Anyone else now trying again STRAIGHT after a mc? NTNP?

[Mrs Miggins]

Oh dear. OH has man flu and has fallen asleep on the sofa. Tough. He can sleep later!

Morning girls!

So all is good, we've got all sides and angles covered with the ovaries and we're bd-ing for Britain! Someone has to get a BFP soon!

Ickle - grapefruit doesn't sound too good to me either but hope it works for you. And "Oh yeahhhh" to Dr Luca I fancied him then too but didn't recognise him!! I'm not allowed to watch Pan Am on a Sat anymore so will have to record it and watch when DH os out. Thinks it's on iplayer too. How's your hip?

My temps not really up - is that normal the day after a peak on the CBFM?

 

[filipenko32]

oh no I tell a lie, my temp has gone up by 2 tenths from where i think my cover line will be, so that's the highest ever this month! does that sound right given i only got my peak yesterday?

 

[filipenko32]

emum - I was just stalking your chart to compare with mine and saw you never got a peak last time, or it doesnt say so on your chart, how come?

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Morning Fil! I am sorry I don't know... I'm confused too because my temp was even higher this morning. So for the last two days it has shot up so does that indicate that I probably ov'd on Saturday? My cm hasn't given me a lot to go on this month. And I have just been sick.....

 

[ickle pand]

Fili - I notice all but one of your temps is an open circle. What's the reason for them? I get the feeling I've asked you before but my brain's not in gear yet.

Mrs Miggins - Sorry you're not feeling well. There's so many bugs doing the rounds just now. I hope you're feeling better soon.

AFM - I'm really tired today. DH came back to bed in the middle of the night and we were both tossing and turning lots. Going to have a bath and an early night tonight. I got a high this morning, my temps for the last few days have all been low, but I'm putting that down to disturbed sleep with DH being ill. My hip's still sore too so time to go back to the doc.

I'm trying to work out what to do about our SMEP schedule. It was supposed to be a no day yesterday but that didn't happen lol! So do I just carry on the schedule (ie bd today, break tomorrow, unless I get a peak) or do I have today as our day off?

 

[Emum]

emum - I was just stalking your chart to compare with mine and saw you never got a peak last time, or it doesnt say so on your chart, how come?

I think I messed up my CBFM by being a scrooge. The month before I stopped testing after I got my first peak, as I had been told that after that the machine stops reading the sticks and you automatically get another peak and a high, so it is a waste of sticks to keep testing. So I just reused my last stick for the remaining days. And lo and behold the next month it didnt detect a peak even though my OPKs did, so I guess it WAS actually reading the data after that first peak and logging it, and because my stick had the same high LH and low oestrogen for days and days it assumed that was my normal level and couldnt detect a peak last month

I have completely rebooted it for this month so hopefully it should start working properly again.

Ooo I've just noticed something interesting. I did a chart comparison with all my charts apart from the one after the mc, with an average line on it, to try and see where this cycle fits in and to try and predict ov (I'm thinking Wednesday now). Anyway the interesting bit is that my temp always spikes at 10DPO and then drops back down at 11DPO on all my charts except the one where I was pregnant. I'm guessing that's something I should be looking out for at 11DPO from now on.

 

[filipenko32]

Feeling really irritable today, is that a sign ov has happened do you think?

 

[filipenko32]

Morning Fil! I am sorry I don't know... I'm confused too because my temp was even higher this morning. So for the last two days it has shot up so does that indicate that I probably ov'd on Saturday? My cm hasn't given me a lot to go on this month. And I have just been sick.....

I think the sickness is the jolt of progesterone after ov - shame it's not 10dpo or something! Temp shooting up is def ov has been and gone. I suffer from sickness due to this lately too Not sure about my last temp either so going to do it again and take an average as I took it again and it was back to being really low...

ickle - i've no idea! Is it because all my temps are taken at random times?

 

[filipenko32]

and suddenly I am SERIOUSLY craving pickled onions!!!!!!!!!! I have just eaten most of a jar.

That's interesting ickle! So would that be the implantation then and it should be the same spikey temp if you're pregnant?

 

[ickle pand]

ickle - i've no idea! Is it because all my temps are taken at random times?

Yeah that'll be it. FF gives you half an hour each way from your normal time before it gives you an open circle. FF tells you not to correct but it does have a temp corrector, which is a bit confusing. It's up to you if you use it or not though. I usually do correct temps, but I've never had that many before.

