Lovely Ladies TTC

[AuCa]

Still nothing going on over here in my cycle. It's really seemed to stabilize the past few days, and not doing much of anything.
If I don't see spotting or AF in a few days I decided to try and induce it with progesterone cream and move on to another cycle!
Next cycle I plan to use royal jelly from the start to hopefully help with a healthy ovulation!

Sorry to hear that, must be so frustrating. Hope you have a great next cycle!

Welcome back AngelNoelle!

I am monitoring and temping away, and actually quite surprised that my temps were pretty stable the last couple of days. Impatiently waiting for the peak days though....

Smiler82,AuCa: thanks so much for the info! I've been temping since the 18th so about 11 days I always take it every morning at the same time and I do it while I'm still in bed, I use fertility friend! I have the mobile app too since I don't have a computer and its so easy but my only concern is it looks like my temps were up and down I'm still new to the website so I'm not sure how to post especially since I can only do things with the Mobil apps I'm thinking I O'd yesterday but not sure if it is too early AF left on the 22nd is it possible? Idk please help me ladies!

Hmm, I think it would definitely be possible that you O'd yesterday considering your AF timing. What day of your cycle are you on, and how long are they usually? Did you notice any EWCM?
It would be much easier if we could actually look at the chart though. When you say "up and down", by how much do you mean? My temps are also not always the exact same, the still fluctuate a bit. And once FF detects that your temperature was rising and it stays up for 3 days (I believe) it will indicate that you ovulated.

My turn to agree with AuCa My temps are never the same either. FF always says not to worry about individual temps, it's just a pattern you're looking for. So once you get 3 days of high temps, FF will give you crosshairs to pinpoint your O day and give you a coverline. The coverline is just a visual tool to help you see how your preO temps are in a low range and your post O temps are in a higher range.

I have the app too and there is a button for sharing, but I've never used it. I think you can email a link, but not sure what happens after that!! Or just type out all your temps here and we'll try to help

FF users, do you use their cover line or do you use the other where you count back 5 days from O and go up 1/10 of a degree? When I saw it was so low, the comment said it was b/c they don't want women worrying. Do you think it matters?

 

[AuCa]

Hmmm, what do you need the cover line for (I mean, it doesn't really matter what it is at, does it?)? Frankly, I don't pay much attention to it, as long as I see the biphasic pattern.

I guess if your temp keep dipping below the cover line it could me progesterone problems kinda like a short LP. I rather not have it b/c then I keep worrying that it'll dip. My temps this month are about 3/10 of a degree lower overall, which I'm attributing to colder temps since we're moving into fall. Weird.

How many days DPO are you Minuet? Did you get the cream from your Dr? Good luck w/a HH O!

Well got my Smilie yesterday afternoon....dtd Saturday and Sunday and Monday morning and Monday night, Got a smile again this morning...dtd the deed this morning. Will do again tonight and tomorrow morning. Using preseed..praying for a BFP. Do you think I am covering all my basis? Should I keep bd'ing til no smilie???? I got a smilie cycle day 11...I usually o on day 14 which would be tomorrow. Thank you!!!!

We're on the same track But I think I O'd today since my first surge was Sun pm. I didn't notice any EWCM except for a tiny bit today so I'm glad I used preseed too! I decided to bd since my surge appeared. They say every other day is better but I did that last month and got a bfn.

Fingers crossed that we all O this cycle and that we all have "normal" cycles this month too!!!

I totally agree!

I use FAM which takes the previous 6 days temps and puts the coverline .1 higher than the highest of those temps.
It shouldn't matter too much so long as you can see a clear biphastic shift. There is truth though to the fact that if your temps are often below the coverline, it could be low progesterone or perhaps not actually ovulating.

As for the question you asked me, no I didn't get progesterone cream from a doctor. You can actually buy it online many places, it's just natural progesterone cream.
I haven't ovulated this cycle and it appears to be an anovulatory, so I'm using the cream to induce a bleed, not a true AF.

DOn't know if this helps at all but this is what FF says about the coverline:
The coverline carries no physiological meaning. It is just a visual tool to help you see your ovulation pattern. Whether or not your temperature rises or falls below this line does not necessarily indicate anything significant. Individual temperatures can fluctuate at any time of the cycle, for both hormonal or non-hormonal reasons. A single dropped temperature usually doesn't mean much. You want to look at "the big picture" and see a pattern of temperatures over time. As long as you can see a biphasic pattern and a trend towards elevated temperatures after ovulation, there is no need to worry about a single dropped temperature or two.

If, however, you have so many lower temperatures that you can no longer see a biphasic pattern on your chart, (and you are taking your temperature accurately) this could mean that you did not yet ovulate and should consider yourself potentially fertile so you don't miss an opportunity to conceive.

Yay, I'm 1 dpo too! My temp only increased 3/10 so hopefully I did O. I have my annual exam on 11/12 so I'm going to hold out until then. I'll be 13 dpo so I'll have her test me at the office unless I'm getting some solid symptoms. I don't want to over analyze symptoms this 2ww b/c I thought for sure I was prego last time. I'm learning more things each month about what's normal & what's not. Good luck to you and the other ladies!

 

[bbanner19]

Yay Shannon30 and PurpleIvy44...I will be stalking your TWW! Good luck! Baby dust! Let's get some more BFPs!!!

Make sure you keep using opks, and I'd still be BD until you see 3 days of high temps.
Your temp is still in the same range it has been this whole cycle, and you haven't had a positive OPK in the past couple days, so it is still possible you have yet to O.
You can have an LH surge without actually O'ing, so don't stop BD yet! Wouldn't want you to miss the egg!

I hope that you really did O already though and we just keep seeing that temp go higher.

[Shannon30]

[Nadhoo]

[Smiler82]

Pretty sure I am also 2 dpo! I usually have 5-6 weeks in between 2WWs, so to be in another one so soon is weird! Thank you clomid

 

[MinnieMcMoose]

Girls, I just had some pink spotting at 4dpo. Too early to be implantation, too late to be ovulation bleeding (which I had last month for the first time ever!). I never get breakthrough bleeding, my periods are really regular. Any thoughts?

 

[Smiler82]

Minnie I know it would be super early but I think IB is still possible at 4dpo; if the egg was already part way down the tube before being zapped by the swimmers it could possibly have made it to the womb a little earlier than most?! Not 100% sure on that but I really think anything is possible with the human body!

Otherwise, it could perhaps be due to some sort of irritation, if you've been having lots of sex? I hear it is possible for the cervix to get a little irritated and can bleed a little. Totally harmless.

Do you temp?

 

[MinnieMcMoose]

No, this is only my 4th cycle so haven't got around to learning how to do it, although I have downloaded a guide, just didn't get around to reading it!
I thought it might be from too much bd'ing but last time we did it was Tuesday. I don't know, guess I'll just have to wait and see.

 

[Smiler82]

I cannot help myself but google and I did find some stories of IB at 4dpo....possibly an idea to not read too much into it just in case, but FX in 10 days time you will be seeing 2 lines x

 

[AuCa]

I sometimes get tiny amounts of spotting. Sometimes around ovulation, so I always assumed it would be caused by that. But Fx'ed!!!!!!


Nothing new for me - CD14 and still waiting to ovulate
Had a temperatures spike this morning, but I am disregarding it as I slept really badly and have no other fertility signs. And my monitor still says "high". Might back up with an OPK later today though, just to make sure....Guess I'll see if my temp is still up tomorrow, I doubt it though.
