet :o;)
  • Cd1 for me. Had a 9 1/2 day LP! With 2 days of spotting. Not sure if that's an improvement or not, lol!

    Ive decided to stop taking the vitex, incase that's whats causing the spotting. Ive ordered some maca, though I'm undecided if I'll take it or not.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has had a few panicky moments thinking - what if this actually works ?!? The first month of trying I was almost relieved when it didn't. Crazy I know. I think it's because it feels as if I've only just reached a point in my life when I am settled, financially okay, not too ill, and work is trotting along. Plus, I have a health condition which is almost certain to make my life difficult should I fall pregnant / afterwards. Anyways, I would love a family, a child so I'm pushing those occasional aggghhh moments to the back of my head.

    Still not hitting that peak - last month it was early, this month I think it's going to be late....

    I've had strange pulling type/twinge pains today... Like I feel like AF could start? But I'm not due for another week and half.. ! Unless they are ovulation pains.. ?But I thought I had them on Thursday!

    I suffer from colitis so sounds strange but sometimes I wonder if the pain is coming from my ovaries/uterus.. Or from my intestines!
  • Bit anxious this morning guys. The FF app has taken away the info about my ovulation occurring saying that my temps are too erratic to see a pattern :(
    However, I think this is because:
    · The thermometer was about £3 off Amazon and does not say it is BBT on it (it did on the website)
    · I don’t temp at the same time each day (weekend was much later than weekday)
    · I snooze a lot and find it hard to wake up so I’m usually in a half asleep state when I do it
    · Not sure if this makes a difference but my bedroom was boiling at the weekend so my spike was probably because of that
    Roughly readings have been 36.45-36.61 and I had a spike of 36.85 on Saturday
    Any advice? I’m gutted that the app has made me feel like ovulation hasn’t happened now :(

    Hi Ladies think I O'd on Sunday but I think my drunken Saturday night affected my Sunday morning temp so I can't be sure. I got a peak on my CBFM on Thursday so Sunday would tie-in. So that makes me 2dpo.

    This is my 6th cycle so feeling less anxious as im feeling less like I might have caught each month.

    Rachylou there are three different settings on the app and changing it might help detect O. Also are you using OPKs and tracking cm as all three should mean you can see when O was?

    It's not saying O didn't happen but if it can't see 3 clear temp rises above the covering, and no other possible temp spikes then it through out the software. There's a part of the forum you can get advice from the FF staff.

    If you discard the temp from when you room W's boiling do the crosshairs come back?

    I tested using an IC this morning and it's negative. Still holding out hope though, I'm only 10dpo.
