Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

By the way for those of you in the market for pregnancy tests, I bought some on eBay - 6early preg tests for $2 posted!!! They're pink dye so should be pretty reliable! :)
 
Lisa, maybe try ordering some cheapies off the Internet. I find I am not regular enough to get my positive out of a store one, last time I used 8 or 9. This time I would have needed about 25 if I used them lol. Makes it a lot more affordable!

Melainey, hoping you will get your BFP!

Good to hear Ginny!! :)

If you put your chart in your signature, does it auto update or do you have to replace it each day?
 
LLPM - This was my first time charting so I can't compare :'( I haveb't tested since Tuesday and don't want to waste anymore tests so am gona wait until monday :) By then I will be DEF late :D (If she stays away that is)

Ginny - Yeah i know but the only thing making me think it's not is because of my CM but sure we will have to wait and see :)

Either way I will be happy if AF or BFP comes :) Cause if AF comes I can start again and I will have more of an idea of what to look out for etc ... :happydance: and of course if it'sa bfp obviously I would be so excited hehe :
 
That's ok, I got pregnant first month charting with Maggie! Wow you must have some willpower...I'd be testing, but that's me! If you can hold out good on you!! Hehe.
Also FF goes by the most likely time for O - it generally doesn't get it wrong! It's moved my O date before and been right so I would trust it, if you are sure you're temping properly it's pretty reliable!
 
Hehehee If i had some I would be testing but my IC haven't come yet so I can't turn into a psycho yet hehehehe

P.s if i o'd on c26 I would be out cause DH was sick the week after assumed O so we couldn't :sex: but that's ok :) I only ever get EWCM once a month that's How I normally guessed but who knows :happydance:

It automatically updates! :)

Your chart updates on its own :) Would be too much hassle to have to upload it every day!

Yeah I might do that next month or I might start charting. Thanks for the tip.
 
I totally understand not charting as a way to not get too wrapped up in ttc, but after trying it, I'm all for it!
 
Yay - my chart is in my signature now! How exciting!!

it's the small thing in life.... lol
 
Just stalked your chart :) what do the white dots on the graph mean - mine only has blue???
 
It's when the data has inconsistencies, it's just to say check out your stats if you think something may be causing your temp to be different. I've been sleeping badly lately, so testing at different times, I think that's what's causing the blue outlines
 
Can someone please explain to me about the charting. Sorry I know anything about it. Do you just take your temperature every morning for a whole month? When do I start taking my temperature the day I get my AF? Do I just buy it at the Chemist? Thank you for your time.
 
you take your temperature either orally or vaginally (I find vaginally is more accurate for me - and yes, it seems weird until you do it for a couple of days, then just seems normal. lol) first thing in the morning, before getting out of bed, having a drink etc. when you put it on your chart, you will notice that temps are lower leading up to O and after O there is a huge increase in the progesterone your body produces, so your temp rises significantly. You can see when you have Ovulated, so you know exactly when to expect AF or BFP. It takes a couple of months to figure out your body's pattern.

you use a basal thermometer - from your chemist, if it doesnt say basal on it, I thin kyou can settle for a high quality digital thermometer with 00.0 readings because is only varies slightly some days.

I'd suggest going to fertility friend and signing up, they send you daily emails for the first 20 days or something, and they explain it all bit by bit. it's really interesting, and you feel like you have a bit more control of your body...

At first, I didn't want to make such a conscious effort to TTC, I thought it would 'just happen' but now I'm really ready, so I'm happy to be charting every day!
 
also, starting on day of AF is best, but I started before, and it's good to get the hang of it a bit before it's the real thing.
 
Hi Lisa, You have to take your temp every morning as soon as you wake up before you get out of bed. I log mine at www.fertilityfriend.com and also on an app on my phone. You just need either a bbt thermometer or a digital one that reads to at least one decimal point. I just bought mine at woollies - I think it cost about $8. You can also chart your CM on FertilityFriend.com (it is a free website). I did a fair bit of googling before I started charting as I had no idea eaither... if you google 'bbt and fertility' heaps of info comes up. Hope that is helpful! Good Luck!
 
Mum to Quigely you beat me to it - you must type faster than me :)
