Today is CD27, I didn't take BBT as I was woken by a banging on the door and it was too late to take it when I realised what was going on.

Snap!!! CD27 for me too!! With temp this morning of 37.12...

Feeling very crampy at the mo though so I am sure AF is on the way :mad:

Good luck honeypop, fellow charter!!!

Hi Girls,

Nice to see this ttc forum is getting used :j

I set it up ages ago - then dh went to iraq so obviously we werent ttc for a few months.

I am now on cd21 - with very sore boobs and a random kidney pain, only on the left though?? - very random!

My Dh is now away (again) and wont be home til october. Im hoping desperatly for a BFP. We made sure we had lots of BD around ovulation and a lay in bed for at least 20 mins afterwards each time so fingers crossed

We counted up our friends that have gotten pg since we have been ttc the other day - 14 couples (it must be our turn soon!) Like you other girls find it very frustrating!

Still all we can do is pray that its our turn soon!!

Wishing all you girlies the best of TTC luck

Firstly, is CD1 the day after your period appears - so say, I get my period on Thursday morning, Friday would be CD1?

I believed from reading on this thread that CD1 is the day you wake up in full flow. So if AF arrived on Thursday afternoon, then you had full flow on Friday morning, Friday is CD1.

BUT, I recently asked my doctor what would she class as CD1 and she said any time of the day you have full flow is CD1. Don't count spotting or dirty stuff, only full flow. She said the difference of a few hours isn't going to make any difference to counting cycles.

So I'd go with whatever you feel happy with.

Thanks for this. I think I am actually a day later than I thought then which is good

I'd say that as long as each month you consistently class the same day as CD1 (i.e. 1st day of bleeding OR 1st day of full flow) it wouldn't really matter what the 'official' interpretation was...?

Still no AF for me! This is day 30, nearly day 31, when my cycles are normally 21-25 days. When I last tested a few days ago it was negative.But don't want to get my hopes up still, as its probably my flippin body playing tricks on me!

Honeypop, when I was BBT charting I found that I had a sharp drop in my temperature the day before AF arrived. Having said that, I only plotted about four cycles before I gave up because I was getting too worked up over it (and I have a habit of waking up and wandering about at odd times in the night/early morning, which apparently may affect the results! :rolleyes:)

Hi Pixie, this thread is a godsend to me, so well done for setting it up.:T

I can't imagine how much pressure there must be when you on see your OH sporadically whilst ttc. Best of luck, hopefully you'll have some good news (and the rest of us too!)

I don't think I'm taking my temperature right.:o

I've only been charting for 5 days and my temp in the mornings varies between 36.10 - 36.60. I take it when I wake up and am still lying in bed half asleep. Twice over the weekend I woke up and took my temperature, which was 35.71 both times, then realised it was still the middle of the night and I went back to sleep and got a temp of 36.1 and 36.3 when I woke up again in the morning. I don't understand why my temperature would be so much lower in the early hours of the morning?