That's interesting ickle! So would that be the implantation then and it should be the same spikey temp if you're pregnant?

I don't think it's implantation, because I tested +ve at 10DPO, so it would've happened earlier. I missed taking my temp for 3 days in a row in the 2WW that cycle so don't know if I got a dip or not. I think that my body must just suss out at that point whether I'm pregnant or not lol! At least my LP is very regular, since my FP is all over the place lol!

 

[MichelleLC]

Good morning ladies, thank you for the replies.

I ordered some tests online this morning so waiting for them but went to Semichem and they had some cheap ones for a pound like the ones online so I got a couple and will test later. The urge to test is huge, but I don't want to be disappointed. Even DH is urging me to test this morning lol.

I had a bad night last night at about midnight, nausea was that bad I really thought I was going to be sick and have had the nausea pretty much on and off this morning. I don't think it is AF as I never have felt sick with it before.

 

[filipenko32]

good luck michelle! Let us know the result!

 

[pinksmarties]

Hi all,

Lots going on.

Michelle - let us know the results, fingers crossed! It looks like you had everyday covered bding. I'd be knackered!!

Ickle - that 11dpo drop is interesting. I agree with you that the progesterone is dropping by that point as it 'knows'. Lets hope the the next 12dpo stays high!! Not sure about the smep. I'd have today off then resume again tomorrow but if you think the extra bding isn't too tiring then I'd go for it.

Mrsmig - that look like a proper temp rise now rather than a one off so you my have ov'd. Would that be early for you? Is this your 'short' month?

emum - sorry for the confusion re your weekend away. Something for you to look forward to next weekend. I was wondering the same about the CBFM. It is very tempting to use the sticks after but I am going to use all it asks for this month. I know it doesn't seem a lot of money in the grand scheme of things but they are pricey compared to the ic opk, but it'll be worth it.

fili - I think it'll need another rise to be sure. How are you feeling about wednesday?

Any news from MrsMM? She hasn't been on for a while. Hoping the donations are going well.

Hope I haven't missed anyone.

AFM - another high on CBFM, so thats 5 so far CD10/11. We bd last night, the first proper time of actually bding for a reason not just fun, if you know what I mean. It did seem a bit strange having to ask him to do the job but I suppose it'll get easier.

 

[pinksmarties]

forgot to add I do adjust my temps and they are similar to what they would have been at the correct time (when I have checked them again).

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Michelle, good luck, I hope this is your month.
Pink, I was wondering about Mrs Mm too, hope she is ok.
Ickle, hope that hip is feeling a bit better, agree with Pink about the smep.
Fil, I think FF likes you to do your temps at the same time but as you are using your cbfm as well you know what's going on anyway. I don't think I'm going to adjust my temps.
Afm, I think I must have ov yesterday. The lines on the sticks are much paler today and I have a definite rise in temp. Pink, I think it might be my short cycle, hard to say for certain as last months AF was the first post Eric but she did come 28 days after the first day I started bleeding. So i suppose I am now in the 2ww! We bd Saturday morning and last night so I hope that was enough.

 

[Emum]

OK, too late to back out now! I have booked the hotel, and a babysitter from 2pm until 10pm. I have also booked a "couples massage" in the hotel spa at 4pm. Its a very nice hotel with a lovely spa so I don't think that will be anything seedy

Hubby has been told we have a pre-Christmas surprise and that if he cross books himself or thinks he needs to go into the office, there will be hell to pay!

Hotel is only 30 minutes away, so plan is to arrive around 2.30, settle in, ahem, massage from 4 - 5.30, then maybe some champagne and nibbles in the room afterwards. I'll bring the champers with me from home. The room has a TV and DVD player so maybe a nice romantic movie, and some more "settling in", before leaving around 9.30 ish to be home for babysitter.

Anyone have any ideas for a suitable movie. Not porn obviously, but something suitably atmospheric, or any other ideas to make a nice evening out of it?

ETA - ooh, and FF is predicting that Sunday will be ov day anyway!

 

[ickle pand]

My film suggestions - Knocked Up, Maybe Baby lol!

My favourite romantic film is Love Actually (it was one of the only dvd's that DH and I both had when we moved in together) it's very seasonal as well since it's all about christmas.

Make sure you have plenty of food or get room service - you'll be starving after all that "settling in"

Sounds like you've got a lovely afternoon/evening planned
