thanks britt think i may put the thermometer away after this month if my bloods confirm that ive O'd and just go from my opks to time BD.
i wouldnt say that charting stresses me but i do find it a pain.
as i dont have a partner its not like knowing that i havent O'd yet means i can keep covering my bases anyway. ive found this month interesting so far as it does look like ive O'd and also fits in with my positive opks.
fay if u O'd on sat then FF may not mark your ovulation on there til 2moro as they normally need to see 3 raised temps before they do it. what have your temps been like since have they gone up?

hi ladies

just come back from seeing my dr, he is going to call me with the results of my day 21 bloods on friday and said that if i havent ovulated then he will refer me to the hospital, he wont increase the dose of clomid himself incase of over stimulation.

he has also told me to stop charting! he said its not good because it will make me more stressed! and that that will do me more harm as far as conceiving goes. what are your thoughts on this? ive found it useful just to confirm O. i mean plenty of people chart and still get pregnant. i know its not that useful for timing BD so maybe i should just go with my positive opks. im confused now

Tink sweetie,
I never charted or tempted - I felt it was too much.
I just followed the Egg Meets Sperm plan and did my OPK's of course not peeing for three hours was hard but well worth it as the month (last month) I got my BFP by following the EMS plan as well as using the preseed. I am a firm believer in this as we tried for 16 months but this was the first month of these two combinations and I drank green tea and grapefruit juice.

I think charting and temping works but I can see it also stresses people but to each is there own and you follow what you think is right hun

 

[tink28]

thank u smile, i think for me its been just amazing to see a temp rise for the 1st time ever this month. but as im using a donor i think charting is probably more use to someone in a relationship who can keep covering their bases until they see a rise and know they have definitely O'd.
if im not lucky this month i am going to do the green tea and grapefruit juice and also have ordered conceive plus which is similar to preseed as i have to say i was pretty dry this month and think that was the clomid.
i use CB digi opks and i think they are good, i trust in them.
massive congrats on your BFP and hope u are keeping well! xx

 

[tink28]

fay i just took a quick look at your chart, im no expert but i would say keep on with BD when u can and maybe opks again maybe your body geared up to ovulate but hasnt yet

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Thanks ladies.

Tink, good luck with your blood test results. FX that you ovulated and you get that bfp this cycle.

Winston, hope you have nice fresh ripe eggs soon!

Lisaf, its great that you ovulated on your own. I hope your progesterone levels improve soon.

DM, Emma, Ttc, where are you guys?

As for me, af is headed my way with a vengeance! I feel awful! Hope it gets here quickly!

 

[caz & bob]

I'm a dohh brain!!

 

[DragonMummy]

evening all. Am reclining on my bed, resplendant with my hot flushes.....

 

[ttcbaby117]

annie - FF will tell you after you oved.....so I would do opks as well.

welcome dobchop - good luck this cycle.

Tink - I think i am putting down my thermometer also....

Lisa - 11 dpo..still early hun but I am keeping everything crossed for you!

isi - glad af is on her way and you can start your BFP cycle....

DM - enjoy your hot flushes hun....LOL I still cant get over your avatar.

AFM - I got my authorization for my dr appt from insurance today so that si good. I head to florida this weekend for my monday appt. I have been reading tons and it looks like I will have to stop ttc for at least 2 months no matter what they do. I am going to try my hardest to enjoy this break and pray for a fast bfp afterward. I will stop charting also because I do think it stresses me out. I also think we will take a vacation and I will have drinks and eat and not worry about ttc diets etc. I am almost feeling as if this break will help me. This last year has been hard. It is weird but in a way I feel relieved. Of course I would have felt better if I had my BFP, but not trying for 2 months is ok. Not sure how I will feel about it tomorrow hahaah but we will see. Oh and I really hope it isnt longer than 2 months.

 

[lisaf]

I don't find charting stressful... to me, its more stressful not to know whats going on at all ... but thats the control freak in me
It has helped me when I wasn't ovulating ... saved me a fortune in HPTs because I knew I hadn't ovulated. So in that sense, it kept me from stressing out. I also always know when my period is coming regardless of how long my cycle has been so far/when I O'd.

In the past hour or so I started getting some AF-like cramping. I took another HPT because I'm an addict and my pee was actually darker/more concentrated that its been in the mornings lately. I've had some particular spot cramping (first it was front left lower abdomen, now its lower right ovary area)... boobs are not exceptionally sore.. just feel like they are bruised deep down. Thats it for me....
though I stared at a woman's bump today pea-green with envy.

 

[Smile4me]

OH LISA F - FX'd!!!!! Can you take a test tomorrow?

 

[lisaf]

lol I'll be testing tomorrow for sure!

 

[tink28]

hey ttc good news about your appt good luck for monday. maybe the break from ttc will do u good and lower stress for a while, ive heard of people getting their bfp after a break!!!

lisa let us know if u test! have everything crossed for u!

im wondering if i should test today with something sensitive like FRER? im 9 dpo, maybe too early... what do u think? can i resist temptation......? xxx

 

[Isi Buttercup]

I wouldn't advise you to test at 9dpo, Tink!!!! Maybe a 13dpo.

 

[tink28]

im thinkin the same thing, but its killing me lol!
i swore i would wait til af did or didnt come this month, just goes to show how impatient i am! been looking at people who got positives at 8dpo and 9dpo on FF! x

 

[sarlar]

tink i am the same!! i am dying to test today!!! i am debating since i have a ton of tests in my bathroom calling my name- i ordered a bunch on line!!!
