Morning everyone, hope you all have a great day. I actually remembered to temp this morning. BIG brownie points for my old-lady brain! I must go look up the instructions so I can put my chart into my siggy.
 
Testing siggie...hmmm that didn't work, back to the drawing board.
 
Woohoo well done maddy fir remembering to test this morning. Now to figure out how to chart it :) I am useless so I can't help. I think angel taught me
 
Morning girls!!

Crosshairs finally appeared on my chart! A few days behind, but I'm in the wait wilt you Lainey!

Maddy yay for charting! Go to share, where you got the code for the link, but choose the thumbnail link instead.

Kiwi, not sure of classy hens, mine was awesome, but not classy. A couple of games we played we're people wrote notes & attached to my skirt and I had to tell the embarrassing story they related to in front of everyone, also broke into teams to design the best toilet paper wedding dress, and at the start we played a get to know you game where the girl organising said things and people had to drink. Eg I work with the bride , or I'm a part of the grooms family. That was good for us cos I had people who didn't know each other. I'll let you know if I think of anything classy!
 
Morning ladies!
Welcome Abby & cossime! :)

I haven't had chance to read through everything, and I had the crappiest nights sleep ever so my brain isn't working yet!

Kiwi, your chart looks good! I just read an article about observing ovulation patterns, it looks like you have a slow rise! Frustrating at the time but once those crosshairs appear you're likely to be 4-6dpo! :)

Maddy well done on remembering!

Abby, would love to chat about vitex, I feel like its doing something...cramps, earlier ovulation (hopefully!) did you take it the whole cycle? I'm planning to stop once O is confirmed! I'm only taking 1pill a day too, I wanted to work my way up and I feel like I have 'symptoms' so maybe I don't need anymore?!

My temp is back up this morning, feeling confident I O'd on CD20! All the signs are pointing to that date. It's looking like I have a fallback rise on my chart?! Hmmmm
 
Good Morning Ladies! Thankyou so much for making us new birds feel so welcome! it will be nice to share my crazy and TMI (i have plenty of both) and read about your experiences!
Pammy: Welcome to the world of Vitex! yes take it all the time all through the month, right up until you get a BFP then stop. I asked if it would hurt an implanting baby and it wont. I noticed a difference after a month taking it. SO much of a difference that my second cycle was a 29 day one! i havent been in the 20s range for as long as i could remember! You will notice that you run out fast, it has 40 tabs and with you taking three times a day the maths doesnt even out. So i tend to keep bottle in my bag, one at work and one at home. that way i dont forget! if you keep one in your bag make sure the barcode tag is taken off...i had a semi full bottle in my bag once and set the alarms off in priceline...which was somewhat unpleasant.
I think im 7 dpo today, hard to say, but the not knowing what DPO i am i think is helping some of the crazy. Normally id be on google looking up "7dpo symptoms" to see what i could find. Not doing any of that at the moment...and not really having any symptoms to speak of.
 
LLPM what brand are you taking of Vitex? i tried taking 1 a day for a while, (mostly because i kept forgetting and only remembering at night), and although it had me in the 5-6 week range, once i started taking it three times a day, every day i got a more predictable cycle. I was told there is no harm taking post ov, in fact the studies done it has shown its improved the length of the LP in women who have a short one. Ive tried both way, taking all the way through and stopping after Ov, and my LP has been about 12-14 days both ways. You could check with a naturopath if you are worried about it, i did with mine and she has me taking it the whole way through. I guess if there are scientific research that it improves the LP then that is ok. wont hurt a new bub.
 
hello ladies. i feel crook as this morning... i am heading back to bed.

Thanks Abby! :) I'm taking blackmores. Will up it next cycle if I don't get pg this month. My LP is maximum 10days (although it's been increasing by half day increments over the last few months so I wouldn't be surprised if I make it to 11dpo this cycle!) ideally I'd like it to be at 12days then I could rule it out as an issue! :) so maybe I will keep taking it, it's made me feel really crampy but I can deal with that if it increases my LP!!

Hope you all have a lovely day...we've had a few tantrums already all over an 'old macdonald' book!! I think we need to get out...
 
HI Girls! Welcome to another sunny tuesday!! (Yes, it would appear that :jo: remembered to take her happy pills this morning!!!!!) Or maybe just endorphinised from my morning ride :)

Pammy sorry to hear you arent well luv, hope you feel better after some more snoozes xx

Maddy good to see we have another chart to :coolio: if you want the actual picture of your chart to appear instead of the link you need to copy the thumbnail bbcode instead i think xx

Angel, your school kids are so cute! Must be so nice to be able to work in that environment xx LOL at laineypopolous and all of her names :)

Lol number2...who would be the judge of that one??? hahahaha

LLPM I thought it was good timing to have another vitex taker join the posse!!! Glad to see your temp has shot back up - i think you will get your cross hairs very soon xx

Kiwi - i agree with LLPM - last month i had a slow rise after O....my body seems to like to mix it up to keep it interesting lol

Yay for CH squiggles :) im pretty sure there wasnt a lot of classy action at my hens night either!!!!

Sweet rosie cheeks how is your tww going hun?

I know ive missed heaps of you but i have to run to a meeting (i know - work at work - out of control!) so i will have to catch up on the rest later!

I have had a serious discussion with my ovaries and hoping we have come to an agreement that its time to o now. Well, in the next day or two anyway, so FX!!!

Hope you all have a fab day xxx
 
Thanks for the chart hints ladies, think it might appear now (FX FX FX).
 
There have been lots of studies about its benefits in helping LP length. My DH wont let me take ANYTHING unless there has been a clinical study that shows benefits. Ive worked and studied with natural therapies for many years (long ago), so im willing to give a few more things a go. Any way we both agreed this was of benefit. this website is pretty good

maddy, good to see some new charts up there!

LLPM - I suspected your temp would jump back up again! good job!

Nana - you may need to re-visit the 'house rulse' - work DOES NOT come first.....WE DO!!! lol I am going to get cranky at those ovaries of yours soon, so tell them to sharpen up!

have a great day all!
 
Thanks squigley, yeah I thought it might jump back up too! I was glad when it did this morning! :) Glad your crosshairs have shown up...there's a few in the TWW now right??

Thanks for the link Abby, that's great...I'm the same, don't want to take things just because it worked for one person. I was a bit worried because my cycle was regular for about 5months but then I had a 52day cycle! So my hormones aren't always stable! Lol.

Nana...I always find it frustrating my cycles never follow a particular pattern! Every month is a bit of a shake up! With my pregnancy chart with Maggie I had a crazy single spike for ovulation - it went up from 97.8 to 99.6 (sorry don't know what that is in Ceslsius!) Then shot back down the next day and stayed on my cover line for the rest of the cycle until I got my BFP! I was so confused my first charting cycle after having her when my temp raised slowly! Lol.
 
so your temps are trying to keep it interesting too LLPM!!! Just showing a bit of personality ;)

Thanks Squiggles, i think maybe i scared the eggs away with my cane waving antics yesterday...oooooopsies!!!!!
 
New plan: having quiche for dinner tonight, so the eggies come out to play with their friends. I am pretty sure this is gonna work too.
