    Thanks ladies - feeling sick as a dog most mornings but rather happy about it!

    (With my mc my sickness stopped right around the time the baby died but with my son it carried on for 4 months so I really do link it with successful pregnancies, unfortunately!)

    Thank you Chelle, let's hope so! I stopped taking it around April, so was hoping I'd have a good idea by now - I guess that was ambitious seeing as I'd been taking it for nearly 10 years :doh: :(

    Hi Chelle, no I don't temp. I tried it the first few months but I never got any sort of pattern. No idea what I was doing wrong but it was all over the place. I'm probably not good at doing it as soon as I wake up. I mostly just go by CM for pinpointing OV. Sometimes get OV pains but not consistently. Unfortunately couldn't BD yesterday as I felt really sick so went to bed at 9. Will keep trying as often as possible though and keep my fingers crossed!

    Sulphate I'm glad for you that you are getting the sickness symptom, I hope it's not too bad for you.

    MrsNubs temping can be tricky. You do need to get a good nights sleep to make it accurate, luckily I do sleep well and you have to take it at the same time each day. It can be influenced by room temperature too so if your bedroom is hot this can increase it. It took me a two or three months to understand what was low and high temp for me, but I do like the way Period Tracker app plots a nice graph (I'm a bit of a geek like that), and it has been an early indicator of when AF is about to arrive so I do like it. CM is a good way too and I find it does always correspond. Hope you are feeling better today :)

    Chelle I think that's my main problem, I don't sleep all that well and also don't wake up at the same time every day, so a pattern never developed when I tried it. Feeling much better now, thanks. Will get back to BD'ing tonight and hope for the best

    Hope everyone else is ok

    MrsNubs I have to get up between 6.30-7 during the week so I set an alarm for 5.15AM every morning, took my temp and went straight back to sleep as I couldn't get to grips with doing it when I woke as some mornings I was up at 5.30 for a wee - I figured 5.15 covered all angles and I found it easy to snooze for an hour afterwards :)

    Well I take a few days off and there's even more BFP's. Congratulations Sulphate and Kirtsy, wonderful news.

    Thank you Chelle for doing the lists.

    There's nothing much happening here, still waiting for OV which will probably be at least another week. The only problem with waiting for OV in my case is I know AF is not far behind.

    I do the same, set an alarm for 6am each day regardless and this seems to work for me.

    Did you spot a change in your temps leading up to your BFP?
