GingerSaurus

Thank you everyone.

Haha PKK I wish I’d known how lucky it was, I would have joined the lists months ago!

I’ve done a digital test this morning and it’s starting to sink in now I’ve seen the words so I’ll move across to the next board.

Ladies, thank you so much for all of your support. It has made the TTC journey so much easier having you lot to talk to.

How are you doing Buttermint?

Lots of cm here, so I'm thinking I may ovulate in a few days time. I have been remembering to take my temp each morning too, although I'm not sure what I am looking for? For those of your that have or do temp, what should I be looking for?

Aunty-Pickle

PKK, generally before ovulation, your temperature does a bit of a dip and then after ovulation, your temp rises by about 0.5-1 degree - so quite a marked increase. In that sense, you don't want to rely on that to tell you when to BD because the temperature change is noticeable after ovulation - and ideally you want to BD before and during.
The advantage of charting regularly is that you can begin (hopefully - if you're fairly regular) to see a pattern. Or at least, you see a range of patterns and you can start to predict when ovulation is likely to occur. A lot of apps (I use Fertility Friend) do this automatically and they become more accurate the longer you are inputting data.
Don't worry if you see lots of "up and downs" - that's normal!! That's why it's useful to be keeping track of other things like cm and mood and any other possible symptoms

Hope that helps!!

As for me this month, I kind of can't be bothered?!! Quite surprised really but maybe my body isn't "ready" this month - no ovulation showed up yet either according to BBT etc. Maybe I'm not ovulating this month... :think:
Oh well, we'll see! It only takes once!!

Hugs for anyone and everyone who needs one... :smileyhea

Not much to report here. Fertile week started yesterday and we managed to bd Monday & last night. OH starts his new job today so no more 4am starts so hopefully he's more awake for BDing and we can get a few more times in. Opking this month too & the line is starting to get more noticeable so ov should be tomorrow/Saturday. We are away for the first time in the caravan from tomorrow night haha so should be interesting.

Feels weird doesn't it, telling a load of strangers on the internet when you had sex, when you normally wouldn't be telling anyone!

Lol skimper I know!

The past few days I've been having cramps sort of in my pelvic area at the front on both sides. I did have this a few months ago around the same time. It's quite painful but bearable without painkillers.

I'm CD 16 today. Sort of worried it's a sign of endometriosis, aside from painful periods I don't have any other of the symptoms so my mind is probably running away with me!

Hey PKK

Thanks for asking. I’m okay, not much to report yet. I think AF is on her way, expecting her to arrive properly tomorrow and am fairly certain she will.

Not overly disappointed, I’m quite content with just waiting for it to happen when it’s right. We are in quite a bit of debt at the minute and obviously I’m trying to lose weight too so every month it doesn’t happen almost means we’ll be even better off when it does.

Be interesting to see if you find temping useful. I think it would just be way too much hassle for me! Have you noticed any dips or peaks in it yet?

Happy Bding you ladies in the if in doubt zone, there’s definitely been something in the air lately, hope you catch it!

Xx

Hello all. Bit of an update.

Had an early scan on Monday. They found a gestational sac measuring 4+6 but nothing inside it at that point. I thought I was close to 5+2 or 5+4 but there is an margin of error of +/-5 days.

I've had spotting since the day I found out. The scan could find no reason for spotting. Ive since discovered that I have cervical erosion which potentially could be causing the brown blood but that isn't confirmed

I've got HCG blood tests tomorrow and Monday and by mid next week I should know if my levels are going up appropriately. If that's the case, I have a scan on the 21st which is a viability scan

Whirlwind! It's a shame because we haven't been able to enjoy getting a positive at all.
