NEW List of TTC Chart Ladies

[lizlovelust]

wow I think I might O in a day or two.... my temp dropped like crazy!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Liz - you asked what was going on with your chart and OPK's well here's what I think. You shouldn't OPK every single day throughout your cycle. I don't think many people do and if I charted throughout my entire cycle I might get about a week or 2 of pos OPK's also. Your hormone levels change all of the time and it's not good to OPK through the whole cycle, in my opinion. It's expensive! Plus you're going to get pos OPK's even when you're not ovulating when you do it through your whole cycle because levels fluctuate all of the time. I think you should go to the doctor and only OPK starting CD 10 and on. Once period comes, stop OPKing because then you're just wasting money and stressing yourself out.

Hope this helps!

Liz - and out of all of those OPK's that you posted on page 239, I would say that CD 16 was the only POS one.

 

[lizlovelust]

I'm not talking about my OPKs telling me I'm Oing, I'm talking about my temp drop!

 

[ashknowsbest]

You posted on the last page that we're not doctors but what do you think is wrong with your pos OPK's and your chart. I don't know about your chart but I know what's wrong with your OPK's....

 

[ashknowsbest]

And nobody knows what's going on with your chart! I go to a FS and my OBGYN and they both laughed when I tried to show them my chart! A chart is not like solid medical evidence since it can change so much depending on sleep environment, time and quality of sleep!

 

[ashknowsbest]

I know you ladies aren't doctors but what do you THINK is going on with me?

... this is what I was responding to Liz

 

[lizlovelust]

Well I get 8 hours of sleep every night and temp at the exact same time every morning. So I'm pretty convinced my chart is accurate.

 

[ashknowsbest]

If you think your chart is accurate then you shouldn't be so worried then ... I don't understand ... ?

 

[lizlovelust]

Well I was worried up until today, but my temp dropped signifigantly! I'm pretty sure I'm going to O in the next day or two!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Oh ok.

 

[Hotpink_Mom]

Ash- I hope my temp ups up more tomorrow

 

[ashknowsbest]

Yeah I do too but I've seen charting on FF where they ovulate and the temps are higher but don't go that high and they still get preggo so it doesn't necessarily mean it's bad if they stay where they are but above the coverline! =D

 

[Tallmom2b]

Stinas- Sore BBs are a good sign! I've also had that pressure feeling in the mornings too before, I wonder if it's the lining of the uterus thickening or something?
Fx for you hun!

Ocean_pearl- welcome to the thread

Liz- maybe you had a virus and your body was busy fighting it off so it delayed O? But that temp drop is a good sign that your body maybe gearing up to O.
I agree with Ash, only use OPKs from CD 10 to when you know you have Od. Save yourself some money and it will keep you saner too
I also don't think any of those OpKs were positive. The test line has to be as dark or darker then the control line.

WantingABubba- I think it looks like you might have Od, keep bding jic

Ginny- have you gotten the blood test results yet? Your chart is looking better and better everyday!

Scerena- how have you been? Your doc was a punk for belittling your charting! Glad youve kept up with it. Keep bding, I dont think you have Od yet

Pink- I think you've Od, maybe youre having a slow rise? Your chart looks awesome compared to your past ones, maybe this will be it?

AFM- just waiting to hear back about my thyroid test

 

[Hotpink_Mom]

Ash and Tallmom- I love you two

 

[ashknowsbest]

Hah! I all you girls too! All the support is nice!

 

[Tallmom2b]

This is a great support group!

 

[Hotpink_Mom]

Tallmom I'm not getting my hopes up for you just yet, but you had your lowest temp yesterday then a rise today hoping it goes up tomorrow

 

[Tallmom2b]

Ya I was curious about that myself. I might wait and see what tomorrow's temps is before I commit to taking progesterone. But I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.

Hey everyone! Ive been stalking for a little bit, thought i'd join in. This is the first month of temping and doing OPKs. I think my chart looks pretty good so far, I just hope my temps stay up!
